the Herald editor asked D. B.

Knutson, who is now in Norway

CENTURY OF BASEBALL

Produced in celebration of the
games centennial, First Century
of Baseball" +" the Official American
League sound film for 1889, will
be exhibited III Smyrna at the
John Bassett Moore Auditorium
Tuesday, February 28. Announce
ment Of the special showing was
made to-day by Prof. Francis Geb-
hart, Coach of the baseball team,
under whose auspices the pictorial
history Of the national pastime
will be presented. Based upon the
findings of the Mills commission,
First Century Of Baseball traces
the course Of the game from its
rudimentary forms to the present
highly developed type Of play
found in the major leagues.
The story proper starts with the
creation Of a set of rules by Abb
ner Doubleday in 1889 for the then
popular town ball, which estab-
lished the fundamental principles
of baseball as it is known today.
Improvements suggested by Alex
ander j. Cartwright, such as limit
ing the game to nine innings and
extending the distance between
bases to the present 90 feet, as

It is much easier 10 accustom
the baby to cod liver Oil gradually,
a few drops at a time, than to in
sist upon the full dosage with the
first attempt. At the first feeding
a few drops should be placed on
the back of the tongue where it
can be swallowed more easily
than it can be refused. A baby
instinctively rejects new tastes,
but with patience and understand
ing he will learn to like the diff

ed.
There is considerable evidence
that Vitamin d supplements
throughout the entire period of
growth would be advantageous,
particularly in promoting sound
bone development and good teeth.
Certainly throughout growth we
need to continue to supply the col
cium and phosphorus necessary for
good bone development One quart
of milk day will supply this min
eral requirement. In adult life we
can prevent mineral losses and re-
sulting degeneration if we supply
the minerals necessary for mainten-
ance and replacement. A pint of
milk will supply this normally
lower adult requirement.
Furnishing the right material for
good bones will prevent bow-legs
and knock-knees and reduce our
crippling. With well formed chests
we would have a greater resist
ance to tuberculosis. With well
formed pelves we would make
childbirth easier and safer. AS
a people we must prefer the true
economy of good bone building to

HOTEL RICHARDSON GOSSIP
Razing of Hotel Richardson Denied
Following Report 1t Was to
Be Torn Down

Considerable interest was arous-
ed at Dover last week through the
published announcement that some
New York men were supposedly
seeking estimates on having the
Hotel Richardson demolished and
the probability of a new hotel be-
ing erected there Mr.. Bremna,
the owner and manager of the ho-
tel, when interviewed on the mat
ter, expressed himself as being
quite angry over the announce
ment and stated that he absolutely
knew nothing about it nor had any
plans for such action. City offic-
ials, who were interviewed on the
matter, seemed to be as complete
ly in the dark as was Mr.. Bremna
as none of them had been ap-
preached concerning permits for
such an operatin. The report was
that contractors at Dover, so re-
port goes. have been approached by
representative of New York in
terests" and asked to prepare es-
Inmates on demolition of the Hotel
Richardson, Dover's fine old hostel
ry, corner of State and King
streets. It was reported the rep
resentative" was to go to Dover
yesterday to receive the estimates.
Rumors have been current some
time that new hotel structure
would be erected. However, Meth
er the hotel management or those
mentioned in the negotiation rum
ors would comment on the reports

structed in 1882 by Alden B. Rich

FOR
HOTEL IN DOVER
Much Discussed Civic Project
Promising After Survey by
Chamber of Commerce
BANQUET HALL IN PLAN

Prospects for erection Of a new
hotel in Dover continue to be very
god, according to a survey made
by officials of the Dover Chamber
of Commerce. The new hotel has
been one of the most discussed
civic projects for period Of
weeks. Officials of the Chamber Of
Commerce reveal that several con
ferences have been held on the
matter with interested persons
and that other conferences are
scheduled for the near future
There has already been received
an offer from an experienced hotel
man, who is very familiar with the
conditions on the Delaware PENN
sula, to operate the hotel after It
is erected. This man would also
become one of the investors in the
project. According to the contem-
plated plans the proposed hotel
would be of sufficient size to care
for the needs of Dover and would
be constructed along modern lines.
A banquet hall to provide for civic
and community needs is included
in the plans. Persons interested
in the hotel project have been ar-
praised of the conflicting tales
that are in existence concerning
the structure but last week they
indicated emphatically that plans
leading to procuring this much de-
sired civic need are moving as
rapidly as can be expected.

HALL OF RECORDS BUILDING
State Archives Department Has
Started Transfer of Papers


Work of transferring the histor-
ical records and exhibits Of the
Archives Department from the old
State House to the new Hall Of
Records building, was started last
week. Because of the extreme
lare needed in handling some of
these items it is expected that a
number of days will be required to
complete this transfer which is be-
ing made under the direction of
Leon DeVaiinger, Assistant State
ArChivist. The historical exhibits
will be housed in the western sec
ton Of the main floor Of the new
building and the entrance to the
exhibit will face on North street,
Dover. No date has been set thus
far for the transfer OF the Corpo-
ration Department Of the Secre-
tary Of States Office to the new
building but it is expected that
this move Will take place follow
ing the completion Of the transfer
Of the Archives Department At
ter the Archives Department is
settled in the new quarters it is
expected that the historical dis
play will be much larger than the
one maintained heretofore and
many ancient Delaware records
will be on display for the first
time. Following completion of re-
moval of the Archives Depart
ment, several other State Depart
ments will be given new locations
in the old State House.
