"DECLASSEE"

No announcement in the course of the |
theatrical season is more welcomed than
that of the coming of Ethel Barry
more. No player holds quite the same
firm place in the esteem of American |
playgoers. Additional Importance and
interest, however, attaches to the news |
of Miss Barrymore's coming to the |
Playhouse, the first half of the coming
week, since she will be seen here in
"Declassee," the play by Zoe Atkins in
which her success, little less than tu-
multuous, has become a fact Of import
ant theatrical history. For one entire
season, from October of one yeAr to
June of the next, New York theatre
goers crowded the Empire Theatre to
witness Miss Barrymore's magnificent
performance in Miss Atkins play, and
each presentation during those hum
dreds Of nights was the occasion for a
series of ovations unique in the history
of the American stage. Scenes follow
ing the memorable first performance,
when conservative New York playgoers
remained in the theatre to cheer the
actress and only left when the lights
had been dimmed, became nightly oc-
currences.
In "Declassee," Miss Atkins has fitted
Miss Barrymore with one of the most
splendid roles Of her career and one of
the kind in which her loyal following
loves best to see her. She is Lady
Helen Haden, young Englishwoman
of aristocratic birth and environment
to whom. through no fault of her own
save an amusing recklessness, unhappy
circumstances bring matrimonial dis
aster. Adrift from her accustomed
surroundings Lady Helen is seen next
in New York, embarked upon social
career at once precarious and amusing.
The center of gay group Of unusual,
inconsequential worldlings. and with
happiness seemingly almost within her
grasp, her adventures come to a close
in a final note of gripping, pathetic
tragedy.
The Charles Frohman Company has
surrounded Miss Barrymore with a
most distinguished and capable COM
pany. including Edward Emery, often
identified with earlier productions in
which Miss Barrymore appeared, Henry
Daniel, Philip Lord. Cyril Delevanti,

PROCLAMATION!
STATE OF DELAWARE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

The President has summoned the ma
ton ito day Of devotion, of thanks
giving for blessings bestowed. and of
prayer for guidance in modes of life
that may deserve continuance OF di-
vine favor.
It is proper that the Governor should
follow the good example of the Presi-
dent and the custom long prevailing,
and call to the attention of the people
of Delaware the special blessings they
enjoyed and the special reasons for set
ting aside one day of their busy life for
the distinct purpose Of giving thanks
to Divine Providence.
Ours has been for many years one OF
the most favored states in the Union.
No people in the Nation is blessed with
q more fertile soil and, usually, with
more bountiful crops. Our aspirations
for the best roads and the best public
schools are being realized. No people
is freer from the destructive elements
that bring distress. None is blessed
with more effective religious and educa.
tional organizations; no ministers of
the Gospel and no teachers anywhere
are striving more zealously than those
among US who are trying to persuade
us to lead q proper life.
Our prosperity in the years lmmedl-
ately preceding has been such as to
cause some less thoughtful persons to
depend more upon their own strength
and their own ability, and less upon Di-
vine Providence; many have substituted
extravagant habits for lessons in econ
omy, and this is undesirable.
The difference in conditions this year,
as compared with the prosperous years
Immediately preceding, has taught us
the unwisdom of all this and has en-
phasized the Importance of the simple
life, the religious life, the unselfish life.
the Importance of educating the youth.
and the Importance of building for the
future. !,
It is more desirable that we should
give thanks for these things than to
give thanks for what we commonly call
prosperity, for these things make for
the permanent good of the State and
its people.
Again, let US be thankful that our
Young men are once more around their
own fresldes. Let US invoke special
blessing for the families of those who
lost their lives in bearing the States
burden when she Was called upon by
the Nation; let US join the people OF the
whole world in a prayer that no future
generation shall be called upon to per-
form a like service and make like
sacrifice.
Now. Tk erefore, l, William D Den
ney, Governor of the State of Della
ware, do hereby designate
THURSDAY
NOVEMBER, TWENTY-FOURTH
THANKSGIVING DAY
and do call upon the people OF Delaware
to lay aside their daily work and to
gather in their homes and around their
affairs and give thanks for the great
favors that have been bestowed upon
them and pray for continuance OF d.
vine blessings.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I,
William D. Denny,
Governor of the State
of Delaware, have
hereunto set my hand
and caused the Great
Seal to be affixed at
[sEAL1 Dover, this tenth day
of November, in the
year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred
and twenty one and in
the year Of the Inde
pendence of the United
States the one hundred

