PLAYHOUSE WILL
PROBABLY REOPEN
Newark Interested in Reports
Being Circulated

While the owners of The Playhouse,
at Wilmington, have a number OF
matters under consideration, looking
toward the reopening of the theatre,
which was closed on Saturday night,
nothing has yet matured. Long delay
however, is not looked for.
When Frank G. Tallman, president
of the Hotel dupont Co., which owns
The Playhouse, was asked today whe-
ther the company had any announce
ment to make as to future plans, ne
replied in the negative. "We have
nothing We can make public today,
he said, "but believe we will in two or
three days. Several matters are un-
der consideration, but nothing has yet
matured."
Newark in recent years has be-
come quite play loving center. With
the road improvement and excellent
transfer service given by A. L. Stiltz
the patronage will probably be great
er than ever.

Josiah Marvel and Roads

According to Press reports,
Josiah Marvel has resigned
from the Highway Commission.
This is distinct loss to the
State. Interested always in any
and everything that promises
State or civic development, Good
Roads is a particular hobby of
his. Back in 1917, he gave un-
grudgingly of thought and time
in assisting in the formulating
of the Bill creating the Depart
ment. Roads were to him, then,
suggestive of advance and de-
velopment. He saw the advent
ages and was a booster. But
when appointed on the commits
sion, while not less enthusiastic,
he recognized the responsibility
that became his in such position.
Then it was, he became a stu
dent of road construction, high
way efficiency and management.
He studied materials and costs
and was able to discuss them
when talking to engineers and
contractors. All this made him
an important factor in the State
road development.
Citizens will never know and
appreciate the time and energy
he has given to this work. His
name will be linked with our
Road Development, it is true
but never recognized probably

Peoples Column
Delaware Foot Ball
Team as Observed by
An Alumnus

A rebellious attitude, coupled with
an attempt to override the delegated
football authoritits, threatened to
disrupt the football team Of the Uni
versity Of Delaware, for short time
last week. Happily, the defeat Of
New York "Aggies" and a decided
stand by the authorities has not only
kept the team together, but also i'm
bued the spirit of fight into them.
Two or three players were unwilling
to submit to the disciplinary meas
ures instituted by Coach Derby and
withdrew from the team, it is alleged.
While it was common knowledge that
a mysterious influence was counter
citing the new coaching methods, its
source could not be traced, until
meeting of the gridiron squad was
called last Tuesday night.
The meeting was called presumably

but also the comment of all who hearf-

Newark Experiences More
Rough Stuff

The spirit Of lawlessness which has
manifested itself so much OF late IN
and around Newark in robberiess fires
and fights in weekly succession, sent
Cato Pennington, a negro, to the Del
aware Hospital in a critical condition
and Benjamin Washington, another
negro. to the New Castle County
Workhouse, last Saturday. After a
quarrel, Washington shot Pennington
through the abdomen, and seriously
wounded him, DETECTION of the bullet
alone saving him from death. The Of
fender was arrested at once and after
a hearing before Squire Lovett, was
committed to the Workhouse.
Although Washington had been
noticed acting queerly and was be
lieved to have been hitting the dope
recently, nothing serious was com.

Pennington, Saturday. The negro

PLAN FOR
FISHERMAN'S LUCK
Anglers Club May be Formed

Local anglers viii be pleased to
know that one of their number, S.
Pusev Morrison, is taking steps To-
ward the stocking of neighboring
streams with Black Bass during the
next few months. Several local sports
men are considering the possibility Of
forming an Anglers Club to foster
this sport and guard and protect the
streams when stocked from abuse
through poisoning, poliutlng, and
mishandling by unsportsmanlike fish
ermen. Mr.. Morrison has received
communications recommending the
use of 'singerlings" from nearby
hatchery, rather than "small fry" To
interpret these fishing terms, the
ingerling is larger stocking-fsh,
and would develop more quickly for
game purposes than the small fry.
Tentative plans for the organization
of the club are being considered by
the local followers of the rod and reel.

Auto Tags and Christmas Cheer

No more graceful cOnsldera-
ton can be given to public
official than by ordering your
auto tags for 1922 before the
last days of the year. The force
at the office of the Secretary OF
State is literally stampeded at
the close of the year by delayed
applications for auto licenses.
All this could be SO easily avoid
ed by just bit of consideration.
incidentally, no Office, public
or private, is so busy as the Sec
retary of State; no force more
loyal in working overtime to
maintain it's standard set years
ago.
For this force we ask that
local autoists make applications
early-thus lessening the strain
around the holiday season.
