V. IDIER BOYS 'ASK BE REI Member of Company A, Says Some May Not Receive;, Christmas Gifts. The necessity of cooperation on the cart ot Wilmingtonians in brighten-?' jg Christmas for the members of Company A, Wilmington Engineer Troops, on the border by subscrib ing cash or other gifts for a box to t. cnt to Camp Stuart, El Paso, Tex., J jS again sot forth in a letter just re ceived from a corporal in Company by a friend here. The letter reads, in . part: "As we H,e isolated from home and as there lT a number among us who, per jiap. not receive as many gifts (or Christmas as others, I think the necessity for a public subscription nniplified. Do you not?" Further it suggests that boxes might be placed in Baxter's, Warren's and the Wilmington Cigar-Company's stores, where donations might be made. The writer asks that a card reading "Make Christmas., Donation to Company A, North Carolina Engi neers; Your Representatives on the .Mexican Border," be placed on the boxes. The letter states that Mr. D. H. Howes, Jr., of this city, has al ready been appointed secretary and treasurer of a fund. Mrs. J. Victor Grainger, Sr., has already come forward and volun teered to receive any and all sub scriptions in cash or articles to be included in a box to be sent to "Wil mington's Own Troops on the Bor der," and she urges that any donation for the local soldier boys , be made on or before Monday as it will re quire several days to make the ship ment to the far-away Lone Star State. The Red Cross Society of Wilmington, too, will send a Christ mas box to the Wilmington soldiers who are guarding the International line early n3xt week. tHHii mm . IS BEING URGED STILL ESCAPING. Mary McGlaughon Again at Liberty. Escaped from Farm Yesterday. Mary McGlaughon, the ebony-hued damsel who was recently sentenced to serve thirty days at the county farm, following her conviction in Re corder's court on a charge of lar ceny, escaped from the farm yester day and her present whereabouts is unknown to the police and county of ficers. Whether Mary actually wants her freedom or is mereiy seeking to es tablish an escape record is the ques tion that is now being debated by the authorities. She is succeeding acrmralT!y---he'latter. ' She -first sprang into the limelight when she was sought by the police on a lar ceny charge by eluding the efforts of the officer to take her into custody when sHTeaped from the window of a house, but &he was arrested when she returned for her clothes. She was placed in a cell to await trial but pretended illness and was carried to the hospital for treatment to be later returned to jail. Again Mary protested against incarceration in prison and again ne was carried to the hospital. When all eyes were turned else vhere Mary left the in stitution, but was arrested at Lake Waccaiuaw and- haled before the re corder and convicted on a charge of larceny She was caried to the county 'arm to begin service of her sentence and yesterday she again walked awr;y when the opportunity presented itself.

Audience i Heard Miss Gertrude Wat kins Speak HereT Some . seventy odd persons, mostly ladies, assembled in the Superior Court room at the Court House last night to hear Mis Gertrude Watkins' views on the suffrage question and nniiBif STiinniiiTiir UtiMlV I HIM lilt itlifiii Lf The Hollander Inflicted More Punishment- Than lson , Could Stand Up Under. " ; By subjecting Charles Olson's arm to treatment that left it in a weakened and almost useless condition Tommy Draak took two straight falls from the , . "t giant Swede at the Woolvin Hall last vhile a general air of expectancy per- j night before an audience that taxed vaded the spacious auditorium nothing I the seating: capacity of the spacious occurred that would tend to create ex citement and the address of Mis& Wat kins' which was delightful and most refreshing, was heard with evident pleasure by her audience. Charmingly gowned , in a pink dress the speaker would never have been taken for a suffragette because in, localities where little is known of the movement on the part of women to gain the ballot the average man imagines that all women seeking the franchise are doing so in an. effort to gain recognition and not because, they really care to go to the polls and vote. Miss Watkins began with an Irish joke as an illustration of the fact that the women, in their fight for the franchise, arc at least holing their own and concluded by saying she would be ashamed of her self if she weTe anything other than a suffragette. The speaker of the evening was in troduced by Louis Goodwin, Esq., who referred to the contributed article in yesterday's Dispatch that asked the women of Wilmington to turn a deaf ear to the voice urging the formation of an equal suffrage league and con tinued by saying that the President In order that the best results may , of the United States should thank his be obtained, the shipping public is urged to Ship Early and comply with the following very necessary precau tions r. 1 Address all shipments plainly, lucky star that the women of the West enjoyed the privilege of the ballot or else one Charles Evans Hughes would now be arranging to take up a four year residence in the White House as writing with ink or crayon on the the next President of this country. Mr, shipment; never use lead pencil. Tags should be avoided whenever possible. 