Good Work of American Chemist.

Prior to August, 1914, ichthyol, an
.asphaltic material employed as an an
t1septic medicament, was imported
from Europe. 1t is derived from a
bituminous rock, filled with fossil fish,
that is found in the Austrian Tyrol,

When he came to himself he told us

twisted out of shape that nobody could
possibly look as he did and live longer.

"TOWN MANAGER" SYSTEM
BEING URGED FOR NEWARK
MAYOR HOSSINGER BELIEVES 1T
BEST FOR TOWN GOVERNMENT
In the Case of Newark Man Gould be
EMPLOYED for 1000 Who Would
Look After All Interests Of Town

The suggestion made by Mayor
Joseph Fl. Hossinger, at a Community
meeting held in Newark. Tuesday of
last week, that Newark engage town
manager is causing much favorable
comment not only in Newark but in
towns of similar conditions and popula-
tion thru the state. At the same
meeting DR.. Samuel C. Mitchell, presi-
dent of Delaware College, suggested
that the town employ community
nurse to visit the homes where the
employment of a trained nurse could
not be afforded. de thought this
could be done for $1,000 a year.
Both suggestions met with hearty ap-
proval. Mayor Hossinger said that
while the idea was not original with
him, he had studied the situation and
felt sure town manager would be of
great benefit to the town. He said:
1--WE now have invested in our streets,
water works, electric plant. sewage
system. town buildings and town equip
ment upwards of 5000, 900. While
l am not depreciating the efforts of
the Council, or the Sewer Commission.
or any of our public officials, feel
the town has gotten to a place where
a town manager is badly needed. The
public official who does not receive
any remuneration for his services
looks after his affairs first and the
affairs of the town afterwards, and it
seems to me with that 5000, 900 in
vested a town could we'll afford to
employ a manager whose duty it shall |
be to look after our public works. q"
Mr.. Hossinger believes such a man
could be found for from $1,000 to
81. 600 year. He said he had talked
with members of Council and the
Sewer Commissioners who approved
the plan. Mayor Hossinger presided
at the meeting and an interesting ad-
dress was made by Miss Jessie Field.
who is well known for her rural com
munity work Miss Field cnngratu-

NoiseIess Car wheaIs

A noiseless car wheel has been do

asserted to have a number Of impor-
tant advantages over the old-fashioned
wheel. 1t consists of two wheels, one
within the other, and separated from
each other by means of a rubber fill

THE CLIQUE

What is the clique? 'Tis body of men
Who attend every meeting-not just
now aud then:
Who don't miss a meeting unless they
are sick
These are the men tha. the crouch
calls the clique.
Who don'f make farce OF that sacred
word brother;
Wto believe in the motto-it's Help
one another"
Who never resort to dishonest trick
These are the men that some men call
the clique.
The men who are seldom behind in
their dues,
And who from the meetings do not
carry news;
Who attend to heir duties and visit
the sick
These are the men that the crank calls
the clique.
We should be Proud OF members like
these.
They can call them the clique or what
ever they please.
They never attempt any duty TO dodge !:
These are the clique that run most
every lodge.
But there are come people that always
find fault.
And most OF this kind are not worth
their salt
They like TO start trouble, but never
viii stick;
They like TO put all the work onto the
