the school laws in way that will be
decidedly against the interests Of the
pupils and good education. l have
been told that Mr.. Curley, who had
large share in drawing up the pres
ent law, has stated that the purpose
of the above-mentioned changes was
as l surmised. If this report is cor
rect, am more strongly determined
not to serve on the State Board Of
Education, but to leave the admins
tration of school affairs to those who
promoted the new law and who be-
lieve that it's provisions can be used
to the development of good school
system. If they are determined to
try out this experiment, we should all
cooperate in order that a fair test
may be had. One necessary point in
cooperation is to eliminate from the
school system those who do not be-
lieve in the new plan and substitute
for them those who by conviction and
qualification will attain the best re-
suits.
The above is a worthy method of
expressing my determination not to
serve on the State Board of Education
under the existing law, and / only
wish that l might express to you the
deep appreciation of the honor that
you offer me, particularly when the
offer is accompanied by your kind ex-
pressions of good will and, must adj
nit, very persuasive arguments. l
wish that l thought it best to agree
with you.
Sincerely yours,
PIERRE S. DUPONT.

Reduce Standing
Army to 100000

Reduction of the standing army of
the United States to an average of
100000 men during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1922, was approved
by the House last week. The vote was
100 to 80.
A combination of Democrats and
"little army" Republicans effected the
reduction despite the appeals of Re-
publican leaders that the size be fixed
at 10000.
Secretary of War Weeks had urged
that the number be 175,000.
Should the action taken by the
House become law, it probably will
mean that the army must be cut down
about 125,OO0 by July 1, 1922.
Present the strength is about 2OO,-
600 and it is admitted that it will be
impossible to reduce down to 10000
by July of this year.

A Practical Mind and
a Good Slogan

At ten years of age, the we'll
known DR.. John Harvey Kellogg, of
Battle Creek Sanitarium, said to his
father, eff you pay me for what I do
for you, l will pay you for what you
do for me-" He did chores on the
farm, made use of every opportunity
to learn with his mind and his hands
and at fourteen had adopted as a
working philosophy the slogan, "Seek
Truth and Do Good" That was fifty
five years ago. During these active
years DR.. Kellogg has become one of
the most prominent and successful
health specialists in the country. AS
an author and member of various
medical societies his influence has
been widespread. Incidentally he and
Mrs. Kellogg have adopted and

NEWARK HIGH CARRIES
OFF TWO VICTORIES
Defeats Middletown and Team
of Rehabilitation
Students

Twice last week the Newark High
School nine demonstrated their fast
team work by defeating formidable
opponents. On Friday they won from
Middletown by the close score of 5-4,
and on Saturday afternoon on the new
diamond of the Rehabilitation nine,
won from that aggregation by score
of 12-2.
The game against Middletown was
a hard fought contest, the outcome OF
which was in doubt until the last man
was out.
Cronpton had excellent support.
Although Middletown registered five
hits they were so scattered as not to
do any serious damage to the score.
Newark Jumped into the lead in the
first inning, scoring one run and in
creasing the lead to four by scoring
again in the third and fourth. The
locals came back strong in the fourth
and sixth and came within one run OF
tying the score.
From this point on the fray devel-
oped into pitchers battle with nell
Their side scoring and the score re-
naming the same at the end. Whit
locks hurting and Alfree's batting
were the bright lights for MiddletoWn
the Newark boys touching Whitlock
for but five hits.
Many arguments arose during the
game. The score:

FACULTY DEFEATS
kIWANIS CLUB
Wilmingtonians Put Up Game
Fight Against Heavy
Odds

The famous Kiwanis base ball club
journeyed to Newark last Thursday
in all the bravery of white and blue
uniforms, to play postponed game
with the University Faculty club. In
a discouraging drizzle the fracas
started to the distress of those who
enjoyed the spick and span whiteness
of the pretty uniforms.
The visitors got good lead in the
first inning, when they scored four
runs. After Horner flied out, Win
tiers hit for three bases and scored
when Saville doubled. Hoch walked,
but Saville was caught at third for the
second out. Holton's single and errors
by Robinson, Shipley and Davis, with
a couple of stolen bases, brought in
three more runs. Winters triple and
Saville's single scored another run in
the second. The visitors last two runs
were made in the fourth, on Casper's
double and singles by Homer and Sa-
vile.
The Faculty scored one run in the
first on Tarr's triple and Robinson's
single, and took the lead in the second
by scoring five runs. An error by
Horner, pass to Smith, and singles
by Harris and Tarr, scored two of the
runs and then with two on, Robinson
hit to deep centre for a home run,
driving in Tarr and Shipley ahead of
him.
In the fourth inning the Faculty
scored one run, when Davis reached
first on felder's choice and scored
on Runk's double. The last two runs
were made in the sixth on a combina-
ton of errors and two hits. The score.

