STATE COLLEGE FOR COLORED
STUDENTS GIVEN BIG AID
PIERRE S. DUPONT TO SPEND
$4,000 IN IMPROVEMENTS
Buildings Near Dover to be Complete
ly RenOvated-New Up-tO-date
Furniture to be Installed

Joseph H. Odell, president of the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
ton, gave out the following announce
ments last week:
at was the expressed wish of Mr..
Pierre S. du Pont in making one of
his supplementary deeds of trust to
the Delaware School Auxiliary Asso-
citation that something should be done
to put the State College for colored
students, which is near Dover, in
safe and sanitary condition. A very
complete study was made of the situa-
ton by the Delaware Safety Councils
engineers, and certain recOmmenda-
tions were made to the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association. The
most urgent work was to put the
buildings in sanitary condition. The
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
ton has already installed a sewerage
system that will connect with all the
buildings and which runs out to dis
posal plant. This will take care of all
sanitation for many years to come and
anticipates the future growth of the
College. Also the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association has built an ad-
d';on to the girls dormitory, put in
bathrooms, toilets, and Nwashbowls,
which were entirely absent hereto
fore. Also bathrooms, toilets, and
washbowls are being installed in the
main building and in the boys dormi-
tory. The trustees of the college,
which is a state institution, would
have done all this themselves had the
money been available. A new water
supply with we'll and tank and con-
nected with all buildings is being iu-
stalled by the Delaware School Aux
iliary Association, and the rooms of
the various buildings are being re-
plastered.
"With this preliminary work out of
the way, Mr.. P. S. du Pont has agreed
to refurnish the buildings through the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
tion and he is presenting as his per
sonal gift to the Dover college about
100 beds, 280 sheets, 200 pillows, with
pillow cases, mattresses, bed pads
blankets, tables, dressers, chairs; /;
, new eight-foot cooking range for thu

STRAND.

Four big scis of vaudeville at tho Strand for today and tomorrow. These acts are very fine. Don't miss them
 Black cats may have brought bad luck, but not to Bob Beilamy. He won Omar from Home Brew Hanson, first mate oi the steamship Alexander. at cTibbage, risking only S20 as his part of the best. He thought the cat was worth about, that Actually the value of the animal aill its strange collar was more than s50. .oo0, and in the end Bob would not have given up what the cat brought him for thirty millions.
 The story is told in Diamonds Adrift, by Frederick J. Jackson, an Earle Will liams production, directed by Chester Bennett. It will be shown at the Strand theat>e today.
 Finding that his son, besides spending the S2o0 a month allowance since leaving college, has run up bills amounting 10 s5,oo0, James Bellamy decides to give him job as supercargo at $50 a month and make him repay the amount of the bills. Bob accepts the task somewhat ruefully but gamely and goes aboard the steamer Alexander. figuring fl would take him about eleven years to pay back that s5,oo0 which he had sQuandered-
 Bob was destined, however, to get the s5,000 far more quickly and dramatically than by earning it as supercargo. One voyage to Mexico won him more than twice the amount and a beautiful bride as we'll. but only after he had been through wild adventures and narrowly escaped death

HOME MADE WINE
IS SUBJECT TO SEIZURE

AS 0OBdGC1 1O SGlLO
 Great quantities Of home made wine in Connecticut are liable to seizure by federal agents. according to ruling re- ceived by United States Internal Revenue Collector Robert O. Eaton from Pro- hibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes
 In reply to a query of collector Eaten concerning the regulations which per- init heads of families in private homes to make a maximum of 200 gallons of tax free wine in one season provided they file a declaration of intention at the internal revenue office at least five days before beginning such manufacture. Commissioner Haynes has called atten- .ion to the fact that failure to register such declaration causes a government tax at double the regular rate to attach to the entire quantity produced and calls for forfeiture of the wine to the United States. At the same time, it subjects the maker to a s5,o00 f1e and a five year term in the federal penitentiary.
 Since attention was directed by Col lector Eaton on August 30 to the re- quirements concerning home made wine. many inquiries have been received at the revenue office in Hartford relative to the amound of tax due from the head of family who has made less than 200 gallons of wine without registering. Ad- vice has been requested as to whether

the tax would attach to the entire quan- tity made, or only on the amount If any. in excess of 200 fallons. The questions were forwarded to Commissioner Haynes who replied:
 ''The 200 gallon exemption Is applic- able only in cases where the producer registers his declaration of intention with the collector of internal revenue. Fail ure to register such declaration causes the tax to attach to the entire quantity produced and the producer is liable under Section 620 of the revenue act of 191S."
 The rulings are mandatory on the in- ternal revenue collector; yet thousands of family heads, in Connecticut had made wine for their own household use before they were aware of the requirement that they notify the government before mak- ing the wine. Under the ruling of Com missioner Haynes. all this is liable to seizure, but government agents cannot enter mans cellar in search of such wine except when armed with a warrant based on a complaint.
 There is nothing in the regulations to prohibit family head, who has served , the required notice on the revenue col lector, from using tax paii grain or other ethyl alcohol in the fortiicaticn of sweet wines.
