NO LISHTs FOR YORK ROAD
). r. T. to Quit eiylns illumination

The p. r. T. has decided to stop
lighting Old York road and the suburban
highways over which the lines of the
Glenside division are operated. The
decision was made after the trolley
company had spent 100000 for more
than twenty years in providing free
lighting in that section. The action
Of the company has brought loud pro.
tests from residents,
1t is said to be matter Of economy
to the p. r. T. There's nothing, it
is claimed, ID the franchises under
which the lines are operated TO compel
the p. R. T. to maintain string OF
expensive arc lamps on the highways
in question. And, the p. r. T. says,

germ,-for example, the germ of
typhoid fever or Of influenza,-and
after he has killed the germs in the
culture by heat or some other
means, so that they cannot excite
the disease against which he
wishes to protect the patient, he
injects them two or three times, in
gradually increasing doses.
At the first injection the system
attacks the invading germs,-the
fact that they are dead makes no
difference, for their substance re-
mains unchanged,-and elaborates
substance called an antibody,
which destroys them. The second
time, the physician injects a great
er number of dead bacteria, and
the human tissues and fluids, made
stronger by the former victory,
elaborate more antibodies to des-
troy the new army of invaders.
Now, or perhaps after third in
lection, the system is so we'll forti-
fed that it can easily resist in
fection by large number of living
bacteria; with it's newly created
antibodies it kills them before they
have an opportunity to grow and to
excite disease. We now say that
the person has acquired an i'm
munity against that particular dis
ease.
Nature does the same thing
whenever recovery from an in
fection takes place, but she. does
it brutally by a large dose of living
bacteria, and then for a time it is
question whether the disease will
kill the patient or the patient kill
the disease; if the patient con-
quers, he has acquired immunity
just as he might have acquired it
less unpleasantly from repeated
small doses of dead bacteria artifi-
cially introduced.
Physicians also use vaccines
even after the patient has acquired
the disease to stimulate resistance
and hurry up the supply of anti
bodies, but in that case the action
of the vaccines is less certain than
it is when prevention is the object.
That exemplifies the old saying
that an ounce Of. prevention is
worth a pound of cure.-Youth's
Companion.

of the biggest prizes open to a stu

New Postage Stamps Issued

Victory postage stamps a new
three-cent issue, to commemorate
the successful conclusion of the
war, are on sale throughout the
country. In announcing the issue
the Postoffice Department said the
supply would not be sufficiently
large to replace the regular three
cent stamps and postmasters would
sell victory stamps only on request.
The new stamp bears the figure
of Liberty Victorious, helmeted
and with a sword in one hand and
scales in the other. The whole de-
sign appears upon a shaded panel,
with American, British, French,
Belgian and Italian flags draped
for the background. In size it COM
pares with other special stamps
and is wider and shorter than the
ordinary stamp. 1t probably will
require several weeks to supply re-
questions from all postofices.

DRESS-UP WEEK
TO BEGIN SATURDAY
Wilmington Merchants Make
Elaborate Plans for

7 After weeks of planning the Will
mington merchants are prepared
to throw open their doors to the
greatest crowd that ever visited
the city. The advertising campaign
included every important daily and
weekly newspaper in the state as
we'll as points adjoining Whining
ton, in New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
The merchants have been plan
ming this week for quite a while.
The various buyers have combed
the Eastern and Southern markets
for the newest merchandise of all
lines that could be secured.
The clothing stores, whether
mems or women's, will display the
most advanced fashions; some
have secured imported models. The
millinery stores have all made
extra efforts to produce remark
able creations. Other lines of mer-
chandise such as furniture and
household goods will display the
latest designs. Groceries, hard
ware, automobile supplies. in fact
every line of merchandise will be
displayed in the most attractive
manner.
The theatres have made arrange
ments for star attractions during
the week. Everything that could be
arranged for the pleasure and to
hold the interest of visitors has
been done. A number of stores will
have special orchestra music.

Vaccines In The Prevention
And Cure OF Disease

Vaccines are among the COM
paratively new discoveries in medi-
cal practice, but they have already
been in use long enough to have
demonstrated their value both in
the prevention and the cure of dis
ease. The chief question that re-
mains to be answered in relation
to vaccines is how far they are ap-
plicable - whether all infectious
diseases will eventually be brought
under their influence or whether,
under some biological law as yet
unknown, their action will be
found to be of limited scope.
The theory of the action of a
vaccine is this: Whenever disease
germs get lodgment in the body
begin to grow and to create the
poison ,or toxin, that causes the
disease, the cells and the tissue
secretions assume the task of des-
troying the germs before they can
do any serious damage. The ability
to destroy the germs or microbes,
like any other function of living
tissue, increases with practice. The
physician takes advantage of that
to fortify the system in advance
against the expected attack. He
makes a culture of the special

OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
FOR RETURNING SOL
DIERS AND SAILORS
Agencies Already Established
Are Utilized to Place
Them in Industry