 Washington, Aug. 17.-The house took up the republican tax revision bill today under a ru!e calling for final vote late Saturday. General de- bate was limited to TWO days with the remaining time given to considera- tion of amendments under the fiva minute speech limitation.
 Before tho house met tho democra- tic members assembled in caucus for a third time to complete plans for their fight on the measure. They held their first session yesterday af- ternoon and tho second last night, but failed to reach nnal conclusions after nearly i've hours of discussion.
 1t was understood chat most of tho time was given over to tho wording of a resolution under which the mem- bers would be bounc to vote solidly against the republican bill. This reso- lution was drawn after the caucus had received . telegram from Rep resentative Kitchin, tho democratic leader, who Is i'll at Scotland Neck, N. C., urging united opposition.
 Democratic members of the ways and means committee wero busy early today on their minority report They have until Friday to file their report.
 Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee. had charge of tho bill on the floor and was expected to divide the time for general debate about evenly between tho democrats and republicans.

.DRUNKS NUMEROUS
 IN BRITISH ISLES
Health Is Better, However, and
 Deaths Fewer !

London, Aug. -17.-Drlfnkenness inI creased by over 65 DOT cent. in Eng land during last year, acording to of! hcial licensing statistics. The reac- tion after the war period of sobriety was shown by 95,i63 convictions, compared with SPAS in 1919.r There were only 29,075 convictions in 1918,
 The convictions of women were 36 per cent more than in 1919, and more than double the total of 1918.
 A Daily Express, while admitting the figures are startling. attributes the increase in convictions to the conl tinuance of early closing regulations enforced during the war and suggests that people who are denied reason able facilities for obtaining liquor, have taken in their resentment more than was good for them when they could get it'' The paper also holds that the closing of properly conducted saloons has led to the opening of many bogus clubs and illicit drinking dens
 Official health returns for 1920 just issued indicate, on the other hand, that the nation as a whole Is distinct lv healthier. Tuberculosis figures are the lowest recorded since compulsory notification cane into force. The number of deaths from consumption was 33.469. The infant mortality rate, so per 1000 is also the lowest recorded, while the birth rate rose from 18.5 in the previous year to 25.4 and the death rate. 12.4, shows a decline at most ages.

HOME. BREWERS CAN
 FEEL SAFER TODAY
House Law Would Permit Them
 to DiStil in Peace

Washington, D. c., Aug. 17.-Home brewing and distiMins, provided Che liquor thus made is not sold, would be immune from the prohibition en- forcement agencies, under an amend ment to the anti-beer bill adopted by the House. The vote was 96 to 54.
 The victory for the cellar distilleries and the kitchen breweries marked the first time since the enactment of the volstead law that the anti-prohIbition- ists have been able to achieve any semblance of success in their at tempts to modify the drastic dry laws.
 Wet leaders were plainly puzzled at the House action. because of it's nor nal overwhelming dry majority, but both vets and drys admitted that the effect of the amendment is to allow home brewing and distilling without fear of molestation from prohibition agents. The strangest part of the procedure is that Representative Volstead. veteran dry legislator. spon- so-ed the amendment.
 The action was taken in an unusual way. The House substitute for the Stanley amendment which the Senate approved and which would prohibit any sort of searches or seizures by prohibition agents without legal war; rants. was up for consideration. The House proposal. as written by MT. V Volstead, prohibits dry agents from searching private homes without a warrant. Then it emphatically de- clares that no warrant shall be issued unless there is reason to believe the private dwelling is being used as a place in which liquor "is manufactur- ed for sale or sold"
 Under the wording of the amend ment, home brewing and dfstilling, So long as it is done to quench the thirst of the head of the house or his friends, clearly would not be cause for a warrant
 The action creates an unusual sit nation. The making of liquor in the homo is illegal under the volstead law which prohfbits~the making of any liquor anywhere for beverage pur. poses. But the home brewer canno he punished for his violation pecaus. the dry agent cannot obtain searcf warrant to produce the evidence.

Movies and Shop Windows In1u-
 ence Girl of Today

The same situation applies to New Britain as to all other cities and towns about the United States in regards to inc home influence of the girls of to- day. Movies, shop windows, and the factory are replacing mothers as to1 chers of the girls of today, accord ing to Mrs. Robert Speer, the presi- dent of the national board Young Nomen's Christian association. In a recent edition of the monthly maga- zine of that association received by Miss Jean Wardrobe, secretary of the local Y. w. c. A., Mrs. Speer has the following to say:
 We have given the girl of today almost unrestricted opportunity; then if we do not like her choice. we are qnick to offer harsh Judgment instead of <. sympathetic advice," says Mrs Speer. We have not taught that self discipline is the first step towards, lib cry"
 Tn one district in Chicago alone there are fifty thousand girls in one industry, all of them out of their homes all day and many living from home," Mrs. Speer added. What is Happening to these girls in one city IS happening to groups of varying size iii every city in the country" she con tinued. These girls cannot share such wisdom as their mothers have to offer.'
 Although New Britain is a small city in comparison with the many in America, there are some girls who l: tay at the Wv. C. A. all of tho year round who have homes but are work ing in this city and must live here. This is particularly true of teachers, many of whom live at the local r. w. .. A. during the school year. Every thing possible is being done at the institution to aid the girls and give them some home surroundings.
 In continuing her article, Mrs. Speer says. Fifty years of close study of girls has evolved a new science as ex- acting, as necessary as honorable, a. old as professions of medicine and re- ligion-that of girl expert" It is, this distinctly new profession that the, Y w. c. A. within it's own organization has created to help girls all over the world.
