A Watch-Night Prayer

Almighty God, Father of all
mankind, at the end of year in
which malice has SO often thwart-
ed love, we join the prayers Of all
Thy children around the world for
peace, the elevation of justice and
of brotherhood.
Thou Creator, possessor of all
things, Who didst make the earth
for the races of men and didst set
bounds for their habitation, for
give us our greed as we repent of
our sin, and restore to all hearts
the recognition of the transcend
ent right of human life to live.
Open our eyes, we beseech Thee,
to the dignity of labor, the sacred
ness of human service, and the
privileges of production, that ma
tion may join nation in honest
work to replenish devasted earth.
Newark post., 1919-12-31

Quicken the sympathy of hearts
made dull by reports and sights of
suffering, incomprehensible and
needless.
Call us again that we may bow
before the eternal laws of crea-
ton, putting aside malice, envy,
covetousness and brutality, to en-
ter into the peace of the sons of
the Most High.
Hasten by Thy gracious provi-
dence and by the consecrated eff
forts of Thy children the coming
of Thy worldwide kingdom where
justice, mercy and love shall rule
the hearts and hands of men.
Create in US, o Lord, clean
hearts, and renew right spirits for
the coming year.
This we ask in the spirit of
Jesus Christ, our only Hope. A
men!

American Legion Keeps Busy

The American Legion is prepar-
ing to supplement it's work of pro-
footing America abroad by help
ing save America at home. 1t is
organizing practical warfare on
anarchists and anahchism. Every
post in this city is directed to form
teams to keep tab" on the Reds.
There will be four teams sent out
by every post-one each on radical
speakers, radical press, education
and deportation. The names of
the teams suggest the various lati-
tudes of activity.
Caution against direct action is
advised, and we'll so. In prelimin-
airy efforts to combat anti-Ameri-
canism nothing should be done
which might run counter to law
and order. "Fair Play!" is the
battle cry, and the use of consti-
tutional means of government is
the programme. If Americans seek
to teach law and order and consti-
tutional liberty they themselves
must keep within the law and the
constitution. If there is to be
violence let it first come from the
enemies of the country. The law
and the authorities then will deal
with the offenders.
The work which members of the
Legion are undertaking is distinct
ly in line with the purposes Of
that organization. It is formed to
preserve and to promote Ameri-
canism, and in it's activities against
anarchism and anarchists it will
have the support of all patriotic
Americans.

Warns Against Wearing
Army Uniform

The military authorities at
Washington have issued warning
against men not in the Army or
National Guard wearing the sold
ier's uniform. Attention is called
to section 1875, Act of Congress,
approved June 3, 1916, which pro-
vides that violators shall be fined
not more than $500, or imprison-
ment not exceeding six months, or
both penalties may be inflicted.
This law does not affect members
of the National Guard, cadets or
actors. 1t is provided that no stage
artist shall wear the uniform in
any. act or play which would dis
credit the Army, Navy or Marine
Corps. The Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca and the Naval Militia are also
exempt from the order.
A member of the Army may
wear his uniform three months
after the date of discharge, but
not after that time, unless such
garb is worn at ceremonies.

Former Member of Faculty
10 Succeed Professor Short

Howard W. Preston has been
elected Professor of Mathematics
and Engineering in Delaware Col
lege to succeed Professor Clarence
A. Short, resigned. AS Professor
Preston taught most acceptably
these subjects in Delaware for five
ears before the war, his return
will be especially pleasing to
faculty, students, and alumni.
Professor Preston is a strong and
inspiring teacher. He is a gradu-
ate of the Civil Engineering De-
partment of Lafayette College in
the class of 1909, where he also
taught for two years. In 1912 he
became a member Of the faculty
of Delaware College, teaching ma
thaematics and engineering. When
the war broke out, he gave his
services to the government as an
engineer and was employed in
building the great munition plant
near Nashville, Tennessee. After
the armistice he was connected
with the State Highway Commits
sion of New Jersey as engineer in
charge of the district around AS
bury Park. He returns, therefore,
to Delaware College greatly en-
riched by his engineering expert
ences. Professor Preston will en-
ter upon his duties at Delaware
College on February l, 1920.

