RED CROSS PROGRAM
IN PEACE TIMES
Many Surprised to Learn Of Post
war Activities Now Under
Way.

Hundreds of visitors to the Delaware
State Fair at Elsmere, who have visited the
Red Cross booths, auditorium and first
aid tent, have been surprised with the big
program of peace-tlme work that the
workers are now engaged IN. Most of
them thought that when the war ended,
the Red Cross was dome" But those who
visited the booths In the wornen's and
children's building learned differently.
There they saw workers knitting various
articles and preparing dressings and doing
other things that the peacetime program
calls for. Some of the goods are being
shipped TO Europe. others being used at
home, some in this city.
The daylight moving pictures, shown in
the light and not In a darkened place, have
proved an interesting innovation. Work
ers from down-State branches of the Red
Cross who attended the lectures, have
inquired how they can obtain the films to
display before their members. They We're
greatly pleased with the pictures.
Although the auditorium was In a ouiet,
rather secluded section Of the fair grounds,
il was found by hundreds of visitors,
some of which have been faithful at
tendants almost daily at the lectures,
demonstrations and films. Next year, if
the exhibit is arranged for the fair, it is
planned to place the auditorium In a more
accessible location.
Lectures, demonstrations and films for
men, women and children, viii be given
this afternoon and evening.
In arranging the program, Mrs. Joseph
Bancroft, who is directly responsible for
the entire exhibit, aided by energetic
workers, sought to obtain the best material
for lectures, and other items on the daily
programs. In this she was eminently sue
cessful, as the friends made during the
week attest As one worker remarked
today, people go to the fair to be amused
and not 10 listen TO lectures, and ] think
the Red Cross display and the hundreds
who have attended the lectures, is a
splendid tribute TO the talent that Mrs.
Bancroft engaged"
Among the faithful workers at the fair
were the representatives of the George
town motor corps. They have gwen splen-
did cooperation throughout the week and
have been praised by all who had any
thing 90 do with the exhibit for the help
that has been given.

ADDITIONAL TAX
FOR MUNICIPALITY
Council Amends City License Or
dinance So as to Include
More Subjects.

The second Of the city license ordinances
(really an amendment) was passed last
night BY City Council and goes tosthe
mayer for his approval. This new ordi-
nance effects approximately 80 businesses.
A clause designed to eliminate the objec-
tions made to the original ordinance
when it was first presented is the only
important change. 1t specifies that only
one license shall be required on the main
license.
In other words. retail grocery store
will pay an annual hcense of $40 and
viii not be subject to any additional
tax under this ordinance. This ruling
affects many other businesses. The
elimination Of the slaughter house tax
of $50 and an increase in the fec of whole
sale grocers to 500, are the other import
ant changes. The tax Of $50 on manufact
turers was eliminated it being the plan of
council to tax manufacturers under the
next ordinance. Another change also
effects newspapers, daily papers being

The game was a one-sided affair, the
score being SO to 2, but the Staples

DARKNESS PREVENTS
EAGLES AND GIANTS
FROM BREAKING TIE

In pitchers battle in which both
hurlers became more effective with
the advancing innings, the Eagles and
the Giants battled eleven innings to
to 2 tie Sunday. The game was call
ed with one out in the first hair OF
the twelfth inning because of darkness
after a dispute had arisen over ball
knocked. near the first base line.
The Giants had their lineup bolster.
ed up with few A. B. C. players and
they made the argument considerably
stronger However, 1t was clearly
seen that if the Eagles had played
sensible baseball in place Of haphaz-
ard ball, in which efforts were made
to steal when 1t meant sure outs, and
mediocre fielding featured, they would
have had little difficulty in defeating
the colored team.
McChrowry, catching for the Giants,
had a good peg to second and in spite
of this the Eagle base runners would
invariably try to cop the bag, not be-
coming discouraged until four Of them
had been sacrificed which might have
meant runs.
Byrkett led the field in hitting get
ting four hits out of five trips to the
pan: Hawekotte increased in effective
ness with the late innings in the tenth
tanning two men with six balls pitched
and forcing the other to go out on an
easy grounder.
Farmland will again appear here
next Sunday against the Eagles.

Mowe Fears Some Men
Too Confident of Places

Earlham is swinging into the last
week Of practice before the opening
of the football season with Hanover
on Reid Field next Saturday after
noon. The Maroon and White have a
fair lineup, but Coach Move says sew
eral players are too confident and may
be disappointed in the first game Of
the season.
He believes that he has a team of
good men but that a great many of
them have not had enough experience
to make them shape into the best kind
of team until late in the season. He
expects them to put up a good game
against Hanover. but a large score
will not be tried for, the Quaker men
tor expecting to give most of his can
didates trial during the course Of
the game.
Leslie Pennington, who was injured
in scrimmage last Friday will be out
of the game for the rest of the season
as it was found his collar bone had
been fractured.
Scrimmages will be INDUCED in by
the Quakers during the first part of
the week in order to perfect their de-
Tense line and also to get the new
backfield men broken in to carrying
the ball

CINCINNATI, Sept. 26.-The Reds
regained their batting eyes in the open
ing game of the series with Pitts
burg here Sunday afternoon and
pounded out more runs in one game
than they have been able to get in
the past week Of playing. Incidentally,
IT. broke their losing streak OF six
games. The final score was to 0.
Napier, the recruit Highlander, who
has been going good since joining the
Reds. handled the Pirates without
gloves and with the sensational sup
port given him, was able to shut them
cut. Babe Adams. who handed the
Reds an awful walloping at Pittsburg
last week, essayed a comeback and
was driven from the mound in three
innings.
The Reds sailed the game away in
the first frame. With one out, Daubert
and Groh singled and Roush beat out
a perfect and unexpected bunt. Dun
can lined a single to left and Nicholson
was SO anxious to make throw to the
plate he let the ball get past him and
it went to the fence. The hit and
wobble cleaned the bases and four
runs were made. The Reds added two
more in the sixth and kept up the good
work in the seventh and eighth. The
Reds are now fighting for third
place. The score:
