WATER QUESTION AT
DELAWARE CITY
Supply Now Said to be Pure and
Purchase of Plant is Being
Discussed.

STAFF Correspondence of Every Evening.
Delaware City. Feb. 1.-THE mayor
and City Council at a special meeting
last Tuesday night decided that the
local water supply is satisfactory for
domestic purposes without boiling and
have so notified the inhabitants. who
had been boiling their water for some
time following orders from the mayor
ana Council that this be done.
REPORTS have been received from the
state chemist of this state and the
state of Maryland also. in both of
which the water is declared fit FOR
drinking aud domestic purposes with
out necessity FOR boiling.
This action by the local authorities
is IntCrcstipe as several months ago
rcl.or. ui the United States Pablo
Health Service indicated that the local
water supply Was contaminated. 1t
was upon receipt Of this report that
the authorities ordered water be boiled
before being used for domestic pur-
poses.
In view OF this latest development.
it Is now probable that some action
may be taken regarding the purchase
OF the local water system. This qucs-
tion has been aeitatcd for some time
ana a number 1t people favor the pur-
chase Of the plant Whether any ac-
ton could be taken at this time is
rroblematical however as no act was
presented to the Legislature TO author
ize bond issue which would have
been required in order to make the
purchase For this reason, 1t is now
thought that the issue Will lie dormant
now until some future time. when
legislation is secured to permit the

in the explanation of this paradox. Sum

LEAGUE WITH REDS
 IS DEAR BARGAIN
Sc Declares John w. Davis in Address at Union College Commence
 ment Exercises.

Schenectady, N. Y., June 13.-The world waits impatiently for the ending of the mad dance of death that has overtaken unhappy Russia, John W. Davis, former ambassador to Great Britain declared today before the 125th graduating class of Union college.
 Tn the meantime" he continued, ''any compromise with the Bolshevik creed is but a league with death. Be- tween such doctrines of class rule and class hatred and those which have made America there is gulf as wide as that between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, life and death.''
 MT. Davis address was given after he was given the honorary degree of doctor of laws and the honorary degree of master of arts was conferred upon Maud Adams, actress, the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Union college.
 The former ambassador chose for the subject of his remarks ''Americanism.
 True Americanism,' he said, "does not lie in loud Reclamation or noisy rhetoric; not in boasting of our power and grandeur, or parading before man. kind our own self righteousness. It does not consist in vast contempt for other nations or rude discourtesy in private or official circles. There is no real patriotism in bad manners. One may even be good American without insisting that none but American flags shall be carried in patriotic parades.''

"sEILINGPLATERs."

On the sport pages of New York newspapers the other day appeared the announcement that a selling platter had won big race-a race in which the animal had been expected 70 be among the "also rans."
 The name Is not given to a running horse unless he has seemed to have proven himself possessed of no re- unarkablc speed. or of no other note worthy characteristic among running horses. A sellingplater may be had by tho highest bidder after any race. He is smiled at; little consideration is given him by those who study the bdops" on a race, trying to pick the winner.
 And yet this sellingpIater fooled them all.
 Often a horse is pulled" dishon- sstly in race after race. in order that hs may win when the odds are long --when the man who bets on him will receive perhaps twenty dollars for every one he bets on the horse to win. He has been saved for killing"
 But such animals arc not selling piaters. Their owners believe in them and would not part with them. They know that such horses have the speed, but they arc trying to convince tho betting public that they possess 1t not until tho odds become lorg and the stage is set for the killing.
 So 1t is probable that the selling platter when he wins, surprises the owner as thoroughly as he surprises others.
 Many men are considered selling platora." They never have done any thing to bring especial notice to them. They have lived on, apparently try Ing to make successes Of life. They

touched. Ho is reused to action and he takes a place hitherto denied him because of his failure to assert him self.
 Today in the world. in the state. in the city. town and community. the track is ready for the mea who have been obscure. as it never was before There are men who never deserved to be relegated to the background, but who have found themselves there because of innate dislike for pushing themselves forward, who will come to the front in the great stake. So eager are the people for all to do their share in leading toward more pros porous times. that they will look about, refuse to follow the dictates of others who have ulterior motives, and will .call forward those in whom they have confidence inspired by a per- sonal knowledge.
 And never was the duty of men who have been content to remain ia the background been so apparent They have no right to bury their tall ents. Those about them need their help. They should offer it if convic- ton is theirs that they have some thing to give-and what strong man has not?

