farmers depending on dirt
roads missed mail for this

improved roads possessed
more motor trucks than those

HARRINGTON STORE LOOTEI
Thieves Make Away With 16 Suits
Stolen From Smith g. Raughley

During an investigation of a
clothing store robbery in Harring-
ton early yesterday in which 16
suits of clothes, seven suits of un-
derwear valued at $500 and 81 in
cash were taken, Harrington mer-
chants learned that the town has
no police protection after mid
night each night. The robbery at
the store of Smith and Raughley
was discovered at Z A. NJ, when
the place was opened for business.
Entrance was gained by removing
strip of moulding and piece of
glass from the front door Tracks
made by tires on a driveway at
the rear of the store indicated that
the thieves must have u~ed a
truck or an automobile to remove
the loot. A suit case, racked with
merchandise, was also found in
the ransacked store and it is be-
lieved the robbers left The place so
hurriedly that they overlooked it.
The store was closed at 8 Tuesday
night but at midnight, Ernest
Raughley, part owner, who had
been attending meeting nearby,
stopped at the place on his way
home. The robbery evidently was
committed between midnight and
z A. M. but residents whose homes
border the driveway in the rear
said that they were not disturbed
by the noise of an automobile dur
ing the night.

ing Letter to Cousin, j. S. Collins
John S. Collins of Dover, former
cashier of the First National Bank
of Dover, has received a letter
from his cousin, Miss Sue l.. Foun-
tain, daughter of the late William
G. Fountain for many years pro-
prietor of the old Capitol Hotel of
Dover, who is now in Honolulu and
has been for several years engaged
in literary work. Miss Fountain
has been in Honolulu for six years
and has only been back to the
States once in that time. In speak
ing of the religious sects in Hawaii
she states that there are quite
number, including Christian Scien-
fists, Thesophists, Mormons. Ro-
man and Anglican Catholics, be-
sides all the Oriental cults and de-
nominations and all the Christian
divisions, with all happy in their
particular creed. The nationali-
ties represented include, japanese,
Chinese, Koreans, Filipions, lPortu-
guese, Hawaiians, besides the
"Haloe" which is the Hawaiian
name for white people, Americans,
English, Scotch, French and Ger
man. The vast sugar and pineap-
pie plantations furnish employ
ment for the first group and the
latter are engaged in various pro-
fessions and business. Miss Foun-
tain speaks of Honolulu as a most
beautiful place in which to live
and that many of the white popu-
lation are interested in writing.
She is a literary adviser to many
of such people. Miss Fountain
who has travelled all over the
world, also states that she still has
some longings for back home,
and for England, where she spent
several years.

Some of the friends of Ad-
miral Byrd might feel a little
more comfortable, if he would
give up his adventures in the
most remote and dangerous
sections of the earth, and set
tie down to ordinary hum
drum life. But already this
famous explorer is reported
to be preparing some new adj
venture to the dark corners of
the earth. Nothing common
place or ordinary will suit the
man who has visited both
North and South poles, and
has flown across the stormy
Atlantic. He will not be
planted down in any office
chair. Commenting on this
the Milford Chronicle says: /:
"It is a fine thing that in this
day when romance is Suppos-
ed to be dead, we still have a
lot of people who are willing
to take some chances. Their
friends may find it difficult to
repress their anxiety, but
these people confer untold
benefits on the human race.
"The spirit Of adventure is
not limited to a few of these
heroes of exploration. 1t has
a lways been manifested
among a lot of folks, in a mild
way Of course, yet they per-
sist in doing things that seem
uncertain and hazardous.
Some manifestations Of it
are not helpful. The boys
who start out to fight Indians
or hunt bears, and who run
away from home hoping to
penetrate to such a scene of
delightful adventure, do not
accomplish much for them
selves. They need a different
kind of adventure, and life
will give them plenty of
chance for it, if they stick to
their work now.
''The form of adventure
spirit most common now in
some Delaware towns is seen
in the young men who thin
they could do great deal bet
ter if they went off to some
remote place in hopes of MAX
ing money. Ordinarily they
come home as poor as they
went away. A genuine outlet
for the spirit of adventure
can be found not far from
home by anyone who seeks it.
1t is found in the spirit that
give up the immediate chance
to make money, and goes in
for new discovery and
achievement in the fields of
science and business and hu-
man service"

Although the attendance at
many of the churches seems
discouragingly small to those
who are interested, a survey
recently made indicates that
church membership has in
creased in the same proper
tion as population. This de-
duction is drawn from an an
alysis of data officially gath
cred and tabulated by the
government for the 1926 cen
sus of religious bodies, a sum-
mary of which is soon to be
published. This survey re-
veals, also, a higher rate of
church membership in the
cities than in the rural dis
tricts, notwithstanding a ma
tural opinion to the contrary.
"The figures show, COM
ments the Every Evening,
"that out of every 10 persons
over 13 years Of age in the
United States there are SIS
church members, just as
there were ten and 20 years
ago. Only 81 per cent of the
rural inhabitants belong to
church as compared with So
per cent of the people living
in the cities. These calcula-
tions, based on the gUvern-
ment figures, are made public
by the Institute of Social and
Religious Research, which
has its headquarters in New
York City. The statement
upsets commonly-held opin-
ions regarding the status of
the church.
lone Of the most arresting
discoveries made by the study
of the data is that so large a
proportion of ministers have
had little or no academic
training. More than three
eighthS of the ministers of
the 18 largest white denomi-
nations and more than three
fourths of the ministers of
the three leading negro bod
les are not graduates Of eth
er college or seminary.
According to DR.. G. Luth-
er Fry, who prepared this an
alysis of the government fig
ures, at least 62 of every 100
adult church members belong
to a Protestant church, while
80 are Roman Catholics and
six are Jews. Women pre-
dominate in church member
ship. Sixty-three per cent Of
the females over 10 years OF
age are enrolled, as against 48
per cent of the males.
Notwithstanding the fav-
orable showing as to member
ship, it is stated that the
number Of churches has been
decreasing. In 1906 there
was a church for every 270
inhabitants over 13 years of
age; in 1916 there was one
for every 300 and in 1926 one
for every 334. Church ex-
penditures, which represented
$3.50 per adult member in
1916, amounted to $18.44 in
1926.
