VARIED PROGRAM
IS TO Be OFFERED
Fun And Recreation To
Be Included

Fun, play, rest, and recreation are
as truly a part of the program of
Wesley Summer School of Religious
Education as study and class work.
The old idea of schools with their
irksome schedules of grind, cram
ming, and examinations is past. The
new school of today views the mere
acquisition of knowledge as made
quate. Wesley Summer School IS
concerned with building the Album
dant Life and creating a leadership
capable of developing such lives.
Study, worship, and activity are all
blended together in a pleasing anu
harmonious program.
STUDY at Wesley is more than
reading books and reciting lessons.
It is a process of group thinking
and living where questions are rals-
ed and efforts made to solve them so
that teachers will be able to carry
out practical work in their own
churches. The thirteen courses pre-
viously announced for this school
are designed to help teachers and
leaders with their particular tasks
in their particular churches. An out
standing faculty assures inspiring
guidance rather than routine driV-
ing.
WORSHIP at Wesley will be car
ried on through carefully planned
and guided Chapel services, lake
side and seaside vespers and small
groun gatherings as circumstances
and interests shall determine. Whlle
students are enjoying fruitful fel-
lowships with their instructors they
will not lose any opportunity ot
keeping close to God.
FUN, RECREATION and RESI-
will be a part of the total school
life so that students can enjoy keep
ing close to each other. There Will
be ample opportunity for tennis
swimming, and other outdoor
sports, social evening programs for
fun and inspiration, a school picnic
and beach party, and school ban
quet. -, 49,.
The students who enroll will thus
find many elements of real Vaca-
ton besides getting help and insplr-
alton that will give purpose and zeal
to their work for the year ahead !;
Wesley is a school without an equal
for Del-Mar-Va religious workers
and the days from June % to July 4
spent at the Wesley Collegiate IN
stitute of Dover will be long re-
membered by all who are fortunate
enough to enroll and enjoy them.

the newspaper that discovered
what it was all about.
81 am in the race to the finish, or
until my friends, and l do not mean
political manipulatOrs, advise ME
to quit. l am entirely in the hands
of my friends, making this fight to
show that in Kent county, where we
have not had a Republican Con-
gressman for 90 years, we have our
own interests and demand represen-
tation in Washington. The fact is
that it is most unfair that New
Castle County should have a Sena-
tor, Sussex have Senator and Con-
gressman, leaving Kent county high
and dry without any one in WASH
ington personally interested in KenI
or its people.
81 am a Kent Countian and love
my people and understand their in
terests and needs and with the
capital of our State located in the
center of our county, it appears per-
fectly absured that we cannot have
a Congressman in Washington.
Letters are coming to me daily
urging me to fight for the rights OF
Kent county and stay in the race.
So you see am naturally happy and
pleased over the efforts of the real
friarde of Kent county. who are lny

"A Students Woes
When spring comes on exams draw

When spring comes on exams draw

Reviewing is commenced,
And what's been learned throughout
the term
Is summed up and condensed.
You wish more deeply from the cup
OF knowledge you had drunk;
A chilling fear possesses you
30, what if l should funk"
The night before a final test,
Before you go to bed,
You try to cram the whole years
work
Within your muddled head;
And say, when after midnight you
Stretch out upon your bunk,
81 hone it won't be very hard
l shouldn't like to fiunk!"
Next morning dawns, the hour ar
rives,
You, trembling, take your place.
The questions writ in black and
white
Are staring in your face.
There comes a groan from out your
boots
To where your heart has sunk
"Whoever thought they'd ask us
that?
Oh, mercy, l shall funk"
It's hard to lose your "sweetie" girl,
It's hard to take a dare;
It's hard to act when badly whipped
AS though you didn't care.
It's hard to show, when you are
down,
Your full amount of spunk;
It's hard to fall behind the class
It's hard, in fact, to funk.

BEGIN WORK ON
DOVER HIGHWAY

at the northern entrance to Dover
because the Highway Commission
has planned to eventually widen this
bridge. At the present time during
busy hours of the early evening the
travel across this bridge is extreme
ly heavy and, because of its narrow
ness, quito hazardous.
1t is the hope of the highway au-
thorities that travel may be partly
divided between these two roads
which would make the dangers oil
automobile driving less.
Maintenance of way men of the
Highway Commission are busy just
now cutting out and repairing
stretches of the concrete that has
buckled owing to the heat. Accord
ing to w. w. Mack, this is nothing
unusual during the late spring and
early summer. When there is a spell
of excessive heat and the mercury
reaches 80 or more, those sections of
the highway where the cracks are
not wide enough or frequent enough,
results in the concrete buckling and
breaking for a distance of several
inches.
New stretches of highway being
built are so constructed as to elimi-
nate this buckling by more frequent
cracks.

