SOROSIS REVIEWS WORK IN FIRST 3IEETING OF SEASON The winter's activities of Sorosis were discussed at the first meeting of the society for the season, held in the club rooms on Third street Thursday night, and which was one of the most largely attended meetings held in many months. The enthusiasm entering into ' the discussions of the various subjects was very gratifying to the officers of the society. The meeting was presided over by the president. Mrs. J. M. Solky. There were many old matters brought up for transaction, which with new business in order, gave the new of ficers plenty of work to keep them busy. But they entered upon their duties with the enthusiasm that is so ' characteristic of the members of - this society. In reviewing the work of the The next time you buy calomel ask for alotabs The purified calomel tab lets that are entirely free of all sickening and sali vating effects. Medicuul virtues .vastly improved. Gavuteed fcy your druggist. SoM A V' PERSONAL post it was found that much had been accomplished, but in looking into the future it was seen that- there is much that may yet be accomplished. In the past Sorosis launched many new enterprising movements, among them being the milk station, which is under the direction of Mesdames Rice and Sidbury. The work and the re sults " which have made themselves very prominent, are of such a charac ter as to cause every woman in the club to .look to them with pride. Comparing the first year's work with that o fthe twelve months just ended, it may be seen that the undertakings of Sorosis are no longer in the ex perimental stage. Then, too, there is the Travelers' Aid. From the begin ning, under the capable leadership of Mrs. E. M. Gregg, and her co-workers, this department has been a complete success. For several years they have devoted much time and energy to this work. And their hard work, patient waiting and hoping, has now been re warded by having the way opened for accomplishing a much greater and more far reaching purpose. Seeing the importance, from more than one standpoint, of early Christ mas shopping, the club has endorsed the "shop early" slogan and urging others to do likewise. The club will also urge that the terms of the slogan be carried out to the letter. The Sorosis is the first civic organization of the city to start a movement to have, the people shop early. During the work of .relieving suf fering in the influenza epidemic, mem bers pf the society were actively en gaged and did much good, also Sorosis has been active in war work, always doing what it could for the comfort of soldiers and sailors and to aid the government generally. It has been decided to abandon many of the departments during the war, but this is only done that increased efforts may be given the work in more es sential, linens. The literature depart ment, under Mrs. J. O. Carr, is plan ning many interesing features, includ ed among them being lectures on topics of current interest. . The subjects in clude: "The Historical Back Ground of the War," "The Women pf the War," and "The Literature of the War." Under the leadership of Mrs. Grady, the music department is planning to study American music and composers, while there has. been no prografli an nounced by the civic department which is in charge of Mrs. Ruark. With all the offices filled and the "New Year Books" soon to come from the press, the outlook is good for the 1918-1919 work. DR. TH02IAS B. CARROLL DEAD AT CAMP BRAGG Passed Array Suddenly Yesterday Af ternoon Body to Arrive Today. News was received here yesterday afternoon of the death at Camp Bragg, Fayetteville, of Dr. Thomas B. Car roll, a Wilmingtonian, who recently volunteered for service as a veterina rian in the United States army. There were no particulars given concerning his death, except that he died sudden ly at Camp Bragg. The telegram an nouncing his death was filed at 3:45 yesterday afternoon and it is presum ed that he died just a short time prior. Dr. Carroll, until about four months ago, had lived in Wilmington continu ously all his life and since completing his course as a veterinarian he had practiced his profession in this city. He had been connecte'd with the local health department in the capacity of meat and milk inspector for the past ten years. He resigned this position about four months ago to enter the military service. He was sent to Camp Greenleaf and commissioned lieutenant. Ten days ago he was transferred to Camp Bragg, going there to take command of the veterin ary department and a commission of captain had been issued for him but he had not received it at the time of his death. He did an excellent work while con nected with the health department, which suffered a heavy loss when he severed his connections with it. He was known to practically everybody in the, city and was held in highest esteem by all. The shocking news of his death brought keen grief to a host of warm friends. Surviving Dr. Carroll, who was about 50 years of age, are his wife, who before imarriage was Miss Annie L. Ragan, of Rochester, N. Y., and one daughter, Helen; he is also survived by two brothers, William B. Carroll, of this city, anu Daniel M. Carroll, of Fort Caswell, and one sister, Mrs. John H. Niggel, 411 North Fifth street. No arrangements for the funeral have been made. The body will ar rive in the city today, however, and the funeral will be held tomorrow. CHARGED WITH LARCENY Three Boys are Involved In the Alleged Theft of a Bicycle. James DeBois, a small colored boy, was placed under arrest yesterday, charged with stealing S. H. Blakes' bicycle. The wheel had been reported lost, and when' DeBois carried it to a bicycle shop to have repairs made, it was recognized and the boy's arrest ef fected. At police headquarters the boy said that he bought the wheel from Deams Lamb, also colored. Then the Lamb boy was interviewed and he acknowl edged selling the wheel, but said he bought it from Leon Williams, a white boy about 10 years o fage. The stories of both the colored boys turned out to be true but the "Williams boy denied stealing the wheel, stating that he found it on the street and was just riding in when the Lamb boy wanted to know if he want to sell. it. He acknowledged, however, that he ac cepted a dollar from the boy and de livered the wheel to him. A MOMENTOUS DAY. November Tenth Had Double Signifi cance For Many Wilminsrtonians. With big doings on the news horizon yesterday and the Kaiser's retreat to Holland after his abdication, Novem ber 10 took on a new significance for many Wilinington people.

(Designs very special.) IDIOT IN CASWELL SCHOOL SCALDS CHILD TO DEATH While Attendant Was Out an Inmate Fatally Burns Girl. (Special Star Correspondence.) Kinston, Nov. 10. Ruth Esther Rhyne, 9, died at the Caswell Train ing school, state institution near here, recently. Ten days ago the girl was burned. Dr. C. Banks McNairy, the superintendent, frankly asserts belief that the burns were responsible for her death. According to Dr. McNairy, one wom an attem'dant was in charge of 34 chil dren in a building at the school. She took the Rhyne child to the bathroom between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morn ing. A noise on the outside caused the attendant to leave her charge on the floor and hasten to see what was wrong. While she was gone an adult ddiot, given to nocturnal ramblings through the building, entered the bathroom, placed the child in a tub and turned on the hot water. The little girl was burned from the knees down. The burns were healing nicely when the victim died. They would not have been considered serious in the case of a hardier child, but the Rhyne girl was delicate. The burns, Dr. McNairy believes, "did not directly cause her death, which was sudden, but the shock, he hardly , doubts, proved fatal. Dr. McNairy is ; certain there was nothing malicious ( about the idiot's action. She, he as- i serts, was trying to help, presumably with the idea of winning flattery from the attendant.
