Judges Stand Placed

After some discussion, in which the
possibility of having the music judges
and costume judges separated and
placed at different points, it was de-
cided to arrange for all the judges to
be grouped together on temporary
stand to be erected if permission is
so ganted, on the southwest corner
OF Main and Academy Streets. This
is no doubt the most centeral point
and with a stand few feet about
the ground and we'll out on the curb,
all costumes may be inspected with
accuracy and precision. The number
of judges has been definitely decided
upon but it is likely that at least 10
will be selected in the near future.
Two or three Newark men will be
among the officials, and one of them
will act as Master of Prizes. Misses
Alice Blackman and Helen Jarmon of
the Continental Fibre Co., have offered
their services as assistants to facili-
tate the work of judging, and they
will also be on the stand.
Eastburn Appointed Marshal
Clarence Eastburn was appointed
Chief Marshal last night and will
have full charge of the conduction of
the parade. Many horsemen will be
present to aid him in keeping every
| one in line and the parade moving.
Chairman Smith also appointed
Messrs. Strickland, Moore and She'll
ender to arrange the donations into
| prizes for the various classes and di-
visions. There will no doubt be sew
eral prizes offered for original ideas
not included in, any one of the given
classes.
All prizes will be gathered together
and taken to the Newark Inn on
lower Main Street, where they will be
given out to the lucky winners on
the big night. Those winners who
leave early will receive their awards
by calling in person after the night of
the parade.
The work of getting out posters
| advertising the parade will be finished
in a few days and will be spread
broadcast over the entire neighbor-
hood. From all viewpoints, the
forthcoming New Years Mummers
Parade will be the biggest event Of
its kind ever held in Newark. There
are plenty of prizes and the judging
will be fair.

Town Band To
Hold Carnival
In January
Minnehaha Organization Planning
to Hold Affair in Armory-
Four Nights Of Frolic
New Equipment Needed

One of the town bands which has
so many times helped to make things
jolly during the various civic and pro-
gressive functions given during the
past year, has decided to hold bene-
fit bazaar and carnival. That an
nouncement in itself should almost be
sufficient to bring out the citizens to
the party. There is warm regard in
every home for our bands and it is
now that chance to help one of them
is apparent. Here is the preliminary
announcement:
Minnehaha Band has arranged for
an Indoor Carnival and Bazaar, to be
held in the Armory, Newark, DEL,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights, January Oath, 25th,
26th and 9th, 1928. This benefit is
to assist the band in purchasing new
uniforms and probably one or two
new instruments, if they are success
full enough in their attempt. There
will be cakes, fancy articles and other
things for sale, and arrangements
have been made for dancing each
night, music to be furnished by good
orchestra for the dancing. Final ar
ranpements will be announced later
through the columns of this paper.

A new rag storage warehouse, un-
der the course of construction for the
American Vulcanized Fibre plant just
east of town, is we'll on its way to
completion. 1t is expected that the
new addition to the plant will be
ready by the first week in February.
The need of suitable storage facilities
for rags used in the manufacture of
various types of fibre has long been
felt by the company. The increasing
demand for space has thus caused the
erection of the big building.
The warehouse is well built and
correct in detail. The floor space is
estlmated at 5400 square feet. Fifty
cars may be placed inside at one time

Mysterious Blaze Completely
Destroys Barn On Foster Farm
Near Town---Heavv Los.
Disaster Early This Morning Believed To Be Work of
Burners--Owner Aroused by Barking Dog Hour
Earlier--Fre Company on Scene But Too
Late to Save Building
Ten Animals Die In Flame.---Crops Lost

A fire, believed to have been the
work of incendiaries, completely de-
stroyed the large barn on the farm
Of Clarence Foster, about two miles
southwest of Newark early today.
The total loss was not estimated by
Mr.. Foster later in the day, but it is
believed that upwards Of $4,000
would probably be the figure. In the
barn at the time was quartered all
the livestock, and it was impossible
to rescue them from the flaming
d structure in time to save their lives,
Four cows, two heifers, bull and
three horses were destroyed along
with reapers, hayloader, harrows, wag-
ons and all smaller farm implements.
Within the barn were stored the sea-
sons crops, all of which were burned
up. In fact, there is nothing left but
the smoking foundations; everything
was swept away. Mr.. Foster was too
overcome with the shock of the fire to
talk very much this morning, but he
minated that nothing could have
started the fire save incendiaries.

