HOUSING SITUATION
EASED SOMEWHAT BY
SHIFTING ABOUT
New Corners Have Difficulty
in Finding Homes Here

The housing situation which for
several years has been acute in
Newark shows no signs of improv
ing. Those blessed with sufficient
wealth to enable them to build with
material and labor at any price, are
wary of making this form of in
vestment, and those of limited
means have adopted a policy of
hopeful - not watchful - waiting
for prices to drop. "Hope Springs
Eternal,' etc. but prices still soar
and the popular Gown Your Own
Home movement finds few re-
cruits where the owning also en-
tails building.
The influx of new members of the
Delaware College faculty and of
public school teachers brings the
situation again to notice. One i'm
portant consideration in the choice
OF a teacher for the new Agricul-
ture Course at the High cShool was
whether the applicant was married
or single and the difficulty in hous-
ing married man.
The only present relief for the
situation is crOwding a little closer

somebody moves.

Usually about 1000 people attend the
games, half of them coming from
surrounding towns.
The team representing the big
Webster Groves high school has won

clearly superior to others
Much interest is taken I'M the

mercfal Club, which has promised to
support it heartily this year.

Archbishop Laud.

The assumption of the divine right
of kings to rule was the stumbling
block, or rather the exeetiti0ner's
block, that lost the head Of the one
time archbishop of Canterbury, who,
according to his own statements, was
called to the council OF Charles I.
against his will. Yet he devised and
executed many unwarrantabie revenue
schemes; he, doubtless, believed in the
divine right of kings, and being Op-
posed induced him to concur In many
cruel and arbitrary schemes, to crush
opposition, and to render his master
independent OF parliament. These
schemes succeeded for awhile, but al
length failing, he was impeached, anG
his head cut Off January 10, 1645.

Readers of history recall that, in Or

ascending the Hudson river during the
Revolutionary war, long chain, com.

stretched across the river. 1t had
the desired effect. Portions Of this
chain are yet in existence, some at the

Served u. S. Army for
Forty Out of So Years

For years of service in the United
States army out of the fifty-two
years of his life is the record of
William r. Hager, trainmaster at
Fort George Wright, near Spokane,
Wash. Except for a short time in
Cuba in 1898, and a brief stay on
the Mexican border in 1918, Hager
has spent his entire service with the
army in the northwest, participant
ing in the subjgation of marauding
Indian bands much of that time.
He became herd boy for the army
at the age of twelve. His father
was a freighter at Fort Occur
dAlene, afterwards known as Fort
Sherman, near the present site of
Occur d'Alene, Idaho. His job was
to herd captured Indian ponies near
the fort.
Later he became a freighter and
packer for the army, acrrying sup
plies to the fort or to detached forces
fighting the Indians. When Fort
Sherman was abandoned in 1900,
Hager was transferred to Fort
George Wright, which has been his
station ever since.
Try to make the dishes served of
such size that there will be enough
to satisfy the appetite of the family
and no unnecessary table or plate
waste Don't be ashamed to plan
closely. Thrift in food means pro-
viding enough food, neither too little
nor too much.

Brave American Boy Plays Way
To Freedom From Mexican Bandits

Villistas threatened to attack the

Seaman volunteered to sneak after

the federals boarded the train, leav-

was being taken to Jail as Villista

Rejoining the troops, Seaman
eventually arrived at Parral.
With an American boys proper
pride, Steve refused to act as a
servant to a captain, and the officer
in a rage threw the youngster against
a 'dobe wall and had drawn his gun
to shoot him when soldier friends
interceded.
Then came the battle of May in
which the villistas drove the Carran-
ia garrison from Parral
Steve was captured by Martin Lo-
pei, the Villista tiger man.
Was he afraid? He was not. When
the battle was over, the boy calmly
proposed a game of poker with the
bandit chief. It struck Lopez as
amusing. He admired the lads cool
courage.

what is more, I never pretend

do not assume that physician never

beings, physicians can do no more

DR.. Jerrue's little patients grew
from scores to hundreds and up into
thousands. She found it necessary
to enlist the cooperation of local
hospitals, to which she would take
her charity cases whenever such care
was necessary.
Thus her reputation as a child
specialist began to grow in medi-
cal circles. No other local physi-
clan had had so many cases of child
diseases to observe and to study.
So when other physicians were
confronted with puzzling cases among
the people who could afford to pay
well for their treatment, they would
say:
Better call DR.. Jerrue. She knows
much about child illnesses of this
Sort
Today this young woman finds
her greatest problem in mapping out
a career where she can be of max
imum service. She no longer has
to worry about merely getting
along"
"The very best years of a wom-
ans life" she declares, come be-
tween forty and fifty.
Women at this age have expert
ence, poise, power of thought and
breadth of view. Financial consid-
erations being suitable, the woman
of forty is in an ideal position to
use her knowledge for the benefit of
others. That is what I hope to do"

acre ranch near Los Angeles. Roses

Keep the hens confined to your
own land.
Don't keep a male bird. Hens
lay just as well without male.
Don't overstock your land.
Purchase well-matured pullets
rather than hens.
Don't expect great success in
Matching and raising chicks unless
you have had some experience and
have a grass plot separate from
the yard for the hens.
Build a cheap house or shelter
Make the house dry and free
from drafts, but allow for ventila-
ton.
Fowls stand cold better than
dampness.
Keep house and yard clean.
Provide roosts and dropping
boards.
Provide a nest for each four or
five hens. .....
Grow some green crop in the
yard.
Spade up the yard frequently.
Feed table scraps and kitchen
waste.
Also feed grain once a day.
Feed a dry mash.
Keep hens free from lice and
the house free from mites.
Kill and eat the hens in the fall
when they begin to mott and cease
to lay.
Preserve the surplus eggs pro-
duced during the spring and sum-
mer for use during the fall and
winter when eggs are scarce and
high in price.

New York's Birth Rate
80 Suffers Durinu War

AS result of the war nd other
factors, New York City's birthrate
has been reduced from 24.67 a 1000
in 1917 to 1851 a 1000 in 1918, DR..
S. w. Wynne, assistant chief of the
bureau of records or the department
of health, announced yesterday.
The number of marriages also fell
off from 1892 1000 in 1917 to 9.66
last year. The ban on immigration
and the Strengthened economic con-
dition of the nation both were fact
ors in lowering the marriage rate,
DR.. Wynne said. The influenza cpl
denic also had serious effect on
the birth rate.
A system of sheep farming that is
to be continuously successful can not
ignore either wool or mutton. In
many cases the two products will be
worthy of equal consideration. In
others either one may be emphasized
according to the peculiarities of
conditions, management, and market
in
