arouse others to give their help:
We want to thank you for your

the Army officers who inspect the
splendid things that have come to

what fine work you are doing for
our men. Please send US as many
cases as you can. WE NEED

Olin Templin, U. s. Food Administration, Washing ton, D. C., Will Tell Amy College Girl How She Can Enlist as a Volunteer.

Sefore the waS the average col @ege girls definition of a vacation was a time of complete rest from brain work. and the recipe for en- toying 1t was one hammock, one book of fiction, and one large plate Of fudge, all surrounded by soft 'hreezes, blue sky and permeated with an atmosphere of utter ire SponsibiIity.
 Today, when there is such a thing as 8 WAR on hand, the definition is strangely altered. Ask any Volun- out that her interpretation of the word vacation" now is-intense application to some sort of work that will help to win the war. The Incentive for enjoying that work is the prospect of winning a Food Ad- mtnistration certificate from the college she is attending and being given a job at harvesting crops or canning or preserving or teaching others to do so.
 The hammock and the fudge and the soft breezes?
 The hammocks are all swinging to the motion of the water on war ships. transports and cruisers; the fudge, isn't eaten at all. because there is 8 sugar shortage: and the oft breeze is sometimes the hot

Vacations, Fudge, and Ham, rnocks Renounced as Vol- unteer College Workers
 Pledge Themselves to. War Work for the Summer.

Nothing is too unimportant, noth- ing too difficult for these volunteer workers. They have harvested crops and canned them, too: they have assisted the state Councils of Defense in propaganda work: they have helped imm easurably in dis seminating the recommendations of the Food Administration. Yet they have not felt themselves above talk tng care of babies for busy house. wives who need a release from home taska in order to do their canning: or mending and patching, to aid in the conservation of clothing in order that the factories may be en1-' ployed in the making of soldiers uniforms.
 Almost all of the schools and co1~ leges have maintained intensive courses in Home Economies and Dietetics during the, sunau er. Hun dreds of girls have given up their vacations without a murnur to at tend these courses, in order that they may later teach others and demonstrate the best methods for canning and preserving foods.
 At the State Normal and Indus trial College at Greensboro. North Carolina, the students in the sum- Iner schools spent their time. in be- tween classes, not in playing ukule~s les or eating fudge, but in stringing beans and preparing vegetables for cannerS.
 And speaking of fudge
 Volunteer College Workers don't eat it.
 It takes too much sugar! And sugar means ships. And ships must carry troops to France and feed and arm them after they arrive there. Better to give up fudge than to let the army lack what it needs!
 A Secretary of college workers for every state In the Union has been appointed by the Food Ad- ministration under the direct su- pervision of Olin Iemp1in, Director of the Collegiate Section, United States Food administration, at Washington, D. C.
 Any college girl who wants in- formation as to how to help, or to whom to apply in her state. can find her "place in the sun" by either writing direct to Washington or to the college with which she has been identified.

SHOOTING AFFAIR STIRS
SMYRNA COLOREO FOLKS
NELSON POSTLES DEAD FROM A
PISTOL SHOT BY FRED CLIFTON
Shooting Took Place Shortly After
Midnight Sunday-CliftOn Surren-
ders Himself to the Officers.

A shooting affair occurred in the
cOlored district of Smyrna near the
corner of Commerce street and Mon
rovia avenue, shortly after midnight
Sunday night, and as a result Nelson
Postles, cOlored, aged about 20 years,
is dead, and Fred Clifton, colored, SO,
is in Kent county Jail on charge of
murder. According to Clifton, who
surrendered himself to Night Watch
man Joseph G. Broadway after the
shooting, he had bought a revolver
from Postles and after the sale had
been made, Postles wanted the gun
back. Clifton refused to let him have
it and tussle ensued, resulting in the
revolver being discharged and a
bullet penetrated POstles' breast, kill
ing him almost instantly. State de-
tectives were Immediately put on the
case and Clifton who first attempted
to escape, felt it better to give him
self up which he did. A black jack
was taken from the hand of PoStleS.
Kent COunty's cornor was summoned
and jury impanelled with Gardner
Ford as forman and George w. Gun
ming as secretary. John Dean, colOred,
was the principal witness, but the jury
were unable to get much definite in
formation because of conflicting state
ments. Enough testimony was had
that it was money,probably crap funds
that caused the quarrel, enough to
warrant the full jury in rendering
verdict that: "Nelson Postles came
to his death as the result of a gunshot
wound from the hand of Fred Cliff

GASLESS SUNDAYS SOON END
Director of Government Oil Division
Thinks About Middle of October.

"The gasolineless Sundays will not
last much longer" said NJ. L. Requa,
director of the Oil Division of the
Fuel Administration, in an interview
said "the response has enabled us
already to send to France ten cargo
boats carrying $4,000 barrels each,
and that helped a lot. l think the
gasoline situation will be so we'll in
hand that the gasolineless Sundays
will end about the middle of October.
"At present and for some time
past" we are getting only about 100,
900 barrels of oil a day from Mexico.
Had we the ships we could bring
easily $4,000 barrels a day which
would correct the shortage. What
we need most is gasoline and next
kersOene, the kersene largely for farm
tractors" However, Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield is quoted, in Washing
ton, Saturday, as saying there is no

immdiate prospect of the Sunday re-
striction being lifted. Notwithstand-
ing the condemnation heaped on those
