Gnnn sHOWING NAnE.

From the Delaware Masonic Index.
That Masonry in Delaware is
making real progress is shown by
he fact that the report OF the
frand Secretary for Delaware shows
hat there are 1878 Master Masons
belonging to the twenty-five subor-
dinate lodges in this State and
probably 500 Master Masons be-
longing to other jurisdictions but
living in Delaware.
The showing is all the more re-
markable because Masonry does not
permit the solicitation OF members.
Just think what a benefit practical
ly 5000 Masons can be TO the State
II they exert the influence which
they should We do not mean that
they could do good by uniting in
one party, in one body for social
advancement or in one body Of re-
ligion. We mean the wonderful
good which we could accomplish by
eXerting our own influence for good.
by working with a will and giving
the best that there is in us to our
own political party to our own
social circle tnd to our own relig-
ious denomination. II is a matter
well worth thinking over

62 MOTOR TRUCKS

sxty-two motor trucks for road
building purposes have been allotted
to Delaware by the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads OF the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The allot-
ment consists OF fifty trucks and
twelve other cars.
More than 2T,OOO motor vehicles
have been distributed by the bureau
among the various States for road
building purposes.
Up TO October 81, a total
of 2719S had been so distributed,
including 1900 retained by the De-
partment OF Agriculture for use on
roads in the National Forests and in
connection with the administration
of the Federal Aid Act. These com
prise virtually all the surplus motor
vehicles turned over to the Depart
ment OF Agriculture by the War De-
partment to be distributed under the
Wadsworth-Kahn Act among the
states road-building purposes. These
vehicles, consisting mostly Of motor
trucks are a part Of the war ma
terials originally intended for use in
France.
Due to a typographical error it
was stated in a press notice sent to
newspapers October 21 that the num-
ber allotted TO the States was approx
imately 52S,0O0, instead OF $4,000.

UTILITY PRICES no STAY HIGH

From the Loganport Morning Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-Uulty
rates in Indiana will not come
down. This word was passed out to
utility patrons today by the Public
Service Commission, which regulates
the rates.
1.-THE commission is aware of the
fact that the public is impatient to
see lowered rates for public utilities
said the annual report OF the com
mission, which has just been COM
pleted. 1T is imposs BILE. however.
for the commission radically to re-
duce utility rates to correspond to
the decrease in farm products, etc.
Utility rates did not increase in
proportion to. or contemporaneously
with the rapid. increase of prices
during the year 1919 and a part of
1920. Had utility rates been increas-
ed in direct proportion to. and
simultaneous with all commodity
prices and labor costs. they could
have been reduced in direct proper
ton to the decrease in these ele-
ments in utility expense"

TO PROTEST NEW
BRIDGE ERECTION

Property owners OF the lower end
of the Ninth ward who are opposed
TO the present Eleventh street bridge
being replaced by a new structure
leading to Fourteenth and Thatcher
streets, will hold a mass meeting
in the near future to protest.
1t is said by some of the resi-
dents of the neighborhood that the
present Eleventh street bridge is
well abe to care for that section
and the erection Of an elaborate and
costly structure from Eleventh and
Church streets to Fourteenth and
Thatcher streets is due TO the ac-
tivities CT spectators.
The property owners served by
the present structure say they pur-
chased their properties for home
and business purposes and claim
that the new structure is unneces-
sary and If a new one should be built
it should be at the site Of the pres
ent one.

II any other Congress has COM
pleted a session of work so destitute
OF credit to itself as this Congress
which on Wednesday adjourned its
special session, to meet in regular
session in December; II any other
Congress has more fagrantly deceiv-
ed and more bitterly disappointed the
American public; IL any other Con-
gress has gone home with a prom
ise as to it's future usefulness more
bleak. II has not been withln the
memory of the present generation.
It is possible to count few good
things which have come out of its
session: but such as they are they
were not the conception and they
were not the ideal of the legislators
who enacted them perfunctorily
This is true OF the budget system
which in its practical phases ema-
mated from the President and the
beneficial working OF which has been
due to the purposes. energies and
abilities OF his volunteer budget d.

