WILMINGTON HOPES
TO MANUFACTURE
100000 RIFLES
Inventor Gables Brother He
HAS Something Good"
Which Is Taken to Mean
Contract for Allies.

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 7--Upon the
arrival OF Demetrus stergianopolous, the
inventor Of the military rife which bears
his name It ls expected work will be
begun In this city on nearly half a million
military rifles for the Allies, for which he
has the contract. He wrote his brother
William, who is In charge OF the small
plant OF the company in this city, some
time ago, that he had an opportunity to
secure the contract for 100000 niles, but
he has now cabled his brother, 'T have
something good" which is regarded as an
indication that he has closed contract
for a larger order than 100000. It is
understood that the number is half
million.
While the plant of the company In this
city is small II is understood that ar
rangements have been made whereby the
greater portion of the rifles will be made
at the plant of the Standard Arms Com
pany in this city, which is now being fit
ted with machinery.
The Stergianopolous company manufao-
lures repeating rifle which has met
with considerable favor abroad, especially
from tho King OF Greece. 1t has been en-
deavoring for some time to secure n site
ducements, but number of the stock
holders are Wilmlngtonians and efforts
are being made toekeep the plant in this
city. 1t will be kept here at least for a
time.
Work on the new rifles is expected to
give employment to large number of
men and is expected to result in both
the Stergianopolous Company and the
Standard Arms Company resuming bust
ness on large scale.
1t Is also stated that large order,
one for 10000 secondhand Springfield
rifles, has been placed with one concern
in this city, and that these rifles probably
will be brought here. improved in some
respects and then shipped abroad. The
agent who negotiated the purchase told
the local company that the arms were
not intended for war, but the purchaser
wanted them to drill with"
Following so close on the announcement
that the Harlan & Hollingsworth Cor
poration had obtained the contract for the
largest vessel ever built In Delaware and
that the contract for the erection of the
projectile plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Company at New Castle would be awarded
In few days, the prospect of a large
order for rifles Is taken as an indication
OF returning prosperity for Wilmington.

YOUNG FARMERS CULTIVATE
YARDS, ROOFS AND BATHTUBS
School Children Cultivate Soil for
Gain and Pleasure.

Philadelphla's school children are re-
ducing the high cost of living by grow
ing vegetables in yards on roofs, In
discarded bathtubs and on the city's
dumps, according to the annual report of
Miss Caro- Miller, supervising head of
. school garden instruction.
The report tells how every available
bit of space is being utilized by thou
sands OF embryo truckers in the produc-
tion OF almost everything that can be
grown. Accomplishments that would be
considered rare even among experienced
. farmers are credited to boys and girls.
the oldest OF whom has not yet seen his
18th birthday.
The most expert gardeners grew pea
nuts and cotton. while youngsters of
more ordinary ability had bushels of
corn, beans and potatoes to show as the
RESULT of their work. Many of the pupils
lived in homes where there are no yards
worth speaking of, but the persistent lit
tie agriculturists made use Of their roofs.
Several youngsters who were unable to
use either roof or a yard placed soil
I'm old bathtubs that had been replaced
in their homes by more modern apparatus
From this rich ground, obtained from the
vacant lots, enough produce was obtained
to feed several persons for an entire
summer.
Gardens are conducted under the aus
piees OF the Board of Education in school
yards on vacant lots and in space
donated for the use of the tiny tillers
of the soil by private philanthropists To
the many hundreds OF children who cam
not be accommodated in these gardens
instruction is provided at home by teach
ers employed by the School Board.
These young women working under the
direction OF Miss Miller, visit the homes
of the pupils periodically, teaching them
how to obtain results from materials
that do not offer brilliant promise. The
lesson OF perseverance,, Miss Miller says.
Is in no way better taught than in home
gardening.
