Inspired apparently by the recent
case of New York mother who came
to Baltimore seeking child by for
mer marriage, which had been placed
in an institution, Delegate Grymes III
troduced a bill providing that here
after in cases where minor children
are committed to asylums or institu-
tions of that sort the parent shall
have the right to be informed OF the
name and residence of the persons
with whom their child may have been
placed. Severe penalties upon the di-
rectors of the institutions are provided
for disregarding the new provision.

KINGS DAUGHERs

Another effort will be made on
Wednesday, September Is, to have a
meeting of the Kings Daughters
With all the Summer diversions it
has been very hard to have even a
quorum. This is rather discouraging
to the president and makes her feel
that there is some reason for which
she is responsible, for the lack of at
tendance. Business of Importance TO
the circle which should have been
disposed of a month ago is still wait
ing for the consideration of the MEM
bers. 1t is such a small thing to ask
that each member set aside a few
hours a month for charity and at the
same time it means so much to those
for whose benefit they are given. VIII
each member try to make a special
effort to be at Mrs. w. C. Smiths
promptly at o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon, Sept. 18th? The meeting will
be called on that day because of the
opening of Chautauqua on our regular
meeting day. Don't wait for the sec
retary or some good-natured member
to call you on the telephone the day
of the meeting, but appoint yourself
committee of one and see to it that
your committee is present. Be there!

cOLORED KNOTS PARADE

Milford Castle, No. 8, of the knights
of Pythias. celebrated Lafayette's
birthday and Labor Day on Monday
last with a very pretty parade over
the streets of Milford, which was par
ticipated in by members Of the order
from Wilmington and other places in
Delaware. The parade was led by the
Milford Brass Band with Charles A.
Shockley as Grand Marshal and Isaac
Curry as Chancellor and William H.
Jenkins as Vice Chancellor. The
knights were in full dress uniform
and carried swords prescribed. Their
marching was good, while their ex-
ecution of various drills in formation
as they passed over the three-mile
route of the parade, surprised the
spectators. The visiting knights were
followed by the local membership in
formation and the ladies were in auto
miles trimmed with the American
flags. In the evening there were pub
lie exercises in the State Armory,
which drew a large audience.

THE CITIZENS OF MILFORD
SHOULD ATTEND CHAUTAUQUA

To the citizens of Milford:
AS Chairman of the ticket commit
tee for the guarantors of the Chau-
tauuua to be held on the Varney lot
from the 10th to the 22nd of the pres
ent month, 1 feel that a frank express
sion should be made. Forty-six ladies
and gentlemen, who are among the
best of our citizens, believing that
Chautauqua expresses the highest type
of wholesome and enjoyable enter
tainment at much cheaper rate than
a like entertainment could possibly be
produced in any other way, have guar
anteed the sum of $500 to make pos
sible this entertainment. The season
tickets are $3.50 for adult and 81 for
children between six and fifteen years.
There are twenty-five entertainments,
lectures and concerts, meeting every
bOdy's likes, at cost of eleven cents
for each number at the season tickets
rates. AS guarantOrs we must meet
our part of the contract by the sale of
tickets before the 10th. If we fail to
sell the $500 worth of tickets before
that date, then each guarantor must
pay his and her equal share of the
deficit. The guarantors will not be
given any tickets as their part of the
deficit should there be any. There
fore each guarantor will buy his or
her tickets from the solicitors can
vassing in your territory. Admission
tickets sold during the week of Chau-
tauqua will not aid the guarantors in
the least. Buy your tickets now from
the solicitors. You will distinctly un-
derstand that this Chautauqua is the
old Swarthmore Chautauqua which
in more than 600 towns in
the United States each year, and is
not to be confused with the three-days
Radcliff Chautauqua of last year. We
therefore appeal to the intelligence
and pride of Milford to support this
the finest entertaining institution in
the United States. To know some
things is worth many more times the
price of this program. / predict the
most enjoyable week Milford has ever (
had. Tickets on sale at Pettyjohns I
and Bratton's drug stores and Dick I

