FOR WEBB BILL.
Oak Ridge Faculty Urge President

Especial to News and Observer
Oak Ridge, Feb. 22.-The faculty of
Oak Ridge Institute have memorable
ed the president OF the United States
asking him to sign the Webb bill per-
tanning to the shipment of Intoxicating
LIQUORS into this State. They have set
forth the fact in their memorial that it
is now possible for a dealer from any
point without the State to ship liquor
upon order to a minor of any age-a
thing which Is made criminal in al
most every State in the union for a
LIQUOR dealer to do.
It is probable that there is no In
etitution for young men and boys in
the State OF North Carolina where in
stances could not be given where
N0uor has been shipped BY express
from places as far as Dayton, Ohio.
and elsewhere to minors Of 10 or II
years Of age. and that not in single
drinks, but by the gallon.

No CAUSE FoR coMPLAINr.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The farmers af Kent and Sussex coun-
ties at the close of 1913 will have no
cause for worry over the financial -re-
suits of their seasons business, and will
not have TO ask the favor of a friend to
endorse a note TO cover any deficiency in
income from the farms. The tomato
crop was unusually prolific and profit
able, the grain crops were an average,
the fruit brought good prices even
though the crop was short in quantity
and now the sweet potato crop is bring
ing TO the growers returns which range
from seventy-fve to one hundred and
fifty dollars for each acre planted TO
sweet potatoes. From eight acres
handled by J. Stanley Short, who is TIE
trustee for the Potter estate for Kent
county. he has dug and sold over thirty
two hundred baskets Of l.rst-grade po-
tatoes and four hundred and fifty has-
kets of second grade, while there are
hundreds of baskets of small pota-
toes which will be used to feed
COWS and other stock, and for that pur-
pose is worth much to the truck grower.
We notice that the farmers are the ones
with bank accounts in the banks of
Kent and Sussex counties, and that
those who grow truck and fruit are the
ones who have the largest cash bal
ances, and are making the most i'm

Editorial Opinion
BETTER MAm SERVICE.
From the Henlopen Herald.

From the Henlopen Herald.
In July several merchants Of Lewes
and Rehoboth hundred asked Senator
Salisbury to file with the Postmaster
General a petition for better mail
service. The substance of this petit
tion was that a gasoline track motor
car should leave Harrington on the
arrival of the New York express at
lao a. m. with the morning papers
and mail for towns between Harring-
ton and Rehoboth on the D. NJ. and
V. r. r., returning by the NJ. d and
V. to Harrington via Greenwood.
These tracks are clear until 6 a..
m. with the exception of miles be-
tween Greenwood and Harrington, the
main line. The total distance is ap-
proximately 80 miles and the popula-
ton benefited would be about 10000
people.
Having mail arrive in the morning
instead of / D. m. would be an inn
mense boon to this vicinity
Business is transacted at present in
most advantageous circumstances
Visitors to Lewes and Rehoboth who
come for recreation find the places
impossible when the morning papers
come at l and D. m.
We are not in a position to esti-
mate the cost of this service, but we
believe many other star routes do
not begin to compare with the num-
Der Of people that would ne benefited
by this innovation.
Our present system is pathetic. A
letter mailed at Rehoboth at 4 p. m.
Saturday generally arrives in Balti-
more or Washington on Tuesday
morning. AS Eehobotn IS Washinston's
nearest seaside resort, about 100
miles as the crow flies. let US hope
that those in authority will favorably
consider our petition, and Delaware's
r Representatives in Washington will
not be idle in this matter.
Since this was agitated in July,
numerous people have spoken to the
writer, inquiring what was being
done. We trust Immediately this will
be brought to the attention of our
representatives and acted upon.

For the children themselves the
Institute has taken over "The After
School Club" an older organization,
which is probably more widely
known. Membership in this society
gives the children the privilege of
correspondence with Uncle Nat"

stands child nature. These are COM
radeship letters written personally
to each child and aim to interest
along lines worth while and direct
the developing minds into the paths
of true men and women. Notices,
books, badges, honor prizes. club
exchang ges-specimen of mineral
ogy, stamps, copies of great pictures
and the story of each, are only some
Of the delightful forms Of imparting
beautiful, healthy, ideals.
Mrs. Hall is one of the bright
happy-faced mothers whose children
have outgrown their early depend

operations in the present work, and
seldom fails to stir the enthusiasm

THE EVENING JOURNAL, she said
when the history of the twen-
tieth century is written its crowning
glory will he its earnest striving
toward the improvement Of living
conditions and its deep realization Of
its obligations to the coming genera
ton. Great universities. national as
sociations, richly endowed founda-
tions, make the study Of the child
their basic purpose. Nine great ma
tions of the world are at the present
time actively engaged in public and
private work on the problem OF
child betterment.
But they find that the real key
to social progress is through intel
iligent motherhood and that the most
direct way TO keep the. child lovely
and pure is to impart very early in
life an appreciation of the true, the
beautiful and the good, OF TO quote
an ardent child student: To make
their virtues more attractive than
their vices.
There is but one great issue in
the twentieth century: II is for
every child to have the privilege OF
being efficiently equipped for life. Just
what equipment produces the best
results with the least expenditure of
time. strength and money is the
question every mother is striving to
answer. The American Institute of
Child Life was formed to provide
help in every possible way to both
parents and children"

ENROLL PARENTS In
STUDY OF CHILD LIFE

20 reveal the great Child World to
parents, teachers and children, is the
worthy purpose of the American Insti-
tute of Child Life. Mrs. NJ H. ID. Hall,
one of the. secretaries of the organi1a-
tion, is now at work with two assist
ants, in this city explaining to teachers
and parents the details Of the great
plan, which has now entered upon its
second year Of usefulness.
Mrs Halls assistants are Miss Wolfe
and Miss Ellie. Mrs. Hall came from
Newark, where she was engaged in tho
same work for ten days, to Wilmington,
and she and her assistants will devote
the greater part of the winter to their
campaign in Wilmington
Mrs. Hall said today sho IS greatly
pleased with the progress she has made
in Wilmington. She spoke in the high
est terms of the hospitable manner IN
which she has been received in homes
and wherever she has calleu. She says
the type of mothers she has met is high,
and the enrollments in the American In
stitute of Child Life are far above her
expectations.
The Institute is an endowed corpora
tion, chartered under the laws of the
State of Pennsylvania as an educational
institution without profit Any mother
or teacher may become a member by
payment of the dues, which merely cover
expense of service rendered. The ad-
ministrative board includes the names
of David Starr Jordan, Ben B. Lindsay,
Joseph Swain, Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Mrs Mary V. Grice, Mary Z. Wooley,
Patty Smith Hill, while the advisory
board makes a practically complete list
Of all the leading organizations and So
cisl workers concerned with childhood
in America.
The Institute acts as the clearing
house for the ideas received from these
well-known authorities, and passes them
on, in condensed, simple and attractive
form TO the mothers of the land. The
idea is TO reinforce the mother instinct
with the power of knowledge and thus
strengthen her influence for good ten
fold. The work is carried on by means
Of magazines, edited by a hoard of four
teen who CLEAN and condense from one
hundred periodicals each month, the
most enlightening and trustworthy in
formation on child life; books as de-
sred from great parents library;
personal confidential letters from Mrs
,irice, founder of the Parent Teachers
Leaguei by the outlining of games. ad-
vice in the direction Of play and home
occupation and the purchase of books
md toys. And so on through a multi
tude of details the Institute acts as a
wise and gentle friend, supplementihq
the mothers needs with advice at every
turn.
