Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, June
10th-The Hanley-Page biplane which
is entered for the transatlantic non
stop race made a highly successful trial
flight of one hour and ten minutes
today. With a crew of four under the
command of Vice-Admiral Kerr, the
great airship swept from the ground
and swung in a circle over the town.
She then STATED eastward at great
speed passed over St. Johns and turn
ing south flew back to her starting
point where a faWless landing was
made.
London, June 9th-An Australian trio,
Lieutenants Randle, Madcock and Kings
ford-Smith propose starting a flight from
Hounslow, London, to Australia on We'd
nesday, if the weather is favourable, A
prize of 10, 900 pounds is offered by
the Australian government for the first
flight from Great Britain to Austria
liza. 1t is open only to Australians
flying heavier-than-air machines of
all-British makes. The prize must be
won before the end of December 1920.
The flight from start to finish is not
to occupy more than 720 hours. The
Forthcoming attempt will be made with
a Blackburn Bolls-Royce, aeroplane
spoken of as a Kangaroo. The
only other entrant at present is Bert
Hinkley who will pilot a Sopwith dove
biplane with an eighty horse power
Rhone engine. Hinkley will not be ready
to start simultaneously with the kanga-
roo, but as his is a faster and a lighter
machine an interesting race is possible.
St. Johns, N.F., June 10th.--Indica-
tons tonight were that the Vickers-Vimy
Entrant in the London Daily Nails
Transatlantic flight competition will not
be able to start tomorrow as Capt. AL
cock, pilot of the plane expected after
his successful trial flight yesterday.
U~nfavourable weather conditions repor-
ted to be prevailing in mid Atlantic and
a lack of gasoline of the quality desired,
are the two factors it is expected will
keep the machine in its hangar.

had been so many planes passing
throughout the afternoon and so many
stunts executed and so many evolu.

little attention to the plane driven by
Sergeant Gates when it passed a
short while before the accident. Sud-

body of Gates hurting through space.

WILL HOLD DEMON.
STRATION SALE WEEK
Wilmington Merchants O
Prove City Logical Trade
Center for This Section

Wilmington merchants are ar
ranging to hold Demonstration
Sale Week" from October 18th. to
18TH, for the purpose of demon
strating to the people of the pen
insula and adjacent territory their
ability to care for their purchasing
demands with a greater advantage
to the purchasers than can be Sc
cured by trading with business
houses of other cities. 1t is be-
lieved by them that Wilmington
is the logical trade center for this
State, and for the contiguous ter
ritory of Maryland, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and that it's de-
velopment along this line will be
of great benefit to the people of
the entire section.
Every merchant in Wilmington
is cooperating in the effort to dem
onstrate to the people of Delaware
and the surrounding territory that
they can save time and money
and receive greater satisfaction
through making their purchases
in this city than elsewhere. Buy
ers for Wilmington stores have
been combing the wholesale mark
cts for weeks to secure the best
offerings possible for this week.
The arrangements have been made
made under the auspices of the
Mercantile Section of the Chamber
of Commerce, and everything will
be done to make visitors welcome,
and their visits profitable to them
selves.
While in no sense are the Will
ming ton merchants entering into
competition with the local mer-
chants of other towns, they feel
that there is a steady stream of
trade passing their doors, and it
is their determination to demon
strate thoroughly that in cases
where purchasers cannot secure
what they want in their home
towns, they can shop in Whining
ton with less transportation and
other expense, and receive much
greater satisfaction through better
stocks and better prices. Demon
stration Sale Week will provide
the biggest bargain festival ever
held in this section of the country.

