BETTER HOMES

Hundreds of communities, large and
small, in every part of the United
States have conducted Better Homes
demonstrations with wonderful sue
cess. Many who participated thought
it the most worth while service since
the work during the war. The future
history of America will be shaped in a
large measure by the character of it's
homes. We must continue to be home
loving people so that we may have
the strength that comes only from a
happy family life. Our homes must
be attractive, comfortable, convenient
and wholesome. In many of the states
and towns, houses have been secured
and equipped as a model home. This
is impossible for us to do in Milford,
but we hope to use the Milford New
Century Club room or the Grange
Hall. This is the first time Delaware
has taken up the "Better Homes"
demonstration and we will do the best
we can to make it a success but we
cannot hope to compete with some of
the other states. Better Homes" week
extends from May II to May 18th.
Several films concerning this matter
will be displayed at the Plaza Thea
tire. The governors Of thirty states
have endorsed this movement and our
governor was among the thirty.

WOMAN KILLED BY
SHOT FROM PISTOL
Death Was Evidently SeIf-InfIicted.
Family Can Give No Reason
For Act.

Mrs. Willie Deputy, wife of Wilbert
Deputy, who formerly resided on a
farm near Three Bridges, was found
dead in her bedroom shortly before
noon on Thursday last by her hus-
band. Death had been caused by a
pistol shot, and had evidently been
instantaneous. Mrs. Deputy held a
pistol in her hand when found.
Her husband and a son had been
out on the beach attending to routine
work, looking after his fishing boat
and when they returned to the house
he missed his wife. Search revealed
her dead body in the bed room. DR.. S.
M. D. Marshall, of Milford, was sum-
moned Immediately, but death had
occurred almost instantly. The bullet
had entered her chest and passed
through the heart. A coroner's jury
brought in a verdict to the effect that
death was self-inficted. The members
of the family state that Mrs. Deputy
was in her usual good health when
they left the home in the morning,
and they can give no reason for the
act.
Four children survive her. They are
Lille, Wilbert and Loretta.
The first two are married.

ASK CHURCH TO LIFT
BAN ON ADJUSTMENTS
Bishops Declare In Address To Gen.
eraI Conference That The Re-
ligiOus Motives Should Rule.
STAND FIRM ON DRY LAW
Warfare Is Denounced, And Chris
tians Are Called To Fight Against
WarIike Policies.

All agitations to modify or repeal
the prohibition laws have failed and
will fail, declared the address of the
Board of Bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which was read
last Sunday before 1000 persons who
crowded every nook and corner of the
great Municipal Building at Spring
field, Mass. The address was broad
cast, and it was said that thousands
of listeners-i-n as far as the Middle
West were able to hear it.
The Bishops advocated that the ban
on dancing, card playing, theatre and
circus going be lifted, and this was
applauded They declared there ought
to be no more war. They asked for
the entrance of the United States into
a World Court. They gave hearty ap-
prOval to the proposed basis for unfit
cation between the Methodist Church
North and the Methodist Church
South. They denounced divorce and
recalled the rule of the Church that
no Methodist minister can remarry a
divorce except the innocent party
when the divorce was for unfaithful-
ness. They roundly condemned the
