COMMUNITY HALL IS
DISCUSSED At MEETING
Committees Report No Definite
Progress; May Await Con-
vening of Legislature.

Because of no definite progress of the
part of the committees on the new COM
munity hall project. there was no special
busin ess transacted last night at the
second meeting of the committees.
Col. j. Austin Ellison said that, as the
project was of such large dimensions, no
plans for action had been shaped as yet.
John II. Nields reported that he had
Investigated a number of plans and draw
ings for the proposed structure. In re-
gard TO the financial status of the prop
osi'ion, he said that those who had been
approached on the subject were synpa-
thotic but did not offer financial support
As the deal is large one. Mr.. Nields said
that some time should n spent in taking
preparatory steps on thu subject: that il
would probably be year or two before
final definite action would be taken.
Mayor Taylor said the project may be
DELAYED until after the converting of the
next legislature so that an additional an-
preparation may be secured.
MIR Nields stated that the services of
two du Pont engineers had been offered
and that they would be available at any
time.
As there was no further business, Mayor
Taylor suggested the meeting be adjourn
cd until the committees obtained definite
ground on which to start planning.
Those present at Abe meeting were:
Mayor Taylor, Harold Keats, Col. J.
Austin Ellison, John p. Nields, Col
Weller T.. Slower. Councilman Forwood,
George L. Lyon, ex-Gov. Charles r.. Mil
Ter, Alfred ID. Warner. Frank W. Pierson,

FOR PROMOTION OF
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Under Provisions Of Bill introduce
ed in Congress, Delaware Would
Receive $4,000 From
Government.

Under tho provisions Of bill introduced
in the lower house Of Congress by Mr.,
Fcss, To provide for the promotion of
vocational education, Delaware would
receive from the Federal. government for
this purpose the sum of $40 0OO yearly,
and this amount supplemented by u like
amount from the State, as required by
the terms OF the bill il it becomes law,
would give the State Of Delaware $2O,-
600 to be disbursed among the high schools
of the State meeting the State boards
requirements for home economics. This
amount would be paid out principally
in salaries for teachers.
Under the provisions OF the Smith
Hughes act, now in force, and under
which the Delaware State Board is
operating, only $1,000 is available for
vocational home economies instruction,
and this amount is distributed among
twenty-five schools of the State outside
OF the city of Wilmington, meeting the
requirements of the Delaware State plan
for vocational education.
The Fess bill provides for the nppru-
priation for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1921, the sum Of $5OO,OO0 and an
nually thereafter for nine years an amount
for each year equal to the amount appro-
priated for the year preceding increased
by S250,0OO, and for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1881, and annually
thereafter, the sum of x,OOO,00O, such
appropriations TO be in lieu of the appro-
priations for cooperation with the States
in the payment of the salaries OF teachers
of home economics subjects.
For any States 10 secure the benefits
of the appropriations, the State board
for vocational education for tho State
shall prepare plans showing the kinds
of home economies education for which
it is proposed the appropriation shall
be used
The Delaware College faculty and tho
educational authorities of the State arc
hopeful that the Fess bill will be enacted
into law, as it is considered that it would
be of great benefit to the State.

1ndigestion-Gas- Bloat
Heartburn-Caused
By Acid-Stomach

What Is the cause of indigestion, dyspepsia
bloat, heartburn, food-repeating, belching,
CASEY sour stomach, and all the stomach mis-
eriee that bring go much distress? Just this
ACID-STOMACH. Ii robs millions of their
full strength, vitality and the power to enjoy
liie-to be real men and women.
IL il we'll known that acid-mouth de-
stroys the teeth. The acid can be deterteG
only by y chemical alys!s, and still it is so
powerful that it eats right through the bard
enamel and causes the teeth to decay. This
certainly il fair warning Of what Acid Stomach
will do to the entire system; as matter of
fact, Acid 6tomach not only produces at the
start . great many painful and disagreeable
symptoms that we generally name Stomach
troubles, but il lie the creator of a long train
Of very serious ailments. Acid Stomach in
terferes With digestion and causes the food
to ternent, the stomach gets sour and creates
gas, and then this mass of sour, fermented
food passes into the intestines, where it be-
comes the breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons which in turn absorbed
into the blood stream, and in this wav dis
tnbuted throughout the entire body.
The sensible thing to DO is to strike right at
the very cause of all this trouble and get rid IF
the Acid Ste mach.
There is 3 quick, easy way TO do this. A

week, commencing with its first day,
with our celebrated February Furni-
ture Sale, it would be larger and
greater and better than any other
furniture sale.
This is a direct, uneQuiu0caI
statement.
We hare got to make it good.
We have promised, with full I'M
derstanding of our responsibilities,
that we would produce Furniture
Sale offering greater quantities,
greater values, greater savings,

We've promised, that by reason of
the magnitude of our buying opera
tons, and cooperation of the best

manufacturers, we would offer you
better variety of furniture, and a
better quality of furniture.-more
graceful and more tasteful. and,

Advances Of 200 to 800 Per Cent,
for Some Materials, Since
the War Began.

