CAMP OTONKA ENDS
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Y. W. C. A. Members To Number Of
14O Enjoy Outing On Indian River

The 1928 season for Camp Otonka,
the District Y. w. c. A. Camp on the
Indian River, closed last Saturday.
One hundred and twenty-four girls
and 16 women enjoyed the pleasures
of camping during seven weeks.
These guests came from 26 COM
munities. The registration is open to
Delaware girls, but if registration is
not full, girls from other states may
then come in. Some of the girls re-
mained for three weeks, others two
and others one, but whatever the
length of the stay, they left with
great enthusiasm to return for an
other year for longer time, if pos
sible.
During the season, several girls
tried out in long-distance swimming,
after being tested in the instruction
class. During the last week, those
who made the other Shore" which
is about one mile away, were Eliz-
abeth Edge, Mildred Wentz, Marga-
ret Wentz, Ruth Sieman, Arlene
Wagner, Peg Abbott, Betty Wilkins,
Virginia Wilson carried off the high
est honors by swimming over and
back. On the last day of camp Mil
dred Wentz swan to Oak Orchard,
while Miss Mary Vale, the swimming
instructor, swan to the same place
and back without a rest. Three girls
passed their Junior Life Saving Test
during the season.
The dramatic groups gave plays
on Friday evenings for the program
of the last evening of the week. The
folk dancing groups gave their fin
ished productions as part of the Fri
day evening programs.
In the handicraft groups, wool
purses, leather change purses, pine
needle mats, fibroid pillows en-
broidered with Camp Otonka,
1925" blue prints, paper belts and
leather writing cases were made
under the direction of Miss Joseph
inc Parthemore, who was also the
camp pianist.

Wilmington and New Castle coun-
ty delegates to the Democratic State
Convention Tuesday afternoon at the
Dover Opera House, although only
laying claim to three State offices in
the caucus, won four out OF seven of
the Offices cOntended for, two others
going to Sussex and only one to
Kent.
In their joint caucus the Whining
ton and New Castle county delegates
voted to claim only the offices of
United States Senator, the Lieuten-
ant-governorship and the office Of
Attorney General. Content with this,
the delegates assembled in the con-
VentiOn hall only to find the Office
of State Treasurer practically fore
ed upon them following the nomIna-
ton from the floor fo- the Office OF
w. Herman Reynolds, of Townsend,
who was defeated for the same office
on the same ticket two years ago.
Reynolds nomination was unop-
posed and he was chosen Ey accla-
nation.
Kent People Angry
The fact that Kent county, the
only consistently Democratic coun-
ty in the State, only received one
office out of seven on the State tick
ct, that of DR.. Charles NJ. Buck"
Wharton, for governor, seemed to
rankle many of the Kent Democrats
who felt that they should have Sc
cured at least two offices.
Aside from a fairly spirited bal
lOting contest for the Office of lieu
finally won by w.
TruXtOn BOyce, of Stanton, with 123
delegate votes, against IS cast for
Herman G. Taylor, Dover, chairman
of the Kent County Democratic
Committee, the convention was tame.
There were no discussions, debates
or arguments of any sort during the
whole session. The wet and dry
issue invaded the ranks of the con-
Vention earlier in the day. 1t came
about during the Sussex county
caucus, when John NJ. Richardson,
of Georgetown, supposed to have the
support of the "wets," met consider
able opposition from reported "drys"
backing Robert P. Davis, of Milford,
for Congress. Richardson won by a
vote of SO to q after spirited bal
loting.
The wet and dry issue died in the
seemingly, and was only
family revived in the speeches made
On the convention floor by Former
Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Okla

LOS ANGELES PASSES
OVER DELAWARE
Many Milford Residents Saw Huge
Airship About Noon On Tuesday

Many Milford residents saw the
United States Navy giant dirigible,
the Los Angeles, pass over the wes-
tern section of the town about noon
on Tuesday. The huge airship caus-
ed wonderment at its immense size.
It was on it's way to Hebron, Md,
to take part in the dedicatory exer-
cises incidental to the opening of
the Hebron Airport, near Salisbury.
The Los Angeles paid its compli-
ments by circling over the field
shortly before o'clock, having
made a special trip from it's hangar
at Lakehurst, New Jersey.
Arriving more than an hour be-
fore the time announced for its ap-
pearance, the ships arrival at the
airport was witnessed by only about
a 1000 people, although the throng
at the airport later in the afternoon
was estimated at from 1000 to 5000.

