THREE PROMINENT
DELAWAREANS
FAVOR CODE
Henry P. Scott, John S. Mullin
and Daniel Hastings Praise
Its Provisions

Henry P. Scott, member of the
commission which prepared the new
school Code, and presented it to the
Legislature, has the following to say
about the code, the needs it fills, and
the character of the opposition to it:
THE ignorance, abuse and misre-
presentation which the new School
Code is meeting in some INrts of the
State is the best possible proof If its
need. They certainly bear out the
very low educational standards which
were found to exist in the State by the
survey recently made.
81 have the greatest sympathy with
the farmers of this State because of
the succession of crop disasters of the
present year. | know how difficult it
is for them to spare funds for addi-
tional taxes, particularly this year,
and that too they require the help of
their children; but | do believe the
real men and women of Delaware,
when they understand the code, will
be willing to sacrifice themselves and
their funds for the great good of their
children.
"Our children must have as good
educational training as that given by
any State in the Union. They shall
not be Handicapped in their competi-
tion in life with the children of othe'
States.
GAS for the queer minded politicians
who are attempting to misrepresent
the code to gain, as they foolishly
think, some personal or party advan-
tage, have nothing but contempt.
They are fooling with boomerang"
John S. Mullin, another member Of
the commission that drew up the code,
is an enthusiastic supporter of it, as
is evidenced in the following state
ment:
"Does any one claim our old sch jol
system did not need revision?
"Does anyone claim We do not stand
thirty-third in the list of States edu-
cationally?
"Do we want to continue thirty
third or give to our children what
should be the greatest and dearest
heritage possible-name ely, public
school education equal to the best?
"The new School Code was prepared

Two Popular Words of the
Slang Lexicon Explained

Two popular members of our slang
lexicon are "cinch" and ''soft snap"
The latter is an obvious metaphor re-
ferring to the ease of swapping SOFT
ly, as a snap of the fingers, which, ex-
cept for the click, requires no effort.
But "cinch" is not synonymous with
"soft snap" Upon investigation of
it's origin it develops different shade
of meaning.
Before railroads had penetrated our
great Southwest or even the old stage
made it's bow, pack mules carried into
regions unsurveyed r;Ie household
goods of the travelling homesteader or
pioneer, as we'll as the family itself,
or the goods and person of the timer
ant merchant. Along the untrodden
trails which it was often necessary
to traverse. travelling was not always
smooth and steady. Mules were prone
to leave their burdens by the wayside.
To insure that all ones belongings
come in at the finish, it was necessary
in loading the mule to carefully
tighten the girth to get a good cinch,
which gave sure, safe hold.-Rocky
Mountain News.

According to one supposedly
good authority, the shoes for
which we now pay $50 will cost
US $50 next year. There are two
perfectly good reasons why this
prediction will never come true.
In the first place we have never
paid $40 for a pair of shoes, and
in the second barefooting is much
cheaper, and incidentally much
healthier, so we are told. 1t might
be suggested to the shoe profiteers
that sandals have not entirely es-
capped the memory of the race and
there's no telling what an infuriat-
ed man will do if pushed to the
wall.-Galvestion Tribune.

Dobbin on the Meat Block
VIII Be "Wearin O
the Green

Dcbbin. in his lifetime, may have
worn black or white or tan, or even
red but when he passes over the meat
block and presents himself to the
housewife in the form Of steak or
roGst or anything like that, he will be
decked in green. The meat-inspection
service of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in order to COM
ply with the provision of the law that
horse meat shall be conspicuously
marked, has decided 10 stamp the
meat with harmless green ink. The
Bureau of Animal Industry stamp is
distinctively siX-sided and bears the
words "Horse Meat"
Horse meat is likely to be on the
market in app"eciable quantities
shortly. A report has been received
at the Department of Agriculture
from Billings, Mont, that the initial
shipment of lot of about 1000 rang
horses has been received for slaugh-
ter. A report from New Mexico says
that $4,000 range horses in that State
should be slaughtered
An agricultural journal, recently
commenting on the slaughter of horses
for meat, said that the elimination Of
undesirable horses not only will save
feed for more worthy cattle and sheep
but will add hides to the leather sup
ply and increase meat stocks. De-
partment Of Agriculture experts say
that hides from range horses that
have lived in the open should be of eX-
cellent quality.

