New Century Club Notes

Mrs. w. A. Powell, State President
of the Federation of Women's Clubs,
gave most interesting and delightful
description of what saw in Hawaii"
trip made last summer to those charm
ing islandt in the Pacific, to the n:em-
bers of the New Century Club on
Tuesday afternoon. It's climate varies
only about 10 degrees during the year.
While many sections Of the U. S. was
sizzling last summer, the temperature
on those islands was about 70 to Is de-
grees. Mrs. Powell spoke principally
of the islands and customs of the in
habitants, for to appreciate the beauty
and grandeur of the scenery one must
see the islands. A most remarkable
feature of Hawaii is that it has few or
no birds, but beautiful and delicious fish
and, of course, aboundant fruits and
and vegetables. After Mrs. Powelps
talk, refreshment were served and
pleasant half hour intercourse. Tues
day next there will be no meeting at
the regular hour, hut the postponed
Community" meeting will be held.

Of colored man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from circus clown

To prove that her 7th husbands Sis

That she had son. who had friend
That knows when the war is going tt

A FATAL ACCIDENT

Friday evening, one man was killed
and another man fatally injured in one
of the most serious accidents that has
occurred on the Delaware division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad lines in some
months.
Harold S. Padley, aged q years, of
Cecilton Md, was killed and Wilbur B.
Wooleyhan, aged 40 years, of the same
place had his right arm cut off at the
elbow and otherwise lacerated, when
an automobile truck in which they were
riding was run down by the Delaware
road train arriving at Aiddletown at z.
so o'clock, when they crossed the state
road at Kirkwood. The accident occurred
shortly after 8o'clock, the train being
late.
The two men, who had been in Will
mington, purchasing paints, drove on
the tracks directly in front of the rap
idly-moving engine. Padley was driv-
ing the machine. The machine in which
they were riding was reduced to kind
ling by the impact of the collision and
the crash of the engine striking the
automobile was heard for considerable
distance.
When residents of Kirkw God, hearing
the crash, ran to the grade crossing,
they found N'ooleyhan's body lying in
the car bleeding from score of wounds
on his body; his right arm severed from
his body, his right foot nearly cut in
half, his legs horribly mangled, and
deep cuts about the thighs and body.
He was placed on north bound train
and taken to y iImington, where the
Phoenix ambulance met the train and
removed him to the Delaware Hospital
where he died at 1890 o'clock Saturday
morning. Padley's lifeless body was
also found in the car and was later re-
moved to the undertaking establishment
of William J. Wilson, of this town.
Wooleyhan was married and has .
wife and three children living near
Cecilton, while Padley. who is son Of
George w. Padley of Cecilton was un-
married. but reported to have been en-
gagged to Miss Burris Of Cecilton.
The funerals of the two men were
held from their homes in and near
CeciIton, Monday, and were attended
by hundreds Of relatives and friends.
Interment was made 10 Cecilton ceme-
terry.

PATRIOTIC TEACHER
Miss Howell Makes Slhe Love Of
Country Part Of
THE ACADEMY'S CURRICULUM

Besides her weighty duties ds Princi-
pal of our Academy, which responsible
position Miss Ida Howell has long held
with entire satisfaction to the parents,
the scholars and the School Board, she
has voluntarily assumed the additional
and highly important role of teaching
patriotism to her pupils, devoting each
week certain amount of time thereto.
To her high credit it must be said
that Miss Howell has been an ardent
patriot and a hater Of the Huns and
their hellish brutalities. from the very
first days in August 1914 when the news
came to America telling how the Ger
mans had violated peaceful Belgium,
committing every kind of brutal deeds
against defenceless civilians, men,
women and children, numbering, raping,
manning wholesale like so many fends
escaped from hell
She was flaming patriot when for
over two years such live brand OF
true Americanism was largely tafoo
right here in Middletown with its
cowardly pro-German politicians, its
mollycoddle pacificists, and peace-at-
any price partisans.
Indeed, it is encouraging, nay, it is
inspiring, to think that from Delaware
to California there were then such glow
ing patriot women true to the highest
ideals of the, Republic which our faith
ers bought and kept for us at so great
cost of blood and treasure.
California, yes, for Miss Mollie F.
Burris, The transcripts onetime editor
was also through all that period that was
"trying mems souls" an open, ardent
opponent of the Huns and their un-
speakabIe atrocities, and that, too, when
a great part Of the male population OF
the whole country, mislead and poisoned
by high official poltroonery and folly,
were but one half, or one poor quarter.
patriotic-were ''too proud to fight, I"
but were content to indulge in silly,
wordy protests against the repeated
murders for two years of Am .ricans,
men, women and babes upon the free
seas, if, indeed. they were not found
apologizing for these brazen Hun
usurpations and barbarities by admit
ting Germany's right to order US off the
ocesn!
Miss Howell has probably the largest
collection of valuable war books in this
region, perhaps as large as any private
collection in the state, and what is more
she has read them, too. The Transcript
trusts Miss Howell will continue hel
good war work of inculcating in her
scholars the ideas of true love Of
country-of the one country whose
ideals and whose practices are the
loftiest in all the world. So doing she
will not only bless her students and
profit the Nation and the State, but
will also confer much honor upon her
self

AN APPEAL TODELAWA ARE

Delaware has always risen to every
occasion and emergency.
She over subscribed her quota for the
two Liberty Loans, and went over the
top at the drives for the ''Red Cross, p"
"Y. M. G.. A." and *. Of c."
Will she not respond as generously
to the appeal which the 'Red Star
Animal Relief" is making through the
Delaware S. P. c. A.
Our Secretary Of War. Mr.. Baker,
has asked the American Humane So
ciety, to care for the war horses, mules
and dogs. and under the name of the
"Red Star Animal Relief" it is work
ing for t war animals, just as the
"Red Cross" is caring for the soldiers.
The supply Of horses is running short,
as we had sent thousands to the Allies
before our entrance into the War. Con-
servation of the American horse is alb
solutely essential if we would win the
War.
Horses and mules are vital necessity
in bringing in supplies Of food and
ammunition, for the auto cannot go
where the horse can, this has been de-
monstrated abroad. TIE animals whose
assistance is so necessary, must be
saved. Money is needed to establish
hos pitals in France where the wounded
can be treated and sent lack to the
front to do their humble part in defeat
ing the enemy.
1t IS the patriotic duty of every true
American to help this organization, for
it means not only the humane relief for
wounded and suffering animals. but will
be the direct means of saving our boys
in the trenches.
How will you feel, you who turn q
deaf ear to this appeal. when some day
you read in your newspaper a long
casualty list, with the information that
hundreds of our men have been slain by
the brutal Hun, because horses and
mules were lacking to bring ammunition
to the front when most needed.
Give, beg of you, and generously.
Large sums of money are needed.
Other states have answered the call of
the ''Red STAR" do not let our Della
ware be behindhand in'this splendid and
patriotic work.
Contributions can be sent to me al
my home address or in care of the Del.

ture which will give in detail, both by
lantern slides and her explanation thc
recent activities of the Suffrage workers
in Washington. Mrs. Weed will come
to Middletown Wednesday April 17th
and will speak at the New Century
Club House at $50 P. NJ.
Mrs. Weed is the daughter of the late
CONGRESSMAN Ebenezer Hill, of Connec-
ticut who served his state in Congress

speech in Washington and was in the
first group of women who went out
to demand suffrage by standing
outside the White HJuse Gates

dramatic arrest of women picketing
the White H )use Gates. This talk is
said to convert nintynine out of one
