Handling Of Prisoners,


| wealth there is generally an increase
also of crimes and annoyances, and, as a
result while an influx Of riches pre-
ponderates in one scale, an augmentation
OF ofenseS acts as a cOunterbalance in
the other, thus requiring the constant
and progressive application Of such RENE
dies as will preserve the good and dimin-
ish the evil or keep evil within bounds.
Aside from employing remedies against
the vicious, the police of today must do
much toward systematizing movement
and conduct in cities.
Reference was made by Maj. Sylvester
| to traffic control and Of the use of auto
| mobiles by burglars, as well as to the
question Of the stealing Of horseless
vehicles. He said that the New England
coast summer colonies were the recipients
| of calls from automobile burglars for two
| seasons. No better provision could be
had for getting there with the tools
and getting away with the goods" and
while killings and arrests have followed
| their pursuit, the time will come, no
doubt, when descriptions Of machines
| which move about over highways at un-
usual hours and in a way suspicious will
be had as a part of the police precautions
| under state regulation, and such informa-
| ton will be telephoned from place to
place, as are the movements of trains
| in connection with the block system OF
| railways.
1T has been demonstrated that police
commands should be supplied with arms
not only for self-defense in times of indi-
| vidual peril, but in order to meet unex-
pected and violent destructive opposition
| to constituted authority" said Maj. Syl-
vester While such should be done, the
member Of the establishment should be
| fully instructed in the mechanism and
use Of small arms. Without it, not only
does 1t become a constant danger to the
one intrusted to it's carrying. but to the
public. The folly of an officer mex.
| perienced with the revolver, attempting
to destroy q mad dog in a crowded street
is at once apparent. Not only should the
care, means Of loading, carrying and
drawing be thoroughly understood, but
| the aiming, firing. as well as when and
under what conditions o'use the nipple.
ment, should be embodied In the instruc.

NO GIRLS HOMELY,
NO OBEAUTYSTRTKE

NEW YORK, May 15--The beauty
strike" at the white goods factory of
B. Aptheker Eldridge and Grand
streets. is over. Yesterday the girls
went TO work again, their union or
ganizer having advised them that
beauty is not its own complete re-
ward and SIS a week for making cor
set covers is good pay. The strikers
charged that the pretty girls got the
best work and the homely ones had
TO take second choice. and il was the
pretty ones who, desiring complete
Justice. demanded that the work
should be divided equally between the
pretty and homely.
According 10 NJ. H. Aptheker. man
ager, of the factory, that was not the
trouble at all.
"The girls are all pretty in our
shop as far as ! can see," he said.
I'VE haven't any homely girls here
or il we have they never looked home
" to me Perhaps 7 am no judge of
beauty, but any woman who can do
her work we'll looks good TO me The
real trouble was th- some Of the
girls refused to work on smaller cor
set covers because we can't pay quite
as much for them, and when we got
a rush order Of May goods they would
not work. We told them to go out
and talk it over with their union or
ganizer, and they went. When he
heard that We pay these girls SIS
week. have no system Of fines and do
not charge for electric power. he told
fbot,, tl,o,. 1,offor hustle hack To work
and forget II. They came back and
all is forgotten. We take good care
Of our girls, and be sure and say in
your paper that we haven't any
homeiy ones"
One of half dozen Of the girls who
posed before the camera said that the
beauty strike" failed as soon as the
manager Of the factory announced
that there were no homely girls In the
place.

GEN. DUPONT
DISCUSSES The
BOULEVARD
Says Land Owners Only Are
Interested in Use Of
Side Strips
EXPRESSES SURPRISE THAT
THEY WANT RESTRICTIONS

A reporter for THE EVENING
JOURNAL called on General I. Cole
man DUPONT and asked If he
had any boulevard news.
Il am surprised at the people want
ing to know what / am going 70 do
with the 160 feet not needed for the
road, and when ! say the people.
mean the land owners, for they are
the ONLY ones that can be interested"
General dupont said. "As a business
proposition the very worst thing that
can happen TO the land owner is to
have his land idle or land near his
land idle. This is just as true of land
as il is of people or things, and if one
or two of his sons or employees are
idle, his producing capacity is cut
down. If one or two of his fields are
idle, his producing capacity is cut
down and If land adjoining his land
is tied up with red tape his land is in
jured thereby.
when the boulevard goes through
the land of good business men they
say. Take it quick and do what you
please with it, and in one or two in
stances they have said: Cut il up in
town lots and sell il II you want to-
'In many instances this has been
liberality and desire to help Della
ware and the road. but in one in
stance and one only. the land owner
had undoubtedly thought a good deal
and was looking out for himself and
really wanted me 10 lay out the part
not needed for road into town lots and
agreed to build on one or two of them.
"I am surprised. and the more
think of it the more surprised ] am,
that the land owners want restriction
put on the use OF the land. Such busi-
ness Judgment won't get them ahead
in this world and If they get ahead it
will be by dumb luck, and not by
using business sense.
"I will agree to prove TO any sue
cessful real estate man in Delaware,
or / will go further and agree TO
prove 10 any successful business man
in the United States, that the best
thing that can happen 10 the land
owner is to have that part not re-
duired for road and public utilities,
laid off in building lots and sold
Don't think from what I say that
I have any intention of laying any OF
the ground on in lots. for I have no
such thought but am just arguing
from a viewpoint OF common sense.
81 read Mr.. Miller's speech Of last
Wednesday evening and was present
when he made the offer at Laurel or
Delmar. to buy one mans land. who
was hesitating. Afterwards the man
told me: If Walter Miller will buy
my land and give the boulevard 200
feet. he is no fool ] will keep the
land and give the 200 feet myself
my only regret is that Walter Mil
lers are not born every day. A coun-
try with half a dozen men like him
would certainly make progress and

POSTCARD PRAYER
is SPREADING FEAR

HAGERSTOWN. Md, May 15-Au
endless chain system OF postcards
bearing what the originators term
IAN Ancient Prayer" and the declara-
tion that all VINO fail 10 keep up "the
chain would meet with misfortune,
has flooded the mails in this section
and also throughout the upper por-
tion of the Cumberland Valley with
the result that many persons. especi-
ally women, have been frightened by
the cards and the authorities threaten
to start an investigation
Thousands of these cards have been
sent through the mails already and
the chain promises 10 grow TO enor-
nous proportions. The effect Of that
portion OF the prayer which states
that calamity will befsll those who
pass il by is having a serious effect
upon the minds Of superstltious per-
sons. Many persons continue the
chain because they fear that misfor-
tune Of some kind will come TO them
II they break il.
A woman living near Pon-Mar did
not write her nine cards as requested,
and one of her calves died. She be-
lieves her failure to send out the
cards was responsible for her loss.
Other instances Of minor misfortunes
also have been reported where people
failed to comply.
The recipient Of the card is ex-
pecied 10 repeat the PRAYER for Line
days and to send out nine cards bear
ing the prayer 10 persons Of their
acquaintance and in this manner the
chain is continued
The cards are sent unsigned. which
renders II difficult for the postal au-
thorties 70 trace their source.
The PRAYER, in part, reads as fol-
This prayer was sent 10 me and
Is to be sent all over the world. Copv
# and see what happens. II is said
in Jesus time. all who wrote this
prayer would be delivered from ali
calamity, and all who PASS n bv
would meet with misfortune. Those
who copy St within mite davs and
send II to nine friends would on the
ninth day receive great ioy. DO moi
break the chain. Sign no name. lust
date when received"
There's only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class arc you? Are YOU
easing the load
or oyertaxed lifters who toll down
the road?
Or are YOU a leaner, who lets others
bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?
