WEATHER PREVENTS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT FEDERATION
Whole Program Educational !;
National President Delivers
Address

Mrs. A. T. Neale, Miss Elizabeth
Lindsay, Mrs. J. Pearce Cam, Mrs.
L. F. Manns, Mrs. w. A. Wilkinson
and Miss Mary E. Rich attended the
meeting of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs at Smyrna last Thurs
day. Many others who contemplated
attendance were deferred by the un-
favorable weather.
The tenor of the entire meeting was
educational. Resolutions were passed
pledging the Federation to uphold
program for trained professional
service, equal opportunities and a
high school education for every child;
and one urging an appropriation of
S37 900 annually to be used for the
physical examination of public school
children, also for mental examinations
where needed.
Mrs. John G. Winter, President of
the General Federation was present.
In her address among other things
she spoke of the evil of certain kinds
of moving pictures. "We need recrea-
tion," she said, "but we must have the
right kind" Much of the social un-
rest she attributed to misused leisure.
For some time past at various State
and county Federation gatherings
there has been advocated a new plan
for the celebration of the Fourth of
July, therefore it was to be expected
that Mrs. Winter while in Delaware
should speak on the subject, for she
is aiding the plan in every possible
way. 1t is being asked that the
women's clubs in every city, town and
community start the movement and
see that such celebrations be held, at
which time the public shall welcome
all young men and women who have
come of voting age during the year
and all naturalized foreigners into
citizenship. Mrs. Winter has said that
this plan means much more than a
show or a procession, that it is a
symbol with all the tremendous sig
nifcance that symbols have in human
understanding of both the meaning
and continuity of America. "We all
need it and no greater symbol could
be given in our country than to create
this great tradition of Citizenship
Day."

FIRE COMPANY
HAS BUSY WEEK
Responds to Two Out-of.
Town Calls; Both Serious
Blazes

Aetna Fire Company was called out
about o'clock Saturday morning by
an alarm sent in from Christiana
where the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Faulkner was in flames.
The family was in bed when they
were aroused by the cracking Of
flames. They found escape by the
stairway cut off and the parents with
their three children were obliged to
take refuge on the roof whence they
jumped to the ground.
The fire destroyed the Faulkner
store and dwelling, together with
three large warehouses adjoining
them, the property Of Mrs. Mary E.
Webber, of Wilmington.
The loss to the Faulkners is esti-
mated at about $4,000. This includes
the value of furniture, clothing,
money and store contents. The ware
houses are valued at about $4,000
said to be covered by insurance.
The homeless family were temper.
arily housed and cared for by James
Jewell, Of Christiana, and by other
neighbors and friends.
The Water Witch Fire Company Of
Wilmington was called and together
with the local firemen did excellen
service. The fire in the properties
mentioned was beyond control befor'
either of the companies arrived on tn
scene.

FORMER NEWARK GIRL
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Miss Marian Butterworth
Drowned at Proctor, VT.

The many friends of Miss Marion
Butterworth, formerly secretary to
Dean Harry Hayward, were shocked
to learn early last week through dis
patches from Proctor, VT, of her
mysterious disappearance. In re-
sponse to inquiries instituted by
friends here, it was later learned that
her dead body had been found in an
abandoned quarry short distance
from her home.
According to reports from Proctor,
where she held the position of social
secretary to Miss Emily Proctor, a
wealthy woman of that place, Miss
Butterworth disappeared on Tuesday
evening of last week. A search was
Immediately instituted and searching
parties sent out in all directions. The
town authorities zealously sought in
formation as to her movements on
Tuesday evening and found that she
had returned a borrowed book to the
home of some friends and after a
pleasant chat set out unaccompanied
for walk. She was seen later on a
bridge overlooking waterfall mile
or so from the house of these friends.
Report of visit to store in the
town where she made purchases to be
called for later together with other
circumstances led to the belief that
she had met with foul play.
A thorough search was made OF
woods in the vicinity where she had
often walked alone. Streams were
dragged without results and finally
the abandoned water filled quarry
where her body was found.
Friends here who knew Miss But.
terworth we'll, who knew her strength
of character, her unfailing optimism
and cheerfulness are convinced that
her death was due to accident. Fol
several months recently, due to nerve
trouble, she was totally blind and hao
only short time ago resumed hel
position. The affliction came at that
time with little or no warning, anc
the natural supposition is that re-
currence of the trouble was the cause
of her death.
Miss Butterworth formerly lived ir
Revere, Massachusetts,, a suburb OF
Boston and was a graduate of Boston
University. She was unusually giftec
intellectually, possessed considerable
dramatic talent and was brilliant
conversationalist. During her stay OF
several years here she made many
friends and took an active part in the
social life of the community.
The funeral was held on Monday
from the home Of her family in
Revere, Massachusetts.

