episode Of His Holiness illness IN

Pontiff Loves the Sec.
Plus X has always been a fsrvent
lover OF the sea, even before he be-
came Patriarch Of Venice. but his
long stay in that city greatly intensi-
fed his love for the sunlt. eEer-mov-
ing expanse.
For years he has struggled with his
inconsistencies, which he mentioned
only to his most intimate friends and
relatives, but during his recent illness
this longing for the sea overmastered
him. In his delirium he invoked the
sea; he heard the waves beating on
the shore and smelled the salt air.
Finally this long -repressed desire
became an obsession which seriously
alarmed the physicians. II was then
planned to join the Vatican to the sea
by piecing together several proper
ties. This however. would never have
been carried out had not Cardinal
OConnell paid q visit to Rome and
heard of Il,

He went over the ground with sew

them to buy first the 'Pineta Sac

BERLIN, July 12.-Geraldine
Farrar forgot all about music. all
about her art" all about the
Metropolitan, all about trivial
mundane happenings when I met
her to-day at the Adlon Hotel.
She had just made a trip in an
airship-one of the Zeppeiins that
fly from Hamburg to Leipsig, and
she was "all emotioned," as they
say In French. Excitement, and
not No. IS, flushed her pretty
features. and she certainly did
look awfully charming in rather
severe navy blue walking dress
and a black Happy" hat-not one
of the basin shapes that make a
CELL look as though she were
clamoring to be extinguished.
Miss Farrar is too wise for that
sort of folly. Besides she isn't
clamoring to be extinguished.

Some Reasons Whv

From The Wilmington Sunday Star.
Every Evening says "thc failure of
Mr.. Coleman DUPONT TO build his pro-
posed State boulevard need not deter
the authorities of Maryland in their
proposed highway Improvement And
then our contemporary adds: "The
State Of Delaware will construct
state Highway which will connect
with the proposed road system Of the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland as effec-
lively as the DUPONT Boulevard would
have done"
There are two or three reasons why
Every Evenings confidence in State
Highway, constructed by the State, is
visionary. In the first place, it is ex-
tremely doubtful if an appropriation
ample for such huge enterprise
could ever be secured from the Legis-
lature; in the second place, il such an
appropriation were made it is even
more doubtful if the conflicting inter
ests clamoring for recognition would
ever be able to agree upon the course
Of such a highway; in the third place,
the fear Of graft in the expenditure Of
such large public fund would prob
ably be sufficient to defeat the passage
of any bin authorizing and providing
for such a State Highway The OBJ
iections TO Mr.. dupont's plan seems to
us to be puerile and insincere, and to
be founded more in jealousy and spite
than in wisdom
And by The way, that was a sensible
and forcible address made before the

ONE OF the most humiliating features of our odu-

each There is bill before the Legislature that IS
more worthy of support than that The only possi-
BILE objection that may be made validly to it is that
II still leaves the salaries OF those three important
officers entirely TOO low. The idea of asking a man
70 take charge Of and direct the educational activities
of entire county. with from 175 to 275 schools and
hundreds of teachers and thousands of pupils for less
than $40 week is that should not commend itself

Only Justice to the Women.

From The Wilmington Sunday Star.
A popular argument with those
who oppose the ten-hour law for wo-
men is that we ought not to make
dolls and playthings Of women; that
work strengthens and upbuilds, and
is therefore a good thing; and Of
course the more of a good thing the
better. And they point out that the
women Of the last generation and of
many previous generations worked
more than ten hours a day-some of
them sixteen hours a day-and were
no worse off for it. Then they wind
up with the clincher that our mothers
and sisters were among these sixteen
hour workers and didn't seem to suf-
fer from it.
Nevertheless, the women Of a gen
Grafton ago, who worked sixteen
hours a day did suffer from such
exhaustive druggery; and even if
they didn't, that is no argument for
keeping it up. The day of drudgery
is gone by for men, and should be
abolished for women. A woman is en-
titled to a little recreation, and TO be
in a condition TO enjoy it with zest,
which she cannot do if she is so dead
