Taft'S Political
 Fate At Stake In Present Trip
Most of His Time in States
 Where Insurgency is Strongest
 in Hopes of Winning Over the Enemy to His Support
Special from United Press,

(SpSCldl OJllleu TItSS.D
 Beverly, Sept. 15.-whether Presi- dent Taft admits it or not, his friends, who have talked with him on the eve of his six weeks speaking tour of the west are convinced that he begins, to- night, journey which will make clear what is to be his political fate in 1912.
 The President said the other day that he was going out to speak 10 the people on government issues, not all political. And just so, the ad- visers and opponents of President Taft look upon the 13,000N mile support. His friends predict it will be a vindication, his enemies hope it will demonstrate that the people are ready to reject President Taft.
 The most time is to be spent in those states where insurgency is strongest The fast, safe states are practically neglected. Yet, on the other hand, it was not President Taft so much as the importuning of mem bers of Congress from the west who are responsible for the itinerary of the trip. But the fact remains it is President Taft will be headed, to- night. Anxiety is great among those close to the President as to how he will be received in the seats of in- surgency. The attacks on the Presi- dent which have been recorded aI- most daily since the adjournment of Congress have planted foreboding in the hearts of Taft supporters. The incidents of the trip will be watched closely by both sides in an effort to gauge the temper of the people. The statement is made, however, that the west is sure to give President Taft a most hearty reception as it's guest, regardless of politics, because of the intense feeling of partial proprietor ship in the nations Chief Executive, of whom they get glimpse only once in two or three years. -
 The President has announced that his purely political speeches will be few in number. They will be on the tariff, which, as two years ago, when he toured the west was the para mount issue, the tariff board, con- servation. reciprocity and trust regu- lation. Instead of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law to defend, the President has three tariff vetoes to explain to the people His success in self justif1ca- tion is expected to depend upon the degree to which the tariff board idea appeals to the people as sound req sonfng. In fact, many here declare that the tariff board and not the tariff bills is the real issue of the trip.
 The Presidents intimates calculate that he will find an especially warm response to his speeches on world peace, parcels post marriage and d. vorce, and similar governmental topics not considered unadulterated political food, and which concern the citizen more intimately, regardless of his political view. At any rate, Pres ident Taft is now on the eve of laying his case before the people in a direct and personal appeal. He cannot turn back. With his departure from Bos- ton, this evening, the struggle will be on. The superstitious may find food for prophecy in the fact that today is the 54th anniversary of the birth of William Howard Taft.

Tioht Collars.

Writing in the Hospital, London, Dr.. Walford warns everybody against tight collars. He considers it remarkable that no one seems to have noticed or. at any rate, to have laid great stress on the fact that such slight obstacles to the free circulation of the blood through the vessels of the brain may adversely influence the health of those who are in the habit of wearing tight ly fitting neckcloths. "The fact ap- pears to be well known to veterinary surgeons, who tell us that neck con striction through badly fitting harness is causative factor in 'staggers' in horses" says the writer. It seems to be equally well known that dogs suf- fer great deal through having to wear tightly fitting collars. Is it too much, then, Dr. Walford asks, to argue that those of us who wear our own collars too tightly buttoned may find in that practice some explanation of symptoms ascribed to other causes?

round . Way to Help.
 A worthy old Quaker who lived in a country town in England was rich and benevolent, and his means were put in frequent requisition for pur- poses of local charity or usefulness. The townspeople wanted to rebuild their parish church, and committee was appointed to raise funds. It was agreed that the Quaker could not be asked to subscribe toward an object so contrary to his principles: but then, on the other hand, so true a friend to the town might take it amiss if he was not at least consulted on mat ter of such general interest. So one of their number went and explained to him their project; the old church was to be removed and such and such steps taken toward the construction of a new one
 "Thee vast right" the Quaker said, 'fn supposing that my principles would not allow me to assist in build ing a church. But didst thee not say something about pulling down church? Thee may'st put my name down for hundred pounds" ."-Meri- vale's Historical Studies"

A Curious Tea Case.


 A correspondent of the British Med ical Journal gives an account of the curious symptoms be experienced aft CT drinking tea. He writes: When ever I take tea I go through a regular procession of events most distressing and stultifying. Shortly. these are as follows: Within fifteen minutes of walking {movement seems to be essen tiaD feel hot about the scalp and knees. The former feels as if pepper were dusted all over it. Then pract- cally lose my sight and hearing and if in conversation cannot say more than yes or no because I am so faint and nstless; then lose the power of walk ing quite straight and choose the wall side of .he path. Lastly break out into general precipitation. and with in forty-fve minutes l return to my senses" This correspondent adds that he has consulted many medical men. but has never found any means of re- lief.

Gautler,s superstftion.