The chances for every returned
soldier and sailor getting work
look much brighter than they did a
few weeks ago, it is announced.
Col. Arthur Woods and the. men
from government departments and
commercial organizations are en-
ergetically pushing their program
for taking care of the discharged
soldiers and sailors. They have the
advantage Of an organization
which has proved itself useful in
many ways during the war, the
widespread local councils of ma
tional defense, and their interest
is enlisted in this important work.
Colonel Woods said on Monday {:
at is not only the solemn obliga-
tion, but it is the privilege, of the
government to help to return to
civil life the men whose services
have won peace for us. These men
do not want charity; what they do
want, and what they have the right
to demand, is the aid which the
government can properly give them
in returning them to civil life as
self-supporting members of the
community.
'ln taking up this work, it is not
our intention to create an elabor-
ate machine for the finding of en-
ployment. The United States En-
ployment Service has retained it's
staff in the rehabilitation camps,
and has nearly 200 volunteer bu-
reaux, and other volunteers are at
work. A large ajority of the dis
charged men do not need assist
ance in finding jobs. Of the minor
ity, many drift to the cities and
are not satisfied to go back to their
old jobs. During the period of re-
adjustment these men should be
urged to resume their old Jobs,
temporarily at least ,and later look
for better ones"
Colonel Woods said that nothing
could be accomplished by creating
a sentiment which would result in
the discharge of worthy civilians
to make place for soldiers and sail
ors. Readiustments can be made
which will render such action un-
necessary.

ARMY TAKES
OVER EDUCATION PRO-
GRAM ABROAD
War Department Report In
dicates Popularity of
the Scheme

With the transfer recently of
nearly million dollars worth of
textbooks covering every phase of
education from elementary work to
postgraduate courses in French
and, British Universities, the COM
plete educational program abroad,
it is understood passes to army
control. This includes post and
technical schools, the A. E. F. Uni
versity near Paris, and the post
graduate scholarships.
The educational project was
initiated by the Y.M.C.A. and the
instructors were obtained through
the same agency which also select
ed and assembled the textbooks
upon which the educational frame
work was erected. In cooperating
q with specially created section of
General Pershing's staff, the army
educational commission of the
United States aided in getting the
system into motion. With the ap
proval Of the Y.M.C.A., however,
the entire machinery now is pass
ing into the hands of the army
itself.
An indication of the quick ad-
vantage taken by officers and men
of the educational opportunities Of
fered is contained in a report
which has just reached the War
Department showing that on Feb
ruary 20 the enrolment of the
American Army at the Sorbonne,
the great French university, total
ed 1898 men. All of these presum-
ably are graduates from American
universities or colleges who are
making the most of their chance to
obtain post graduate courses in
France. The greatest number, 798,
are enrolled for advanced scientific
courses, $50 are seeking degrees
in letters, 400 in law and $50 in

CULTURAL MEASURE BECAUSE
OF AN ATTACHED RIDER.
ALSO THE suNDRY CIVIL BILL
Proposed Enactment Returned to Ap-
Preparations commlttee-veto OF
Latter May Be Accepted BY
Congress Unprotected.

Washington.-The daylight saving
law was rescued from repeal by Presi-
dent Wilson's veto of the agricultural
bill.
At the same time the president also
vetoed the sundry civil appropriation
bill, because, he said, by restricting
funds 1t crippled the work of rehabili-
Eating and restoring disabled soldiers
and sailors to civil life.
The latter veto apparently was ac-
cepted by congress without contest,
and the sundry civil bill went back
10 committee to be reframed.
Veto of daylight saving. however,
was not accepted so readily. although
the prevailing opinion was that a
necessary two-thirds vote to repass it
over the presidents head probably
would not be mustered.
Both bills provide funds for which
agencies OF the government long have
been waiting. They already are
months behind SCHEDULE because they
failed OF ordinary passage In the last
congress.
In regard to the sundry civil bill the
president said:
Under the vocational rehabilita-
tion bill. which became law June q,
1913, the congress has sought to full
fill the expectations OF the country
that their soldier. sailor and marine
disabled in the recent war should be
given an opportunity TO secure at the
expense and under the fostering care
OF the federal government such train
ing as he needs to overcome the
handicap of his disability and to re-
sumo his place as a civilian able to
earn a living upon something like
equal footing with those whom he
was associated with before he made
his great sacrifice for the honor and
defense OF the country"

| Weimar-The German national as
sembly very plainly demonstrated
that it wanted to complete the IN
pleasant task of ratifying the treaty
quickly and without obscuring the
measure in any way with qualifying
resolutions.
At the opening Of the session the
conservatives introduced s. resolution
which would make ratification depen-

authorities in international laws as to
whether the proposed international
court could institute trial and could.
with retroactive Jurisdiction and au-
thority, impose penalties which have
not heretofore been prescribed by in
ternational law
The resolution was aimed at the en-
forcement OF articles 227 TO $50. in
elusive, of the peace treaty. (provid-
ing for the trial OF the former en-
peror and other Germans accused of
causing the war or OF violations OF
the rules OF war; 1t also provided
for the establishment of neutral
court to pass upon the question OF re-
sponsibility for the conflict

the first reading and then q recess
was taken to give the parties an op-
portunity to discuss the resolution
After fifteen minutes the assembly
reconvened and DIR. Schiller. national
liberal leader and former minister of
finance, stated that he regretted the
introduction of the resolution. as IL
would only serve to confuse the situa-
ton clerical speaker said the time
for reservations was passed. The
conservatives defended the resolution
but it was decisively beaten.
The treaty bill was then taken up
and quickly passed second and third
readings. with the opposition coming
