ONLY A CASE IN POINT.

ESTIMATED sales for the year should be
more than double those of 1919, which
were SS7, 100000" This is part of a
report made by the president of an auto
mobile manufacturing comp any TO ITS
stockholders. 1t set forth that the daily
output was $50 cars; that soon 1t would
be $50 cars day; that foreign and do
mestic business was upon q huge scale,
and that export orders were three times
as large as they were year ago, with q
large market opening up IN India and the
Far East.
For one concern this is "some" showing,
but it is merely typical. Almost it sug-
gests that, though it has become giant
in trade dimensions. the auto is still in its
infancy. In every great factory there is
an effort TO exceed the speed limits, not

is famine" demand for ears all over the

PessImists take notice. In tins country
SFages are at the top notch and materials
command prices which would elsewhere
be regarded as prohibitive, but the world
looks to us TO mitigate the horrors of
famine, and the company referred to has
made an alliance a result of which viii be
that it will take care of the British
market, meaning the market foreign TO

HIGH COST OF CONVENIENCE.

There are in st. Louis 2,37o grocery
| stores, an average of one TO about 800
| people, including infants. Possibly the
| high cost Of living so far as groceries are
| concerned should be changed 90 the high
! cost of convenience. Yet, with SO much
ordering over the telephone il does not
seem necessary IS matter OF convenience
10 have a grocery store on every corner.
But it is not in the matter of TODD alone
that we are paying high price Tor ser
vice, for convenience, for getting rad OF
bother about details. II runs through our
whole national life, We have ceased 60
bargain when we Purchase We do not
realize this until we visit other countries,
especially the Orient, where even the
smallest thing cannot be purchased for
what il is really worth without going
through a bargain routine. Our one-price
system, which was introduced by the
department stores almost\half century
ago. has so accustomed us % ask the price
and then take II or leave IL without dis
cussion usually taking IL If We want it
regardless Of the cost-has destroyed our
bargaining instinct, especially IN the cities.
IL is still to Toe found In the country and
there is a small survival of It IN tho city
outside the ordinary purchases at the
stores we nave TINS htblb W RlaHt
largely for the high cost of living. If
we bareained more, if we were more
intelligcntly discriminating about the
prices we paid for the various things we
buy, there is little doubt that prices in
general would take considerable tumble
There are many advantages about the
one-price system. For one thing it ex-
pedites service and should for that very
reason enable lower prices 20 be gwen, but
since IL has educated us TO accept whatever
price is marked as the proper price we
have no defense against an unreasonably
high price except that of refusing 20
buy at all, which we cannot do IN oil
cases, especially in the matter of food
Thus the convenience o. the grocery
or drug store on every corner, of the Use of
the telephone to order whatever is wanted
regardless of price and the one-prlce
system itself and its great convenience
IN shopping, all conspire 10 make the high
cost of convenience at least a large factor
in the high cost of living.-St. Louis

PRESS COMMENTS.
STRIFE, NOT REVOLUTION.

| But it 10 one thing TO recognise the
| existence in labor ranks OF radical tenoen-
| cies--as they exist IN every organization,
including churches and political parties,
| IL is another thing to describe the switch
men strike as an ]. w. W. strike. Inc
Times is suffering from bad attack oi
nerves when il disoerns in the present
| strike "the red hand OF tho Communist, the
| feminist, the l. w. W.--tho massed
| proletariat the architects OF
disaster" II the railway workers, tho
most intelligent and among the most
conservative of American workingmcn ,
have succumbed so easily to revolutionary
doctrine, then indeed this country Is IN a
parlous state. II seems to us that the
proper way of approach is from the oppo-
site direction. Starting with the demon
strated fact that the railway men are not
revolutionists, we are forced to assume
that any outbreak like the present is-not
revolution. The strike WAS uncalled for,
unwise an ASSAULT on the interests OF
the public and on the ultimate interests
of labor. But labor has before this been
nnwise, impetuous, autoeratic and IN
different TO the public interest without
being l. w. w, Communist or any other
shade of red.
bDNlpuflN, ~ VIII Rth AC hpHo'iN u
every excess on the part OF American
labor is at once set down as Bolshevism.
That cry may easily be overworked. II
may easily result in throwing the mass OF
labor into q sullen state of mind engen-
dered by the feeling that labor Is being
denied q fair hearing. That is the mischief
arising from the indiscriminate rse OF
radical and red which has made the
two synonymous. As we have said, there
has always in every movement been
Right wing and q Left. There has always
been boring from within" In one sense
boring from within is an American
habit of which we have been proud. For
merly il used TO be described "a staying
with your party and trying 10 WIN IT to
your side. II our labor problems are to be
met wisely, il is necessary to ascertain bow
far left any Left wing is, and whittier the
boring process tends.
The switchmen's strike is an unneces-
sary and oppressive strike, but il is not
revolution or anything near it.-New

