There's nothing very ro-
mantle about Hosiery-that is to say,
mems hosiery - but when it comes
to selecting an inexpensive gift, you
can go much farther and fare a lot
worse.
We've heard men complain that they
had too many of this or too much Of
that, but we never heard one com
plain of surplus of hosiery. Even
the best hose wear out all too quickly
Our hosiery was purchased at much
lower prices than have prevailed for
years. Consequently, there's a finan-
cial as well as a quality advantage in
buying here.

NEGRO DAY NURSERY
RECEIVERS FROM FIRE
Institution at 7Oo French Street
Remodeled and Reopened to
the Public.

Yesterday afternoon the Hospital and
Day Nursery for Colorcd Children, at 700
French street, which was partially destroy
ed by fire last February, was reopened.
Since February, during the restoration OF
the front part of the building where the
fire occurred, the nursery and hospital
were maintained in the rear of the build
ing. The two lower floors in which the pa
tients stay have been thoroughly renovat-
cd and painted in light gray.
The day nursery, which occupies the
first floor, has at present is children on the
roll. These children are from two months
to four years of age and are IN care of the
matron, Mrs Marie l.. Jones.
The hospital occupies the entire second
floor. Except in cold, or rainy weather,
the little patients are kept constantly on
large veranda on the south side of the
building. At present IL children are being
cared for and now that the hospital Is re-
opened 1t is expected that the number Will
soon be much larger.
The hospital and nursery were estab-
lished in January, 1919 1t is partially
subsidized by the State, which appropr-
ates 81 900 year, and partially by the sub
scriptions of persons who know of the ex-
cellent work which is being done among
the colored children and desire to see it
continued.
During the past year, partly as an in
westment, bu; also in preparation for
future expansion, the building at I'll
French street was purchased by the hos
pital authorities for $1,000. Colored
people have raised 81 900 to help pay for
the new building. At present it is being
rented for apartments and the revenue
derived from it is being employed TO re-
duce the amount still due on the property
and in the work at the hospital and nurs-
cry, next door.
Yesterday afternoon and last evening
large number of visitors inspected the hos
pital and nursery and much praise was
voiced for the excellent work which is
being carried on.
The staff is as follows: Physicians, Drs.
J. B. Stubs, Harvey A. Murray, Fl. Clay
Stevens and Conwell Banton; superin-
tendent, Miss Sadie Jefferson, r. N;

MAY DEFER INCREASE
IN TROLLEY FARE
Public Utility Commission Not
Expected to Act Finally
Tonight.

That there will be no immediate in
crease of fares granted to the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company by
any action of the Public Utility Commits
sion this evening Is the general impression
of those who have been following the mat
ter closely.
That the Traction Company has COM
piled with the mandate of the Commits
sion by submitting a detailed appraisal
of its plant and equipment used for trans
portation purposes, on the basis of which
the increase of fares to eight cents on
present prices and rates, with n possible
ten cent figure if costs do not decline, is
admitted.
Whether the appraisal shall be accept
cd by the commission without being check
ed as to facts and verified as TO method
and conclusion is the present hitch.
City Solicitor John W. Huxley, Jr.,
said this morning that he had suggested
to the commission that if the services of
a competent accountant seemed to them
necessary in order to satisfy them fully,
as to the appraisal submitted, it would
be wise to secure such services, rather than
act on something which they did not un-
derstand, this matter being one for an
accountant, rather than lawyer Mr.
Huxley will not be at the meeting, as he
is going out of town.
While the session of the board, IN the
Mayors Office, at 8 o'clock this evening
is public one, no public hearing has been
announced and it is not considered likely
that other than routine business will be
transacted.
The company insists that An Scent
fare is necessary If it is to live. A survey, as
made by an expert, based on valuation
and operating expenses, places the actual
requirement at 913 cents for fare, but the
has merely renewed it's former
request for the right to charge eight cents.

DELAWARE HAS A
fine OPPORTUNITY
Prof. Dallas L. Sharp Commends
r. S. du Points Aid to Demo
cratic Education.

Professor Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston
University, during visit to Wilmington,
Yesterday afternoon, commended Pierre ,.
ou Points desire To install democratic
education in the public schools. lie SAID
the general plan is thrilling and Delaware
Is almost the only State in the Union foot
free To undertake the great experiment.
With the du Points democratic spirit and
p,crrc's high regard for education, Pro-
fcssor Sharp added, Delaware has a great
or opportunity than other States. He
remarked that IL is like virgin soil hero
and stated the whole world would watch
Delaware TO see the result of the expert
mcnt.
Harvard has a teachers college, Pro-
fcssor Sharp said, but it docs not produce
many teachers for public schools. Pro
fcssor Sharp disagreed with President
Eliot, who declared that public schools
tend 10 mcdiocrity and private schools to
superiority, that no advantage is derived
from public schools and advancement is
obtained only in private schools and that
general education is not for the public
anyway and superior education IS not
given 10 the general crowd.
After describing various educational
systems in New England, Professor
Sharp praised Delaware College and told
the interviewer he saw chance of it be-
coming the head and centre Of Delaware
educational system and part of the demo
cratic scheme. He stated that the whole
experiment, when worked out, would
prove that the common people can be
educated up 20 a high school course. lie
thought Mr.. du Points experiment should
appeal to every Delawarean and should be
given hearty support. :,
Delaware is small and perhaps the
most English State in the Union" Pro-
fcssor Sharp continued. "It represents IN
traditions, customs and names a purer
Americanrsm than can be found IN any
other part of the country, and for that
reason the educational experiment IN
democracy can be put through here with
greater ease and speed"
Professor Sharp considered select
schools the greatest menace to democratic
education in Delaware and said schools
giving advantages TO children IN the re-
hottest part of the State would be the
most beneh

FLESH ON WRIST IS TORN AWAY BY SHOT
 FROM AUTOMATIC GUN

Willie Miller, 342 North First ave nue, was severely injured last Sunday morning when his shotgun was acci- dentally discharged while hunting along the Salt river about five miles west of Buckeye. The charge from the gun entered the right wrist of young
 Miller, breaking the bones and almost severing the hand from the arm. A
 portion of the charge, including the
 waddtng in the shell, entered the right
 arm near the shoulder
 The accident occurred as Miller was
 unloading his automatic Winchester shotgun, the gun going off while he had his right hand over the muzzle William Bertram, who was one of the hunting party, placed a tourniquet on Millers arm at once. He was rushed in an auto to Buckeye. where Dr. H. A Hughes, Jr., treated the wound. Miller then was brought to St Joseph's hos pital. where Dr. R. W. Craig cleaned and treated the wound.
 Latest reports from the hospital are that young Miller will recover unless complications from the wound in the upper part of the arm set in. It is l thought that the hand will not have to
 be removed and that young Miller will
 be able to use the thumb and first finger. The other three fingers and the wrist will be stiff, it was stated. Willie Miller is the eldest son of the late Jacob Miller one of the pioneers o1

 That it will be impossible to admit all who are waiting for entrance was stated yesterday by Clayton Bennett, secretary to the board. MT. Bennett said that the old building is now hous- ing. it's capacity of 66, while the new wing will provide for not more than 40 more. 1t is only in rare instances that vacancies, other than by death. occur, he said.
