A CURIOUS BLANKET
Miss Hodge Has Woven Quaint
Navajo Indian Pattern
A THRILLING THUNDER STORM

Miss Eliza Hodge, of Elwyn, Pa is
being warmly welcomed by a number of
her many friends in this town and
vicinity.
She has been spending few days in
Middletown as the guest of Miss Jodie
Biggs and Of Mr.. and Mrs. Burris and
with Mrs. William Bradford, of Mary
land.
Miss Hodge is showing her friends a
wollen blanket which il both beautiful
and curious, having been woven by her
self after quaint Navajo Indian pat
tern.
1t is skillful fac-simile enlargement
of small pattern received by her from
Arizona representing the Indians idea
of thunderstorm, wherein the black
zig-zag figures are the lightning, the
red the fire, and the black masses the
thunder clouds.
At one end is a grotesque figure in
black and white with four legs, head
and tail representing the Evil god
OlllHSCJ anu near HiIIl III WutIe CIldJ
mysterious symb9l-the Swastika which
has been found all over the world in all
ages from the cave-man to modern saw
ages dwelling in the remotest isles.
The predominant color of the blanket
is red, and an encircling border of
walls of Troy, in white which in
closes the whole pattern, including
figures in black shaped like the letter
''T'' and it's reverse 81" alternating
between the walls, symbolizes the
triumph of the Good White Spirit over
the Evil Black One.
Miss Hodge is in charge of the weav-
ing and basket-making department at
Elywn, where there are HOO inmates,
and gives her hearers many very inter-
esting accounts of that useful Institu-
tion and its charges, the boys and girls
being educated there and taught manual
trades, music, art work etc. The head
of this famous Institution is the emf
nent alienist and physician, DR.. Martin
W. Barr, formerly resident of Middle
town, who is not only well known but
greatly esteemed by its citizens.

A VERY FOOLISH LAW
Nonresident Truck Owners Must
Have Delaware License
THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE RELTFE

The Transcript is requested to call the
attention of its readers to the following
WARNING" which appeared, Aug
ust 18th, on the editorial page of the
Evening Journal. 1t came to late for
any expression editorally of The Tran
scripts views, and so we say here that
in our opinion it is an ill-advised viola
ton of the interstate comfy that should
hold between state and state-one, in
deed, that may return to plague the in
ventor--our own state. 1t is one more
of the many foolish laws passed by the
late legislature. All civic organizations,
Automobile Associations. etc, should
at once begin campaign demanding
its repeal at the next legislature as
being law neither just nor wise.
'"There should be concert of action
by the daily and weekly newspapers,
the automobile associations and the
civic organizations in the cities and
towns of Delaware and those in the
neighboring counties in Pennsylvania,
New jersey and Maryland to warn non
resident corporations, firms and co-part-
nerships owning and operating auto
trucks of the existence of new fea-
ture of the Delaware automobile law
that is working great and unjust hard
ship upon such owners.
In brief that provision is that any
auto truck owned by a nonresident
corporation, firm or co-partnership must
have Delaware license before it crosses
the State boundary line; that the driver
of such vehicle must have Delaware
license, and that both the owner and
the driver of the machine are liable for
heavy fines for violation of the law.
The fact that the machine and the
driver are properly licensed in Pennsy-
vania, New Jersey, Maryland, or any
other State is no protection under this
Delaware law, which already has re-
suited in hardship, injustice and hum
iliation to nonresident owners and oper-
ators, who relied upon their home-State
licenses to protect them.
There is no prospect of immediate
relief; nor have the police and the courts
any discretion in the matter.
The provision that has worked so
much injustice and caused so much
complaint was added to the Delaware
automobile law at the last session of
the Legislature. 1t must remain there
until the next session, when it probably
will be repealed or sensibly modified.
Meanwhile, to save such nonresident
owners and operators, the concert of
action alluded to above should be had,
to nulify, so far as may be possible,
the effect of legal provision that never
should have been enacted.
To prevent reprisals by other States
against our own automobilists, it should
be made clear to officials and automo-
bilists in those other States that the
provision of the Delaware law does not
meet with the approval of the Delaware
public and that it is eager for the time
to come when it will be- possible to do
away with it for the sake of the comfy
that should exist among the States and
for the protection of Delaware's bust
ness with surrounding territory"

HOW TO MAKE SERVICES INTERESTING
There is one thing we must remember
that, if we want hearty responses in
our church services, every one must do
his or her part. Remember this in
reading the Versicles and the Psalter.
Help the choir (but keep time with
them, they leading) in singing the Can
ticles. They are set to music which
enables you to do this if you can sing at
all. And the hymns, as a rule, are
sung to familiar tunes. More and more
we want to make our services inspiring
and uplifting, and we shall try to make
it soon our part. AS a matter of fact,
people need and invariably crave this
kind of help when they come to church.
We want to find it at st. Annes'

THIRD
BASE

This third baseman has been spiked
more times than any man in the ma
jor leagues. IN his first season on
the big Circuit he was threatened with
release on the grounds that he could
not hit, although later he became a
leading batter. He made one hit that
was worth tens Of thousands Of del
lars. His method Of covering third
base Is used by no other third base
man and is much criticized by some.
