DARBY CARS STOP
At EVERY CROSSING
Utilities Commission Issues
New Order to City Trac-
tion Company
LABOR ASKS FOR
FIVE CENT FARE

Members OF the Board OF Public
Utilities Commissioners and William A.
Heindle, superintendent Of the VIII
mlngton & Philadelphia Traction Com
pany. engaged in a discussion at the
meeting Of the Utilities Commission last
evening over the suggested re-r0uting
OF Market street cars. The commits
sion finally ordered that Darby cars
stop at an intersections on Market
street, While it was stated that this
would continue only while the cars
arc being re-rouied, 10 is likely that
the Darby cars viii stop hereafter at
every Wilmington street corner, as they
did prior 20 a year and a half ago.
The TIT occurred when IL was said
that a letter sent by the commission
TO the company some Time ago request
ing a report Of the ro-r0uling Of cars
had not been answered. Mr.. Helndle
said the report would be IN the hands
vi the commissioners before their next
meeting.
but when viii the re-routlng be
iinished?n asked Commissioner Robin
son, who had submitted the resolution
just adopted
"Oh, myr replied Heindle as he
gazed thoughtfully at the ceiling Be
fore he could proceed further Commis-
sioner Robinson shouted.
I'VE don't want any oh. mys. We
would like 10 hear something definite
Mr. Heindle Immediately replied: 81

dozed by you, Mr.. Robinson.
Mr.. lieindle explained that the length
of time required for The re-roullng Of
the cars depended on the time required
for the laying OF the new rails and
switches, saying it was a big job
The motion 10 have all Darby cars
stop at every street intersection was
opposed by p J. Isaac. president Of the
commission, who said that il might be
only a few weeks before the company's
report on the subject Is received.
William II. German, one OF the COM
missioners, seconded the motion, he
saying that Darby cars make stops at
all street intersections in Chester. The

Spiders Hard to Tame.

A spider is one of the hardest crea-
lures in the world to tame, according
to scientists who have made the at
tempt. They say the insect hasn't any
idea of time, and to seek its confidence
one must have unlimited patience.
One scientist, after gaining the conf
dence Of spider by feeding it flies,
sought to test it's senses by fooling it
with a piece Of meat, the size of a fly,
rugged up with a fiy's head and wings
The spider stopped in it's web, about
an inch from the camouf1age and later
couldn't be gotten from it's nest to
even look at the thing. Other spiders
evinced the same wariness, although
it is not known whether 1t was their
sense Of sight or smell that was keen
est. One scientist destroyed a SPIDERS
web and stayed up all night to watch
it make another, believing 1t worked
at night At 6 a. m. 1t ran out of a
window without attempting to work
before his gaze.

Only One Exclamation.

It was at an evening party. A
young man with a tall collar and pale
hair was reciting poem. He had
ground out AZ stanzas-and the end
was not yet.
"What's going on?" whispered the
guest who had just come in.
"Rhymer is letting out his latest
poem,' answered the pessimistic per-
son.
"What's the subject-the motive?"
queried the late conner.
81 have forgotten the subject" re-
piled the pessimistic person, "but /
suspect the motive must be revenge.
At least 1 can't see any other reason
for it."

nevertheless is the largest, most pros
porous and most important of them
all. Its railroads, metropolitan cities
and agricultural developments make it
one of the chief islands of the Antilles.
If Great Brtain's price for all these
islands were to be fixed at the rate
per acre paid for the Danish West
Indies it would amount to about
81, 2,5O0,OOO,OOO
Undoubtedly the islands belong geo.
graphically to the American continent.
For the past several decades the Brit
ish possessions have belonged to the
United States economically, for the
bulk Of their trade has been with
America and only a small part of it
with the mother country. Linguistical-
ly there is no choice. Sympathetical-
ly, assuming that the wishes of the
inhabitants are to be taken into con-
sideration, there is little doubt that
the islanders would vote to join them
selves to the United States. The ex-
ample of Porto Rico before their eyes,
where a poor people prospered with
American aid, is too striking to pass
unobserved. Moreover, they realize
that they are no longer the favorites
of England. The Indies under British
rule are not particularly prosperous.
Probably the production of the is
lands could be greatly stimulated un-
der American control, and with an in
creased market. Sugar, cocoa and ba-
nanas are things that everybody wants.
Strategically the position of the
British West Indies is important from
our viewpoint. The purchase of the
islands might be an extension of the
Monroe doctrine-by which Uncle Sam
sets great store.
| And what a job it would be to
straighten out the various complica-
tions of these many islands There is
now a Joint resolution before congress
appointing a commission to report on
conditions in the Virgin islands. In
the documents it is related that there
is urgent need for action. Danish GUS
toms, Danish laws, Danish methods of
judicial procedure, are still in vogue
in the islands. There Is great need
to Americanize them. The land ques-
ton needs serious attention. The ma
tives own but per cent of the land
of the islands. The rest is owned by
Danes or by those to whom the Ger
mans have transferred title. The own
ers of the land will not lease it or sell
it. This is resulting in condition
where the inhabitants of these islands
have no part in the sale of the land
and no chance to make living out of
agriculture. The great necessity is
some land law that will enable the
neople to acquire land. The Ameri-
cans. since their occupation have done
considerable work along lines of sani-
tation.
The people Of the islands feel that
they have been neglected by the Unit
ed States; that when the American
flag went up in the Virgin islands it
should have been followed by Amer
lean laws, customs, and ideals as soon
as possible.
Congress is without sufficient infor-
nation to act in these matters, and
there would be great benefit, in the
opinion Of the committee, in having
small commission visit the islands.
Arizona state miner., 1919-10-03


as this, which may be asked:
Does the United States want the
British West Indies?
Is Great Britain willing to sell them
to the United States?
Can the two nations agree on
price?
Answers to these questions will have
to be guesswork largely. 1t was first
rumored in diplomatic circles in Wash
ington in 1917 that the transfer was
being considered. Nothing official,
however, has ever been made public.
Secretary of State Lansing says he
knows nothing about it.
Giving color to the possibility of the
transfer are two facts: One is that
the United States is apparently in the
market for West Indian islands, as
shown by the purchase in 1917 Of the
Virgin islands from Denmark for $780,
100000. In this connection it is to be
kept in mind that the Panama canal
is located in this part of the world,
which fact may have something to do
with Uncle Sans apparent desire to
invest in islands off it's Atlantic ap-
proach. The other fact is that Great
Britain owes the United States about
four billions, has a national debt now
in excess Of $25,00O,O00, and is ap-
parently finding her West Indian is
lands more Of liability than an asset.
The British West Indies comprise
the greater number Of the string of
pearl-like islands that is flung like a
necklace from Florida to South Amer
lea, around that corner of the ocean
known as the Caribbean. All told,
there are some four thousand of these
bits of land, though not many more
than a hundred are populated, and
most of the islands are only great reefs
thrown up from a volcanic sea in some
by-gone day.
The British West Indies have a total
area of 1900 square miles-equal to
the states of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut. They have a population of
nearly 100000, for the most part ne
groes, but with a scattering Of a few
thousand whites and curious mixture
of other peoples from all the world
Hindus, Javanese, Chinese, Siamese,
| Christians, Mahometans, Buddhists
| and COnfucianists. Some of the islands
are sparsely settled, while others are
more densely populated than any other
region on earth except China.
