Lively Times in Prospect.

The calling of our Legislature in special
from Monday, has brought our State into
the limelght of public attention. While
much more interesting subjects Will
confront the members, the fact that the
Legislature will pass upon the Equal
Suffrage Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution makes the session one OF great
interest from a national point OF view.
The suffrage issue Of itself will make
lively times at Dover Prominent workers
in the cause Of votes for women will
assemble at Dover, where suffrage head
quarters will be opened. The National
Association Opposed to Equal Suffrage
also will take a hand in the struggle, IN an
earnest effort to prevent ratification OF
the Amendment. And so the members OF
the Legislature will be pulled and hauled
this way and that by the women friends
and opponents of equal suffrage. Some
Of them may enjoy the volume Of attention
that will be conferred upon them by the
women, but others may find their fate
very bothersome.
The situation will be rendered more
intense by the fact 1hat ratification by
only two States is now necessary for the
success Of the Amendment, and Delaware
will be one of the States where golden
opportunity will be offered. That the
workers for equal suffrage viii do their
level best is assured, and it is equally true
the opponents of the cause will do like
wise. 1t is certain that battle royal will
be waged at the State Ca pitol when the
Legislature gets under way

The Cordova daily times., 1920-05-15

While boys from private schools passed entrance exams more credit ably, because that kind of preparation IS stressed in those schools, once they were in college, the, students from the public high schools displayed a higher percentage of scholarship, won 8 larger proportion of degrees with honor, and had a much lower per centage of damonitions and discipl- nary punishment. The conclusion is that, everything else being equal, a boy of fair intelligence trained with his fellows in a democratic public school will not suffer by comparison of his record in scholarship and de- pertinent with that of his more fortu- nate classmates, carefully tutored at the most expensive private school. The New York World adds this comment;
 Tn the light of this tribute, which is sustained by carefully-compiled statistics, what becomes of the sweep ing criticisms of public school meth ods of education? A school system that fits boys for the highest rank in scholarship at Harvard must be a pretty satisfactory system. Perhaps the public schools" have suffered from the fact that they are too near home to permit view of their real merits in the proper irrespective. Their ad- vocates have reason to be gratifed by this testimony to their thorough ness, from the country's leading edu- catiOnal institution"

BOY, IA, SAVES GIRL'S LIFE
Grasps Her by Hair and Pulls Her Out of Sewer Into Which She
 Had Fallen.

delphia.-Walking toward the corner of Wright street, at the Penn. sylvania railroad crossing in Mana. yunk, at dusk, Howard Clampher, four teen years old, saw a little girl just ahead of him suddenly disappear. He stood for a moment in astonishment, As there has been considerable talk about spirits of late, he at first was disposed to believe the little girl had vanished in some mysterious way.
 But a cry made him run to the cor her. There he found the lid off 8 sewer inlet Peering down into the hole he saw the head of a child. Shs was struggling in four feet of water
 The boy reached down and was able to grasp the little girl by the hair. In this way he was able to lift her until he could catch hold of her arms and raise her to the street. By that time she was half drowned.

ARE DELICATE IN C0L0RING
New Voiie Dresses Contrast With Those of Handkerchief Linen
 Which Are Very Gay.

While the new voile dresses are delicate in coloring, those of handker- chief linen are very gay. The pale blues and pinks of past summers are eclipsed by the bright orange and even deep mahogany tints of this year. Organdies are introduced in these same bright shades. An orange color ed Organdie dress is made very much like the straight line voile dresses with the exception of a highly gath cred waistline, the gathers being held in place by an inch-wide black velvet ribbon which ties as sash. The de- signer has cleverly added touch that makes this model becoming to any woman. It is the addition of deep collar of white organdie that is much like a little cape fastening with one button in the front at low neckline.
 Linens and vOiles, however, will not have the fashion field entirely to them selves this summer, although they are very important. There are beautiful cross-barred dimities of the sheerest SOrt-much more sheer than any that we have ever had before.

