ELECTION IN
WILD WEST DAYS
tic Scene In Serial
Drama
Realistic

An old-time election of wild west
days, conducted by a vigilance
committee and where rifles do most
of the talking, is staged in the
tenth episode Of "The Fighting
Trail" Greater Vitagraph's Won
derfully realistic serial of adven-
ture and the great outdoors, which
will be the attraction in the New
ark Opera House on Thursday,
November 10Th. This smashing
picture, whose scenes are laid in
the wilds of the Sierras in South
ern California, centers in a death
struggle for a mine.
Backed by vigilants and all de-
cent folks in the camp, the owners
force a special election for sheriff
and put up Square Deal Hogan
who is all his name implies. The
polls are opened and there comes
a scene tense with narrowing pos
sibilities when the bandit gang
rifles in hand, dash down the
crowded street and from their sad
dies demand the right to vote.

Blue Hen of 1919
Class To Appear Soon

The 1919 Blue Hen will prob
ably appear earlier than is Gus
tomary for the annual to be pub
lished. The present board has
several new ideas which will make
this years book stand in the front
rank among Blue Hens. Hand
some engravings with several
pages devoted to college views will
feature the book.
The present board will place a
COPY of the Blue Hen in every high
school on the Delmarvia Peninsula
in order to interest the students in
the College and inspire in them a
desire for higher education. This
will be of immeasurable value to
the educational interests of the
State and will be an excellent ad
vertisement for the College as ne
catalogue will be issued this year
The book will not be a great dea
! different from previous publica
tions except that it will have
flexible binding, contain matte;
which will better depict the Col
lege, its advantages and purposes
and yet contain probably les
pages than any other Blue Her
: "Condensation and Quality" is III
motto of the board.

Seniors Hold Dance

On Friday evening, November
%, the Seniors of Delaware Col
lege held a very successful dance.
This affair was the first of its kind
to be given by the Senior Glass and
its high success prophesies more
of them for the future. The dance
was one of the most enjoyable
given this year, and it showed the
spirit of the Glass of 1918, in that
class dance was an original idea
for Delaware. The hall was not
decorated, but roaring fire in the
fireplace added much cheer to the
gathering. The music, which was
procured by Bob" Sunlwalt, was
of the highest order and deserves
great credit for the high class of
music furnished. In keeping with
the call of the times refreshments
were not served, but the whole
group repaired to Coverdale's dur
ing intermission. The floor was in
excellent condition and became
better as the flying feet ground in
the wax. There were more thar
twenty couples present, represent
ing the Senior Glass. Among the
faculty members present were
Dean and Mrs. Alan R. Cullimore
Prof. and Mrs. c. A. Short, Prof
z. E. Srager, Miss Bigelow of th'

The Place of The Colleges

In a free land the schools and
colleges are the clear eyes, the
keen ears, the prophetic voices of
the people. In them are trained
the arms and brains of the people.
In the hour of great need, Unlvef-
stiles must not be silent. In try
ing days the men and women of
the Universities should fearlessly
speak and helpfully act.
The clearest fact connected with
our entrance into the world war is
that we used our utmost endeavors
to keep out of war. We entered
the conflict when it became certain
that the existence of our country
was endangered. AS the great war
went on, our nation perceived that
foe to the growth of human lib
ertv had arisen-a foe which for
many years had prepared for the
overthrow of representative gov
ernments-a foe which utterly re-
pudiates the doctrine that every
person is entitled to "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness"-a
foe which has deceived and en-
shared a sound people, essentially
liberty-loving, into fighting its bat
tles-a foe which had laid its plans
to attack our own institutions fol
the promotion of human happiness,
built at the cost of the blood of
our fathers.
We accept the responsibility that
destiny has placed upon us. Thi:
land. in which the largest human
: liberty has been won and develop
ed, must be preserved, that it:
citizens may become even freer
); and that, by cur example, all ma
: tions may gather the courage t.
:. free themselves from tyranny an
!, oppression.
Il There is no hate in our fghtin
except the hate of injustice ant
slavery. There is no lust for cor
quest in our warfare, but only
living hope that we may help il
C bringing to all people equal right!
il" equal opportunities. and happie
s lives. We aim, moreover, to max
Il impossible the repetition of thi
o wanton, cruel, and barbarous wal
l. fare-the blacklist plot on the his
tory of civilization.-Dr. John A
II Widtsoe, President University
If Utah.

Extensive Foods Need Not
Be Use

The preparation of luncheons
which will fill the needs of the
child's body does not mean the use
of more expensive foods or the ex-
penditure of greater effort, the
specialists point out. In many
cases both expense and work will
be lessened. What is needed for
the preparation of more satisfact-
ory luncheons is merely that pa
rents and "big sisters" or whoever
fills the lunch box, shall inform
themselves of certain facts in re-
gard to the choice and combina-
tion of foods. The need in many
cases is for neither more nor less
food but for the representation OF
needed food groups. The neces'

SCHOOL LUNCHES
In Recent Bulletin Issued By

culture

Don't let the school lunch be
merely something which will fill
the lunch box in the morning and
be only sop to stay the kiddies' ap-
petites from noon until night.
Make it a real contribution to the
food which the children require to

bodies and active brains-to salts
fy their appetites and keep them
in health.
These are the suggestions OF

FIRE GREATEST ROBBER.
Keeps M0rtals Sweating TO Produce
Food for Hungry Flames.

The burning up Of goods or wealth
rObs the human race of much OF It's
treasure. 1t turns just so much hu-
man energy, toll and sweat into moth
ingness. If all the wealth in the
world were burned up nobody would
have anything. If half the wealth
were burned up everybody would be
half as we'll off as before. Yet many
people do not realize that they help
sustain the loss in every fire that de-
stroys property.
Many people do not realize that
thew have sustained definite fire
loss at the end of every year whether
or not any of their individual prop
erty has been destroyed by fire, DUR
ing that time, and regardless of the
question of insurance. But such is
the case as every thoughtful person
can figure out for himself Every
body pays the fire tax which is tackled
on to the high cost of living.
Fire is the greatest enemy OF hu-
man wealth. Pirates and robbers take
away wealth but spend it again. 1t
is not lost to the race, but merely 10
the owner. Fire takes away from the
owner, from the human race and from
the face of the earth 1t is wiped
out forever.
