THENEW SCHOOLLAW
Tentative Draft Now Being Consid-
cred by The Legislature
MEETS WITH MUCH OPPOSITION

While there will no doubt be many
objections to the provisions of the ten
tative draft of the proposed school law,
now being considered at Dover by the
joint educational committees of the two
Houses with representatives of the
Citizens Committee who drew the bill,
the tax features will cause more trouble
it is anticipated than all the remainder
OF the measure. So the matter Of tax
alton causing probably nine-tenths of
the opposition to the School Code, many
objections are already being heard to
the feature which would impose a'$5
income tax on every citizen of the
State. This means that every man and
woman of voting age would have to pay
$5 school tax should the bill become
law. The IS tax and the graded income
tax, l per cent. on salaries under So, 600:
2 per cent on salaries from So. 900 to $1O,-
600 and 8 per cent. on all salaries in ex-
cess of $4,000 would bring in the funds
to make up the loss by the Is cent rate
The following is the exact language of
the tax plan under the proposed bill
now being considered:
TREASURER TRUSTEE OF SCHOOL FUND
2326-A Section IS. The state treas
urer shall be trustee of the school fund
with power to receive, sue for and re-
cover any money or property bequeath-
ed, given or belonging to said fund; TO

to said fund, except as to stock of the
Farmers Bank, to lease. any real estate
devised, given or belonging thereto, for
terms not exceeding three years, and to
distrain for and collect the rents there
on accruing, and to improve and man.
age such estate.
"2326-B Section Sc. All moneys and
property given to or appropriated to
said fund shall be and become part of
the school fund of the State of Della
ware, for the purpose of free public
education in Delaware.
PLAN OF SUPPORT FOR DELA. SCHOOLS
''2326-D Section So. The free public
schools of the State of Delaware shall

From Coal Gas.

An English engineer, Ernest Bury,
claims that he has succeeded in ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working Of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons Of
coal are carbonized per week, reveals
an average yield Of 1.6 gallons of al
cohol per ton Of coal. The total weight
of coal reduced to coke in this country
during 1918 was 14,635,000 tons, so
that the application Of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity of coal would
yield 23,416,640 gallons of alcohol,
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield further 27,0OO,0OO gallons, or,
taking alcohol and benzol together,
ia, 100000 gallons of liquid fuel per an
mum could be produced from the car
bonization of coal in this country
toward meeting the total requirement
of about 16O,000,0OO gallons.

Cause Big Debate

Senators Borah. Knox and most 9TH
er advocates of toll exemption hold
that such legislation would not be in
contravention of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty with Great Britain, under
which the United States built the
canal. They contend that the provi-
sion for equal passage terms to the
ships of all nations applies only to
the ships of all nations other than the
United States.
President Harding favors toll exemp-
ton. but has indicated that 1t should
be achieved through new under
standing with Great Britain.
Last year the canal earned S10,295.-
362 in tolls. of which S4,724, 494 was
paid by 1.2S1 American ships; $685.
357 by SGT British ships; $3.50, 643 by
122 japanese ships, and S411.422 by
III Norwegian ships. A total of 2,814
vessels, representing more than Is ma
lions, passed through the canal.
The maintenance cost, including
100000 for betterments. was S7.44S,-
PIP, leaving surplus of S2,847, 900.

Washington Discovers the Real Hughes

d EYOND question, the member Of
- the cabinet most talked about at
Washington is Charles E. Hughes, sec
rotary of state. In fact there Is a
distinct Hughes wave, and remote in
deed from the centers of power and
of gossip Is the place in official or
social Washington that has not felt
the influence of this wave.
It is the story of two Hugheses--how
one has supplanted the other in the
popular mind.
The Hughes personality, as it stands
out today, took official Washington
completely by surprise. The unfail-
ing smile, the hearty handshake, frank
ly caused astonishment. A cold, cal
culating, austere self-centered man
had been expected at the State de-
partment. Officials and minor employ
ees there had looked for a chill in the
air as he approached brusqueness
of greeting as he entered sharp
closing of the door with orders that
none was to be tolerated near the Off
cial sanctum unless summoned to APP
pear.
And then came the revelation. A
smile and CHEEKY word of greeting
for everybody and Mr.. Hughes was on
the job. officials who were requested

