the best movie melodrama 1 have

and also the result Of the men COM

Today, take It, that the Circle
Symphony Orchestra has not only
advanced itself under the direction
Of Bakaleinikoff, but each member
has given to the director and TO the

that individual interest which makes
only for greater success.
We call that team work, but It is
nothing but the collective expression
of artists functioning in perfect

may look back upon two years of
musical advancement and as well

The one big factor I'm the progress
of this orchestra under the direction
of Bakaleinikoff has been the ability
Of the entire organization to function
along many lines.
The first of these has been the

numbers have been played. In
movie theater it is necessary to mix
the classics with popular music and
it is no disgrace. it Is compliment

Using a lantern to find out how

age not only nearly cost s. E..
Thompson, a poultry raiser of near
Houston, his life Monday night, but
also resulted in both garage and au-
tomobile being destroyed by fire that
followed the explosion.
Thompson took the cap off the
tank. The fumes ignited from the
lantern and an explosion followed.
Thompson was badly burned about
the face and hands and was brought
to the Marshall Hospital in Milford
for treatment. When members Of the
family, attracted by the explosion,
made an investigation they found the
garage on fire but Thompson had es-
caped from the building. The Car
Isle Fire Company was called but
the garage and machine were de-
stroyed when the firemen arrived.
They kept the flames from spreading
to the house and other buildings.
The loss was about $1,000.

EARLY WINTER STORM
BLANKETS DELAWARE
With SNOW AND ICE
Sunday Storm Is Most Severe
Early Winter Storm To Visit
State In Years.
BIG DROP In TEMPERATURE
A Low Mark Of l3 Degrees Above
Zero Registered In Milford
Tuesday Morning.

The entire State was blanketed
with a covering of snow, and sleet
when the most severe early winter
to visit Delaware in years held sway.
In Wilmington and the northern
part of the State snow fell to the
depth of about four inches, after
which sleet made travel almost i'm
possible. The snow fell at Milford
to the depth of about an inch, and
freezing rain and sleet formed ice
on the countryside which practically
stopped all traffic. Trees were cover
ed with ice and made a beautiful
sight as the sun shown on them.
The snow was not heavy further
south in Sussex county, but icy high
ways stopped all out-Of-dOOrs work.
At Milford the children early took
advantage of the snow and ice, and
they were out with their sleds long
before the storm had abated. Exceed
ingly cold weather for early Decem-
ber continued over Monday. and
Tuesday so that the snow and ice
melted but little. On Tuesday morn
ing the official government thermom-
eter in Milford registered 13 degrees
above zero. This is a record for De-
cember 7th in this town.
From many sections of the State
reports of broken wires and trees,
due to the heavy ice and sleet have
been received. Intense suffering was
recorded on the part of those per-
sons who were compelled to be out
of-doors. On Sunday travel in Mil
ford was more nearly at a standstill
than it has been in years. On the
more heavily travelled streets and
main entrances to the town where
normally a steady stream of autOmo-
biles is moving, less than fifty cars
were noted during the entire day.
The storm on Sunday extended
from Maine as far south as the Del
aware Capes and throughout New
England was exceedingly severe.

ALL SHOULD HELP
THIS WORTHY PROJECT
Christmas Seal Sale Aids Sufferers
From White Plague

Thousands of letters containing
the annual appeal for the purchase
of Christmas seals to aid the cam
paign against tuberculosis in Della
ware have been received in every
city, town and village in the State.
Already many hundreds have re-
piled, enclosing their dollar or
checks for SIS or $40, and from the
proceeds of which the educational
program against tuberculosis will be
continued.
Governor Robert P Robinson is
honorary chairman of the Christmas
seal sale and Mrs. Donald S. Ash
brook, active chairman. Miss Emily
P. Bissell, the originator of the
Christmas seal is secretary and all
checks are made out to John S. Ros-
sell, treasurer, the director of the
campaign is Constance Moore. As
sociated with these in the campaign
are George w. X. Forrest, Mayor of
Wilmington; DR.. Arthur T. Davis,
secretary of the State Board of
Health; DR.. Meredith I. Samuel, of
Wilmington; DR.. G. Layton Grier of
Milford, Frank M. Jones of George
town, and Mrs. A. D. Warner, Sr.,
Mrs. Joseph Bancroft and Mrs. Geo.
S. Cappelle, Jr., of Wilmington. In
presenting the appeal for the pur-
chase of Christmas seals Mrs. ASH
brook writes:
= with the Christmas season comes
the Christmas seal to greet you.
''Will you buy the enclosed Tuber-
culosis Christmas Seals and use
them on THE BACK of your holiday
letters and packages?
This is the nineteenth year in
which the Christmas seal has finan-
ced our fight against tuberculosis in
Delaware. In 1907, when we started
the Christmas seal, there was no
sanatorium in our State, no educa-
tional work, and the death rate from
tuberculosis was nearly double what
it is at present.
Tuberculosis can be PREVENT
ED, and CURED if treated in time.
I'VE need money for the sick chill
dren of Delaware's poor, m danger

followed, will increasingly prevent

FINAL NSTALLMENT ON
STATE INCOME TAX DUE
Total Tax On 1926 Incomes Must Be
Paid Before December Is

The final installments of State tax
due on incomes for the year 1925 are
being collected until December Is,
in the Offices of the State Tax De-
partment at Wilmington, Dover and
Georgetown. The final payment is
expected to clear the 1925 lists Of
the department of all items out
standing for that year, including ad-
ditional taxes found to be due as a
result of an audit of the return, ex-
cept a very few which are being ap-
pealed.
1t is desired by the tax depart
ment that the notices, which were
mailed, be forwarded with the re-
mittance to facilitate the handling of
the payments.
Remittance should be made by
check or money order payable to the
State Tax Department through the
mails, or by cash at the local Offices.
Failure to make payment on or be-
fore December Is makes the taxable
liable for penalties provided by law.
1t was pointed out that immediate
steps would be taken by the tax de-
partment to remove the outstanding
balances for the year 1926 after the
expiration of the due date.

URGES CAREFUL PREPARATION
OF HOLIDAY SHIPMENTS
American Express Agent Advises
Early Shopping To Insure Delivery

"A shipment started right is half
way there" remarked T. M. Hol-
combe, agent of the American Rail-
way Express Co., in Milford, today,
in discussing the coming holiday
traffic. All indications point to heavy
business, according to Mr.. HOlcombe
and he laid stress upon the impor-
tance of early shipping, as well as
early shopping.
Regarding the preparation Of hol-
iday shipments, Mr.. Holcombe made
some timely suggestions:
"In preparing any shipments, con-
sideration should be given to the
nature of the goods, the distance
they are to travel and the amount Of
handling they must necessarily re-
ceive. The nature of the gift and the
weight will determine whether it can
safely be transported with paper
wrapping only.
Fragile articles, like glass and
crockery, need the protection of a
box OF other outside container in ad-
dition to ample and suitable cush-
Joining material. If several are for
warded in the same package, each
should be separately wrapped and
then perhaps tied together. Play in
