From all Indications, the Wilmington
High Schools twenty.iourth annual field
day on next Friday afternoon at Wa
waset Park, will be the best ever. In
addition TO this event the school will
hold its first annual dual meet with
Chester High School Twenty men Of
the hest material in High School will
compose the locals, while twenty able
bodied men will come down from the
neighboring city and try their best to
clean mp the meet. .
From past performances Wilmington
is good bet. At the Delaware Col
leae Scholastic meet both teams COM
peted in the occasion and the locals had
the best. Harry Eoose came across
with the first two points by getting
second place in the shot put and beat
ing out Chester High. Joseph Far-
banks. of Wilmington, came close TO get
ting third place, but lost to the Ches-
terites by one inch. Henry Marston got
second place in the final round for the
hurdles. The Chester team did not even
qualify. In the pole vault, Harlan Pal
matory won first place and Crothers
of Chester. was fourth The same tive
men entered in the broad jump and fin
| ished as above.
Harold Crew, who made his FIRST ap
pearance of the season at the camiva
came across with first place IN the Al
] yards. In this event Chester did NO

enter because it kept the men until the
relay race. The quartet has been run
ming the mile i'm 3.3S, about 80 seconds
TO the man. From these figures spec
tacular race is expected to ensue ON next
Friday.
Since the performances at Della
ware. the Highlets have improved
considerably. AT the Reading meet
on Decoration Day. Harlan Palmatory
cleared the bar at feet inches and
went out at 9 feet inches. II can
be easily seen that Harlan will break
the schools record of feet inches
held by Goldberg in 1909. Palmatory
Jumped twenty feet at Reading, but
fell back. causing him to be disquali-
fed on the third try.
On the same day Harry Loose broke
the discus record of High School by
thirteen feet without a doubt he
will capture this event on Friday.
Craig and Crew are expected to make
an excellent showing in the short dis
tances while Sproul, who broke the
schools record at Reading, 447, Will
feature in the long distances.
The class relays will be a great
feature this year because at the trials
both teams finished in about the same
time. In the grammar school races
/ the teams are evenly matched and a
! good race is anticipated. AT present
No 2S School has leg on the cup.

Men Past Eighty Years
Drive Cadillac Cars

An indulgence in motoring that

steadier nerves and better health; and

to at least two notable examples.
These are both men who are past the

of them is physician. Jacob Huffman

S1-he celebrated his birthday anniver-
sary early in September. The car he
drives is Cadillac Eight and is the
third automobile he has owned. His
first was also a Cadillac. though 1t
had but one-eighth as many cylinders
as his new one, for 1t was produced in
1905. Mr. Huffman is an automobile
enthusiast. and he says his cars help
wonderfully in keeping him In trim.
The doctor is c. E. Wolfe, of New

There's no doubt about how the
Scripps-B Booth Co. stands on the sub
ject of price cutting.
This company has come out with
Policy announcement that is truly
gratifying in its outspoken frank
ness.
Policy is the background of prog
ress,' reads the announcement "the
basis of commercial success" And
"Scripps Booth policy stands
for continued advancement and bet
terment irrespective of price. and has
nothing in common with the present
frenzied cutting of motor car prices"
Some very pertinent opinions are
given. According to Scripps- Booth
policy, price cutting should be looked
upon as 'unsound in principle and
unfair in practice" Furthermore, and
again we quote, Spectacular an
nouncements of so-called new yearly
models at greatly reduced prices have
been used as an unnatural means to
stimulate sales. That this results in
an immediate and unwarranted de-
probation in the market value of
every owners car at the time the
new announcements are made is
easily seen. Such cars become at
once out of date
There is a convincing punch" in
this statement, Master products can
not be rushed up to date in a few
weeks and made perfect by loud an
nouncements.'
The Scripps-Boo car is featured
and everywhere recognized as a mas
ter product. That its maker will
never resort to price-cutting to slim
ulate demand may be gathered from
the following extract:
THE Scripps-Bo Company be-
lieves that the policy which will best
protect the interests of Scripps- Booth
owners is the policy that will best
maintain the reputation of Scripps-
Booth cars. To such a policy will
the Scripps-Booth Company strictly
adhere. Its object is to produce the
smartest looking and easiest riding
roadster it is possible to build. which
shall be efficient in construction and
perfect in operation-a pride alike to
those who buy the car and those who
sell it.
I'VE will take no part in the fren-
zied slashing of prices now in vogue,
believing it unsound in principle and
unfair in practice. We refuse to
impair the quality for 1916; we strive
conscientiously to improve it; we
cannot, therefore, reduce the price.
''Scripps- Booth prices always will
be consistent with the standard quail
ity which this firm insists upon as it's
foundation of growth.
