Club Girls Put Out
Fire Near Camp Dix

A group Of Club-girls in Burl-
ington County, New Jersey, near
Camp Dix, where a country Asso-
citation grew up under the War
Work Council, had an opportunity
recently to render a piece of valu-
able community service. They had
hiked for a few miles into the
country and were about to prepare
an out-of-door supper when it was
discovered that a nearby farm
house was on fire. There was no
telephone in the house; the near
est fire department was some miles
away, but the girls were equal to
the emergency. Under the direc-
tion of two secretaries they organ
lied a bucket-brigade extending
from the pump in the back yard
to the second floor of the house
where the fire had started. The
situation demanded speed, cool
pheads, and steady, hard work, and
the girls put in their very best
efforts. The farmhouse was saved
and the club-girls greeted as.
heroines by the grateful owners.
If you ask one of the girls about it,
however, she will tell you that she
really enjoyed the experience.

We Enjoy A Birthday Party

Father Time reminds all of us
at annual intervals that ne is still
on the job. Some of us have reach
ed the age when we cease to cele-
brate the passing of each mile
stone. Others of us are still young
enough to make merry in spite of
the menace of the Old Man with
the Scythe, and generously ask the
rest of us to join in the fun.
Sunday was a birthday ami
versary for Miss Edna Chalmers
of the Kells force. In anticipation
Of the event that date was marked
in gold on the shop calendar weeks
before and the golden promise was
realized when on Monday there
appeared huge orange cake with
the requisite number of golden
candles, and delicious ice cream to
complete the color scheme and
tickle the palates of the apprecia-
tive Craftsmen.
Diligent inquiry as to whose
birthday comes next on the calen-
dar is the best possible evidence
that the treat was thoroughly en-
joyed.

payment of school taxes in New
Castle county, dated under July
81. 1t was drawn up by Edward
G. Bradford, Jr., attorney for the
Levy Court, and is as follows, in
part:
"The school code specifically
provides for the collection of the
school tax at the time that other
county taxes are collected, l am
of the opinion that the collector
may accept the school tax without
the other county taxes from tax
.ables desiring to pay their school
tax on or before August 10 in order
to obtain the 8 per cent rebate.
"No rebate is authorized upon
the capitation tax, and it must be
paid in full as laid. Of course, &C
ceptance of the school tax would
in no way effect the remedies and
procedure for enforcing the col
lection of other taxes. All powers
and remedies for the collection of
other taxes apply equally to the
collection of the school tax"

Has ENJOYABLE Outing

The picnic of the Presbyterian
Sabbath School last Thursday at
the Walsh Tract Green proved to
be success in every particular.
Assembling in front of the church
at 10 o'clock the members of the
school were conveyed to the
grounds in automobiles. Promptly
at IL o'clock noon dinner was serv-
ed with steaming hot coffee made
on the spot, and two hours later

ers from driving out long hits over
! the felders' heads. Later on there
were relay races and tug of war
contests between the boys and
girls. These were directed by
Misses Anna Ritz, Florence Col
bert, Anna Frazer and Alma Dun

sat a crowd of matrons crocheting,
knitting, making "a mile minute"
and discussing domestic affairs.
Before six o'clock in the evening

Glimpses of work done by the
Red Cross in Palestine and some
thing of the topography of that
hallowed region constituted the
characteristic features of a lee

Hall on Monday evening.

tine" was the subject of this inter-
esting talk in the course of which
he paid high tribute to the great
EngEshman whom he declared is
great enough to be placed beside
Moses, David and the great proph-
cts and wise men whom that region
has known. The significance of his
name which Arabians delight in
saying is a combination of Allah
-(God), and Enby prophet), was
pointed out as symbolic of his mis-
sion in that land which the Eng
lish are making beautiful. This
land, he said, is the Homeland
for not only the Jews, but the
Christians, the Moslems, and all
the people of the earth.
Mr.. Finley sketched lightly the
journey thither from this country
through France, Italy, and the
Balkans. He told of the beauty OF
Corfu where the ex-Kaiser had a
beautiful palace on a hilltop which
the democratic Ford car in which
he travelled, refused to climb. He
stopped at Saloniki where Paul
preached and told of a journey by
airplane from the Land of Goshen
to the Promised Land, and of GAIA
which looked like bit of Mosaic
in desert land which God hao
forgotten.
He told of a legend believed by
many dwellers in Palestine that
the Turks would never be driver
out until the waters of the Nile
should run into Palestine. A
strange coincidence has brought
this to pass through the medium
of the railroad passing through
the country and the accompanying
water pipes along the system ul
into Palestine.

Calls for Reservations
in Ratifying Treaty;

| Washington. June 21-The league of
nations controversy in the senate was
enlivened, today, by developments ae-
cepted as foreshadowing the lines into
which the final ratification fight may
fall.
Elihu Root laid before the foreign re-
lations committee program for accept
ance of the league with certain reserva-
tions.
Senator Borah. republican. Idaho.
gave notice in a senate speech that he
could not remain in the republican party

ka, replied that no party dared stand
against the league proposal and declared
the covenant was assured of ratification
by republican votes.

Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, de-
cided to call for a showdown of senate
opinion, Monday. by bringing in his re-
solutions, declaring the treaty cannot be
accepted with the league covenant at
tgched.
OF these developments. the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Root, presented after
conferences with league opponents, at
tracted widest discussion tonight, be-
cause it was regarded as embodying A
plan on which an appeal is likely to be
made for unity of action by all of those
who do not fully approve the Paris
covenant.
The reservations which Mr.. Root sug-
gested should be written into the senate s
ratification resolution would be designed
to soften the nations obligations for
guaranteeing the integrity of foreign
countries and to further safeguard the
Monroe Doctrine, the right of with
drawal from the league and the determi-
nation of domestic problems. These re-
servations could be made, Mr.. Root de-
clared. in harmony with the traditions
of diplomacy and without endangeriny
