to say. The murderer briefly asked
for mercy because he said he had
not killed Zebley Intentionally.

tion of Middletown is ARRANGING
for a big meeting at the Middle
town Opera House on Mondav
evening, December 13, for the
purpose of obtaining sentiment Of
the public on the question Of
building of the new school house

prominence present the question
in all it's phases. Henry P. Scott
Wilmington, and Everett C. John.
son, Secretary of State, have been
invited to speak. The schools of
Middletown are overcrowded, there
being more than 800 scholars en-
rolled with the prospects of sew
eral more country districts send
ing their children to Middletowp.
A majority of the parents feel
that more accommodations are
needed. The portable school
house is nearly completed but
with it the school will be crowd
ed. The meeting it is understood
will agitate the question of erect.
ing the new building. The move
ment is popular and a quiet can
vass of many of the large property

GOOD ROADS"
EXHIBIT IN WHINING
TON THIS WEEK
Delaware Highways Talk of
Country, Says Distin-
guished Visitor

Ihe State highway Department
is holding it's second annual road
exhibit and convention at the
Hotel du Pont this week. The ex-
hibit includes models, maps, photo
graphs and other interesting
features descriptive of and ex-
planatory to the work of the
State Highway Department.
On Saturday the state highway
engineers will meet for an all day
conference. Papers will be pre-
sented, followed by discussions on
various phases of highway work,
particularly on new developments
and problems which have arisen
during the past year.
The public is invited to attend
both the exhibit and convention.
The last concrete of the season
to be laid on the state road south
of Wilmington was poured Satur-
day at Farnhurst. The concrete
pavement is now complete from
about one mile south of Hsre's
Corner to a point about half a
mile north of Farnhurst. This
road is now open from Hare's
Corner to Taylor's Corner and
will be open the entire length
about December Is.
The wonderful strides in the
construction of Delaware roads
and their superb construction is
being talked about all over the
United States, according to Ken
meth Leydecker, of the general
sales department of the White
Company, Cleveland, Ohio, who is
the guest of Charles M. Upham,
State highway engineer, to ad-
dress the road convention which
started at Hotel du Pont yester-
day.
Mr.. Leydecker said that the
various States in the Union are
watching the problems of the
State of Delaware and that Mr..
Upham has taken such an active
part in the development of modern
highways and surfaces that his
recommendations are given seri-
Gus consideration.
Roads are necessary for the de-
velopment of the State of Della
ware, according to Mr.. Leydecker,
who said that the railroad system
cannot reach remote points and
that it is necessary for the high
ways to act as laterals or feeders
to railroads in order that the
transportation problem can be
worked out to the highest degree
of efficiency.
Mr.. Lydecker said that in the
transportation of all commodities,
in some form or other, it has been
found necessary that the articles
be transported over the highways.
Before joining the White Com
pany, Mr.. Leydecker was connect
ed with the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey as road engl-
neer. Mr.. Lydecker pointed out
the interest Of the White Com
pany, in road building, is shown
by the educational film on good
roads which is being shown
throughout the country, and which
has already been shown in 10000
moving picture theatres. This film
Mr.. Lydecker said, is not an ad-
vertising film. This picture, "Open
Roads to Greater America" will
be shown at the Hotel du Pont
Thursday evening.

MANY ATTEND FUNERAL OF
PRINCIPAL A. H. BERLIN

Many alumni and friends of
Principal A. H. Berlin of Will
mington High School, attended
the funeral which was held in the
auditorium of the First and Gen.
trail Presbyterian Church last
Friday afternoon. Rev. Josiah H.
Crawford, former pastor Of Gen.
trail Presbyterian Church, and
Rev. Richard w. Trapnell, rector
of St. Andrews Episcopal Church,
conducted impressive funeral
services. Relatives of the de-
ceased, members of the Board of
Public Education and active and
honorary pallbearers occupied
seats near the chancel, the alumni,
teachers, students and other per-
sons thronged pews that had not
been reserved.
DR.. Crawford offered prayer,
and DR.. Trapnell read selections
of scripture. Mrs. Robert Wilson
Sachs, accompanied by John
Thoms, sang, "My Jesus as Thou
Wilt" and "Abide With Me-"
which were Professor Berlin's
favorite hymns.
In brief address DR.. Crawford
spoke of life in the light of i'm
mortality of influence, which, he
said, reaches on, on until time is
no more. He highly eulogized
Professor Berlin, who spent 32
years in Wilmington. When other
men were making money Professor
Berlin was making character, DR..
Crawford stated. When other
men were building reputation
Professor Berlin was building
young lives in manhood and
womanhood. Professor Berlin did
not labor in vain, DR.. Crawford
declared. Professor Berlin gave
himself with the love of a crus-
ader for an ideal, and when life
was nearly spent he could not ask
anything better than his resting
place be in sight of the school
where he labored. DR.. Crawford
said Professor Berlin's ideal has
been reproduced in scholars. He
believed fear of the Lord, he
feared God in the right sense and
served Him as elder in church.
Today he lives in the land of
many mansions; he lives here too
in the lives Of the men and women
whom he served and loved.
After being viewed by many
persons the body was borne to the
Wilmington and Brandywine cem-
etery for interment. A blanket of
roses, presented by the High
School teachers, was put over the
casket.