French Prices and Wages

American tourists are apt to be
surprised at the low prices in the
French provincial towns, even
though the franc has long since
been stabilized and France has
ceased to be the international bar
gain counter it once was. A decent
hotel room costs a dollar, an attrac-
lively served meal of five sueculent
courses including game in season,
IS cents, a fair seat at the local op-
era house IS cents One may buy a
good tailor-made suit for S32, have
a tooth filled for $1.25, pay about
the same price for consultation with
a doctor general practitioner), and
ride in a street car for two cents.
The tip of one cent for a drink at a
bar is gratefully received.
It is hard to see why the Frencn
complain so bitterly about the hlgn
cost of living until one learns how
the rank and file are paid-a skilled
factory worker (male) earns from
Is to 25 cents an hour, a mason 50
cents an hour, part-time maid II

the house SIS a month, a steno-
grapher $S2 a month. Many men,
heads of families, holding resprn-
sible positions would be glad 10 earn

Letter from PenSiOner

entitled to rest in peace and COM
fort.
Letter from PenSiOner
One letter written by a pensioner
residing in Lincoln City, which is a
sample of numerous of those receiv-
ed by Mr.. du Pont, reads as follows:
81 feel that 1 want to express to
you my greatest heartfelt thanks for
the blessing you are, and have been
to me, in making it possible for
Mrs. Walls to take me from the
poorhouse and give me a comfort
able home to live in these last days
of my life.
"It is a horrible thing for a man
to lose all of his people and become
unable to work and be compelled to
live the last days of his life in a
poorhouse with poor food and wear
clothing that looks beggarly and,
when life is past, not even to be re-
spected with a funeral service, but
thrown into an old wooden box and
buried under the sod and glad they
are that there is one less among
their number.
81. am so thankful that Mrs. Walls
brought me to Lincoln, where I am
treated with love and kindness. She
/ got me all the clothes I needed and
l can go to church and enjoy Gods
great blessings. You never can real
ize what a blessing you have been
in my life. The clouds are scattered
| to glorious sunshine. have told
Mrs. Walls that nobody has ever
been so kind to me since my dear
old mother died and told her when
my last hours come, I wanted her
to be with me. 1 am so thankful to
you, Mrs. Walls, and the Lord, that
I can't begin to express my appre-
citation for the blessings 1 have re-
| ceived.
MAY God shower upon you an
equal blessing that you are bestow-
! ing upon hundreds of poor old peo-
pie like me-"
Donor Is Pleased
Those who have talked with Mr..
du Pont upon the subject of the old
age pension plan are well aware
that he does, indeed, derive as much
| pleasure from the knowledge that he
is able to be of assistance to the
needy aged as do those who benefit
by his generosity.
In concluding his interview, Mr..
du Pont expressed his confidence in
the verdict of the 1881 legislature on
the pension plan with the following
| statement:
"We have the people behind this
plan. The clergy are with us as a
unit. My feeling is that Governor
Buck is in sympathy with the plan
and, in fact, all good-thinking, God
fearing people realize that this is an
/ opportunity to discharge their re-
| sponsibity to the old people, who are
entitled until the day they die to a
small portion of the wealth which
they have assisted in creating"

JUDGE MORRIS
RESIGNS FROM
FEDERAL COURT
Popular Jurist Retires On
June 30 and Will Resume
Practice OF Law
TCOntinued from Fra Pagel

TCOHtiHuPd from FHI Fagel
Judge Norris was appointed, most
of the lawyers at the bar, regard
less of their political affiliations
ioined in signing a petition to Pres
ident Wilson urging his appoint
ment. While a Democrat, Juuge
Morris never has taken an active
mart in affairs of his party. How
ever. he has taken an important
mart in every movement for ad-
vancement of the civic welfare, par
ticularly in Americanization WORK
in which he has achieved national
prominence, and in educational ana
citizenship movements.
Judge Morris successor, it is eX-
pected, will be appointed upon rec
ommendation of Senators Hastings
and Townsend and Congressman
Houston to President Hoover. Ihe
new Judge in all probability will be
Republican.
Judge Morris was born near
Greenwood, Delaware, the ancestral
soil on which six generations OF the
Morris family have lived. At the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century,
Daniel Morris made his home on
this land granted to him by the
Colony of Maryland soon after l7OO.
The settlement OF boundary dit1cul-
ties by the running of the Mason
and Dixon line temporarily put the
land in Pennsylvania, while the Ia
ter separation from that state OF the
three lower counties on the Della
ware left it permanently under the
jurisdiction of the first State to Join
the American Union. On April 3,
1873, on the old homestead was born
the great--great-great grandson OF
Daniel MOrris-Hugh Martin NORRIS
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. William w.
Morris.
He entered, at the usual age, the
public schools at Greenwood, where
he remained until his sixteenth year
when he matriculated at Delaware
College, now the University of Della
ware. In 1898, he was awarded by it
the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Thirty years later, on the eleventh
day of June, 1928, the honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Laws was confer
red upon him by his alma mater.
His initiation into the secrets of
law was guided by Willard Sauls-
bury, later United States Senator for
Delaware, and president pro tempore
of the United States Senate, now de-
ceased. He was admitted to the bar
at Wilmington on November %, 1903.
Thereafter, until June Is, 1909, he
conducted an independent practice
in Wilmington.

Somehow we like the fellow who

far more than we do the fellow who

something wrong. Start something!

You will observe that one term is
baIved until the result IS one, all
fractions being discarded. The other
term 67 in this case, is doubled as
many times as the first is halved.
The answer is obtained by adding
only the terms in the second colulan
that are opposite the odd numbers
in the first column. In this case they
are thosh opposite nine and one,
which are 1874 and 1912. And lS4
plus 1912 equals 1906. This method
