CHILDREN'S BUREAU
DESIRES HOMES
FOR CHILDREN

These are indeed hard times in Will
mington. When you hear of families
where the bread winner has not WORK
ed for months, and were it not for
the assistance of some Organization,
they would perhaps starve, aren't you
glad you have your cellars well stock
ed with vegetables, and even such
luxuries as pickles, jam, and Jelly?
And perhaps even today you are plan
ming to kill your hog for the winter
meat.
Have you ever stopped to think that
the children of these poor unfortu-
nate folks suffer, even more than the
grown-ups. Because of their lowered
standards of living, sickness, death
and other calamities occur Whlcn
would not ordinarily take place, anu
thus their children are left without
homes.
At the present time the Children S
Bureau has under it's care about SIX
bows ranging in age from six to ten
wears. One boy, a bright attractive
lad of ten. is very anxious to have a
home near bis older brother, who IS
placed on a farm near Milford. is
there a home for him near his bro
ther?
There are two little brothers, age
six and eight They are devoted to
each other, and have never been sep
arated in all their lives. 1t would be
a hard hearted person indeed VINO
would cause such tragedy to take
place. Perhaps you would like a child
in your home and you no doubt have
a friend or neighbOr who would take
his brother.
And so we could ennumerate the
children who need new homes and
new fathers and mothers to love them
There are many people in the state
of Delaware who are kind hearted and
who love little children. And many
have good comfortable homes, anC
could well afford to give some httlt
tot a chance to have real nome
There are several homeless children
in the State and there is surely home
for. everyone of these in Delaware.
A visitor from the Bureau is plan
ming to come to Milford in about two
weeks. Persons who are interested
may communicate with the Children'
Bureau of Delaware at 1112 King st.
Wilmington, and when the worker Il
in Milford she will be glad to call tC
talk the matter over.

COLLEGE EXTENSION
WORK AT GREENWOOD

For the first time in the history OF
Delaware College has a formal acad-
emic extension center been establish
in Sussex county for students. The
courses given this year at Greenwood
in Economics and Government are
reputed by the University of Della
ware officials to be the best work OF
college culture. These courses, how
ever, are elective for junior or SEN
iors students of the University for col
lege credits, but many persons who
are desirous to become more acqua1nt-
ed with the vital problems of today
and to get a broader conception of civ
il affairs, should enroll.
The courses will consist of thirty
lectures or discussions, on Saturday
afternoons from l to 4 o'clock, so the
nominal price of $50 per student
should induce many persons to en-
roll who cannot expect college cred
it, This means SIS per course, for
members of one course.
The officers of the group of stu
dents are as follows: Instructor, DR..
Vaugn of the University of Delaware;
president and treasurer, Otis P. jeff
erson. DagSbOfo; vice president, VIM
E. Horner, of Greenwood; secretary,
Herbert Peatty, Bethel; librarian,
VIM. e. Horner, Greenwood.
The officials and others plan to give
courses in psychology and Education
under the instruction of Prof Wilkin-
son or another university official, at
Georgetown, next year. This is a
splendid chance for students and
teacher of Sussex county, therefore
encourage the work by your enroll
ment

RACE PROBLEM WORLD
WIDE, PRESIDENT SAYS
Faces Every Country, He De-
cIares in a Remarkable De-
Iiverance in Alabama.

The right of the American Negro to
broader political, economic and educa-
tional advantages, based on pride
of race, but never on an aspiration
for social equality, was championed
by President Harding last week in
speech at Birmingham, Alabama,
plainly worded enunciatiOn of his
views on the whole American race
problem.
These are some of the principles on
which the President appealed to the
nation to "lay aside old prejudices and
old antagonisms, "and give support
to a constructive policy of racial re-
lationship.
POLITICALLY and economically there
need be no occasion for great and per-
manent differentiation, provided on
both sides there shall be recognition
of the absolute divergence in things
social and racial"
FaYOrs Ballot For Fit Only
"I would say let the black man vote
when he is fit to vote, prohibit the
white man voting when he is unht
to vote"
81 wish that both the tradition OF a
solidly Democratic south and the ira
dition of a solidly Republican black
race might be broken up"
"I would insist upon equal educa-
tional opportunity for both.
"Men of both races may well stand
uncompromisingly against every sug-
gestion of social equality. rms is
not a question of social equality, Dut
A question of recognizing funda-
mental, eternal, inescapable differ
ence."
"Racial amalgamation there can
not be. Partnership of the races in de-
veloping the highest aims OF all hu-
manity there must be if humanity Is
to achieve the ends which we nave
set for it."
'"The black man should seek to be
and he should be encouraged to pc
the best possible black man and moi
the best possible imitation OF Whlte
man."
The Presidents address, which tooH
him from Washington on his first eX'
tended trip into the south since 1nau'
euration, was delivered at semi-cen'
tennial celebration of the founding o.
the City of Birmingham. 1t was de-
voted almost exclusively to the race
question.

DENIES RUMOR OF,
ADDITIONAL FUNDS

Denial of the rumor that a special
session of the Legislature might be
called to consider the allowing of
more money to the public schools,
was made Tuesday morning by DR.. L.
r. Brown, president of the State Board
of Education.
DR.. Brown explained that there was
no doubt in his mind but what the
State Board would be able to get thru
this year with the funds already pro-
vided, with the possible exception OF
the ianitor service. He said the Legis-
lature in making up the budget had
cut the amount asked for janitOr ser
vice to $50 a room and that is not
sufficient. The budget allows but $22,-
600 for ianitor service in the entire
state outside the special districts and
Dr.. Brown does not see how it is pos
sible to get along ON less than $44 for
that item.
The situation, DR.. Brown thinks
will be clarified as far as New Castle
and Kent counties are concerned II
back taxes due in those counties are
collected. This would give the board
additional money that could possibly
be diverted to the janitOr fund, but
this would not relieve the situation in
Sussex county for this item as school
taxes collected in one county cannot
be spent in another county. Just how
the money to provide proper janitol
service in Sussex county is going tC
be secured has not been figured out.
Under all the circumstances il
seems evident that the school author
tiles do not consider the situation such
as to warrant them even asking for
special session of the Legislature.

