ing. The effect, closely resembling
marble surface, is procured by a
secret process brought to America
by a company Of Italian workmen,
who alone practice it.
Large 500 candle power electric
lights, Of style only two months
on the market, make the Office at
night as light as by day.
The writer was permitted this
morning to peep behind the scenes,
into the private quarters Of the en-
ployees, where the public is seldom
allowed to go. A burglar-proof
vault 5 by 6 1-2 feet contains the
safe from the old post-office and
plenty of shelf space for valuable
matter. Lockers of a size specified
by the government are provided
for the belongings Of the clerks.
Rows Of boxes, labeled with the
renters names line the front f
the Office, while a series Of addi-
tional frames Of boxes are lined
along the rear walls. The room
formerly used as the directors
room in the bank is fitted up for
the rural delivery mail. A side
door communicates with this room
and private yard where the rural
carriers teams are to be. The yard
is to be graded and provided with
hitching posts for the men. Across
this driveway is wash-room for
the employees, as demanded BY TIE
government for all offices of the
size Of the local one. The little
building is to be fitted with the lat
est plumbing fixtures for the ac-
commodation Of the force at the
office.
Special forms, to be used in free
city delivery, which it is expected
will be introduced in March, have
also been provided. This free de-
Aivery service was promised to
Newark should the total receipts of
the office reach $4,000 annually
for three successive years. The
figures have exceeded that amount
for two years, and there is little
doubt will reach the figure a third
time before March l, 1915.
The office will be open to the pub
lie for inspection some time early
next week. -..-... ... .--.

POST OFFICE MOVES
TO NEW QUARTERS

Within the next week the United
States Post Office will be moved
from the quarters occupied for
the last ten years, to the adjoin-
ing rooms, formerly occupied by
the Newark Trust and Safe Deposit
Co., on Academy street. The
change was made necessary by the
increased business of the office
which demanded larger quarters
for the postmaster and staff of as
sistants. The suite in the Opera
House building to which the
move will be made has been rem
ovated and changed in a number Of
details to suit the needs Of the new
office. 1t is completely equipped
with the latest and most approved
post office furnishings, all owned
by Newark Opera House Co., and
leased to the government. The only
piece of furniture to be removed
from old office is the safe. Every
thing in evidence is new and design
ed for greater efficiency on the
part Of the employees Of the office.
The new office contains 1740 so.
it. of floor space as contrasted with
S44 in the old quarters. The cab
met containing the boxes is 80 feet
in length, an increase Of II feet
over the old one. Previously there
were 207 private boxes at the dis
pOsal of the public. The new Of
fee supplies boxes for 462 sub
scribers. Instead of the old letter
ed combination lock which must be
turned off every time it is closed,
the cabinet is fitted with a new
keyless automatic lock box which
locks itself when closed. This en-
tire equipment was purchased
from the Federal Equipment Co. Of
Carlisle, Pa, which supplies the
furnishings for all federal build
ings. Mr.. Plummer, post-office in
spector for this district, has an
nounced the new office the finest
equipped on the peninsula, outside
of a federal building.
The lobby, for the use Of the pub
lie, has been made attractive by a
combination of dark green felt
paper and white paints. A new floor
the work of the American Artific-
ial Marble Co, adds largely to the
general attractiveness of the build

Preparations At College Farm

The plans for the International
Egg Laying Competition which
will begin at the College Farm on
November ] under the auspices of
Delaware College, in cooperation
with the State Board of Agricult-
ure and the Philadelphia North

and also wire and post for fencing
have been ordered. Ground has
been plowed TO prepare suitable
range for the hens, and the old ice
house on the farm is being made
into an office and egg room. The
number Of entries for this contest
is already large, and it is probably
that some new records in egg-pro-
duction will be established during
the coming year A large sign
board advertising the Egg Laying
Competition has been erected near
the site of the poultry yards.

economical manner of getting the
maximum amount of working eff

This lecture, together with PROBES
sor Shorts lecture on "Good Roads
pnd the Farmer" should prove OF
great value to the practical and up
f. 1oto formers of the State. The
mechanical engineering depart,
- - WAY he said in this connec-
hon, will be glad to answer any
questions in regard to farm ma,
chinery.

N'LLhD AP POST OF DUTY
Passengers In Peril

With his hand on the throttle of
the 4.10 a. m. passenger train on
the Pennsylvania Railroad from
Baltimore to Philadelphia, Benja-
min Redmiles, the engineer was
swept out of his cab and instantly
killed yesterday morning when the
train "sideswiped a derailed
freight car near Orangeville.
With half of the cab torn away
and the engineer dead, the train,
running slowly, went on for sew
eral hundred feet before the fire
man could climb over to the throt-
tie and cut off the steam.
There were only a few passen-
gers on the train, most of whom
were asleep and did not know of
their peril. When the crash was
heard, followed bv the stopping of
the train, they all hurried out into
the darkness. Half of the cab had
been split away, and under its
wreckage the badly mangled body
of the engineer was found.

Women's College Notes

Any one who visited the Wom-
ms College of Delaware two Or
three weeks ago would scarcely
recognize it now. Most of the fur
niture has been placed in the dor
mitories and everything is attrac-
tive and homelike. Glasses are run
ming on schedule time. An exten-
sion course in Education, under
the direction Of Professor Mary E.
Rich, is now offered, free of charge
to teachers. This class is to meet
on Saturday mornings once
month, at II CLOCK, directly after
DR.. Sypherd s extension course in
English Composition. Professor
Rich will be glad to hear from any
one who desires to enter this class.
Several additional gifts have
been received by the College dur
ing the past week. Among thse
gifts are beautiful copy Of the
"Aurora," given by Mrs. Samuel
Chiles Mitchell; two large mahog-
any chairs for the entrance hall,
given by Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. War
ner, Jr., of Wilmington; walnut
triple bookcase, Persian carved
and inlaid cabinet, two large franz
ed engravings, a bronze statuette OF
"Diana Goddess of Hunting, !"
with pedestal, and some fine speci-
mems Of japanese pottery and
American Indian, Mexican, Alas
kan, and Italian bric-a-brac.
The first Friday reception OF the
series to be given throughout the
year by Dean Robinson, the faculty
and the students of the Women s
College, was held in the RECEPTION
room of Residence Hall on after
noon and evening Of September 20.
Visitors were present from Will
mington and other parts OF the
State, in addition to friends of the
students from Newark. Judging
from the success of this first recep-
ton, it is altogether likely that the
ensuing receptions will prove to be
an interesting and pleasant fea-
ture of the student life of the new
college.

Urge Purchase Of Canal

Governor Miller last week at
tended the Inland Waterways Con-
vention held on the Hudson in
New York State. Before adjourn
ing the convention passed a resolu-
ton demanding the purchase and
improvement of the Chesapeake &
Delaware canal, the cutting OF a
canal across New Jersey, and the
improvement Of the upper Hudson
in order to extend navigation above
Troy. This latter resolution was
"doing something" for the neigh
borhood in which the convention
was held. The Association desires
that the Delaware project shall be
the next to be taken care OF, and
had it not been for the outbreak OF
the war in Europe, no doubt the
early purchase of the canal would
have been assured.
