SWEET P0TATO CL0THES

According to the new Bureau of
Standard Researches, the Billboard
reports, it has just been discovered
that sweet potatoes, the good old
/ garden variety, and other agficlil-
tural crops are just the things to
bring out the sheen, soften the tex
ture and enrich the color of mate
rils used in making mems clothing.
Now the part the lowly sweet pOta-
to will lend to the new fall fabrics
will be starch" But it won't be a
stiff proposition at all This new
sweet potato starch will serve rath-
er as a protective coating or sizing
which will tend to keep the threads
from wearing out or losing their
nap. At the same time it will serve
to enrich the colors of the variotis
fabrics as well as give them soft,
pliable effect.-The Pathfinder.

Two of the largest parties to be
given lately had the same hostess
and occurred the same day. Mrs. c.
DOnnan Holzmueller gave bridge
party on Friday afternoon of last
week in honor of her sister, Mrs.
George M. Sipple. Mrs. Sipple, who
so lately moved to Milford from
North Carolina is an attractive ad-
ditiOn to the social set, having a
pleasing personality and that South
ern way of talking that Northerners
find so facinating. The Sipples have
a small daughter, Harriet Anne, who
with them, is welcomed by all. There
was everything to make the party an
enjoyable one, good weather, lovely
flowers, pleasant friends, delicious
refreshments, nice prizes. What
more could one want?? There were
fourteen tables of guests who played
bridge. The guests from out Of town
were Mrs. John HolstOn and Mrs.
Oliver Lewis, of Wilmington, and
Mrs. Albert Boone, of Frederica.

A UTUMN ACTIVITIES.

Just as the ordinary household
starts out with the things that seem
most necessary, SO the Business
Girls Club started with their new
room in the Masonic Building. The
furniture they now have has been
given by club members but it is
hardly adequate for their needs and
they are asking for help from their
friends. Chairs and tables, and in
fact almost any piece of furniture
can be made so attractive with the
aid of a brush and some paint. They
are not Specifying what kind of
things they want, but any Kind of
help to make their, room more at
tractive, will mean much to them.
This winter the club has chosen
Basketfy for its activity and many
things, artistic and useful, have
been made. JUST remember these
girls when you clean house, and give
them the furniture that you are re-
placing with new pieces.

GREAT ANTI-SALOON
LEAGUE CONVENTION

The annual convention of the
Anti-SaloOn League of Delaware was
held in Wesley M. e. church in
Dover on Monday, October goth.
This was the first convention since
Delaware has had a separate Anti
Saloon League superintendent and
the convention in every way sur
passed the expectations of the lead
ors.
A large number of representative
eOple from all over Delaware were
there, including ministers, their
wives and presidents and workers of
the different Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Unions throughout the state.
One hundred or more sat down to
lunch and a number came to the af
ternoon session.
In the morning the election of Of
licers was held with the result that
Mr.. Roscoe Vining, the present su-
perintendent was unanimously
elected.
A number of stirring speeches
were made and a positive demand
was made for the support of the
Klah Law which according to sta
tistics has worked a distinct benefit
to the state, even showing a mate
rial decrease in the number Of deaths
from pneumonia and typhoid fever.
Mr.. Wilson, the new Federal Ad-
of Prohibition, Ordinar-
lily known as "Three Guns Wilson"
spoke and reported that in series
of raids which included the Demo-
cratic Club of Wilmington, he had
taken several people and quite lit
tie liquor but that the old cry that
great numbers of bootleggers and
speakeasies abounded was proven
false when investigation was made.
There were more prisoners taken
and a bigger bar captured in the
Democratic Club than in any other
speakeasy that was raided.
II was evident that there is a
great awakening along the line of
throughout the state and
that people are getting down to real
work. 1t was clearly pointed out
that in Mr. Bayard's stand for re-
peal of the 18th amendment the re-
turn of the old-time saloon was au-
included as there was no
substitute offered at all.
Reference was made to the new
mo-Republican or Republi-Crat
part recently formed to put across
he wet propaganda.
1t was a very live convention.

HOW TO GET REAL
ENFORCEMENT

No person who does not believe in
prohibition is qualified to hold any
position in the prohibition enforce
ment department. One reason en-
forcement has not been more effec-
tive is that. so many officials charg-
ed with enforcing it do not believe
in prohibition. Major Campbell, who
resigned as prohibition administra-
tor for New York rather than be
transferred to some other district,
has announced he favors repeal OF
the Eighteenth Amendment. A fine
one he was to be entrusted with en-
forcement of that amendment in
place like New York! Get rid of all
the vets who have been holding dry
jobs and there will be some real
prohibition enforcement in this
country.-The Denver Post.

Call for Definition
of Still Small Voice

The case of the woman who has
advertised for the owner of a gold
pin set with small diamonds which
she found % years ago. is described
as one of troubled conscience.
Through a quarter of century the
woman must have been stilling the
small voice within her that was re-
minding her that she was keeping
something which was not hers and
which she was making no effort to
return to it's owner
What is this conscience which
abides with all human beings and
compeIs US to acts which we do not
wish to perform? The dictionary
definition is of no help in answering
the question. THE knowledge of our
own acts and feelings as right or
wrong" explains nothing. The differ
ence between right and wrong is so
often a personal one, and when a
person wishes to justify an act of
his to himself it is generally easy.
Wrong can be made to appear right
to oneself if self-interest is allowed
to become paramount. But despite
the justification, conscience is never
wholly stifled.
1t nags and nags at one and gives
no peace until, like the woman with
the pin, it finally forces what may be
called confession. The cynical Tai
leyrand said that to be happy man
should have a good digestion and no
conscience. Possibly, but if it is so,
practically no one is truly happy.
Conscience may undoubtedly be fos-
tered and what troubles one genera
ton may not trouble another. But
conscience is a fixed part of our
selves, something which is born with
us. 1t is of the moral order of the
universe, a monitor implanted within
us by a Supreme Power.-Philadel-
phia Bulletin.

Triumph Over Paralysis
Claimed by Physician

General paralysis may be detected
in its incipient state, making COM
plete cure possible, by a test just
revealed and demonstrated by DR..
K. o. Newman, pathologist of the
Oxford County and City Mental hos
pital, in England. He claims to have
devised a bIood-test. which would do
away with the present process of re-
moving spinal fluid from patients by
a minor surgical operation, often
painful and troublesome. The blood
test would give an opportunity to
apply treatment at stage when pre-
vention is possible, declares Doctor
Newman. 1t is believed a cure
might be effected by an early system
Of artificial incubation with mala-
rial fever.

Writer Would Go Limit
in State Authorizations
1.-THE END.l

The abbreviation used for Ohio is
"0." Apparently Oklahoma and Ore
gon do not object. But there are six
states whose names begin with letters
which are not the first letters of the
names of any of the other states.
These states are: Delaware. Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and
Utah. Why not use D, f, G, L, P and
U for the authorizations in those cases?
Also, West Virginia is the only West"
state. So why not simply use wv. W
instead of the usual "W. Va? The
only reason for authorizations in the
first place is the desire to save time
and space. Then why not save all the
time and space possible, or else use
the full name? Why fuss with PA"
and "Penn." and "Penna.' when "P."
would fill the bill?-Worcester Tele-
