The great masses Of our people
know the value of sound, funda-

for argument on that score. They

"Delaware Will Not Take

Returns from the school elec-

Eugene O'Brien Made His
OWn Luck

It isn't so much a case of the
Lord loving the Irish, as some may
think. It ism t case Of luck, either.
Eugene O'Brien made his own luck
as strong natures do. He started
out early to be an actor, good
one, and he did it by following the
old, tried and true formula-wOrk,
and plenty of it.
He didn't intend, in the begin
ming. to be the model hero. That
reputation was given him by his
audiences who saw him win or re,
pei, as the play required, various
leading ladies through five reels OF
romantic adventure in SelznicB
Pictures. First, it was "The Per
feet Lover next it was "Sealed
Hearts" " and now it is 1.-The Brok

Wallace Reid, a Lucky Star
Wallace Reid considers himself
one Of the luckiest film stars in the
business. Not only is he happily
married, the father Of budding

packed several times as many acci-
dents into his youthful career as
the ordinary mortal hopes to en-
counter.
Twice within the past year
Wallie has escaped without a

Report of Special Committee
Gives Interesting Data of
That Department

Last winter special committees
were appointed by the Alumni
Association Of Delaware College to
investigate conditions there and to
make recommendations. One Of
these was a visiting committee to
make annual visits and report back
to the Association the condition Of
each of the departments.
State Bank Commissioner George
L. Medill, was assigned the Arts
and Science. County Engineer
Charles E. Grubb, the Engineering
and Eugene H. Shallcross, the
Agricultural department.
Mr.. Shallcross has presented the
association a written report Of
what he found in visiting the agri-
cultural department which is of
great interest. This report follows
Animal Husbandry Department
"This department has been un-
dergoing a few changes, the prin-
cipal one, the resignation Of Dean
Hayward. He is an authority on
live stock and the department has
felt his leaving.
"The original herd Of cattle at
the farm were Guernseys and had
among it some Of the best bred
cattle of the country. But as the
Delaware farmers favor the Hol.
stein breed, it was deemed advis,
able to change the herd to Hol,
stems; so the Guernseys were sold
and the Holsteins bought in their
places. AS the college was not
financially able to buy herd OF
high priced Holsteins, it bought g
good grade of cows and very high
bred bull and hopes to improve tht
herd by raising high grade sires
which is one Of the best examples
that could be put before the peo
pie of the State.
"The college is breeding princi
pally Duroc Jersey and POLAND

profitable industry in certain Sec

management. 1t has found that
the nitrogen is the limiting factor
in peach growing and that nitrate
Of soda is the most profitable form
to apply, but should be supple
mented by growing legiminous
cover crops, thus cutting the cost
of nitrogen considerably.
"It has proven that apples can
be grown in Delaware as good and
as profitable as in any other part Of
the country. This department has
issued spraying schedules that have
been of great advantage to the
fruit growers Of the State, and
these schedules were made up from
results actually obtained in the
orchards. We also find this de-
partment recommending the plant
ing Of late white potatoes, as early
white potatoes for series of years
have not proven a profitable crop.
Agronomy Department
"This department has been very
much up and doing in the grain
growing industry Of the State. We
also find a new head in this depart
ment, a change which is sure to
interfere with the efficiency Of the
department.
"New Castle county is princi-
pally grain and dairy section and
this department has been Of inesti-
mable service to the county. There
is no department in the college, In
which the work is 'as tedious and
takes as long to get results as IN
this department. For that reason
it takes hard working, conscientious
men.
Plant Pathology Department
"The most noted work of this
department has been in sweet po-
tato diseases, principally the con-
troll of black rot in sweet potatoes.
This department has done more
work in sweet potato diseases than
any other agricultural college or eX,

and the results obtained by this
department are saving the farmers

ROBERT W. CHAMBERS THE RESTLESS SEX''-STRAND

The screen adaptation of The Rest less Sex" by Robert W. Chambers, is showing at the Strand this week. The picture is study of feminine nature from the standpoint of her relation to man most especially. It has all of the depth, vitality and tension of Cham ber's stories in general, and at the same time humanness that keeps the plot on a fascinating everyday basis
 A girl, Stephanie Cleland restless, craving excitement, change and experi- ence, finds herself swept into a result that was natural outcome of her des- perate search for pleasure As an out come, one man is driven to suicide and another barely escapes a wrecked life. Stephanie succeeds just in time in drawing together the broken threads of her existence.
 Marion Davies is a typical heroine for one of Chambers intense stories. She actually has the feeling that she is called on to display Her leading man, Ralph Kellard, gives a fine support. The whole picture is remarkably fine in detail, the smallest episodes coming in with great significance in the end, and with a photography that is beau- tifully clear.
 Dynamite" is a real high class com edy picture that is shown along with the feature.

Hand women. The locale is in tropical Java, and the surroundings, people and even the idea itself is so realistically tropical that a warm and heavy tropi- cal breeze would be about all needed to make it all seem actual. The love story of girl, strange and erie creature with the inscrutability of Java and the Vivacity of France in her veins, makes the plot. A true daughter of Eve. unrefihed by repressing civil ization. the girl carries on a deliberat te filtration with two men, who have hap pened upon her home shore. The men are cousins but widely different One is stronog, hard, atheistic character, the other of almost puritancal ideals. This situation develops a romance that Is as fresh and direct as mankind was once natural.
 Clarine Seymore, who is cast as the girl. an idol dancer IS possessed of 8 fresh and vital beauty that is very suitable to the story idea. Richard Barthelmess is the beachcomer, and one of the lovers. He wins the girl and the spectators with a strong reliant manliness and his elemental wooing The other lover Is Creighton Hale, the puuritanical one, His strongest act ing is in the contrast he is called on to draw between practical good by ex- ample, and the nagging inconsistency of some missionaries who play an i'm portant part in the story.
 Well in keeping with the tropical picture is four Hawaiians, who give full programme of Hawaiian music be- tween the feature showing. They play number of popular tunes on ukuleles and end with the appearance of Hula Hula" girl. who dances Hawaiian style.

ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN IN
 THE POINT OF VIEW"

Elaine Hammerstein is appearing as star of "The Point of View" at the Alcazar. This is a narrative of rich family, who through financial losses, are compelled to live in comparative poverty. Elaine Hamm erstein is the daughter, Marjory. who is the. only one of the family who can take in rhe situa tion and manage on the income, so the whole family lean heavily on her. The result is natural. She has an opportu nifty to marry for wealth and does. Then the picture goes into the married life romance.
 Great wealth is pictured in The Point of View" with the exception only of about one real of poverty. Miss Ham merstein wears the usual beautiful clothes, and manages to forget them somewhat better than usual. The pie ture is based on simply q series of very every day experiences, nothing espe cially dramatic or tense, just interest ing in the fashion of an unusual bit of gossip. Along at the end when the husband hears that his wife really loves another there comes the nearest ap- proach to a dramatic situation The rest is taken up in the simple struggle against circumstance and poverty. Most notable are the scenes taken in New York. A Sunshine comedy is shown with the feature.