About one o'clock this morning Mr..
Foster was aroused from his sleep

Real Talent Shown
In University Play
The Magistrate" Presented Last
Nigh By Footlight. Club Plea.es
Townspeople-S Setting. and
Costumes Effective
Tilghman and Smith Star

The Magistrate" by Sir Arthur
wing Pinero, and acknowledged as
one OF the outstanding farces of mod
ern times, was presented to the people
OF Newark in the Opera House last
night by the Footlights Club of the
University, and made decided hit.
The acting of the characters of the
play was of the highest order and
showed the wealth of patient work
which has been spent in its perfec-
tion. The piece was originally in
tended to be staged last year, but
circumstances made it impossible.
There were a few members of the
original cast who took part last night.
but the addition of several Freshmen
seemed to strengthen some of the
parts.
"The Magistrate" includes most
clever plot, one Of Pinero's strong
points and one which always charac-
terizes his work. Mr.. Posket, magis-
trate, gets into difficulties both
domestic and otherwise, and even SEN
tences his own wife to term in the
Jail. There are uproarious bits of
comedy interspersed in the three acts
which always served to keep the audi
ence laughing. ~
The all-round work of James Thigh
man, in the difficult role of Mrs. Pos
ket, won approval from everyone.
Mr.. Tilghman carried off the honors
of the show, and exhibited talent
which rose far above the amateur
variety. Mr.. Clifford Smith, as the
much abused and misunderstood Pos
ket also is deserving of special men,
ton. Others in the cast whose work
, was feature were: Paul Leahy,
Granville Robinson, H. A. Yanowitz,
A. V. Travers and R. Heinold.

Community Christmas
Plans Nearly Completed
Service. Under Big Tree on Christ.
mas Eve to be Conducted by
Ministers-Musica Pro-
gram Under Choral
Club
Light Tree This Week

The Second Annual Community
Christmas in Newark will soon be a
reality. The evident success of the
attempt to start the praiseworthy Gus
tom in tonw last year met with so
much praise that it was decided t.
attempt another celebration this year.
From the generous cooperation and
interest shown the 1922 edition will
no doubt surpass in size and quality
of music the one held last Christmas.
The services will begin on the
Academy lawn promptly at p. m. on
Christmas eve and will last for
perhaps an hour. As was the custom
last year, the tree will be placed and
illuminated a few days before the
event. The presence of the huge fir
with its ropes of vari-colored lights
ablaze brings home to every one the
real spirit of Christmas-and that
is just what it is intended to do.
Without the spirit, Christmas would
be no more than any other legal holi-
day. 1t is the Spirit that makes us
all give and give gladly, knowing that
in so doing we are bringing cheer to
friends and neighbors and relatives.
The Town, through Mr.. E. c. Will
son of the Light Committee, has ar
ranged fo rthe proper lighting of the
tree. The Choral Club has been prac-
ticing weekly in preparation for the
event, and will group themselves on
the High School steps where they will
form nucleus for the singing.
The ministers of the town have
been invited to conduct the services
and the program as arranged by
Mayor Frazer will be as follows:
Invocation-Rev. Frank Herson.
Scripture Reading-Rev. H. Everett
Hallman.
Prayer-Rev. Edgar Jones.
Closing Prayer and Benediction-
Rev. T. J. Brennan.
VIM. P. White will lead the singing.
The Choral Club will have charge of
the singing Of the following songs, in
terspersed with program:
ooh, Come All Ye Faithful"
"Silent Night"
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
"Oh, Little Town Of Bethlehem"
"It Came Upon Midnight Clear"
1t is hoped that everyone who is in
town that night will stroll down to
the scene of the celebration and lend
their voices to the cause of glorious
Christmas party in which every resi-
dent of Newark has part.

Chief Marshal
Route of Parade Mapped Out

At the meeting last night of the
New Years Parade Committee, fur
ther arrangements and plans were
perfected for the assured success of
the Mummers Parade to be held in
Newark on New Years evening, start
ing at o'clock.
That the prize list is mounting
rapidly was verified when Chairman
Shellender of the Soliciting Commit
tee announced the additional dona-
tions gathered during the past week
from the merchants of Wilmington
and Newark. The cash donation of
the Continental Fibre Company
amounting to $4,000 headed the list.
Then came smaller. amounts from
many Newark merchants and inter-
ested business people of Wilmington.
The total cash now available for
prizes in the various divisions
amounts to $445.00. In addition sew
eral more valuable articles of a prac-
tical nature were added to the grow
ing list.
Letters were sent to all the news
papers of the vicinity announcing the
| parade, and also to out of town bands
and marching organizations, extend
ing cordial invitations to be present
and compete for the awards. The
complete list of additional donations
received since last week will be found
elsewhere in this issue.
Route of Parade
The report of the parade committee
| which met in the Armory on Sunday
last, was given last night. The parade
route recommended by Mr.. Tierney of
that committee called for the follow
ing line of march.
From Main and Academy Streets
east on Main Street to Leaks Garage,
countermarch on Main Street to
, Chapel, north on Chapel to New, to
Choate and thence to Main; west on
Main to Elkton Road, to Delaware
Avenue, to South College Avenue, to
Main and back to Academy Street.
1t is very probable, however, that
Chapel, Choate and New streets will
be eliminated from the line of march
due to the fact that Choate Street is
too narrow for big floats, especially
when cars are parked along the curb.
The parade will form as follows:
First Division-Academy Street,
from Main to Delaware Avenue; Sec
ond Division-Delaware Avenue west
of Academy; and Third Division
east of Academy Street.
