Local Restaurant Affords
Quick Service

Fifteen men, members of the
Twentieth Engineer Corps, from
the American University Camp at
Washington, were entertained by
S. j. Wright and family last Satur-
day evening. The men were pass
ing through Newark about eight
D. M, in large army trucks, when
they were delayed by tire troub e
in front of the Wright residence.
The weather was bitter, and Mr..
Wright, in hospitable fashion, in
vited them into his home. The NJ.
A. McGovern restaurant was call
ed and a lunch of sandwiches and
hot coffee was ord cred for the men,
who, Mr.. Wright learned, had had
nothing hot all day. Mrs. Nc
Govern measured up to the oc-
casion by serving the lunch at the
Wright home just eighteen min
utes after the order was placed.

derstand, and if you place the clear
conclusions fairly and persistent
ly before your readers, they will
understand and help.
May we not ask, therefore, that
when any reported Food Admins
tration measure is, to your mind,
inconsistent or unclear, you seek
authoritative light upon it before
you WELD your pen? There are
many things in the food problem
which are perfectly consistent
from an international viewpoint,
which seem inconsistent merely
from a national angle. And it is
from an international angle that
the great food problems must be
viewed.
The views of our people are like
ly to be circumscribed by their
own horizons. You must teach
them to widen their mental vision,
to. see beyond what Immediately
and at the moment affects their
personal appetites and bank ac-
Tcounts. 1t is for you to show them
how and why America and the Al
lies will collapse, how defeat will
smite and crush them if they do
not conscientiously and under
standingly live up to their inter
national obligations.
It is for you to keep weather
eye on unauthorized statements
from irresponsible persons. 1t is
the patriotic, the American and the
| sensible thing to do not to print

AT City Club In Dupont Build.
ing

Owing to the changes in ad-
dress of those graduates of Della
ware College who are in the service
of the Government, the Ways and
Means Committee of the Alumni
Association has found it impos-
sible to send to them invitations to
the annual Alumni Banquet to be
held at the Hotel DUPONT at 7
o'clock sharp on Saturday evening,
January 26th, with any assurance
that these invitations will reach
their destination. The committee
therefore wishes to take this
means of notifying such men that
they are invited to the banquet and
that it is hoped they will make
every possible effort to attend. The
price this year is $3.50, and every
man who can be present is urged
to send his check as soon as pos
sible to the chairman of the COM
mittee-George l.. Townsend, New
ark, Delaware. 1t will be the en-
deavor of the committee to make
the banquet this year one of the
most significant and enjoyable eve,
held by the Association. The ban
quet this year will be informal 81
far as dress is concerned.

While few diff ficult chances were offered both teams fielded like so many machines, as not an error was made on either side It is very unusual to find two teams eo- ing through the first game of a series without an error being recorded, as the players usually are kept LID to a high tension and are more likely to err then than under normal con- ditionS.