2. The local address of the person to whom shipment is made should al ways be shown, as its absence may result in delay in delivery. 3. The shipper's name and ad dress should be on every shipment, so that prompt notice can be furnish ed in case of. non-delivery. 4. All shipments should be packed with sufficient care to withstand the ordinary handling in transit. Packages should be wrapped in heavy paper and tied with strong cord. Glass and similar fragile ar ticles should be enclosed in strong wooden boxes, or corrugated paper cartons. Special labels reading "Glass" or "Fragile" will be fur- hjhedt ,upqnr.equest, by the. .exnjess company. 5. Always correctly describe con tents of each shipment and the value thereof; the contents and value! are elements in determining the charge. Special rates are provided for shipments of foods, and such packages should be marked "Perish able." 6. Money, jewelry and other arti cles of unusual value should not be packed with ordinary5 merchandise. Such articles should be in separate packages, sealed, so that they can be handled in the Special Department Goodwin declared the woman vote of the West turned the tide in favor of the President, adding that Democracy had that much to thank the lady vot ers for. The first utterances of Miss Wat kins' was that all move closer to her for as she explained, "this is a ques tion we all want to get together on,?" She. traced the growth of the great suffrage movement and explained how it had grown and prospered until now it was a factor in the lives of all. The suffrage idea, according to the speaker, originated in the minds of four women and now there are 4,000, 000 enlisted in the fight. The suffarge movement is compar atively young and if as much is ac complished by the women in the com ing fifteen yearsas has been in the past fifteen its"rahks will stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. Miss Watkins pointed out that man kind had not always enjoyed the pri- VilfiETfi nf vntinc hilt shfl ortrid "tn hoo them talk one would think that it was Uil c? vg a special right, handed down from time immemorial." Another fact stress ed by the speaker was that the Su preme Court had handed down decis ions to the effect that women were actually people and that this . great law making body later decided that hall. The first fall was decided in 34 minutes, Draak -using, a scissors hold on the arm. and shoulder together with a wrist lock while the second went but 10 minutes and 45 seconds and was; decided with ai plain wrist lock . The broad shoulders of the Swede were never flattened against the mat, the giasnt being unable to stand the punish ment to which he was subjected and in each instance raps on the mat told the referee that he had "enough." 'It is hard to determine to what extent jjeferee McGuriey was responsible for the Swede's early wilting in the second match but the consensus of opinion was that McGurley was responsible to a certain extent. His failure to end the first fall when Olson signaled that he had enough caused the loser to en dure a lot of uhncessary punishment . Mr. McGurley explained that he did not know Olson was signalling his de feat because he was on the opposite side from the hand that was playing a tattoo on the floor but fans seated on the topmost row of bleachers heard the signal distinctly enough, He was merely off the job for a few seconds and that cost Charlie Olson untold agony and pain, made it necessary for him to ask for his full 20 minute intermission and sent him back to the second test with an almost useless arm . While the match was not so good as the Ress-Kelohis match of two weeks ago it was a splendid exhibition of brute strength and bull dog tenacity. Olson does not possess the science that is Draak's but he is apparently a much better man phyically. The big Swede was handicapped because his lack of science for while he broke numerous holds that looked mighty good to the fans the treatment in flicted on his arm by Draak proved bis undoing. The first-fall had hard ly been started before - the victor be gan treating the Swede's arm and that treatment eventually gave him the decision. Both men were very active, consid ering their immense ' stature and weight and both were willing to rough it up. Both are blessed with spleniJ" :wind, although the noises that eminated from their mouths at HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR SAI2ARY Do You Use Half for living Expenses an Half Foolishly? r - -v ...-:'; We Would Suggest This Division: Sixty per cent for living expenses, fifteen per cent for "wholesome pleasures, and TWENTY-FIVE per cent deposited in our Bank. You would be surprised at the amount you could save in this way. Having a bank account would make you think more of yourself, would make your neighbor . think more of you, and would make you a Jjetter citizen and of more worth to your ! state. - .- -fc. v r The Wilmington Savings & Trust Company 110 Princess Street. A EXCELLENT REPORT. A M E Rl CANS KNOCKED OF F. Dr. Stiles Declares Improve ment Is 100 Percent. After inspecting twenty-five homes Two Teama, Tied for First Place In The Basketball league.

