BOLD OUTRAGE ON
NEWARK'S MAIN STREET

apecis, Correspondence to Every Evening
Newark, Dec. 6.-Clarence w. Evans
souior At Delaware College, WAS held up
by two highway men at the centre station,
East Newark, about l O'Clock yester-
day morning, and robbed of his overcoat,
watch and chain, wallet containing
ANAL amount of money, and eyeglasses.
He had attended the dance given IN the
srmory, Saturday night by the Student
Council of Delaware College and after
escorting young woman whom he took
TO the dance to her home, was on his way
10 his own home.
lust As Evans reached the centre station
walking on the north side of Main street,
one man stepped out on the sidewalk from
the direction of the station and the other
crossed the street. Both displayed re-
volvers and ordered the student to walk
back OF the station where the robbery took
place. After taking his overcoat and other
articles the robbers ordered Evans to re-
turn To Main street, and then made their
escape.
II afterwards developed that Earle
Evans, a brother OF the student who was
robbed, John Hoffecker, a freshman at
Delaware College. and John and Earl
CUNNINGHAM witnessed the hold-up from
a point some distance on the other slde
of the railroad, but did not know at the
time who was being robbed. They saw
the men fash the revolvers and II WAS this
fact that kept them from going to the
assistance of thevictim. Theywere attract
ed by the peculiar actions Of the men when
they passed the station, and had been
secretly watching them for some time
when Clarence Evans was held up.
The hishwaymen wore masks and were
described AS one being tall and the other
abort. II was raining slightly at the time
and il WAS also fairly dark At that point.
After the four boys learned the victim
was Clarence Evans, they went TO the Sigma
Nu Fraternity House. which is nearby,
and got some of the college students up.
By this time. however, the men had made
their escape. 1t is thought they ran up
the tracks Of the Newark and Pomeroy rail
-oad and some of the BOYS thought they
were in an automobile that turned into
Main street from Chapel, short time
later. and went east ON Main street.

AMERICANS BEST WORKERS.
Their Ambition Lacked by Other National
tiles Says ]. II. Hammond.

OF all the nationalities that have
employed-and l think that at one time
or another l have employed representa-
tives of every nation on earth-the
American is by far the most ambitious.
Not because l am an American, but
simply out of experience, I should in
any given case employ an American
with detective training rather than a
man of any other nationality with per-
feet training, for, although we at home
do not realize it, the young American
will, generally speaking, if given a fair
start, outstrip the foreigner.
The Englishman usually thinks OF his
Job as berth" He is glad to hold
it and to get more money, but rarely
does he press forward to make himself
worth more money. When the day is
done. or when noon Saturday comes
about, he banishes the whole unpleasant
idea of work from his mind until he
has to get back at it again. The Ger
man is industrious, elaborately masters
every detail, and, although he gets n
complete command of everything that
he touches and makes himself very val
liable for the job that he is on, he seldom
makes himself too big for that job.
The American, on the contrary, is al
ways pushing after the job ahead of him,
and he is willing to work day and night
and Sundays to get that job. Wherever
and whenever / have had Americans
working for me | have usually had to
make a point of visiting the offices on
Sunday to clear them out II you let
them they will Kill themselves workingl
This indomitable spirit-the true Amer
lean spirit should be given the ad-
vantage of the best possible education
and not burdened with an education that
tends to destroy. And think that we
can do that if we conceive clearly the
objects that we have in mind.--John
Hays Hammond, in Golfers Weekly.

Bread is the most important single item
In the diet of every member of the family.

culture has printed for free distribution TO
housewives q booklet that gives scores Of
recipes for making bread. These are sup
plemented by other recipes on the use of
stale bread that no cruInb may go TO

get the value of your money in buying
breakfast foods, how 70 make them at
home.
1t is practical 1t is free. Our bureau

and thereupon it shall be the duty Of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
to Immediately notify the secretary
irf tao electoral board Of each county
and city of the State; and it shall
then become the duty of the electoral
boards of the several counties and
cities within the State, within twenty
days preceding such election, to
cause to be printed on the official bal

.sNtKE-E ERs N CON ENTl0N
Gathering Which Is Held Annually In
North Africa Must Be Re-
pulsive Sight.

After lapse Of five years, the an.
nual convention Of the snake-eaters OF
northern Africa has lately been held
Seventeen of the most renowned rep
tile consumers from various parts OF
Tunis and Algeria took part.
An extraordinary feature Of the con-
vention was that most of the snake
eaters served In the French army
during the war, many Of them wearing
the medals they won In France.
Mere than four hundred small
snakes of various sizes were carefully
measured and distributed to the COM
petitors., A score-keeper watched each
man, and the spectators cheered the
"eaters" at the top of their voices.
The "eatfng" consisted Of forcing a
snake into. the mouth as quickly as
possible, but no punching or rolling
up Of the reptiles was allowed. The
snake had to be forced in head first,
and as soon as the tail had disap-
peared, which it usually did with ex-
traordinary rapidity, the competitor
quickly snatched, it out of his mouth
and inserted another.
The man who finished his "a snakes
first was adjudged the winner, and
was presented with prize consist
ing Of round ball studded with brass
nails and hung with brass chains, to
which were attached silver and gold
coins.

Safety On the Roads

GICs=ac husetts appear to have a
mems Of furnishing automobile orlV-
ers who transgress on safety. In five
months the licenses of 1,116 drivers
have been suspended because of in
fractions of the laws-driving while
intoxicated, speeding or engaging in
ether ofcenses calculated to increase
the pcliiS Of the highways. In addi-
ton the warning is issued that sec
end offensc will make permanent the
prohibition en- driving car. Such
a course should be effective to re-
strict the G"ticnG of those who men
zee the safety Ct the roads. If reck-
less driving imperiled only those who
engage il ii the accidents that occur
conld be borne with less regret, but
a drunken driver hurting his car
along 1T high speed endangers all the
ether traffic on the road. The men
ace is not greatly lessened if the driv-
Ell is sober but going at excessive
speed. Suspension Of the license
should be more effective than the i'm
position Of a fine. Many persons do
not mind paying over small fine ana
will go out and Immediately repeat
the performance. Being faced with
the fear Ct being deprived perpetu-
ally of the privilege of driving car
should have the effect of making
those inclined to pull 'er wide open"
think twice before taking the chance.

Rabbit Drives In Washington.

Jack rabbits to the number of 10000
have sacrificed their lives in the drives
recently undertaken in eastern Wash
ington under the supervision of the
biological survey. The demand for the
meat In the larger cities Of the North
west proved to be good. White-tailed
rabbits brought $3.50 dozen, and the
black-tailed variety sold Tor about 81.
Preference was shown for those which
had been shot rather than harried and
dubbed. The carcasses, to be salable,
should be drawn as soon as possible
after they are cooled, 1t is pointed out.
An extension Of the campaign Is
planned.
