From what we can learn the resi-
dents seem satisfied with the plan of
Smyrna Town Council to brick Com
merce street. Some few do not warm
up to the project because OF the noise
that must necessarily come from a
solid brick roadbed, but the little or
no opposition is overcome by the fact
that such a road project will be per-
manent. There is so much traffic
over Commerce street, the only
thoroughfare between railroad and
boat. that a good strong durable street
has been a caying need for years.
Already Council has wasted thousands
of dollars on this street and nothing
to show foe it. Now the plan is for
real permanent construction and it is
meeting with hearty approval.

Colonel Harlan Cause in q letter
printed in another column. advances
many reasons why recruits should be
obtained sufficient to make a complete
regiment. If the troops go as two
battalions they are attached TO some
other regiment and the identity Of
Delaware is lost. In times of emerg-
ency, when the country calls for the
services of its citizens, Delaware. the
FIRST state in the Union. should at the
least be represented by a regiment.
Unhappily there is a feeling that
young men who have thoughts of en-
listing are holding off until the Presi-
dent calls for volunteers. The op-
portunity is now open, however. to
enlist with the militia. Those doing
so would be serving double purpose.
They would be helping to insure a
complete regiment for the state and
at the same time they would have the
satisfaction of knowing that they had
offered their services to the cause of
their country.

To Ewing the clever pitcher of
the Newark High school team
goes the honor of having pitched
the first no hit game in Delaware
for the year 1916. Ewing accom-
plished this feat against Elkton
High yesterday afternoon. AL
though he held the opponents hit
less Ewing was robbed of a shut
out by two errors in the fifth inn
ing which gave Elkton one run.
He also established a local re-
cord for strike outs by tanning II
men. He gave but one pass. The
lineup follows:

Arrangement For Inter-
scholastic Meet Complete

Final arrangements were made
at q special meeting of the Della
ware College Athletic Council
last night for the third annual
Irtor-scholastic field and track
meet to be held on Joe Frazer
Field Saturday, May 18th. Re-
rortS submitted by Coach Nc
Avov indicate that there will be a
much larger entry list this year
than there were the two previous
years.
AS usual there will be two
classes,1 and 2. Glass l is for
such schools as Wilmington High,
Wilmington Friends, Wilmington
Conference Academy, c h S r
and West Chester High, Tome In
stitute. Baltimore City College
and Baltimore Polytechnic Insti-
tute. The entry list in this class
will be much larger judging from
the present outlook than it was
last year. Last year on account
of having a dual meet on that day
fTome could send no athletes.
Coach McAvoy has received word
5frOm Tome this year that they
Twill send a complete team for all
Sthe events in Glass l. Baltimore
sPolytechnic Institute will also
send contestants in this class.
a The largest increase, however,
Swll be in Glass II. This is open
IT. all the high schools of the
Estate and those of adjoining
Estates where they do not have the
&advantage Of an athletic coach.
#Theye have been numerous quer-
Sies for information about this
SclaSs and many schools have said
Nhey will send contestants. The
Aentries will close early next
8week.
Il Many minor details were ar
Aangod by the Council last night.
|RThe visiting athletes will be well
saarcd for. In the morning there
~ be an exhibition drill by the
5oIIe@e cadet corp. At - o'clock
1unch will be served to all con
Ao~tants in the gymnasium. The
3neet will start at $50 o'clock. In
8ddit;on to the two classes in this
Aneet the annual inter-class meet
a. II also be held on this day. This
i d change from the regular Gus
4om but it has been decided by the
Council that the holding of the
Aeet early in the spring will
8rouse more interest among the
olasses than it does during Com
fh7encement week when there is
sfaturally much else to attract at
Benton.

Money

Commenting on the money situation,
1.-THE Financial Chronicle" says; in
LEGAL money circles the fear of any
substantial strain this year seems TO
have ended. Lenders for fixed maturi-
ties have named further concessions
this week in their asking rates, and the
banks and other buyers Of commercial
paper have made corresponding reouc-
lions in their discounts. No new de-
mands of Importance have come OIL the
capital market. Gold TO the amount OF
s14.OOO,O00 was received at the Assay
Office from Canada and has aided IN
producing the easier feeling to which
we have referred. An additional sum
of slO6. 900 gold was exported to Spain
A total of S3,OO0,OOO gold reached Bal
t;r,ore from the west coast of Africa
on the steamer Susquehanna, and IS
understood to have been reshipped to
Canada. This rather confirms recent
reports that a part of the Canadian
supply is Of African origin. The I'M
nression still prevails that the British
Treasury may be depended upon to use
its best efforts to keep rates down to a
reasonable basis in New York for the
sake of maintaining by this means
better grasp on the sterling exchange
e;tra+ion The season is now at its peak
for crop accommodation, but funds ap-
pear TO be ample in the interior, for the
drift of currency still favors New York.
The smallness Of the wheat crop is
likely to have a curtailing influence on
the volume of currency required for its
distribution"
