How Wife Can Please Hubby.

The wise woman is she who keeps
neat and trim in dress, dainty in per-
son, and alert and poised in mind, that
in so doing she may favorably stand
comparison with the business women
with whom her husband comes in con-
tact.
Most men, even those we'll past mid
die age, place high value upon ex-
ternals, and the woman who assumes
that she can hold a mans love indefi-
nitely, regardless Of her personal ap-
pearance, is, to my mind, making a
grave mistake.
More than one wife, serene in the
knowledge of her husbands loyalty,
fails to realize that That same loyalty
is due more to the mans sense of duty
and conscientious self-oontrol than to
the fact that his wife possesses the
qualities which actually hold him true
to her in spirit as we'll as in deed

MEANING OF HORSEPOWER
Mistake to Think II Is the Greatest
Momentary Strength Of the
Animal.

To lift $50 pounds one foot in one
second requires what is known as one
horsepower. Similarly, horsepower
Is able to raise twice that weight one
foot in twice the time, or one-half
foot in just that time. Moreover, 1t
can raise half $50 pounds one foot
In half a second, or two feet in a
second, and so on. Therefore when
We lift one-fourth of that weight, 1919
pounds, four feet in one second, we
are exerting a horsepower
Accordingly, when a person who
weighs 1879 pounds runs upstairs at
the rate of four feet second, he is
exerting the equivalent OF horse
power. For a man weighing twice
that much, 275 pounds, it would be
necessary to climb at the rate of only
two feet a second to exert a horse
power. 1t is possible TO do much
more.
AS a matter of fact, horse often
exerts many times horsepower. The
average horse can draw a wagon up a
hill where a ten-horse-power engine
with the same load would fail A
horsepower does not represent the
greatest momentary strength Of the
average horse, but is measure of
the power which he can exert con-
tinuously.

NO LIFE Is WASTED.
No life is wasted in the great

1t is said that when the first Chinese
entered California the Indians were
very curious about them. A disputs
arose among some Of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indiana
The Indians decided to apply the water
test One day party Of Indians met
a party of Cinnamon approaching a lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dams, too, had filed across and, meet
ing the Cinnamon in midstream, push
ed two OF them into the angry, SPOON
ing current below. The test was con-
elusive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

Nervous Eneruy.

In every individual, at given time,
there is a limited amount Of potential
energy stored up in the cells OF the
brain. This function seems to rest
in the chromatin granules of the nerve
cells, and it has been shown repeat
eddy that a liberation Of nervous en-
ergy, whether in response to a
psychic or sensory stimulus, results
in a physiological degeneration OF
the chromatin granules, and conse-
quently the cells themselves. Obvi-
ously, a prolonged discharge OF nerv-
Gus energy diminishes by so much
the amount left in the brain cells.
Furthermore, stimuli Of sufficient
number, intensity or duration may
cause exhaustion and death.

Baynard, Banks And Bryan
Plan Reopening

A fire which threatened to de-
stroy the big jewelry store of Bay
nard, Banks & Bryan, Fifth and
Market streets, Wilmington, while
infjcting serious damage last Fri

business by any means, for even
while a hundred or more fremen
fought the flames the heads of the
firm made plans to repair the dam
age and reopen Wednesday morn
ing Of this week. AS a result of
this grim determination in the face

'AG" PLAY
GREAT SUCCESS
Cast Shows Result Of Exper-
ience Of Last Year

Training and Experience were
without doubt the dominant fea-
lures of the play given by the Ag-
ricultural Club at the Opera
House on Friday evening. First
nights are always trying especial
ly to amateurs. But the perform
ance on Friday evening under the
stage management of Mrs. Her.
man Tyson did not have these
crude touches so usual to amateur
theatricals. Several of the cast
this year were under Mrs. Tyson's
training last season, the results of
which were clearly demonstrated.
So pronounced was this that the
suggestion is again made for a
permanent Play Club for Newark.
Looking for Mary Jane" is a
roaring comedy, which kept the
smiles on the faces of the audience
from the rise to the fall of the cur
tain. Miss Olive Heiser, the fetch
ing young clearinghouse mis-
tress; Miss Katharine Bowen, the
beautiful prima donna; Miss Dora
Law, the fascinating widow. and
Miss Edna Chalmers, the spunky
little maid, all took their parts
in a professional amer;
Mr.. Tracy Campbell, class IT, as
the crazed composer; Mr.. A. B.
Thomas IT, the excitable husband
and manager for the prima donna;
Messrs, J. E. Edgar IT, J. F.
Davis '18, H. w. Savin '18, as the
young men travelling upon
Father" N. w. Taylor '18; G. S.
Holland '18, as the Chinaman.
and Marvel Wilson '18, as the ex-
pressman, portrayed their parts
admirably.
Too much credit cannot be given
the Agricultural Club for their
splendid production. Mrs. Tyson,
and the several ladies in the cast,
were presented with flowers, by
members of the Club.
]. A. Hopkins '18, as business
manager, carried the play to sue
cessful financial conclusion. J. H.
Salevan '16, acted as stage mana
ger, assisted by G.. 0. Smith '16.
