Citizens from Mt. Pleasant, Column

ant last night in one of the largest

came to hear Chairman w. w. House,

aid roads and also to take steps to go
forward with the contracts to build
the Mt. Pleasant and Pulaski pixies in
accordance with the bond issue here
tofore authorized by the county court.
The crowd was large enthusiastic

The provision Of s. sos with re-

Legislature Should Change
Name of Delaware College

President Hullihen, Of Delaware
College, who is an experienced
advances many argu-
ments why the name Of the instl-
tuition at Newark should be
changed to the University of Della
ware. He points out that the
change of name would involve no
additional expense, but would
typify what the institution is and
what it is to be.
The opinion of DR.. Henry
Pritchett, quoted by DR.. Hullihen,
is that the term state university
denotes the states public system
of higher education. That reason
alone would be sufficient for the
change.
The college at Newark is IL

Justice to Army Officers

In order to remedy the injustice
done the officers of the national
army who served in the World
War and were not attached to the
Regular Army, the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
of the House has favorably report
ed a bill which contains this pro-
vision:
"That any officers who has
served in the military forces Of the
United States during. the war with
Germany and who does not belong
to the Regular Army and who in
Cured disabilities while in the
service during the said war, and
who is honorably discharged, shall
be entitled, during the continuance
of disability, to the same com
pensation that like officers Of the
Regular Army receive on being re-
tired for like disability"
In case of disability the Regular
Army officer is retired on three
| fourths pay, as is the provisional
officer. The national guard officer,
the reserve officer, the national
Army officer, the temporary or
emergency officer, disabled in line
of duty, is absolutely barred from
the benefits or aid Of retirement
or equal provision in lieu of re,
tirement. All were on the same
footing as to work and risks, for
they suffered the same hardships.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Shoes, more than many other
articles of clothing, need to be
thoroughly aired after wearing, to
prevent perspiration from rotting
the lining. Keeping shoes on shoe
trees or stuffed with paper when
not in use preserves their original
shape and is especially necessary
if the shoes have become wet. In
tense heat is likely to crack
leather; therefore wet shoes should
never be dried under the stove or
on a register or radiator. They
should be dried slowly, and if pos
sible rubbed from time to time to
soften the leather. The best plan
is to keep the shoes from getting
wet by wearing rubbers.
The tops of old silk stockings
make splendid dust cloths, as they
neither scratch or shed any lint
Other stockings can be used and
will Of course do for many articles
to be busted but silk is softer fol
most kinds of furniture. If they
are sewed over a 81 duare of leather
cut from the tops of an old pail
of shoes they will make gooo
ironing holders, pliable to the
hand, because the leather is slow
to heat through.

of hand or washing soap save then