"STAY IN SCHOOL" SAYS
CHILDRENS BUREAU
Pamphlet Shows Increased
Earning Capacity
AS Result

In pamphlet issued recently by the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, a message is delivered to
the boys and girls of America urging
them to stay in school and proving by
timely comparison of the weekly
earnings of children who left school
at fourteen, the end Of grammar
school with those of boys who left
school at IS, the end of high school.
With the admonition, Boys and
Girls stay in school! Train for the
Future! the Department makes the
following explanatory statement:
"Children should stay in schoo! as
long as possible because education
means Eetter jobs.
Boys and girls who go to ,lk at
the end of grammar school rarely get
good jobs. The work they find to do
il usually unskilled; it offers little
training or chance for advancement
When they are older they End that
they are still unframed for the skilled
work which offers future. Education
means higher wages.
Many boys and girls when they
leave school find work that offers a
high wage for the beginner. But these
wages seldom grow because the work

Fall Sowing Best Tor A.
bundant Grass on Lawn

If you desire a greensward that is
slightly, attractive, healthy, and cap
able of producing an abundant growth
from early spring until late fall with
out developing unsightly bare spots
or brown, scared turf, sow your grass
seed in the fall and sow it early
enough, so that the grass plot will
make sufficient growth to weather the
winter in a rugged, robust condition.
This information is intended particu-
larly for lawn makers in Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, and
Tennessee, and other States in the
same latitude where the common but
unsatisfactory method>of spring seed,

Y. w. 6. A. HAS CAM
DELIGHT SERVICE.
DR.. Joseph H. Odell Gives
Helpful and Interesting
Talks

Sunday evening the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association re-
ceived into membership seventy
six new girls, the largest number
in it's history. This splendid be-
ginning makes the Cabinet jubi-
liant in the belief that the associa-
tion has before it the best year it
has ever had.
The impressive candlelight SER
vice was used Sunday evening. To
the inspiring strains of the
"Hymn of the Lights" Madeleine
iDixon, the Vice-President, entered,
Heading a procession of white clad
tgirls, all bearing lighted candles.
The President, Helen Bishop ex-
planned that the tiny candles sig
nified the flame of selfish desire in
each girls life. After the candles
were extinguished everyone re-
peated the purpose. The act SYM
bolized the giving up of the self
love of each girl when she joins
the association. Then as she relit
each little candle from a big light
representing the association, Miss
Bishop urged the girls to brighten
their lives with the clear flame of
Christian fellowship and service.
The association was very for
tunate in securing as the speaker
DR.. Odell of the Service Citizens
Of Delaware. He took as his text
the line which says concerning
Herod, "He set Christ at naught." "
DR.. Odell explained that in every
ones scheme of life, the things a
man loved best and thought most
}of made up the sum of his life.
With some men the hundred per
cent is made up of ninety per cent
selfish ambition, five per cent plea
sure, five per cent vanity. They
set Christ at naught. He said that
each girl had the chance to decide
what things she put into her plan
of life. To count Christ in
would not crowd out pure and
beautiful things but only the hide
Gus, evil thoughts and deeds. Our
environment as DR.. Odell express
ed it, is decided not by where we
are but by what we think and by
having pure lovely thoughts we
can fill our real lives with great
beauty and peace.

A position with Il future and stead
ilv Increasing wages requires schooi
II aiming.
The table submitted shows that 1he
average earnings per week Of those
who left school at IA was at the time
of the completion of statistics S4.oo a
week. while the average earnings at
25 wears of age was $12.75; boys who
finished high school started with an
average weekly wage of $40 and were
receiving $31 at the age OF 20 years.
The total salary earned by the former
until his 25th year is $5,112.5O; by the
later $7,337.5O.
At 25 years of age the boy who had
remained at school until Is had receiv-
cd over $4,000 more salary than tbS
boy who left at ID, and was then re-
ceiving over 5000 Year more.
This is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at per cent. Can a boy
increase his capital as fast any other
way?
From this time on the salary Of the
better educated boy will rise still more
rapidly, while the earnings of the boy
who left school at IA will increase but
little.
Although the wages paid now are
much higher than when this study
was made, the comparison remains the

DELAWARE HOLDS
F. &. M. TO SCORE
LESS TIE
Carter Brothers and Harmar
Star for Home Team