either by attendance or report. The
Griffith production is a simple story
of plain people told with an elemental
forcefulness that compels recognition
of its truth. 1t is a story that might
happen anywhere and at any time,
and which does occur so frequently
as to come within the knowledge of
most men and women old enough to
know the world and the good and bad
that is in it. Moreover, it is so sweet
and wholesome a portrayal of every
day man nature and of the happy con-
tent that comes of honest love as to
give the impression that Mr.. Griffith
is more than a producer. He is an
evangelist, whose pulpit is the screen.
For those who may not have seen
the production, it is just to state that
the Griffith sermon" is one of love
and laughter; of sleigh bells and barn
dances. hay mows and sewing bees.
Fashion is on parade in a ballroom of
splendidly decked women, while the
breaking of an ice-bound river, drifts
of gale driven snow and frenzy of
downrushing water is, so far as
Washington knows. the most realistic
copying of nature in gonemad mood
that has ever been produced on the
screen.

PAYING THE PIPER"

George Fitzmaurice. in his latest
Paramount production, Paying the
Piper, which is being shown this
week at Moore's Garden Theater. has
brought to the screen one of the best
photoplays of the year in which New
YORK, with its ever-changing fascina-
tion and gayety. is used as the locale.
The story deals with the idle rich.
the cigarette smoking. cabaret loving
class OF New York. The theme of the
picture is based on the thought that
in the mad scramble for wealth peo-
pie are blind to the finer things of
life. There are numerous thrills in
the development of this highly inter-
esting theme, enhanced by the ultra
modern and magnificent settings of
the picture.
The chief character in the story is
Barbara Wyndham. the spoiled
daughter of New York millionaire.
Barbara marries Larry Grahame in
order to be able to get a divorce, as
other members of her set have done.
Wall street crash leaves the two
penniless and they are forced to lead
simple life. How they are regener-
ated and learn the value of love,
friendship and other human qualities
cannot but appeal. The cast includes
Alma Tell, Rod La Rogue. George
Fawcett. Reginald Denny, Robert
Schable and Katherine Emmett.
Selected subsidiary features, in
Guiding laughable comedy, make up
the program.

'sBIG SENSATION" !"

With the presentation of Henry
Dixon's big Sensation" a mirth pro-
voking musical affair, the Capitol
Theater. Washington's newest house
OF burlesque, was formally opened
yesterday. The production features
Harry Levan and Jimmy Lake, the
best attired straight man" in bur-
lesque. They are an ideal burlesque
pair and their effots were well re-
ceived by the two capacity audiences
yesterday.
Lake and Levan. however, are not
the only features of the show, for
'Ukulele Hughes" a nobby juvenile,
and Ralph Rogers, the second come
dian with an Italian dialect, also lend
their effort toward making it a sue
cess. Elsie Donnelly has the prima
donna's role. and with a sweet soprano
voice she warbled her way into pop
ular favor.
Scenery, which is neat in appear
ance, and a chorus of vivacious as
sortment of blonds and brunettes
who blossomed forth in costumes that
would do justice to the best girl show
on Broadway added pleasure to the
performance. Altogether the Big
Sensation" is a show well worthy of
Washington's most discriminating
burlesque fans.
The Capitol Theater is said to be
one of the best equipped burlesque
houses on the circuit.

ering the size of the audiences at the
