RURAL SCHOOLS
ARE 0v[RCROWDED
This 10 Particularly True in the
Districts Adjacent to
Wilmington.

The public schools ut Marshallton,
Mt. Pleasant, Richardson Park, Rose
Hill, Brandywine Springs, Newport and
Elsnerc are overcrowdcd. In every
one the cubic space per child is below
standard. Besides having four-room
schoohouse, MarshaIlton has rented
two stores, cach containing one room,
for school purposes. Richardson Park
has increased its school facilities by
leasing Tinsman Hall Newport har
converted two cloak rooms into one
recitation room. At Rose Hill room
35 by 80 feet has been changed to two
rooms.
Many residents Of these boro,lghs are
persons who we're forced out Of Whining
ton by inadequate housing. Some have
purchased homes in the rural districts,
and others are having houses built there.
Because of close proximity To Whining
ton the population Of the boroughs is
not likely To decrease. Therefore prompt
and permanent relief Of school con-

APPROACHES TO THE
OLD B. & 0. BRIDGE
Will be Completed Very Quickly
After the Work on the
Structure is Finished.

The approaches to the old B. 4 O.
bridge crossing the Brandywinc will be
completed shortly after the work of con-
verting the railroad bridge into one for
general use is finished, which will be on
September Is, Street Commissioners Pier
son announced today. The work on the
approaches should be done In less than q
week after the bridge proper is completed,
he said Only difficulty in obtaining ina
terials may cause delay.
Work on the approaches has been
progressing rapidly; the foundations have
been laid, and an asphalt macadam surface
is now to be placed. Such paving OF the
approaches can be brought to quicker
completion If the work is not hindered by
the passing Of loads hauling materials to
the bridge proper, Mr.. Pierson said.
He says the bridge will be one of the
points of interest in Wilmington, com
manding a fine view up and down the
valley, and will be much used by pleasure
traffic It now remains to establish due
connections with the roads proper on the
north side.
The approach on the south side will
probably be made by Lowering avenue,
through Scott street and Park drive. A
petition submitted to the City Council to
have the approach made straight through
du Pont street, would involve building the
road beneath the railway, procedure
which would be unsatisfactory, according
to Commissioner herson. He declares
that curving highway possesSses more
scenic attraction than a straight ono, any
way, and adds that few turns will not
Inconvenience motorists.
The work on the bridge and the ap-
proaches has been in progress for long
time. The south approach will be finished
first.

DEMOCRATIC CONTESTS.
Hinge on Nominations for Congress,

Contests Mt the Democratic State Con-
vention, next Tuesday, will hinge on the
nominations for Representative IN Con-
gress, governor and encouragement.
Newton l.. Grubb of Brandywine hun
dred has been proposed for State treas
urer, but he does not want the position.
No Democrat has been suggested for
lieutenant governor, auditor of accounts
or insurance commissioner. William VIM
der Laird has been proposed for Presiden-
tial elector from New Cattle county, but
there is silence respecting the preferences
OF Kent and Sussex counties.
Democrats are lethargic in Kent coun-
ty, which heretofore has been a Dem
ocratic stronghold. So far as Democrats
are concerned county nominations go
aberring in Kent. Few Democrats can
be induced to file nominating papers
there They prefer private business to
public duties.

SUCCESSFUL FUR SALE.
Mawson & DeMany, Philadelphia,
Report Heavy Demand for Fine Furs.

Mawson & DcMany, ll15 Chestnut
St., Philadelphia, are having another
very successful sale Of furs, and have
repeated in larger way the success
which attended a similar event last
season. Despite the fact that furs are
high in price by reason of a combination
of circumstances over which no one
seems to have control, the demand for
high-grade fur coats, wraps and apparel
generally appears to be on the increase,
which tends to disprove the theory OF
hard times. The high prices prevailing
in the early spring about the time Of
the fur auction sales could not of course
last and the Philadelphia firm, realizing
this, waited for the decline, and by doing
80 claims to have been able to buy at
reduced prices, and ut the same time
secure n choice assortment. The sale
will continue for some time.

 "The reason why the Poles secured such an enormous number of prison CTS was because the Reds, who had ious week, when they realized they could not get by victory the food their commanders had told them was in Warsaw, preferred to get some share of it as captives.

