Ihl State Of Delaware has been fortu-
maze in some of It's financial sources and
among these is the steady fow of money
10 the treasury from the incorporation
Jaw but, there will come time when
this source will wither and cease. then
will be presented a proposition as to how
TO finance the fixed expenditures which
have been loaded upon the people. We
have the State Hospital for the Insane
at an annual cost Of about one hundred
thousand dollars each year. We have
the public schools which cannot fall be-
low one hundred thousand dollars ner
year, By constitutional enactment. We
have the support Of Delaware State and
the New Woman $ Affiliated College. at
an expense Of about fifty thous5s5 dollars
per year, as well as the other Il + Ifcharges
for holding sessions Of the legislature
salaries and health protection. Should
the incorporation revenue cease. there
must then be devised way to get the
money to pay the bills, and that would
probably be through aud By a direct tax
for state purposes in addition the county {
and town taxes now collected. The
present sources for revenue from the
banks and insurance would seem to be
lbout to their limit. and the only source
rom present income producing places
where an increase could be expected 10
ONE, is the railroads. A physical valua- f
ion, or another system of taxation along
be lines as practiced in Wisconsin and n
Their states where they have given at
.ntion to this subject, might open n
'urce for increased revenues to meet the
9uirements of the treasury. This is -
II an improbable situation for the people r,
Delaware to face it is rather more
an possible at a no distant date. to

sonal significance. though many men
never find this out.
The first unmistakable sign that a
girl gives of being in love with you,
son, is when she begins to prefer the
| back parlor to the theater or dance.
AS long as girl wants you to be for
! ever trotting her around to some place
| of amusement, she regards you merely
as pleasant means to an agreeable
| end. You are her opera and supper
| ticket, so to speak.
She may find you entertaining,
agreeable, congenial. but she isn't In
| love with you. When she does fall in
| love for keeps she begins to prefer the
| lamp turned low in her own home to
the footlights. and her idea of a per-
fectly thrilling and exciting evening is
one spent alone with you. So when
Mabel begins to show symptoms of
staying at -home-itis you may rest as
sured that you have made very con-
siderable dent in her little heart.
The next way to test a maiden s
real affection for YOU is to try her on
monologue about your early youth.
This is. indeed, an acid test of undy-
ing affection, but it is one whose virtue
can be relied upon. No other human
being except a mans mother and his
wife will ever stand for the remi-
niscences of when he was a freckled
the bed.
Therefore If Maud does not yawn in
your face when YOU spiel along about
your youthful adventures, and IL she
eats up the stories of your schoolboy
days, you may pop the question with
the certainty that she is yours for the
asking.
A Matter of Observation
Next. observe a girls demeanor to
you when you take her out If you
would ascertain whether she Is in love
with you or merely stringing you along
until the right man appears on the
scene If she is always urging you to
spend money, If she is constantly
handing out hints about flowers and
candy. and if. when you take her to
restaurant she orders the most eX-
pensive dishes on the bill of fare.
there's nothing doing so far as you
are concerned. She's grating what
she can get in the present because she
does not expect to be interested in
your future.
On the other hand, if girl is in
love with you she's always wanting
YOU to save. She'll suggest the movies
as a substitute for the theater. and
thinks ice cream plenty good refresh

Rev. Lisse Gets Letter Giving
German Side of War Controversy

I white race, have no right whatever to
call themselves upholders of civiliza-
| tion.
1T is not true that the combat
Iagainst our so-called militarism is not
a combat against our civilization, as
our enemies hypocritically pretend 1t
is Were it not for German militar-
ism, German civilization would long
since have been extirpated. For its
protection 1t arose in land which for
centuries had been plagued by bands
of robbers, as no other land had been.
The German army and the German
| people are one, and to-day, this con-
| seriousness fraternises seventy millions
of Germans, all ranks, positions and
parties being one.
I'VE cannot wrest the poisonous
weapon-the lie-out of the hands of
our enemies. All we can do is to pro-
! claim to all the world, that our enem-
| les are giving false witness against us.
| You, who know us, who with us have
protested the most holy possessions of
man, we call to you:
Have faith in us! Believe, that we
shall carry on this war to the end as
civilized nation, to whom the legacy
of Goethe, Beethoven, and a Kant,
is just as sacred as it's own hearths
and homes.

national reputation, have experienced
that Harrisburg audiences would start
to leave the theater about the middle
of their performance. But this is not
the fate of Miss Lucy Gillette, pro-
grained as THE Lady From Delf," who
holds the last person in the audience
until the curtain has dropped on her
very last feat. The curtain rises on
her act showing a Dutch blue setting,
representing the interior of Holland
kitchen. Miss Gillette is seen at her
fireside, knitting or something similar,
and soon she is doing a mighty clever
Dutch dance. To everybody's surprise
the act turns into a Juggling turn,
and Miss Gillette juggles everything in
sight and in a manner that is indeed
interesting to say nothing of its be-
ing sensational. ''The Lady From
Delf'' is pleasing, quick in action, and
her feats are marvellous, and one is
gone through right after the other,
without ever miss. The artistic
staging of her act, together with her
pleasing personality do wonders
toward making the most of her extra
ordinary talents. Miss Gillette is one
of the clever cards grouped about Lew

ment on a festive occasion. She has
mercy on your pocketbook, because
she is hoping that someday it ill be
her own, and that the more economi-
cal you are in the present the sooner
you will he able to marry.
Take heed also to a maiden's con-
versation on domestic topics. AS long
as Sallie SCOTS at the kitchen, and
scorns the sewing machine, and calls
babies brats. she isn't in love with you
or any other man. But the minute a
girls falls in love she is converted to
domesticity. and she begins to take an
interest in housekeeping and to try to
learn how to sew. You'll find no bet
ter test of a maiden's sentiments
toward you than to take her up a good
cook book instead of the latest novel
the next time YOU go to see her.
If she disdainfully casts it aside. it's
a tip to you to hold your tongue: but
If she Immediately becomes absorbed
in reading the recipes, go ahead with
out fear and tell her about that little
fiat with exposed plumbing and a
papier-mache wainscoted dining room
that you've been looking at, and that
would make the cosiest sort of nest
for two.
Then There's Your Health
And here's also another sign that
never fails. Observe If the girl is wor-
rled a1out your health. 1t doeSn
make any difference whether you are
as husky as an OK and never had an
ache or pain in your life. Every
woman who loves a man believes him
to be frail infant, incapable of TAX
ing care of himself. and who can only
be kept alive by her tender solicitude.
And she is firmly convinced that he is
liable to be run over by a street car
or lost in crowd unless she worries
over him.
So take heed as to whether Gladys
Geraldine insists on your wearing rub
bers and muffling up your throat and
keepin gout of a draught and giving
up smoking. If she let's you go out
into the rain without an umbrella, and
doesn't make you telegraph if you ar
rive safely as soon as you get to
Philadelphia. she's not in love with
you. But if she telephones to know
IF you got home without being kid
naped-then, son, begin pricing we'd
ding rings. for she's made up her mind
to take care of YOU through life, and
the first thing you know you will be
giving her legal right to do it.
BY these signs and token may the
temperature of maiden's affection
be accurately gauged.

New legislation in the interest of

it is declared that the Booher- Hensley
bill. intended to prohibit contract con-
Wet labor, as well as the Peters bill
which is identical with the LaFollette
bill in the Senate providing for an
eight-hour day for women and girls
who work in the District of Columbia,
is scheduled for early action. The anti.

mittee on Labor in discussing the sub

dictates that such employment should
