RED CROSS
PLEADS CAUSE OF
HELPLESS CHILDREN
Asks Assistance of Americans
For Worthy Cause

Many branches and auxiliaries of
the Delaware Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross have pledged their will
ingness to assist in the clothing ap-
peal that has come from Europe. In
response to the letters sent out this
week by Mrs. Willard Hall Porter,
chairman of the Delaware Chapter of
the American Red Cross, several
branches will reorganize early next
week and will begin the work on the
layettes and garments for the children
of Europe. The supplies which will
be made and sent abroad will go to
the countries of Eastern Europe and
also relief will be given to the children
of the Russian refugees scattered
throughout the European continent.
No Red Cross supplies are being sent
to Germany, as the Friends Society
is working there.
Headquarters for the Delaware
work have been established in Old
Town Hall, Market street near Sixth,
Wilmington. Here garments may be
shipped when completed and the ma
terial will also be distributed to all
that care to aid in this work. The
headquarters will be used as a receiv-
ing and distributing station. A few
sewing machines have been establish
ed there so that women who find it
more convenient to work in town than
at home need not hesitate for the
want of facilities.
There is work for every one, as
eleven million children need clothes,
and one million layettes will be needed
this summer to save the lives of the
expected little ones. No patterns are
used in making the garments, as each
one is to make her own choice in con.
structing the clothing. All asked is
that every woman in Delaware will
do her part in helping the Red Cross
with this child welfare work TO,
Europe.
In addition to the garments which
have to be sewed there Is requested
articles of wool, such as sweaters
shawls, and socks for the children. A
the Old Town Hall there is a grea
deal of wool, to be given free to al
persons who will assist with thi
work. 1t is suggested that as summe
is coming on and vacations will be en-
joyed, that many knitters in the Stat
will take some of this wool to kni
into little garments on their holida
} period.

WILMINGTON ALUMNI
HAVE LUNCHEON
DR.. Hullihen Addresses Alum
nj at Noon Gathering


The Wilmington Chapter of
the University of Delaware
Alumni Association held its first
luncheon last Wednesday at
noon, in parlors A and B of the
Hotel du Pont. About fifty per-
sons attended, and the meeting
was very enthusiastic. College
yells heard in the days of yore
on the old Delaware Campus
were reborn and reverberated
thruout the halls of the hotel.
There was plenty Of music and
good victuals in addition.
The feature of the gathering
was the talk given by DR.. HULL
hen, who outlined a few of the
changes to occur around the Uni
versity in the near future. He
is extremely anxious for new
library, or an enlargement of the
old one, and stated that plans
will soon be laid for the neces-
sary construction. In addition,
DR.. Hullihen complimented the
Wilmington organization on it's
many activities and declared
that the chapter could and would
be of much value to its mother
institution.
A divergence was offered
when every man and woman
present was asked to stand up
and give his or her name, class,
and present occupation. This
miniature third degree" dis
closed the fact that classes from
1875 to 1920 were represented, a
fact worthy of qualification on
the part of all interested in Old
Delaware. A singular disclosure
in addition resulted. A family OF
three including father, mother
and son, all of whom had beer
graduated from the college, was
present. The father, Thoma:
Davis, was graduated in 1875
He was followed year later by
Mrs. Davis. The son, j. Rankin
Davis, was a member of the class
of 1911. Another anomaly il
the careers of these three is tn
fact that they were all taught b.
DR.. Theodore Wolf, former pro
lessor of chemistry at tn
t college.
E A very important meeting o
: the Wilmington Chapter will
, take place tonight at the Hote
r du Pont. At this meeting, tn
, committees on Scholarships
S Athletics, and Membership will
: make official reports.

Lesson from Salisbury

they are. There may be Rotary Clubs
and Chambers of Commerce with more

Last Monday the Delmarvia Press

annual spring session. We were en-
tertained by the Rotarians and the

Maine Alumni
Meets at Portland

The call issued short time ago to
al of the Maine University alumni in

ulatc interest and encourage the pro-
gram of athletics at the university

iastic meetings that have been held in
many years, the meeting taking place

ROOMS AND BOARD
Auburn Thieves Planned
To "COme Out" on Easter

Auburn, Me, March 26.-The Auburn
police have been unable to solve the
mystery of the breaks in three differ
ent places of business here on Friday
evening. Evidently the men planned
to prepare themselves for Easter as
they visited a cobblers shop, tailor
ing establishment and barber shop
At the cobbler's> shop they took a guam
tity of rubber heels, but it is not
known whether they attached them to
their shoes that they could move
about more quietly. At the tailor shop
they carried away several suits and
a number of Auburn's business men
will be missing from the regular Eas-
ter paraders. From the barber shop
they carried away the cash register
and a pair Of clippers. The register,
which contained about 40 cents, was
found thrown over an embankment.

