Suffrage Speaker
At Summer School

Mrs. Edna Latimer, suffrage
worker of Maryland, visited Della
ware College early Tuesday after
noon and addressed the students
of the Summer School. The
speaker emphasized the economic
changes that have taken place in
the homes of America since the
adoption of the constitution. By
way of illustration Mrs. Latimer
referred to the nine million wo-
men, in factories, doing exactly
the work our grandmothers did in
their homes; to the butter-making
and general dairy work transfer
red from the home to the great
commercial dairies; to the prepar-
alton of vegetables and fruits for
winter use, shifting to the can
neries. All of these things have
passed from the hands of the wo-
men, their regulation falling with
in the jurisdiction of the govern
ment.
The speaker produced evidence
to prove the point that women, in
order to attain their ends quickly
and satisfactorily, need the ballot.
The instance of a hundred Polish
women, beseiging the councilman
of East Side, New York, to remove
an incompetent milk inspector,
was cited. "The women, had
their plea been backed by one
hundred ballots" Mrs. Latimer
declared, would not have had
their request turned lightly aside
with the remark, Only a crowd of
ignorant Polish women"
In answer to the time-worn ar

The fear that she may pitch or
roll on leaving the roadstead is no
excuse for increasing the ballast
by storing the fair white sails in
the depths of the hold. They were
not woven to moulder side by side
with cobblestones in the dark.
Ballast exists every where. All
the pebbles of the harbor, all the
sand of the beach will serve for
that. But sails are rare and pre-
cious things: their place is not in
the murk of the hold, but amid the
light of the tall masts, where they
can collect the winds of space"

New Departments
At State Fair

Great plans are being made for
the women's department of the
Delaware State Fair which is to
be larger than ever. Two of the
most interesting sections of this
department include "Practical
Ideas and Plain Sewing" and
Work Done by Women over Sew
enty Years of Age In the first
class prizes are offered for the best
gifts for invalids, old ladies, trav-
elers, neatest and most practical
house dress, kitchen apron, romp-
ers, baby's sacque, shirt waist,
buttonholes, apron, etc.
The class affords an unlimited
field for originality as we'll as
skill, and the adoption of the
class by Mrs. J. Leslie Eastburn,
superintendent of the women's de-
partment, is the result of a care
full study of other fairs and de-
sire to build her department sure
ly and we'll.
In the class for the work Of wo-
men over seventy years of age
there are a number of interesting
features. Every year the fair
shots some beautiful specimen of
this sort of work and the increas-
ed classification is the result of
study and demand. Entry blanks,
premium lists and information
may be had upon application to the
secretary, No. l West Fifth street,
or to Mrs. J. elsie Eastburn, New
ark, Del. Al entries must be made
before August 81 and exhibits

Boulevard Contract
To Be Awarded

Ernest Palmer of Wallingford,
Pa, was the lowest bidder for the
first six miles of the T. Coleman du
Pont boulevard, which is to be
constructed between Frankford
and Millsboro. His bid is a little
more than $4,000 a mile. The
contract may be awarded this
week.
"The Evening Journal in COM
ments on the above news them as
follows:
MANY persons are Interested IN
the comparative cost of the high
est type of reinforced concrete
roadway, fourteen feet wide, that
will form the du Pont boulevard
and supposed to endure for years
with practically no repairs, and
the cost of the macadam roads as
built for the New Castle County
Levy Court. The macadam roads
have ranged from $4,000 mile to
higher than $4,000 mile in
first cost in some instances, while
the du Pont boulevard lowest bic
is a little more than $4,000 mile
for the most advanced type OF
highway.
County Engineer James Wilson
when spoken to regarding the
cost of the du Pont road in Sus
sex county said today that the bic
of about $4,000 a mile for con
crete road was reasonable.
"'We must remember, how
ever" said Mr.. Wilson, "that tn
contractor has no grading to do
He is not among the steep hills O.
New Castle county and the con
tractor can afford to build a IA
foot road for $1.21 a square yard
Conditions regulate the price o
building the State roads. Their
are few roads in New Castle coun
tv where we do not have to grad
big hills and in many instance
such grading requires the use o
dynamite in order to blast ava
the rocks"
