"Curfew Shall Ring" Say the
Cuuchiuorc

Urging a vigorous campaign in be-
half of the curfew law for Wilmington,
the Alert Branch of the Sunshine Socie-
ty has appointed a committee to ask
Mayor Taylor to issue a proclamation
requesting ministers of all creeds and
races to set aside Sunday, October Goth.
as a Curfew Law Sunday.
From time immemorial," the stand
a curfew law or regulation has been
generally observed, and it is quite in
teresting to trace the development of
the idea, and to note the change of at
titude in its observance.
In ancient times in Europe, the cur
few consisted of an evening bell rung
as a signal for the people. to cover up
the fires, put out their lights n to
retire to rest. The object of the cur
few was to protect against fires, as con-
~fagrations were then very frequent and
destructive owing to the fact that all
dwellings were constructed out of wood.
The time of ringing these bells was
sunset in summer and 8 o'clock in win
ter. 1t is said that William the Con-
queror introduced the curfew bell in
England.
Beginning as a fire prevention meas
ure, the curfew was seized upon by
the Puritans as a method of enforcing
their strict rules as to onduc and
morals. AS such it was introduced into
New England, and with other customs
of the doleful and misery-loving Puri-
tan fathers, it became thoroughly hated
and despised, and mas come on down to
the present time with the same oppro-
brium which has chung to the blue laws
and the stocks.
A new attitude has now arisen in re-
spect to the curfew law-that of a
method of taking are of young girls
and boys who may be found on the
streets late at night. With this atti-
tude all good folks are in accord, as
there seems to be need of such restric-
ton in this city following the growth
in size and the laxity arising from the
hurry and hub-dub of war.
The committee selected by the Sun
shine Society to see Mayor Taylor con-
sists of Mrs. j. Edward Wilson, Mrs.
Charles E. Slocomb and Mrs. John T.
LIZ Carpenter. The Alert Branch is
also laying plans for a home which will
be used to take care of the children
coming under their charge from the
Juvenile Court and for a Detention

$500, 900 For Colored Schools

Pierre S. DUPONT, vice president of the
Delaware Board of Education, on Mon
day announced in a letter to the State
school auxiliary association the gift of
$500, 600 to rebuild every rural school
for negro pupils in Delaware. This
gift supplements that made by dupont
several months ago of 50, 900, 900 turned
over to the auxiliary association to as
sist in rebuilding schools for white and
negro children.
This gift will place the negro schools
of Delaware far in advance of any
other group of negro schools in
America.
Mr.. dupont believes in a higher in
telligence for workmen, both for white
and colored. His gift will bear much
fruit in future years, if the benefac-
tors will bear in mind hat education
means more efficient workmen and not
a scheme to get rid of work as many
think.

OVER THE RIVER
Noted Chemist Dies

William Osborne Quay1e. Manager of
the Inspection Division of the Chemi-
cal Department of the duPont Company
died suddenly of heart disease while
calling upon friends in, Wilmington on
Saturday.
Mr.. Quayle was one of the important
men in Chemical Department Of the
dupont Company and had an enviable
record in his profession. He was born
in Cleveland, Ohio, and was a graduate
of the Case School of Applied Science,
and for a number of years after his
graduation was an instructor of chem
istry in that institution.
Later he was with the Midland Chem
ical Company at Midland, Michigan.
While with the Midland Chemical Com
pany he did most important work in
developing their manufacture of chlor-
oform. He vas an expert on the con-
tact process of manufacturing sulphuric
acid and designed the first contact sui
phuric acid plan ever built without the
use of lead.
In these and other lines of his pro-
fession he had achieved g. notable sue
cess and was an important factor in
the Chemical Department of the duPont
Company. He was widely known and
was popular not only with his immedi-
ate associates, u with the great mum
Der of men with whom he had come in
contact during his eleven years service
with the uPont organization. His
splendid character, fine personality and
helpfulness endeared him to the men
with whom he worked and the an
nouncement of his death caused a wide
spread sorrow among the many who
had known and loved him.
DR.. C. L. Reese, chemical director Of
the DUPONT Company, and his chief,
paid him a fine tribute. HE was al
ways loyal; always dependable and a
brilliant and resourceful chemist said
DIR. Reese. Personally he was one of
the gentlest and kindest of men who
won a universal regard among us all.
We respected and loved him and his
death came as a great shock"
Mr.. Quayle is survived by a widow
and one son.

DeIaware's Trust Mill Profitable

New Jersey use to be called the
Mother of Trusts because corporations
unlimited could get charters from the
State for every conceivable purpose to
exploit their gullibles, until Woodrow
Wilson had the Sever Sisters laws

countable for honesty in investments.
The Republican legislatures following
have never plotted out Wilson by
daring to repeal these laws.

against his ribs, but fed when he
grabbed a pump shotgun. They
jumped into an automobile waiting
on North Sixth street and escaped.
Thursday night at 10 the same

proprietor and eight men at the pool
tables, got $40 from the cash drawer
and small change from the men in

watches and a bunch of keys carried
by Mortensen. The bandits walked
out of the store with great delibera-
ton, threatening to kill any man who
attempted to follow them. They got
into a car that was waiting within
half a block and disappeared.
An hour or more later the same
men held up Harry Knauss, barber

reached Twelfth street and Twenty

They got nothing, as their victim
had no money or valuables.
