mess at Kansas City, Mo. He main
tanned this business five or six years
| At the time of his death he was asso-
ciated with the Pickering Lumber COM
pany as manager Of that company's
st. Louis branch. It was while he
was with this company that he was
taken Ill at St. Louis in December,
1873. Mr.. Modes also has been asso-

souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Okla
bona and Iowa, and his host of friends
will grieve his death.

ing welcome because of his Sim Fem
sympathies and his statements made
recently in America in open advocacy
of an Irish republic. Thousands as
semIbled at Liverpool to cheer him and
if the government feared riot. There
was a rumor that Mannix would be
taken off at Fishguard but the Baltic
passed that point without stopping.
The government at first did not re-
veal where the archbishop was taken
off the Baltic. For an hour, however,
the liner was anchored off Queenstown
surrounded by destroyers and it is
thought the transfer may have been
made then, within sight Of Irish soil.

The list of speakers for the
child welfare conference schedul-
ed for Dover on December 3rd and
4th is headed by Owen R. Love-
joy, General Secretary of the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee,
and Wiley H. Swift, Special Agent
on Laws and Administration for
that organization. Mr.. Lovejoy,
whose subject will be "Founda-
tions of Good Citizenship" is
recognized as one of the greatest
leaders in child welfare work in
the world. He is called the Chill
dren's Statesman" because of his
long years of successful service
for the protection and education
of children. Unquestionably the
country's foremost authority on
child labor, he is also deeply in
terested and thoroughly practical
in regard to the whole broad field
of humanitarian service. He views
child welfare in all it's relations
and aspects. He considers health,
education and other advantages
for children of equal Importance.
Mr.. Lovejoy is a platform speaker

deep sense of the cause of child
hood, tempered with an unusual
balance and sense of proportion.
He is never over serious, and al
ways ready with a "human inter-
est" story to illustrate his point.
He will outline what are the ap-
proved standards for legislation
to meet the various needs of all
classes of children and will be
glad to discuss local problems of
law and administration with those
caring to do so.
Other speakers on the program
are the executives of organiza-
tions promoting the conference.
The conference program offers an
unusual chance for people to be-
come informed on the interdepen-
dence of various branches of child
welfare work, and to learn what is
going on or is contemplated for
such work in Delaware. All who
are interested are urged to attend
the meetings, and take part in dis
cussions following the addresses,
if they care to do so.

of exceptional distinction and
power. 1t has been said of him
that he has the rare ability to
make figures and facts as inter-
esting and thrilling as a chapter
in a novel. Added to his mastery
of whatever subject he talks upon
is the eloquent charm of his
personality, that combines force,
warmth and the grace of a ready
sense of humor. He challenges
the interested attention of his
audience at all times by his mes
sage, expressed in a logical, con-
vincing way, full Of delightful
surprises at every turn. A strong
common sense that commends him
to all, runs through his arguments
and suggestions. Wiley H. Swift,
special agent on laws and admin
istration for the National Child
Labor Committee, who has chosen
for his subject Laws and the
Child" is another man of unusual
attainments. He has made a study
of laws relating to children and
is broadly conversant with their
operation. He is imbued with a

Captain McCaughan Stars

Captain McCaughan, playing his
last football game for Delaware,
was the big feature of the days
attraction. Taking backs places
and plowing through the line for
huge gains, intercepting forward
passes, outpunting Poole, his re-
nowned adversary, and playing
one of the best tackling games of
his career, Sank proved he was all
which has been said of him in the
past. kid" Donaldson, Magee,
Holton, Schaffer and Elliott all
featured on the defense and the
two latter men were good for
many gains. The remaining men
of the Delaware team did fine
work, too.
Paul Steel, a Newark High star
of last years eleven, played fine
game and was a consistent ground
gamer for Delaware. John Will
liams, another local lad, was in
the game only at the start for the
kickoff. His ankle, which had been
sprained in a previous game went
bad, however, and he was re-
placed by Rothrock early in the
game. Wintrup replaced Steel for
a brief period. He was taken out
later by Coach Shipley who feared
injury to the big players knee
which has been dislocated several
times this season.
Poole and Lyster were the best
bets for the soldier players. Cam
puzano was stopped with ease in

A few years ago a woman ! know In

who knew her We're aware that tins was

"But you can't get high rate of interest
