Another important fact that we mus,
bear in mind In considering the future
OF the League OF Nations Is the changes
that have conn and those that VIII
come in the governments Of the various
nations For example, since the league
" is 0rganizcd France has elected a
new president and a new premier, with
an entirely new cabinet Recent elec-
tions In England indicate that there Is
considerable probability OF Lloyd
George being succeeded by a new pre-
mler at no very great distant time
with a correspond NJ change In tht
British Cabinet Germany does not ap-
pear to be as settled as she did some
time ago, and there is also the question
as TO what RuSdl's attitude will be To-

a number OF countries that were neu-

les. and until the future relation
ship between several Of these larger
nations and the league Is definitely de-
cided. no one can say how succe sful
the league will be in furthering inter
national peace and preventing wars
like the Great War"
Many Nations Not In League.
Our own country, acting through
The Senate which must ratify all trea-
ties with foreign nations, as you know
has been studying and debating the
League Of Nations ever since President
Wilson came back from the Pence Con
ference: consequently our country
wasn't repres ented at the meeting In
Paris when the league was organized.
Germany. still one OF the largest na-
tions in the world, and Russia. too. are
not yet members OF the league. China.

"How Is the League OF Nations work

"The league Is really organized now

Harry had a chance to answer
Yes, what was a talked-about league

ganlzation,' replied Uncle Harry But
the League OF Nations is still altogether
too new and unlrled for any one 10 say
how 10 is working. or what the pros

And. besides, there are quite a num-
ber OF nations that are not In the

"Ouiie right" replied Uncle Harry

Matt. George Fawcett is known ev-
erywhere as a star of speaking stage
as well as screen; and Alec B. Francis
is one Of the standbys of motion pic
ture acting.
Mr.. Francis has had a notable car
eer in the films, having gone into the
work of screen acting when the cine
matpgraph first became commercially
feasible. He appeared even in the
days when motion pictures had not
generally developed beyond the slot
machine stage, and when 500 feet oA
film constituted a feature photoplay.
Like many other well-educated yo-
ung Englishmen, Mr.. Francis drifted
from the legal profession into the
army, and thence to the stage, after
seven years in service. of the crown.
His native city was London, where he
first saw the light Of day December
20, 1867, but he had a wanderlust
which took him to Canada. There he
took up farming, but agriculture pro-
we'd without charms for him. He ne

Above all, Houdini himself in un-
der water stunts that draw upon his
exceptional powers to the last degree
is the outstanding. feature of the pic

a smashing battle with a diver on the

The. Chandler Six

Chandler Six leads where quality
and performance counts. If you wilr
check the units of the Chandler you
will find that it checks with highest
priced cars.
Another c~ommendable feature of
the Chandler and one that should have
the greatest consideration is that the
Chandler is not in an experimental
class. Such cars that are constantly
changing their motor designing, chas-
is, transmission, etc. undoubtedly are
of the freaky nature.
The buyer who buys a car without
considering these features is liable Ia
a very grave injustice to himself.
Chandler has one Motor and ono
Chassis only for the six different mo-
dels.
If you purchased a Chandler five
years ago or buy a new one to-day,
you will find no radical charge, This
feature alone means satisfaction. 1t
was right in the start and is right in
the finish.

reverted to stage work. He had, Of
course, received an elaborate general
education, in his cas- at Uppingham
College, England, and Mount Meller-
ay Abbey in Ireland.
His first picture was "Twa Hieland
Ladies'" made for the old Vitagraph
but he has since played in more than
two hundred interchangeable p1pduc-
tions, including "Silent JIM, "After
Dark" and "The Imposter," in both of
which he was featured by the Eclair
Company; "Alias Jimmy Valentine
and ''The Wishing Ring

Arson in Second Degree-Not more
than twenty lnshes.
Burning a Courthouse Where Of
fetal Records Are Kept-Sixty lashes.
Observation-Disclosures ,lashes.
Highway Robbery-Twenty lashes.
Wife-beating-Not more than thirty
lashes.
Attempt to Ravish-Thirty lashes.
In addition to the whipping, the Of
lenses are also punishable by impris-
onment.
The most Of the statutes merely
provide penalties for the various Of
lenses with no provision that they
shall not be inflicted upon women,
public opinion in Delaware will no
longer permit the flashing of women.
A majority of the offenders to be
punished in that ann are negroes,
but white men suffer it as well. The
whippings usually take place at the
end of each court term or, If the
terms last more than one week, the
whippings occur at the end of each
week. They are administered by the
warden Of the Jail.
A curious feature of the law Of
Delaware is that it makes no distinc-
ton between grand and petty larceny;
the theft Of a loaf of bread by a hun
cry man is technically as serious a
crime as the stealing of $1,000 by a
hardened criminal.
There is nothing in the law to pre-
vent a Judge from sentencing the for
mer to be dashed on the bare back
with a cat.o'-nine-tails, made of leath-
er thongs.
See Nothing Brutal.
II do not see anything brutal about
our form Of punishment" former
Judge J. Frank Ball, counsel for and
Va member Of the County Workhouse
commission, said to me. "The men
are not beaten severely, for the strokes
do not draw blood. No man who came
to e me of the whippings, and who
was u~nprejudiced could find anything
to object to in them.
II do not know of any movement
to abolish whipping, and I do not
know any citizens who would favor
such a thing. We feel that we know
what We are doing, and we don't want
outsiders to dictate to u.s."

Keough was the first clerk of the fire board after the dissolving of the board of public safety and the formation of the two board plan to govern the fire and police de- partments. He has proven an ex- cellent official.
 MT. Keough said this afternoon that the action of the Are commissions CTS last night in naming him . tenn porary clerk after the board had for many organized, prompted his action. During last nights session, Clerk Keough called attention to the expiration of his term on June |. The board then organized with the selection of F. W. Macomber as per manent chairman and Mir. Keough as temporary clerk.
