Contact with the workers of the
world has taught them "the rules
of the road" and these they OBJ
serve fairly, with few exceptions.
The chief offenders are the col
lege students, particularly those
of the Women's College, who on
occasions take up the whole road
way and in most cases avoid the
sidewalk altogether.
In behalf of careful motorists
therefore, permit me to suggest
that for the sake of safety and in

LETTER TO THE POST
Newark, Del, Sept. 21,

Newark, Del, Sept. 21, 1920.
Editor Newark Post,
Dear Sir.-Kindly permit a
harassed motorist to issue pro-
test through your paper against
persistent disregard by pedestri-
ans of the walk on Depot Road re-
Gently constructed at great ex-
pense, for their saftey and con-
venience. Yesterday groups of
these, in many cases walking four
abreast, obstructed the roadway
imperilling their lives and inter
fering to a considerable extent
with traffic. They paid no atten-
tion to the auto horn and hogged
the roadway, compelling the mo-
torist to take less than 1-3 of the
right of way.
- The offenders in this respect are
not the members of the grand
army of commuters except in rare
cases. Experience has taught these
the dangers of Depot Road at the

CANDIDATES TO
BE QUESTIONED

Candidates for office, State and
County, can we'll prepare them
selves for the public quiz that is
coming to them. This will be no
gum-shoe campaign. Especially is
this true in Delaware. There are
State issues and county issues,
that are in the public mind and
every candidate will be required
to "speak out in meetin'" where
he stands. There is an army of
new voters this year, many, of
them independent. Politically, the
woman voter is from Missouri.
She will have to be shown. No
casual reference to the party plat
form will satisfy. She is going to
be convinced of where the candi-
date stands or she is going to be
suspicious.
The woman voter of Delaware is
interested in Health, Child We'll
fare, Factory Regulations, Educa-
tion, Good Roads and Railroads.
She knows what has been going
on. She knows what is needed.
She is going to ask publicly some
very pointed and practical ques-
tions. She expects very clear and
definite answer, and sad will be
the returns of the Representative
or candidate for Levy Court that
begs the question or shades the
issue.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CLASS ENGAGES IN
LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE

By their own initiative the boys
composing DR.. Charles w. Dun
levy's Sunday School class at the
Presbyterian Church made all ar
rangements for a very creditable
and successful carnival which
they conducted at the home of
their teacher on Friday and Sat-
urday evenings of last week. On
Friday evening they secured a
supply of "doggies" and ice
cream, arranged a shooting gall
cry and a kill-the-cat alley. They
secured drums with which they
aroused the neighborhood and
drew a very satisfactory trade.
The second hight they had on
hand a goodly supply of home
made pies, cakes and other good
things in addition to the other at
fractions. Twelve dollars was
cleared. This sum will in all
probability be applied to the
building fund of the church which
is in urgent need of an additional
Sunday School ROOM.
The boys who made the venture
a success are Vernon Steele, Pres
ident, Leon Potts, Harry William
son, George Chalmers, John Wag-
ner, Walter Jarmon, Horace Wan
amaker, and Robert Strahorn.

quickly built up.
Congratulations are certainly in
order to the State Committee for
the success of their policy of
urging the women 30 affect their
own organization rather than try
ing to submerge them into their
own. That the women appreciate
this is clearly shown by the turn

not in any spirit of domination

With this policy continued, the

Lights in Ocean Depths
Afforded by MuItitudes
of Seas Minute Animals

On still nights in tropical waters the
sea ofttimes is illuminated as if by
fires Of its w Every breaking wave
crest looks like a flame. An oar dis
turbing the surface seems to dip into
molten metal. Swimming fishes leave
wakes Of brilliant brightness.
The phenomenon is due to the pres
enc in the water of multitudeS Of mi
mute animals, each Of which holds up
its tiny torch, SO 70 speak, to contrib
ute TO the illumination.
Marine creatures OF many tribes
crustaceans, jelly fishes, cephalopOds
and fishes of various species carry
lights. Some fishes have luminous
disks on their heads, others have lum-
nous spots along their sides.
The angler" fish has a regular
torch for a back fin, enabling it to see
while looking out for victims which its
light is expected to attract. Another
tinny species, found only at great
depths, carries what looks like an cleo
trio light bulb, which serves an equiva-
lent purpose.
1t is in the depths Of the ocean that
the really remarkable light bearing
fishes dwell. Theirs is a realm Of
inky darkness, into which no ray OF
daylight pen%etrates. If they are to
have light, they must furnish it them
selves; and, to catch every possible
glimmer, most Of them are provided
with huge eyes.

