room. The miniature bath tub is
about half as big as the ones in our
homes, yet it will serve the pur-
pose. The two doors that open into
this room have long glass mirrors
on them so that one may look nice
even on boat. The bedroom in the
| hack of the cabin is the largest of
the three having two hunks in it,
one of which can be opened into a
double bed. 1t contains two closets
and several drawers under each
bunk. Although everything is small
there is no lack of room. There is
no convenience one can think of
that it doesn't have. The wood work
is mahogany and is as smooth and
shiny as glass. Everything is in
perfect order and meat as a pin"
spelling comfort to the nth degree.
The largest boat costs $27, 800, the
next size $23,500, and the smallest
$19,500, but that includes all the
furnishings, chairs, dishes, silver
and all. OF course, these cruisers are
luxuries and when times are hard
not many people can have them, yet
they are beautiful, proud-looking,
and sea-worthy. They can be used
to sail on rivers or even on short
ocean cruises and Captain Vinyard
says even girl can steer one.
The advertising is done in the
magazine called "Motor-Boating and
certainly people all over the United
States must have been pleased with
them, for they have been sold in
many places including South Amer
lea.

BARRATT'S CHAPEL
ANNIVERSARY
BY Roscoe Campbell

By Roscoe Campbell
It is dear old Barratt's Chapel
We are thinking of today,
Where a multitude of people
Soon will travel on their way.
There is something in the glory
OF that old historic shrine
That will set our hearts to singing
With note that is divine.
It's the place where Methodism
In its infancy began;
In the cradle of its childhood
Rocked by an Almighty hand.
Where two preachers, sent by Wes-
ley,
Met and organized a church,
Then went out with earnest passion
For the souls of men to search.
Since that day this sanctuary
Has proclaimed the message clear
That John Wesley and his preach
ers
Were resounding far and near.
And its doors are ever open;
You may always come and dine
At the table of the Master
In this dear old sacred shrine.
Every year we have a program,
When September comes around,
That includes the best of preach
ing
And of song that can be found.
Many thousand folks will gather
On next Sunday afternoon
To enjoy day that passes
All, yes, passes all tco soon.
Reverend T. J. Sard of Crisfield
Will the gospel message bring,
And the best of sacred music
Through the balmy air will ring.
Doctor Weigle from the Southland
Is expected to be there.
C. 1. Carpenter, the pastor,
OF Rehoboth, you will hear.
If you're in the congregation
You will happy be and glad,
For we're planning now service
Better than we've ever had.

and the red light on the port. In
back of the cabin is the cockpit
where the seasick guests would
probably spend a good bit of their
time. Just above we find the fog
bell, the devitts for stringing boat
overheard, the tank for liquid gas,
and the boarding ladder Down in
the cockpit one sees that there is
every convenience. On all sides are
curtains which in bad weather may
be rolled down; there is even a lit
tie table on which drinks may be
served and behind the cushions
where one sits is the towing bit. On
the starboard side is a gate, and on
the port side there are places
where the ladder may be made Sc
cure and a gate, too. Under the
cockpit is where the gas tanks are.
After seeing everything else we
are taken into the cabin where the
best surprise of all awaits. To look
at the cabin from the outside one
would not think that there was so
much room in it. Every inch of
space almost is utilized and the re-
suit is very cozy. First of all in
the very front is the collision buck
head, which in case of head-on col
lision would keep the water from
rushing in. Next comes the crews
quarters in which there are three
hunks and also tiny bathroom. Af-
ter that is the galley or, as the re-
porter made the mistake of calling
it, the kitchen. In here there is a
little sink with drain board on each
side and hot and cold water spig-
ot. The former is heated by bottled

The boats of Captain w. S. Vim
yard, strong, beautiful, and neat,
can be found in Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Maryland, Toledo, st.
Louis, Galveston, and even Buenos
Aires. After one has seen these
lovely creations that statement is
not to be wondered at, for certain
ly a better vessel isn't made. Cap
tain Vinyard builds them in three
sizes, forty-siX feet, fifty feet, and
fifty-five feet, length over all. The
beam or width is always twelve feet
six inches. The keel or foundation
is made of Delaware white oak, and
ell other vital parts such as the
frames and floor-boards are also
made of this strong wood. Each
boat has two propellers, or as the
captain said twin screws. The rud-
der, street and a few other little
parts are made of bronze which he
says is nearly as strong as steel
and will never rust. Tile whole
outer and under side is painted
green to the water line where the
white begins. It is trimmed with
several little designs in gold.
Up on top of the vessel in the
front is y windlass run by electric
ity which Of course lifts and drops
the anchor. On the forty-siX and
fifty foot boats they are not cleo
trio, only the largest has this con-
venience. The cleats are nickle-sil-
yer, so they cannot wear off. There
are four lights required by law--the
masthead light, the bow light, the
green light on the starboard side

Come on, you fellows, hurry up,
maybe we get a touchdown" said
one of the halfbacks on the George
town University team. This team
was training near RehobOth, close
to the flying field.
The Milford High School football
team last Friday under Coach Eli
oft had gone to watch this team and
for the fellows to get some hints on
the game. The University men were
all built to play football. They were
big and strong, looked like giants.
After these players had finished
their tackling practice, the dummy
which they used was practically

worthless. When they started it
was as hard as a bag of cement, now
you might think it was Il bag Of
feathers. When the fellows started
their scrimmaging they were told to
cover certain men and those fellows
were put out of the plays. The
players didn't have football suits on,
but this didn't seem to make any
difference. All this training was
under the very efficient Coach Mills.
After the Milford team had seen
this exhibition of football, we hope
that it gave them a new inspiration
and a higher standard to work for.

UNIQUE WORK IN
CTVICS CLASSES
Pupils Being Taught To
Read Papers Intelligently

Mr.. Boston's civics class is at
present studying how to write good
newspaper articles. First of all he
gave them this definition of news:
News is anything. of interest to
anybody and morally fit to publish"
The next thing was the difference
between "spot" news and feature"
news.
The first real work was to write
a newspaper story from a given
list of facts. The next thing was
to interview some one and write 4
story from that and last Of all to
write an editorial. Two OF the in
terviews with freshmen are printed

J. 5. Warmbath, Expedition Sur
vivor, Speaks in Mckinley

One of the NEST realistic productions
Of Arctic life and the heroic exploits
Of Admiral Peary was presented last

School Auditorium under the auspices
of the Club of Thirteen of the Inter-
national Correspondence Schools.
Mr.. Warmbath, one of the few sur
vivors of the Admiral Peary Expedition,
depicted life as an Eskimo and illus
trated with slides the conditions exist
at the time Of the expedition. Using
an unusual stage display as a typical
Northern scene, Mr.. Warmbaths as
sistant, Roman Garcia, an Eskimo,
demonstrated the methods Of hunting.
The display consisted OF such articles
~ stuffed dogs, birds. musk oxen, rab-
bits and utensils, along with a huge
stuffed specimen of a Polar bear.
Following the lecture, vocal selections
were presented by Signor Romeo Guar
adj and Edwin Steffe, accompanied by
Signor Guaraldi. The selections were
received by the audience with great en-
thusiasm Miss Lillian Keister and
Miss Christine Thackara were hostesses

Miss Bankhead joins the ranks
of the screen ladies whose future is