Draperies in Vooue


 A glance at the pretty dresses in the windows of the shops indicates that one may make use of any old thing to furbish up ones spring gown this season. An old silk dress may have draped over it an old lace dress and short sleeves may be heightened by adding wide lace to them. But not only is black used over bright colors. like green and blue, but contrasting shades are used, a blue over mah0g- any, for instance, or an amethyst over green. They all look very pretty and fresh but experience has shown that it is not fair to judge the fashions of the early summer and spring by the first displays. %

The University of Hard Knocks

The University of Hard Knocks
 The greatest school is the Univer- sity of Hard Knocks. Its playground is the universe; it's president is the Almighty; It's books are bumps. Here we learn all we ever know, and write it in the only book we ever own The Book of Our Experiences.
 Every bump we get is a lesson. If we learn the lesson with one bump; we get promoted to the next bump. But if we are naturally bright" or there is something else the matter with us (and really about the worst thing that can be the matter with us is to be naturally bright" and know it) so that we don't learn that lesson with one bump, then that same bump has to come back and bump us again, and again, until we do learn it. After a while we realize in the lan- guage of Shakespeare or somebody else, Every little bumplet has meaning all it's own" As we get wiser and sort out our bumps we discover we had two kinds of bumps-bumps that we needed, and bumps that we did not need; bumps that we bumped into and bamps that bumped into us. That is, we discover that the Univer- sity of Hard Knocks has two colleges The College of Needless Knocks and The College of Needful Knocks.- Ralph Parlette.

A Whitewash That
VIII Endure

The numberless beating, driving
rains of the long, hard winter have in
many cases destroyed every vestige
of whitewash on fence and barn. Too
frequently, the labor or white-washing
is hardly justified by the results OBJ
tanned. Especially is this true if the
whitewash is carelessly prepared or
mixed "by guess, which is favorit'
procedure all too often.
For a number of years the Govern
ment has covered one end of the
White House in Washington with
whitewash of a special kind. This
whitewash is almost like paint. Does
not scale off easily and withstands
the action of rain.
The following is the formula: Slack
half a bushel of unslaked lime with
boiling water, cover during the pro-
cess to keep in steaT., strain the liq-
uid through a fine sieve or strainer,
and add to it a peck of salt, previous
ly dissolved in warm water, threc
pounds of ground rice boiled to thin
paste and stirred in while hot, half a
pound of Spanish whiting and one
pound of clear glue, previously dis
solved by soaking in cold water and
then hanging over a slow fire in I,
small pot hung in a larger one filed
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir well, and
let it stand few days, covered from
dirt.
1t should be applied hot, for which
purpose it can be kept IN a kettle or
portable furnace.
A pint of this, if properly applied
will cover one square yard, and will
be almost as serviceable as paint for
wood, brick or stone, and is much
cheaper than the cheapest paint.
Coloring matter may be added as
desired. For cream ce!or add yellow
ochre; pearl or lead, add lampblack
fawn, add A pounds of umber, one
pound each Indian red and lanpblack
stone, 2 pounds each umber and lamp
black.

Plant Some Popcorn In
The Home Garden

Don't forget to include a plat of
popcorn in your garden. Besides its
use as a confection, popcorn possesses
much food value.
On many farms where it is not de-
sirsd to grow popcorn as a market
crop, few rows are planted in the
garden for home use. This usually
interests the children and it is well to
let them do the planting.
If it is desired to grow popcorn as
a field crop, the surplus stock that is
not wanted for home use can usually
be sold to local merchants at fair
price, or a profitable local trade may
be built up by supplying it direct to
consumers.
Almost any variety Of popcorn will
give satisfactory results if properly
handled, and, by the judicious seed
selection the chosen variety can be
greatly improved.
Popcorn should be planted early so
it will have long season in which to
mature. The planting may be done
as soon as the soil is dry enough to
cultivate, or when the oak trees begin
to show their new leaves.
A warm, well-drained location, free
from marshy conditions, should be
selected, according to the United
States Department vi Agriculture.
The soil should be plowed or spaded
to a depth of 8 inches or more and
the surface of the plat thoroughly
pulverized before planting. The rows
should be about feet apart. A small
furrow, 2 or 8 inches deep is suffi-
cient. The kernels should be dropped
8 or 10 inches apart in the row ano
covered to a depth of about l inch
The planting should be done before
the moist soil in the furrow has hac
time to dry out.
Grass and weeds should be kept
down as much as possible while the
corn is making it's early growth, anc
the soil should be kept loose over the
surface by frequent cultivation. L
only small plat is planted, it is bet
ter to plant number of short rows

pounds of oat hay, 4,200 pounds of
corn roughage, green forage from
2 acres, and 5 acres Of pasture or

the Southern States indicate that
the most profitable farms not only
produce the necessary farm feeds
but have a surplus of them to sell,
and that the live stock is usually

on the farm where staple feeds
are bought. These facts are
brought out in a series of 16 tests

not a farm is being efficiently
