BISHOP MONAGHAN
AIDS SAFETY DRIVE
Favors Educational Cam
paign TO Reduce Accidents
Among Children
TO BE TAKEN UP IN
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS

Bishop John J. Monaghan, Of the
Roman Catholic Diocese Of Wilmington
is heartily in accord with the efforts
OF the Delaware Safely Council TO eN-
tend the teaching OF safety TO the
children OF the parochlal schools or
this city. The Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil believes that the fort TO eliminate
accidents on the streets and in the
home will be greatly helped In this
community if the children Of all the
schools-public. parochial and private
are instructed in the fundamentals OF
safety work. For This reason the
Council has prepared an outline OF the
work TO be instituted in the class
rooms and has discussed the matter
with school authorities. A number OF
conferences were held with Bishop
Monaghan. and he extended his fullest
cooperation TO the work. In discuss
ing it, Bishop Monaghan said:
Il am in complete accord Win the
movement now on foot for teaching
safety to the children in the. schools.
The tremendous toll OF child life as
brought TO light by recent statistics
is not only startling TO thinking men,
but a condition which calls for i'm
mediate attention. / believe that one
of the best corrective measures is the
campaign in the schools which should
be put upon a PERMANENT basis in order
that the future generation will not be
handicapped by the untimely death OF
Gripping Of so many OF our children.
In accord with this conviction, Bishop
Monaghan authorized the Delaware
Safety Council TO furnish the pastors
OF ali the COthOlic Schools with facts
in connection with the death rate due
to accidents and 10 furnish any further
aid in its power TO help reduce the
terrible and needless death toll among
children. He further stated: 1T is
clear that accidents 10 children can be
largely prevented by teaching the chill
dren i'm the schools certain funda-
mental ideas about the causes OF acci-
dents and by inoculating in them GER
tain fundamental appreciation OF un-
necessary hazards which will later
govern their actions on the streets and
in the home. The importance OF this
subject at the present time warrants
special instruction. which can be in
iroduced into the regular studies so
that IL may become almost second ma
ture TO think before you act In this
way the older pupils will be taught to
consider the safety OF the younger
pupils and at times direct and guide
them when they are beset with dangers
instead OF. as present. so often setting
bad examples Of carelessness."

TARDY COMMUTERS
BLAME WHISTLE
When Factory "Toot" Is Late
North East Residents
Miss Train
SERVES THEM RIGHT,
CONDUCTOR SAYS

Abiding faith in the punctuality Of
the whistle Of a basket factory in North
East. Md, disrupted the entire routine
OF the inhabitants OF than town this
morning. One Of the results of this
misplaced faith was that between 30
and 10 commuters were busy giving
varied excuses to their employers for
being late, they having missed their
regular train.
It is reported that these commuters
are now talking Of taking some action
against the basket factory. What
right has a man who is supposed TO
blow the whistle at : O'Clock to being
six minutes late, anyway" one angry
commuter inquired.
Its an outrage" another commuter
replied. Here we put our entire con-
fdence in that whistle. We have been
depending on IL for months and II fails
us without any warning. ] don't think
IL ought TO be allowed to blow any
more. That whistle is getting as bad
as the mail deliveries.
For my part" a young woman who
was among those who missed the
train was heard 10 remark, IL am not
going 20 depend on the old whistle any
more. It's a mean trick and believe
the man whose duty il is 10 blow the
whistle did this purposely TO make US
miss our train"
The conductor OF the train which
pulled out OF North East without the
usual number q commuters this morn
ing took an entirely different view. He
said. anybody who has no more sense
than 20 depend on the old whistle OF a
basket factory 10 catch a train deserves
10 miss Il. Serves them right"
After the excitement over missing
the train quieted down the facts were
learned. It seems that for months
most OF the forty or fifty commuters
rom North East who use the accom-
modatlon train for Wilmington due
there at IA o'clock have depended on
the factory whistle as guidance as 10
time. This whistle, morning after
morning was heard exactly at o'clock
but this morning Il was six or seven
minutes after the hour when the
whistle blew. The commuters had
depended on it as usual and got ready
to leave home when they heard the
whistle. The result was the train
pulled out with only about ten OF the
regular passengers on board.
e The others were hurrying TO the sta
tion saying mean things about the
railroad and the box factory whistle.
They had to wait more than an hour
for the next nOrthbound train.

