FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR SERVICE men
An Exceptional Opportunity is
Offered by the Young Mems
Christian Association.

Former service men who have not AL
ready filed applications for one of the free
scholarships offered by the Y. NJ. &. A..
educational service for dernobolzed men
may do so Mt once, according 10 Herbert
II. Ward, chairman of the Wilmington
Y. M. G. A. educational service committee.
"The opportunity is open to every ex-
soldier. sailor, marine and orphaned son
of veteran who served in the late war, -
said Mr.. Ward. These scholarships will
be awarded discharged service men,
Americans who served with our Allies,
or sons of Americans who died in the
service during the World War, and are
offered with no restriction other than the
mans ability to carry through the edtica-
tional program for which he applies.
The free scholarship plan is a continue
ton, in behalf of the demobolizcd men,
of the work of the Y. M. &. A. educational
commission overseas. In April 1919 the
so-called khaki college" organized by
General pershinp's order by the American
Y. M. G. A.. in France. Belgium, Germany
and Great Britain, was turned over To the
War Department. together with its entire
personnel of instructors and executives,
The responsibility of the Army and
Navy for the education of the service men
ceased upon his return to civil life. At tile
same time occupational readjustment
together with the high cost OF living made
additional educational training all the
more necessary. IL is for this reason and
to assist in the movement to overcome
the present day unrest, that the War Work
Council of the Y. NJ e. A. has decided TO
continue its educational service. Scholar
ships will bo of three types; First, those
granted in the Y NJ. &. A., or other ac-
credited schools of equal rank. Second,
scholarships in technical schools and uni
yersities, and third, correspondence courses
in such subjects as soils and fertilizers,
farm crops. productive orchardng, engi-
neering, mathematics, commercial sub
iects, and other lines of study which will
make il possible to serve the wants OF the
majority of our ex-service men.
Applicants who qualify for free scholar
ships may enroll in either day or night
schools. Those DESTROYS OF entering a
course not available at the local Y. M. G.
A. will be awarded scholarship in aschool
accredited by the educational committee.
All applications for free scholarships
should be made either direct or by mail

WATER POWER BILL
HELD BY COURTESY
important Legislation Delayed Be
cause Member is Held Up by
Another Matter.
special Dispatch From Every Evening s
Washington CORRESPONDENT

special Dispatch From Every Evening S
Washington Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 2-Champions of
water power legislation are chagrined be-
cause although the Water Power bill was
passed BY the Senate more than two
weeks ago the conferees have done abso-
lutely nothing to complete its enactment
into law. There are no lnsuperable diff
culties to block the way to an agreement
between the House and Senate conferees,
but Representative Esch of Wisconsin,
who is chairman of the interstate COM
merce committee Of the House, is tied up
on the railroad conference.
The conferees on the Water Power bill
will not proceed without the presence of
Mr.. Esch. though they could very well do
this because they all know just how far he
will 60 in the way of concession. In fact
there is a general agreement already
among the conferees on the Water Power
oil, and this has only to be given at
meeting of the committee when the way
will be open for the final enactment into
law of what the President and influential
members in both parties have been trying
for the past SIX years to induce Congress
to pass upon.
This Congress, however, appears to be
determined to accomplish very little and
10 accomplish ii in Its own way. The con-
ferees could get together and in one hour
could formally agree on what already has
been informally accepted. The House
would adopt the conference report as a
matter of form and send it to the Senate,
where it would be agreed to without a
roll call.
The Senators from New York, the Sena-
tors from New England, the Senators from
Delaware and the Senators from Washing
ton, Oregon, New Jersey, Montana and
other States are constantly urging action,
but apparently TO no purpose. 1t is
generally recognized that the Water
Power bill is needed and it is known that
the completion of industrial plants repre-
senting scores of millions of dollars await
the signature of President Wilson to the
measure. But Mr.. Esch is trying to iron
out the Railway bill. and it would not be
courteous to proceed without him. these
champions of very costly system Of
legislative ethics say.
II looks as though the completion of
water power legislation must await final
action on the Railway bill and this day
seemed somewhat remote. The conferees
have not reached final decision on any
important item In the bill.

COOPERATION OF
PENINSULA PRESS
Assured at the Annual Meeting
of the Del-Mar-Via As
ISOLATION.

