FREDERICA NINE OUTCLAssED

In heavy slugging match staged in
Frederica on Decoration Day the Eel
ton A. A. outclassed the fast Freder-
lea nine. Mcbride, Frederica's classy
moundsman who earned great laurels
in his recent victory over Fort Sauls-
bury was treated to a bombardment
such as the Germans received at the
Argonne Forest. He eventually retir-
ed in dismay. His successors, Cham
bers and Hudson Jared little better.
When the smoke of the battle had
cleared away the Frederick boys were
buried under a 10 to II score. The
Frederick boys drew first blood but
later took an airship ascension. They
probably acquired this tactic from
their manager Mr.. Camper. The game
was replete with many brilliant fea-
lures not ably the hard consistent hit
ting Of the FELTON, nine but also the fast
work and fielding of Jester, Stewart
and Wagner. Hughes, the FELTON, slab
artist, after having few bad innings
returned to his old form and turned
the heavy hitters of the Frederick team
back to the bench in order. There
was gloom in Frederick that evening,
the lights were out and the boat failed
to make it's scheduled trip.

AIRPLANE LANDED HERE SUNDAY

An airplane which landed near Mil
ford last Sunday created much ex-
citement and interest upon the part of
the people of this section. The ma
chine was piloted by one man and
came here from Philadelphia. The
pilot started for Harrisburg and in
leaving Philadelphia followed a four
track railroad, thinking it would lead
him to- Harrisburg. He followed
the Delaware division road to Will
mington and thence down the penin-
sula however. When he landed in Mil
ford he was much surprised to learn
where he was. After filling the tank
with gasoline, he again left, this time
for Aberdeen Maryland where he can
follow the river back to Harrisburg.
The driver of the airplane was adver-
tising a flying school in Harrisburg.

BAN BLIND BABIES
MATERIAL AND INSTRUCTIONS SENT TO
PHYSICIANS AND MIDWIVES.

Every physician and registered mid
wife in Delaware will receive by mail
Tomorrow a package sent out by the
State Board of Health containing sur
icient silver nitrate solution for the
treatment of six new born babies as
safeguard against ophthalmia neona-
forum. a widely-spread cause of eye
trouble, usually called babies sore
eyes, frequently resulting in perman-
ent blindness.
If promptly applied to the eyes OF
the newly-born child this solution is
preventative, and the present state
laws require attending doctors or mid
wives to file with the birth certln-
cate, within 10 days, a statement
whether this or some other specified
treatment was used.
The package is one prepared by the
Ledarle Laboratories, and is the acme
of simplicity and convenience. There
are six ampoules, wedge-shaped con-
tainers an inch in length by half an
inch broad and a quarter of an inch
thick, of a pliable composition, each OF
which contains four drops Of the solu-
ton, of one per cent strength. A pin
thrust into the small end allows the
drops to be squeezed out, two for each
eve. A circular of directions is en-
closed in the box, as well as pin to
pierce the hole.
This is one Of the first practical
steps resulting from the reorganiza-
ton of the State Board of Health on
modern basis, and is expected to re-
suit in the diminishing of cases of eye
htrouble, as well as stimulate the
prompt report of births, which has
been neglected in many parts OF the
State.
The packages are furnished from
I the Dover Office, and an additional full
supply may be had on request from
the State Board of Health, State House

citation play, staged in Armory Hall,
May 9Th, by Miss Edna E. -Colladay, is
to be repeated there Wednesday even
ing, -June 18th, under the auspices OF
the Milford New Century Club.
Marcia Manages" was an excel
lent home talent production and re-
peated regrets from many people in
surrounding towns, who did not see the
play owing to the rain, and numerous
requests for a repetition from the
Milford public, whom the show de-
lighted, finally induced Miss Colladay
to give it again.
There will be new specialties be-
tween the acts, one of which is sure
to win approval. Miss Francis De
Witt, who is now pupil of John
Barnes Wells, in New York, and who
sang in Miss Colladay's production of
Gems" three years ago, when it was
produced in Milford, is to be soloist
for the second performance Of Mar
cia Manages"
Miss De Wits success as a vocalist
is too we'll known thruout Delaware to
need more than passing mention here.
Her charming personality, clear an
nunciation and beautiful tone quality
won her a host of friends in Milford,
who will give her a most hearty well
come on June 18th.
Marcia Manages" has been univer-
sally acclaimed the finest amateur
production seen in Milford in many
years. Reserve your tickets at Pet
tyjohn's Pharmacy. The second per-
formance will be followed by a dance.
The following is the Executive Com
mittee, which has planned several
novel features in connection with the
performance. Mrs. George w. Mar
