COMMITTEE ASKS
FOR MORE HOMES

eighth annual session or the National
Grange convention, which opens in
Wilmington next Tuesday with a
public reception by the Chamber Of
Commerce, will be the largest con-
vention the National Grange has
ever held. Already the hotels and
boarding houses are considerably
crowded and the Chamber Of Com
mcrce is exerting every influence to
get more living accommodations for
the guests. Mr.. Sinclair this morn
ing stated to a reporter OF THE
EVENING JOURNAL that in reply to
the advertisements now being run IN
all of the Wilmington newspapers,
rooms are being registered at the
rate of rs to 100 per day and up to
the present only 423 rooms had been
registered.
Assuming that expectations are
realized and that $500 or 5000 visit
ors attend the convention each day,
the rooming accommodations so TAR
offered will not be adequate by any
means. The Chamber of Commerce,
therefore, desires to call particular
attention to its needs In this respect
and all persons having a spare room
which they can conveniently arrange
to let are being urgently requested
to register It with the Chamber OIL
Commerce.
The convention itself promises TO
he an excellent affair. The executive
committee of the Delaware State
Grange and the officials and commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce are
untiring in their efforts to make sur
ficient and satisfactory convention
arrangements. Owing to the conflict
in dates, The Playhouse, which had
been previously promised by Mr..
Brady for the comforting Of the sew
enth degree on Friday, November 49,
has been bought in its entirety by the
Chamber of Commerce. The Assem-
bly Hall, located on the eleventh floor,
will be beautifully decorated in Po-
mona colors, pink and green, as also
will the lobby of the hotel where the
registration and information bureau
will be located. The Chamber of
Commerce is making elaborate plans
to guide the Grange visitors to their
boarding places and ample assistance
will be rendered by students of Dela-
ware College in the information
bureau. The officers and delegates Of
the National Grange itself, which is
composed of two delegates from each
