It is expected that Superintendent
Holmes of the school department and
members OF the board of education
will be present.
The program throughout will be OF
a patriotic nature, in keeping with the
spirit. of Memorial Day. The project
is fostered by the members OF the
former Jewish war welfare board
who are now taking up community
work. II was suggested that the eXer-
cises be held on Memorial Day, but
the committee decided that this would
conflict with the public observance OF
the day and decided to hold them to-
morrow.
While there are enough parents in
terested In the event to more than
occupy all seats in the hall, the com
mittee urges that residents other than
Jewish men and women attend as ac-
com m odations have been reserved for
them. The committee states that the
message of the program can best be
driven home by the cooperation OF
residents who are OF other religious
faiths and nationalities.
The program will begin at O'Clock
and between the several numbers or
chestral music will be furnished.

Brutus browns Sorrow in Milk
After Foul Deed Is Committed

Class day was celebrated al the
Senior High school yesterday when
from early morning until the close OF
the afternoon exercises the school was
frightened up with the various class
esiors worn by the students In the
classes,
Throughout the day In the class
rooms the usual routine was changed
somewhat. The students, and in
many eases the teachers, were attlfed
In the color of the class TO which
they are connected. The following

The afternoon periods were short

rcheduled for the day and school was
dismissed about 3 o'clock. The aetl-
yities consisted OF several plays under
the direction OF Mrs. Amy Guilford,
director OF dramatios ut the school,
The plays were very enjoyable and
kept the crowd that packed the school

tho part of Charles Covert, Robert
Christ and Catherine Travis. The
Intimate Stranger" Leave 1t to
Polly" school for Scandal" and two
scenes from "Penrod" by members OF
Miss Frances Ferguson's English
classes under the direction Of Mrs.
Guilford proved to be very popular
Judging from the applause at the end
OF each play.
The feature play on the program
was a travesty of Julius Caesar by
young men whose names have been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the school athletics for the past
few years They have the school de-
partment to thank for the scenery
which was supposed to add to the
dramatic effect of the play. The
elaborate CD costumes were borrow
ed from the athletic department of
the school. There were articles Of
apparel from every sport at the
school used at the play. The feature
Of the play was in the fourth scene
when Brutus paul LaHar,) desperate
after committing stabbing Caesar, or
ders a bottle of wine, whereupon a
bottle of milk was served to him. He
drank the whole pint. The applause
he received for his achievement was
deafcning. If julius Caesar were as
sasinated in reality the way he was in
the play as it was produced yesterday
the tragedy would have been greater.
Everything from fists to clubs were
used on him. The young men who
took part in the play were Paul La
Har, Benedict Durham, Thomas Nc
Cabe, Dominic Naples, Edward
O'Brien, George Scheyd,' Irving Crowl
and Earl Putney,
Dancing from the close OF the en-
tertainment until 6 o'clock was held

DEMAND FOR CARPETS
When Germans Moved Into Smaller
Living Quarters. Need For Floor
Coverings Declined PrOpOrtionately

Berlin, May 26.--AS Germans NOV
ed into smaller living quarters, be-
cause of high rentals, the need for
floor coverings declined proportion
atcly. At the same time prices con-
tinuel high on account OF the heavy
import duties on raw materials, and
out of both these conditions there re-
suited buyers strike. People dis
pensed with new carpets, or got along
with what they had before.
Now carpet prices have fallen from
one third to one-half, but even SO a
domestic covering nine by twelve feet
costs the equivalent of 800, and there
are few buyers.
All house hold furnishings bring
good prices today in Germany, and
many former officials OF the old gov
eminent have sold their apartment
leases and furnishings for enough
money TO pay their way to some dis
tant part Of the world where life is
begun anew.

CAPTAIN JOHN REVILLE DIES

Captain John M. C. Reville, former
ly well known native of Milford
DEL died at his residence in Philadel-
phia, on Monday, June 25th, 1928, aged
80 years, months and days. The
remains were brought to Milford on
Thursday and buried with his ances-
tors, in the Episcopal Church yard He
was a son of William F. Reville and
Annie Carlisle Reville, the prominent
families of Milford sixty years ago
and of it's best citizenship. He served
in the Civil War in both the Army and
Navy; in the latter service he rose to
the rank of First Lieutenant. After
that war, he engaged in maritime COM
merce and for many years commanded
large coast-wide schOOners trading be-
tween the United States and Central
America. He was a member of Temple
Lodge, A. F. & A. NJ, of Milford and
was one of it's oldest members. He
was one of the first to join the Grand
Army of the Potamac and was a pa
triotic citizen at all times. In politics
he was an ardent Republican. He is
survived by his wife and one son, Car
Isle Reville, of West Philadelphia.
Cdpldlll INGNlllG was OllC VI IuC OluCOI
base ball players in the State of Del
aware, if not the nation. He was
member of the Milford club-the first
to play the game in lower Delaware.
Men whose names have become his
tory were members of that club and
they have all passed, except Manlove
Reville, who now resides in Colorado,
and is we'll on in his eighties. In those
days all balls were bowled instead of
thrown. Fouls or fly balls were outs
if caught direct from the bat, or after
the first bounce. Games started in the |
morning and ended at any time; while |
scores are recorded when each club |
made from IS to 95 or more runs durA
ing the nine innings Of each. Captain
John Reville was a strenuous player
Of the game, as he was in everything
be undertook to accomplish. A few
Of the present generation knew him,

With pleasant memories.

DIR. CHARLES A. TINDLEY
MADE ADDRESS IN MILFORD

The people of Milford were given
opportunity to hear a really accom-
plished and able man deliver three ad-
dresses in Milford. He is a minister
of the Methodist Church, stationed in
Philadelphia, where he is in charge
of the largest church and congrega-
tiOn for the colOred race, in that city.
He is an author of many hymns sung
in the churches of the world, and they
are published in two volumns.
DR.. G. Layton Grier heard him speak
before an audience of highly educated
and trained business men in Philadel-
phia, recently and then conceived the
idea of having DR.. Tindley come to
Milford and speak in the Plaza The
atre, that all people, cOlOred and white,
might have the opportunity of hearing
the really great citizen of the cOlored
race. 1t was through the effort of DR..
Grier that this was arranged and there
was nothing of a political purpose
back of it.; but, simply, that a better
understanding may be brought about
between the two races, showing the
better side of the negro and better side
of the white races, that all may live
together in citizenship and do their
duty towards making Milford the best
town in which to live in the State of
Delaware
DR.. Tindley was guest of Rev. and
Mrs. J. R. Holland pastor of st. Pauls |
NJ. E. church, during his stay in Mil
ford.
DR.. Tindley was born on a farm
near the Sinepuzent Bay, near Berlin,
Md, and started to get his education
after he was seventeen years old. For
twenty years he studied hard and
graduated When he was appointed
pastor of Mt. Calvery M. E. Church, in
Philadelphia, twenty-three years ago,
its membership was only two hun
1red; now, it has a membership of
1000, with 1000 active in the church /:
4 Ork. This is the largest congregation
If colOred people il the world.
He has gained fame as both a prea- 1
her and a lecturer in both America 5
nd in Europe. An audience of one S
hOusand greeted him in the Plaza ?
'heatre last Sunday afternoon, while Il
be other audiences were very large o
ut were for colored people especial Q
=. When real big men, who have s.
lade good, address an audience of the s.
haracter that greeted DR.. Tindley in n
Lilford, the results must be lasting "
Dr the uplift of the races. u.
