Newark Dog Among
The Winners

"Piccadill," sable and white male
collie belonging to J. G. Longfellow,
of Newark, was shown for the first
time at the 9Th annual exhibition Of
the Interstate Collie Club on Saturday
last. The exhibition was held at the
Bingham House, Philadelphia, under
American Kennel Association rules
and proved to be the largest held by
the club.
Piccadill, in addition to winning
four special prizes and $3.50 in gold
also carried off the blue in the Novice
class and third in the championship
class, being beaten in this class by
two imported English champions. A
most gratifying feature to the owner
in the placing of the awards, was the
fact that Piccadill was placed over &
number of winners at the late New
York and Philadelphia shows. Picca
dill did not compete at any of thu
above shows.

NAVY LEAGUE CALLS
FOR VOLUNTEERS
Women Knit Articles For
Sailors

Owing to the fact that the large
appropriation recently made by
the U. S. Government for ships
and munitions, does not afford
funds to provide for the personal
needs of the sailors, the Navy
League has made a requisition
upon the various states to furnish
knitted articles, the state being re-
quested to equip sailors on the
battleShipS named for them. The
Navy League has asked Delaware,
therefore, to provide 800 sleeveless
sweaters, 800 mufflers, and 800
wristlets. The plan has the official
sanction of Secretary Daniels.
And Delaware women are busy
knitting to provide for the sailors
on board the Delaware, the Will
mington, the Macdonough, the
Eagle and the gunboat du Pont. In
time of peace the watch for sail
or (this time on guard is fifteen
minutes, but in time of war his
watch is four hours and the
sweaters and other knitted articles
are needed for protection against
the weather and the spray.
The response on the part of the
women of Delaware has been
gratifying to those in charge Of the
work. Mrs. c. B. Evans, the local
representative of the committee
reported today that all the WOO
furnished for muffiers had been
given out. Knitters are still need
ed, however, for the sweaters ant
wristlets.
All women knitting for the Rec
Cross are asked to knit 10 rows in
stead of five rows, on each shout
