"Lost-Where do you want to go?'
l had drawn up beside the curb at a
street corner in Chicopee Falls, Mass,
and was pouring over an auto Blue
Book, trying to find a way out to
Worcester. The question came from
a man in another car who had been
following and had seen my hesitation
as to the right street to take. 81 am
trying to figure out a way to Wor-
cester," was my reply. "You are way
off; follow me, and I'll put you right"
l did, and through a maze of streets
that would have been impossible to a
stranger. Incidentally on the way he
pointed out where Fisk Tires were
made. | had ridden many miles on
them, but had never before known
their birthplace. He stopped at
length, and gave me final direction.
| thanked him for his kindness and
went on my way with just a bit
warmer feeling for mankind. Two or
three miles farther on came another
point of hesitation. A kindly faced
old gentleman in a car like my own
slowed up by me. "Where to-" he
inquired. Worcester" was my re-
ply. Follow me, Pm going there"
For sixty miles at every point of
doubt, though numerous cars had slip
ped in between US | found the familiar
car waiting to point the right way.
Once while the traffic was blocked he
came back to see us. He knew some
people in Delaware that we knew.
When he stopped in Worcester, l got
out and thanked him. "You have been
very kind to u.s." l said. "If people
had been kinder to each other, we
would never have had a world war;"
was his reply. He was Father O'Con-
ner of Northampton.
Teachers, you are about to begin
the work of another school year.
You are going to come in contact with
number of travellers. Each one of
them is going over new and strange
road. Probably the most of them
know only in the most general way

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
BETTER LAST YEAR
Report Shows that Pupils
Averaged l42 Days; After
Even Better Mark

If progress in education is meas
ured by school attendance, Delaware
has made remarkable progress in the
past four years. The State Depart
ment of Public Instruction has Just
completed the figures in regard to
this matter. They show that the
State sent it's children to school in
the school year 1888 on an aver
age of 80 days; in 1920, 11S days !;
in 192o-21, 1874 days, and last year
142 days.
Schools cost no more when the chill
dren attend than when they stay at
home. These figures would indicate
that the State is getting more and
more service from the biggest insti-
tuition that it is maintaining, namely,
the Public Schools.
The schools for the most part will
open on Tuesday, September 5th. By
Starting the race for attendance on
the very first day, the average attend
ance for next year should be raised
to $50 days. The cry of our soldiers
IN France was, "Let's CO." It was
the keynote of their progress. The
State of Delaware has evidently de-
cided to adopt the same slogan.

1.-THE Bat" FAMOUS PLAY
AT PLAYHOUSE SEPT. l.

"The Bat" by Mary Roberts Rine-
hart and Avery Hopwood, the most
successful dramatic play by all odds
produced in the past generation, will
be presented at the Playhouse, Will
mington, on Labor Day matinee and
night and Tuesday night, September
a and 5, by Wagenhals and Kemper.
Those who are at all interested in the
affairs of the theatre are familiar
with the remarkable record made by
"The Bat"
For over two years, "The Bat"
played to capacity audiences in New
York. For more than a year, another
company presented "The Bat" in
Chicago where it broke every, existing
record for the length of a run and
smashed all box Office records for re-
ceipts. The play stands absolutely in
a class by itself in point of popularity.
Not little fthe success of "The
Bat' is due directly to the sportsman
ship of the theatrical critics and
theatre-goers who have seen it. The
authors and managers unite wherever
"The Bat" is presented, in requesting
that no one disclose the secret of the
play, and so far as known, no one
has ever broken faith in that regard.
The result is that there is still the
same delightful surprise in store for
theatre-goers today as there was the
first night "The Bat" was ever IRE:
sented on any stage.
"The Bat" comes to the PLAYHOUSE
backed by its remarkable record for
popularity and the enormous success
that has greeted it every place it has
been seen. The production is exactly
the same as that used by the New
York and Chicago companies and the
cast is particularly strong one.
The seat sale opens on Thursday.
August 81.

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT,
 IS FIERY, ITCHY OR
 ROUGH, USE SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho- Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin spe- cialist. This sulphur preparation. made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery ecze- ma, that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of its germ destroying pro- perties, it quickly subdues the itch ing, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in>place of ugly eruptions rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for im- provement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho- Sul- | phur at any drug store.