Theophile Gautier, the critic, novelist and poet, like many another great man, was superstitious and believed in the evil eye. Offenbach was his aversion, and in this respect Paris contemporary tells us that one day the son and father were walking together. The son, for wickedness' sake, start ed a conversation about Offenbach, and his father gave him to understand that the subject was disagreeable. Moth ing daunted, the lad led Gautier to a shop window where was exposed a photograph of the composer.
 As they resumed their walk the son observed, Well, you see, father, after all, nothing has happened through looking at the photograph" At that moment they were turning the corner. and the son preceded his father. In full view of the passersby Gautier ad- ministered to his tormentor a paternal kick, observing, half in anger and half in humor, Well, something has hap pened."

Grape Growing In Delaware

j. d. Hopkins, of Livingston county, N.
Y, addressed the Dover Board of Trade
last week, in the interest of the estab-
lishment of q grape juice bottling plant,
in Dover. In his argument presenting
the eaod that such an industry would
bring to Delaware, Mr.. Hopkins brought
out the following points:
That Delaware can grow the right kind
OF grapes as well as any other State.
The proposed capital of s25,O00 paid in
at once would carry a 200ton pack.
Good grapes reach four and half tons
to the acre in Delaware as an average
yield.
The grape grower and even the straw
berry grower saves the cost of packing,
freight and shaky markets by selling his
product at the factory and many contract
outright.
There is an unlimited field for grape
juice. 1t is growing in esteem for medi-
cinal purposes, and as a food and not ali
the people are using grape juice yet by
any means"
The entire matter of the fruit Juice
factory was turned over to the committee
of the Board of Trade and the company
will probably be incorporated in a few
days.

Sewing In The Public Schools
Editor NEWARK POST:

Editor NEWARK POST:
Having recently spent an afternoon
with the sewing class of a Wilmington
garmmar school and being impressed
with the utility, beauty and far-reach-
ing effects of the work, have decided
to bring it to the notice of this COM
munity through the columns of your
paper.
We entered large well-lighted WELL
ventilated room, with tables on two
sides. At these were seated some 35
girls, ranging in age from twelve to fif-
teen years, busily and quietly sewing. In
preceding period | had observed these
children in a mental arithmetic recita-
tion. l could not help contrasting the
apathetic expression upon some faces
during that period and the happy inter-
est manifested in the sewing room.
Some children cannot take the cultur-
ed studies beyond a certain stage of de-
velopment. What then shall be done
with them? Shall they remain drag
upon the class and a modification to
themselves, or shall they be given work
by which the hand may be trained and
useful, happy future assured?
At the teachers request, l went among
the children and inspected their work.
In no case did | find carelessness. In an
swer to my question whether they liked
this work better than the regular les
sons, some replied that they liked both,
six liked sewing better, two did not like
it much"
Each was finishing a, dress for small
child. They provide the material and
when garment is finished it belongs to
the maker. If there is no little one at
home, the dress is given to a neighbor
or to a charitable institution.
The capable supervisor of sewing for
Wilmington schools, Miss Joanna Nc
Laughlin, very kindly explained the
course, and showed samples of work
| from the darning, patching and apron
making of the primary grades to the
| substantial neat underwear and shirt
| waists cut and made by the grammar
grade pupils.
upon my return to the principals Of
hce l asked her what effect the work in
sewing had upon the three hundred and
| hfty girls yearly ander her charge. She
| asked me if l had observed the uniform
| neatness of the seven hundred children
l had seen enter the building that morn
ing. told her, emphatically. that had.
She then informed me that before sewing
was introduced it was the usual thing to
see torn or ripped dresses and stockings
undarned. This school is situated in a
good section Of the city and was as
sured that in other sections the contrast
between present and past conditions was
much more noticeable.
One county school, DUPONT, has intro
duced sewing at a total yearly cost of
$3.50 to the district. The principal is
enthusiastic as to results. Would it not
be well for other county schools to con-
slider this matter? OBSERVER.

Honors For Delaware

At the recent examinations held at
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, w. H.
P. Blandy, formerly of this town, car
ried off the honors in the third class,
standing first on the list of $50 members.
When Blandy received his appointment
in 1909 he was a Newark boy and stud
ent at Old Delaware. His early educa-
tion was received in the Newark public
school.
1t is understood that this is the first
instance since the foundation of the
Naval Academy that a Delaware man
has been at the head of his class.
In this connection it is matter of
some interest that in 1859 Senator du =
Pont was No. l in the fourth class at the
Military Academy at West Point, there
being at that time five classes of cadets
and this was the first time that a Della
ware man had led his class at that in
stittution.
Mr.. Blandy has been assigned to the
U. S. S. Massachusetts, where he VIII
complete his course of six years in
struction at sea.
