DAY ELECTRIC CURRENT
NOW SERVED IN MILFORD

" The Milford Electric Light Plant
has been changed from a direct cur
rent to an alternating system and for
the first time the people of Milford
can use the service for ironing, sweep
ing, heating or lighting at any hour
in the day or night. This may sound
strange to other towns in Delaware,
or even in the rural sections, where
homes were served from other COM
panies-but Milford has been sleep
ing for twenty years, and satisfied
with her wasteful method of serving
electricity to the public. After burn
ing up and wasting the plant, it was
at last found that something had to
be done-hence the awakening. There
will be great complaint of unfairness
from those who have been accustom-
ed to unrestricted use of the current
but that will pass and the service
grow to be one of the greatest COM
forts for all the people. 1t is impos-
sible to get something for nothing
honestly without some destruction of
property for some one-even if that
some one be the general public-for
which each tax payer has to pay in
the end. Welcome to the day cleo
trio service for Milford after many
years of delay.

ENLARGING WEBB'S
GARAGE IN MILFORD

The time to get ready for business,
is before trade gets to the hurry stage
and William Webb is practicing this
policy by enlarging his garage and
actually rebuilding his entire plant
on Railroad avenue in Milford. The
work will not interfere with business
in the least-because the foundations
for the new building encircle the
whole of the old structure and most
of the surrounding land of the large
lot. Piling has been driven around
the entire structure to ensure stabil-
ity and permanence for the new struc-
ture, which is to be of brick facade
with rear walls of concrete. The con-
crete foundations were poured this
week and as soon as hardened suff1-
GENTLY, the work of building the walls
will be started. 1t is purpOsed to have
the newstructure as near fire proof as
possible to build. Mr. Webb faced
the largest fire in Milford for many
years about three months ago, when
the old shirt factory and other build
ings were destroyed-this has given
him realizing sense of the value of
brick and stone for building mater
ials; which he is now using for this
of his business facilities.
The new building has front on Rail
road avenue of over sixty feet and
runs back about 100 feet.

CLASS
HOLDS A SOCIAL

The Fellowship Bible Glass held its
regular business and social meeting
with Mrs. VIM. Abbott, Tuesday even
ing, November 1. The guests were re
ceived at the door by very spooky
person who directed them upstairs
with a wave of a fashlight. At the
head of the stairs they were met by
another spook that directed them to
room to remove their wraps. They
were then escorted down stairs by the
lights to a beautifully decorated room
where soft music was being played
on Victrola.
The rooms were decorated in au-
tumn leaves, black cats, owls, bats,
ck-o'-lanterns and every thing in
keeping with Halloween.
The business meeting was conduct
ed by Vice President Mrs. John In
gram. After the business meeting the
hostess was chairman of the enter
tainment committe and many games
were played. 1t was very interesting
to hear the fortunes told and we are
sure some of the maids" and "wid-
ows" are still wearing "smiles of ex-
pectation." Too bad the prizes at the
head of the stairs had already been
captured. All partoOk of Witches
Brew, cookies and homemade candy
and adjourned to meet next time with

WANT TO GET ACQUAINTED
WITH BUSINESS FOLKS

The Wilmington Wholesale business
men have sent out invitations to the
active business men of Milford, Har-
rington, Frederick, Lincoln, Ellendale,
Houston and other nearby points, to
meet with them at luncheon they
have arranged to be served at the
Windsor Hotel in Milford, on Tues
day, November 9Th, at 1870 p. m.
About $50 will be arranged for and
it is the earnest desire of the Will
mington folks, that every one who is
invited, shall be present. The object
of the dinner, is to get acquainted,
one with the other, so that future
business relations will be that of per-
sonal acquaintances, and not simply
a business deal. These men are Civ
ing this dinner at considerable ex-
pense, for this purpose only. Be sure
to sign the postal cards sent with
your invitation and mail it back quick
ly. No effort to sell anything or pledge
any one to any agreement will be
made-it is simply "get acquainted
party" of the business men in general
and incidentally the lady who is in
business. This is the first effort of
several which will be made by the,
business people of Wilmington, to get
the business men of this peninsula to
deal with the wholesalers of Whining
ton, instead of going on to Philadel-
nhia

MILFORD CENTURY CLUB

The Milford New Century Club held
it's regular weekly meeting in the club
house on Monday, October 81. The
President, Mrs. S. C Evans, Jr., pre-
sided. After the usual business, Mrs.
Charles E. Varney, Mrs. John C. Tru-
lit, Mrs. Wallace McFaul, Mrs. Geo.
Macklin, and Mrs. Edward Adkins,
former members, were unanimously
elected to club membership. The oc-
casion being Halloween, the after
noon festivities were turned over to
the Entertainment Committee. The
first attraction was the rendition of
the Witches Scene" from Shakes
jeare's "Mackbeth." Characters as fol-
lows: Mackbeth, Mrs. DisstOn w. ia
cobs; Three Witches, Miss Burdella
Davis, Mrs. Hester Bunstein, Mrs. J.
Harry Humes; Three Apparitions,
Miss Jennie Davis, Misses Betty and
Jean Varney. =. The whole scene was
wonderfully well rendered by each
of the cast. The committee
provided two gypsies to tell fortunes,
one by palm, Mrs. I. D. Short and one
by cards, Mrs. Thomas H. Davis. While
fortunes were told punch and ginger
cakes were served. Many went home
with happy promises for the future
and with memories of a pleasant af-
ternoon.

