AUTOMOBILE SHOW
A HUGE SUCCESS
WilmingtonianS Interested
in Philadelphia'S Big
Motor Car Exhibit
MANAGERS EXPECT
LARGE ATTENDANCE

No automobile show ever held in
Philadelphia met with the success at
the very start as the one now being
held in that city. The big show
opened in the Metropolitan Building
on Saturday night There was a
big crowd waiting at the doors and
the streets for squares were black
with motor cars containing hundreds
of first nightcrs The first night was
a pronounced success.
To the man who has never had the
motoring fever it seems impossible
that crowds of people would go just
to look over a lot of motor vehicles
that they can see at any time. But
the motorist knows why he goes TO
the show as often as possible. It's
the opportunity of the year to wit
ness what to him or her is the great
est event of the whole IL months
when. at The expense of few hours,
he can inspect the most wonderful
collection of self-propelled vehicles,
the designing and building of which
gives employment TO many thou
sands. involves millions of capital
and is let by host of the greatest
artistic and mechanical minds in
the world.
AS the miniature is to the world
Of art so is Philadelphia's show to
the big oxpositions at New York and
Chicago with their huge canyases-
a concentration of genius and art in
limited space, but truly an exhibition
of luxury and utility. worthy of the
territory from which it draws its
patronage.

STATE OF ANARCHY

Troops of Various Nations Are Doing
 as They Please.


 Washington, Nov. 23.-Despatches of a semi official nature received in Washington indicate that practically a state of anarchy exists in Persia. Ac- cording to the reports, troops of vari- ous nations are doing as they please in certain sections, the government being powerless to curb their actions. Many government officials are said to have f1ed from the areas in which the most serious conditions prevail
 The state department in announcing today that approval had been given the action of American Minister Caldwell in taking charge of the diplomatic in terests of Germany and Turkey in Persia, said that the minister had taken the step on his own initiative. It was pointed out that Persia, being neutral country, the minister was we'll within his powers in agreeing to look after the German and Turkish interests when the regular represent atives informed him they were about to leave the country and requested him to do so.

As these pupils have regular high school work of an amount equivalent to that of those who elect the other courses, and have, in addi- tion home study to prepare for these lessons, the question may be raised whether they are not being over-bur- dened.
 The instructor in the machine shop at the trade school states that they appear tired, and he believes they could do better in his work if so much other work were not demanded of them. On the other hand, the con- sistently high grades in their regular high school studies of most of those who are taking this course speaks well for the interest elicited by the work.
 The total enrolment in the classes in sewing and cooking is 102. showing that a large proportion of the girls are availing themselves of the training in these useful subjects. Singing and gymnastics are also taught, there be- ing special teachers for these sub jects.
 I recommend the approval of the Putnam High school.
