WHY CITY MEN SHOULD GET OUT INTO THE COUN
TRY EVERY ONCE IN WHILE.

IT'S a good thing for Wilmington man to get out
4 into the country IN while.
II does him good 10 see a buhoh Of sky uninterrupted
by tall buildings and plenty Of open work fields with
cows and what-nos scattered hther and thither and
yon browsing and kicking up their heels and getting
nice and hefy for future the form Of steaks etc.
II does Wilmington good to get away occasion
ally from the hury bury and the hustle hustle Of the
city.
II is great experience for him 10 get out in the free
open expanse Of the country where you meet man on
the highway every hour and see house dur
Ing the course Of the afternoon and where the yeplng
Of shepherd dog Il herds the sheep home, bursts
upon the quiescent atmosphere like the sound Of
newse yeping Sunday popers a quiet sunday
morning
II is splendid for Wilmington man to leave the
cigar store where his pals Bill and Henry and
Jimmie and all the rest OF the gang hang out He owes
1t TO himself to every in a while get away from
the pool room where he spends so much OF his spare
time and from the busy streets where he can't help
humping into score or more Of friends on every trip
he makes and where he talks away many moments in
idle converse with these friends
il Is valuable sensation for him 10 realize how big
the countryside Is and how much ground there is hang
ing around unencumbered by the appurtenances Of city
life.
1t does him good to realize the peace and quietudc
and the solitude Of the country and 10 hear the birds

cars and the hOhkins Of autos II does him good-,ye
say-to get out into the country every once in while
And let It not be forgotten that Wilmington is sur

PLACING TIE BLAME.

is admitted that the most important piece of legs-
ation that failed at .s close NJ the Congress was
the deficiency appropriation bill containing the item OF
S7booooooo for revolving fund for tha railroad
administration.
Together with the victory bond bill. that measure
considered mpsrayely pecessary Of Enactment ip
order to avoid The calling Of extra session Of Con.
sFess AZ once
II failed, and its failure added bitterness 70 the re-
sentiment Of the President that the whole program Of
legislation had not gone through
AS the erux OF the situation cehters about the ability
Of the railroads 10 get along without further hnshea
support from the government II IS interesting TO see
wherein the blame lies for not granting Congressional
authority for the expenditure OF additional millions upon
them.
The deficiency appropriation bill first saw the light
OF day February g. exactly four working days before
the Congress 90 end.
In spite Of the fact that II had been known for months
that further assistance from the Treasury would have
be extended TO the roads, action taken until the
OF final adjournment.
Reports from the railroad administration as far back
as last July indicated that the s0oOoo0O0 revolving fund
at its disposal would be exhausted before the year
up and that new and more generous allotment would
have TO be made 10 meet the needs OF the roads under
Federal control.
Nevertheless. IN the face Of that situation the Demo-
cras Of The House, where all appropriation bills have TO
months before their appropriations committee framed
the s750OOOOOO authorization and presented it TO
the House as whole for consideration
The bill passed the House and reported TO the
Senate on March T. allowing two working days TO per-
feet the measure in that body before adjournment
In those two days. also there had 10 be taken up
other measures involving amounts greater than
those contained in the deficiency measure TO say moth
Ing Of the discussion Of the league Of nations and other
matters OF general legislation.
But, even II admit that The Republicans Of the
Senate are responsible for delaying the railroad appro
pration for two days what TO say Of the party
that permitted the Congress TO drift along for two hun
dred days or more with no definite action being taken
IN the matter?
The Democrats controlled the committees Of both
Houses they had maortes the floors Of both Houses
and could have put through the railroad bill at their
leisure had they made the effort.
But with a record behind them Of months OF proeras-
tnaon they bring their bill at the eleventh hour and
insist that II shall be rushed through with no consdero-
tion whatever
When their hystercal pahs misoarry they and their
President undertake 10 shoulder the responsibility upon
The Republicans Mr. Wilson will find that the country
be deceived by such transparent suberuges and
will fasten the blame for any difficulties III which the
roads may ind themselves precisely where it belongs

ing duty elsewhere" while his country waited for the
word that would put its legislative machinery in motion

bushels Of wheat yearly.
But Il was not for increased production Of food only

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the heir brittle, and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), Is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance Of rich
creamy lather, and cleanses the hail
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rlnses
out easily and removes every particle
OF dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
OIL The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and 1t leaves It fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulslncd cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. II Is very cheap.
and a few ounces Is enough to last
everyone In the family for months.

The citizens Of Delaware are looking

taxation measures and needed appro-
priations for many State and Wilmington
purposes.
Some Republicans want this Kent cOun-
