New School
Building for
Newark Arrives
Will Be Erected at Once
Cecil County Teachers to Observe
Here Tomorrow

The emergency building ordered
a month or more ago by the Della
ware School Auxiliary Association
to serve as a demonstration room
for practice teaching and to house
the "Opportunity Class" has ar
rived and will be erected as soon
as weather conditions permit. The
work will be done by the Broissert
Co., of Brooklyn, who constructed
the building.
The completed sections all paint
ed and ready to be put together
have been on the lot back of the
Armory for several days and have
excited the interest of many.
What may be done to make a
schoolroom joyous place in which
to live, has been demonstrated in
an admirable manner by a group
Of girls in the teacher training
class at Women's College in coop
Grafton with the people of the town
and the young men In the High
School These young ladies, who
are members of Miss Rachel Tay-
lor's art class, worked a complete
transformation in the room Occu-
pied by Miss Sara Brown who is
teaching a section of the First
Primary grade in the portable
building purchased last year to re-
lieve crowded conditions in that
grade.
This room was chosen because
of the ideal conditions of lighing
facilities and wall space provided.
The dead whiteness of the walls
was changed to a soft shade of tan
which harmonized with the brown
of the woodwork, by the applica-
ton of coat of kalsomine ma
terial which was furnished by the
townspeople. The manual work
was done by the young ladies at
odd times which did not Interfere
with the work of the little tots. At
the top of the sidewalks Is "a border
which is an undending source of
JOY to the little folk who have
there Illustrations of their favorite
stories. These are done in sepia
in arrangement which makes a
perfectly harmonious whole.
Low bookshelves planned by the
young ladies were built by Victor
Armstrong, Earle Evans and Le-
roy Crompton, high school STU
dents. These were placed under
the windows and make an attrac-
tive addition to the equipment of
the room. The teachers desk was
stained. the blackboard border
made attractive and hanging bas-
kets of living vines hung from the
ceiling.
In the panels which constitute
. the sidewalks are hung attractive
pictures cut in most cases from
magazines and mounted for the
: purpose by the young ladies.
This room will serve admirably
to show what may be done in any
one room school at little expense
by an ingenious teacher and inter
ested patrons all working together
to make the school room an attrac-
tive place where children will love
to be and where they will have an
opportunity to be always in an
atmosphere of beauty and harmony
: Of color.

Gleason Man Kills
Woman in Paducah

w. w. JONES

Paducah, Ky, July 2.-Develop-
ments today proved that the woman
Robert Lee Arnold shot and killed
last night was not his wife, but was
Mrs. Minta Miller, who had hus-
band and three children living at
Water Valley, Ky. Acquaintance
stated that Arnold and the WOMAN
had been living together more than
year.
Arnold came to Paducah from
Memphis, and is said to have ad-
mitted today that he had a wife
residing in Terrell, Tenn, and that
they were not divorced. He is a ma
tive of Gleason, Tenn.
Walter Miller of Water Valley,
the woman's husband, was notified
of the tragedy today, but he de-
clined to have anything to do with
the affair or to receive her remains.
She has relatives in Paducah, and in
Graves county, Ky. No hope is en-
tertained by physicians for Arnold's
recovery.
He shot himself near the heart.
Physicians did not operate, claim
ing it would be futile. He is growing
weaker tonight. Death is expected
at any moment. Arnold, said to
have been crazed with liquor when
he fired the shots, told visitors he
did not remember anything about
the shoot ng. He stated he would
be glad when the last breath left
his body. A brother and sister of
the dying man arrived today from
KY.

Watch Your Kidneys

Inhaling the fumes of turpentine
and white lead often weakens the
kidneys. That's one reason why so
many painters have bad weak and
sick kidneys. Exposure, frequent
colds and chillsf and the strain of
climbing up and down ladders help
start the trouble.
If your back aches, if sharp pains
strike you in the back when stoop-
ing, lifting or working; if you have
headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains; if the urine is discolored or
passages painful and scanty, try
Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy so
widely used and SO we'll recommend

Give Tires Same In
telligent Care that
is Given Motor

In spite of manufacturing improve
ments in tire development and in
quantity production that have given
a standard production and reduced
cost hundred per cent to the con-
sumner, the motorist himself has not
been made to realize how much ad-
ditional saving he can add by giving
his tires the same intelligent care
that he gives to his motor or other
parts.
The motorist has failed to appre-
ciate the eighty per cent of the ma
terials that go into high grade
pneumatic tire are Of a vegetable
nature, and consequently perishable,
and that the rapidity of perishable-
ness depends to a considerable de-
gree on the extent Of unnecessary
exposure of the tire to the deterioat-
ing combination of moisture, light
and heat as we'll as aVoldaDle de-
structive abuses such as cuts, abra-
sions and ruptures.
Steel tires are practically i'm
mune from human abuse, but rub
Der tires are not and their careless
destruction becomes a world wide
economic loss with an annual tire
bill of considerably more than ST.
OOO, 100000, according to a bulle-
tin of the technical service depart
ment of the United States Tire Com
pany. By proper care ten per cent
additional tire mileage could be OBJ
tanned which, translated, means a
yearly upkeep saving of over $780,
100000.

Hope for Real
Beer at End; "Sick"
Man Has No Friend

Washington, July 3.-Somewhere
on the front page of nearly every
newspaper in the country Tuesday
morning, the sick man likely will
read that he'll pet no beer.
There isn't any doubt as to what
the house will do with the Willis
Campbell anti-beer bill tomorrow,
for after a check up today prohibi-
ton leaders declared they could only
find twenty Eight members ready to
step backward on prohibition. The
bill will be called up lnder shspen-
sion Of the rules, a procedure which
requires a two-thrids vote for it's
passage. The vote will be delayed
until late in the day as there will be
hours of debate, and probably an eff
fort to send the bill back to a COM
m'ttee in the hope of removing it's
teeth.
The senate must act on the bill,
but indications are that it will be
put through there in quick time in
an effort to have it signed by Presi-
dent Harding before he leaves town
for the holidays over the Fourth of
July. Prohibition leaders are de-
termined to speed up the anti-beer
law to head off any beer-for-the-
sick regulations that might be is
