MILFORD BANKER AC-
CEPTS TREASURERSHIP
OF LOCAL BANK
John c. Truitt, A Former
Newark Resident To AS
sumo Duties May IL

At a recent meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Farmers Trust
Co., John G. Truitt, assistant cashier
of the First National Bank of Milford
was offered the treasurership to sue
ceed H. E. Vinsinger, who resigned to
accept the position of office manager
for the Krebs Chemical Co., of New
port.
He is well known to many Newark
residents, having resided here for sew
eral years while attending Delaware
College. Those who have been asso-
ciated with him in business pay high
tribute to his astuteness and his thor
ough knowledge of the banking busi-
ness. Men of affairs in Southern
Delaware who know of Mr.. Truitt's
achievements in settling up estates
and in handling other financial affairs
consider the local Trust Co. fortunate
indeed and predict for him success
full administration of bank affairs
here.
The Milford Chronicle comments
thus upon his leaving:
Twenty three years and six months
ago John c. Trutit entered the First
National Bank of Milford as a clerk
and during that time was promoted
through the various stages up to that
of assistant cashier. Mr.. Truitt is yet
young man and one Of the most cap
able bankers in this part of Delaware,
and he could not afford to turn down
the handsome offer of the Farmers
Trust Company at Newark, Delaware,
of its treasurership when it was offer
ed to him recently. He goes to them as
treasurer and he"salary is more than
double~that paid by the.First National
Bank, where he has been for nearly
"a years. He will move his family to
Newark as soon as suitable resi-
dence can be secured. So far as
known, his position at the Milford
bank has not been filled by the direc-
tors.

MEMBERSHIP CON-
MITTEE FOR Y.M.C.A.
REPORT 1lS
May Meeting Will Probably
Be Held in the
Armorv

At the call of the temporary chair
man, Francis A. Cooch, a meeting. of
those interested in the new Y. M. G. A.
movement was held in the High School
building on last Thursday evening to
year reports of the membership COM
mittee and that on securing quarters.
In spite of the fact that another i'm
portant meeting was being held at the
same time the attendance was very
gratifying and augured we'll for the
success of the movement.
The membership committee handed
in 113 pledges, Francis Lyndell hav-
ing secured 26 of these.
George Medill, chairman of the
committee on securing quarters, read
a communication from the State Ar
mory Commission in which they
agreed to allow the Association the
use of the building provided the latter
furnish, heat, light, water, repairs,
and panitor's fee. This special COM
mittee was retained to make final ar
rangements for using the Armory as
temporary headquarters.
The first Tuesday in May was chos-
en- as the next meeting date, when it is
hoped the Armory will be used for the
first time.
The matter of electing a board of
directors was discussed. 1t was de-
cided to defer that action until the
next meeting when it is hoped that a
larger number will be in attendance
The temporary organization and those
who are boosting the movement are
anxious to have all who have signed
up as members and all who are inter.
ested attend the next meeting, wher
1t is expected that final organization
Will be effected. This is one of the
biggest altruistic movements that car
be undertaken by any community ant
it should therefore have the whole
hearted support of every citizen.

Sigma Nu To Purchase
Rose Residence

Negotiations will probably be
brought to a close tomorrow for
the transfer of the beautiful D. G.
Rose home on South College Ave-
nue to the Sigma NJ Fraternity.
Although the trustees of Della
ware College have requested, by
resolution, that all fraternity
houses be located on the college
campus the Sigma NJ Fraternity
had decided to locate it's quarters
elsewhere.
After the Rose residence had
been viewed by many members of
the fraternity negotiations for it's
purchase were started with the
above result.
The building has every advant-
age of arrangement and location to
commend it for use as a fraternity
house.

Vote for Floyd E. Thompson for
Justice of the Supreme Court
of Illinois
A County Issue.

There is no partisan question involved in
the election of justice of the supreme court
in the Fourth district next Tuesday beyond
that which has been injected by a gerrymander
intended to make the highest judicial body in
the state practically a one-party affair. Three
times since that was done the people have re-
pudiated the act by eIecting Democrats.
A vote for Floyd Thompson will be vote
against craftsmanship which has over-reached
itself in effort to provide a sinecure for a
Republican regardless of the possible effect
upon the bench. That is reason enough to sup
port the Democratic candidate, whose qualifi-
cations for the office nobody has questioned.
And there is another reason. This county is
the most important in this judicial district,
but 1t has no circuit Judge. 1t is the most i'm
portant county in this senatorial district and
it has no member of the house of representa-
tives. 1t is the most important county in this
congressional district and it is without resi-
dent congressman. 1t is the most important
county in the Fourth judicial district and never
has had member on the supreme bench.
Is it not strange that we have been con-
sistently ignored?
In the coming election the voters will have
an opportunity to say whether they approve
of that sort of treatment

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Can parents predetermine the sex
of children? We have three boys
and we always wanted a girl.
J. e. B.
Answer-No. Alas, If you want a
boy ever so much, it is almost GER
tain to be a girl. But for the life of
me / can't see that you have any
cause to complain.

