(By Frank L. Stanton.)

(By Frank L. Stanton)
Storm in the black skies, but shadows
depart
For the sunlight of Loves in your
bright eyes, sweetheart!
The sunlight that seems
Brighter far than my dreams
Oh, the sunlight of Loves in your
bright eyes, sweetheart!
The sunlight that shines Ger the
world and its care
The signing the sorrow Of desolate
years.
Oh, tbs sunlight that seems
Sweeter far than heavens dreams
The sunlight of Love in your bright
eyes, sweetheart!

MEMORY BLANK
WHOLE YEAR;
RECEIVERS

Kansas City, MO-, oept 10
D. m. on August II, 1919, Lewis Foley
locked the door of his fathers grocery
store at Fortieth and Holmes streets
and started home. Then all went
blank.
Foleys name appeared on the list
of missing at police headquarters
and for more than a year his disap-
pearance was a deep and apparently
impenetrable mystery to his relatives
and friends. Then one day recently
Foley walked in on his mother at her
home. No. II East Forty-first street,
and another was added to those many
strange cases of temporary loss OF
memory due to accidents incident to
the war.
Foley, wide-awake youth OF TWEEN
ty.four, enlisted in the First American
Cavalry, at Kansas City on May IL,
1917, going to Jefferson Barracks and
thence to Fort d. A. Russell, Wyo.,
where the First Calvary was sta
toned.
AT Fort Russell Foley was kicked
on the forehead by an army mule.
After month in the hospital he was
given an honorable discharge for dis.
ability.
Returning to his home in Kansas
City, after being discharged from the
hospital Foley decided that if he
could not do his bit with the army of
his country he would look elsewhere
and on August II enlisted in the Eng
lish army, being assigned to the Third
Royal Black Watch, Scottish infan-
try regiment
From Kansas City Foley was sent
to Nova Scotia, and from there went
overseas September 20, 1917. Arriv.
ing in England, Foley was stationed
at Curragh Camp, Ireland, twenty-siX
miles from Dublin, where he remained
throughout the war.
Discharged fro mthe British army,
in February, 1919, Foley returned to
his mothers home, arriving Marrh
II. Immediately upon his arriving
home he went to work for his father,
who opened grocery store at Four.
teenth and Holmes streets.
He disappeared August II, 1919,
and on August s just three days less
than year later, he awoke in the st.
Claire hospital in Cleveland, Ohio,
after being picked up in dazed con-
dition on the street.
Memory returned quickly and he
asked for his mother, Mrs. Ada Foley,
giving her Kansas City address, and
on August 8 the mother received a
telegram notifying her that the son
she had mourned as dead was alive.
A quick recovery and Foley returned
home, his memory fully restored, but
with the events of the year a haxy
dream.
Previous to his awakening in Cleye.
land Foley remembers being in
Youngstown, Ohio, but no other city
In Cleveland he went under tho name
of Wilbur Crane.

memory faded he took up storage hat.

The new Casino, which will be the
home of the st. Petersburg Tarpon
club, is being built but will not be
completed for several weeks. The
structure will occupy a place on the
gulf beach, and pier will extend to

Delaware a Pioneer in Use of
Hyradted Lime Says Chief
Engineer Upham

A group Of prominent road Of
ficials, constituting the sub7com-
mittee of the Committee of the
American Society of Testing Ma
terials, after conference with
Chief Engineer Upham at the
Hotel du Pont, on Thursday, made
tour of inspection over various
roads in upper Delaware now
under construction.
This conference and inspection
tour was part of program Of
study of the practical use of hy-
drafted lime in highway construc-
ton.
According to Charles M. Upham,
State Highway Engineer, Della
ware is a pioneer in the use of
hydrate in the construction of
concrete highways, having started
it's use in 1915, and the expert
ments in the use in road work are
favorable. He says that it has
been shown to Increase the
strength of the concrete, and also
increases it mobility, which latter
fact makes it more easily nodded
by the workmen, and thus the
smooth roads, for which Delaware
is noted, are the result.
Other roads which the highway
committee investigated are the
Philadelphia pike, with a view to
studying experiments in lime
grouting of brick surfaces; the
du Pont highway below Smyrna,
the Townsend highway, Concord
pike, and Naaman's Creek road
the latter now being uncer con
struction. Mr.. Upham was ap
pointed chairman Of this commit
tee.
Consideration of experiments II
the practical use of hydrated lime
| in concrete, and arrangements OF
a program for both laboratory
work was the basis Of meeting II
Dover Friday. Bulletins will bs
prepared by the engineers ant
issued in time for the highway
construction period next year.
The next meeting of the commit
tee of the American Society o.
Testing Materials will be held IL

