EAST'S WOMEN STICK
TO OWN DRIVE PLAN
Middle West Methods and Use of
Children in Campaign for Lib
erty Loan Frowned Upon.

The Womens = Liberty Loan committees
of the Third Federal Rcscrve District, OF
which Delaware is a part, are on record
rs against the so-called Minneapolis plan
for selling bonds, and the Use OF children
for ho,re-to-house canvass to that end.
They also arc firm in their determination
to cooperate with the mems committees
in every community, so that the work
NAV progress with everything working
smoothly and to the best advantage.
A resolution against the Minneapolis
plan WAS adopted by the conference OF
the Womcn's Liberty Loan Committee
of Pennsylvania. yesterday, at It's closing
session. This was done because they do
not approve of the plan itself, and be-
cause they felt that as the Third Federal
Reserve District had been moro successful
in the last drive than the middle West, 1T
would be better to continue along the
same lines. II also was felt that this new
plan takes the soul and spirit out of
Liberty Bond selling, because it appor-
tloEs so many bonds 10 each man accoru-
ing to his wealth.
II is along the line, although in not
quite the same way, as the tabulntions
made by the labor unions by which II IL
shown Just how much n man earning n
certain weekly wage can buy, This plan
ru,s the drive OF it's competitive spirit
II was stated by adv cates of it, how
ever, that it works we'll in pro-Gernan
districts. because those who refuse when
it il positively known that they can buy
Liberty Bonds arc threatened with being
listed "a pro-Ccrmans, and this usually
brings the dsrIrcd result.
Why cHIL pREN ARE yRowNEp uroN.
As for the children, the women think
that they are not sufficiently developed
with a sense of responsibility for bond
selling, and that it should be left to older
and wiser heads More than that the
present business of the children is To go
to school. and there get ready TO take the
places Of those who are bearing the brunt
of the present tmes.
Lewis II. Parsons. manager of the
Thiri Federal Reserve District, addressed
the women workers yesterday, and told
them that tremendous task IL before
them. Both the number Of subscriptions
to bc gained and the amount each person
is able to buy. loom large ON the cam
paign. II is not only what each person
has in bank with which to buy bonds, but
what he can pay for within six months.
There il "a much meney IN the country
now 4. there WAS when the other loans
were fioated and there IS no reason why
the drive should not be tremendously
successful.
The Delaware women who were IN
attendance at the conference were Mrs.
Henry Ridgely Of Dover, State chairman,
Mrs Otbo Nowland, chairman for Will
mington. Miss Leah Burton of George
town, Mrs. William Tutherly of Laurel,

there is a spark Of race pride N your

Rather let us remember that the index

THE DAWN OF PEACE

Put off, put off your mail, 0 kings,
And beat your brands to dust!
Your hands must learn a surer grasp
Your hearts better trust.
Oh, bend aback the lance's point,
And break the helmets bar;
A noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war.
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The glittering hosts increase
They GOMEZ They come! How fair
their feet
They come to publish peace.
And victory, fair victory,
Our enemies are ours!
For all the clouds are clasped in light,
And all the earth with flowers.
Aye, still depressed and dim with dew;
But wait little while,
And with the radiant deathless rose
The wilderness shall smile.
And every tender living thing
Shall feed by streams of rest;
Nor lamb shall from the flock be lost,
Nor nursing from the nest.
John Ruskin.

INSURANCE FOR FIGHTERS

The treasury department is making
every effort to have every member
of Americas fighting forces take adj
vantage of the government insur-
ance plan, which Secretary McAdoo
asserts to be "the most just and hui
name provision ever made by any
nation for its soldiers and sailors"
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having passed
the third billion mark in the total of
policies written and there are many
military units in which every mem
Der has taken insurance.
The automatic insurance provided
by the law is only partial and linn
tied protection, payable only to wife,
child or widowed mother, and ceases
after February IL, 1918. 1t is i'm
portant, therefore, not only to the
soldiers and sailors of the country
but to their families and dependents,
that before that date they avail them
selves of the full government protec-
ton, which can go as high as S10,-
900 and is payable to a wife, husband,
child, grandchild, parent, brother or
sister
The law also provides for the re-
education and rehabilitation of the
totally disabled and monthly compen-
sation to those disabled.

WARNING To KICKERs

st. Peter sits at the heavenly gate,
his hands on the strings Of the Tyre,
and sings a low song as he patiently
waits for the souls of those who ex-
pire. He hears in the distance a cho-
rus Of songs swell from the foot Of
the heavenly throne, and he smiles
as the music is waited along, and
MARBLES a lay Of his own: "There is
room in this region for millions Of
souls who by sorrow and woe were
bereft; It's for those who have suf-
fered the melody rolls, but the kick
er must turn to the left. There is
room for the people who, when they
were young, persisted in sowing wild
oats, yet doomed up the town with
sinew and tongue, but the kickers
must 90 with the goats. There is room
for the people who pointed with
pride to the beauty and growth Of
their town, who kept singing their
praises aloud till they died, but the
kickers will please amble down.
They'd say the music was all out of
tune, and the angelic robe hand me
down, and they'd send for jeweler
up in the moon to sample the gold in
their crown. So while there is room
for a million Of souls who by sor-
row and woe are bereft, we want no
complaint of the music that rolls,
SO the kicker must turn toward the
eft.-Selected.

HOW HOT WEATHER COMES

During an exceedingly hot spell the
weather forecaSters in Washington,
watching for an indication of the
breaking up of the abnormal weather,
keep one eye on the Atlantic ocean
and the other on the Pacific. Slight
changes in the barometric conditions
in the West Indies and the Azores
combined with changes in Honolulu
and Alaska, may be the forerunners
of resumption of a normal condi-
tion in the United States.
In the summer, as the land heats
up, the ocean remains considerably
cooler than the continents. So mass
es Of cool, heavy air accumulate over
them, eddying about a center in the
direction taken by the hands of a
clock. These great eddies show high
barometric pressure, and so are called
thighs" In the summer months they
usually occupy definite position,
with little shifting. When this is the
case the season is normal.
But let them shift a few hundred
miles, and they play hob with the
weather of the Mississippi valley,
Last summer, for instance, the Pa
cific high was north Of its usual place,
and it poured down cool air from the
northwest over the great plains, and
produced cool, wet season. But let
the Pacific high retreat toward Asia,
and the Atlantic high move toward
the Carlins, and the plains are de-
luged with hot winds from the south,
pumped up b. the whirl Of the high.
The Washington observers have
only few reports from the ocean
to base their predictions on-too few
to make sure of the results, But if
they find indications of shift in the
positions of these oceanic highs, then
they begin to be hopeful Of break
up of the hot weather. When they
report on Saturday afternoon shat
there is no present sign of a change,
that means that the highs show no
disposition to get back to their prop
er places. Kansas City Star.

WAR SAVINGS

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps are the most democratic OF
investments, and America expects ev-
cry American to show love of re-
publican institutions by investing in
this democratic security. The aggre-
gate amount of the investments and
the number of investors in these War
Savings securities are in a way the
answer of the people of this great
democracy to the call of the cause
of democracy throughout the world,
and vindication of civilization and
humanity.
They afford every person, however
humble and however small his means,
the opportunity to contribute his
part. to do his bit, in this great
struggle against the military masters
Of Germany who seek to dominate
the world in contempt Of justice and
right and freedom, and without con-
science and without mercy.
Surely every American desires to
have part in the defeat of autocra-
cy and the success of liberty and
right.