CAULK CLUB PARTY
WAS A FINE SUCCESS


The annual Halloween party and
dance given by the Caulk Club, of Mil
ford, was big success this year. The
affair was held Monday evening in
Armory Hall, and the large building
was crowded with club members and
their friends, all of whom were mask
ed and dressed appropriate for the ev-
ening's festivities. Music for the oc-
casion was furnished by an orchestra
from Dover, and it was good. The
Caulk Club parties are always enjoy
able, and that of Monday evening was
up to the usual high standard. The
committees in charge had been busy
for days preparing for che occasion.
The Armory was beautifully decOrat-
ed with fodder, pumpkins and other
decorations suitable for such an af-
fair.
Prizes were awarded to the best
dressed person typical of The class
for which the award was made.
For the most beautiful fancy dress
costume, Miss Elizabeth Stidham, a
local milliner, was awarded The prize;
it being a bracelet.
For the most original costume, Miss
Clara HolSOn was given a silver Dread
tray for the winner, first prize; while
Howard Hager, Jr., was awarded the
second prize, cut glass bud vase.
The Davies twins, daughters of Mrs.
Minnie Davies, were awarded the
prize for the funniest costumes.
The spot dance prize, silver pen
Gil, was given to Mrs. Connor Mitten.
At the card tables, a first and sec
ond prize was given to the persons
having the highest scores at bridge.
Mrs. Minnie Davies with the high
score won first prize, a silver tea ball;
while the second prize went to Mrs.
John S. Hallett. 1t was silver thin
BILE.
Guests from out of town were pres
ent, and all report most enjoyable
evening. The costumes and original
"get-ups" were the equal of any to be
found in any locality. Refreshments
were served at a late hour.

tact.

upon one of the vital problems of the
present day: "The Great Armament
Question" he will have large map

HALLOWEEN IN MILFORD

While not up to the standard for
big displays, the Halloween celebra-
ton in Milford Monday evening was
very good. Those who were masked
and paraded on Walnut street, in the
business section of the town, made a
good showing; but the lack of an or
ganiZed effort on the part of the
townspeople to make the Halloween
gathering. a success was noticeable.
Where in former years large parade
was one of the features of the even
ing, this year this was lacking. In
past years the members of Sakimas
Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men,
have taken an active part in making
the evening a success. This year they
were not on the streets in the regal
las. Persons were in Milford from all
over lower Kent and upper Sussex
counties, and they were given plenty
of entertainment but not such as
they could have had from an organiz-
ed attempt.
The children were on the streets
early, and taken all in all the youngs-
ters made a better showing than did
the older persons. One feature of Gel
ebrations and Halloween observance
of a few years back was very notice
able by it's absence. This was the
habit on the part of the boys of tear
ing down gates, taking away door
steps and doing other property dam
age Milford has fortunately been rid
of this nuisance for the past several
years:

ALFRED |. DU POINT
TO HAVE YACHT BUILT
The ORDER Was PLACED WITH The
AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY co.
OF WILMINGTON.
COMPLETED IN NINETY DAYS
BOAT TO Be CONSTRUCTED AT ONCE
AT The JACKSON & SHARP PLANT
In THAT CITY.

Alfred 1. du POnt has placed an or
der with the American Car and FOun-
dry Company in Wilmington, for the
construction, at the Jackson & Sharp
plant, of a sea-gOing Diesel motored
yacht. 1t is to be built at once and it
is expected that it will be completed
within 80 days. One of the objects in
placing the order now, Mr.. du Pont
said, when asked about the matter,
was to help in the present unemplOy-
ment situation.
The plans were prepared by Edward
R. Carroll, naval engineer, of Fair
view, Camden, N. j., under Mr.. du
Points direction, and they call for
the largest size yacht that can sue
cessfully navigate all our canals and
waterways, while bilge keels and high
bulwarks give promise of dry and
comfortable boat at sea. All the state
rooms for owner and guests are on
the upper deck, something of which
no other yacht yet designed, it is said,
can boast. The construction is to be
of the finest A stel Keel, white oak
frames, with steel strapping, insure
long life and the sturdiness to endure
the mishaps which may be expected
exploring the lesser known waters,
while the white pine decks and teak
deck house will make her one of the
handsomest of the long list of notable
yachts that have been built in Will
mington.
In appearance the new boat will be
of the naval type, so popular with
-yachtsmen. Her engines were per-
sonally selected and tested by Mr.. du
Pont, and are of the full Diesel type,
embodying all the modern develop
ments of their use in submarines and
other naval craft during the war. She
will have twin screws. Aside from the
engines, there will be many note
worthy and ingenious features testi-
flying to the engineering skill of her
owner.
An electric capstan, electric boat
hoist and electric refrIgerating appa-
ratus are features that help make her
the most completely equipped yacht
of her size yet built.
When Mr.. du Pont was asked
whether he contemplated disposing of
his yacht, Alicia, he said he did not.
