This is the reason why dyspeptics and
stomach sufferers are usually so thin cmaci-

BURGLARS ROB NEW
HOME OF JEWELRY

Robbers early last evening forced
their way into the new home OF A.
H. Morris. at No. 704 West Twenty
third street, and stole a quantity of
iewelry. At the time of the robbery,
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris we're on a visit,
and did not return home until late in
the evening.
The jewelry secured by the thieves
was valued by Mr.. Morris at about
800. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris had only
ecently moved into the house, and
had not unpacked their valuables. the
o%,.s things available being the
jewelry that was taken. The moving
of the furniture 2ato the house was
completed yesterday. but the Morris
had taken up their residence there.
Practically everything OF value Wa
hidden in the packing boxes, and the
robbers did not have time to force
their way into them.
Although many persons were in thai
neighborhood at the time OF the rob
berry. nobody who would excite anl
suspicion was noticed. II was
only a short time before the robbery
that Mr.. Morris had left his hous'
on a visit. Il is presumed that en-.
trance was made through the cellai
door from the street and the get-awa az
made through the kitchen door. UpoI

death AVOIDS MAN.
But takes HIS wife

Albert Williams. OF Philadelphia,
was being congratulated by friends
yesterday upon his escape from death
in the plant OF the dupont Powder
Company at Wilmington when he re-
ceived news that his wife had been
killed by trolley car
Williams told the story Of this
mixture OF fate at the Jefferson Hos
pital, where his wife was pronounced
dead following a trolley accident on
Arch street above 18th. The woman
was employed in a hotel at 40 North
llth street She had left the institu-
tion about 10 o'clock and appeared to
be in great haste. AS she was cross
ing Arch street. about 100 feet above
nth, a car was moving east on Arch.
Failing to hear the bell she walked
directly into its path and was crushed
beneath the front wheels. The motor
man applied the automatic fender, but
without avail.
A. motorcar was passing when the ac-
cident occurred. The chauffeur vol
unteered to take the woman TO the
hospital, and she died while on the
way.
Her husband had been employed in
Wilmington for several months He
procured employment in Philadelphia
that he might return to his wife and
quit his job at the dupont plant on
Monday night. He had been working
in the Upper Hagloy yard. where
thirty-one men lost their lives twenty
four hours after his departure.
Several friends were at his apart
ment yesterday morning felicitating
him upon his escape. You're a lucky
man" said a neighbor, as a policeman
ascended the steps 10 tell him OF the
tragedy a half square away. The
husband went TO the hospital immedi-
ately, accompanied by his friends.
When he was called upon 10 identify
the body he tainted and required medi-
cal assistance.

FORD TALKS peace,
But FAILS TO invite

Neil B. Sinclair, general secretary
Of the Chamber Of Commerce, receiv-
ed the following letter today from
Henry Ford:
Chamber of Commerce,
Wilmington, Del.
Gentlemen You will be glad to
know that, after a year and a half OF
the most devastating and exhausting
war the world has ever known, a
world wide and determined effort to
establish peace has been organized.
On Saturday, December 4, repre-
sentative citizens from all parts of
the United States of America will
sail from these shores on a Ship Of
Peace to join with representatives of
other neutral nations to take the
sturdy lads of Europe out of the vile
and degrading trenches, to stop the
murderous and destructive strife in
which they have been engaged and re-
store them once more to the comforts
of home and to their respective mis-
sions of usefulness in the mines,
mills. factories and Offices.
As the largest neutral in this crisis
the United States of America cannot
escape great responsibility even If We
wished to do so. II is fortunate, there
fore, that we can bring forward, in oui
efforts at mediation. an enviablc recor'
of peace and industry. Upon these ON
material success and the respect thai
other nations show us have been built
That is why the people of this and othe
countries granted so little credence t
the charge, recently made in some quar-
ters that our interest in the war wa
on the profit side only; that we did NO
| care how many sons of Europe wer'
manned and murdered OF how many
wives and mothers were bereaved. 81

 Teachers To Form
 An Organization

Aa Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federatlon of Labor, is urg- ing the teachers Of the-- United States to throw off the false sentiment that causes them to receive more honor than wages. and organize for better ment of their conditions He has is- sued the following statements
 ssTeachers throughout the country are reaching the conviction that they must help thennse1ves if they wish bet ter things.
 Teachers have been prevented from adopting practical methods because Of false standards and so=eaIled@ senti- mental motives. They have been told teachers receive higher pay than mere wages They have tried to keep the atmosphere and traditions of pro- fessfon' lest they lose cast with inf1u- entfaI citizens.
 Teachers must organize. The school system belongs to the people and must be adapted to their needs If the teachers organize to occupy the place in that system that is theirs y right Of service, they will infuse into it the spirit and practice of democracy
 The teacher must get in touch with the life of the whole nation Into the schools come children from all manner of homes
 ITO organize and protect and pro- mote their rights and welfare the teachers will receive the unfailing SUD- port of all organized labor
