THROUGH OUR TEARS-A CHILD
AT PLAY

The rest is silence"-Dancing,
laughing, running at play, she
rushed into the Unknown. Gates
of Death, suddenly ajar, did not
daunt her. She swept gaily in.
Without pain, without fear, care
free, thoughtfree, she entered the
Garden of The Future,-laughing,
playing.
The death of little Helen Smith
its shock of suddeness caused
the heart of Newark to skip its
beat. A glance, grasp of the
hand, our hearts sympathy,-no
word can relieve or explain. Yet
our all is mingled with our tears.
Youth, parents. playmates, envir-
onment, would all, in our judg-
ment, beckon her stay. Thus
Finite judgment fails Infinite Wis
dom. Nothing has more touched
the better side of this Community
nature than this sad accident. Our
sympathy is but feebly expressed
nor can the friends find words to
impress. To the parents, friends,
is given our strength.
No blame attaches. An Acct
dent-that is all that human in
depreciation can give. Nor can we
solve the Mystery. In our grief,
smiling through our tears, see!
She entered Eternity, laughing.
She grasped the hand of Death,
unafraid, while running at play.

OTHER FOLKS
The Way They are Meeting
The National Crisis

Delaware City has a thriving
Home Guard Company, organized
within the last month. H. P. Scott,
a resident of the Delaware City
section, has offered within the last
week to furnish equipment to the
value of $4,000. William M. House
holder, Mayor of the town, is a
member of the company. Tuesday
and Friday evenings are drill
nights at headquarters in Della
ware City; from two to four, every
Saturday afternoon, the company
drills under a regular army officer
at the adjoining fort. The COM
pany roster numbers seventy men.
Mayor Householder is also active
in a campaign to increase produc-
ton on the farms of the neighbor-
hood.
A negro resident of Harrington,
Delaware, has this week offered
the services of one hundred negro
men, at General Understands
headquarters in Wilmington. AL
though it is probable that at this
time it will be deemed advisable
to suggest that these men "enlist
on the FARMS" the spirit of the
colored population of that locality
challenges the respect Of all.

tion of Dover has named COM

tables, can their own fruit and
vegetables, prevent waste in their
homes and give impulse and en-
thusiasm to the men of the land
If they do this, they will be doing
a good so per cent of the work OF
fighting the war to a finish
The Dover committee has inaug
urated a campaign to make it pop

How about the Country Club
blowing up the Golf Links, plant
ing Soup-Beans and potatoes and
tilling the Crop with the labor at

It's practical. Both for physical

Further it's a healthy expression
of good citizenship. Nor is it un-

the Country are doing this very
thing.
We look to our Newark members
to lead in this movement.

WHAT! NO POCKETS?
Mems Styles for 1918 Arranged to
Conserve Wool Supply.

Chicago. July 5-The fifteenth an
nual convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of Clothing Designers opened
here today for a three-days session.
The first days program included
business meeting, addresses and din
ner in the evening.
Early forecasts of mems styles for
the ensuing year show that suits will
again follow the scant English styles
with sharp defining lines, which
accent the thinness of the thin men
and the stoutness of the stout. 1t is
said that the designers also will rec
cmmend that the 1918 suits be with
out belts, cuffs and pockets. Scarcity
of wool is said to be responsible for
these decided changes. In the opinion
of early arrivals, the cost of clothing
will rise nearly or quite 40 per cent
next spring, despite the scantiness of
suits.
The trench STYLE overcoats will
not be encouraged by the designers
it is said. and those who desire mill
tary appearing clothes will have to go
to the trenches to get them, if the suit
makers decree is final.
Conservation of cloth and Con-
servation of WOOL will be among the
subjects discussed.
American men may be wearing
knickerbockers this winter and kilties
next summer.
The advisa bility of so designing
mems garments was discussed here to-
day by the congress of the national
association of clothing designers, who
declare clothes must be made to con-
form with the short wool crop.

THE minute the local boards are

official announcement from Provost
Marshal General Crowder's office to-
day.
General Crowder has urgently in
sisted that the boards finish their la
bors before Saturday.
Message to Every Board.
He emphasized that Every day lost
now means a day lost in organization
of the armies of the United States"
In message to every board General
Crowder declared it is an imperative
national necessity that the serialIy
numbered copies of the cards be in
eral and another copy be mailed to
Washington before Saturday.
THE first test of the efficiency of
the great national war organization on
which you are an important member
comes now" the messages read. This
is the most important element in the
conduct of a war. 1t is plain to see
how great is the nations dependence
on each particular man in whom the
president has expressed his confidence
by appointment to a local board. 1t
would be difficult to overestimate the
value to the nation of the thing you
are here called upon to do or the i'm
portance that it be done within the
limit herein Indicated"
In spite of the calls of haste. off
Gals believe that few days may be
lost in filling vacancies caused by
designations from the boards.
Excuses Not Tolerated.
Any disposition to shirk the duties
without valid excuse for resignation
will not be tolerated.
Department officials today point
out under the law such members can
be forced to serve. EMISSIONS consti-
tute a punishable misdemeanor So
far the number of designations is far
from alarming.
Altho it is still held in secret the
method of drawing the key" num-
bers of the draft is prac.i cally COM
plete today. In few days il will be
explained in another set of regula-
lions.

This new battle occurred between

Two torpedoes were discharged, both