Answer-No.
When Is Floating Kidney.
Two doctors said 4 had a floating
kidney, but the last one l consult
ed told me there is no such thing
that the kidney is anchored. Is the
operation for displaced kidney a
serious one? MRS. Z. II. r.
Answer-If the fat of the body is
wasted it may not support the kid
news well, and so in a very spare
woman the kidney may be abnor-
maIly movable. But as a rule this
causes no particular trouble. Pro-
longed rest-cure, with dieting to IN
crease the weight is advisable;
and an abdominal supporter may
be worn with benefit until the nee
essary gain in weight is accom-
plished. The operation is serious
because it is always a gamble
whether it will prove beneficial.

standing with you whatever, I pro-
tected your Philippine islands
from being seized by GERMANY
which would have necessitated Won
to divide your army, split your
navy, and put your force in the
orient to defend yourselves. thus
lessening your strength at Europe.
In turn for this ask you to yield
to the request of Britain and
France and recognize my rights in
your land upon the same equality
as those nations are permitted by
you
The senator pointed out that for
US to decline would make it neces-
sary for increased armies and
navies to defend ourselves against
what would be the retaliation by
Gentlemen, without any under
ton. against their people. 1t now
develops that the very things he
warned the nations would arise
haye sprung up and in the very
manper he prophesied would be the
danger. Newspapers at the CAPT.
tai and officials OF both houses OF
congress have now called atten-
ton to his constant warnings and
speeches and regretted their past
condemnations of him and partic-
ularly deplore that they regarded
those speeches untimely and harm
full. They all now admit that had
more attention been paid TO the
prospect of danger, arrangements1
could have been made with Japa
before she entered the war.

situation.
Lately, when the senator made
his speech on the league OF ma
tons, replying TO the attacks upon
it, he pointed out that the league
was necessary for our own peace
as well as for the. peace Of the
world, and warned the country TO
beware and prepare for the pros
pect of Japan and China entering
into alliance with the new-formed
Russia and the newly-organiZe
Germany, all against the United
States and such European friends
as she had in the war.

The Relief of Blackheads.

AS explained in a previous talk,
biackheads are caused by inactivity
and confinement to too much in
doors At time of life when physi-
cal freedom and the open air and
sunlight should be especially culti-
waited.
One subject to blackheads .(come-
dones) should attempt to counter
act the evil consequences of mac
uVity and insufficient exposure to
sunlight as much as possible. Reg
ular daily physical exercises should
be taken, night and morning, with
out restraining clothing, in a room
with at least one open window. The
diet should be preferably OF the
coarsest natural foods, which are
helpful for the constipation and di-
gestive disturbances so generally
accompanying blackheads; diet,
water and regular habit should con-
troll the action of the bowels, and
not physics. Boys afflicted with
boiled shirts and laundered collars
and similar affectations should dis
card them and adopt free and easy
flannel or outing shirts with soft
collars or no collars. OF course,
sweet little pointed soies and such
things must be left for the cigaret-
smoking sissies, too. Girls so mis-
guided and deluded as to imagine
corsets an essential part Of a lady's
attire must omit the corsets and
the high-heefed shoes and endeavor
to be girls-for there are already
too many limitations OF chorus Ia
dies.
Every alternate evening the af-
fected part of the skin should re-
ceive hot green soap and water
bath. Following this the blackheads
should be gently pressed out on a
clean soft handkerchief or towel be-
tween the fingers, but pinching suf-
flcient to cause discoloration or
soreness should be avoided. The
renders the expression q the come
dones easier.
After they have been removed,
again battle the skin we'll with hot
water, this time using tablespoon
full of boric acid in a basin of water.
Then before retiring apply this To-
ton: Equal parts of sublimed sui
phur, glycerin, alcohol. compound
tincture of lavender, and camphor
water tabout> an ounce of each of
the five ingredients). This lotion
must be well agitated and then ap-
piled with the~fingers, allowed to
dry on, and washed away in the
morning.
The green soap suggested for
bathing the face is officially known
as Sapo mollis U. S. P.-the soft
soap employed by surgeons and
nurses. 1t is preferable because it
