The Selbyville Home Economics
girls are serving a "hot lunch" in
order to earn money to improve the
appearance of the Home Economics
room as part of their home deco
rating unit. They serve hot soup at
sc a serving. Also sandwiches at SC
each. The idea seems to be appre-
ciated by the pupils as they may
have warm food at noon, if they
wish, for small sum. The number
served Friday was record breaker
due to the stormy weather. The sales
amounted to $595.
The school attendance for October
was unusually high. The long dry
season favored attendance. A table
of grade and high school attendance
follows:
High school, 96.S; eighth grade,

sixth grades, 100; fourth and fifth
grades, 80; third and fourth grades,
99.1; first and second grades, 99.7.
Average grade attendance, 99.2.
Let us keep up this excellent rec
ord because 100 per cent attendance
means 100 per cent progress.

On Sunday evening, November Il
at 1880, in the Salem NJ. E. Church
Selbyville, there will be a service Oh
the Life of Christ in Art" This
will be comprised of stereOpticoI
slides of some of the great paintings
of the events in Christ's life, which
will be interpreted by the Director
of Religious Education of the church
Miss Ruth Lindseth. The choir will
assist in this service with anthems
and special musical numbers, anC
readings of Scripture and poetry
will also be used. Everyone is cor
daily invited to attend this special
service of worship.
Last Friday evening a number OF
the Sunday school teachers of the
Salem M. E. Church completed a
Standard Leadership Training
course which they have been attend
ing each Friday evening for the past
six weeks, at Snow Hill. + These
Standard Training Schools, which
are conducted by the Methodist Con-
ference, are an excellent means OF
receiving further training for the
important work of building Christian
character into the lives of our chill
dren and youth.
The high school group of the Sal
EN- M. E. Church have now organic
ed with Pauline Brittingham as pres
ident; William Stephens as vice
president, and Cecile Hamblin, Sec
retary-treasurer. Meetings are held
at the church each Sunday evening
at 6,45 for worship and discussion,
and on the first and third Wednes-
days of each month the group meets
for it's business meeting and recre-
alton. Any high school student or
young person of high school age is
cordially invited to meet with the
group at it's meetings.
On Tuesday evening, October 30,
the newly organized high school
group of the church had its Hal
lowe'en party at the home of Cecile
Hamblin, with about twenty-five at
tending. Games, stunts, and eats
comprised the evenings fun.

Selbyville High School foot ball
team was defeated by Seaford High
School team Thursday, November 1
by a score of II to 6.
Selbyville held SeafOrd well dur
ing the first half, but due to mis-
understanding of the signals to punt
they ran the ball at the five yard
line. This error gave Seaford their
first score. The other SeafOrd score
came as a result of a pretty reverse
play and forward passes. Selbyville
outplayed Seaford during the con-
test They also contributed several
long gains by use of a triple pass for
which Seaford was evidently unpre-
pared.
The team has improved very ap-
preciable during the season, as is
evidenced by the fact that Seaford
formerly defeated them by the score
of 40 to 0.

Few pupils have ever made finer
scholastic records than Louise Rog-
ers and Mary Flood, two juniors of
the Selbyville High School. During
the past three years and two months
of school, equal to 20 months, no
mark for any single month has ever
fallen belw A, an equivalent of 80
or more.
In 1925-26 each girl made SO A's
in 1926-27 each made 36-in 1927
28 Louise made As AS and Mary Sc.
In 1928-29 each has made all AS.
This makes a total of 144 AS for
Louise and 1876 AS for Mary up to
the opening of the 1928-29 term.
Glass standing, however, is deter
mined by average and the race be-
tween the two will be close at the
end of the senior year.

fascinated by the rather grim. box

through which guns no doubt were

She saw two men in uniform

it into the bank. They returned

and the car rolled away.
Once more she was about to en-

There were four men in 1t; two

sides of the car.
1t was like a rapid-action movie,
happening as it did all in a flash

the four. Yet in the instant the
man on the near side was dropping
lightly as a cat to the pavement,
Mary met his eyes-saw them

For he who had exchanged
glances with her, one of the two
now lodging across the street, was
Danny Mullins.
She caught the flash of his eyes
and felt a scream rushing against
her throat as he slithered into the
bank, his companion trailing. She
thought she did scream; later she
knew she had made no sound at
all. As on the night before. when
she was forced to start at the
grinning skull, she was frozen; she
had become block of ice which
could see and hear but which could
not move.

actually it was less than a minute,

Suddenly another officer appeared

too, were shooting. Dust spurted
from the pavement directly below
the black bag.
Then someone shouted and It
seemed to Mary that Mullins tossed
the bag at his companion, who
turned and made for the car. The
instant the two drew apart there
was new noise; sharp, STAG

For, although there might be
hearts sickened at the loss Of yalu-

the minority. The great majority
was having the time Of It's young,
middle-aged, or elderly life. When
midnight passes, inhibitions, re-

pass. A moment ago there had
seemed to be hundreds Of people
here and in the ballroom, but now
only the cleaning of cigarets
among the trees indicated the pres

scores to withdraw from public
observation, and philandering--if
occasional bursts Of feminine
laughter and deeper masculine
chuckles meant anything-seemed
to be the order Of the day--or
night.
Lessing's early feeling, OF being

Although their conversation had
been composed almost completely
of recrimination, it had been
poignantly delightful, more de.

with any woman, could ever
prove again.
He had told himself, when he
finally descended to join the
party, that 1t was her youth. her
beauty, her charm, but he knew
that IL was her self that had
made for the exquisite happiness
he felt when with her. No other
girl could give what she gave,
