wide, soft collar, and cuffs in gaunt-

aid in giving this model style. For

The Youthful Sports Skirts.
The new sports clothes show a
youthful note, and yet embody that
simplicity with is requisite to make
gay colors practical for everyday
wear The skirts, gathered or shir-
red at the waistline, sometimes
straight hanging, and sometimes
brought in at the ankles to give the
new barrel effect, are made of wide
variety of materials. Tussur, rajah,
pongee and similar weaves are the
mainstay for the more expensive
skirts, while cotton fabrics, in white
with gay squares, discs, balloon dots,
and in striped effects, may be had at
varying prices. Cretonne which has
had such a vogue for smocks and
trimmings in seasons past is pressed
into use again this season for these
same sport skirts. They are often
made crosswise of the goods so that
the selvage of the cretonne is used
instead of a hem, and the other sell
wage edge makes a heading around
the waist
The Trend pf Summer Blouses'
Never has there been greater
variety of styles for separate blouses
than there is this season. 1t makes
very little difference what type of
waist you like best; if the sleeves
have the proper look and the collar
is we'll designed you may be able to
wear it. The Russian and peplun,
effects, in Georgette, chiffon, crepe
de chine and satin are having a won-
derful vogue, but so are the waists
which come only to the waist and
tuck themselves modestly beneath
the skirt band. A very new mode OF
trimming waists of crepe de chine is
to have collar, cuffs and belt not of
contrasting but of the same colored
linen. Organdy waists are being
combined with silk and satin over
blouses. A novelty in waists and
opo which ic pooct nractipa1 aS we'll
is the blouse of fine gingham for
sports. Blouses of this type are made
up in stripes and checks which re-
mind one of children's rompers and
play frocks. Sometimes they are
combined with white pique. l saw a
very pretty pink one recently which
had a white pique vest with the fronts
of the waist cut in scallops and stitch
ed into the vest.

THE STATE BOULEVARD

Why should the State of Delaware
worry over the building of a State Road
through the length of ths State when
General T. c. dupont has offered to
build, and is now building, boulevard
which will be presented to the people
without dollar cost? With magnif-
Gently built highway, which would cost
General dupont probably $5,OO0,OOO to
complete, the State of Delaware would
be possessed of boulevard running its
entire length, and the only responsibility
attached will be the care and mainten-
ance by Highway Commission to be
created by the legislature. The ac-
ceptence of this great gift from T. Cole
man dupont means, that the people of
Delaware, if they desire to embark in
building State highways, would have a
tangible and well constructed boulevard
extending through Delaware to begin
with, and as an important result of this
gift, no bonded debt with annual inter
est to be paid. The building of the
boulevard after the plans of General
dupont would be blessing to Delaware
in future years. 1t has proved bless
ing already to one-half of Sussex County
and no one now condemns or opposes its
construction. Milford Chronicle.

PROFIT in MUSKRATS

Saturday last marked the ending Of
the trapping season for muskrats on the
inland marshes. and the trappers, from
New Castle to Bombay Hook, are several
thousand dollars richer than they were
when the season opened, December L.
The season has been one of the most
successful for many years, both in num-
bers and prices.
One of the most productive marshes
in this area is that of the Hagan fur
farm, near Delaware City, owned by
Wibert Rawley of Leipsic and trapped
this year by lanes Smith and ''Preach-
er" Rawley, the latter a retired preacher
and brother of the owner.
During the season these two men
caught 3,573 muskrats, probably more
than any other two men trapping the
same number of acres. They sold $500
of the hides at an average of A cents
each, and have the remainder on hand
The meats" found ready sale at 10
cents each.
The two men caught as high as 235
muskrats in one day. During the season
they lived in cabin on the ''island" and
rarely left H.. They will return to their
homes in Leipsic in time for the shad
fishing season, which will be open in a
few days.

scAaoL IS WORTH 50 A DAY

Every day spent in school the chill

This statement was made by the State
Superintendent, C. P. Cary. who bases
his estimate on the official records of
the Bureau of Education at Washing
ton. Here is what he offers as proof of
the statement:
"Uneducated laborers earn on an
average $500 q year for 40 years, a
total Of $2O,O
High School graduates earn on an
average $1,000 year for 40 years, a
total Of $4,000.
This education requires IL years of
$50 days each, a total of 2, 160 days. II
,16O days at school add $40. 900 to the
income for life, then each day at school
adds $9.O2.

