General 7. c. du Pont
Returning to Politics

Wilmington, Del. April 15.-Is Cen
eral I. Coleman du Pont going to take
an interest in politics? The General
has not said so. and just now he is in
New York, where he cannot be asked
by the local politicians. There are
rumors that he will get back into the
harness.
General du Pont got out of politics
without getting completely out His
health was poor; his business as the
head of the big powder company re-
quired his attention. and he did not
have the time nor the inclination to
devote to political fights. He refused
to be chairman Of the state committee
longer and presented his resignation
as a member of the Republican ma
tional committee. but It has never
been accepted. The state committee
says that it is incumbent upon the
national committee to act, and ii is
unerstood that the national committee
claims is is the place of the state
committee. AS neither committee is
anxious to be without the services of
the General. nothing has been done.

the dead are foreigners. whose homes

The street car. one Of the largest in

to have been inexperienced misunder-
stood his meaning. He applied the
power and the car ran rapidly down

Zeppelin Again Visits

London. April Il, 1926 p. NJ
England experienced a second Zeppe-

airship made an extensive fight over
the northeastern coast in an abortive
attempt to damage shipbuilding works
along the river Tyne. With the ex-
ception of negligible damage to prop

cities and towns in this part of Eng

corded, with bombs falling near a

When One Goes A-Visitin9

One man known for usually keeping
still and letting the others talk ex-
presses himself freely concerning one
OF his wife's school friends who
visited them. He claims that when
she was not writing letters she was
waiting for the postman or complaining
about the weather. He VOWS he never
IN his whole life had heard so manv
different weather complaints as that
one woman could evolve. Ones host Is
not responsible for weather conditions
yet visitors seem to have a way Of
thinking SO.
And how superior is the English Gus
tom OF expecting guests to leave at the
very time stipulated in their invitation.
In inviting them they should be asked
from such morning on such a date to
remain till the afternoon Of another.
And then they should leave. Far better
to 60 day sooner than to linger and
possibly be an Inconvenience to the
hostess and q guest invited to follow
you.
And what an ungrateful attitude
that OF accepting hospitality and then
going away and repeating to outsiders
any domestic differences noticed

There is a good deal said generally
upon the subject Of remembering the
servants at the conclusion of a visit.
Naturally, Just what should be given
depends largely upon the establish
ment itself-how many servants, the
amount Of their time demanded and
the nature Of fsvors asked.
OF course no hostess wants guest
to feel that she must give something
to the maid who carries her breakfast,
hooks up her gowns and performs other
nice little services; nor to the house
man or gardener who helps with her
heavy luggage; yet the parting gift, OF
money preferably, does certainly mean
much toward keeping a pleasant atti-
tude toward visitors in general. To be
brief. it is a custom that should not be
overlooked, and at the same time not
overdone.
What a volume might be written
about leaving unpaid laundry bills,
long distance calls, telegram charges,
etc. How many guests are guilty OF
these oversights! 1t is certainly not
a pleasing reminder of parting friends.

outlined by a moderately wide rolling
collar in black satin, which, in front

Sits going halfway down the hips from
the waistline permit the sash to emerge
at either side. and, having crossed at
front centre, the ends are drawn low
at the sides and loosely knotted at

Dear Sir: Sunday, June 20. has been

fundamental way of safeguarding chill
dren's interests is to enfranchise their
mothers. The eleven equal suffrage
states lead the country in child labor
