With 85 new students enrolled in

voted to registration, and organization
of classes, but the entire week of the
two colleges was put on an arranged
schedule starting with Monday.
While the Freshman class Of Della
ware College is not as large this year
as the one of 1920, the Women's Col
lege class is larger. Including among
the new students at the Women's COL
lege are many who have enrolled for
the teachers training course which will
fit them for teaching in the puolic
schools of the state at the end of the
two years.
As the opening marked the beginning
of the first year of the group of colleges
as a university, President Walter Hulli-
hen arranged for a convocation which
was held in Company E. Armory on
Friday afternoon. This proved an in
teresting affair. 1t was attended not

student bodies Of the two colleges but
also by members Of the Rehabilitation
Division and friends of the institution
in Newark and vicinity.

projects looking towards the advance
ment of education in the state which
should be achieved this year. He ex-
pressed gratitude tor the action of the

priating sufficient money to allow the

colleges and these were announced by
the deans at the convocation on Friday.

interest to the farming interests of the

How Better Than Pills :?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills ? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by medi-
cine. Then, they not only move the
bowels but Improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

WOMEN, MEMS SUPERI0RS

WOmen's intuition is greater than
that Of men.
Women are less sensitive to pain
than men and actually feel less OF 1t
In q given operation.
Women are more modest and spir-
itual than men, and therefore, less
prone to acts of immortality.
Women are more symmetrically
formed than men, and, therefore. are
more graceful and beautiful.
Women go to sleep less quickly than
men, but sleep more soundly, and II
in normal health, sleep longer.
Women are more sharp-witted than
men. The reason Is that their thyroid
glands are, as a rule, more active.
Women are mems superiors when 1t
comes to feeling the cold. They can
remain in bathing longer and suffer
less from exposure.
Women stammerers are fewer than
men stammerers. There are only
about one-fourth as many women who
stammer as men thus troubled.
