APPROXIMATELY SEVEN HUN


DRIED and fifty persons, men, women
and children, attended the Face the
Facts" meeting in the Plaza Theatre
at Milford on Monday evening. The
meeting was sponsored and conduct
ed by representatives of the Della
ware Branch of the Association
Against the Eighteenth Amendment
with headquarters in Wilmington.
Pierre S. du Pont acted as chairman
of the meeting and cited statistics
which he contended proved the
Eighteenth Amendment a mistake,
and he urged consideration OF meth
ods to right the wrong. Captain
William H. Stayton, head OF the ma
+ional movement against Prohibition
spoke at length and presented his
arguments for a change. The prln-
cipal speaker of the evening was
Rev. James P. Empringham, an
Episcopal clergyman, VINO IS secre-
tary of the National Episcopal Tenn
perance Society, which society has
no official connection, we are 1nfor-
mer. with the Episcopal Church. He
cited statistics and presented his
argument for a change substantially
as reported in the daily press for
months past. Senator Thomas f.
Ravard. who represents the Diamond
State at Washington, in pleasing
manner presented his argument foF
A change-but apparently made no
great impression upon his listeners.
Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, the only
lady On the stage, explained cond1-
tions local to her and told of the
remedies which had corrected them.
Her argument seemingly weakened
the case as made out by the other
speakers. OF the audience approx
mately 159 to 200 persons were resi-
dents of Milford. The remainder
were persons from other towns IN
Delaware and many of the automo-
biles standing in front of the theatre
bore Maryland licenses - which
would indicate that a goodly proper
tion were from that state. Much OF
the crowd was composed of farmers,
their wives and children who had
come to enjoy the band music and
hear the free talks. At no time did
the audience give indication OF
hearty approval of the utterances OF
the speakers, and it was at rare IN
tervals that applause broke in upon
them. Taken as whole the meet
ing must have been disappointing TO
those proponents Of the return OF
1iouor-for the meeting most assur-
edly demonstrated to those VINO
know the sentiments of the residents
here that they were not convinced
by the arguments presented. Fully
6fty per cent Of those who attended
from Milford are dry in their voting
and they will continue to be. Dry
advocates in Milford are much elat-
ed as a result of Monday nights
meeting. They believe that the heavy
artillery of the vets failed to ad-
vance a convincing argument for a
change.

Don't profess too much. BE. care
full how you give in your holdings.
Any way you take it, at least mon
ey-making is a sordid business.
Lead some soul into the larger
life-where first you must abide.
In some quarters a man and his
family are not really considered re-

conspicuous waste.
Many a fellow is defeated by his
doubts-his lack of confidence. Take
the risk-to falter would be sin.
He who is worthy of being called
a man is unshaken in adversity,
humble in prosperity, courageous in
danger; and, if not learned, has at
least a love for learning.
There is an irresistible fascination
in the life devoted to letters. The
path of the literary genius is paved
with bones. Few there are who turn
their faces to the hills beyond the

crs' Association which opened in the