FOOTBALL SEASON CLOSES

University of Delaware football sea-
son will end to-day when the Blue and
Gold will play their old rivals the
Pennsylvania Military College eleven
of Chester, Pa. on Harlan Field, Will
mington. This game was transferred
to Wilmington because Of demand on
the part Of large number of alumnus
and friends of the university that one
of the home games be played in Will
mington. With two bands on hand and
the prospects of one if not the largest
crowd that has ever watched Della
ware team play the day promises to be
a great occasion for the Blue and Gold.
The football season has been an in
and out one from the Delaware stand
point. The team started out by losing
the first three games played to Penn,
Muhlenburg and Johns Hopkins. About
this time Coach Derby made some
changes on the team that has Won
derful effect and produced winning
combination. The next four games
with New York "Aggies," Haverford,
Washington and Western Maryland
were all victories while the eighth
game with Lafayette last Saturday was
another defeat. The team has now
won four and lost four and is anxious
to capture the P. M. C. contest to
break ahead of the season in the num-
ber of wins. The addition of Jackson
freshman from Dover to the backfield
has greatly strenthened Delaware on
offense.
Coach Shipley is already working with
the basketball candidates although the
intercollegiate season will not open at
Newark until after the first of the year.
A squad of about so candidates are out
for the team many of them being
Freshmen.
While the basketball schedule is not
entirely completed it will be one of the
hardest that Delaware team has ever
undertaken. Games have been arrang-
ed with both the Army and Navy teams
and also with Penn and Princeton, all
four to be played away. Some of the
home games will be with Swarthmore,
New York "Aggies," st. Johns of
Annapolis, Muhlenburg and Washington
College. The Delaware season will
open at home on January IL with Al
bright as opponents. The first game
will be with West Point at West Point

SUGGESTIONS TO CUT
COUNTY EXPENSES
High Tax Complaint is Prevalent
Throughout the State

Much complaint OF high taxes il
prevalent throughout the state; 81
much 40 that suggestions are being
made generally by newspapers ano
from other sources
With view to economy. the
Poplaryille Freefress gives the fol.
lowing prescriptibn. which is pub
lished for what it Is worth and may
have some good suggestions that
might be used in each county. At
least. the budget plan is of merit:
First. Cut out all expenditures
on roads and bridges except in ne
cessity cases of known positive,
absolute necessity. If necessary
return to the former overseer sys-
tenn and have every man work ten
days. The result would certainly
not be any worse than now, and it
saves tremendous lot of money.
Second, Cut out the dip vats
and dipping. or else enforce the law
without fear or favor. The county
has spent thousands upon thou
sands of dollars for vats and the
upkeep of vats and for inspectors
and for the supposed injuring and
killing of all kinds OF stock. and
yet there are plenty of ticks in the
county because some people openly
refuse to obey the law and others
eyaded it, and they have not been
punished.
Third Release all county pris-
oners who are held for minor of
lenses, and save lot of money on
board and keep.
Fourth. Create sinking fund.
Instead of spending all the money,
and more each month. put some OF
it into the sinking fund.
Fifth. -AbuAs al things. let the
board of aors adopt the
budget syste tick TO it. That
is at be ng OF the fiscal
year carefully re the approx
mate income for the year. and then
it to each department as
it should be absolutely needed, but
reserve a large amount for a sink
ing fund
Some or all Of the above sugges-
tions may be feasible. Others may
have better ones. The idea is to
arrive at some method that will
curtail the country expenses.

Rub-My- Tism for Rheumatism
Advertising is not Necessary !?

A merchant in a nearby town told
a representative of the Advocate the
other day that there was no business
anyway, so why should he advertise?
That reminds Us of the hen who quit
scratching because there was scar
fcity of worms. 1t seemed to be a
bad year for worms; the hen didn't
see any of the wriggling varmints
trying to make themselves an hon
est meal for a hungry chicken. and
the hen soon began to have the ap-
pearance of Rundown fowl. The
owner noticed the rundown appear
ance. eau sht the hen, killed her and
threw the carcass away. And the
moral is this: Don't let your bus
iness get that run down appearance
or some of your best customers
might get it into their heads that
you are ready for the financial grave
yard. and pass you up Ikea pay
car passes a tramp.
Let's keep advertising. Boone

LETTER FROM IMPERIAL
WIZARD kU NUx kLAh
Only 100 Per Cent Americans Eli
gfble to Membership

