CONTEST OPEN TO
DELAWARE GIRLS
Fifty-DOIIar Prize Offered Writer OF
Best Essay In State---Tell Why
States Youth Ought To Join
Military Training Camps.

Delaware girls, whose aspiration
follow the dual channel of writin,
and khaki uniforms, will have an Cd
portunity to demonstrate their liter
ary ability in an essay contest to bC
conducted by the Women's Oversee.
Service League on the subject, 'Why
a Young Man 1 Know Should Attend &
Citizens Military Training Camp
Thus, essayists, in addition to compe-
ting for a $50 cash prize, will aid in
focusing the attention of Delaware
youths on the summer training camp
at Plattsburg.
By the rules of the contest essayists
must be between 13 and 19 years of
age; essays must be submitted to the
local chairman-to be designated later
by midnight, May 5; essays must be
limited to 300 words and written upon
one side of the paper.
The essays will be judged upon a
basis of originality, expression and
sincerity. The essays of the winners
from the several states will then be
rejudged and the best three selected.
The winning essayists will be given
trip, with all expenses paid, to Wash
ingtOn.
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, whose two
sons have already enrolled for the
training will present prizes at the
White House to the three young wo-
men who best describe why young
men they know should attend citi-
zen's military training camp.
Miss Wanda Caswell, in a statement
announcing the contest said:
when you write think Of your own
brother or some other boy who would
derive benefit and try to convince him
that it is his duty to enroll in a sum-
mer camp.
Naturally you will think first of
patriotic reasons. You will think of
the many attractions of camp life,
with its physical exhiliaration and its
beautiful setting. Then there are the
aids to Misunderstanding the disci-
plinary training, the social activities,
and the opportunity to travel at no ex-
pense whatever.
ARMY officers skilled in the art of
training youth will start the boys on
the road to commissions in the Off |
GERS Reserve Corps, so that in the |
event Of call to the colors they may |
hold rank as officers. But there is no |
for the students to serve an
enlistment or commit themselves in
any way for future service.
Physical training teachers will SUI
Dervise their physical welfare and
guide their recreationaI activities.
Their social life, too, comes under the
guidance Of a resident hostess-a wo-
nan practiced in the social arts,
whose province it is to arrange and
,haperone all social activities.
''But over and above every other
the boy attending a. C.
u. T. Camp will render to his country
splendid patriotic service worthy of
,ood devoted American citizens,
which, after all, is the highest aspir-
tion of each and every one of U.S."

COURT ASKED TO DECIDE
WHEN MASH Is BEVERAGE

Argument was heard at Dover on
Monday before the Court in Banc
with Chief Justice PenneWill and AS
sociate Justices Rice, Rodney, Har-
rington and Richards sitting, to hear
argument. 1t was a case from Sussex
county in which a jury rendered a
verdict of guilty on an Indictment for
the unlawful possession of spirituous
liquor-that of a large quantity of
mash.
Daniel ]. Layton represented the
defendant, and Charles H. Stock
ley and Deputy Attorney General
Houston represented the State. The
question involved was spirituous liq-
uor or a beverage. The testimony was
to the effect that an analysis Of the
mash did reveal a degree of alcohol.
The defendants wife testified that
the mash was nothing more than a
combination of things thrown in a
barrel, later to be given to the pigs.
1t was declared that alcohol was
found in the mash, hence the indict-
ment
Argument was also heard on Mon
day on a motion for a new trial in the
damage case of Poynter VS.. John G.
Townsend. A Kent country jury last
February returned a verdict for $3.50
for Mrs. Poynter. Daniel J. Layton
for Townsend and James H. Hughes
for Mrs. Poynter. The court reserved
its decision in both cases.

WHEREIN THE FARMER SCORES

A letter to the Baltimore Sun pub
Iished recently showed that the en-
battled farmer can WELD a pen as well
as hoe. Referring to the proposed
rule of having milk shipped to the city
cooled to sixty-three degrees for the
protection of urban consumers, he
contrasted the safeguards thrown
around milk to the indifference shown
to exposure of foods sold in the mar
kets and on the streets of Baltimore.
The point is well taken. A visit to

the germ-laden wind blows over open

reason for the farmer to wonder