Kindness 10 Animals.

The Blue Cross Society, which aims
to do for dumb animals the work OF
meroy that is 50 msgnificently extended
to human beings everywhere by the Red
Cross, has set aside this week as BE Kind
to Animals Week" throughout the coun-
try. 1t is hoped the good people Of Will
mington will take part in the observance.
The week began yesterday and will con-
clude with Humane Sunday, on
which occasion it is expected the subject
will receive special attention in the city
churches.
1t is hoped that during this week
all friends of animals will do all in their
power to inculcate in the minds OF people
generally, and especially of children
the duty and propriety of being KIND 10
dumb animals in every possible way.
Through the efficient agency OF our
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals, many forms of cruelty that for
too msny years went almost unnotced
and altogether unpunished, have been
stopped; but there yet remains much TO oe
done in the way of extending services ana
acts of kindness that will make the
existence of dumb animls much more
easy and comfortable.
Children can do many things to~heip
along this good work. They may extend
their efforts TO preventing animals sui
fering from hunger or exposure. 1hey
may be given special instructions which
explain not only the merciful character
of kindness to dumb animals, but ITS
economic value in making them more
serviceable to the people in their daily
living. We hope 'Be Kind to Animals
Week" will not pass by entirely un-
noticed in our city. We have herea wide
field that may be largely improved by
earnest and intelligent attention.

The departure from his post OF faith
full and efficient public official is always q
matter of regret, and it will be especially
so in respect of the resignation by Mr..
Harry J. Guthrie of his post as secretary
and treasurer of the Board of Education.
For fourteen years Mr.. Guthrie has served
in this capacity most efficiently, and his
services have been valuable. He leaves
to enter the field of private business, In
which he will have larger opportunities
for profit. Very frequently the public
service suffers severely by reason OF carry
ing compensation that does not measure
up TO that offered by outside work.

The cock-suredness of Republican lead
ers and organs that the country is going
Republican with great rush at next falls
election is very surprising. They see only
the great aceessions to the party ranks OF
all the revolutionary elements and Ger

this spells easy victory. But they will

Shakespeare Day.

! According to reports received by the
| Bureau of Education, schools through
out the country are preparing to observe
Friday, April %, as Shakespeare Day. IN
honor OF what is generally accepted as the
birthday anniversary OF the great Bard
of Avon. Appropriate exercises will be
held by the pupils.
The Bureau of Education advocates
the acting of shakespeare plays by the
school children as the most suitable and
effective program. In this It lndorses the
suggestion of MIR. II. G.. Wells, the eminent
English novelist. 'My ideal of Shake
speare Day." writes Mr.. Wells, is day
on which. in every school, Shakespearean
plays are acted 10y the children themselves.
The one person. the only person. who
ought to speak for Shakespeare on Shake
spearc Day is Shakespeare himself 50
let Shakespeare be read and played for
our Shakespeare Day celebration in the
schools, and let the rest of us keep silent
while he speaks.
Other literary notables unite IN thIs
suggestion, and there is no doubt there
will be general acquiescence throughout
the world. at least the English-spesking
part thereof, where the works OF the great
dramatist are as familiar as text books,
indeed, are largely used as such. We hope
the occasion will be appropriately re-
membered in the schools of Wilmington
and throughout the State. In our high
schools. and also in other schools of the
city, there is talent that can render some
of the masterpieces of Shakespeare with
high credit and full appreciation.
