JUNIOR RECEIVES
ALETTER FROM
STATION WPG

One of our Juniors was very elat-
ed over a bit of news she received
this last week. AS many of her
friends know Alice Breme seems to
be gifted with an ability to write
poems, essays, etc. She has written
many interesting articles for our
weekly report.
This week Alice received letter
from "The Wandering Poet" of
Station WPG. This man broadcasts
on Sunday evening at ten o'clock
and again Tuesday evening at elev-
en- o'clock. "The Wandering Poet
reads bits of poetry sent to him by
his many admirers.
In his letter to Alice he assures
her that if she wishes she may de-
yelop her talent. Alice considers
writing a hobby now but later she
says she intends to develop it into
her one ambition. Alice has con-
sented to let us publish her own
personal work and we are sure you
will agree that Alice has something
she can be proud of.
CHILDHOOD
(Alice Breme)
My hands are still, my lips are
mute,
But in my brain new tho'ts take
root;
o! In my heart red flames do burn;
My passions stirred just turn and
turn;
And turbulent my blood does flow;
fire with heat does glow.
Inside me is burning flame
Yes, inspiration is its name.
And yet l cannot write nor speak
Mere words-Ah! they are much too
weak!
My soul is like a volcano
A-burning fiercely, and 1 know
1t will erupt some day soon,
And then my lips can sing their
tune.
My hands will move and take the
pen
D! Happy days it will be then,
When all my passion, all my tho'ts
Will like the butterfly, be caught
Then come, Oh day of victory,
And set my thots at liberty
That l may say the things I will
Or else foreVermore be still.

CHURCH AT
MILFORD NECK
ORGANIZED 1870
Other Early Delaware
Churches.

The first church built on Della
ware soil was built by the Swedish
Lutherans at Christiana, in 1888. 1t
has been said of the Swedes that
they were a deeply religious folk
and almost all their interests CEN
tered in the church. The first pastor
was sent by Queen Christiana who
was herself a deeply religious wO-
man. The next church, or il should
be called a meeting house, came
with the Quakers under William
Penn in 1852. The services were
held in private homes until the reg
ular church building was completed
in 1857 and called the Newark meet
ing house.
The next church to be erected in
Delaware was st. Annes Episcopal
Church built in 1904 near Middle
town. Following closely upon the
building of ST. Anne's came the
building of a Presbyterian Church In
New Castle in 1907 and about 1880
another church was organized at
Christiana, and in 1888 the Baptists
built a church in Kent County.
The MethOdists next came to col
onial Delaware. In 1869 Capt
Thomas Webb, called the apostle of
MethOdism in Delaware, preached at
New Castle, and at the home of Mr..
Isaac HOrsey of Christiana. In 1850,
however, the first Methodist Church
was erected near Dover, and called
Barratts Chapel. 1t is now called
the cradle of MethOdism in Delaware
and is the oldest Methodist Church
in the United States. A few Gays
ago | received a letter from Mr.. |
James Webb, Jr., of South Bowers. |
who has been very kind and gave |
me information regarding the Mill |
ford Neck Church, called Sardis, af-
ter one of the seven churches which
are in Asia. The church was or
ganized in November, 1890, about |
ten years after Barratt's Chapel, and
was formed out of part of the men,
bership OF this old church. 1t is the
second oldest Methodist Church in
the State and was remOdeled in
1874 during the pastorate of rev. e.
II. Miller.
This is my last article in cOnnec-
tiOn with historical subjects, and |
wish to thank all of the people who
have so generously given me their
time in interviews, and those who
have sent me information. | also
wish to thank especially Colonel
who has on four occa-
sions let me use his time and also

do something for the girs, but as
yet have not decided just what it
will be.

A New Indoor Sport
Takes School By Storm

Lets plays Guggenheim" are the
words we hear echoing in class
room and corridor of late. And
Whenever two or three are gathered
together in comparative quiet and
what appears to be deep contempla-
tion you may be sure that game Of
Guggenheim is in progress. Even
teachers have been known to un-
bend sufficiently to try to think of
the name of a fish that begins with
"Q!" And joys of joys, occasionally
it has been discovered that those
same teachers don't know every
thing.
You don't know what Guggenheim
is 4? Well ask one of the Seniors; but,
whatever you do, don't play your
first game with Yerkes, for he
claims to be the champion of the

LIFE INSURANCE
IS A SOUND
INVESTMENT
The Principles OF The
Business Explained By
Representative.

Mr.. c. J. HOlzmueller, a special
representative of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of New York, in
an interview Sunday afternoon at
his Lake avenue home, explained
the principles of the insurance bus
mess. His knowledge of this bust
ness is the result of about nine
years experience in writing poll
cies.
Mr.. HOlzmueller says that a great
many people fail to protect their
families and property with insur-
ance because they cannot under
stand how an insurance company
can afford to pay out large amounts
of money when a policyholder dies
or has his property destroyed be-
fore he has paid all of his premiums.
OF course the company could not af-
ford to do this if it had only a few
pOlicyhOlders, but with 100000 or
more on their lists, they can safe
guard the interests of those who
die prematurely by the contribu
tiOns of those who survive.
In general, insurance is q scheme
by means of which large number
of people are banded together for
mutual protection, in order that !
when one of their number suffers Il |
loss, his associates will aid him in |
repairing that loss.
In determining the premium that |
each policyhOlder is to pay the ,
Company depends on the scientific
principle of the Law of Average. BY /
this law the Company can make out
accurate mortality tables, which
tell just how many people will die
at certain ages. With this table it /
is an easy matter to figure out the
premiums. Dangerously low or un-
duly high rates are avoided by MAX
ing allowances for expenses and for
on the investments.
OF course the company always
keep a substantial surplus for time
Of need and also pays dividends

Life insurance differs from other
kinds of insurance in that it is an
Investment that must be paid soon
9r or later. Fires and accidents
nay or may not happen, hut every
nan must die. Life Insurance rem
lers a great many valuable ser
,ices besides it's chief aim of pro-
Getting the families of wage-earners
when their income has been stopped

LAURA LEE

Last Thursday 1 had the pleasure
to interview Miss Laura Lee of the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin staff.
Miss Lee was doing some interview
ing for her paper, and had stopped
in Milford to have some dental
work done.
Miss Lee was born in the State of
Kansas, and attended the public
schools in that State. After gradu-
ating from high school she took a
course in chemistry at the UniVer-
sity of Chicago. After being gradu-
ated from the University Miss Lee
accepted a position in Washington,
D. c., as a government chemist. 1t
was about this time that she was
taken with the wanderlust, and leav-
ing her position in the National
Capitol she travelled to the city of
brotherly love, where she said she
spent the happiest days of her life,
while she was looking for a posi-
tion. 1t was during the Mummer's
parade that the big chance came
for Laura, and dressing up to i'm
personate a member of Byrd's expe-
ditlon she did something no woman
has ever done before or since; she
marched with the shooters and
wrote the story for the Bulletin.
During the parade Miss Lee sprain-
ed her ankle, and she believes that
it was the appeal of damsel in dis
tress, more than her story, that
landed her position on the Bulle-
tin staff. Miss Lee said that her
pet hobby was sleeping. She also de-
clined to tell her age, but of course
that is always a tender subject with
ladies'. 1t was at this time that DR..
Nelson returned, and I bade Miss
Lee good day, but not before she
told me that the best way to become
a writer, is write, and keep right
IN writing, until someone takes no
ice of your efforts. That is her ad-
vice to young journalists.
