Near East from starvation that awaits
them this winter" said DR.. Divine,
: a scene of seven thousand little girls
and five thousand little boys from
our two big o~rphanages at Alexan-
dropol on their knees, thanking God
for Americas are and protection.
"They were as bright and beauti-
full as any little children n could
find anywhere. Hundreds of them
owe their lives to the funds and the
food and clothes sent from right out
here in the northwest. They depend
for their survival this winter upon
the success of our appeal to the pro-
and town people of the north
to unite in giving and buying
wheat, milk and other food for their
needs. There are a hundred thousand
just like these in our other or
phanages in the Near East, who must
be provided for. Then, too, there
are three outside starving for every
child we have sheltered.

Twelve thousand beautiful orphan
children down on their knees in ferv-
ent thanksgiving for Americas aid
that has rescued them from the tor
lures of starvation, afforded an in
spring spectacle that broke the haunt
ing monotony Of tragic scenes wit
messed by northwestern investigators,
who recently returned from a two
months tour of Armenia and South
ern Russia, where unknown thou
sands are in the grip of hunger.
This was at Alexandropol, Armenia,
where Samuel E. Newman of Middle

West Washinton director of the Near
East Relief, with headquarters at
Seattle, is with Mrs. Newman engaged
in perilous relief work, beset by fam

THE CHlLD'S BUREAU

The Children's Bureau of Delaware
wants to thank all the people and
societies who have given so generously
to help continue its work for another
wear. There is another kind of help
that we have received that is perhaps
even more needed than money Sew
eral people have offered to take in their
homes, children whose fathers have
lost their work because of the hard
times. One woman, who has only
small income, but nice home, boarded
little boy who, because of his nervous
condition, needed special diet and
sympathetic care. His father lost his
position and could no longer pay for him
SO she offered to keep this child free
until he secures another position.
We have another family of little
children, sister and two brothers un-
der II years of age, whose mother is
dead and whose father has been board
ing them for two years in homes found
by the Chidren's S Bureau. The father,
who is a steady worker and who has
spent all his money on his little family,
was laid off for the summer with al
most no notice.
The Chidren's Bureau is sure there
is some generous family who will Share
their home with one or more of these
little ones for the summer, and will find
a friend in the neighborhood for the
others so they will not have to be
separated. Any one interested Can

graceful solo dance; and Miss Lorena
Mortlock and Mrs. Alice Huxtable in
the "Serenade of the Violets.'
The comedy sketch, Reforming Ber-

the "dead one' that Mrs. Weaver as
Mrs. Brown his wife, and Mrs.
Clarence Mortlock as ''Bessie," the
maid, pretended to think him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Fuller

confirmation of the appointment OF
Senator Wolcott as chancellor Wlth-a
coalition of Republican Senators and
Democratic Senators allied with the
Salisbury camp leading the fight on the
appointment.
Should the friends of the governor
muster sufficient strength to put the
confirmation of Senator Wolcott through
the Senate with that of the other three

new AUTO LICENSE
Forms Of Application For Certifi-
cate of Title
MAGISTRATES HAVE FORMS

Magistrates are preparing new forms
of application for certificate of title
to motor vehicle which new forms
are required of all automobile owners
in conformity with the law passed by
the General Assembly last winter and
which goes into effect June l.
The new forms provide for the name,
business and home address of the owner
of the machine, complete description
of the vehicle and complete details of
ownership.
The expectation is that the new
forms will do away with any possibility
of stolen machine being registered,
or of any person purchasing stolen
machine without knowing it has been
stolen. The source of ownership pro-
vides for the date of purchase, the
name Of the dealer or person from
whom the machine was obtained, the
method of payment, the amount of un-
paid balance, and the security given
for the unpaid balance. The penalty
for false statement is fine varying
from $500 to $4,000 or Imprisonment
from 60 days to five years or both.
All of the information must be sworn
to before notary public and the infor-
nation is filed in the office of the Sec
retary Of State at Dover. There also
is space on the application for the GER
tifcate of the vendor and of the dealer
with their names and addresses. The
effect will be, it is said, that every
sale of an automobile or other motor
vehicle shall be known to public officers
and the information will be on file
where it can be obtained.
To still further protect the owners
of automobiles against loss by theft or
of being imposed upon in sale, a cer-
tifcate of title of every machine must
be obtained from the Secretary of State
before Incense tags can be obtained
for motor vehicles.
After September l, it shall be unlaw-
full to have in ones possession motor
vehicle for which a certificate of title
has not been issued.

BASE BALL TEAM ORGANIZED

At a meeting held last week, the
base ball team of the Middletown Ath-
letic Association was reorganized and
the base ball fans are now assured OF a
good team representing the town for
the season.
The team was disbanded two weeks
ago because of the lack of financial
support, the solicitors who were ap-
pointed to raise money for the team,
with the exception OF one, having made
no effort to raise the necessary cash to
run the team. At the meeting James
S. Moore and j. Lemont Jones volun-
teered to make a canvass of the town
and surrounding community in an effort
to raise the cash needed. The response
of the citizens has been most gratifying
and the financial backing of the team is
assured for the season.
The opening game will take place to-
day, May %, with the Delaware Bronze
A. c., of Wilmington, with another
game on Monday, May 3Oth, (Decora-
ton Day. with the Five Points A. A.,
of Richardson Park. These teams are
rated among the best in the country,
and should prove to be good attractions.
The games will be called at 2. 80 o clock.
The probable lineup of the team for
the opener will be, l. Gibbs or Heller,
Id; B. Gibbs, 2b; Jones, S.; Jolls or
Hotis, 3b; Ellison, rf; Alfree or Carey,
If; Davis, cf; Antworker and Mallonee,
pitchers. The pitchers were the star
twirlers of the Delaware Division team
of the P. B. & W. K. r. last season.
The prices of admission for the two
first games will be general admission,
25 cents, children under twelve, 10 cents
with war tax added. These prices will
be tried in an effort to give the fans
cheaper baseball than formerly, and it
is hoped that the team will be well
enough supported, so that the prices
will not have to be raised.