earnings is," says Mr.. Cary, "it tells
but enc side of the story-the money

Mary Baker Eddy Memorial

The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy.
the Discoverer and Founder of Christian
Science, erected in Mt. Auburn Gene
terry at Cambridge, Mass. was Tuesday
turned over to The Christian. Science
of Directors by Ebert S. Barlow of
New York, who had charge of its con-
struction. Over year and half has
been required to complete it. Christian
Scientists throughout the world have
contributed, as expressions of sentiment
the entire cost of over Sl50, 1000.
The memorial is of Bethel white gra-
mite and consists of an open circular
colonnade Of eight columns fifteen feet
in height surmounted by cornice and
cresting. The space inside the colon
made is to be filled with growing flowers.
The columns rest on stylObate of three
steps, which also rest, at one side, on a
broad platform Of Pompton pink granite
and at the other, which is about five
feet lower, on double fight of circular
steps. These are fanked on each side
by large pylon. The pylons were ex-
hibited a short time 60 atthe' American
and were pronounced by several experts
to be the finest pieces of carved granite
ever executed. The detail is elaborated
to an extent never before attempted in
granite; some Of the stems and leaves
are practically free-standing, so great
is the relief.
Interviewed regarding the memorial,
the architect, Mr.. Egerton Swartwout
of New York, said: 1.-The siteis singu-
larly pleasing; in fact,I question wheth-
er finer site could anywhere be found.
1t can be seen from all sides equally
well, close at hand from the cemetery
road, and from quarter of mile away
across the lake. Indeed, it is this body
of water which forms the chief beau y
of the site. There is drop approx
mately 10 feet from the level of the
road to the level of the lake, there be-
ing natural terrace on the axis of the
plot which lends itself admirably to the
architectural development of the
memorial The lake is unusually still,
and has a mirror-l like quality which re-
fleets admirably the white granite of
which the memorial is made.
GAS to the memorial think it can be
said without contradiction that, leaving
| aside entirely any artistic excellence,
such perfection and delicacy have never
been attained before in this unyieding
and enduring material. There is GER
tainly nothing in modern times that can
approach it nor, as far as | know, in
any of the monuments Of antiquity"
Mr. Swartwout designed the new Mis-
souri, State capitol and the new Federal
Building in Denver, and recently won
the competition for the new George
Washington memorial.
All that now remains to be done to
complete the memorial to Mrs. Eddy is
| planting for the landscape, which is to
consist chiefly of some evergreen plants
that will preserve their form and leaves
throughout the year, and some cedars
and rhododendrons

THE LISTENER.

Every man who does not know any
thing, and most men who do know
something, love to talk about what
they think they know, or do know.
The close-mouthed merchant, the
t'yea, yea, nay, nay" sort Of fellow,
who uses his mind more than his
mouth, will, if encouraged, talk for
hours upon any subject in which he
is intensely interested. His head is
a storehouse of information, and, al
though it may have more entrances
than exits, he will open himself to
anyone who knows how to knock at
the door of his mind.
I have a friend who, although not
literally educated, possesses more
general information to the square inch
than SO per cent of educators have to
the square foot, and that is one hun
dred and forty-four to one He OBJ
tanned this knowledge largely because
he was good listener and possessed
the ability to make others talk. II
he were riding on train he would
select from among the passengers the
man who he thought was intelligent
and carried with him a heavy stock
of information. In a diplomatic way
he would discover the strangers bust
ness or profession and the subject in
which he was the most interested.
He would turn the conversation in
that direction, asking an intelligent
question here and there, and showing
deep interest in the subject. He sell
dom failed to obtain the desired re-
suit He met all classes of people,
from the classical student to the keep
er of meat market, and from each
he drew supply of information, much
of which, naturally, was valueless. He
had sense enough, however, to realize
that he could not expect to receive
valuable information alone; that he
must be content with chaf as well
as with wheat; but from each he drew
something worth while. The worth
while he remembered; the worthless
he forgot
Conversation is, l believe, the best
medium for the obtaining of informa-
ton. Everybody has something OF his
own of which he is proud, and which
he is willing to distribute.
Bear in mind, however, that the
listener Is only half man. He must
give, if he would receive. He, there.
fore, is not only a good listener, but
q good distributor. He exchanges
what he knows for what others know,
plays game of mutual winning, Civ.
ing what he can afford to spare, and
taking from others what they are will.
ing to distribute.
Social as well as business life is
based upon exchange.
Education does not consist of receiv.
ing and Of not distributing.
If you give freely to others, they
will as freely give to you.
Conversation, rightly turned, leads
to profit, and Is that kind of work
which is both recreation and business.
While you should give the prefer.
ence to the acquiring of information
which is directly in your line, do not
confine your mental receipts to that
alone. Familiarity with general af
fairs, even though many of them may
not be of direct benefit to you, broad
ends the mind and makes you better
able to use that part of the informa-
tion received which is a part and par.
eel of your Notwithstanding.
Don't be afraid of knowing too
much.

and a new law was given us. If
there was any demand for the
change we failed to hear of it.
But we got tbe change all the same
and the new law is proving very
discOuraging and under it the good
roads spirit has about disappeared.
Very little work was done on the
roads last year, and it has been
many years since they were
in worse condition than they are
now, if the reports we receive
are to be relied upon.
The people are not willing to
vote taxes with which to build
roads and they will not build them
without pay, so about all we can
do is to build sentiment for good
roads and await results.
