ISSUES MAP OF STATE
HIGHWAY SYSTEM
Equitable Trust Co. Renders
Valuable Service to
Motorists

Delawareans are justly proud
of the new system of State High
ways, part of (which is ALREADY
completed, with. the prospect of
the most of the highways COM
pleted this year.
1t is generally conceded that
our State Highway Department,
which ranks with any in the United
States, has under construction a
system of roads that will be when
completed, a monument to its
faithfulness and engineering abil-
ity.
In order to render a service to
the public by acquainting it with
the various routes taken by the new
roads through the State, the Equit-
able Trust Company has just issued
the first commercial map of the
system, printed on the front of a
blotter.
This map will appeal particu,
larly to motorists and it is under
stood will also be issued on a dur
able card so that it may be carried
in the car. The map appears at a
most opportune time as everyone
knows that a run down the State
through the finest orchards in the
country is real pleasure and many
Wilmingtonians will be glad to take
the trip when they know that there
is an improved State road as far
south as Dover, a distance of fifty
miles.
The section between Dover and
Milford is not yet completed, but
the Du Pont boulevard from Mil
ford to Selbyville is acknowledge to
be one of the finest examples of
road construction in the country.
Copies Of the map may be had
on application to the Trust Com,
pany.

Shakespearean Play
To Be Presented
Two Colleges to Give Joint Per-
Torrance on Wolf Hall
Terrace

On Thursday evening, May ~,
at 8 o'clock, the second annual
outdoor play will be presented
on the Wolf Hall Terrace, OH the
stage used for the electra last
spring. Shakespeare's GA Mid
summer Nights Dream" is the
play selected for the performance,
and students of the Women's Col
lege will again join with Delaware
College students in the cast. The
play will be timed so as to end
soon enough for out-of-town peo-
pie to catch the Pennsylvania
train. In case Of rain, the per-
Torrance will be postponed to the
next clear evening.
Just what these outdoor plays
mean to the College is hard to
estimate. The cast numbers sixty
people this year, it is recruited
from both colleges, and it in
cludes students from almost every
State from New York to Alabama.
There will be a large crowd Of
visitors, as indicated by the adj
vance sale of tickets-perhaps
four or five hundred, many Of
them coming to see the College for
the first time. Appealing las a
play does to people Of varied ages
and tastes, GA Midsummer
Nights Dream should hold a
unique place in the college year.
A special feature Of the play
this year will be the fairy dances,
rehearsed by Miss Marion Wat
son. The Cobweb Dance and the
solo dance Of Miss Louise Francis
are said to be particularly fine,
and the dance of the elves is an
amusing grotesque.
The costumes are being made
under the direction of Miss Eliza
beth Howell, under the supervi-
sion of Misses Florence Hubbard
and O. L. Dikeman. Few people
have seen any Of the costumes as
yet, because Miss Howell keeps
them under lock and key; but
they are said to be exceptionally
well-designed, very' much superior
to the costumes Of last year s play.
Three of the songs for which
Mendelssohn wrote his famous set
tings will be sung by a chorus of
voices under the direction of Miss
Dora Wilcox.
The cast is being rehearsed by
DR.. J. R. Moore, who has the gen
eral direction Of the production
Part of the proceeds of the play
will be given to the College An.
nual and to the Chess Club, the
only organization in college which
undertakes intercollegiate compe'
tition with no financial support
except the dues paid by its mem
bers.
The seating arrangements this
year are ITO be much better thar
those Of last May. Chairs will be
provided for everyone, and nc
bleachers will be used. Standing
room will be sold, as for "Elec.
tra,' to all who fail to secure
seats in advance; and the campus
will be closed to all who do not
hold tickets or badges emitting
the wearers to standing room
Tickets are on sale at Rhodes
Drug Store at $1.10, SO cents and
So cents, including war tax.
The cast is as follows:
Thesus, Joseph H. Fairbanks.
Lysander, j. Woodward Olcott
Demetrius. Alvan Allen.

Calm and Reasonable
Discussion of
School Code

The calm and reasonable discus
sions of the proposed changes in the
school law, which are now going on
throughout the State, indicate that
the hysteria has subsidized, and that
the subject is now being looked at in
the light which should have illuminat-
ed it from The oeginning-that we
should offer t. our children the best
educational facilities our means and
circumstances will afford.

PERCENTAGE
SUPPORT CEMETER

There are approximately 1850 lots
in Elmwood cemetery and out Of this
number 1852 have been sold. De-
Quoting 552 as representative Of the
number of who have moved
away from Mexico or who are no lon
ger living, there remain possibly a
thousand persons living in this city
who should belong to the Elmwood
Cemetery Association. According to
the book of the treasurer Of the Or
ganization there are only two hundred
paid up members, and from the annual
membership fees Of this compar-
atively small number, plus what the
city has been allowing for the pur-
pose, the burying ground has to be
kept in condition. The money thus
obtained is not sufficient.
AS a remedy for the situation it is
being urged that all those who are
able endow their lots with the sum
of 500. Many, however, will feel
that they car not afford to pay this
much at n time. The alternative is
to join the association and pay three
dollars each year.
There will always be some lots in
Elmwood Cemetery which will have
to be cared for at the expense of per.
sons other than the owners for some
are not financially able to pay the an
nual fee of three dollars, and others,
such as the $50 mentioned above, are
gone from here. Because of this nee
essary expense, for which the asso-
citation gets no remuneration, those
who are living in Mexico and who ate
able should be particularly mindful
not to neglect paying their dues.
A gravel road running in front of
six blocks in the cemetery was built
recently at the expense of the city
and association. This was necessary
to enable the motor cars to enter the
grounds and make a turn to come out
without getting mired in the mud.
Other improvements are essential
from time to time. A beautiful GENE
terry speaks well for a community and
to have a we'll kept one requires
money. Unless the people who have
relatives buried in Elmwod supply the
money to cart for the graves it will
not be forthcoming. Let every owner
of a lot see to it that he does his share
toward the up-keep of what is his as
much as any ones else and pay the
Association membership fee.