many of the alumni from far distant
plans now contemplated will result in
the most active campaign for clean
and active programs in that depart
ment in the future. Among the speak
ers were William &. Cobb. Coach
Flack. Frank Preti, Philip Hussey, w.
D. Towner and others, all giving their
views in special departments.
There win be a meeting of the gen.
eral coma ittee today which will take

Lenethening Life of Silk Stocking

NO economies are small" says a
French proverb, and the professional
stocking members job is evidence c.
thrift Is understood by the Paris
ienne. Here" said one of the craft
"are 80 pairs of silk stockings which
have been through my hands more
times than / can count, and look at
them" They were patched and
darncd till there was little of the
original left. but as Elise remarked,
with boots they still make an eff
fect!" Before the war madame paid
three half-pence per pair to her men
der and provided the thread; now she
gives fourpence or fvepence and ex-
poets miracles of endurance from the
fragile web. Where the mender for
merly spent ten minutes she now
must devote all hour to some of these
stockings, and it is difficult to see
how she gets a living. But rf1adame's
motto is, Throw nothing away" and
she lives UP to it.

JAIME. Madison Studying under the Private Tutor

James in their welfare and edu-

James Madison was a youth Of
high moral principles. When a
candidate for the General Assem-

ton because he refused to treat tho
voters with whiskey. 1t was Gus
tomary in those days, in some Sec

by this manner Of treating, but to
James the practice was repulsiye

TAMES MADISON was a born
student, caring even in his
y childhood little for play and
the rough games that delight
healthy, robust boys. Many of the
Presidents enjoyed outdoor life
and took keen interest in hunt
ing and games of all sorts, but
young Madison would have none of
these. His father was a wealthy
planter and owned large tracts of
land in Virginia. The Madisons
were among the first settlers that
came to the Virginia Colony. James
studied mostly under a private
tutor in his oh home as the schools
Of that day were poor and few.
Even when 2 mere boy Madison
acquired q good deal Of Greek,
Latin, of French and Spanish. At
the age of eighteen he entered
Princeton College in New Jersey.
While there, he carried on his stud
les to such an extent that for
months together he had allowed
himself only three hours out Of the
twenty-four for sleep. This pro-
longed mental effort SO impaired his
health that he suffered from the
handicap all his life. Upon his
return to his home in Vir-
ginia, after graduation, he taught
his younger brothers and sisters.
He was the eldest of the family Of
seven cKildren-all Of whom at
tanned maturity and passed through
life esteemed and beloved,-thanks

SCOT as a Disiufeetant.

It has been found that SCOT acts as
a disinfectant and is more active
moist than dry. Water seems to dis
solve the disinfecting agents in the
SCOT, making them more active. Car
bon floating in the air. seldom, if ev-
er, carries bacteria unless it has lodg-
ed on the ground and is again blown
into the air.
Now SCOT acts as very effective
blanket. protecting the bacteria and
giving them chance to grow. Dis
eases of the nose and throat are not
appreciably more prevalent in smoky
cities. but they are more severe and
harder to cure. This is probably due
as much to the cracking of the mu-
cous membrane by the change from
the dry atmosphere in the houses to
the moist air outside and subsequent
irritation by dust and smoke.

5riti.h Apple Crop Light

The early spring Was unusually
promising. but % days Of rain in
April. together With frosts and drouth
in May and June. caused most Of the
fruit to drop. The caterpillar did
some damage in certain districts. Lack
Of labor also aggravated the situation.
AS a result the people Of England
have had little or no fruit Of any va
riety this summer. There are no late
or dessert apples; the limited supply
Of cooking apples will not last long.
The few Portuguese apples on the
market are poor, Scared. and ill
shaped and are bringing only fair
prices.
AS to the buying ability of the Eng
fish people there can be--no-- doubt.

Twenty five acres of the farm

twenty-five acres of the farm of
Charles Deegan, at Burke, S. D., suddenly
sank 30 feet the other night, leaving
pinnacles here and there 10 feet in
diameter. Biologists think that it dropped
into subterranean lake, since number
OF low lakes and ponds around have filled
up. Mr.. Deegan says that the night before
the big drop his cattle, with which the
sunken pasture was favorite spot, refused
to 90 there, believing and running back
every time they were driven to that part
of his farm.