Right Rev. Matthew Harkins,
who recently retired from his &C
tive duties as bishop Of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Providence, to-
day rounds out a half century in
the priesthood. Bishop Harkins is
a native of Boston and is now in
his 74th year. He studied at the
College of Holy Cross, Worcester.

to study theology. After his ord
ination he visited Rome. where he
spent some months, and upon his
return to America he entered upon
his duties in the priesthood as cur
ate of a church at Salem, Mass.
From there after a few years he
was advanced to rector OF church
at Arlington, Mass, AMI in 1884
he was given charge of st. James
church in Boston. He remained in
Boston only three years, when,
upon the death of Right Rev.
Thomas Hendricksen. he was ap
pointed to the bishOpric of Prov
idence.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Old Joke on Fat Folks.

Is it true that soda baths will re-
duce flesh? Will a bath containing
EPSON salts reduce flesh? What
can be used in a bath to reduce,
if these are not effective?
MISS NJ r. NJ.
Answer-Soda baths will not re-
duce flesh. EPSON salts baths will
not reduce flesh. l don't know how
a flesh reducer could be used in a
bath. OF course one might lie in
a bath and Karell all day; and
suppose determined woman
might take her exercises while be-
ing bathed. But as a general rule
two minutes is long enough to
waste bathing, and put the other
eight minutes in reducing by exer-
else. Reducing baths are gener-
ally prescribed only for persons
whose obesity is mostly OF the
head.
Children Like Raw Vegetables.
My little girl and boy both like
raw neutrality-suspicious., cabbage,
beets, carrots and the like. When
ever l peel or prepare such Vege-
tables they plead for pieces to eat.

Wars of a Century.

The curse of war has rested heavily on the
human race in the past hundred years. Look
ing backward with retrospective wisdom we
can see that practically all of the wars of
century might have been presented by an in
ternational agency such as is proposed in the
league of nations. The great war started in
a drunken brawl between Austria and Serbia
but it dragged the whole world into a confa-
grafton. Our war of 1912 with England was
over orders in council" which interfered with
the rights of our ships on the ocean. These
orders were revoked the day before we de-
elared war, thus removing our grievance, but
there were no cables and We did not know it,
Our disastrous Civil war has all the indica-
tons of having been promoted by European
intrigue, to break up this country and keep ii
from becoming the greatest power in the
world
A calendar of the wars of Z century is in
structive. The ambition of Napoleon brought
on the last great confagration, and kept
Europe at war from 1900 to 1915, incidentally
dragging US into our war of 1872 Such war
could not happen in the future if England and
the United States would stand together to for
bid it.
The Greek war of independence lasted eight
years, 1S21-29. The French Algerine war
dragged along from 1929 to 1s47. Belgium had
little war of independence, 1S31-32 Texas
had war all to herself, winning her indie
pendence in 1886, but this drew us into our
war with Mexico, 1S46-4S
A bitter civil in Austria and Hungary
last three years, 1S4S-1S51. Italy had wars
with Austria in 1S4S, 1859 and 1866. England,

The Balance of Trade.

We used to boast of a trade balance in our
favor, but lately there have been some mis-
givings in the popular mind as the preponder-
ance of exports over imports has steadily
grown January SCI the high mark up to that
time with a total Of 1928 100000 but April re-
turns show $715 OOO 900, adding s442, O00. 900 to
our balance and making the total for a 10
months period 1921 ,O30, 0O0 Imports, instead
OF growing are actually falling off, so it's
practically all going out and nothing coming
In" so far as commodities are concerned.
OF course heavy exports serve to increase
the volume of business and to give more en-
ployment in this country, but the wide discrep-
ancy between our~sales and our purchases
creates unusual condition and a reaction is
likely to follow. The immediate effect, of
course, is to increase domestic prices both by
taking the surplus from this country and by
Initiation of credits.
Is Foreign countries cannot continue to buy
from us without selling something in return
They cannot pay in gold, because there is not
enough gold in the world to settle the account
and would have no use for so much metal
any, y. We must eventually be paid in COM
modlties. That is the only way the vast war
debt that has piled up in our favor can be
discharged and that means that eventually
there must be surplus of imports over ex-
ports. Otherwise our foreign debtors never
can even meet the interest
1t is a fine thing to be creditor nation but
the position carries with it cares and response
bilities which grow as the balance becomes
tepheavy.