CHILDREN ARE
ASKED TO HELP

The school children of the State OF
Delaware will be asked to aid in the
campaign to reduce unemployment
according to statement given out Dy
State Supt. H. V. Holloway, who COM
pares the unemployment problem 10
the food conservation problem OF 1918
in which the schools rendered 1nValu-
able aid. Supt. Holloway has directed
a letter to school officers throughout
the State explaining that Mr.. Herbert
C. Hoover, who is Chairman OF the
Presidents Unemployment Confer
ence, has called upon the National Ed
ucation Association to rally the school
forces of the Nation back of the move
ment to find jobs for the three and
half million unemployed.
A letter from the officers of the
National Education Association to
State Supt. Holloway requests that
school authorities make plans TO
have unemployment given special at
tention by the children in an effort to
direct the attention of people generally
to the unemployment situation.
In addition to giving special study
to local conditions, the schools are
asked to give publicity to the propos-
ed remedies for the present emergen-
cy and to include in courses of study
provision for consideration of unem-
ployment as a permanent problem.
Emergency measures will include a
general Spruce up campaign" in
which all people of the Nation will be
asked to find the odd jobs, which can
as we'll be done now as later, in order
to enable millions of men who would
otherwise be forced into involuntary
idleness, to earn money with which to
buy food and fuel for the winter
months.

DELAWARE CAR WORKS
GETS FOREIGN ORDERS
Jackson & Sharp Car Works in
Wilmington Will Start Up
On Cars for China
and Columbia.

The Jackson & Sharp plant OF the
American Car & Foundry CO., WHICH
has been running under reduced Iorce
for sometime, will, in the near luluIe'
be operating to capacity in the car
deDartment. Charles S. GaWthrop'
who was for a number of years III
charge of the plant and who is now
yice-president of the company IN ne"
York in charge of export business,
was in Wilmington and announced
mat some large orders had been en-
tered I'D for the Chinese government
RAILWAYS. The company will supply
five trains-de-luXe for service between
Tientsin and PukOW. Each tram wiz
consist of q first-class, second-class
and tbird-class sleeping car, a dlnlhs
car, parlor car, and baggage c"t
and a postal car, and the who're VI
these will be of quite modern steel
design and with thoroughly up-to-uate
interior arrangements, with elecIii0
lights. steam heat, hot and cold wat
or snnplv. etc. The contract covers LOT
the whole of the loose equipment
which will be quite modern IN chaI-
acter. II is expected delivery OF TINS
contract will be made during the nrsI
half of next year. :
In addition to this, the company IS
building at its plant, about 81 mar
row gauge cars for the Colombian
government railways. Alfred ii. cav
tbrop who is now district manager
Of the plant, is expected back from
Chill during next week, and he has oD-
tanned for the company a contract Tor
freight and passenger cars, the latter
item of which will be bullt at Tie
plant These, like the cars for Chlna'
will be of steel construction.
THE prospect for further business
of similar character is somewhat
closely related to the action of Con
aress on the income tax bill" said a
representative of the company. I'm the
event that the total income tax does
not exceed too high a figure-say ap-
Droximately 35 per cent-it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that large investments
will be made in foreign bonds. But Il
Congress should make the total IN
come tax on large incomes at high
er figure-say so per cent to 6O pei
cent-it is feared that the large in
yestments will be made, not in secur-
tiles that will directly benefit foreign
trade, but instead, in tax-free securi'
ties. AS investments of United States
capital in foreign bonds will benefit
both manufacturers and the agricul
tural group, so called, it is reasonab
ly expected that some satisfactory So
luton will be arrived at by Congress
And the impression seems to e]groW'
ing that the higher rate of tax is mo-
productive of income to any cOnsid
cradle extent"

The farmers in lower Delaware are
now well along in digging the sweet

of the two lower counties are to the
effect that the yield this year is an
average one. The quality of the
"sweets," however, is above the aver
age in most localities. At the pres

from 55c to go per bushel. Those
farmers who planted sweet potatoes

received which asked for less than last
year was from the State Tobacco In
spector. also presented yesterday. In
1922 this official received $9S.6l9, and
in 1923 he asks for only S9e,5o6. with
a like amount for 1924 The added ex-
penes of handling the unusually heavy
tobacco crop this year accounted for
the heavy appropriation for 1922.

gagement at the Republic Theatre
with a matinee on Monday. November

This will be the first showing here
of the screen version of Vicente
Blasco Ibanez's novel that has been
acclaimed in New York. Chicago, Bos-
ton, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Los An
geles as marking a new epoch in the
development of motion pictures. At
its New York opening people paid $40
a seat. Critics said the picture had
definitely established the screen not
only as capable of rivalling the stage
at its best. but of surprising it in its
grip upon the emotions.
The Four Horsemen" is the SUI
preme expression of the Great War
Certainly no novel has stirred the
universal appeal created by the Ibanez
masterpiece. The book, now in its
one hundred and siXty-SiXth edition
has been read throughout the world.
TIE monumental task of transferring
il TO the screen was accomplished by
June Mathis. who made a scenario
that from all accounts has preserved
the force of the original and in many
incidents heightened it. But it is the
director Rex Ingram. who has ap-
parently achieved the most sensation
al success. He is reported to have
set new mark in artistry of pic