In every home that believes
tuberculosis in Delaware should
be prevented and has the means
to aid the fight financially-a
health bond.
In the minds Of every resident
Of the State who needs treatment
to prevent tuberculosis-a clear
conception of the service which
the Delaware agencies that are
fighting tuberculosis are prepared
to offer gladly and without
charge.
Agencies Do Great Work
How important a work the three
associated agencies in this sale
are accomplishing is pointed out
in a letter that is being sent out
to friends of the cause by these
agencies, signed by Mrs. Julie A.
(Donald) Ashbrook for Sunny
brook Cottage, Miss Emily P.
Bissell for the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society and David Snellenburg,
for the State tuberculosis Com
mission. This letter says in part:
1--WE have had during the year
six school nurses at work examin-
ing thousands Of children, and
seventeen doctors working as
medical examiners. The travelling
tuberculosis exhibit has gone
through the state from end to end,
and is now working in the indus
trial plants. Much educational
work has been done and special
health moving pictures have been
shown.
"The great fact that deaths
from tuberculosis have shown a
decided decline this year is proof
of the value of our campaign.
People are learning how to pre-
vent tuberculosis, detecting it in
early stages, and curing it as it
can be cured at that period. We
believe that with your help we can
bring this most dreaded of all dis
eases under control. The good
work must go on because-in spite
of the decrease our death rate is
still one of the highest in the
country.
"This year we plan to aid the
preventorium for children now
running at Sunnybrook Cottage
near Wilmington. It has brought
more than fifty children back to
health this summer, and needs
only funds to become more and
more valuable in the tuberculosis
campaign. We also wish to es-
tablish an executive staff and to
have an office. The school nursing
and the exhibit must be kept 60
ing and sick patients sent to
sanatoria."
"There is every reason to be-
lieve," said a committee member,
"that the Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year greetings sent
out in the form of the little
Christmas seals will serve to
point out Delaware as model in
it's methods of tuberculosis pre-
vention."

State Federation Movement
Started
A movement toward starting a
State Federation was inaugurated
and approved. Mr.. J. D. Reynolds
of Middletown, presented a pro-
posed constitution and bylaws
for the Federation drawn up by
the State Committee at a meeting
held at Dover recently.
The New Castle Farm Bureau
went on record yesterday as ap-
proving a State Federation with
the idea of later becoming affiliat-
ed with the American Federation
of Farm Bureaus. A committee
recently appointed was instructed
to meet with committees from the
other counties to draw up final
plans for a State Federation.
Frank Yearsley is chairman; J.
D. Reynolds and William Brackin
are the other members. This COM
mittee functioning as part of the
State committee, will appoint cam
vassers to secure members for the
Federation with a view to secur-
ing as members all farmers in the
State.
Mr.. Elwood Douglas, of Mon
mouth county, N. j., was present
and told how his county was or
ganized and became a member Of
the State Federation. He stated
that they secured 1900 members

equipment for the work is to be

The rapidity with which the
school enrolment is out-stripping
the quarters provided is making
imperative some permanent meas
ure for relief of the situation.
This can best be provided in the
opinion of the local Board, the
Alumni Association and the
friends of the children who are
acquainted with existing condi-
tions, by providing at the earliest
possible time an adequate school
building under one roof.
Ground Procured by Previous
Board
Sufficient ground for the new
building was purchased more
than a year ago when a portion
of the Lewis property south OF
the present Grammar School
building was purchased. Unset
tied conditions with regard to
the school law coupled with the
high cost of labor and of build
ing materials delayed the work of
building at that time. The refer
endum feature of the amended
law altered the conditions of
bonding and the more generous
offer of the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association together
with the crowded and unsanitary
conditions in the public schools
frequently referred to in these
columns, makes early action de-
sirable.

array of names on the same the voter
should have no trouble in selecting
three aldermen and a mayor to fill
the places to be filed. AS this is a
strictly local, non-political affair, the
Miner will refrain from commenting
on the several candidates. Every
voter in the city knows the men on
the ticket perhaps better than we do
and it is up to you to make wise
choice and upon YOU, Mr.. and Mrs.
Voter, will depend the makeup OF
the city council. All have their
friends and all expect to be elected.
We will say however that seven aid
ermanic candidates. and one mayor
atty candidate will be doomed to dis
appointment. Vote for the best in
terests of the city as a whole and not
for the individual candidates who
have axes to grind or pets to be re-
warded. This is one of the best
cities in the northwest and should
have. one of the best councils. In
helping the city as whole you are
helping yourself far more than if You
pick individual acts to reward. Do
your duty by the city.
