SPELLING NOT WEAK POINT
OF Gas CO. WORKERS

Spelling is not a weak point with
the employees OF the Wilmington Gas
Company. Judging from the excellent
work along that line they did ct the
meeting OF the Gas Study Club last
night.
A spelling contest was part OF the
evenings program, words being Sc
lected which pertained 10 the gas in
dustry principally, and the contest
had to be called off after 400 or 500
words had been announced because
no more words in that particular
class could be thought OF and the
pupils spelled so few incorrectly.
Charles Baxter. a New York engi-
neer, was present at the meeting
and gave an interesting talk on Gas
Auxiliary Heating" Questions per-
tanning to the gas business were
discussed by the members and the
meeting was an instructive one.

for forty days. The season OF sack
cloth and ashes is rIgidIy observed by
many denominations. In the Catho-
Tic churches the regulations Of fast
ing and abstinence from flesh meats
are especially rigorous. today being a
fast day.
In all the churches OF this faith
ashes made from burned palms were
blessed at one OF the morning masses
and distributed to the members to be
placed in the form of cross on the
foreheads of those attending the
morning and night services. This is
a reminder that man is made OF dust
and to dust will return. During Lent

lfages will be discouraged. Absti-
nence from places OF amusement is
advocated.
There will be a series of special
services in Protestant Episcopal and

WASHINGTON. Feb 2i.--President
Wilson has practically determined to
address tho present session OF Con
gross on the German-American stu
alton. probably late next week.
Unless tho situation takes a vastly
more critical turn, the Presidents ap.
pearanoe before a joint session will
be merely to ask for broad powers
ito protect American rights" after
Congress adiourns and not to ask q
declaration OF war.
Owing to the delicate situation
which might arise through a misun
derstandlng OF an appearance hcior
Congress, the President will see to
that the exact facts and purposes SUI
rounding its appearance at tho capit'
are communicated 10 all bellieereBt

Ihication now so subject 90 -coloring
lAnd otherwise impaired. every precal
tion must be taken 20 prevent an.
misunderstanding abroad, especial.
In Germany.
The Presidents address. ms it il
tentatively planned. and barring an,
unexpeced events between now anC
the time he goes to the capitol viii
contain the information that he con.
templates no drastic action without
further consulting Congress.
No change Of policy regarding arm
ed ships has been announced. It could
not be learned whether the American
line today dispatchlng one OF IFS
liners, the Mongolia. unarmed into the
barred zone acted with any assurances
from this government. Tho abandon
ing Of the ST. Louis sailing led TO be.
lief here that that vessel. one OF the
finest in the country's marine service
might be needed later for naval pur
poses
On the heels OF the sinking OF tn,
Dalbeattle there was a general tight
ening OF tension all along the line TO
day as the real danger again shifte,

Yarrowdale prisoners, etc, back {,

MOONEY MUST Get
ANOTHER JOB NOW

Bernard T. Mooney was before City
Court today charged with non-sup-
port of his wife, Lilly NJ. Mooney,
and his ten-year-old son. Mooney
pleaded guilty, and ascribed his de-
linquency to illness.
The testimony of Mrs. Mooney de-
veoped that her husband had work
ed fifteen days since last September,
devoting the remainder of the time
to drinking liquor. Mrs. Mooney said
her husband could earn $S4 a month
and his board at one place, and $4.2O
a day at another.
Mrs. Mooney said that the trouble
was that some saloonkeepers "hlled
his insides with whiskey." An order
OF $12 week, with $500 surety bond,
was entered.