In the opening game Of the
season last Saturday, the football
team played Franklin and Marshall
to a scoreless tie. The weather
was much too warm for football
and the game was not so fast as
it would have been if it had been
cooler. This may account for the
fact that the Delaware team did
not make as good showing as had
been expected.
The Franklin and Marshall team
was somewhat heavier than the
Blue and Gold squad, but the Della
ware team offset this disadvantage
with fine showing of grit and
fighting spirit that held their rivals
at standstill every time they
threatened to score.
Delaware was quite successful
with the forward pass and they
used it for several substantial
gains. One pass, McCaughn to G..
Carter, was good for forty yards.
The individual star for Delaware
was Harmer. Harmer was put in
the game in the third quarter and
several times threatened to break
away for touchdown. He got away
once for sixty yards, right down
the side lines. He is a speedy
runner and has a good straight
arm which he uses to good advan-
tage.
The Carter brothers-Grey and
Bayard-put up a stellar game at
tackles. Their work of snatching
forwards was all that could be de-
sired. Foulk at end and McCaughn
at half, also put up good games.
McCaughn did the punting for
Delaware and some of his kicks
were good for fifty yards.
For F. and M. Newcome at full,
and May at quarter, were the stars.
Their best work was on the often
sive. Mays made a clever tackle
when he stopped Harmer on his
sixty-yard run.

LOCAL DELEGATES
ATTEND RED CROSS
CONFERENCE
Hear Peace Time Program
Outlined and Activities
Discussed

Maxwell, Miss Anderson, Mrs. E.
B. Wright and Mrs. c. B. Evans
were delegates to the Red Cross
peace reconstruction meeting at
the Hotel DUPONT on Thursday.
The meeting was an all day con-
ference called together by the
Observation-Disclosures Division
and made plans for their peace
time activities and for the Third
Red Cross Roll Call which will
take place early in November and
be completed before Armistice
Day, November II.
Nursing and Public Health,
First Aid, Junior Membership and
Home Service were discussed at
the morning session. Luncheon
was served at 1890 in the Grill
Room and the remainder of the
meeting was held there.
In discussion concerning "The
Membership Drive" the delegates
were urged to take home the mess
| age that in the next Roll Call,
every adult and every child should
consider it not merely an act of
patriotism or charity but a duty to
belong to the Red Cross and to
pay the membership dues. They
were urged to give special atten-
ition to the Junior Branch upon
whom the future of the organiza-
Ition will depend.
An inspiring address was de-
ilivered at the close of the lunch
con by DR.. Thomas E. Green, di-
rector of the speakers bureau of
national headquarters at Washing
ton.
! He told of the stupendous work
accomplished during the war and
of the hopes for a re-enrollment
of the present membership and an
accession sufficient to raise
fund of Is million dollars for re-
construction. The nature of the
work to be done he told in an in
teresting manner. The needs of
the Army of Occupation; of de-
wasted Europe; of the physically
unfit in America as disclosed by
Army findings when 35 per cent of
the first four million men called
were rejected; of Americas illit-
crates disclosed in the same way
when out of the first two million,
100000 could neither read nor
write. He stated in this connec-
tion that there are in America
seven and a half million people,
over 16 years of age who can
neither read nor write English or
any other language, 20 per cent of
these native-born white Ameri-
cans.
During the 19 months of war
$4,000 of our men were killed in
action by the enemy. During the
same 10 months 100000 American
babies died. This stupendous
diminution of vital power is unne-
cessary and could be prevented if
as much care were taken of hu-
man life as of breeding pigs and
registering dogs, he said. These
together with the control of con-
sumption, typhoid and venereal
disease, were some of the things
which in his opinion the Red Cross
should take stand against, bold
ly and without apology. In closing
he said:
What influence other than an
organization such as the Red Cross
can face and master problems such
as these? 1t does not aim to dis
place the government; it does what
the government cannot do. It
does not aim to displace the
church; it does what the church
has not done. It does not aim r.
