of John Wanamaker, with two
private lines to New York city, two
to Philadelphia and one each to
Carney's Point, the Brandywine
Shops, Experimental station, the
Poole shops and all subsidiaries OF
the du Pont Company.
It is a central telephone office
complete in itself, the largest in
the state of Delaware outside OF
the Wilmington office of the Bel
Company, and is equipped with the
most modern equipment known III
the telephone business. One CHIEF
operator and twelve assistants are
engaged in operating the new OF

CHILDREN ENJOY
CHRISTMAS TREAT
Community Committee Greet
Over Four Hundred

Children of Newark were given
the usual good time by the Christ
mas Committee, Miss Elizabeth
Crime, chairman, at the Opera
House last Saturday. Over four
hundred fifty little citizens were
present and thoroughly enjoyed
the songs and moving pictures.
The story thrown upon the screen
was one of fascination for the lit
tie folks-Old Santa himself, in a
great hurry to reach the homes of
childhood, first by automobile, then
by airship, only to fall back event
ually on the time-honored reindeer
and sleigh. Each child was pre-
sented with a stocking filled with
gifts and a candy cane.
The committee found less need
in the town than at any time since
the work has been undertaken,
Clothing, however, was presented
to a number of families.

AS Another Sees Us

Under the heading "Why Not

News" gives full ac-
count of Newark Community Com
,mittee work and says, editorially:
1T is expected that the various
organizations will m ke the
Wishes of their members known
to the representatives of each.
THAT the desires of the people will
thus be clear, and that on call of
THE committe thus instructed
Everybody will work harmoniously
| for definite, well-considered work.
| The plan in no way limits the free
dom or usefulness of any of the So
|cieties; it does give promise OF
applying to definite purpose the
full power Of the public.
There is nothing so civilizing
and broadening as the sharing OF
a common work for common
good, and the community commit
tee idea will do much to break
lown the fences between denom-
fnations and social circles. IT we
had such a committee in Franklin,
would it not save effort and money,
bring before the people for action,
bne by one, such problems as the
Improvement of the Miller-Slbley
Field, the proper housing of our

CONSUMERS LEAGUE
DRAFTS SANITARY LAW
To Insure Safety And Santa
ton For Women Workers

Miss Mildred Lane of Phila lei
phia, formerly executive secre-
rary of the Consumers League of
Eastern Pennsylvania, recently de-
livered an address at meeting at
the office of the Consumers
League of Delaware in the Insti-
tute Building, Wilmington. Mrs.
William Staniar, chairman of the
legislation committee, presided
and briefly stated that the object
of the meeting was the discussion
of a sanitary bill, which the Con-
sumers' League will present to
the next General Assembly, to in
sure safety and sanitation for the
women workers of Delaware.
Miss Lane told of her findings
last spring when she made for
| the Consumers League study of
working conditions in 81 Will
mington establishments. T h is
study was made with view to
the establishment of a placement
bureau and was confined to the
factories of the city by reason of
the fact that the league already
had a close touch with the stores
and knowledge of their working
conditions. In choosing the fac
tories to be inspected, those in
dustries were selected which en-
ployed the largest number of wo-
men, and then representative es-
tablishments in each of these in
dustries were visited. So
Miss Lane pointed out the need
for lunchrooms where injurious
substances are being used and of
dressing rooms where a change of
clothing is made necessary by the
nature of the work performed;
the lack of adequate means of re-
moving injurious dust, the risk Of
life from Tnguarded machinery,
and the absence, in several cases,
of fire escapes, thus enlangering
the lives of workers.
The bill, which has been pre-
pared by the league, contains pro-
visions for adequate toilet q
commodations and washing facil-
tiles, for dressing and lunchrooms
where the nature of the work
make such necessary-for Sc
for drinking water, for the remov
al of injurious dust and gases and
for the adequate heating, lighting
and ventilating of all places
where women are employed.
Following the reading of the
bill a general discussion was par
ticipated in by David Snellenburg
! L F. Lincoln, district traffic sup
erintendent of the Bell Telephone
Co., William Staniar of the du
: Pont Co., Frederick Brady
2 Middletown Farms, Charles H..
Grantland, child labor inspector
J. N. Sokohl, secretary of the

7 tion; DR.. Ritchie of the State

i garet H. Shearman, president; );
r Miss Clara Southwick, executive
$ secretary, and other members c
t the Consumers League, and Miss
i Mary Malone, Ten-Hour Law
: spector.
Several suggestions were refer
: red to the executive council of the
. league, after which Miss Smyth
. offered a resolution, which was
Il adopted, that it be the sense of
D. the meeting to indorse the pro-
II posed bill and to urge it's passage
y by the next session of the Gener-
al Assembly.

President Moran of the Chamber of
Commerce in his supplementary argu-
ment before Secretary Daniels in behalf
of Washington notes forcibly the fact
that this city is the deep water point on
the Atlantic coast nearest to coal and
limestone deposits, being less than fifty
miles to a great limestone supply at
Harpers Ferry, and only $50 miles from
the Cumberland coal district, with ex-
cellent rail and water connections be-
tween. 1t lies midway between the pig
iron markets of the east, so as to be as
sured of an abundant and readily
shipped supply of this material.
These are practical considerations,
which should outweigh others, of a per-
haps political nature, and should effec
lively supplement the fact that here at
the seat of government, the
United States has already proved itself
the best naval gun maker in the world.
In the same conditions why may it not
become at its capital city the maker of

Washington an Ideal Site.

II decided strictly on merit. the armor
plant question should be answered by
the selection of Washington. This city
possesses all the advantages as 10 indus
trial suitability that viii appear in the
case of any other candidate for the Sc
lection. 1t has ample rail and water
= communications it is close to the fields
OF raw materials; it is within easy reach
Of the sea 1t affords a suitable living
place for the workmen. Economically it
is exactly what the government wants
as a site for an industry which has to
do with its naval establishment. There
is. moreover, one other consideration
which must weigh heavily in the scales.
The naval armor plant should be stu
ated near the seat of government, to per-
NIT the closest inspection and superyi-
sion over the work If there were no
illustration of the value of such a loca-
tion in these terms the logic of prox-
unity to headquarters would be appar-
ent. But there is such an illustration
in the case of the naval gun foundry,
the success of which has undoubtedly
been due in very large measure to the
fact of its emplacement in Washington,
close to the department and out of the
field of politics.
IF the government can make naval
guns at Washington satisfactorily it can

Unreality,

How oft have you observed the sign,
"This is My Busy Day."
Hung up above desk SO fine
In ominous display!
How oft have you observed the man
Beneath that sign pursue
a leisurely, luxurious plan
With not thing to do!
How oft another man you'll see
With just an hour or so
From customary labors free
A-golfing gayly go,
And jauntily assume the air
OF one who finds this earth
An orb that whirls afar from care
Through milky ways of mirth.
How oft we strive to hide our joys
And silent griefs endure!
How oft the sires behave like boys
While boys seem most mature!
How oft we seek to initiate
The folk, like restless elves
Whose fancy scorns their true estate
How oft we bluff ourselves!