STATE RED CROSS EXHIBIT
ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION

The exhibit of the Delaware Red
Cross at the State Fair at Elsmere,
New Castle county, this week. drew
thousands of visitors. II was new
thing and the display was as exten-
sive and varied and was accompanied
with so many interesting lectures and
demonstrations and motion pictures
to illustrate the addresses, that this
great charitable organization made
many new friends.
There were lectures for men only
and women only, on subjects that
were of vital importance to them.
There were demonstrations TO men,
women and children. showing what
they should do and what they should
avoid to keep themselves healthy and
to be strong men and women.
The motion pictures illustrating the
subjects of lectures, served to drive
home the need for taking the best Of
care of the human body. The pictures
being free. the same as everything
else at the Red Cross exhibit, served
to draw many hundreds of visitors
who otherwise might have taken but
slight interest in the displays.
The work of the women of Delaware
in making layettes, knitted articles
and other things needed by the
stricken nations abroad, was an illus
tration of what the Red Cross work
ers in this State as well as all over
the United States are doing to serve
the country in times of peace.
All who witnessed the display,
which was divided into three yarts,
were greatly pleased and to hundreds
it was a revelation, as they had not
what permanent organiza-
tion the Red Cross was.

BASE BALL AT MILLsBoRo

The Lorraine Athletic Club of Will

ent base ball champions OF Delaware,
played double-header at Millsboro
last Monday, winning the morning
game by the score OFF, to 5. and los
ing the afternoon game by the score
of to 5.
In the morning game, Jesse Jones,
who recently finished the season in
the Southern League, with Whining
ton, n. c., received poor support and
as a result the game was lost on
errors in the first and second innings
when Lorraine scored five runs. The
visitors made all of their runs in the
first three innings. Jones frightened
up in the fourth inning and from then
until the ninth inning blanked them.
McGonigal, Lorraine's southpaw, re-
ceived excellent support throughout
the morning game.
In the afternoon, Jarvis, the star
twirler of Berlin, Nd, pitched a great
game for the Indian River boys, and
the support given him far exceeded
that of the morning game. Mills
boro scored the winning run IN the
ninth inning, when Harvey Lawson
hit a two-bagger and later scored on
a two-base his by Jarvis, the Berlin
pitcher.

ALL OFFENDERS MUST

ARRESTED FOR DRUNKENNESS As

THE LAW Is FOUND IN VOLUbIN 80
CHAPTER 239, SECTION 26, PAGE
644, CONCERNING SANE.

It seems that the Justices of the
Peace, the Aldermen and committing
magistrates of the municipalities in
Z Delaware, who have jurisdiction over
crimes and punishments, are not aware
that there is ample and perfectly good
law by which to get information as to
the source Of supply of any liquor or
intoXicant from any person or persons
who may be arrested for being drunk
i'm the State of Delaware. The law
was passed at the session of the Legis.
lature of two years ago, and was sign
ed by the Governor and appears in the
volume of laws of that session; viz ;
Vol 80. Chapter 239, section 20, on
page GA, and is under the heading of
Crime and Punishment"
This law makes it clearly a case of
contempt of court to refuse to tell the
source of the supply. The person re-
fusing to divulge the facts, shall be
sent to prison until they see their way
clear to give the information to the
questions asked or, they may be fined
in addition to the Imprisonment.
There be no excuse as to failure to
get information, as the law provides
indefinite Imprisonment for the party
until it is divulged. The person Civ
ing the information is freed from
punishment for the offense of drum
keness on that case by giving the in
formation. but will have to testify
when the person who gave, sold or
supplied the liquor is arrested to an
swer under the charge.
The Justices, the Mayors and Alder
er is charged with being drunk, better
get familiar with the facts in the cases
thru the law as made and provided for
the enforcement of the laws applying
to crimes and their punishments. to
which public attention has been called