When lere last year Dr. Stiles found that on a basis of 100 the in dex was 45, 14 more than the original index of 31 established in 1914. Yes terday the health officer found the rating to be 60. In establishing this figure the construction and the prox imity of surface closets to wells was considered and diseases that had oc curred in the family due to unsani tary conditions. While here Dr. Stiles was the guest of Dr. Charles T. Nesbitt, county health officer. Dr. Stiles left today for Columbus county to con tinue his inspection, but will return to Wilmington either tonight or tomorrow. IS MENTALLY COMPETENT. Jury Finds Mr. A. S. Winstead Does Not Need Guardian. v Mr. A. S. Winstead is mentally com petent to manage his own' affairs, ac cording to the verdict rendered by a jury which heard the evidence in spe cial proceedings heard before Clerk of Superior Court Major W. N. Harriss, yesterday afternoon. Two physicians times corresponded admirably with-thei and four additional witnesses were ex- exhaust of a locomotive. The match savored much of a prize fight at times and Olson . slapped his adversary sev eral times blows that were intended to irritate but which are seldom used The Swede was on" the defense the greater part of the time. With all due respect to his strength, which was really marvelous, he did not possess the science of the other and there could be but one ending. He broke hold after hold that many thought would prove his downfall but such could not be kept up continuously and woman possessed a soul. Miss Wat-' .i. , - .kins Hor1aroH fV. H- ...

Mother of Seagate Lady Died at Bladenboro Yesterday Afternoon. News of the death of Mrs. Lennon Jordan, of Bladenboro, N. C, mother of Mrs. S. A. Jones, of Seagate, which occurred late yesterday afternoon, was contained in a telegram to Mrs. Jones jast night. She left early this morn- Jng to attend the funeral services INSPECTING PAVEMENTS. appreciative of all this from the law making bodies composed of the op posite sex. Another bit of interesting informa tion given by the speaker was that 50 per cent, more girls graduate from the High Schools each ye"ar than boys which would indicate that the girl's mind Is quicker and more 'able to grasp things than the mind of the young' man. Miss Watkins told of the convertion of William Jennings Bryan to" the Bryan as Representative of Portland Cement Association In City. Mr. W. P. Engel, a member of the engineering staff, of the Portland Ce ment Association, is today conferring cause and she quoted Mr with city and county officials relative saying he was obliged to change his to highway building. Mr. Engel spent j views and align himself with those yesterday at Oleander and made a fighting for woman's freedom when thorough inspection of the concrete he began noticing that the insane streets and sidewalks that have been 'asylums and penal institutions contain built there. He expressed himself as 'fed fewer women and more men and very much impressed with the dura- that just the opposite condition exist- bility of brick-paved streets "of the city !ed in the churches. She stated that and in his opinion they have stood up remarkably, well.: FAREWELL ADDRESS Rev. O. T.

Sub ject, 'The Burning of the World.' . Mr. Bryan declared himself for suf frage for this reason and while per haps the Great Commoner is not the powerful figure he once was there is no denying the fact that Bryan is yet a man to be reckoned with and the very fact that he is for equal suf frage will cause many skeptics, to change their views relative to the question that is claiming the attention of the. American people today. . . In addition to making an unusually interesting address Miss Watkins an swered all questions put to her, touch- was obliged to weaken as keeper, in his sing-song voice, called out the five minute periods. Olson put up a good fight and many of the fans were with him but there is no denying the fact that Draak is a more accomplished wrestler. amined relative to the competency of Mr. Winstead to manage his affairs. P. D. Satchwell, Esq., represented the contingent that was seeking to have Mr. Winstead declared Incompe tent with the idea of having a guardian appointed to have charge of same. Mr. Winstead was represented by C. C. Cashwell, Esq. While it was neces sary for Mr. Winstead to use a wheel chair to attend court the opinion of the jury was that his mind was not impaired. trpden Red Sox the Detroit and Phila delphia namesakes tied for the topmost rung of the percentage ladder. The Tiger-American contest was fast and furious at times but the latter 'found it impossible to go the entire distance at the clip , maintained during the early stages of the game and the ending found them swinging the small end of a 34-24 decision. ""rThe""Athletic-Red Sox fray was 'de cided by a 24-15 count, the latter put ting up a splendid exhibition of the in door sport during the first half but wilting woefully in the second or last.
