Burglars Again Visit Newark

On Monday night of last week
undesirable visitors entered the

prying open a dining room window
after breaking the lock. While the
sideboard drawers and the kitchen
cupboard were ransacked, nothing
of value was taken, except pair
Of socks that were ready to be
turned into Red Cross headquar-
ters. The burglars were probably
scared off by Mrs. Frederick who
detected the odor of chloroform
and arose to make an Investigation
She heard no suspicious sounds and
knew nothing of the attempted
burglary until next morning, when
she discovered that some food hao
been taken and attempts made tc
pry open other windows than the
one broken. Foot prints were founc
on the porch and a cork supposedly
from the bottle containing the drue

Banks will Purchase
Pure-bred Cattle

The National Bank of Odessa
and the Farmers Trust Co. of New
ark, cooperating with the New
Castle County Farm Bureau, have
instructed County Agent Bausman
to go to Michigan to purchase two
more carloads of pure-bred cattle.
Twenty-four farmers of the county
have given orders for one or more
of these cows.
1t is the plan to purchase mature
cows three or four years old, not to
exceed five years. These will be
cows of good size and individuality,
and with the proper breeding to
form foundation for a future
pure-bred herd. These cows will
come fresh within one to two
months after arriving in the coun-
! ty. The farmers are especially de-
sirous Of securing this type of cows
as it is only a few weeks until the
cow is ready to start her lactation
period, and the calf at six months
of age often times is worth half
as much as the cost of the COW. The
Fall is an especially opportune
time to buy cows from that section.
rs to so per cent Of them freshen
in the Fall. 1t is thought that two
carloads of very desirable animals
will be brought into the county.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE
OPENS TODAY
Classes Begin Tomorrow

Women's College Of Delaware
opened this morning with an EX-
animation in English for all fresh
men, beginning at 1870 a. m. To-
morrow morning the college opens
formally. The freshmen number
ing more than 80 have already ar
rived, and many of the upper class
men who are acting as reception
committee for incoming students.
The Women's College of Della
ware, opened in September 1914 in
affiliation with Delaware State Col
lege for men was the first college
for women to be established under
state control. This form of organ
ization has particular advantages
at this time when our state uni
versities and other co-educational
institutions are being turned into
military training camps, because it
makes it possible to conduct the
work for women without any in
terruption.
In addition to the standard arts
and science course the practical
Home Economics course is given
with such requirements as to make
| it on a par with other college
courses; the Education courses are
given to prepare teachers for the
high schools and the elementary
grades with opportunity for prac-
tice teaching provided by co-opera-
tion with the Newark Schools.
Agriculture which is already at
tracing many women as war
necessity is offered with exception
al facilities as to instruction in
that the resources of the Expert
ment Station are available, also the
Experiment Farm of 200 acres with
it's pure-bred herd, swine, and
other animals, it's woodlot and its
orchard, and gardens which con-
tain some five hundred kinds OF
fruit and it's experimental plots
which demonstrate many interest
ing methods of crop production
and the use of farm machinery
Drawing, color work, and design
are elective in all courses. No tut
tion is required of Delaware stu
dents. For these outside the State
fee Of $4,000 is required. Tht
price for board is $4,000. This il
maintained with the desire to keel
the living expenses as low as pos
!, sible while the instruction ant
equipment are of the highest char
acter.
The faculty arrived early in tn
= week and have everything in readi
, ness for the opening tomorrow.

LABOR SHORTAGE
AFFECTS RITTER
PLANT
U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE AIDS
Living Conditions A Problem

With the tomato season at its
height, the labor shortage was
acutely felt at the Ritter plant last
week. An appeal to the U. S. EN-
ployment Service brought five men
who found difficulty in procuring
board and lodging. Mr.. Ayres J.
Stcckley, secretary of the State Adj
visory Board, came to Newark to
investigate living conditions and
found that boarding houses were
taxed to their utmost capacity and
that living expenses at the hotels
were beyond the means of the
working men. He succeeded in ar
ram ging to lodge the men in the
Hose House and to board them in
the restaurants. -
Yesterday the delivery of toma-
toes was so great that at $50, the
wagonloads of tomatoes were lined
up, filling the lane and extending
several hundred yards up Depot
Road. As result the company is
receiving no tomatoes today but is
handling the shipments from Days
boro, Del, and Millington, Nd,
where the Ritter company contract
and receive carload shipments. The
labor shortage due in a measure to
sickness and other causes prevents
the running of all three brands IF
ketchup. Only two brands are pre-
pared at the present time.

LIEUTENANT LOOMS
WOUNDED IN ACTION
Serious Operation Necessary

Newark friends of Lieutenant
Stanley S. Loomis, a former Della
ware College student and member
of the class of 1916, have received
word that he has been seriously
wounded in action at the front.
Lieutenant Loomis came to Della
ware from Meshoppen, Pa. He was
a member of Co. E Of Newark and
served with them on the Mexican
border. When the United States
entered the war, he went, to Otfi-
GERS Training Camp at Fort Meyer
and was commissioned second lieu
tenant. He was later transferred
to Fort Sewer and received COM
mission as first lieutenant. He
went overseas early last winter
and was in the thick of the fight
during the spring and summer.
Early last week his mother re-
ceived letter from his nurse in a
hospital near the front stating that
he had been seriously wounded in
both legs. Whether or not it was
necessary to amputate or whether
an operation of some other sort
was performed was not stated.
Official notice was received yes
terday by his mother and another
letter from his nurse stating that
his condition is much improved
and that as soon as he is fit to
travel, he will be moved to a base
hospital. Loomis was general
favorite with the students and the
townspeople. He took an active
part in athletics, having played
end on the College football team
He displayed also an unusual in
terest in military affairs, having
been made major in his senior
year.

in regard to this chance to train
themselves as officers and technical
experts, such as chemists, engi-
neers and physicians.
Only graduates of four-year
standard High Schools or men hav-
ing equivalent educational qualifi-
cations, can enter the Student
