There should be concert Of action by parents upon

A GOOD AND mPORrANr MOyEMENT.

4 Of Trade following lines suggested last Spring,
has decided to spend $4,000 advertise and boost
Wilmington. That is a small amount when compared
with the money that is spent by other enterprisng
communities for advertising purposes, but 1t is good
beginning The employment of industrial COM
missioner whose duty it Will be to induce enterprises
Of various sorts to locate here, also should be pro-
ductive Of good results
When Board of Trade is engaged in work like
that it is dscharging IFS proper function. We also
would suggest that the Industrial commissioner be
directed to begin his missionary work right here in
Wilmington and teach those who own property suita-
BILE for manufacturing sites that they, too should do
their part in the Industrial movement Complaint
has been made heretofore that many industries have
been kept out of city by the rocketing of the
prices Of real estate needed for sites If that be true,
II might be wise for the Board Of Trade establish
Site Bureau TO take charge OF the real estate end
Of the development situation and to prevent extor-
tonsts and spectators from getting in the road Of

that should prove TO be an exceedingly important

tention that America has gone crazy
on road construction.
During fhe years 1904 to 1909, when
the steam Rilways added $4,000 miles
OF track, Tables / and IL show that
only $4,000 miles Of country roads
we're surfaced. Since there are z miles
of country road to every mile Of rail
way track, it would seem that If coun-
try road improvements were to keep
pace with railway growth there should
be several fold as many miles Of road
improved each year as there are miles
OF tracK added to the railway mileage.
Instead Of this, there has actually been
less mileage OF road improvement than
OF additions to railway track mileaeei
with all the yaunted growth in road
improvement in recent years, we see
that American roads continue to fall
woefuily behind American railways n
expenditures. New capital Invested in
steam railways was nearly $40 per
capita per annum during 1904 to 1909; /;
while during the same period road i'm
provement cost about 20 cents per

The fact is that America has fallen
SO far behind in the matter of country
road improvement that a generation
Of real craziness in large expenditures

NEW STAMPS
FOR PARCELS POST

When the new parcels post system
becomes operative on January ]
twelve new stamps will be placed on
sale in postohices for affixing TO par
eel post packages. These stamps will
be larger than the ordinary postage
stamps. Arrangements already made
by Postmaster General Hitchcock for
engraving and manufacture provide
for a series of an even dozen so dis
tinctive as to color and size as to
prevent possible confusion with
other stamps.
The II stamps will be issued in
three series of designs. In the first
series modern methods of transport
ing mail will be illustrated. The
mail car of a railway train will be
shown on one stamp. an ocean mail
steamship on another, a third Will
have a motor wagon of the type used
in the postal service, and the fourth
will show a mail-carrying aeroplane
Postal employees will be shown at
work in the second series. The fg-
ures will be those of railway mail
clerks, postofiice clerks, city letter
carriers and rural free delivery car
riers
Auxiliary Service.
An auxiliary postal service, not
necessarily under strict civil service
rules but under complete control of
the Government, will be established
to take charge of tho anticipated
large volume OF parcels post husi-
ness in large cities
This is one OF the problems with
which the postmasters of the FIVE
largest cities of the country-New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St Louis
and Boston-haye been wrestling at
their many conference with the Post
office Department Ohioisls
The expectation of the postmasters
is that retail merchants will largely
patronize the parcels post for local
delivery because OF the cheap post
age rate For city delivery the rate
will be cents for the first pound
and / cent for each additional pound
Up to IL pounds. That this low rate
will appeal very strongly TO retail
merchants is definitely known.
Range of Postage.
Mems suits could be delivered via
the parcels post for a rate Of ap-
proximatoly 12 cents, while the rate
on a pair OF shoes in a stout card
board box would be about cents
anywhere within a radius of rs miles.
Innumerable articles Of less bulky
character also would naturally 80
through the parcels post.
The establishment of an auxiliary
service will necessitate the extension
of terminal package business, all of
which will be expensive. It has
been decided that, il Congress desires
the establishment of the parcels post
upon anything like an adequate basis,
In order that it may be given a fair
trial throughout the country, an
emergency appropriation Of S3,000,00O
OF more must be made at the Decem-
Der session. The postofiice appropria-
ton act provided only S750,0OO.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
authorized the preparation of 125,OOl
special maps of the United States fol
use in the new system.

stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
injure 1t with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for. its
speed in giving relief: its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour gassy stomachs.
It's millions Of cures In indigestion,

world over
Keep this perfect stomach doctor IN
your home-keep It handy--get a

Diapepsin comes In contact with the
stomach all such distress vanishes
