other day-discussing the price in
their town which was little lower
than some other town in the C, unity.
There was cotton buyer In the crowd
and he was asked why he paid less
than some other towns. His answer
was, What is the use to pay more
when the farmers will sell 1t for less?"
And the others in the crowd said that
there was no use. ~.

1918, and the contracts called for
completion on December 81, 1918, pro-
vided no trouble arose in obtaining
labor and material. There are six
miles of brick road and Mr.. Upham
said, considering the high type Of
construction, the highway is being
completed in record time. Captain A.

The Toad

By LESLIE CLARE MANCHESTER
Its under a lavender foxglove Aow'r
That leans from the garden edge;
It's where in the early springtime hour
The white comes out Of the hedge,
Its elise by the path I daily tread;
It's close by the trail he waits,
This hermit old with the years long
fled
There back of the garden gates!
Oh, meath the SHOWS of the winter
long
He sleeps in the earth's warm heart
Till Weakened there by the bluebird's
song
Across the mead and the mart.
He sits at the door of his cavern deep
And swells his bagpipe throat;
And watchse while the night-worIds
sleep
The things that fly and float!
He's brown and bearded, punched and
old;
But he loves my garden well!
And I'd miss him there as I'd miss the
gold
In the heart of each fair bluebell!
He's a friend of the folk that travel
and trade
And circle the world around,
He's a friend, a friend, though he's
humbly made
Of the shards of sinew and sound.

The Physiological Side Of
The High Cost Of Living

While most people are considering
only the financial side of the prevail
ilg high prices and the high cost of
living, it must not be forgotten that
there is also a serious physiological
side. Americas strength among the
nations of the world ana Eer wonder
FIJI military and naval and aerial work
during the war were due largely TO
the splendid physique of American
men. AS a rule Americans have had
plenty 10 eat. Food has been abund-
ant and time and money have been
devoted to the education of the people
lii the preparation and use Of nqtri-
tious food. But since the era Of high
Prices and high cost of living set in
thousands of people have been unable
to obtain proper food and the danger
resulting from widespread malnutri-
ton is facing the nation.
According to a recent report made
by the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department Of Labor from
three to six million American child
rem are not getting enough to eat be-
cause their parents are unable to buy
food. From fifteen to twenty-five per
cent of the school children, according
to this report, are not getting suffi-
cient food. Thousands of American
families are unable to purchase an
adequate diet.
This is the physiological side of the
problem and is most serious. 1t will
surely result in a lowering of Ameri-
Can physical standards unless checked
Lofore next spring. Already it has
been found impossible for America to
feed all Europe and at the same time
properly feed herself, and an en-
barge on the expectation of wheat
from this country ha sheen imposed
until the situation improves. While
Americans have a deep interest in
other people and other nations. as
they demonstrated in the recent war,
they believe il the ancient doctrine Of
"America for Americans" first pro-
mulgated by the patriots who found
ed and guarded the republic in the
trying days following the Revolution

State Highway About
To Be COMPLETED

Motorists and others will receive
with pleasure. the announcement by
representatives of the State Highway
Department and the road builders
that the Brandywine Hundred section
o. the Lincoln Highway will be open
vehicular traffic in a few days.
The pike from the foot of Penny
Hill, near Shellpot Park, to the Penn
syivania line, will be open TO general
traffic within two weeks it has been
announced.
About two more months will be re-
quired for work between the city line
and SheIlpot Park. The whole Lincoln
Highway from the city line to Penn
syIvania line then will be completed.
The prettiest part Of the turnpike will
lie between Lodges Lane and the
Pennsylvania line. Along this stretch
the highway will be widened ten feet
On each side and the additional width
will provide space for ornamental
sidewalks and other Improvements.
@ridging Naaman's Creek will take
four months. The old arcn bridge,
built of stone, is being made q 50-foot
span and widenod from IS t. 10 feet.
\ retaining wall will connect the qrch
bridge with Worth's two-span rein
forced concrete beam bridge, which
will be IL feet wide betwean.p piers and

