Crowds at The Fountain Opening

Mr.. B. G. Smith, proprietor of the
Middletown Hotel, had very success
full opening of his new fountain and ice
cream parlors last Saturday evening.
The Wurlitzer electric piano furnished
fine music for those who desired to
dance and the large crowds that visited
The Fountain, were highly pleased with
the many new innovations mine host
Smith had provided for both their appe-
tites and anusements.
The parlor had been tastily decorated
by Philadelphia decorators, and the
management was highly complimented
on these pleasing effects to the eye.
In fact, Mr.. Smith has been to an enor-
nous expense in equipping this magni-
ficent room, and was more than pleased
with the large patronage extended him
on the opening night.

GOOD VOCATIONAL WORK

| On tuesday afternoon, Apr. 10Th,
Mrs. I. S. Fouracre, was chairman of

been doing to bring out better products
showing results obtained by the kind of
food, health conditions and the class of
reading. The girl as we'll as the boy,
should prepare for harmonious homes,
which is the aim of Home Economics.
The vocational work in Delaware has
been most satisfactory, having twenty
four th-Hughes schools, training
48O girls, and over 600 ready to enroll
next year. 1t is earnestly hoped that
the appropriation of SIG, 900 to carry on
the work begun will go through the

pense of the entertainers amounted to

DESCENDS
TO THE PRIMITIVE

OPPELN, May 25.-Savage fighting Is
developing IT. Upper Silesia The strug-
gle is no longer confined to armed bands
but Polish and German residents of the
same communities engage in death strug-
giles with whatever weapons they find
Barbarities were charged on both sides.
German leaders declared that after one
community fight they had found three
Germans, their bodies slashed with knife
wounds and their eyes gouged out
Polish leaders retorted that worse
mutilations had been found on their
dead.
Large German forces continued active
in southern Silesia. These bands failed
to continue the successes which marked
their first rushes.
One such force, marching along the
Oder, headed for Loslau, has been
in the hands of the Poles since early in
the invasion The Germans were caught
as they marched through a narrow valley,
Polish artillery raking the narrow de-
file. Heavy losses were inflicted and the
Germans were forced to withdraw.
Adelbert Korfany, leader of the Polish
insurgents. has issued a public procla-
nation threatening a fine of 100000
marks TO any resident of Silesia who
pays taxes to Germany.

yesterday in the sitting atmosphere OF
the chamber, BRAND showed that Britain
and France are not far apart in their
ideas of how to handle the Snesian sit
uatiOn
The premier aroused some anger by his
assertion that the new German govern
ment appeared sincere.
Press comment today, however, indi-
Gated that BRAND can depend upon
vote Of confidence by a large majority.
Leaders of important groups in the
chamber were said to have pledged their
support.
