Washington. Oct. - War pros perity opened the gates for swindlers and in get-rich-quick schemes of varied kind. Americans have been fIceced of hard-earned cash running high into the millions, with the heav- jest losses falling upon that hard then."

NOT WORRYING

Down in one of the towns of
central Illinois there was Yankee
who made no. great pretentions
but who always had a little money
to lend upon undoubted security.
He lived in a modest one-story
frame cottage. A neighbor built
a new house across the street
from Uncle Silas, a two-story
house with tower on one corner
extending up another story. A
townsman accosted Uncle Silas
and thought in consideration of
his proverbial modesty, to get a
"rise," so he said, "Well, Uncle
Silas, you will have to be building
new house now; Lem Hankins
has just built a new house across
the street from your and his is
two stories higher than yours
eyes," replied Uncle Silas dryly
'Lem's house is two stories higher
than mine," then he added, "but

CITY MANAGER
PLAN ECONOMICAL

A Norfolk dispatch notes that
Mayor Moore of Philadelphia was
greatly surprised to- find that the
city manager of the Virginia me-
tropolis is paid $4,000 year,
whereas his salary as executive of
the third city of the country is
only $4,000. Explanation of this
discrepancy is found lin the cir
cumstance that Norfolk has a
business administration, with all
politics eliminated, while Phila-
delphia has political admins
tration with business principles
eliminated. Norfolk finds that
business manager for the city at
$4,000 a year is infinitely more
economical that was a partisan
mayor of the old days receiving
$4,000 SALARY. Business adminis-
tration of a city is worth 1000
per cent more than partisan con-
troll. The latter blights city, the
former pushes it to the fore

DECEMBER A
GAY OLD FELLOW
Hoary Month of Snow and
Santa Claus Has Record
of Wild Youth

Not only the name but also the
number of days I'M the month of
December varied from time to
time during it's early history. No
ancient Roman who wanted to re-
member whether it was the 31st
of December or the 1st of Janu-
ary could repeat to himself that
convenient little verse beginning
Thirty days has September" and
be sure of getting the right an
swer. 1t all depended.
December started out some
twenty-five hundred years ago
with thirty days. Then some time
later the Roman Emperor Numa
reduced the number to twenty
nine days. Finally, Julius Caesar
in the first century B. c. increased
the month to it's present quota OF
thirty-one.-New York Sun.

PRUNE WILL ADD MUCH
TO DELAWARE INCOME

The announcement that a per-
feet prune may be grown in Della
ware points the way to another in
dustry and one that our farmers
doubtless will inaugurate at an
early day. Hitherto the plum that
eventually became prune of the
American breakfast table was too
delicate to mature here. Accord
ing to the announcement of Pro-
fessor Detjen of Delaware Col
lege, the Milton, plum of pure
American ancestry, is being bred
until it will soon be ready for
cultivation and the fruit of this
harder tree may be transformed
into the prune of commerce.
The cultivation of the prune
here will be a great accession tic
the value of farm products OF the
State and Peninsula, and might
add two or three million dollars
to Delaware's income. AS prunes
are always in demand at prices
assuring profit to the grower
their cultivation here will gt
towards solving the problem o1
raising a crop that can be shipped
anv distance desired and can bt
marketed at any time.

ADVISES 2Z2 MILLION
APPROPRIATION FOR CANAL

An appropriation of not less
than $4,000, 900, with a continuing
contract authorization of $780,
900 in addition, to widen and
deepen the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal, with the idea of
finally making it sea-level
waterway, is recommended in the
annual report of Newton D. Baker,
secretary of war, made public
yesterday.
Eventually the CANAL" said Mr..
Baker, "should be enlarged and
its depth increased to rs feet, but
the appropriation which l recon-
mend will enable us rapidly to
make this canal most important
and valuable addition to the COM
mercial facilities of Philadelphia
and Baltimore and adjacent coun-
try and a useful inland, route for
minor naval vessels of the sort
now used in such numbers in war
"The canal certainly affords a
very short, quiet and safe water
route between the great cities OF
Baltimore and Philadelphia. Along
the headwaters of both the Chesa.
peake and Delaware bays, anG
along the route of the canal ano
adjacent rivers, great truck
gardening area is developed ant
supplies food products for severa
million people. Land routes are
necessarily roundabout, by reason
of the deep water bay projections
which intersect the land, while
the connection by sea involves th'
long trip from Cape Charles tt
Cape Henlopen with the addet
length of the two great bays.

the condition of the canal had
been allowed to deteriorate until
much of it is in a dilapidated con-
dition. The protection for its
banks is unstable and in many
places washed away. The estimat-
ed cost of maintenance for the
next year is $250,000, but when
the improvements now provided
for are completed, this cost will be
much diminished"

THE SPIRITUAL RE-
WARDS OF TEACHING
y. S. Commissioner Claxton
Makes Plea for Material
Reward

Claxton had the following to say |
in his report read before the Ma
tional Education Association:
Teachers who do their work
we'll and who, either in fact or by
faith, see the world made better
as a result; individuals made
healthier, wiser, happier; sin and
suffering made less; the common
wealth made more; social purity
and civic Righteousness increased;
public laws made more just; pa
triotism broadened and purified
State and Nation made stronger
and safer against attack from
without and decay from within;
and the world lifted on to higher
plane and into a brighter sum
shine and a purer atmosphere,
are possed of wealth unseen and
for the most part unseeable.
Cali true teachers will think of
these things and many of the best
will be attracted to and held in
the profession by them. 1t will be
all the worse for the profession
and the world when it is not so.
"But this should not be made an
excuse for putting public or pri-
vate education on a charity basis,
nor for paying teachers the mis-
erably low wages they are now
paid. It should not be made an
excuse for paying such wages as
will not permit school boards and
superintendents to fix a reason
able minimum standards of quail
fications for teachers because
young men and women who ex-
pect to teach cannot afford to in
cur the expense necessary to pre-
pare themselves to meet the re-
quirements of such standards. 1t
should not be made an excuse for
failing to increase the pay of
teachers, as the pay in other pro-
fessions is increased, in recogni-
tion of proved merit and in pro-
portion to increasing ability gain
ed through experience, continued
study, and constant devotion to
duty.
Improved Salaries Benefit the
Schools and the Nation
"Not for the sake of the teach
ers primarily, but that the schools
may be made fully efficient; that
children may be we'll taught
that the material wealth of State
and Nation may be increased sc
that we may have the means OF
paying our debts, building oul
highways, caring for our unfort
unates, and meeting other public
expenses and at the same timt
have enough for all the people tt
live in comfort; that our demo
cracy may be preserved; purified
and made more effective; that sci

and artistic expression may b.
promoted, that we may act vel

MANY Able Men Have Taught

"Our traditional policy of pay

men and women with little or no
question as to their professional
preparation salaries almost as
large as we pay to those who have
had many years of successful ex-

brought into the schools large
numbers of young men and women
of unusual native ability and of
strong character and sometimes
such men and women having also
good scholarship and fine cultre,
willing and eager to do the best
they could while saving from
their comparatively good wages
money to start them in business
or home making or to enable them
to prepare themselves for those
demands. Many of the ablest men
and women in all walks of life
have been school teachers. A
qood-sized ex-teachers' association
could be formed of members OF
any recent Congress of the United
States. We have just nominated
two ex-teachers as candidates far
the Presidency. Unfortunately,
however, most of these have re-
mained as teachers in the schools
only till they had begun to gain
some little comprehension of their
task and some little skill in ex.
ecuting it. But despite their lack
of preparation and experience il
