UNIVERSITY OF ID Il l. A w A r. II
FOREIGN STUDY GROUP

Forty-two students on Saturday
sailed from New York for France on
the French liner Lafayette, for
year of study in that country under
the University of Delaware Foreign
Study Plan. The AZ are from "a
different colleges and universities.
Under the Delaware plan, which:
was started about 10 years ago by
The University OF. Delaware, students
who have finished two years in their
respective colleges or universities
and qualify for the trip are eligible
co go to France for the year of study,
paying their own expenses, except in
cases where scholarships are award
ed. If their work in France is salts
factory they are given credit for that
year in their home college and on re-
turning the following year reenter
their home college as seniors.
In recent years the extra cost for
the year abroad has reduced the
number of students who take the
trip and that has been especially
true as to Delaware students.

CARNIVAL FEATURE NOT ON
PROGRAM

A feature of the Oxford Fire Com
pany carnival not on the program
the closing night, Saturday, was an
old-time knock down and drag out
fight, of a type frequent in pre-pro-
hibition days, and again beginning to
reappear in these repeal times with
so called "taverns" on every hand,
where stimulating liquid refreshment
may so easily be had
There have been so many different
reports going the rounds concerning
the Oxford fracas that it has been
difficult to obtain reliable informa-
ton.
Report is that fight started in
the jam on the crowded carnival
grounds, between a colored man and
a white man, and that in the general
mixup woman was accidentally
struck by the negro. Then fury
broke loose, and the crowd fell upon
the negro, almost tearing him limb
from limb. Report has it that the
colored man was so badly beaten up
by the Infatuated crowd, before be-
ing rescued by officers of the law,
that he died of his injuries.

STRA TACK AND BARN
BURNED

Fire Saturday afternoon destroyed
strawstack and small barn on the
premises of the Turner & Wescot+
Creamery Company, at Glen Roy, Pa.
The Community Fire Company, of
this town, received call about two
o'clock Saturday afternoon, from the
Oxford, Pa, fire company, stating
there was straw stack on fire at
Glen Roy, and that their pumper had
broken down enroute to the blaze,
and asked assistance from Rising
Sun. Our firemen responded prompt
ly with pumper and were soon on
the scene. The close proximity of a
dwelling and the Creamery Company
plant 10 the blaze, made the fire a
dangerous one.
The blazing straw soon set fire to
the small barn, within few feet of
it, and it was impossible to save the
building. With the Rising Sun en-
CINE pumping from nearby hydrant,
and the Oxford firemen using their
chemical truck, the firemen were
able to prevent spread of the flames
to other buildings, after hard fight.
The straw-stack, barn and contents
were totally destroyed. The loss
placed at about $4,000, is covered
by insurance.
