likely to break If a real strain comes
upon it.
The following safeguard has been in
stalled in one house with satisfactory
results and at little cost:
Take four screw eyes. one-quarter or
three-eighth inch. Screw two in the
casing, one on each side Of the window,
at such a height that a line between
will come up we'll toward the armpits
when the woman is working on the
line, and screw in the other two about
eight inches below these. Get a piece
Of flexible cotton clothesline. put in an
eyelet. or what sailors call "thimble,"
at one end and secure the other against
raveling either in sailor fashion or by
whipping with piece of twine. Then
pass this latter end through the lower
left screw eye, cross the line diagonal
ly to the top screw eye on the right,
over horizontally 10 the one on the left
side. carrying it down diagOnally to the
lower screw eye on the right side. Pass
the end through the thimble on the
other end. haul the line taut and secure
by a half hitch and simple running loop
that can be easily opened, and the life
preserver is in place and ready for
work. 1t is strong and yields enough to
the weight not to interfere with work.
and It makes it impossible for a wo-
man to fall through the window.

This year somN Of the high schools
Of the State are teaching one study
and some another. When n graduate
applies for entrance TO any Of the coll
leges or universities It is frequently
found that one important study has
been omitted from the chld's educa-
tion. while an unimportant one has
been thoroughly learned.
1t is found that while Smyrna. for
instance. has an 11-year course, Nil
ford and Dover have 12-year courses
and vet their branches of study are
not similar.
The system throughout the State Is
uniform up to the ninth year. and Il
is TO make the high schools four-year
instead Of three-year schools. The first
eight years are not to he changed, ex-
cept. possibly. in the matter OF text
books. as clearer and more interesting
school books are being published every
year.
The school commission Of Kent coun.
ty reported the completion Of a strenu-
Gus Job. The commission has recently
accompanied the superintendent OF
Kent county on a visit Of inspection
Of every school house except five. Tho
furniture. books. equipment and gem
eral surroundings have been inspected
The State Board Will probably. at
the June meeting. also take some ac-
tion toward making n new recon-
mendatlon to the Legislature. One
provision Of the present school laws
gives $50 children-and that number
only-in New Castle. Kent and SUSSEX
counties. an appropriation Of $i5 a year
TO pay their tuition in a high school
If there be no high school facilities in
the district where the child lives Will
mington High School with its addl-
tional eduipment and higher-paid
teachers. asks $40 for each outsider
There is some talk among the edu.
Gators Of raising the rural limit II there

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN. Del. May 16.-
State Senator Archie B. Lingo's suit
against the Sussex county Levy Court
TO try to compel the improvement OF
the Wines Corner road. has aroused
great interest throughout the county
In 1905 in the Legislature he got a bill
through which provides that when
twenty-five freeholders on a public
road in any representative district
shall petition tho Levy Court. the same
shall appropriate for the improvement
Of such road the sum OF one thousand
dollars a year for five years, or until
a majority Of the freeholders shall pc
tition for its discontinuance. As soon
as this bill was passed Senator Lingo
pettioned the Levy Court for the i'm
provement of the Wines Corner road,
near Trinity. his home. The Levy
Court baked and for three years have
defied the law and Lingo too. Now
the indignant senator is applying to
the courts TO make the Levy Court get
busy and repair the road.
Meanwhile the members OF the Levy
Court are sending in petitions, and II
Lingo wins his suit every representa-
tive district in the county will call for
the same appropriations There are
ten of them. and that will mean $780,
600 spent on roads in this county in
the next five years. Some politicians
are calling Lingo all sorts of names.
They say the county will go broke.
It is the purpose OF some Of the poll
tlcians to keep Lingo off until the next
session Of the Legislature, when they
will try TO have the law repealed.

Rsnovatina Straw Hats.

As many Of last seasons straw hats
could be used by economical women
If they were not spotted or sunburned,
It is well 10 know a simple way OF
cleaning them. Split straw or white
milan should be scrubbed with a weak
solution Of oxallc acid and water, using
a small stiff brush. Rinse with clear
water, using as little as possible, so as
not to wet the straw any more than
necessary. Sprinkle the damp hat with
precipitate of sulphur and leave 1t in
the sun. When dry, brush the hat and
it will be found evenly white.
Colored straws that have become
soiled should be rubbed with a piece
of velvet dipped In gasoline. For black
braid or straw alcohol is sometimes
effective. On black chip even liquid
shoe polish has been tried, and for
light colored hats which have faded
some girls have been known to use
paints. tinting with the ordinary small
paint brush and water colors.

70 Comes So Often and Is a Terrible
Visitation.
Monday is a great trial. It comes so
often and is so very terrible when It
comes. It almost spoils Sunday. or
even II 1t does not quite ruin it, it af-
fects the flavor Of Sunday. There is a
slight Monday taint to it, no matter
what one does. 1t is just there, on the
other side, only night away, and the
thought Is very saddening II we
could have a day between Sunday and
Monday, a half day even, when we
could smile back at Sunday and brace
ourselves for Monday, it would be such
a satisfactory arrangement. On Satur-
day you begin TO relax, sort of run
down, as It were, letting your wheels
go slower and slower until on Sunday
morning you are in a state Of blissful
inanition. You smile impudently at du-
ties, wink scofhngly at energy; you
overeat, you Overhead and oversleep.
You simply let your daily principles 60
to the dogs. You make bad jokes, and
no one minds. They even laugh. every
one being so particularly nice on Sun
day.
Up to dinner time, and even a little
after, you ignore Monday. OF course
there is a horrid undercurrent Of it,