Lumber prices never were so high as
now. Since the war hcgan they have adj
vanccd between 300 and 500 per cent.
There has been a five per cent advance IN
the mast month. Most lumber dealers
look for still further increases Tor Inon'ns
10 come. while some predict that they VIII
continue for years without preak.
Most contracts are for deliveries not later
than the coming July.
In the local market there is said to be q
great shortage in some materials. Some
lumber that Was seldom sought IN any
quantities before the war, has since then
come into such demand that prices have
scared out Of sight. Now, 1t is SAID, these
price.
Maple flooring WAS cited by one firm as
an example of this. Formerly maple Was
used for flooring in shops and factories,
but seldom anywhere else, IL was explain
cd. Naturally that kept the price of 1t far
below that of Georgia pine, which was IN
general use for flooring. When contractors
started after the supply of this material,
the price started upward TO conform with
the demand Last year one Wilmington
concern went into the market and bought
,lp 1000. 900 feet of maple. That almost
exhausted the whole supply, SO it was said
slou can't get any price on tins stuff
now" said the local dealer. There Is not
any of it IN sight.
Box-board is another article now almost
as scarce But local price OF SOS per
1000 feet for cight-inch sheathing board
was quoted. Long leaf yellow pine and
North Carolina pine have advanced about
lOpr cent in the past few months.
The greatest advance occurred In
f,I1nx-,,>v ON ON mi into the
Gum, which sold in 1914 atx45 thousand,
now sells at 5000 BoN-board during the
same period has advanced from Sl5 TO
x42 thousand.
Production is estimated at 60 per cent
Of normal and demand is about 40 per cent
above normal. Lumber concerns with
large holdings will not cut down standing
timber 10 capacity on account OF the ey-
cess profits tax and certain mills, refusing
20 sacrifice their assets, have closed tenn
porarily. a large producer estimates that
within the next five Years 80 mills IN
Texas and Louisiana will be out of bust
ness. Some holdings may last 80 years.
Europe needs lumber hut will not come
heavily into the market until the exchange
situation il cleared. II is estimated that
England needs 4OO, 900 new houses.

even out of the window, nor do we
sell any furniture we should be
ashamed or reluctant to expose in
window.
Still less are we afraid of not
having it bought The demand for
good furniture is in excess of the
supply, and here we slip word of
counsel:
1t does not make any difference
to US hour early in the month you
make your purchases in this sale,
but 1t rs sure to make q difference
to you.
The Sale opens with an abund-
ance of furniture-more trainloads
than we would like 70 say, for fear
people might think we were exag-
geratlng. But it also opens with a
great many shrewd people attend
ing, people aware that this is their
halycon time TO acquire furniture.

lists).
OF course, you must know that
the best and ripest apples will be
the first to drop off the tree.
TINE main facts are that IN a
time OF extraordinary short
age We have got the goods:
That, in time of soaring prices,
We are bringing the prices down on
tens Of thousands of pieces of the
finest furniture in America:
=,
cient abundance of this furniture
with prices all to come down, but
that it is all fine furniture, good,
sound, reliable, and undoubted:
And that these first days of the
Sale will offer the cream of the
opportunities.
But they will not exhaust the op-
portunities. For this is no breath
less scrlmmage, no rush or rum
mage, III which the excitement of
the hour, or sensational, not TO say
miraculous, prices, are invoked to
give meretricious aid in showing
off on the public goods burdensome
to the seller. (Spell that last word
either way).
The public by this time knows
pretty we'll the inns and outs of
furniture buying, and for thirty
years has known all about Wanna

result is glad to buy Wanamaker

Now the time has come, the
people surge in, the furniture be-
gins to move out to the homes, there
to undergo sharp scrutiny, there to
stand and give service for years and
represent Wanamaker standards to
its possessors.
We hare got to make all these
statements good
Not we ourselves, but the public
who will critically examine the fur
niture before they put their valued
money into it, will be the ones to
render judgment as to whether we
make them good.
Against the decision of the pub
lie there is no appeal.
So lrt0t are ,ce going to do about
it.?
The answer will be found, not in
advertising, and not even in the SO
great display windows that show
the loneliness of selected pieces of
furniture.
1t will be found in the sample
pieces of furniture, covering more
than five acres, now displayed on
our Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Floors.
all tagged with their genuine sale
reduction prices.
"ODAY, therefore, and every
day of this opening week of
the Sale, and in fact, every
day while the Sale lasts, viii be a
day of disclosures.
We are confident that it will dis
close such quantity, such variety,
such quality and such desirability
of furniture placed in the Sale as
will back up the strongest state
ments we have made about it, and
would have backed up still stronger
ones, save that these were not
needed.
The mere announcement that a
February Sale of Wanamaker Fur
niture was on the calendar has al
ready brought, during the three pre-
hminary days of inspection, and will
bring throughout the whole month
of February, not only thousands of
people in and about Philadelphia. but
also hundreds that live in distant
States, each of whom feels it worth
while to make a special trip to
Philadelphia to see what we have
and to make selections from it.
They will give the answer as to
whether or not we have made our
promises good.
We are not disturbed about that
answer. We are not afraid of hav
ing any of our furniture bought.