Light On The Road Ahead

You have been motoring - or
wagoning, or walking, or otherwise
proceeding-along a fairly good
road with nothing to indicate that
it would not continue fairly good,
and then you have run suddenly
into an impossible place, mired
down, and had II assorted samples
of hades getting out. Everybody
else has had the same experience
road maps to the contrary not
withstanding. The road map is a
good thing, but it shows what the
road used to be, not necessarily as
it is. Roads change-mightly rap
idly, sometimes. A downpour of
rain and the road is washed out !;
a night of snow, and it is cluttered
up beyond passing-though it may
have been perfect yesterday. If
there were some way of knowing
what the road is today, of reading
it on a card or map like you do
the weather, for instance
Well, that is one of the new
things that the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is under
taking to arrange for you. Hence
forth, the weather bulletins will
show road conditions. The work
was begun by the Weather Bureau
as an aid to winning the war. At
first the service applied merely to
motor transportation IN some East
ern States. Then the demand for
it became pretty general and very
insistent. So, without any special
appropriation to take care of it,
the Weather Bureau is undertake
ing in certain States to add daily
news of road conditions to its
other services. The work can not
be perfected all at once. Depend

In answer to letters sent by the De-
partment of Agriculture to livestock
associations, agricultural colleges,
practical breeders and men through
out the Nation interested in better
live stock asking for comments on the
bettel-sire campaign to sc conducted
by Federal and State officials. more
than 81 per cent. of the replies favor
the campaign as outlined. Of the sos
replies received by the department up
to July %, total of $50 favored the
campaign, 10 showed some doubt as to
the advisability of holding it at this
time, and only three Were adverse to
the plan. All the replies received
from livestock associations and from
State departments of agriculture in
dorsed the crusade. Replies from 81
professors of animal husbandry and
dairying in State colleges showed
that none opposed the plan and only
three were skeptical. County agents
are ready to support the movement,
the replies from 365 of them .hcwing
that 35S are favorable. Many indi-
Gated that the campaign would great
ly strengthen their efforts in the work
of livestock improvement. Letters
from field agents, agricultural raper
editors, extension officials, breeders,
and stockmen were almost unanimous

Civil Service Examinations
Re-opened To Yanks

Under an opinion of the Attorney
General recently rendered to the Civil
Service Commission, United States
soldiers, sailors and marines who
missed opportunity to enter civil SER
vice examinations because of their
military or naval service, may now
be given a chance to qualify for Gov
eminent employment.
The Civil Service Commission, wish
ing to give discharged service men
every opportunity to qualify for civi'
positions, asked the Attorney General
for an opinion as to whether it would
be legal to open for thu benefit of
konorably discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines, examinations which had
been closed. The Attorney General
having expressed the opinion that
such action is legal in view of the
spirit of a recent act of Congress,
which provides for preference in ap-
pointment to civil positions for dis

the Civil Service Commission will
open only to honorably discharged
service men examinations which were
pending on April 6, 1917, the date of
Americas declaration of war, or
which were subsequently announced,
and for which registers of eligibles
now exist.
Sixty days from August l, 1919,
will be allowed soldiers, sailors, and
marines in which to be examined for
positions for which examinations
have already been held if they were
discharged from the military or naval
service prior to August /, and sixty

7 eachers To Have Organiza-
ton By Thanksgiving

According to plans mapped out by
the committee of five appointed dur
ing the Summer School session just
past, Delaware teachers will have or
ganized by Thanksgiving and State
Convention will have been called at
Dover by that time.
At a conference held on Wednesday
evening the support OF the State pro-
gram committee was pledged by Mr..
Everett G. j Johnson, secretary and
by Miss Jeanette Eckman, assistant
secretary. Miss Agnes Snyder, of the
Newark Public Schools, was made
chairman of the committee on organi-
cation.
The following agreement was reach
ed with regard to organization:
l. The committee on organization
is to be increased to fifty members,
the additional members to be named
by Miss Maude Lodge, of Dover, pres
ident Of the Students Government
Association. This committee will
agitate the question Of organization
among the teachers of the State and
plan for a convention at Dover, late
in the fall. The committee will have
its headquarters in Dover.
,. Pending an organization and the
collection OF necessary funds, the
State Program Committee will act as
the body for clearing information to
the teachers and in backing up their
efforts.
d. George Strayer, Of Columbia
University, retiring president of the
National Education Association, who
recently spoke at the Summer School
on organization, will be invited to
come to Delaware in the fail and as
sist in organizing the teachers
1t is contemplated to have an or
ganization along lines Of service and
mutual help among the mambers Of
the teaching profession Of the State.
Giving the organization tbs wider
scope it is hoped to avoid the failure
Of similar associations which have or
gained primarily to force salaries up.
To maintain standards of the profess
sion, however, will be ore Of the aims.