Ii developed at the banquet, IN tho
Hotel du Pont, rs part OF the ahnuai
meeting of the Del-Mar-Va Press Associa-
ton, on Saturday afternoon, that there
is a general desire. on the part of the news
parers of the peninsula, to cooperate Tor
The general good. Several OF the speakers
talked this line and along their remarks
were assented TO by the, Others present.
That the organization shall not DC per-
mitted to become dormant, 1T was decided
TO have some real get-together gatherings
between the annual meetings. The first
one will be held in April, and already in
yitations have been received from Sails
bury and Easton, Md. and Salisbury,
while the association is always welcome in
Wilmington Ii is likely that the April
meeting viii not, however, be held here.
1t was decided that a QUESTIONABLE
ON rates should be sent out by the as
ISOLATION TO all the newspapers of the
Dclmarvia Peninsula.
At the luncheon in the Hotel du Pont
club" Mavor William G.. TAYLOR well
coined the out-of-town members to the
city and spoke of the real need of closer
corporation between this city and lower
Delaware and the Eastern Shore. He was
warmly applauded.
Frank Williams, of the Cecil Wing, of
Elkton, delivered an eloquent address in
which he advocated an independent press,
free from political or personal bias and
influence He declared the public quick
TO respond with its support OF such Jour
mails.
John Il. Lambson, general manager of
the store of kennard d Co. praised the
newspapers for what they had done for
Wilmington. and declared he had no sym
pathv with those persons who objected
to Wilmington papers carrying out-of-
town advertising. Just as Wilmington
firms placed advertising in newspapers
down the State and on the Eastern Shore,
he said, so Philadelphia firms should be
free to place advertising In papers in
this city.
r. L. Jackson, managing editor of the
Wicomico News of Salisbury, Md, an
nounced that his paper has bought
site for q new building the erection to
begin soon. He invited the association 10
meet there Mt future date.
A general discussion. and question
naire was held on advertising end sub
scription rates. The speakers on this
topic were Everett c. Johnson, Z. G.
Johnson, Colonel Townsend, Colonel
Wickes, =. L. Williams, George Carter,
4. r. Saylor, and Clarence j. Pyle.
The decision of President S. L. Shana-
han of the Star-Democrat of Easton, Md,
20 accept reelection for the ensuing year
was gratifying to the membership. In
fact, the same is true Of all of the other
officers, who were also reelected, as follows:
Vice president, George Carter, Evening
Journal; secretary and treasurer, William
+. Metten, Every Evening; executive
committee, Theodore Townsend, Milford

HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Though Fircmen Were Delayed by
, Distance of Call Box, They
Did Good Work.

Dsmage amounting to about $500 was
caused by fire on the third floor of the
Howard High School, Twelfth and Orange
streets, Saturday night about ii O'Clock.
The district fire companies extlnauished
the blaze without difficulty. The fire Is
supposed to have been started by some
bows who got into the school. An InvestI-
cation is being made.
The fact that the box that was struck,
No 81, at Fourteenth and Washington
streets, is four blocks west of the school,
confused some of the firemcp, who first
went to the box. incidentally, there is no
fire box very near the school, the
nearest being at Tenth and Orange
and the next nearest Of Thirteenth and
King This seems to be an argument
favoring the location of a fire box near
each of the large schools.
A leaking gas Jet is supposed to have
caused a slight fire in the bathroom of
the Stats residence, 404 Shipley street,
Saturday night about 10 o'clock. A still
alarm to the Delaware Fire Co. brought
the chemical which quickly extinguished
the blaze with practically no damage.
The home of Ida Bell, 5l3 Madison
street, was slightly damaged by blaze of
undetermined origin, shortly after 10
o CLOCK yesterday morning. Inc hre Is
thought to have originated in a pile of
rubbish In the cellar. NJ. J. Carney, 500
Madison street, saw smoke issuing from
the rear cellar window and telcphoned the
Weccacoe Fire Co, which extinguished
the blaze with little difficulty.
Two false alarms were sounded shortly
after midnight. One was turned in from
Box l62. Ninth and Church at LOS O'Clock
and from Row 81 Soyrpth and
Church at las O'Clock. The police in
vestigated both cases. but failed TO ascer-
tain who sounded the alarms

ROW OVER MILK.
Between the Delaware and Tri-Statc
Producers Associations.

The Delaware Milk Producers Associa-
ton held its annual meeting on Saturday
and elected the following officers: James
Reynolds, Hockessin, president: John
L. ONeal, vice-president; Palmer G.
Dickey, Stanton secretary; John Mitchell,
treasurer; James Reynolds, John Stahl
and John Mitchell, executive committee;
A. +. Walker, Hockessin; William Cry

John Stahl, Greenville; John Bramble,
Kenneth Square: John +. ONeal, Mt.
Cuba: John Mitchell Hockessin; f.
Dawson, Elkton; Frank Whiteman, New
ark, directors.
During the meeting IL developed that
a split between the Delaware Milk Pro-
duoers' Association and the Tri-State AS
ISOLATION may result from alleged attempt
by members of the latter association to
enforce its rules in the matter of the
price of milk The Delaware Assoca-
ton is composed of milk producers and
dealers from this State. Tho Tri-State
Association comprises producers and
dealers from Delaware, New Jersey and
PENNSYLVANIA. The members of the Della
ware Association became affiliated with
the other association. some months ago
when they joined individually.
The difficulty is understood to have
arisen from large dealer connected
with the Delaware Association purchas-
ing milk in the vicinity Of Wilmington
and north into Pennsylvania at a price
higher than the Tri-State dealers wish
to paw. In order to compete with this
Delaware dealer, other members of the
Delaware Association have also outbid
members of the Tri-State Association
located in Philadelphia.
