ed transformation from religious

ty. is no more miraculous than the
complete regeneration and transfor-
nation Of Leipsic in central Kent
county. the result OF the revival wave
which has swept over Delaware,
mainly from the influence Of the Billy

For many years Leipsio has expert
enced a low tide OF spirituality, nelth-

With a population of possibly 300
people. less than half were active

see nearly as many persons on the
street corners. in their homes, or

on Sundays are both churches we'll

The usual evening store crowd OF
loafers and gosslpers Is now changed
into some sort OF a meeting at the
church or a cottage prayer meeting
where the Billy Sunday hymns ar,

MONEY ORDERS FREE
TO WAR PRISONERS
Wilmington With European
Soldier Relatives
Affected
LAY-OFF FOR
THE JANITORS

Wilmingtonians who have been
sending money to relatives and
friends in the prison camps of any
of the belligerent countries, may
hereafter secure their money orders
without payment of the money order
fee, according to a ruling of the
postoffice department, issued several
days ago. Quite a number OF Will
mingtonians, who have relatives en-
listed in the several armies OF the
countries at war, have been sending
substantial sums of money through
the local postofiice by money order
since the war started. Following is
the substance of an order contained
In the daily bulletin received by Post
master English several days ago.
with the view of ameliorating the
conditions Of prisoners Of war. me
Hague convention, which was sub
scribed to by the United STATES and by
all the European nations now engaged
in hostilities. contained a provision
IL at money orders drawn in favor OF
or RENTED by prisoners of war shail
be excepted from any charge or fee.
If a resident of the United States ap-
plies for a money order. payable to a
prisoner of war in any of the coun-
tries concerned in the present con-
fict. the applicant is emitted TO an
order for the full amount deposited at
the postoffice without the customary
deduction for fees"
Although the war in Europe has
been in progress for nine months, the
attention of the postofiice department
never before has been called TO this
provision in The Hague convention.
The corps Of janitors and chore
women at the local federal building,
will be given an eight days vacation,
without pay, during the months OF
Nav and June. orders 10 this eftect
were received here several days ago.
The retrenchment is made necessary
through inadequate appropriations,
due to the increasing number of fed
eral buildings throughout the coun'
try. The time-off will be taken prob
ably in one-half or day periods.
Acting Secretary Newton, of the
treasury, has notified the officials IN
charge of the 500 federal buildings
throughout the country that every
member of the custodian stan musi
be laid off for eight days before
July 1, because Congress did not ap-
propriate the full amount for the pay
rolls. More than 1900 employees will
be affected. BY this means, which af
fects all such help in government
buildings throughout the country, thu
treasury department hopes to saw
100000.
The several ianitors have been un
usually busy about the federal build
ing and surroundings the past severa
weeks. in putting everything in shap'
for the summer season.
A supply of the Panama-Pacific in
ternational postage stamps was re
ceived and put on sale at the loca
Office this afternoon. The stamps re
ceived are of the one, two, five ant
10-cent denominations. The supply !
limited and the stamps will only b.
sold when specified. The following
is the colors and designs on the sew
eral denominations:

Attractions at The Theatres

selects any but the best There ia
never any desire on his part TO be the
whole show. He does his best and his
best has placed him at the head of his
profession, but he wants to be sur
rounded by actors of ability who de-
vote the same care and attention to
their parts that the star does 10 his.
The consequence is that the public not
only sees the foremost actor of his
time. but sees him surrounded by a
company which is always excellent
and with a scenic equipment and an
attention to detail which is as perfect
as stage craft can make il.
Wilmington is decidedly fortunate
in being able, at the close of the the
