 From Shuyak Island in fair weather, Kodiakers crossed in their bidarahs to Kenai Bay and attempt ed to ambush the enemy, while they slept; adults and old men were killed outright; handsome wives and fair maidens were made prisoners and carried away, while the younger children were left with old women; and all necessary plunder was carried back to Kodiak.

Pottery in ancient Greece was designed first
of all for utility Gradually refinements were in
troduced which made Grecian pottery famous for
its exquisite beauty of design.
The evolution of all household utensils has
been the same. First for utilty-then for beauty.
The modern gas range shows this same develop
ment.
Not only have Oven Insulation and Heat
Control given the modern gas range superior
cooking performance, but full enameling in
delicate pastel shades has made the modern gas
range thing of beauty.
The new Green and Ivory Insulated Oriole
with Heat Control (Model 96O) illustrates the
modern trend in gas ranges. In addition there are
many small refinements to enable the modern
housewife to keep her range looking as spotless
and beautiful as the day it was bought. Some
of these include concealed manifold, smokeless
broler with removable rounded bottom, and full
enamel inside and out
The delicately colored Insulated Oriole (N1odel
960) represents the finest in design of modern gas
ranges. Regularly priced at $40, it can now be
bought for $l25, counting an allowance for your
old range-a reduction of $45.

$4,000 FARM FIRE SEAFORD
Seven Cows and Two Horses Burn
ed on Farm of C. L. Christopher


Damages estimated at $4,000
were caused Saturday night when
the home and a large barn on the
farm of c. L. Christopher, near
Seaford, were destroyed by fire.
Seven cows and two horses in the
barn were burned to death. Mr..
and Mrs. Christopher and their
daughter were attending a theatre
performance at Seaford at the
time of the fire, and the blaze was
discovered by Orles Orendorf, a
farm hand. He turned in an alarm
to the fire companies at Bridgeville
and Greenwood, but by the time
they arrived the barn had been de-
stroyed and the flames had spread
through many parts of the house.
A small quantity of the furniture
was saved by the firemen, but the
house was destroyed. In addition
to the cattle and horses, farm ma
chinery and several hundred bush
els of feed were kept in the barn.
The origin of the fire, which start
ed in the barn, is unknown. A
heavy wind famed the flames to-
ward another building, but it was
saved by the firemen.

STATE HIGHWAY TO WIDEN
BOULEVARD THRU CLAYNONT
UNION PAVING COMPANY OF
PHILADELPHIA GETS JOB
Talk Over Plans For Building
Boulevard Side Walks Near VIII
mington to Help Unemployed

The contract for widening a por-
ton of the dupont Boulevard
through Claymont, distance of
"a mile, was yesterday awarded
by the State Highway Commission
to the Union Paving Company, of
Philadelphia, at bid of S29, 800.
Other bidders were George &
Lynch, Dover, S31, 800, and D. E.
O'Connell & Sons, Ridley Park,
S33, 700. Governor c. D. Buck sent
telegram that he would be un-
able to be present and action on
plans for aiding in unemployment
relief were not discussed at the
meeting, except to mention the
sidewalks which it is proposed to
lay in the vicinity of Wilmington.
It was however, agreed to ascer-
tain the cost of laying number
of sidewalks along State highways
employing men with pick and
shovels to do the grading, instead
of using machinery. The places
where sidewalks are being consid-
cred are from Farnhurst to Will
mington along the dupont Boule-
ward: from Rose Hill school to
Wilmington, along the road to
New Castle, Wilmington to Shell
pot Park and along the Basin
Road to New Castle from point
near Farnhurst. If the estimates
made, after careful consideration,
are not prohibitive as to cost, It
is probable that similar work will
be done in other places. If the
plan under consideration is adopt
ed the only machinery used would
be trucks to haul the dirt from one
4 place to another during the grad
ing, and mechanical mixers for
the cement. The work mapped out
would give work to about 100 men
for a considerable time if the plan
is adopted. This is the first time
that this method of doing work
has been considered. In addition to
giving work to unemployed men,
; the laying of these sidewalks
, would also be a safety movement.
!; There have been numerous accl-
, dents to pedestrians walking along
, these roads and the construction
/ of sidewalks would make walking
along the roads safe for pedestri-
ans. Owners of trucks have been
asked for estimates for hauling, it
is understood. and the highway en-
gineers will figure out the cost of
, the remainder of the work. As
, soon as these figures are complet-
ed a decision will be reached and
| if is likely that the sidewalks viii
, be constructed with the aid Of as
, little machinery as possible.

RECAPTURE NINE PRISONERS
Five of Fourteen Who Broke Work
House For Freedom, Still at Large

Of the fourteen prisoners who
escaped from the New Castle
County Workhouse on Friday
morning by blasting door and
holding up and taking keys from
guard, nine have been captured
and returned to the institution.
The last of the nine captured, IS
E. Irving Biddle, whose desire for
food proved greater than his
chance of illegal freedom. Biddle
was captured in the shack along
Creek Road, between Yorklyn and
Hockessin, Saturday night, where
he had gone for something to eat.
Hiding in the woods since the
break last Friday morning, Biddle
had been without food and was
suffering from hunger. Unable to
withstand the need of food any
longer, Biddle, his clothing torn to
shreds and suffering from wound
in his left leg, went TO Chandler S
shack. He asked the negro for
fOOQ, ana ne WdS AAf4ICO hSO 1AAS
shack. While Chandler was pre-
pairing food for the fugitive, VIII
liam Tillman, who lives with
Chandler, slipped out the back
door and ran to the garage OF
Harry Gilston, half a mile away,
and told him of the suspicious OF
the visitor. Gilston Immediately
'phoned the Workhouse, and War
den Elmer ]. Leach, Deputy War
den Richard Baldwin and William
Ware, a guard hurried to the
Chandler shack and arrived just
as Biddle had finished his meal.
Engaging the fugitive in conversa-
ton, Chandler had prolonged his
stap and his recapture was effect
ed. Unarmed, Biddle surrendered
without a struggle. Biddle, whose
home was at Blackbird, was serv-
ing a sentence of 25 years for
highway robbery. He was arrest
ed with Steve Jankovicz, another
of the captured prisoners, for as
saulting and robbing Ralph Mus
tard, a garage man of Wilmington.
