UNDER CLASSMEN
READY FOR RATTLE

The residents of Newark and vi
clnlty who have nothing in particular
to do about four o'clock Friday after
noon can see for themselves what a
full-fiedged mob scene, sailor battle
and couple of football games all
rolled into one looks like. The occa-
sion is the annual renewal of the
classic and time-honored Freshman
Sophomore class fight. Year after
year the custom is given new life by
each incoming class, and this year ap-
proximately two hundred boys, clad
in anything from overalls to bathing
suits will struggle and strain for the
glorious honor of their respective
classes or something like that. The
curtain rises at four and isn't rung
down until one of the classes is tied
up ''hors du combat"
Fond mothers may weep and irate
fathers storm at the sight of their
son masticating dirt at the bottom
of pile of arms and legs, but they
will never know the thrill which
comes when calmly sitting on the
PROSTATE form of conquered Soph.
The comedy antics which are always
evident in these scraps usually keep
the spectators in an uproar. No ad-
mission is charged. The contestants
work on purely amateur basis. Any
coin of the realm which is forced into
their hands, however, will no doubt
go to Doc Brown or Jim Hastings in
exchange for Iodine and Sloan'ss Old
Reliable.

BEAGLE FIELD
TRIALS THIS WEEK

The 7th Annual Field Trials of the
Eastern Beagle Club are in full swing
this week on the farm of Thomas
Claringbold, just north of town, and
the many members and guests here
for the affair are delighted with the
splendid running shown to date. This
Club is largely made up of Delaware
ans. Mr.. Fred Martins, of Whining
ton, is President, and Joseph H. Bald
win, also of Wilmington, is Secretary.
Monday witnessed the running of
the 15-inch all age bitch class and
was productive of some of the finest
beagle field work ever seen by the
spectators. Their work was far above
the fondest expectations of their
handlers. Each brace put down found
and ran the game, and it was only
after hard work on the part of the
Judge, Mr.. George A. Flammer, Of
Roseland, N. j., that the class win
ners were picked. The trial was won
by "Baldwin's Princess" Prince A..
Mousely. Second place went to "Belle
of Mt. Brilliant" Follies Kennels;
third, "Mike's Queen" Davis A. Horn;
reserve, "Virginia Adair," Ralph
Butz, Albertus, Pa.
The classes for all-age dogs and
for the 13-inch classes will be feat
ures of the program for the balance
of the week.
The heavy shower Sunday follow
ing the continued drought, caused
some anxiety among the sportsmen
who are in town for the trials, but
the sending conditions on Monday
were very satisfactory, although the
game was not as plentiful as on other
visits of the Club. Beagle trials are
time honored and eagerly awaited
events among dog lovers, and there is
a great object in the sport. DR.. Fred
erick w. Kraiker, of Philadelphia, an
ardent follower of the game and Sec
retary of the Sportsmen's CLUB OF
West Chester, gave in a few words
the real goal when he said, "Ihese
trials, as well as similar ones all over
the country, are held for one and the
same purpose-to develop to perfec'
tion the Beagle as a rabbit hunting
dog"
Prominent visitors at the NewarF
trials include: DR.. Frederick W

rho Newark Choral Club met last

D I;torium for the purpose Of elect

Tho Club is also planning for a big

and hopes to gain the wholesome CO.

of 2 motion was attempted. Miss

At the meeting was urged by Mr.

rehearsal, as at least forty or fifty
voices are needed to properly conduct

This organization came into being
as a result of the agitation last

ity singing around the big tree on the
Academy grounds. Accordingly un'

SALES FORCE AT HOME PLANT

Officials of the Continental Fibre
Company of Newark played hosts to
their sales representatives from Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh for several days last week.
The visit is an annual one and takes
the form of a combined business trip
and outing. Part of the time this
year was spent in inspection trips and
conference at the plant, and many
pleasant hours were spent by the Wis
itors out at the Country Club, where
they engaged in royal tussles over the
elusive white ball. The members of
the party were delighted with the new
course and the cordial hospitality af-
forded them by the home Office.

