House to house soliciting by the
women is to stop temporarily by order
OF the Board Of Health, and meetings

Barnhardt, heart and soul in his en-
thuslasm, will help them.
Mrs. T. Coleman dupont made a brief
address at the meeting today, in which
she described what she saw in France
that Liberty Bonds are paying for. Nat
urally they support the army, Mrs. du-
Pont said, but we are not apt to think
about the great docks that had to be
built for the transports to land the
troops; or the dredging Of harbors for
ships to enter; or the great refrlgerat-
ing plants; OF the railroads for trans
portatlon, or the farms for growing
vegetables for the army, and a vast
number Of things.
Mrs. Henry Ridgely, State chairman,
told the committee that a returned
soldier in Dover had spoken with near
ly every man in the 59th Pioneers. and
all had sent their good wishes to Della