MORE DWELLINGS.

The building report for last week contemplated, and the change is for the better.
 Recently it was reported that nest of the permits issued were for chicken coops, which indicated a more general intention to use eggs for food instead of meat. and for garages. sug- gesting that the present conditions, so much complained of. had not made deep impression upon the finances of automobile owners.
 Of the 2s permits issued last week seven were for dwellings to be con- structed at a cost of s52.75e, and only five for garages. te cost ss.7eo. The other permits were for Improvements, additions. re-roofing.
 While the analysis of the building report for only one week proves nothing. it is another of the evidences that come occasionally that even hard times cloud has a silver lining. Build ing material and labor have dropped 25 per cent.
 The need of more dwellings will exist for sometime to come, and will be accentuated as work becomes more plentiful. Every report therefore of in= creased building activity. which takes the form of more dwellings, should encourage.

COST OF LHVING.
encourage

The deductions of pr. ". E. Moshsr, of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research, sffsed on the cost of living in New YoYk. Mre that a single man can get along en less than q single woman.
 Immediately there comes the thought of dress, when the cost of a mans living is compared with that of woman. It is the popular idea that in this regard a woman spends far more than a. man. The idea is especial ly prevalent among husbands.
 According to the data obtained, it is declared that single man may live on s1.O93.6s. while a single wom- an needs $1,I1s-0s a year.
 And according to the figures single woman is allowed $2s a year more for dress than a man.
 Taking these figures as 2 basis 1t may be seen that the single woman may properly spend on dress just about the amount of the difference between her cost of living and that
 
 which the man and the woman are called permits of their spending more say five times as much. the women have a right if these deduction are correct, to spend five times s2s more than a single man in the same posi- ton.
 In other words were the cost of dressing properly the same ia the case of the man and the women, their permissible yearly living expenses would be practically the same.
 It should be remembered that these figures are supposed to be practical and fair. No allowance is supposed to be made for the innate fondness for pretty things that possesses the woman to a greater degree than the man. Tho figures tell what a man and woman may set along on with due economy without ostentation or a sur render to foolish desires in the matter of living.
 So, if the single woman spends no more than the amount represented by the ratio of that s2S to her total ex- pense of living, above the amount spent by a man in the same position, no one may complain that she is extragagant.
 As a basis of argument among people who are not single, the data may be considered.

DISPLAY THE FLAG.

Tomorrow will be Flag Day.
 Tomorrow will bG the ona hundred and forty-fourth anniversary of the adoption by Congress of the flag of tha United States.
 The Governor of this state. in com plianco with an act of t@~ General Assembly, has directed ths~ -hose who train tho young shall arrange appro- priate ceremonies to imprs~S upon their pupils the significance of that nag.
 It is asked in the Governors proc 7 lamatiou that the people of the state join upon that day in the general dis play of the flag. thus showing their honor and respect for the flag and tholr loyalty to the principles for which n stands.
 Americans are apt to take loyalty too much for granted.
 What Is the necessity. is asked. for making extra exertion to make spec taeular display of tfe flag to impress our children? We are loyal; we love the flag. What else could our chill dTen do but be loyal and love the aaE?
 As we'll might the statement be made, tho question asked: We are Christian people: we believe in God. What else could our children be but Christians; what elso than believers in God ?''
 And yet men and women, church goers or non-churehgoers see to it that their children learn of Jesus Christ. Parents may be of doubtful faith. but when it comes to tho rear ing of their offspring they take good care that those children learn the ruaiments of the Christian religion whatever their creed.
 Never before. perhaps. was 1t so necessary that the understanding of what tho flag means. or what 1t ought to mean. bo instl1led into the young. The day should be observed with all earnestness for their sakes if for none other.
 And never before, perhaps. was 1t SO necessary that adults who live be- heath that flag pledge. silently. a re- uswaI of their devotion to it.
 Because we are human we need some tangible evidence of what we teol. what wo believe, what we honor.
 The flag is that tangible evidence that thing which represents the pa triotlsm that should be inborn in us.
 Display it tomorrow. The day should be emphasized because of it's new significance: because of the pres snt nsed-and because of the glorious tradition which surrounds the Stars and Stripes: because of that for which t has stood-for which it will stand always.
