PARADE IN HONOR OF

the rehabilitation OF Poland and her right
ful restoration to place among the
nations Of the world. II seemed at first
hard to believe that this happy consum-
nation, so long desired, had actually
come to pass, but we all rejoiced and were
more than thankful at the realization of
this great event which is concretely brought
home to us tonight by the resencc here of
my good friend, Prince Casimir Lubomir-
ski, the able and efficient Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Ple1ipotentinry of
the Republic ofPolnnd TO the United States
of America
Beyond all this, my friends, | have
always felt deep personal note Of special
interest in the Polish nation, as my an
cestor, du Pont de Nemours, was con-
cerned for brief space Of time in its af-
fairs, having taken part in establishing
system OF national education for that
country. In July, IVA, he left Paris on
his three-weeks journey 10 Warsaw rail-
roads and automobiles being both ,in-
dreamed Of in those primitive days, and as
heexpected toremain for several years in
Poland he was ac ompanied by his wife and
two sons, the younger of whom was my
grandfather. His sojourn in that country
was brief, because the King of France
ordered him TO return home as his ser
vices were needed in his own country but
during the rest of his life du Z Mt de
Nemours always took deep and abiding
interest in the affairs of Poland and main

which was attached side show, which
was attracting several hundred young
men at so cents each, was broken up by
young women of the town Saturday
night.
The show feature consisted of fancy
dancing by two young women clad in
very sparse costumes. The applause of
the young men was so gleeful that it at
tracted the attention Of town girls.
Their sensiblities were so shocked at
the brazen antics of the dancers that they
promptly cut the ropes and pulled down
the tent on dancers and patrons. The
audience and artists at once became
tied up in the canvas and it required
several minutes to extricate themselves.
After crawling from beneath the de-
molished tent the two dancers boarded
an automobile, which was heading oward
Media. The speeding car was bombarded
with stones.

other beaches. Others. who had less time
and could cover less ground, packed up
picnic lunch and took IL out as far IN the
country as they could 60. Those who were
only able 10 travel near home made their
way to Brandywine Springs, Shellpot

To the man who has money TO in

able securities. This policy will result
in even higher taxes in the future and
a greater burden upon the real estate

The endowing of college athletics is
rather unusual in American college life,
but there is no denying that college
athletics need endowing in nearly all
the colleges in order to meet the bills.
This is perhaps especially true Of Mid
dlebury college, where the students
cannot hope to attract large crowds and
big gate receipts for their home con-
tests in order to pay the guarantees
demanded by college teams going to
Middlebury from distance. So the
students, graduates and faculty IF that
institution will no doubt acclaim the
munifcence of A. Barton Hepburn of
New York City, an alumnus of the in
stitution, who has just contributed
S65,075 in bank stock as the basis for
