W0MAN'S LOYALTY.

When the wife of Fatty Arbuckie
was informed that her husband was
in trouble she did two things which
every man to have the deepest
respect for her. First, she issued a
public statement, saying that she did
not believe that he would perform
such serious crime as that which
he is charged with having committed.
In the second place she Immediately
packed her trunks and departed FOR
California, so that she could sit
beside him during his trial.
Now there is nothing unusual in
a wife standing by her husband when
adversity comes. At the marriage al
tar she swears that she will take her
husband "to have and to hold from
this day forward, for better. for worse.
for richer, for poorer, in sickness and
in health, to love, cherish and obey,
till death do us part" That vow the
majority of women keep. In fact, we
believe that on the average women
keep it better than men keep the one
they take. But it must be remem-
bered that Mrs. Arbuckle had not been
living with her husband for years.
They had agreed to disagree. for
reasons best known to the two of
them. Under those circumstances the
world would have excused this woman
if she had declined to speak in his
behalf. Considering the genesis OF
the crime laid at her husbands door
the majority Of men and women would
be inclined to say that she would be
justified il she did keep away from
him.
But she did just the opposite. That
/ first days wind OF adversely blew
many of Arbuckle's erstwhile friends
away; but it also blew her to him
/ The world could easily have sympa
thized with her if she had stage,
away. Instead, she directed that sym
pathy to her husband, who need
every bit of it.
When a man in the British arm,
performs acts OF valor over and abov
the call of duty, he is given that GOV
eted Victoria Cross. In the America
army the Congressional Medal is pin
ned on the breast for a similar deet
We wish that there was some meds
for wives who are loyal over an
above the call of marital duty. We
like to pin one on Mrs. Roscpe Al

the coming trial her husband ca
prove himself to be one-haf as soc

there can be little opposition to

Hullihen was over the military age
when the call to the colors was sound
ed. yet he entered the Officers Train

1917. and was commissioned a Captain
in November Of that year. He served
full two years in uniform.
II is especially pleasing to see a
Post, composed of representative
business and professional men, en-
dorse someone who is not native Of
this State. 1t has been said that no
one but a native Delawarean could
ever hope for any honors whatsoever
IN Delaware. But DR.. Hullihen is an
American citizen first, and as such
should certainly rank with the better
men of any state. --es.-
But for the sake of unity in the
American Legion, we believe that il
would be well if DR.. Hullihen or a mar
of similar high character who is not

by the delegates from the other posts

WORK FOR SCORES OF WOMEN

It is urged as a means of reducing
the army of unemployed in this city,
that the women who are idle at pres
ent turn their attention to housework,
a line of activity they seem to per
sistently shun. There are places where
hundreds of women workers could
find comfortable and remunerative
employment if they would but turn
their attention in that direction. It is
almost impossible, housekeepers COM
plain, TO obtain the services of
woman willing to work in the home,
who has the training or inclination
to thus be employed. Perhaps every
one has experienced the almost utter
impossibility of getting the family
washing done at home, and when the
services of woman are obtained for
the work the washerwomen demand
three dollars a day or even more with
the task indifferently done even at
that adequate measure of compen-
sation.
The relatively few women who are
now accepting positions in the home
are as a rule but poorly trained for
the duties. and very often. less well
fitted temperamentally, and conse-
quently impossible to get on with
Many of such women today resort TO
domestic service only as a necessary
makeshift and do their tasks reluc-
tantly and with bad grace, conse-

CHESTNUT TREES COMING BACK


The fact that many Chestnut trees
in the central part of the State have
recovered from the blight that almost
totally destroyed all the trees of that
variety in the United States, gives
hope that this variety of trees may

formerly did. There can be no doubt
of the fact that the Chestnut tree Is

ter was a serious loss to all sections.
Aside from the value of the nuts

that is available for enclosing the
farms, and, indeed, is doubly valuable
because of it's rapid growth and re-
production. Without it the problem
of fencing is an acute one. II meant
a much larger outlay than had been

TO STOP RUG FROM CURLING
Resting viii Make Floor Covering
Look Much Better and Add to
Its Durability.


After cleaning, machine-made pile
rug sometimes loses it's shape or wrin.
kles and curls up because the sizing
on the back has worn off. Resting
will pay for itself by adding to the
durability of the rug as well as by
making it look much better, and can
be done at home or by a carpet dealer.
Directions for resting are given in
Farmers Bulletin 1919, Floors and
Floor Coverings, a new publication Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture
The rug should be stretched tight
and true and tackled at frequent in
tervals, face down, on a floor or some
other fiat surface where it can remain
undisturbed. 1t should then be sprin-
kled generously with a solution made
by soaking and dissOlving One-fourth
pound of flake glue in one-half gallon
of water in a double boiler or con-
tainer surrounded by hot water. The
rug should be allowed to. dry for at
least "a hours. If it is light weight,
care should be, taken not to put on SO
much glue that it penetrates to the
right side.

GOOD BEDDING WILL
BE AID TO HEALTH
Mattress and Springs Should Be
Carefully Selected.
Homemade Sheets and Pillow Cases
Have Advantage Of Being Fitted
to Particular Bed-Wear
Better.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The bed is the most important piece
of furniture in a bedroom. Home
economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture recommends
that if only limited amount may be
spent in furnishings, it is wise to econ
omize elsewhere, so that a good mat
tress and springs may be purchased.
The mattress should first be pro-
tected by an unbleached muslin slip
which can be washed occasionally.
Next comes lightweight quilted pad,
also washable, for further protection
and smoothness. This can be bought
ready-made or made of muslin and
cotton batting, or an old light-colored
quilt or cotton blanket may be used.
The quality of the sheets and pillow
cases depends on how much one has
to invest. Homemade sheets and pill
low cases have the advantage of be-
ing fitted to particular bed, and often
the materials wear better, but ready
made ones of good quality are some
times more economical to buy. Sheets
should be from "a to Sc inches wider
and longer than the mattress, so that
the ends and sides can be generously
tucked in, and The top of the upper one
turned down TO keep the blankets
Clean The hem at the top of sheet
should be at least 215 inches, and at
the bottom from q TO 1 inch. Machine
hemstitching makes pretty finish for
pillowcases and the wider hem of a
sheet. Seamless tubing can be bought
for pillowcases.
Soft, fluffy blankets. containing a
large proportion of good quality wool,
are generally considered more COM
rtable and also most durable if given
proper care. Many reliable manufac-
turers state the percentage of wool on
a card attached to the blanket. Cot
ton blankets, when new, are in many
cases as warm as wool, but they tend
to become matted with wear and wash
Ing and consequently less warm. Ii
q blanket is chosen with colored

border, the border should be of the
same quality wool as the rest of the
blanket.
ComfOrtables of wool or cotton bat
ting covered first with cheesecloth and
then with an outer covering of pretty
lightweight material are generally
needed in the severe weather Old
fashioned pieced quilts are often inter-
esting, but not very warm, considering
their weight. Striped dimity bed
spreads with pillow shams to match
are deservedly popular because they
are dainty, easy to launder, durable,
and inexpensive. Having two spreads
permits a bed to be kept always fresh.

sIeepina Sickness Thief.

After his illness he showed uncon-

convicted for theft on several oc-

as an incorrigible thief. His intelli-