In telling the story she occa-

One of them was:

Know What You Can Do

People make surprising success
es without the aid of education !;
but whatever they are ignorant of,
they must know themselves. Young
people applying for positions are
asked if they can do certain things,
and it is surprising how often the
answer comes, 81 don't know"
They have no idea what their
capital is. A knowledge of our
limitations is worth something.
A knowledge of our capacities is
worth everything. Make it your
business to know what you can do.

tended a farewell dinner given by
Willard Humphrey to his fratern-

Something new in the way of
social affairs is promised this year
when on January 80, the Juniors
will hold the annual Prom in the
Ball Room of the Hotel dupont in
Wilmington. This is the first col
lege dance held outside Newark.
Tonkin, president of the Junior
class, announced the plans for the
affair at the Tuesday chapel meet
ing and asked how many students
would attend. About $50 men
showed their intention of being
present, a number which guaran-
tees the success of the affair and
shows clearly the need of the large
floor for the dance.
The dupont Ball Room is, in it's
appointments, the rival of any such
room in the country. 1t accomo-
dates $50 couples. In addition to
the Ball Room, the DuBarry room,
the rest room and the parlor ad-
joining the Ball Room, will be
given over to the dancers.
The dance will be stricly a Del
aware College affair, for the Jun
iors have decided that no outsiders
shall be admitted, thus setting an
other new precedent for Junior
Proms.
The holding of the dance at Will
mington has been. greeted with
hearty favor not only by the stud
ents, but by Dean Winifred J. Rob-
inson of the Women's College, and
by the Social Committee of the
Faculty. To further the success
of the affair, too, the Faculty has
decided to change the schedule of
the mid-year exams so that there
shall be no college work on Satur-
day, January 81. This arrange
ment will make the dance a fitting
celebration for those who have sue
cessfully finished their mid-years,
as we'll as a jovial "swan song"
for the unfortunate ones who have
failed to stand the gaff.
The price of the dance has been
fixed at $4.00 per couple.

Students May Strike.

Cedar Rapids, Sept. 1S.-Dissatisfac-
ton and unrest among the high school
students over the longer hours imposed
on them this year continues to grow
and with 500 names on the petition
asking shorter hours, students say
there are rumors of a strike and walk
out from classes if their request is not
granted or some concessions made.
A concession of ten minutes has
been made by the high school officials
saia one Of the students yesterday. Il
Is that school will take up five minutes
later IN the morning and close five
minutes earlier at the noon hour.
This, however. is so little as to not
be recognized by the students as meet
ing their requests. The petition asks
that increase in length Of class periods
inaugurated this year be abolished and
that school begin at S:45 a. m. instead
Of $50, and continue with only forty
minute periods. Under the new plan
started this year the periods are fifty
five minutes long. school beginning at
$50 a. m. and closing at $40 p. m.

Waterloo, Sept. lS.-Members of the
board of arbitration chosen by Cover
nor W. L. Harding to investigate the
labor conditions in the Waterloo Case
lene Engine Company, made an appeal
to the officers of the concern to make
some concessions to the employees, in
submitting their report on the in
vestigation Wednesday.
The members of the board held that
the disturbed industrial situation was
due to lack of recognized mutually Of
interest on the part of the parties in
volved.
The board submitted comprehen-
sive report, the summary Of which fol-
lows:
This disturbed Industrial situation
is wholly due to lack of recognized
mutually OF interest on the part Of the
parties to this controversy. The work
men may have been hasty in resorting
to the extreme strike alternative. They
certainly are to blame II they failed
to exercise available resource for
reasonable understanding with their
employers. II would appear from the
record the employer made a serious
mistake in falling to recognize the
Importance of exhausting every ex-
pedient In the endeayor to keep the
wheels Of industry in motion. Accord
ing to the evidence, they should have
considered the appeals and PROPOSE
lions Of the men. They should have
taken up seriously and frankly the
complaints and requests submitted in
the hope of avoiding eruption.
Tho board is Of the opinion it can
offer the Waterloo Gas Engine Com
pany no better advice-do it no better
service than by appealing to its spirit
OF enterprise and equity, its pride in
community progress, its sense of self
interest, to the end that the doors Of
the plant may be opened to their men,
