u CASES BEFORE
STATE BUREAU

Patrick Burke. vagrant. arrested on
a charge OF trespassing on the Penn
sylvanla Railroad tracks. was sent to
the compulsory work bureau OF the
State Council Of Defense by Judge
Churchman this morning. Christopher
L. Ward, director. assigned him to

one man was In the army, three show
ed physicians certificates OF their ply
sical inability TO work, three were as
signed to Jobs by the compulsory
bureau, and one man was found 20 be a
temporary inmate OF the workhOuse.
When the police have gone 10 serve
subpoenas they have found that a
number OF idlers were OF the class
known as "drlfters." and had departed
for other cities.
In the few days that the bureau has
been opened, the effect that il has had
upon the number Of applicants FOR
work has been highly impressive
Idlers are losing no time to secure
Jobs, reasoning that II the State Is go
ing to make them go TO work, they
might as well choose their own Jobs
instead OF having possibly uncongenial
employment thrust upon them by the
State
On Monday. the busiest day at the
Office Of the United States Employment
Service. two weeks ago the number Of
men applicants for work was 81 T; a week
ago Monday, il was 80; day before yes
terday. the first Monday the compul-
sorry bureau was In activity, the num-
Der OF men applicants was i30. This is
almost twice the Monday average. and
more than Doubt the general average
OF co daily applications. The Federal
service attributes this increase directly
10 the effect Of the enforcement Of the
State anti-loafing law.

tion at No. IL
FIRST TINE 1T HAS
BEEN TRIED IN CITY

Wilmington's frct summer school
was opened this week at No. II School,
Eighteenth and Clsymont streets. These
summer schools have proved Of the
greatest value in other cities, and al
though it is a new institution TO VIII
minston It viii prove OF equal beneflt
to Wilmington children. The plan Is
being tried by Superintendent OF Pub
lie schools Clifford J. Scott g.
Seyenty-flye children attended the
opening session. and more than ninety
were there the second day and today
the number in attendance was more
than one hundred. Children from other
sections OF the city have been asked
TO be allowed to attend the school and

as 1t promises to be, II Is hoped more
schools may be opened next summer,
notably in particular, at Schools No.
80, No. 7. and No. "a.
The school Is open from 9 o'clcck
until 70 O'Clock and the time Is oscu-
pied with construction play and occu-
pational work, as well as regular
school studies, which VIII enable pu-
pills to advance their school standing
The experiment OF fve-cent school
luncheOns or breakfast. a feature that
has proved successful In other cities. is
also being tried out at No. II school
Many teachers report that a number Of
the scholars go TO public school with
out having eaten breakfast. This re-
suits in a headache and the child does
not have the power to concentrate and
grasp his work. These luncheons are
served at 1890 o'clock. The menus
have been prepared under the direction
OF a food expert and with careful at
tention 20 proper food values. MIX or
cocoa are valuable and appear every
day on the bill OF fare.
Under the approval OF the Park and
Playground commission the open lot
opposite No. II School has been Sc
cured as a playground. The commits
sion Will furnish the equipment for the
playground.
The trying out OF this experiment
for Wilmington has been made possible
by the generosity Of various public
spirited citizens.
The teachers that have charge OF
this work are Mss Esther Strickland
and Miss Jennie Greenstein and Miss
Margie Robinson. Miss Helen Brown,
graduate OF the Woman's College OF
Delaware, has charge Of the domestf,