BIRTH OF FRENCH
TRICOLOR SAME AS
OUR CONSTITUTION
Three Theories Advanced as
to Derivation Of Color
Combination

A tribute paid by an Englishman
recently to the Stars and Stripes and
Stripes and the French tricolor as
being the "ideal national flags" elicit
ed from the National Geographic So
ciety the following bulletin concerning
the French emblem. The story of the
'tricolor" is as follows:
''The familiar and inspiring tri-
color of France dates from the year
that gave the United States its con-
stitution--1789. The best authorities
are doubtful as to the true story of
its origin, but there are three prln-
cipal theories as to the derivation Of
its combination of colors.
'The first of these. and the most
authentic. is that after the taking Of
the Bastille, when Lafayette had been
appointed by reclamation commander
in chief of the National Guard, he de-
vised for the guard a new cOckade
made Of the white of the royal family
and Of the colors of Paris time oft Of
mind, which were and continue to be
red and blue. From this cockade,
most historians believe, came the
French National flag.
"Another version links thc tricolor
with the three historic flags Ct France
the blue Of the CAape de Martin,
the red of the orihamme, and the white
of the Bourbons. 1t will be recalled
that the Chape de Martin was sup
posed to be the original cloak which
st. Martin divided with beggar at
Amiens, which act was followed by
vision Of Christ making known to the
angels this deed of charity. The
chape was in the keeping of the monks
Of Marmoutier and Clovis carried it
when he conquered Alaric, while Char
lemagne bore it at Narbonne.
When the kings of France trans
ferred the seat of government to Paris
the local saint, St. Denis, was held in
high honor and gradually The plain
scarlet banner, known as the ori-
famine, and kept in the abbey church,
supplantcd the blue of St. Martin IS
the national color. The orifamme ap-
pearcd for the last time at the battle
of Aginoourt in l415. The Huguencr
party in France adopted the white
flag, and when Henry III, himself a
Protestant, came to the throne he
made it the royal ensign. His success
sol, Henry w., the first king OF the
Bourbons, adopted it as the nationd
flag.

PURPOSE Of KRE|SLER
REC|TALS IS LAUDED
Merrill Sickles and Maud G. Sewall
Voice Their Apprecia-
ton of Artist.
n the Editor of The Star:

~ me Editor OF The Star:
1t is gratifying to know that
PATRIOTIC EFFORTS are being continued
along certain lines. but / have my
doubts of the propriety of the action
suggested in the case of the KreisIer
recital The agitation against this
man hinges about the supposed fact
that he is an enemy to this country
ana that he is financially supported
while Serbian children starve. 1t is,
perhaps, GENEROUS. for Kreisler to
come over here SO soon. but the facts
are that peace between Austria and
the allies has been made; that our
President has twice declared the war
ended, and that the very heavy COM
mercial relations between this country
and our former enemies have been re-
sumed.
Another important fact is that
Austrian children are in far worse
straits than the Serbian youngsters
(who receive the wonderful aid and
encouragement of the American Red
Crossl and that the entire proceeds
OF kreisler.s concerts are devoted to
the maintenance of several children's
hospitals he himself has established
throughout Austria and particularly
at Vienna Kreisler has devoted his
fortune TO succor those little enemy
children, and if he was not a genius,
IN my opinion, he should command
that good old Yankee admiration for
y
Art IS not confined to frontiers nor
should it be accepted with reserva-
tons. 1t may be Kreisler's design in
sidiously to inoculate his enchanted
audiences with bolshevism, but have
faith in the Department of Justice.
MERRILL SICKLES.
n the Editor Of The Star:
cannot let pass without protest
the suggestion that certain organiza-
tlons in town may endeavor to pre-
vent kreisler's appearance here in
concert. He was born in Vienna and
had commission in his country's
army. When the war broke out he
continued to serve until incapacitated
by wounds. Would our naval officers
wife. whom you quote, have had him
do less? Austria is no longer an en-
envy. She can hardly be said to ex-
1st. The enemy we have just now to
fear is the binding self-seeking. the
mutual distrust and the abandonment
of high ideals into which we have
fallen here at home. To hear SO sin
gularly noble a man apd artist as
kreisler play the Beethoven concerto
will help powerfully to lift us out
Of that slough of despond.
