at is growing upon the people,
SAYS the Milford Chronicle, "that |
teaching facts as to home government,
in the public schools, is a very i'm
portant part of child's education. 1t
has been demonstrated that dirty kit
chens lead to unhappy married lives
and that a good cook makes for good
home. while bad cooking leads to dis
satisfaction and family divorce. The
objection to teaching domestic science,
has come from those who are entirely
ignorant of what domestic science
means to them, especially their chill
dren. AS between teaching agricul-
ture and domestic science in the pub
lie schools, the last stands by far as
of greatest importance to the homes
of the State. Facts are hard to get
around in all cases, but especially is
this true of the facts back of the pur-
pose to help those who will make the
homes of the future generations, thru
and by teaching children the princi-
pies of how to care for themselves
and their home affairs, by study Of
home economics while in the public
schools. Well trained teachers in
this department of education, who are
capable of teaching children and i'm
pressing upon them in practical way
knowledge of sewing, of cooking, and
especially the value of the various
kinds and forms of food, is one of the
most valuable assets of any public
school. Manual training goes hand il
hand with domestic science, and it ac-
customs the boy or girl interested il
the course, to the use of tools. 1t i'm

and business men in all parts of the
county, and wheat growers will be re-

SEVERE wINDSTORM AT DOVER
James P. Moore Hit By Flying Tim
bers and Had Arms and Leg Broken


Dover was visited late Monday af-
ternoon between $50 and o'clock by
a vertiable cyclone which did much
damage in some parts of town, while
other parts were not in any way af-
fected. The storm began shortly af-
ter five o'clock which seemed to be
the worst near the railroad station,
the roof of the old freight station be-
ing torn from its moorings and hurled
many feet across the road, damaging
three warehouses. James 2. Moore,
aged 63, of Dover, who was on the
platform at the time of the storm, was
struck by the flying timber and had
both arms and one lie gbroken and q
thigh injured, as we'll as ebing badly
hurt otherwise. He is in a critical
condition and was taken to the Della
ware Hospital, Wilmington. Light
ming evidently struck several places.
| Telephone and electric light wires in
many places in the town were broken
and poles splintered and some torn
from the ground. Numerous trees
were blown down as we'll as many
large limbs in the northern and west
ern part of the town. The rain fell
for half an hour, so continuously that
the town sewer was unable to carry ii
off as fast as it fell. The electric light
system was put out of commission fol
several hours, affecting residences
business places and the Opera House
The lights were gotten in working or
der by nine o'clock.

turers are endeavoring to draw safe
conclusion as to it's possible effect
upon the spending possibilities and
procivties of the working classes.
AS revealed by present retail trade,
there has been a decided shift in buy
ing operations among the public. Pur-
chasing by the middle or salaried class
is believed to have been increased by
price levels more within range of this
type of customer. The so-callcd
wealthy and the working classes seem
to be economizing. The increased buy
ing of one class apparently has about
offset the decreased purchasing of the
other two with the result that total
sales, except in the country's "sore
spots" whore industrial depression is
still keenly felt, are holding up re-
mar9,ably we'll. Considered by sec
tions, the Pacific Coast district is
showing a good retail volume at pres
cnt, according to the business that re-
tailers in that section are placing with
whole salers here.

New-York tribune., 1921-03-21

Weakness in the markets was most
apparent in raw materials. Raw cotton
continued its downward course, followed
by primary cotton goods, and to some
extent by hosiery and underwear. Nom
inal quotations for raw silk continued
unchanged, but buyers asserted that
some sellers were shading prices for
quick transactions. Finished silk goods,
however, seemed to be firm in price,
with buying only slightly under that of
the preceding week. Continued activity
in selling wooens and worsted for the
coming fall season has not yet excrted
any apprecable influence on the raw
wool market. with the result that quota
tions are unchanged locally, although
lower in Australia and England.
1t Is becoming clearer that prices on
raw products are controlled largely by
the supply, which in the case of cotton
and wool is extremely large. On
ilnlshed products, however. since buy
ing IS more of the hand to mouth char
aeter, the size of the supply does not
figure so much in day to day prices as
the location of the stocks. This ac
counts for the flrmness and reported
scarcity Of some items in the cotton
goods field and the furry in spring
underwear.
The purchasing power of the public
is again coming to the fore as an in
ftuenylal element in planning the manu-
facture of apparel, textiles, etc. Fur
ther widespread wage cuts have
brought this subject into the spot light
again, and merchants and manufac-

Price weakness in the raw cotton
market and in the market for primary
cotton goods continued to be the chief
feature of this division of the textile
trade last week. Gray or unfinished
goods have declined so far that many
mills are refusing to follow the mar
ket down and have announced their in
tention of closing up or curtailing pro-
duction rather than book orders at cur
rent prices

goods put in bids for sizable quanti-
ties Of merchandise at prices slightly
under the market. Buying was better
on Friday and Saturday, and on the
latter day sellers were holding prices
rm at about an eighth-cent advance
over Fridays close.
In finished goods the market is
spotty. Business already on the books
will carry many mills and converters
for month or more, but new orders
are coming in more slowly. Against
this is a current demand for spot mer-
chandise in some of the cotton goods
classes, notably ginghams, bleached
goods, percalcs and voiles. Such goods.
however are wanted for immediate de-
livery only, and are not being ordered
for future delivery to any great extent.
Mapped goods, such as domets and can
ton fannels for fall, were being ordered
in good quantities last week following
the price revisions made late in the
previous week.
New-York tribune., 1921-03-21
Silks

The rcadjustment in silks appears to
have been more complete than in most
other textile lines. Business in fin
ished silks is going ahead at good
rate despite renewed weakness in the
raw silk market. Both buyers and
sellers are constrained to hold business
TO short time limits and avoid con
tracts that will not be contaminated
until far into the future. Fall silks
are not talked of yet to any extent,
manufacturers apparently being salts
fed with filling the demands for the
current season.
The favored fabrics are still the
crepes and taffetas, with sport silks for
summer wear coming into stronger de-
mand with the nearing of their season
for use.
The raw silk market presents many
contradictions. Trading was fairly
active in some houses last week, but
others were reported to bs cutting
prices. Coarse sizes arc still in largest
demand.
