THINGS TO- REMEMBER

Never turn in false alarm. 1t
costs the fire department money, and
may cost human life as we'll.
Never throw down a match, cigar
or cigarette without first seeing that
the fire is thoroughly extinguished 1t
may save somebody's building from
burning. Incidentally, wath the sparks
from your pipe.
Never fill lamps or oil stoves by
artificial light--it is dangerous.
Oily rags and mops cause spontan.
e0us combustion and destroy property.
Keep them in an approved closed
metal can.
Do not allow a fire hazard Of any
kind to remain on the premises. A
days delay in removing it may cost
you home for life.
DO not smoke while handling gaso.
line about your automobile or truck
1t may explode and destroy the ma
chine, as it has done many times fol-
other people.

The long-awaited Rex Ingram pro-
duction of "The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" is coming to the Opera
House Monday. This is the picture
that cost Metro $1,000,000 to make,
and, from all accounts the $1,0O0,OOO
was we'll spent, as critics agree that
all other efforts at production on a
grand scale have been surpassed and
record runs have been made in New
York, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh,
Detroit, Los Angeles and other cities
where the picture has been previously
shown. Fifty principals and $500 ex-
tras were engaged in the filming of
the photodrawa, an entire French Will
age and an elaborate chateau were
erected to be destroyed under the ar
tillery bombardment of the German
invaders, and more than 125,000 tons
of masonry, steel, lumber and furni-
ture were used in creating back
grounds that are said to reproduce
with absolute fidelity the shifting pan
Drama of the story. The appeal of the
! story itself has already been PROVED
through the success of the novel b!
Vicente Blasco Ibanez, upon which the
photodrama is founded. Its salt
throughout the world runs into thu
millions, but millions more will prob
ably have it revealed to them the frs
time through the medium of the scree1
production. This production is report
ed to have followed faithfully the cpl
tale of human passion against I'll
background of the Great War as re
lated by Ibanez.

FIRE EATS BARN; NEW CASTLE
Property of S. S. Deemer and John
Relik. Tenant. PREY to Flames

Fire of undetermined origin about
$50 o'clock Friday night destroyed
the large barn and its contents on The
S. S. Deemer farm, near New Castle
entailing an estimated loss of about
$4,000 to the tenant, John Belik, and
a $4,000 loss to Mr.. Deemer. The
losses were partly covered by insur-
ance of about $4,000 on Belik's person
al property and about $4,000 on the
destroyed building. Two horses and
five cows belonging to Belik were re-
moved from the blazing building, but
the men folk were unable to remove a
4OO-pound hog, about 200 laying hens,
large turkeys and several geese. Mr.
Belik also lost all his farming imple-
ments, wagons, about 40 tons OF feed
ing hay and 1400 bushels of corn. The
fire was discovered by two men board
ers of Belik. The barn was in mass
of flames when first seen. The Good
Will Fire Company found efforts to
save the burning building would be
fruitless and turned their attention to
saving the two-and-a-halfstory brick
dwelling, about 100 feet distant. The
fremen were compelled to fight the
fire, after saving the dwelling, for
more than four hours before the fire
was subdued. A scene that touched
the spectators, which numbered more
than 1000, was the flying of scared
chickens, which would light in the
flames and be consumed. The illumi-
nation could be plainly seen for dis
tance Of more than ten miles. Inquir-

S17 FOR VACATED SCHOOL
Prof. Holloway Does not Want TO
Servo as AuctiOneer Again


DIR. H. V. Holloway, State SupeIin-
tendent of public instruction, who auc-
toned the school house at Stockley,
Sussex county, in which white chill
dren had been educated during the
past 25 years, does not want to serve
as auctioneer again. Low bidding dis
couraged him.
A multitude attended the sale, which
was held last Saturday, and the large
attendance gave DR.. Holloway hoped
that full value would be paid for the
building, but the highest bid was only
SIT, a sum far below the worth of the
property. Acceptance of SO as the first
offer "queered" the sale. Competition
was spirited, but the bidding advanced
only in 81 leaps, After SIT had been
offered DIR. Holloway vainly pleaded
for higher bids, telling school remini-
SCIENCES and otherwise appealing to the
crowd, and when the attempt to OBJ
tain larger offers failed he sold the
building to a farmer for SIT.
The old school house adjoins an or
nate and fully equipped building,
which were recently erected with the
assistance of the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association to modernize
Stockley's educational facilities. After
being moved to a farm near the sub
urbs the old school house will be useC
as a barn. It's prospective use is &

Prohibition Unit Earn
ing More For Govern
ment Than 1t Spends
Report Shows II Is Not Difficult TO
Obtain Convictions Under
Law.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 25.-Although
the federal prohibition unit of the
internal revenue bureau was not
created in the expectation that it
would prove self-sustaining, a COM
pilation of figures just issued from
the Washington headquarters of the
unit shows that the United States
Treasury is ahead of the game by
reason of its activities. The cost of
the efforts to enforce prohibition for
the last fiscal year was S6,250.095.
The chief items of expense were sal
aries, totaling S3,500,000, and travel
ing expenses, totaling ST 100000.
The appropriation and eXpendi-
ture of this sum of money has made
the prohibition unit the object of
much criticism upon the part of those
who were opposed to the Eighteenth
Amendment and its enforcement, AT
the time the appropriations were
made to carry the units its critics
claimed it would cost the govern
ment more to attempt to enforce pro-
hibition than the liquor traffic had
cost the nation economically before
the days of prohibition. 1t was also
predicted that the initial appropria-
ton would have to be supplemented
and that future appropriations would