CRITICALLY ILL

At the time the Post goes to press

Newark's oldest and most respected
merchants, who is lying at the point
of death in his home on Main street.
Mr.. Fader was confined to his bed
about two weeks ago, after a slow ILL

RALLY
TO STATE TICKET
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS AT WILMINGTON AND
CENTERVILLE STIR VOTERS
PROMINENT SPEAKERS PRESENT

Enthusiastic endorsement of the
candidacy of T. Coleman dupont for
United States Senator, Of Caleb R.
Layton for Representative in Con-
gress, and of the whole State Re-
publican ticket was the outcome of
the large mass meeting of the party
in the Playhouse last Saturday night.
The audience listened to inspiring
and encouraging speeches by Senator
Ball, Congressman Layton and former
Governor H. T. Bartlett, Of New
Hampshire, and at the close Of the
meeting a rousing demonstration was
accorded the candidates. Senator
dupont was present and spoke of the
problems confronting the government
and particularly those directly con-
cerning the people of Delaware. He
asked for the support of the voters to
the entire ticket. His speech was in
terpolated many times by flashes of
humor for which he is famous.
Senator Ball, in introducing Sena-
tor dupont, spoke of him as one of
the country's greatest business men,
the builder of good roads and man
who places his wealth and influence
in the right places. When he men,
toned the Junior Senator's name, a

Diphtheria Epidemic
Well In Hand
No Cases Reported This Week
Officials Succeed in Stamping
Out Threatened Outbreak

The threatened outbreak of diphthe-
ria which has alarmed the residents
of Newark for the past week is be-
lieved to be fully checked. The
Board of Health, Board of Education
and the local physicians have CO.
operated admirably in their efforts
to prevent the spread of the disease
and it can now be said with reason
able surety that their efforts have
been successful.
The first case appeared in the lower,
grades of the public schools about a
month ago, and during the interven-
ing time about fifteen cases have been
reported to the Board of Health.
With the exception Of one or two, all
the cases have been among the chill
dren of the primary and grammar
schools. AS a result and as further
prevention, these departments of the
Newark schools have been closed for
the present week. This action was
taken in the interests of the parents
who objected to their children return
ing to school because of the alarming
spread of the disease. The feeling
of unrest among the parents, how
ever, was greatly augmented by err
roneous reports which have circulated
about town during the past few
weeks. Every effort to uncover and
properly treat slight cases of the dis
ease has been expended by those in
charge and as result there are no
cases at this time who are escaping
the watchful eyes of the Board of
Health.
DR.. Walter H. Steel, president of
the Board of Education, and physi-
clan gave out the following state
ment Monday relative to the out
break:
eve have the situation we'll in hand,
and there is no cause for alarm among
the residents. Several cases had de-
veloped before the authorities were
notified. Carelessness has played
large part in the spread of the dis
ease. Parents have insisted in send
ing their children back to school after
the teachers had sent them home be-
cause they felt i'll. At other times,
children have complained of sore
throats and were given home reme-
dies when they should have been ex-
amined by physician, especially in
the face of an approaching outbreak.
There is no need for an epidemic of
this disease to break out anywhere.
A liberal use of care and good COM
mon sense by everyone at all times
would soon drive diphtheria into the
medical junk pile"
Secretary Herdman, of the Board
of Health, corroborated the state
ments made by DR.. Steel and ex-
pressed his gratitude at the co-opera-
tion given him by the physicians and
, citizens of the town.
The greatest danger in an outbreak
of this type is the persistent rumors
which spread over the town like wild
fire and are for the most part totally
wrong. 1t is, of course, harmful to
any community to pass through the
: siege of a dangerous epidemic, and
for that reason there is little need for
publicity along those lines. 1t is
: deemed wise, however, to acquaint the
: people of Newark to the facts as they
are and in that way relieve their
minds Of the burden caused by in
correct rumors.
