day by the first public announcement
that through the interest OF Mrs.
Alfred D. Warner, Sr.. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierre S. dupont have given $4,000
to the Teachers Retirement Fund Of
the Wilmington public schools. This
Is the first recognition upon a large
scale Of the services Of the teachers
and of their importance and value to
the community, and the gift is signif-
icant quite as much on that account
as for what il means financially 20 the
strengthening Of the fund.
The Teachers Retirement Fund
was organized in May 1911. and
since that time its stability and per-
manency have been a matter OF per-
sonal concern to every teacher. This
splendid gift brings the fund up TO
s62,7O0, and gives It a decided for
ward trend toward the goal OF $780,
900 which will be necessary 70 as

date, participate in the benefits Of the
fund.
OF the sum. s52.7OO at present in
vested. s41,2OO is in the general fund
and Sl15OO in the special fund. The
latter. with the exception of $1,000
represents the special efforts OF the
teachers as individuals or by schools
during the past seven years. To 40
complish this has required many
hours Of arduous work and placed
upon the teachers responsibility

PAGEANT thrills.
"Dress-Up Week" Parade
Sends City'S Patriotism TO
High Mark
500 AUTOS IN LINE
BUSINESS MEN MARCH

With thousands OF people crowd
ing the streets through which It
passed, the 'Dress-uD Week" parade
and the Liberty Loan demonstration
last night proved to be the biggest
and most spectacular affair this city
has seen since the last Old Home
Week celebration. All Wilmington
Il scanned, had turned out TO wintess
the pageant and they were rewarded
for heir long wait for the parade TO
pass for when it did arrive II was
found TO be one OF the biggest held
in this city for sometime.
Market street was the mecca Tor
most OF the residents and the CROWDS
there were so dense that they over
flowed the sidewalks into the street,
making foot traffic next TO impossible
and greatly impeding trolley and va-
hicular traffic. The police had their
hands full keeping the thousands of
people in place and that someone was
not hurt by the cars or passing auto
mobiles was regarded as almost
miraculous. But there were no acci-
dents OF a serious nature during the
evening and nothing occurred to mar
the most unique celebration ever wit
messed in this city.
The parade was a success from
every standpoint and It reflected
much credit upon the men who had
charge of it and those who wer,
charged with the responsibility o
making the arrangements. There wa,
some delay in getting Il started, bu
this was unavoidable and the crowd
did not become impatient while wait
ing for It 10 appear.