the table and the tramp was invited
to sit down and eat.
Before he finished it began to rain.
At the end of the meal he filled his
pipe and sat and smoked while wait

he had not spoken a word.
Presently Sarah noticed tears in the

was aroused. Finally she asked him
what the trouble was.
"My wife" he answered.
",She deserted me three years ago

She did not ask his name. But when

MERCY WOMEN PRODUCE
FORTUNE IN GARMENTS

More than 100000 women and girls
participated in the sewing and knit
ting of the American Red Cross dur
ing the war. Most of these workers
will be active in soliciting members
for the Red Cross for 1920, during
the ten days ending Armistice Day.
When il is remembered that these
women and girls in two years time
produced nearly $lOO,O00OOO worth of
surgical articles and garments, includ
ing more than 375,OO0OOO surgical
dressings, the fact that they are to
assist in the Roll Call is a practical
assurance that universal membership
will be achieved

MOTHERS MUST NOT DIE,
SAYS THE RED CROSS

Sixteen thousand mothers die in
childbirth every year in the United
States of America, more than are thus
sacrificed in any other country of i'm
portance in the civilized world. The
American Red Cross has announced
its belief that these mothers, the very
flower of the womanhood of America
and heroines every one, shall no longer
die through ignorance or neglect, if
the public health nursing resources of
the country can possibly be extended
to give them the necessary care. This
is one of the reasons Tor the Third

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
MENTIONED IN BIBLE

i commend unto you Phoebe, our
sister, who is a servant of the Church
which is at Cenchrea, wrote st. Paul
to the Romans, that ye assist her in
whatsoever business she hath need
of you, for she hath been succorer
of many and of myself also"
Phoebe, explains Biblical history,
was woman who went about nursing
the sick and teaching them better
methods of living Phoebe was the
first public health nurse.
Public health nursing, which is one
of the most important enterprises in
the peace program of the American
Red Cross, is not a new movement,
but it is one which heretofore has
never received its just need of atten-
ton as a factor in maintaining the
health of the nation.
Phoebe's sister in the twentieth cen
fury is the community nurse who
teaches better, cleaner living. Because
the betterment of public health is now
definitely accepted as an individual
and a community responsibility, the
Red Cross will make a definite effort
to raise the standards Of living in the
United States by urging the employ
ment Of public health nurses in all
cities, towns and rural districts, par
ticularly in those where there are no
organized public health activities A
healthier, happier America-that is
what the Red Cross is striving toward
in its Roll Call the first weeks in No
vember.

Toy submarines made of sardine cans,

work of crippled soldiers in General
Hospital No. 3. Colonia, New JERSEY,
were put on sale yesterday afternoon
at Ais Madison Avenue, the headouar-
ters of the Army and Navy Committee
of the American Defense Society.
"Soldiers lose interest in the handi
work classes established in hospitals
unless they can sell the articles thew
make" said Mrs. H. M. Ryner, secretary
of the committee. "My husband is a
wounded soldier in this hospital and
while visiting him l have had an op-
portunity to watch the progress of the
men in the occupational classes.
AT first the wounded man, who has
learned to paint tea tray or a TOW
rabbit with his left hand, is delighted.
The article is placed in the exhibition
room of the hospital for sale. Few Wis
itors go to the hospital at Colonia and
sales are slow. Soon the soldier loses
interest.
"When informed the committee here
they offered to make these rooms q
permanent salesroom for the work Of
disabled soldiers, and that is how we
started. The soldiers will receive the
entire proceeds of the sales, sufficient
to cover cost of raw materials"
Mrs. McAlister Smith was in charge
of the exhibition yesterday afternoon,