flocks of 100 hens or more and
other prizes to fiocks of so hens
or more. The awards are to be
based on the egg yields net profits
and the general care and manage
ment fthe flock.
In awarding the prizes large
flocks will be given consideration
over small focks. A flock of 100
hens making 100 points will be
rated the same as flock OF 200
hens making SO points, or 800
hens making 81 points, and so on
up to 1000 hens making 80 points.
All farmers are invited to enter
the contest. Poultry keeping is
one of the most important branch
es of agriculture in Delaware. "A
competent pountry man will visit
the contestants from time to time
and will take careful note of the
conditions of the flocks and their
surroundings and will make sug'
gestions of how the management
may be improved.
It is necessary for the contes
tants to make a careful inventory
of the fowls that are on the place,
stating breed and value at the be-
ginning of the contest, and an
equal careful inventory at the end
of six months and again at the
end of the year. Accounts should
be kept so that the actual profits
are known at the end of the year
On a scale of 100 points, profits
will count 80 points; management
including arrangement and sani

incline in the period following,
but by an almost super'human et-
fort the wage scale was boosted
to an even dizzer height. Achieve
ment within the past year or so
has been in inverse ratio to the
money expended therefor.
A reversion to the war period
type has, however, been manifest
in the construction of the Emer-
gency Dormitories at the Women's
College of Delaware which have
been erected in record time by the
du Pont Construction Co., of which
!. M. Phillips of Edgemoor is the
head. The work on these two
buildings was completed yester'
day, lust seven weeks after the
ground was broken. Contrary to
current rumor the material was
not "readicut." The plans for the
dormitories were drawn by Gull
bert and Betelle, architects, who
have designed the model school
buildings erected for colored chll-
dren at Hockessin, Marshallton,
and Christiana, and emergency
buildings elsewhere in the State.
The Buildings
The 'dormitories are one-story

H. C. Phillips Supervises
Construction

The actual work of construc-
ton, under the personal super
vision of H. C. Phillips, son of j.
M. Phillips, superintendent of con-
struction, has aroused much inter
est among the townsfolk as we'll
as among the faculty and stu
dents. Before Wilmington time
changed back to standard, the
working hours were in accordance
with the former, and the indus
trious hammering which began at
6 a. m. Newark time, aroused
many a sleeper who was startled
into wakefulness with the thought
that he had probably missed his
train. The speed and industry of
the % carpenters employed to-
gether with their efficiency in
dovetailing the work of the in
dividuals was the subject of much
favorable comment.
This construction company
formed about 7 weeks ago, is an
extension of the Engineering De
partment of the du Pont Co., anc
has been engaged so far in schoo
construction. The paint used botf
on interior and exterior work, is {
du Pont product.
The only subcontract let in thu
construction was that of the con
crete foundation which was con
structed by j. c. Willis of thi
town.
The cost of the buildings ant
furnishings will approximate $45
900, of which according to MI
p Phillips, $13,500 was for labo

were lacking but since the need
for trained teachers in the State
is so urgent, these prospective
teachers could not be refused ad-
mitance. The State Legislature,
always alive to the needs of the
young people Of the State and
generous in providing for their
education, would not convene un-
til January, and help from that
quarter to provide housing facili-
ties was out of the question. In
this emergency the Auxiliary
Association agreed to construct
and to loan to the College dormi-
tories which would provide for
these prospective teachers and
allow additional rooms for the
accommodation of groups of high
school students from towns
throughout the State, who will ac-
cording to plans formulated for
the extension of teacher-training,
be invited to spend eek-ends at
the college this winter. In the
meantime, temporary quarters
were secured for all students en-
rolling. Some were housed at Red
Mems Home and single rooms oc-
cupied by Seniors were through
the generously of the latter,
thrown open to the incoming