"Appian Way Was Ancient
Rome's Main ThorOughfare
and Fashionable Promenade

The Broadway of ancient Rome vas
In its time not less famous than he
principal t~hOrOughfare of New York.
It was called the "Appian Way" and
along it flowed all that was most In
teresting and picturesque in the life
Of the. imperial city. Ihronged by
chariOts and the vehicles of fashion. ii
was the favOrite promenade of the
idle rich. Over its smooth pavement
successful generals. TO whom had been
granted the proud privilege of Il tri-
umph, led their returning armies, with
hosts Of unhappy prisoners of war.
The Via Appia, however, was much
more than q city street. 1t was the
metropolitan terminus of one of the
great Roman military roads. Begun in
312 b. c., it ran through one of the
great city gates outward to Lower
Italy-tO Capua, Tartentum and
beyond. One mile beyond the gate
was the magnificent Temple Of Mars.
Along the t~horOughfare today are
ruins of once beautiful buildings that
resemble those of Northern France
and Belgium. And no wonder, mas
much as their destruction was wrought
by barbarians who were the ancestors
af the present day Germans. But the
great road. like others Of Roman orr
gin. extending over most of Europe,
remains a wonderful monument to d
bygOne civilization.

AMERICAN
PHYSIQUE
Records show Yankee army
better physically than
any ether army.

Every now and then somebody comes
along with something like this which
is taken from the columns of one Of
the best-knOwn American newspapers {:
Because the American girl doesn't
eat enough, because she doesn't guard
her health, because she doesn't get
sufficient exercise, because she is be-
low the physical standard, she is to
blame. when she becomes the Ampri-
can mother, for the faulty rearing of
the babies of the nation; she is to
blame for the lack of strength ana
vitality Of the youth Of the nation ;
the generation which preceded her is
TO blame for the bodily unfitneSs of
one of every four men called for serv-
ice in the nations armies"
1t may be true, observes Il writer in
he Charleston News and Courier,
that one out Of every four men called
for service in the war was rejected be-
cause of bodily untitnCSs but that was
because America, having an almost I'M
limited number of men, was able to set
the military physical standards very
high and still get more soldiers than
she needed. The American army was
far away better physically than any
other army and after what America
did in the war, it would be very hard
to persuade any European, especially
any German who served on the west
ern front, that the physique Of this
nation is inferior.

OF ARMY
WAS "LE;T DOWN.

artillery support was directed during
made in three days.
Fought Five Days and Nights.
Harden was attached to the Six
teenth infantry when the First divi-
sion, forming with the Second Ameri-
can and the famous French Moroccan
division the S%pearhead of the attack,
drove forward on July Is south of
scissors in the first allied attack of
the decisive campaign. For five days
and nights the Sixteenth infantry
went through rs close an approach to
hell rs its men and officers wanted TO
see, then was relieved, covered with
glory and its mission accomplished.
Shortly afterward Harden was re-
turned to the United States rs an in
structor. On reaching Camp Lewis in
Washington state he was promoted
captain and took command of G com
pany Of the Two Hundred and Thir-
teenth field signal battalion OF the
Thirteenth division. He was the only
officer in the battalion who had served
overseas. so he took Il large part in
inStructing the battalion.
Harden was then transferred TO
Honolulu, where he commanded T. com
pany of the Fifty-third telegraph bat
TALON. He put il through stiff training
for the October maneuvers, in which,
according to citations, it showed re
markable proficiency"
Col. George f. Kumpe telegraphed
Washington asking that Harden be per.
manently assigned to the western de
partment, but November Is orders
reached San Francisco for his dis.
charge from the service.
Harden had served so long with the
army that he had no other career. His
profession was that of the soldier. For
three weeks he cast about for some
opening in civilian life. He could find
none. Back to the army again
seemed the only answer TO his prob
lem. At the recruiting office they told
him they would be glad to have him
back-as first sergeant.

Dogs Talented in Comedy
and They Provide Many
Good Laughs for Owners

1t Is not generally known, but dogs
are in many instances real comedians.
Those who have made Il close study
Of CANNES long ago came TO this con
cluSiOn. The gift is not confined To
any one breed. Some OF the stunts
done by fox terriers are not only
laughable. but they show the dog To
be Il natural born comedian.
y woman recently owned Il valuable
fox terrier which was SO much Of Il
comedian that he kept the household
in a state of constant good humor.
The dog never had been taught the
tricks he performed, and the most in
tereSting part of it was, he liked 10
show off when the house was filled
with guests. The terrier seemed to
know that he was creating laughs. one
thing he did was a trick that would
be hard for the average person to be
lieve unless he witnessed ii. 1t was
Il performance he ven through to
avoid having his coat put on in the
winter months, when a maid took him
for Il walk.
When the dog saw the maid APP
preaching with the coat he would hang
his head. One evening when Il party
of guests were present the dog con-
ceived Il new scheme of trying TO
arouse sympathy, SO he could get out
Of having his coat put on. When the
maid called to him he looked around
the room, and then, quick as Il flash,
he started To run 70 the different cor
nerS rs if looking for rats. He was as
serious as Il judge sitting on a bench,
Once or twice he stopped 10 see what
effect his performance was having,
then he looked at the maid, wagging
his tail with an expression on his face
which seemed to say "Now you won't
make me put on the coa after that
The guests caught the idea, and a
wave Of hearty laughs came from all
sides.
