"DELAWAR4" LOSING GOOD MEN
President Mitchell Tells SJud.nt Rody
of College OF "After-War" COndi-
tons and Demand for Men.

The executive committee of the
Board of Trustees of Delaware College
met Saturday morning to consider the
filling of the several vacancies caused
by recent designations. Three appoint
ments will have to he made, one TO
succeed Dean Harry Hayward, agri-
cultural department; one to succeed
Dean Allan R. Cullimore, of the engi-
neering department, and one TO sue
ceed Professor C. A. Short, engineer
ing department. Only one vacancy
was filled. Prof. McCue was elected
to succeed Dean Haywood of the
agricultural department. President
Mitchell of Delaware College. in ex-
planning the recent designations and
alleged friction at Delaware College
spoke to the student body Thursday.
He pointed out that Delaware College,
like many other educational institu-
tions, is Iosing valued professors
through inability to meet the competi-
tion of the Industries for men. "Our
faculty compares favorably with the
bet set Of instructors in the coun-
try" said DR.. Mitchell, "and we
would be very unfortunate if we did
not have men who were wanted else
where. We must rejoice in the benefit
we have received thus far from these
able men. Such rejoicing should con-
tinue when we know that Dean Cul-
limore, who is resigining, will leave
behind him an outline for the continu-
alce of his system of making engi-
neers." The Board of Trustees Of the
college have already received several
applications for the positions made
vacant by the three designations. Of
these, requests from former profes-
sors who left during the war have
been received. Doctor Mitchell eau
toned the students to use care dur
ing the present emergency, attribut-
ing conditions to be an after-war re-
salt.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC At AS3URY.
-Four Anthems and a Duett and Strong
Xmas Sermons, Feature Of Sun
day.-Children's Exercises.

Sunday was christmas Sunday" at
Asbury M. E. Church and it was a
notable day. A clear sky, cold and
crisp, with the ground covered with
the first snow of the season gave the
touch of winter outside while inside
the Christmas decorations gave the
spirit of Christmas. Beginning with
the exercises i'll the Sunday School at
10 o'clock interesting and inspiring
music and sermons marked the entire
day. The little tots were in charge
of Miss Mary Roberts and Miss Rena
Williams, while the primary school
was in charge of Mrs. Walter Hof-
fecker and Miss Elizabeth Mcdowell.
Other parts were a solo by Miss May
Thompson, a recitation by the little
Heathcote girl. The music was in
charge of Mr.. w. o. Hoffecker ard the
orchestra under the direction of Mr..
Harry Shapley. Four anthems were
sung by the choir at the regular
church services. During the offertory
there was a well rendered duet by
Miss Mary Roberts and Mr.. L. NJ.
Price. The subject of the Pastors
sermon was: "The Guidance of the
Star" In the evening a program of
Christmas music and reading was
given in the Epworth League. At the
preaching service more anthems were
sung followed by a sermon by DR.. w.
A. Wise, the District Superintendent.

tire wedding party only the bride and
groom are living. The house was
very prettily decorated with holly,
ferns and Christmas greens. The
bride and groom were seated. sur
rounded by ferns and greens, and re-
ceived the congratulations of their
many friends with cheerful smiles. A
basket used to decorate the dining
table was the one used 80 years ago

anniversary. Mr.. and Mrs. Holten
were the recipients of a number of
beautiful gifts, among them being
some checks and a purse of gold,
making it indeed a golden wedding"

Will BE Erected at -Four Corners"

A feature Of the Christmas holidays
will be the Community Christmas
Tree" rendered financially possible
by ladies of the Century Club and the
merchants of Smyrna. The tree will
be placed in the centre of the "Four
Corners" Main and Commerce streets,
the same as last year, and will be
lighted by electricity. Besides the
red, white and blue lights which will
be woven thru the trees, there will be
an innovation at the top in a huge
gold star. This star will be electri-
cally lighted and will be visable to
either entrance of Main or Commerce

LAST Of EQUIPMENT FOR
ELECTRIC PLANT ARRIVES
FASTENING INSTALLATION OF
SECOND TURBINE-ENGINE UNIT.
Should be Complete by January 1st.-
Much Work Yet to Be Done on
Pole Line.-Current For Power.

The last of the equipment, includ-
ing the additional circulating pump.
has arrived at the Smyrna Electric
Light Plant, and work is being hast
ened in installing the second 100 k. w.
unit which will bring with it regularly
established day current. The pumps
arrived Saturday and nothing is now
in the way, so far as material is con-
cened, to impede progress. The old
engine and dynamos, the last of the
Out-Of-date 1873 cycle equipment, was
hauled away last week and the foun-
dation is being laid for the new tur-
bine. This it is hoped will be complete
this week. The matter Of installing
the other turbine is only matter of
about a week and the service should
be ready. There has been no solution
yet to get the sufficient quantity Of
water necessary fro the condenser,
but plan is being worked cut to
make each unit separate and distinct
as to water supply, when it is hoped
to overcome the trouble in securing
and maintaining the vacuum required
to do economical work. There is much
yet to be done on the pole line but bad
weather has held up this work. The
street lights will all be put on a
separate circuit and new ornamental
lamps will be placed all over town.
The arms, refectors and full equip
ment is here and ready to install.
Clayton which has been enjoying the
service a week or more, is delighted,
although their street light equipment
is not all installed. Neither are all
the houses wired. All the buildings
and grounds of St. Joseph's Industrial
School are yet to be wired. When day
current becomes thoroughly estab-
lished and dependable, a number of
industries in both Smyrna and Clay
ton will likely take on power and this
will make more revenue for the plant.
There are bright and hopeful pros
poets ahead.

After the reception of the news of
the upholding of the War Time Pro-

the United States, thereby depriving

of their thirst before January 16,
about so quarts of whiskey Of all
known varities, some good, some bad,
and some very Indifferent. were
poured into the Dover sewer last week
by Deputy Attorney General j. K.
Satterfeld, in the presence of a court
officer. This liquor had been in the
possession of the late State Detective
p. S. Hurd at his home. and was being
kept awaiting an order of the court to
confiscate it, the stuff being from
time to time secured by State Detec-
tive Hurd in arrests of viOlators of the
law. Most of the liquor destroyed
had much the appearance of prune
juice, with a favoring of some acid
or vinegar-like liquid.

FIRST DREDGING D. & C. CANAL.
Specifications Approved at Washing
ton For Million Cubic Yards.

Lieutenant-C Colonel J. P. Jervey, U.
S. District Engineer, expects the spe-
cifcations for the first section of
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal dred-
ging to be returned to him from the
office of the Chief of Engineers,
Washington, D. c., in a few days.
The specifications provide for the re-
moval of 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial between st. Georges and the
railroad bridge. About 100000 will
be available for this work. 1t is es-
timated this dredging contract will be
completed late in 1920 or the early
part of 1921. The dredging involved
means deepening the present canal
ten feet or really bringing it down to
the depth of the level between Della
ware City and st. Georges. At Ches-
apeake City, Nd. a government ma
chine shop is to be established for
the use of worlmen employed along
the canal. This shop is to be a mod
ern one and will be completed later
this month or early in January. The
survey of the proposed new mouth at
the Delaware river entrance will be
completed in very short time.

brought this amount to Smyrna.
There were on this train alone Al bags
of mail and parcels, not including
parcels post packages too large for
bags that came separately. Postmas-
ter A. Lee Cummins and his force
were taxed to their capacity. Due to
the rapid sorting of mail by Miss

Lewis, the two obliging and capable
assists, the work was cleared up in a
short space of time and patrons of
the Office were not delayed in either
receiving or sending their mail. The
