Dies as She Sees Grandson

Nine-year-old Dominick Droco, of
New York, was in hurry to get
back to school after lunch. He dash
ed out of his home at 303 West
Thirty-ninth street, planted a part
ing kiss on the cheek of his grand
mother, Mrs. Constantine Fabbiano,
sixty years old, who was summing
herself on the sidewalk, and grabbed
the end of a rope trailing from
passing motor truck.
This mode of locomotion gratified
Dominick's desire for haste, and the
grandmother smiled at the young
ster's eagerness to return to his
studies.

Search for Lost

fore his sudden death from influenza
last fall, was said to have buried
large quantities of loot in the noun
discontinued, with the location of the
treasure still mystery. 1t was re-
ported that Garcia buried much of
his loot in a labyrinthian cave near
Penjamillo, Michoacan, and the peo-
pie of that village for months have
maintained an enthusiastic but futile
search for it. A similar search was
made in the state of Durango where
Tomas Urbina, another bandit, was
said to have hidden large amount

Paris Establishes New War Library and
Museum to House All Mementos of World War

Visitors in Paris now are attracted
by a new institution created as a
result Of the war. It is the Biblio-
library and museum-of the French
government. The establishment is of
private origin, since Mr.. and Mrs.
Henri LIE Blanc first began collecting
printed and figured material, such as
posters, photographs, badges, ETC.,
for it. They soon found, however,
that their collection had outgrown a
their material to the government, to
be turned into permanent institu-
ton. A charter was obtained from
the council of state, and the library
and museum was transferred from
No. Avenue Malakoff to a special
not far from the official residence of
the president of the republic.
The object Of the institution is
twofold. 1t is, first, repository of
everything that may remind one Of
the phases of the great conflict, and
is open to the public: Its second
and more important object is to pro-
vide future historians Of the war
with all the material needed. The
French know that early in the war
steps had been taken in Germany to
attract historians to Berlin, and to
have them perform their labors in
an atmosphere entirely sympathe
to Germany. 1t is expected now
that they will resort to Paris rather
than to Berlin, unless prejudiced to
present the facts in light favorable
to Germany.
Even before the United States
Joined the allies, a great place was
reserved for her in the collections.
While the American government it
self was neutral, there were many
agencies at work in the country, ia
vorable mostly to the allies. So
cieties were started for the relief
of sufferers; columns of periodicals
were filled iwth expressions of opilI-
ions and controversies relating to the
war. All this deserved a place in
the new institution. AS soon as war
was declared by the United States.
the Importance of the American sec
ton became vastly greater, so it was
decided to establish in this country
an agency to collect everything
whether official or unofficial, that re-
lates to the war activities of the
United States since 1914.
This agency co-operates with the
Smithsonian institution, which re-
ceives, as a rule, everything that
originates with the government Of
the United States.

SAVE SEED WHEAT

The yield of wheat this year will
be somewhat disappointing in many
sections of the State. There is a wide
range in the quality OF the grain and
many farmers will be compelled to
purchase their seed wheat this fall.
The demand for good seed will prob
ably be far in excess of the supply
unless those growers who have grain
of high quality will hold a portion of
it for sale for seed purposes. There
is considerable wheat of excellent
quality, as good as is found any year.
These stocks should be held. Close
investigation has shown that practic-
ally all of the fields of smooth wheat
are of inferior grade. Some of the
fields of bearded wheat will not yield
as we'll as usual but they are far less
damaged by the unusual seasonal con-
ditiOns than the smooth. The Miracle
or Stoner, bearded variety, has come
through the season with better yield
than any smooth sort under the same
conditions. The Red Wave and Penn
sylvania. Blue Stem are two of the
smooth varieties that are giving very
poor yields.
While it is true that the fertility of
the soil has much effect on the quality
of the grain, the bearded sorts, taking
the State as a whole, will outyield the
smooth varieties.
This announcement is made at this
time so as to induce those who have
high grade wheat to hold it for seed
purposes. I

What Can Community Civics and So
ciOlOgy Give to the State?

Community civics is the business OF
living in a civilized group. If we are
to be more progressive each day, i. e.,
to be able to meet the various ext
gences of a great day, we must always
be studying the political, social, eco
nomic, civic and ethical relations
which deal with humanity. Then 1
must invariably ask, what is human
ity? l am quite sure we are all will
ing to admit that humanity means all
of the people, not the rich nor the
poor separately; but it means all of
the various peoples of the world. Then,
what is a person? A person is a liv
ing, growing, conscious human being
ever struggling for ascendency, work
ing with nature, which is the inert,
passive, but persistent element, in
fiuencing man very profoundly at
every stage of his development. Man,
having the natural conditions and
forces to combat against, must never
theless keep in mind the great idea
Of the day which is toward a better
understanding of our times, thank God.
We also notice in our definition that
community civics is living in a civil
lied group. What is it to live? How
can we live, not merely exist? A
group of persons can, however, have
very primitive ways Of doing things,
such as the Indians and savages have,
perhaps; yet they must have a COM
mon purpose and some common Gus
toms. But people in a civilized group
must have more than a common, pas
sive interest for others; they must
have formulated laws based on con-
stitutions or charters-those laws
which give great privileges and oppor-
.unities to all the people.
Sociology and community civics will
give to this state, if studied carefully,
men women and children who will
'eally feel that they belong to the
State. Each will have his or her COM
,onent part to perform. The people
must look after each other to see that .
he morale is good; to see that the .
olitical relations do not antagonize :
movements; and to see
hat the civic and ethical conditions
re the very best-the most commend

LOOKS FOR MUCH GOOD
FROM GIFT TO SCHOOLS

Declaring that Delaware sadly needs
improvement in its public school sys-
TEN, especially in the rural districts,
Senator Ball said that Pierre S. du-
Pont, in laying aside a trust of two
million dollars for this purpose, had
done a service of inestimable value to
the people of the State.
81 agree that ii many sections OF
Delaware the public schools are not
what they ought to be-" said Senator
Ball. THE last legislature passed a
law which, if made fully operative,
ought to go a long way toward curing
this evil. Mr.. DUPONT has taken the
lead in this matter and l believe this
example will result in the moderniza-
tion of scores of schools in Delaware.
"One thing I like about the gifts of
Mr.. DUPONT is that he does not dis
criminate against the colored race. An
educated colored community is in
finitely better than an uneducated col
ored citizenship. OF course, the same
truth holds with the white population"
Senator Ball said he hoped that the
school authorities in every part Of
the State would cooperate with Mr.
dupont to the end that the best possi-
BILE use will be made of his gift.
Il don't think it will be possible to
find a school district in the State
which will be unwilling to meet the
conditions of Mr.. duPont's gift by ap-
an amount of money equal
to that which will be given to it from
the fund set aside by the generous
donor" said Senator Ball. "I would
be greatly disappointed if such lack
of appreciation should be displayed
by any community"
Senator Ball said the educational de-
mands were greater in some Delaware
districts than the financial ability of
those districts to meet them.
"The money set aside by Mr.. DUPONT
will assist these communities in meet /
ing such demands" continued the jun
ior Senator. Delaware should have
no illiteracy. Every child /
in the State should enjoy the advan-
tages which an education affords.
am glad to find this truth recognized I
by so eminent citizen as Mr.. dupont. [
Money devoted to such a purpose is I
never wasted"
