This is "Groundhog Day" and Mr..
Arctomys Monax most assuredly saw his

and winter will last six weeks longer
Matters about the Wilson Line wharf
were enlivened this morning by a
grounding in the person Of Samuel
Grossman. a clerk in the Office.
Grossman was appointed ground
hog last night and ordered TO stay
indoors and not come out, so that the
Wilson Line at least would see the
end Of winter If their ground hog
didn't sec his shadow, even n he had
to stay indoors. But Sammy didn't
understand what a ground hog was,
and what was meant by the orders
Of his fellow workers. He ventured
out this morning and was immediate
~ nabbed by other men about the
place. He was cranimed into a small
locker. that gave the unfortunate
Samuel little breathing space. Then
the locker was thrown on a truck and
Sam was wheeled disrespectfully
about the wharf for about a half
hour But It was a happy feeling that

COST OF PRESENT
SYSTEM TOO LOW

Changes in the school system Of
Wilmington as favored by the Rotary
Club i'm a resolution adopted at the
meeting yesterday comprise three
main points, q five-member board Of
members elected at large; the Board
of Education to have power to de-
termine its budget for current annual
expenditures within the maximum
limits fixed by law, and to have, the
power to issue bonds for permanent
Improvement within well-dehned
statutory limits.
A report made by a committee OF tho
club goes into considerable detail IN the
matter Of the proposed changes. Tie
report states there is no doubt IN the
minds Of members OF the committee
that some sort of change should be
made in the present Estem," and gives
many reasons for this opinion. Among
these ere present "limited capacity OF

physical education; lack Of facilities fol

ences in children and AN inadequate

risk her life to guard her, and all that
her we'll meant efforts amount to is
Just shutting poor Mary off from her
opportunities in the world.
There are women who never marry
because they are cehbates at heart.
| They stay single because they prefer
their liberty to any man. Domestic
ity and children have no attractions
for them, and they find in spinster'
hood the condition Of life that most
appeals to them.
These are bachelor women in con-
tradistinction to old maids. The old
maid is the woman who wanted to
marry, and for some reason or other
has not married. To her, husband and
home and children are the only words
that spell happiness, and, lacking
these, she is miserable no matter
what else she has. Her world is
bounded by a wedding ring, and If
she never gets this all the balance Is
cinders, ashes and dust.
This type of woman has no impos-
sible ideal Of husband. She doesn't
ask very much of a man except that
he shall be man, and when she does
get married and lives happily ever af-
forwards, she almostNalways can lay
the blame at the door ,of her med
ding family.
Sometimes she has had a mother
whose fierce maternal jealousy has not
been able to brook the thought of her
daughter loving some man better than
she does her mother and leaving her
daughter to 60 away with him. Such
a mother will make every young man
who comes to the house so unwelcome
that he will not repeat his visit.
She will hover around her daugh'
ter so closely that no young man has
chance to get acquainted with the
girl, much less to become sentimen-
tai. and if, in spite of too much moth
er the girl does get engaged, mother
never rests until she breaks the en-
gagement off. OF course, she will tell
you that she wants her girls to marry.
but she wants them to wait until they
are old enough and the right man
comes along, but she considers any
thing under so too young for matri,
mony. and the right man would have
