Knit Underwear Sale. auiet.

The expected increased demand for
knitted underwear has failed to mate
rialize and business is just as dull as it
was several weeks ago. Many mer-
chants are selling their merchandise in
that line at cost to liquidate their stocks
before inventory time. In spite Of
snapper weather, heavy weights are not
moving WE'LL. Jobbers and retailers are
apparently well supplied and sales have
not decreased their stocks materially
Meanwhile production in mills is con-
tinuing in anticipation of belated de-
mand. Unless the retail stocks begin to
move very shortly, manufacturers will
find themselves in much the same posi-.
ton as is the retailer.

Expect Demand for SILK Gloves.

Manufacturers quotations on silk
gloves are sufficiently reasonable to
stimulate action by retailers. Gloves
being offered are found to be based on
raw silk purchased at least 20 PER cent
below present replacement values. Re-
tail stocks are much below normal. That
condition is ascribed to the fact that re-
tailers withheld their purchases in an
ticipation of prices sagging TO lower
levels The increasing firmness of the
raw silk market, however. is anticipated
to bring many retailers into the field
within a few days to restock their
shelves and start a drive for spring busi-
ness.

Conservative Spring Designs.

Simplicity with respect to design and
coloring is the gratifying feature OF
spring offerings being introduced in sin,
merchandise. Although striking designs
are offered. the greater part OF the col
lections are made up of unobtrusive
effects. which places them in the staple
class for all year. Colors also have been
modified greatly, the majority of the
silks offered being reproduced in two
color effects on dark background.
Some few printers. however. are offer
ing lighter grounds ornanented with
flowers in the all over effects. but they
are said to be the exception rather than
the rule.

NEGRO HIDES IN LOCOMOTIVE
Edward Waters Eludes Dover Officers
But is Later Captured

Edward Waters, the partner of
Kenneth Masten, both colored, sought
by the Dover police for his part in the
robbery of the ]. F. Hartnett store
in Dover, Wednesday afternoon, was
captured Monday by Chief of Police
Lane. Masten was caught Wednes-
day night and confessed to his part
of the robbery. About noon Friday
Chief Lane was tipped that Waters
was seen hanging around locomotive
which had been side-tracked at the
Dover station. Securing two or three
persons, Lane surrounded the locomo-
tive. Stepping up on the back of the
engine, close to the firebox, Lane no
ticed that the door of the empty fire
box was ajar. He opened it and there
lay Waters. The negro boy was pull
ed out and carried to Magistrate
Woods office, where he confessed 20
the Hartnett robbery, also disclosing
other petty robberies which he and
Masten had committed there. His
part of the money stolen from the
Hartnett store, S1.35, was recovered
under the carpet at his home. He al
so admitted taking the watch from
Hartnett's vest, which was hanging in
a back room of the store. Waters,
when asked where his money was, said
he had hidden it in a snuffbox in a
back seat in the balcony of Dover OPP
era House, where he and Masten had
gone Wednesday night. The officers
visited the Opera House and found
the box back of the seat with 1920 in
it. Waters admitted several other
thefts of money and articles from
stores and homes in Dover during the
past few months.

Relations between the Delaware

Education have been severed by DR..

appeal that a new relationship be

TO TALK. OVER COAL PROBLEM
Delaware State Coal Club to Meet at
RehObOth Next Friday

How to meet the coming winters
coal demands will. be the principal
problem for consideration at the
meeting of the Delaware State Coal
Club, at Rehoboth on Friday August
26. Addresses on the subject will be
delivered by prominent coal dealers
and operators from various sections
of the East. With the sales of coal
down to minimum, it is feared by
members of the coal trade that fran
tic buying during the first cool spell
will force quotations upward as well
as endanger the supply, thus bring
ing about a serious situation. It is
said by those in a position to know
that consumers are patiently waiting
in the hope of prices falling on the
commodity. To this end, the public is
doomed to disappointment, experience
ed coal dealers contend, declaring
that in the event of change, the rates
will increase rather than drop. Ed
ward r. Pusey, president of the state
coal club, said yesterday arrange
ments are being made for luncheon
to feature the meeting.