II is true OF the problem of handling
the soldier relief agencies and caring
for the wounded and disabled vic
Tins OF the war. 1t is true OF the
peace treaties, OF the cleaning up OF
the railroad wreck and Of the ac-
tuaiities Of Government efficiency
and economy.
But for the Presidents interfer-
ence, moreover, this Congress would
have fastened on the country a bur

Editorial Opinion
CHRISTMAS SEALS AGAIN

From the New York Tribune
The temperance Of Christmas
seals for the fifteenth season Is a
reminder of the vast progress which
has been made in decreasing the
ravages of tuberculosis and the aid
thereto given through this simple
and non-burdensome means. The
idea of Christmas seals is said to
have been borrowed from Norway,
and It was first put into practice on
a small local scale in 1907 In 1908
the American Red Cross made it
nationwide. and in 1919 the Ma.
tional Tuberculosis Association gavo
its name to the enterprise In these
fifteen years something like SEQ
100000 has thus been raised.
But what have these and other
millions of dollars actually done for
the suppression Of disease and the
saving of human life and health? &?
Vital statistics tell us impressively.
In 1904, the year in which the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association was
founded in the registration area Of
the United States, including about
81 per cent. of the total population,
the yearly death rate from tuber-
culosis was 2O12 to the million. In
1919 It was only 1856 to the million.
There is a saving of 756 human lives
yearly in each million of the popu-
lation. That means 75.6O0 lives
saved yearly in a nation OF a hun
dred millions. We reckon that to be
well worth while.
If some city of $4,000 inhabitants
were threatened with a visitation
which would instantly kill every
man. woman and child within its
limits. there would be no hesitation
in appropriating millions Of dollars
to avert the catastrophe. But it is
just as dreadful a thing to kill need
lessly that number OF individuals
scattered all over the country. and
just as noble and benevolent a thing
to save them. II is for the doing
OF such a work that every one OF
these little Christmas seals is sold.

portioning the blame for their own
failure they should not accuse the
press OF doing what It notorlously
did not do. In fact II gave the
brotherhood unions full publicity.
This is within the knowledge of all.
and to declare the contrary is not
only mendacious but silly"
"The resembling of the strike
order was an impressive exemplifi-
cation of the great power of en-
lightened public opinion. which in
this instance so unmistakably dem
onstrated that the majority OF the
people throughout the country be-
lieved the threatened strike was a
grave menace to business and abso-
lutely unjustihed." says the Survey.
There are many evidences. in fact.
OF a widespread conviction that the
strike vote of the railway brother
hoods was intended to prevent the
proper readiustment OF railway
wages OF other workers and with
reduced living costs.
There is no doubt hut that we
shall in time discover a means for
conquering economic maladjust-
ments precisely as we are slowly
conquering epidemics OF disease
which have scourged the world for
thousands of years. The cause of

be helped If the agencies through

Publicity won another conspicuous
victory when the railroad strike sche-
duled for october 30th was cancelled
by order OF the railroad brotherhood
executives.
On October 27th L. L. Sheppard.
president OF the order of Railway
Conductors said that the unions had
decided to call Off the strike because
OF the growing public opinion that
the strike would be against the labor
board, and consequently the govern
ment. and not against the railroads.
1T was evident also that the en-
tire Washington administration was
opposed to us and that we have had
little chance OF gaining our objec-
tives, said Mr.. sheppard.
I'VE called this strike 10 gain GER
tain rights TO which our men were
entitled" Mr.. Sheppard told the As
sociated Press. 1T soon became evi-
dent. however, that the roads were
succeeding in their misleading pro-
paganda. to the effect that we really
would be striking against the gov
ernment
This railroad propaganda found
its way to the United States Rail
road Labor Board. This govern
mental agency told us that it would
look on a strike as against 1t and
the government and not against the
roads, and that the full force Of the
government would be brought to
bear against us II we walked out.
Under such circumstances there was
nothing to do but annul our orders
for the October 3Oth walkout."