 BIoodIess Conflicts.
 In illustration of the bloodIess conflict, Murray recounts the story of a newspaper correspondents visit to Novo Georgievsk, where a general told them of the terrific battle, then escorted them to a spot where there was a newly made grave. It was the only Bolshevik soldier who had been found killed iii the terrible conflict. Yet, says Murray, a Polish general asked a British officer if he thought they had killed a hundred thousand of the enemy.
 Good heavens" the Eng1ishman replied, you haven't killed a thou- sand"

 "A very large number of the cases in which divorce decreeS were grant ed last term are receiving scrutiny, v that paper states. '.In a number of that the Kings Proctor will oppose the decrees being made absolute.
 Get Quick Action.
 During last term some hundreds of decreeS were given during the last fortnight, when, as one official puts it, divorces were handed out like shellng peas.' 7' In pre-war times. the Kings Proc tor seldom had to intervene because of fraud in divorce proceedings more than a score of times each year. Dur ing the last four months he has in tervened in seventy cases.
 One imemdiate effect of this agita- ton will be tightening of the con ditions governing divorce in so- ing of the war revealed marital, inf delities and married unhappiness in many forms among the high and low alike, a provision was made for "cheap divorce for the poor, by State aid. It was argued that the high cost of litigation condemned many to yokes from which they escaped only at an expense to the nation of in creased immortality. So the state which, with it's Church, frowns upon divorce justified making divorce easier for the workingman. It has been proved the fraud was easily practised in these cases, partly because unskilled law clerks dealt with the cases. Conditions under which the "poor person laws may be invoked in divorce cases have already been radically revised.

DESCRIBES WAR
 TN RUSSIA AS
 GREAT ''FARCE"
By EARLE c. REEVES. International News Service Staff
 Correspondent.

London, Oct. 13.-That the Russo Polish war, which filled the news papers of the world for week. and which, provoked a critical, interna. tional situation threatening peaceful reconstruction in several countries. was a farce" is the emphatic asser- ton of H. Robertson Murray, who has just returned from the front"
 He summarizes the case of Poland in the Sunday Times in a striking fashion.
 'In the first place." he writes, "it should be made known that this war between the Poles and Russians ,in- solar as fighting and bloodshed are | concerned, is a farce. Perhaps if the casualty lists were heavier, the Po- fish people might be less tolerant of this peace juggling-and that would not be a bad thing.
 ''The short history of the new Po- fish State has been one continual po- ltical wrangle in domestic affairs, hand and quarrels with the Germans, czechs and Lithuanians on the other.
 Serious Failings Revealed.
 Polish history shows that a sense of national unity was never a strong characteristic of this people, and they have not found it with their restor- ation of independence. Furthermore they have proved themselves possessed cleanliness, and an unfounded self ccnceit, which makes them intoller- ant of advice and criticism"
 Murray brands the Governors of Poland, with one or two exceptions, Including among these last Prince Sapieha, the Foreign Minister, as fatlinS to inspire confidence that they are the men to guide their coun- fry out of its present troubles"
 "The only thing which saved the Polish army from annihilatio1 in tho war" he writes, ''is the fact that | T'ro:czky's Ievics are as iil-trained, as equipped as tho Polish soldiers. ganization in connection with the Po- fish Army is farcical.
 Officers Incompetent

London, oct. 13.-The mills of London's divorce courts start gind- ing today with another new record docket and a sharp movement on the part of justices and attorneys alike against the divorce by agreement" habit.
 The opening of the Michaelmas term of the courts found 2,600 mis- mated couples awaiting freedom. In most cases they are wartime mar rtages. Constantly, since the armis- tice, the total of petitions has mount ed, term by term, until divo1 ce has become more than ever national is sue.
 In America the figure would not be astonishing, fors population of the size of London's. But in pre-war due to more stringent laws and the very low.
 All England gives attention to the startling increase and more especial 1y to the charges of collision in ob- taining decrees which are heard about the law courts.
 "1t is the view of the authorities and the Judges of the Divorce Court, and also that of the Director of Pub lie Prosecution" says the Globe, ,.'that cases of perjury in the Di- vorce Court are so numerous and so fragrant that it is necessary for them to be brought before the Criminal Court"
