"MASQUERADERS"
AT PLAYHOUSE
Founded On Katherine Cecil
Thurston's Novel

Lots of people before and since
Bobby Burns have wished they
might see themselves as other do
Sometimes it is possible to do So
as Guy Bates Post has proved.
When Richard Walton Tully de-
cided to produce "The Masquer-
ader," at the Playhouse, Wednes-
day, January 80, matinee and
night, a play founded upon Kath-
crime Cecil Thurston's popular
novel of the same name, he chose
Mr.. Post for the star part, or
rather parts. For in this play Mr.
Post appears both as drug-soak-
ed member of Parliament and as a
rising editorial writer.
Both men are supposed to look
exactly alike, and j. is out of their
bargain to exchange stations in
life that the complications of the
drama arise.
Mr.. Post was anxious to see for
himself if his makeup as the two
men were sufficiently alike and yet
sufficiently different. An ingen-
ious photographer solved the diff
ficulty. ADV.

EXAMS UNDER
HONOR SYSTEM
Idea AS 1t Prevails At Della
ware

The Honor System was explain
ed and discussed by students of
Delaware College at Chapel exer-
cises last Wednesday, preceding
the mid year exams which began
on Thursday. The idea of the sys-
tenn as in effect at Delaware is as
follows:
When a man has an examination
scheduled he reports at the time
specified and at the room specified.
The professor who is giving that
examination gives out the ques-
tions to all who come and then
leaves the room, designating where
to leave the papers upon compile
ton. After the professor leaves no
one is in the examination. They
have absolute liberty to do any
thing which will not disturb the
other men and which will not con-
stitute a breach of the honor
pledge. When a student has COM
pleted his paper he signs the fol-
lowing pledge and deposits his pa
per: 81 have neither given nor re-
ceived any aid in this examination,
and if / have seen anyone act dis
honorably will report it to the
Student Council"
The students all FEEL the serious
ness of the duty which devolves
upon them and it is expected that
these examinations will clinch the
honor system so that it, will con-
tlnue to be a power for good for
years to come at Delaware College.
Those who spoke to the student
body were Donald P. Horsey,
Harry B. Alexander, Garrett R.
Cantwell and F. Bayard Carter.
1t was announced today that the
tickets for the Junior Prom would
be placed on sale Monday of next
week, and will be limited to ninety
couples. The floor in Old College
Hall is too small to accommodate
a larger number. The tickets will
be limited to the three upper class
es of students and faculty and
alumnae, freshmen to be provided
if any are left.

ceding and the month following,
all on the one leaf. At the same
time the calendar is decorative in

yields an income of nearly half a
million dollars a year. 1t has tracks
connecting with every railroad that
enters st. Louis. Chambers of
Commerce of other cities have
visited it with an idea of adopting
it's time-saving and money-saving
advantages.
when Mr.. Bookings and his
partner determined to endow
Washington University, they as
sured it certain income by giving
to it the Couples Station. Mr..
Bookings is still general manager
of the Station, but turns over his
twenty-five thousand dollars salary
to the college. And this is not Mr..
Brookings's only philanthropy.
The Mercantile Library, an old in
stitution in st. Louis, was badly
located in an unpopular section of
the city. 1t had very little endow-
ment and was not patronized suf-
ficiently to provide funds for it's
upkeep. Mr.. Brookings was elect
ed member of the board of direct
ors and Immediately began to use
his business acumen for the ad-
vantage of the library. Bonds were
f1oated sufficient for a new build
ing, accommodating the library
and having large office space. The
rent received was sufficient to pay
it's bonded Indebtedness and taxes,
and provided sufficient funds for
the library's maintenance.
In 1913 Mr.. Bookings gave an
additional million dollars to erect
medical department in Washing
ton University. When he was
elected president of the trustees
he Cancelled the University's in
debtedness out Of his own fortune.
ALTHOUGH Mr.. Bookings has
never married, he has large and
beautiful country home at Crystal
City on the western banks of the
Mississippi. The estate is large,
and over it a herd of deer roams
at will. 1t is noted for beautiful
gardens and immense oaks. There
is large library where Mr.. Brook
ings spends most of his time when
at leisure, and his art gallery is
surpassed by few in America.
"The life of Robert Somers
Bookings should be an inspiration
and lesson to every ambitious
American boy. 1t teaches that
man may overcome difficulties by
pluck, industry and intelligence,
and that he can rise from poverty
to success by his own efforts. It
also teaches that man does not live
for himself alone, for Mr.. Brook
ings believes that the accumula-
ton of wealth or welding of
power for personal ends and glory

