LIGHTS GO LOW

Wilmington developed a sudden en-.
thusiasm for walking as a healthful ex.
ercise last night. at the supper hour
Several hundreds Of persons hlkeC
across Washington street bridge, Other
hundreds trekked across Market street
bridge, while Fourth street hin re.
sounded TO the tramp OF marching feet
and the song OF the brogans was heard
down French street. The impromptu
parades were due 10 the fact that the
trolley cars laid down on the Job about
$50 o'clock. The tie-up continued for
about three-quarters Of an hour, so far
as the cars were concerned.
The downtown corners were black
with people waiting for home-bound
cars. The cars themselves were crowd
ed. As the waiting grew prolonged,
cars were deserted while the ranks OF
the pedestrians grew.
The trouble was caused by an ex-
ceptlonally fast tidal ebb, which for a
time deprived Brandywine Power House
Of water power, leaving nothing but
leaves and mud in the intake. The city
lighting system was crippled for an
hour and twenty minutes. Every effort
was made by Superintendent OF Power
c. $. McGill, TO prevent total darkness
In the city. Distribution Of power to
points outside the city was tempor-
arily stopped, and with the aid Of aux
iliary machines conditions were restored
TO normal at 647 O'Clock.

Bank clearings for November set a
new high mark for the month at 293iO
million dollars compared with 3207S
million dollars a month ago and 27.229

being nearly per cent. Clearings out

395 million dollars a year ago, the in

than One-hah OF the large cities Of the
country set new high records in clear

Business failures during November
numbered only 500 compared with GA
failures the month before and 972 fail
ures In November 1917. Total liabilities
Of the failed concerns were less than
y million dnlla~s c6mnared with slight

and slightly over ~ million dollars in
November OF last year. There have
never been so few business failures In
any month since the panic period Of
1893, a full quarter century ago. In
the readjustment OF business to peace

When Miss Muffet visited the food
show she ate seven different kinds

pounds OF sample packages. Then
she stepped on The free Weighing
machine and found that her weight
had increased 10 per cent; whereas
II she had eaten twice as much

been eleven per cent.
Can you tell how much Miss Muf-

The change from the old lady's
