ENJOYED MOTOR TRIPS.
Delaware Red Cross Thanked for Plea
surc Il Gave Soldiers.

The u. s. Genera, Hospital at Carlisle,
Pa, having beer abandoned, the motor
corps attached to tho Delaware Red
Gross has boen so advised and thanked for
its kindness To the soldiers there. The
following letter TO Mrs. William Stnniar,
head Of the Delaware Motor Corps, from
II. NJ. Carter, field director, explains 1T
self:
My dear Mrs. Staniar
With the passing of this post as a hos
pitAl, the Motor Corps activities, as well
as other forms Of entertainment and
recreation, have come TO close.
As you are aware, during the life of the
hospital, the Red Cross was continually
striving 10 do something for the benefit
and amusement Of the patients. While
this phase of the work took on several
forms and all were more or less appreclat-
ed, / doubt very much whether any one
thing contributed quite as much 10 the
PLEASURE and benefit of go large number
az the motor trips, which had been given
almost daily for months past.
The Delaware Chapter through their
generous contribution of the motor bus was
of material assistance in the carrying out
of our program and If could speak for
the many men who found diversion and
endowment in these rides-l am sure you
would have no doubt but that what you
had done has been OF real service.

Coroner's Jury Finds Nothing unnatura'
in SparkIer and Drowning Inquests.

A verdict Of accidental death was re-
turned in two cases BY coroncr's jury ~
the offices Of Coroner Isaac &. Bullock
last night. In the case Of Albert Beattie,
who was badly burned about the body
when his clothes caught FIRE from fonrth
Of July sparkicrs and who died few Gays
later in the Delaware Hospital, TINS
verdict was reached after much discussion. .
The boy, whose parents live at 2ll4
Biddle street, Union Park Gardens, was
sent purposely to his grandmother >
home in the country where II was thought
he would be safer than in the city during
the Fourth Of July celebration.
In the case Of Anastasio Schirru. an
Italian who was drowned ia a quarry
hole on the Foreman farm near Union
Park Gardens last Sunday, il was recon-
! mcnded that fence be built around the
place and signs put up forbidding anyone
bathing in the pool. The water is from
a spring and is very cold except on the
surface where it is warmed by the sun.
II was shown that Schirru had gone TO
the place early Sunday morning 10 battle
in the pool, leaving bis clean clothes on
a rock near one end Of the pool. IL ~
thought that he was seized with the
cramp on entering the cold water.

ROCKFORD PARK SING.
That Last Night was Enjoyable Not
vithstanding Children's Franks.

That the charms of music credited with
power to "soothe the savage breast,
loee their grip when II comes 90 playful
kids" was again demonstrated at tie
Rockford Park band concert last evening,
under the auspices of the community
service. when the enthusiasm OF the
gathered children took the form OF fllling

This annoyance to the musicians was
partly due, 1t is said. TO inadequate light

tent by directing the search lights Of thu
parked automobiles on the platform.
The singing was led by Chaplain STANLEY

success for the announced leader, who was
detained.
One of the band selections rendered
was American General, composition

DAuYECONOMY CALENDAR

WITH RICE.

Monotony is the only thing the matter
with the dietary of some tables. We
spend q week with some friends, and leave
their houses with a wish that we need
never eat again. And then we go home,
or to another friends, and IN two days
our appetItes are back to normal. The
trouble is that the food at the first place
was monotonous At the second, though
it is no better it is not monotonous.
Even the healthy appetite of child
grows tired of monotonous food, although
IT must be admitted that our craving for
variety is largely matter Of training and
civilization. Still, the craving is there, and
we might Just as we'll acknowledge its
presence and meet it.
Now it would often be far more economi-
cal if we could serve more monotonous
meals. We would then, as some people
do in certain country districts, boil ham
and put it on the table for breakfast,
dinner and supper until it WAS gone. We
could also bake three loaves OF ginger
bread at the trouble Of baking one, and
serve this delectable cake until it was
gone. But our craving for variety makes
this sort of cooking bad bargain.
Nevertheless, we can be economical In
cooking, and yet not monotonous. For
instance, take rice. suppose you boil a
big kettle of it in the fireless cooker some
night. You can have it hot, with cream
or top milk, as cereal for breakfast. For
luncheon, rice croquettes with maple
syrup will be good For dinner, little
OF it can be put in the soup. For break
fast next day rice mullins may be made
For luncheon the second day yol can have
rice salad, mixing it wit some greer
4 70 bloc and s.rusp0 If ~, latfIrs, uitf