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 26.-In re
sponse to inquiries from man,
sources as to requirements Tor mem
bership in the Knights of the K,
Klux Klan, Col William j. Sim
mons, imperial wizard of the or
ganization, has issued a statemen
in which he makes it plain thai
only men of the highest type are
eligible under any circumstances
for membership in the order.
1t has been stated repeatedly, .
said Colonel Simmons, and / pre-,
sumo, is generally understood that
only native-born white American
citizens are eligible for membership
in the Ku Klux Klan, and that
these must be 100 per cent Ameri.
cans, owing no allegiance of any
degree or nature to any foreign in.
stitution or government. religious or
political.
However, | wish to supplement
this by saying that even though a
man may be able to meet this re-
quirement. yet that is not all. His
moral character and his standing in
his community must measure up
also to the high standard we have
set for our organization. We want
only the most representative men
in every community. the biggest
men they haye-rot necessarily the
biggest social leader or the biggest
merchant or the biggest banker !
but the men who are recognized as
the biggest and most responsible
citizens as to character, truthful
ness, integrity and respect for law
and order. These are the men we
are after for membership in the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. and
if we can't get these men will move
on to some other town where We
can get them.
In plain English we wish sim
ply to organize the best class of
people in compact organization
with a purpose, and that purpose
to create a sentiment that will not
tolerate lawlessuess and that will
lend whatever assistance may be
needed to the regularly constituted
law enforcement officers whenever
the occasion arises.
To be eligible for membership
in this organization a man must
take an active interest in civic af-
fairs. No man can be the best type
of citizen when he shirks his duties
and his responsibilities to his city,
his county. his state and his ma
ton. Every applicant for mem
in this order should be reg
istered and have his poll tax paid
and be eligible to vote in every
election. and also ELIGIBLE for jury
service whenever called upon. Only
when every good citizen recognizes
this obligation and acts upon it CAM
decent men be elected to office andI
grafters and their henchmen foreyes |
insofar as control Of |
state and national politics is con- |
cerned. |
In conclusion, | wish to strtss
this fact-that the wearing of the
official regalia of the the Ku Kux
Klan is not permitted except on
two occasions. viz: In the Kla9ern
and by special permission for par

MIDDLESEx ASSEMBLY VOTE
MAJORITY 1882 FOR COP.

TRENTON, Nov. 1S-The Repub-
lican party's assembly candidates
throughout the state had a clear
majority of 53,65S over the combined
vote in the twenty-one counties of
the Democratic candidates, accord
ing to unofficial figures obtained
here today in the secretary of states
Office. The figures are not given out
as the final official returns from the
recent election because in seven in
lance they were received over the
phone from the county clerks OF the
counties. In all other cases they are
from the county boards of canvass
ers, but experience in past years has
shown that occasionally a correction
is made at the last minute before
the official PRONUNCIATION.
However. 1t Is the estimate Of poll
iticians and observers here that the
total Republican vote for the House
exceeded the Democratic by $4,000.
The result will interest all those who
have been trying to figure out which
party will win next year. the figuring
being based on the results Of last
weeks election.
While the figures obtained today
| are as yet unofficial, still it is not
expected that any changes seriously
affecting the estimated plurality
given above will be made in the Off
cial tabulation. They show that the
G.. o. p. carried every county but
three. namely Hudson. Hunterdon
and SUSSEX.

ACTION ON SNOW REMOVAL
URGED BY J. FRED ORPEN

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 49,
Severe criticism against the laxity of
the board in failing to provide ade-
quate means for the removal OF

ject with foresight instead of await
ing the time when the county high
ways are rendered impossible by
snow drifts before taking any action
was voiced by Freebooter j.. Fred
Orpen at the weekly session of the
county governing body yesterday.
Mr.. Orpen. though a member of
the board for less than a year. has
repeatedly sounded the warning that
preparations for snow removal
should be complete before the time
of the actual use of snow removal
apparatus. though by his latest ut
terances there has been no effort of
cooperation in this regard by the
board as a whole.
The New Brunswick freeholder
emphatfcally declared that some
action on the part of the board
would be insisted on by him, and

ing emergencies from snow block

In contrasting the elaborate plans
made by the State Highway COM

Intersectiona1 games have proved
beyond a doubt that the brand OF

to slip the honors to the east.
A team from the Pacific oas
first demonstrated the v~ulnerability
of the east. In 1919 Harvard had
the time of her life to beat Universe

coast eleven gave the middle west
a real jar in 1920. when University
California defeated Ohio State rs

This year Chicago came out OF