SCHOOLS ENLIST IN
w. S. S. CAMPAIGN
Letter From State Commits
sioner To Teacher

Letter from Otate OOmmlS-
sioner To Teacher
Every school teacher in the State
of Delaware has been called to the
colors to help bring to a success
full issue the War-Savings cam
paign which has been undertaken
throughout the nation. Professor
A. R. Spaid, State Commissioner
of Education, has taken the leader
ship in this movement and is ap-
pealing to every teacher for active
cooperation.
The following letter has been
sent by him to every teacher in the
State:
January IL, 1918
To the Teachers of Delaware:
Mr., Henry P. Scott, Wilmington,
has been appointed by the Treas
ury Department at Washington as
State Director of the War-Savings
Committee. Ex-Governor Charles
R. Miller, Mr.. Hervey P. Hall, and
DR.. G. Layton Grier are the direc-
tors of New Castle, Kent and Sus-
sex counties, respectively.
have been appointed a member
of the War-Savings committee, and
have been given the responsibility
of organizing all the schools into
thrift associations. AS usual, the
teachers are in a position to do ex-
cellent service. They can do this
without interfering with the reg
ular school work. The proposition
is simple and the literature ex-
plains every detail. The work can
begin at once as the thrift stamps
and war-savings certificates are on
sale at all post offices. Read the
newspapers for directions and ex-
plantations, and use the lessons on
thrift in your school as soon as
received.
A FEW FACTS -" compared
with others, this country has al
ways been known as a nation of
spenders, not nation of savers.
Before the war began, France, for
instance, had some 100000
bondholders, whereas we had only
about 100000. If France had not
been able to rely on the savings of
her people, the war might have
been lost long ago. The WARSAW
ings Certificate campining should
have an effect in making America,
too, too, a nation of savers and
thus have an effect far beyond the
mere purposes of the war"
OUR PROBLEM-The estimated
population of Delaware is 234,819,
and we are expected to buy
through thrift stamps and war
savings certificates $4,696,380
worth of Baby Bonds" This is
at the rate of 500 per capita.
AFTER 5 YEARS-Should we
buy our full share, viz, $4,696,380,
that large amount will be returned
to the citizens of this State Jan
uary /, 1923, and since each five
dollar stamp will have been sold
at little over Sd, of this principal
amount, over 100000, will be pro-
fit made through the interest.
WHAT 1T WOULD BUY-Fix-
ing the price of a comfortable
home at $4,000, this interest would
buy for the Delaware people over
400 homes, or it would pay the l.,
100 school teachers a salary of
over $500 a year.
YOUR WORK-Arouse the in
terest Of your community in this
thrift campaign and report your
success to your county superin-
tendent.
Cordially yours,
A. R. SPAID,
State Commissioner of Ed
ucation cooperating with
the State Director.

Atlanta, Oct 31.-Captain James w.
English, pioneer citizen of Atlanta,
former mayor of the city and presi-
dent of the Fourth National Bank, has
just celebrated his S1st birthday. As
usual he was down bright and early
to his desk in the oanN, a desk locat-
ed where the smallest depositcr can
reach him as easily as the president
of million-dollar corporation Also
as usual, his desk was covered with
flowers presented by thoughtful
friends, and he received during the
day constant succession of congrat-
ulaticns in person, by telephone, by
telegraph and by letter. He has seen
Atlanta grow from village to prom
Using little city; has seen her laid
low by Sherman; has seen her rise
from the ashes of the war to her pre-
sent pre-eminence. A feature of his
birthday was letter presented to
him by the officers and employees of
the bank, signed by each and every
one, in which they said
"The story of the Fourth National
Bank is an interesting one, not only
to us who from day to day are con-
cerned with the practical working
of the institution, but also to the citi-
zens of Atlanta, to the banking fra
ternity in general, and to all others
who have come in touch with it.
There is one outstanding feature of
the life story of this bank, and that
feature is personality personality
| so strong and confident that it has
preserved every department, carrying
| it along through all the vicissitudes
IF the years with safety and success.
That personality is-YOURS.
Some of us have had the honor OF
working under you and by your side
since the bank was born. Others of
us have had for briefer time the pri-
vilege of such association. Others still
have but very recently joined our
forces. But we all unite today in one
big warm expression of loving appre-
citation of the value of your example
and training. the counsel you have
given and the thousands of unrecorded
acts of thoughtfullness and kindness
with which you have frightened our
days.

Chicago,-In spite of the fact that
Jesse Otley Gibbs, held in Chicago
charged with bigamy, has six ac-know
lodged wives, not one of them will
assist in prosecuting him.
Not only this, but half a dozen
other women living in and near Chi

for Gibbs, some of them admitting
they think him "just lovely"
Dashins and Bold
Jesse is dashing and bold. When
the police asked him If he desired
protection in courtroom his wives
he said if they-the police-would
watch they would learn about wo-
men from him. They did.
Wives No. 8. Sand were there,
and Jesse gave round of pleasant
mods to the assembled Mrs Gibbses.
Mrs. Emma May Early Gibbs, elocu-
zionist and poet fluttered her dark
eyes and sighed.
Hilma Swamberg Gibbs, who is
blonde and a nurse, blushed rosily
and her blue eyes sought the floor
Rose Lynn Gibbs seemed ill at ease
and hid her face in her hand.
It's shame to treat him like this
said Mrs. Emma May Early Gibbs.

said as they filed out:
