Why Ewes Sparkle,

Merriment causes a frequent move
ment of the eyelids up and down. and
as 1t is the function of the eyeIid to
release tear each time il comes
down. the repetition has the effect of
covering the eye with considerable
moisture.
The light shining on this moisture
gives the sparkling effect.
Inasmuch as the merry appearance
OF the eye is caused by tears, we are
apt to shed them from laughing as
well as from crying. Tears are init.
mately associated with our merry and
our sad moods.

rFNtiF charge OF nexcusable carelessness the

It is shocking now to find that in the statute en-

PAN AMERICANISM
The Second Pan American Scientific Congress
BY Levin swEsett AS Secretary CONGRESS

States. This Congress was well attend
ed by visiting delegates from the United
States. On its adjournment, entirely
unsolicited on the part Of the latter,
Washington was designated as the place
of meeting of the second congress.
This honor has a singular appeal tol
our nation at this time. The present
European war has brought the western
hemisphere suddenly face to face with
grave economic problems that invite the
serious attention of scientists and eX
perts in the various fields of applied
science.
The Scientific Congress will conccrnl
itself with the constructive discussion
of these as well as with the contrihu
tions in the domain Of pure science
wherein great advance has been made
since the last congress in Santiago.
Chile. Science is cnmprcnensively de-
fined by the congress and includes. un-
der nine heads, such main subjects as
anthropology, astronomy. meteorology
and seismology; conservation of natural
resources. agriculture. irrigation and for
estry. education, engineering, interna-
tional law, public law and jurisprudence,
mining and metalurgt, economic geol-
ogy and applied chemistry. public health
and medical science, transportation.
commerce. finance and taxation.
The significance Of the congress.
through the Importance of the above
subjects is greatly enhanced through
the international reputation Of the per-
sons chosen TO arrange for the program
of the different sections of the congress,
most of whom have an intimate first
' hand acquaintance as we'll with the local
resources, development and scientific in
torest in the various Latin American
countries.
Washington offers unusual advantages
for a congress of this nature. II enjoys
an enviable distinction among the world
capitals for the keen scientific interest
and investigation in its various Federal
bureaus. the varied and extensive nature
of its libraries and museums, the beauty
of its buildings and the growing impor'
tance of detached but semi official insti
tutions and bureaus engaged in work Of
international scope. Among these none
occupy a position of greater Importance
than the Pan American Union, the gov
erning board Of which, composed of the
diplomatic representatives of the par
ticipating Latin American countrie
with the Secretary Of state of thu
United States as ex-officio chairman, hal
signally honored the Second Pan Ameri
can Scientific Congress by authorizing
the use of ITS beautiful building for thu

,, of the President and Secretary Of Stat
J, of the United States. authorized to ac

. Pan American Union, the Honorable
r John Barrett, who has doubtless don
more than any one American in the es
tablshment Of commerce and comit,

world; whose good fortune 1t has ais

BRYANs RECEssIONAL.
rom the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover STATE Seutlnel.
BRYAN is out. II would have been
better for Wilson II Bryan had never
been in. The hesitating, uncertain
action of the administration in dealing
with the Mexican situation, resulting
in confusion worse confounded, and
bringing US into war with that coun-
try-all to no purpose, was no doubt
due to the Bryan influence. Now that
a strong man is at the head of the
Department of State we may expect
better things all around. War is stu
pendous crime. Peace is the duty Of
nations. But if nations go to war
and have no regard for peaceful ma
tions. then a big policeman with a
big stick is needed. There is force
in the quaint old saying that IF cur
clap his tail between his legs and
runs away. every other cur will yelp
and snap at him, but il he will bristle
up little not dog will dare TO
touch him"
Bryan left the cabinet and the gov
ernment service at the most critical
moment, when his action is likely TO
be misunderstood by both Germany
and England, which may make it
more difficult to reach a right under
standing with these great nations. II
is a pity that Bryan's great ego would
not permit him TO see great things
when there was nothing in the way but
/ bis own minute self held so close tC
/ his eyes that all other vision was eX-
cluded Bryan was ready to sanction
the most astonishing barbarities anC

POLITICAL SURPRISES.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
We hear great deal from the
friends of Senator Lee regarding the
announcement of Mayor Preston for
him for governor. but they are saying
nothing about Talbot, Lewis. and
other prominent Democratic leaders,
who were for Lee four years ago, but
have now declared themselves for
Harrington. II is bitter pill for the
Lee people that their favorite idol
has been shattered, but they will find
before she campaign is over that
there are other surprises for them,
and we want them to save their faces
by not being too brash about pro-
claiming Senator Smith is down and
out" II they will refresh their mem
cries a little they will recall that some
prophet gets II into his head about
once a year that the Senator Is down

for about twenty years. Our esteem

THE TEST OF CITIZENSHIP.
rom the SUNDAY Star

From the Sunday Star.
When Mr. Bryan found himself out
of Office through the acceptance OF his
resignation by President Wilson he
declared that "as an independent citi-
zen," he would devote his interests
now 10 the attainment of universal
peace and TO prohibition. His an
nouncement was read with interest by
the entire country; the first acts in
his program have .-een received with
righteous Indignation. Bryan has not
acted as IAN independent citizen" OF
the United States. but as a disloyal
and altogether unpatriotic resident.
who might we'll by his conduct have
been an alien rather than a natural
lied citizen.
The first duty Of citizenship is the
upholding Of the best interests of the
nation, and in lining his forces against
the administration, in opposing the
policies which the administration be-
lieves are for the good of the nation
during the present period of stress,
William Jennings Bryan is acting in
manner entirely contrary 10 the die
tates of good citizenship. There are
no two courses for any American to-
day: there is one only, the loyal sup
port of the administration that Ameri-
cans have chosen TO handle their af-
fairs. Party politics, personal inter
ests, individual differences, all go by
the board when the nations welfare
is imperiled.

THE SITUATION is MIsUNDERsTOOD.

\ T has to the knowledge of of those di-
reotly interested in working out the plans for
rejuvenated Delaware College that the impression pre-
walls Of the rural districts that when the plans
have been carried out the institution will be great
burden upon the State and its people.
That impression is wrong. With the Federal aid
and the endowments that assured, the college
will be financed to such extent that the demand
upon the state for funds viii be little if larger
than at present In fact in well-informed quar-
ters suggested that the Delaware College will
be less expensive the State than the old college
has been and infinitely efficient educational
factor
II is not the present purpose TO attempt TO build up
In Newark another Princeton Harvard or Yale or TO
do anything that will impair destroy the democratic
nature of chief educational institution Instead
studious effort will be made maintain an nstitu-
tion that will retain its democracy but gain largely
n efficiency The effort Of President Mitchell his
associates viii be to make the college blessing to.
and not burden upon the State.
We think 1t wel that this be understood now, to the
end that those who have been led to believe that tho
plan Is to convert Delaware College an educational
elephant that will the substance Of the State may
have their minds dsabuesd and take more friends

wILMINGTON's coon FoRTUNE.

xHTILNINGTON is fortunate. II has the pleasure Of
w entertaining the Pennsylvania Retail Coal
Merchants Association II is holding its eleventh
cnnua convention in The Playhouse. Hundreds Of
delegates present. Four States are represented.
They are Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Maryland and
Delaware. It will be seen, therefore, that the name
Of the organization is too small to cover the scope Of
its operations And yet. it would be difficult to give
to the association a that would express It all
and at the time. be devoid of clumsness.
The association was induced to hold its convention
here by certain of the local coal dealers The propo-
sition was advanced about a year at its last an
nual convention. Edward r. Pusey- Of the
leaders in the movement The difficulty of the task
may recognized when it is stated that up to that
time no convention of the association had
been held outside of Pennsylvania We congratu-
late them upon their enterprise and persuasive elo-
quence They have done something that is good for the
city. II viii assist materially in putting II on the
map. The organization is composed of many fine men.
They are prominent in business in the four States
named An intelligent exchange of thought is charac-
teristc of their conventions The meeting that is be-
ing held here is so largely attended that It will be
fully up to the recognized standard in thet respect
Mayor Howell welcomed the delegates in behalf Of
the city Since he has been Mayor he has performed
tho social side OF his official work with praise-
worthy grace and tact II displayed once moro
yesterday The good impression made upon the vs-
itors BY the heartiness of his greeting was plainly
manifest in the response The Mayor made 1t clear
that he regarded himself being exceedingly fortunate
in having TO perform, one of his last official acts
pleasant Of bidding the coal dealers from the
four States make themselves at home and TO obtain
from their short stay in Wilmington the fullest possi-
hle measure of enjoyment
What Mayor Howell said expresses the sentiment OF
the community. II is well pleased TO have the coal
men here It hopes they will see their way clear to
come again and become better acquainted While
Recognizing the fact that, with many cities repre-
sented in the membership the conventions held here
cessarily will be far apart the hope is general that
the just claims of Wilmington will be recognized fully
in the future and that when next it Whining
tons entertain the organization, other cit,
will attempt deprive it Of the pleasure of perform
ing that hospitable function.
