Slisa Ruth Swisher, the nurse, says little Woodrow is the best behaved baby she ever Great interest is being manifested by modern farmers in obtaining disabled soldiers who have been retrained by the Federal Board for Vocational Education as "farm mechanics," the new profession evolved by the board and in which many injured soldie now being retrained. "What work is there on a 200-acre farm for a mechanic?" is a common question put to the federal board. The farmer could a fiord to have tractor if he has a man who can keep it tuned up to maximum cthciency. Any one who can Handle a tractor can prescribe for the ordinary ills of a stationary gasoline engine.

A farm with a gasoline engine can have water under pressure if there is a man (available who can AM sin intelligent job of pipe fitting. Such a man ran make the ordinary repairs and adjustments on an automobile. The installation and rare' of a low voltage electric light plant, including the storage battery, is quite within his ability. The upkeep of farm machinery can be attended to between tractor jobs. The life of farm ma-, chinery is short because of lack of care in upkeep.

A man who can repair binders, mowers, haying tools, plows, cultivators and harness can greatly increase the life of farm equipment. Repairs to buildings and the greater part of the building needed on the farm would come within the ability of the farm mechanic. The farmer gets along without much of this kind of help because of the difficulty of obtaining it. Labor is the big problem on a farm. Mechanical equipment makes the farmer practically independent of transient labor and enables him to do away with part of his equipment of teams.

In doing this he not only saves the cost of the team, "harness, barn room and work of caring for them, but he saves their food, or, in other words, he has more acres for income crops.

Local dealers are planning to provide as lavishly for the amusement and entertainment of the visitors to the automobile show as they do for their information as to things new in the automobile world this year. The annual show will be staged in the building, Xo. 700 West Kleventh street (old skating rink), starting on the evening of March 2o, and continuing the remainder of the week. Klaborate entertainment is being arranged, and while complete details have not been worked out, it is now possible to state that an 18-piece orchestra will lie engaged and talented vocalists from Xew York and Philadelphia will be heard. Other announcements along this line will be forthcoming.

There will not be a dull moment any days from the time the show opens at 12 noon until the doors are shut at 10 or 11 o'clock at night. Ihe setting' of the show will be wondrously beautiful. Flags, bunting, electric lights and flood lighting will all be used in an elaborate scheme for decoration, which is being worked out by the committee in charge, and a large amount of money will be spent in making the show hall resplendent with color and light. In preparing for the show the interests of autoists in every section of Delaware is being considered so that the exhibition will make as strong appeal to the man from Sussex as it does to the woman from Xew Castle County. All mediums for procpr advertisement of the show will be considered by the publicity committee, and many of" them will be used.

X'ot long from now, for instance, automobilists may expect to be greeted, whenever their cars' carry them in this city and vicinity, by attractive posters, inviting their attendance the show. At first the committee had planned only to use the main floor of the show building, as there was ample space for -sixty pleasure cars on this floor. But since then there have been so many additional applications for space that the second floor may have to be used, too. This is further indication that the visitors to the show "will eet their money's worth," in the full sense of the phrase. its io oe a real, oig-eity snow, -even though the admission charge is only nominal, 25 cents, including war tax.

Doherty, head of the I'nited States Kmployment Service for the State of Delaware, made this an-gj nouncement yesterday at his 1 offices, i Kleventh and King streets. He declared that the local and State bureaus would remain open as heretofore, and there jj were no indications of them closing in the near future. When asked how the employment ser-j i vice would get sufficient money to cover a I its running expenses, Maior Doherty said Decalogue emphatically savs: "The day thy God." Ex. 20:10.

While this is true, the whole Christian world is found keeping the first day of the week. Is there a command from God that says we ought to keep the first day instead of the seventh? Dr. Binney says: "It ia true that there is no positive command infant baptism nor is there any for keeping holy the first day of the week." M. E. Theological Compendium, p.

There is. no Scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath institution from the seventh to the first day of the week." From an address before a Baptist ministers meeting, Xew York City, reported in the Examiner, Nov. 16, There is a prophecy that there would arise a power that would change the law or think to do so. This question involves one of the commandments of God, and must lie settled by all. However, whatever decision we make we will have to abide in the judgment.

We should' study this question that we may be intelligent in making our decision. God says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I wiH.also forget thy children." 1 rosea The very command of the law that speaks of the Sabbath is the only one that begins with the word "Remember." i 1 I i i rapapiiiEamia SANTA MARIA COONCIL WILL GIVE A SMOKER Local Council of Knights of Columbus Will Entertain This Evening Santa Maria Council, K. of will entertain its members and their friends at a smoker ia Columbus Hall, Tenth and West streets, this evening.

F.

S. Shipping Board Finds Wilmington Most Available i Location on River According to unofficial information received from Washington, this city stands a good chance of securing one of the government dry docks to be located on the Delaware river. While nobody there talk officially, in view of t)e fact that matters have not crystalized sullk-iently, enough has been learned to know that the harbor facilities branch of the Shipping Board, in their efforts to find suitable docking facilities on the Delaware river, are convinced that Wilmington the logical place. A great deal of their information on the subject, it has been learned, has been furnished by the Hoard of Harbor (Sommissioners. The Port and Harbor Facilities Cora-mission of the Shipping Board, it is said, has been worried lor some time about the docking facilities of the Delaware.

There are only three dry docks of any size on the Delaware now, all in Philadelphia. Xone of these will accommodate a really large- ship. The League Island Navy Yard has a large dock, but the navy is using it all the time, virtually, and certainly will be using gt all the tim) when the greater navy program is well advanced. So the naval dock cannot be- counted on for commercial purposes. The three docks in Philadelphia are not large enough for big ships.

The commission first prospected Philadelphia 8 a site for more; docking facilities, but their eyes were turned toward Wilmington by the representations of the ilmington Harbor Commissioners, so the Washington report says, and they have listened favorably to those representations, but so far there has been only talk. The Shipping Board is not, however, likely to put up any money for such projects unless it succeeds in its effort to get a ruling from the attorney general to the effect that it can, spend (or rather advance) money for such purposes. That means that the drydock will have to be built by private enterprise, with the countenance and encouragement of th board. Negotiations to this end are now-pending. The Shipping Board has found that "Philadelphia is not the only town on the Delaware," and that is a distinct point gained.

We are still keeping on with our employment work and there is nothing to indicate, our stopping. Such a matter does not bother us. We are not interested, as it is purely a matter for the Department of Labor to decide."

By summer, however, there will be no lack of jobs open when work upon proposed bridges, roads and other large construction projects are started. "My observation has been that employers and employes in Wilmington are like a large family. This condition prevails throughout Delaware. It helps the work of the employment service to a great extent, for our duty is not merely to procure places for the unemployed, but also to see that the employer gets what he wants and the employe gets the wage and conditions he Inspector Issues Building Permits.
