DU POINTS MAY PUT
UP new BUILDING
Mammouth Structure to be
Built at llth and Market
Street,. is Report
OPTIONS SECURED
ON PROPERTIES

Wilmington will have another mann
moth building. due to the activities Of
the dupont Powder Company in a
short time, according to reports that
have been heard for several days.
II is rumored that the company has
under consideration a proposition to
build another large Office building on
the northwest corner Of Eleventh and
Market streets, which, however. would
take in practically half the block
bounded by Market. Orange, Eleventh
and Twelfth streets and directly oppo-
site the dupont Hotel.
Il Is understood the company either
has options or some other agreement
on nearly all the properties on the
west side Of Market street from
Eleventh 10 Twelfth. This includes the
Draper property on the corner Eleventh
and Market streets, the Wilmington
Club I'm the middle Of the block and the
property owned by the wilmington
Lodge OF Elks above the wilmington
Club.
lust how soon the the deals for those
properties will be closed and work
started on the proposed building is not
known.
Not wlthstanding the fact that in
point OF square feet OF floor space the
present dupont building is said to be
one OF the largest in the world, The
rapid growth Of the business OF this
great company and the demand on II
for office room in the building by
other concerns and individuals. has
exceeded the supply. The absolute
need OF more floor space is said TO be
the reason for the proposed new
building.

KIWANIS CLUB
HELPS MOVEMENT

Former Governor Miller, who was
appointed recently by w. G. McAdoo,
chairman OF the Citizens National Com
mittee for the Boy Scout Campaign for
a part OF the third district Of the Ma
tional Council. comprising parts Of
Pennsylvania. New Jersey and all Of
Delaware, is busily at work in arous-
ing interest throughout the district and
in perfecting organization in territory
in different parts Of the district where
local committees are not already at
work.
Cooperating with Chairman Miller
and rendering him every possible as
sistance from Delaware. is Chancellor
Charles NJ. Curtis. who is chairman Of
the citizens committee for Wilmington
and Delaware.
With two such leaders as this at the
helm IL is believed that the third dis
trict will do its full share in helping
the campaign to go over big by the time
for its close, next Saturday, which is
Flag Day.
The Kiwanis Club. at its luncheon to-
day at noon, showed unbounded enthu-
siasm in its work Of helping TO put this
campaign over. This club has a num-
Der OF captains and team workers out
soliciting subscriptions and member
ships for the campaign and some OF
these teams are doing excellent work.
There is keen rivalry between the Kl-
wants Club and the Rotary Club as to
which organization shall prove most
helpful in the drive. as they both have
teams at work.
The executive committee for the
campaign will hold a meeting tonight
at headquarters in the Church Build
ing, Tenth and Market streets, which
all.members are urged TO attend.
A demonstration OF flrst-aid work
and semaphore signalling will be held
tomorrow night by teams representing
the various Boy Scout troops OF the
city. The unique feature of this dem
onstration is that IL will be shown
while the boys are marching over a
short parade route. starting at Eleventh
and Market streets. at $50 o'clock. They
will be headed by Speakman Fife and
Drum Corps. Along the line Of march
the frst-aid team will bear stretchers
made OF Scout slaves and the coats OF
their uniforms and carrying patients.