HEALTH CONDITIONS in
DELAWARE ARE GOOD
Death Rate From tuberculosis Low
est Since Records Have Been Kept

The lowest death rate from tuber-
culosis that Delaware has ever
shown since the State Board Of
Health began keeping records, is in
dicated by reports for the first six
months of the year. For the first
six months of 1928, the mortality
has been the least of any year on
record. This would seem to assure
the lowest death rate for the entire
year.
The weather, this summer, being
both hot and humid, has been a
severe strain on babies and children.
There has been a lot of measles
among infants and in the majority
of cases pneumonia has followed.
With the vitality of the baby weak
ened through the measles, it seldom
is able to fight successfully against
pneumonia. For that reason, there

MIDNIGHT OWLS
TO Get VIEW OF
MOON ECLIPSE
Luna to Enter Shadow of
Earth at 1925 Tuesday
Morning.

By Science Service
Amateur astronomers and other
hight owls will have a good excuse
" staying up after midnight to-
hight to see an eclipse. The moon
is scheduled to enter the shadow
OF the earth, and partially disap-
pear from the sight of the curious
at 2:39 Tuesday morning. At that
time it will assume the dull, cop
pery-red color characteristic of the
eclipsed moon.
At 1925 a. m. the first phase of
the eclipse commences, but for some
time after that will there be notice
able effect. The earth's shadow, ex-
tending out into space on the side
opposite the sun, is divided into two
parts. The inner, and darker, part
is called the umbra. To a person
within it the sun would be COM
pletely covered. Outside this is the
penumbra.
Starts at 1925
in it the imaginary observer
would see part OF the sun. If he
we're near the umbra, he would only
see a little slice of the suns edge,
the farther from the center he was,
the more of the sun would he see.
1t is the penumbra that the
moon enters at 1925. All during
the evening it. will be full. At 1925
it will begin to enter the shadow of
our planet. About an hour later, at
l:24, the moon will begin to enter
the umbra. BY that time the south
east edge of the moon will begin to
darken.
When 7:39 arrives, the moon will
be engulfed. Then it probably will
appear reddish in color, because
some light of the sun is bent around
and into the umbra by the earth's
atmosphere. AS the red light passes
through thick layers of atmosphere
most easily, the eclipsed moon is
apt to be Of coppery-red color.
Leaves Shadow at $3.50
Total phase of the eclipse ends at
:29. Then the moon starts to
merge from the urnbra, and the
northeastern edge of the moon be-
rims to brighten again. BY 5:S3 the
moon completely has emerged from
the inner shadow and appears al
most as bright as ordinarily.
Finally, by 5:38, it will have left
the entire shadow. AS the sun will
be nearly up by that time, the
morning twilight will hamper
astronomical observations. The OBJ
server really might just as well re-
turn to his warm bed after the end
of the total phase.

BURGLARS And
BANDITS Get
$1,000 IN LOOT
Series of RObberieS and
HOIdupS Reported Over
Weekend.

Three hold-ups in which bandits
obtained $3.50 loot, and a series of
robberies and burglaries in which
slightly over $500 loot was taken
made up the weekend crime wive,
police reports showed today.
One Of the hold-upS occurred this
morning, but the bandit, a Negro,
got nothing.
John Sanstrom, GIT Bernard
street, attendant at the Western Oil
Company's filling station at Blake
and Michigan streets, had just en-
tered the station and locked I the
door behind him When the Negro
pointed revelvor at him through
the glass CT the door and ordered.
"Open that door or I'll kill you"
SanStrom opened the door. The
bandit searched Sanstrom and the
safe, without finding any money,
and fled with the safe drawer which
contained only valueless papers and
receipts.
Grocery Is Looted
Police had no trace today of a
pair of bandits who held up Thomas
E. Abbott, proprietor of a grocery
at Tenth and Denny streets Sat
urday night.
Abbott and Frank Walker, 1923
Olive street, clerk, had closed up
and were walking home when the
two masked bandits held them up
They ordered Abbott to hand over
the store receipts he was carrying
and one of the bandits snapped the
trigger of his gun when Abbott
failed to obey quick enough, but it
failed to explode
They fled with the receipts, $500
cash and 5000 in checks. John