ALARM OF FIRE THIS MORNING
Smyrna Fire Engine Called to Dover
But Were Fortunately Not Needed

An alarm of fire early this morning
between 2.30 and 8 o'clock reused
many from sound sleep. The Smyr-
ma fire engine was called to Dover and
made the run down in thirteen min
utes but fortunately were not needed.
Dover firemen, with their own engine
were able to cope with the situation
and had the fire under control bv the
time the Smyrna fire engine arrived.
What caused the apprehension and the
alarm to be sent to Smyrna was the
low water pressure in Dover and the
lear that if the Temple Theatre E
Dover got afre and beyond control. a
serious confagration might result.
Smyrna was on the job and our fire.
men were ready and anxious to give a
helping hand. The fire started in the
building next door to the Temple
Theatre occupied by The Midway Sale
Company. The flames spread rapidly
and soon gutted the store. The Tenn
pie Theatre caught fire several time
and 1t was only by persistent efforts
that 1t was saved from falling a prey
to the flames. The damage will result
IN a several thousand dollar loss.

STATE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

tenoOn authorized the secretary to re-
quest the School Auxiliary to continue
the campaign for another year in OIL
der that proper basis for compari-
son of attendance will begin with the
opening of the school year, set by the
Board for the schools of the State as

resolution passed by the Board was a
request of the School Auxiliary to as
sist in the campaign by engaging four
visiting teachers and paying their sal
aries and expenses. The Board, rep
resented by the president, DR.. T. r.
Brown, and Eugene Shallcross, NJ. Z.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS ON INCREASE
CantalOupes, Berries, WatermelOns
Far Ahead of Other Fruits Includ-
ing Peaches and Grapes Fall OFF

Despite the heavy frosts of ea,1v
spring, which entailed a serious loss
to fruit and produce growers through
out the Peninsula, the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, according to statistics made
public yesterday, has experienced =
greater volume of business in its sun,-
mer shipments this year, than was re-
corded for the corresponding period of
last year. During May, June and
July, and up to August 20, inclusive.
shipments over the various branches
leading out of Delaware and MARYLAND
nave been exceptionally heavy. On
branches from Farnhurst, Franklin
City, Delmar, Chestertown, Central
Oxford and Cambridge the volume of
trade has shown a tendency to in
crease instead of decrease. Excep-
tiOnally heavy during this period was
the shipment of cantaloupes. A total
OF 405,792 carriers of this fruit was
recorded, compared with 1855 car
rlers for the corresponding period of
last year. The shipment of berries
was also heavy. During the present
season a total of 9,190,351 quarts of
berries passed over the various
branches of the Pennsylvania railroad,
compared with 5,332,765 quarts last
year. One hundred and thirty car
loads of watermelons passed over the
road during the present period com
pared with 13 carloads last year. Prob
ably the greatest loss resulting from
the early frOsts, was felt in the ship
ment of peaches and grapes. This
summer but 868 baskets of peaches
were shipped. Last year the number
of baskets of peaches shipped totalled
1924.

TOMATO CANNING SEASON HERE
HOlfecker Cannery In Smyrna One of
Few to Operate, Starts This Week

The tomato canning season has
again arrived and this year will note
a marked contrast to former years, in
the few canneries that will operate and
the consequently small acreage of to-
matoes planted. The John H. Hof-
fecker Canning Company is receiving
its contract tomatoes now and will
start their Smyrna plant in operation
tomorrow or as soon as enough to-
matoes are in to make start worth
while. With the exception of the Ar
mold factory at Brenford and the Rec
ords factory at Blackbird, the Hoffeck-
er Cannery will be the only factories
to operate in this vicinity this season.
The outlook for a tomato crop is poor
but as the Hoffecker and other local
canneries only anticipate putting up
small percentage of their usual pack,
owing to the big stock of caned goods
carried over from last season, the
packing industry will experience a
comparatively short season.
