Funds Needed For
Health Work

The Statewide campaign for
$4,000 to carry on health work
among children of Delaware now
being carried on by the Recon-
sturction Commission, headquart-
ers, Tenth and Market Streets, Will
mington, should enlist the interest
of every lover of childhood. As
an emergency measure for the con-
servation of human life, instituted
during the war, health centers
were opened by the woman's COM
mittee of the Council of Defense,
at central points in the city of
Wilmington. Milk was dispensed
and demonstrations given in the
modification of milk; visiting
nurses were employed, and pre-
natal clinics were held, followed
in several instances by the estab-
lishment of regular weekly clinics
for the connection of minor ills.
Dozens of little lives have been
saved, and habits of right living
whose value is incalculable have
been demonstrated.

Newspaper Print Shortage

There is today in the hands of
the manufacturers less than three
days supply of paper for the news
papers of the country.
The Newsprint Service Bureau
of New York, representing the
paper manufacturers, has notified
the American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association that an immediate
cut of 10 per cent in consumption
is essential.
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association has notified
every newspaper publisher of
America that unless the newspap-
ers throughout the United States
reduce the average consumption of
newsprint paper by at least 10 per
cent many newspapers may soon
be compelled partly or wholly to
suspend publication. The asso-
citation has asked all newspapers
to comply strictly with the regu-
lations of the War Industries
Board for conservation of news
print paper and that every econo-
my in the use of paper be observed.
The existing crisis can only be
met by sincere and voluntary CO.
operation on the part of all ad-
vertisers and newspapers.

ANKLES AS EVIDENCE

From the New York Herald
Are ankles admissible as evidence in
the trial of charge of extortion?
The question is raised by the case OF
Mrs. Betty Inch, now before the SUI
preme court The state at this, her
second, trial has concealed from the
jurors those shapely portions of her
corporal person known as ankles by
erecting between said Jurors and said
portions a. screen made of wood and
consequently impervious to light. The
presumption outside of the court is that
at the previous trial those mute wit
nesses for the defendant adduced for
her testimony which the state was un-
able effectively to refute, especially
as she herself said:
Il never can forgive a woman stu
pidity or fat ankles"
Had such problem arisen in the
early days of Jurisprudence it is prob
able that the whole course of court
procedure woull have been changed
into the pros and cons of the COM
potency of ankles while not admitting
their credibility; Taylor discoursing al
length on theories of their relevancy
and Fritz James Stephen amending
and celebrating his definition of admis-
sibility to permit the introduction OF
ankles, when properly proportioned.