FRENCH PEOPLE
WILL CELEBRATE
FOURTH OF JULY

Paris, June 29.-Cheers and
shouts of enthusiasm greeted the
announcement made in the cham
ber of deputies this afternoon
that the Fourth of July would be
regarded as a legal French holf
day. All party lines were oblit-
Grated and the plaudits were
unanimous from all parts of the
amphitheater. It was one of the
most impressive demonstrations
that had been seen in the French
chamber of deputies since the be-
ginning of the war.
Forewarned that the motion
would occupy the first place in the
rder of the day the deputies had
tathered in larger numbers than
at any time since the beginning
of hostilities with the possible
exception of the assemblage on
June 4th when Premier Clemen-
ceau made his famous speech re-
garding the German offensive on
the Chemin Des Danes.
Premier Clemenceau was pres
ent when the session opened.
Maurice Damour, secretary of APP
preparation of the chamber Of
deputies, presented the resolution
asking that the French people
unite in celebrating the American
holiday, and said:
"It is the duty of France to tell
her American friends: You cele-
brate your independence day on
July the fourth. Henceforth, we
shall likewise celebrate that date
rs token of our fraternal and in
dissoluble friendship. "
Amid great cheering, the cham
Der decided to refrain from hold
ng a session July 4.
Deputy Henry Franklin -Bouil-
on, chairman Of the interallied
parliamentary conferences, said:
A year ago the first American
soldier disembarked on our shores
Now there are approximately a
million in France and another
million ready to cross the OCEAN
and President Wilson has said
that the American effort will not
be limited to five million fighting
men"
This mention of President Will
son S name caused storm of APP
plause.
This is the first time that the
French chamber of deputies has
been unanimous on any question
in its whole history" said a So
tialist deputy to the Associated
Press, He is known as one of the
most bitter opponents of the Gle
menceau ministry, but added:
"When America is mentioned
parties disappear and there re-
mains only France!'

MARsHAL's cow IN POUND

On last Saturday a round up Of
stray stock was made by the vii
age marshal and impounded,
with the result that sixteen head
graced the village pound during
the day. The marshal had en-
ployed help in making the round
up, and on one Ofhis trips to the
pound was surprised to find his
own Glossy" with the bunch. In
some manner "bossy" had gotten
lear of the corral in which she
was supposed to remain, and be-
ing spied meandering down the
alleys and streets, was pointed
out to the marshal's helper, as a
candidate for the pound. The
helper, not knowing nor caring
whose Glossy" it might be, run

THE SUGAR SUPPLY

The matter Of sugar supply has
been under consideration OF the
national Food Administration and
the visible supply for the last Of
this year is 100000 tons.
This supply Of 100000 tons
lecessitates a considerable reduc-
rion in ourcon sumption. TO
provide three pounds of sugar
per month per person for house
hold use, to take care of our Army
md Navy and to provide 1000
700 tons of sugar for the SIX
month. A household consumption
If three pounds per month per
person, together with the spe-
;ial allowance for home canning
means a reduction of some 20 per
cent in these branches of con-
sumption from normal but 1t Is
still nearly double the ration III
the Allied countries and is ample
for every economical use.
In the plan of distribution
which will now go into force, the
less essential users of sugar that
IS. confectioners, soft drinkman-
ufacturers, tobacco manufacture
9rs, ct cetera, will be hit the hard
st. The Administration regrets
intensely any action that will
cause hardship to any individual,
out the situation is due to the
Germans, not to this Government.
There are a number of substitutes
lvailable to the confectioners up
on which no restrictions are plac-
ed.
Retail stores will receive for
July purchases certificates based
upon the average of sugar sold
during the combined three months
If April, May and June, 1918. Re
tailers must not sell to anyone eX-
cept hOuseholders, without taking
up the certificates of those to
whom they sell. HOuseholders dO
not need certificates, but retailers
are not to sell to hOusehOlders
more than 2 pounds at any one
time to town customers and not
more than 5 pounds to any coun-
try customer. Further more the re-
.ailer must do his best to limit the
,ale Of sugar to 3 pounds per per
son per month.
Retailers may, as at present,
sell % pounds of sugar to any one

There was tumult in the city,

And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.

AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore
So they beat against the Statehouse
So they surged against the door
And the mingling of the voices
Made a harmony profound
Fill the quiet street of chestnuts
Was all turbulent with sound.