faces expressing a strange mixture of
unbelief and pleasure. There could

in my mothers room just
4 \ now~
"Oh, she? Little Dorrit? She's
nothing; she's a whim Others"
And thus Mrs. Flintwinch, wife of
the crafty, crablike walking footman
of the household, introduced to Arthur
Clennam the name of the poor little
seamstress Of the paralytic Mrs. Glen
nam.
He had noted her pale, transparent
face, quick in expression though not
beautiful in feature, except for its
soft hazel eyes. A delicately bent
head, a tiny form, shabby dress-it
must needs have been very shabby to
look at all so, being so neat-were Lit
tie Dorrit as she sat at work.
A strange presentiment came into
Arthur's mind that, in some way, this
gentle maiden was connected with
his history.
For 20 years young Clennam had
lived in China with his father, only to
return now, puzzled over a mysterious
watch which that father, In the very
last moments of his life, had given
to his son, murmuring family and in
distinctly at the time: "Your mother"
Naturally Arthur had assumed that
it was intended for Mrs. Clennam,
whom he and the world supposed to
be his mother.
Inside the watch casing was an old
silk paper with the initials D N r
worked into it in beads. 1t was mes
sage-but the young man could not
fathOm 1t and the old woman would
not enlighten him. Was Little Dorrit,
to whom the stony Mrs. Clennam paid
such strange, unusual kindness, con-
nected with the mystery?
They grew to see more of each 9TH
er-the girl and the young man-and
Arthur learned that the generous lit
tie Amy Dorrit was supporting not
only her poor old father. who had
been condemned to debtors prison,
but also her pretty, frivolous sister,
Fanny, and her wild, lazy brother Tip.
Under the then existing English laws
they were all allowed to live with
their father in that dreary prison.
Little wonder that Clennam often
spoke kindly to her and that he helped
the family. But love had not yet
come to him-though it had to Little
Dorrit. He heard the thrill in her
voice, he saw the quickening bosom,
and yet the remotest suspicion of the
truth never dawned upon his mind.
1t must be added here that Little
Dorrit had innocently won the love
of another man, the sentimental son
of the prison turnkey, small of stat
ure, with rather weak legs and very
weak eyes, gentle but great of soul,
poetical, faithful. If one were to
doubt his devotion he need only read
the inscription for his own tombstone,
which the romantic youth had COM
posed when Little Dorrit said mo" to
him. 1t ran thus:

But, at last, the tables turned for
our little heroine. A queer kind
hearted rent collector. Pancks-a
painting little steam-tug of man, with
his putting and his pauses-had
learned to value the friendship of the
motherless girl, and so, having acct.
dentally discovered that her father
was the probable heir to an enormous
estate, had run down the clues until
over to old Mr.. Dorrit.
Then away from the dreary prison
hurried the entire family.
Yet riches brought Slight pleasure
to Little Dorrit. The much-changed
father became ashamed OF his debtor
life, and with the now richly dressed
sister and the gambling brother, put
on many airs. The father even en-
ployed a chaperon named Mrs. Gen.
eral to teach Little Dorrit society
manners.
"Don't say father" declared this
lady, papa is preferable word; 1t
gives a pretty form to the lips. 'Fa-
Their is rather vulgar, my dear. You
will find it serviceable in the forma-
tion of demeanor if you say to your
self, on entering a room filled with
company, Papa, potatoes, poultry,
prunes and PRISM"
At this juncture the wealthy Mrs.
Merdle took an active part in the
Dorrits' lives. The chuckle-headed
son of the Merdles fell in love with
Fanny, and after their marriage Mr.
Dorrit put all his wealth into Mrs.
Merdle's schemes-for had not this
wonderful Merdle,. through various
mysterious movements, made tremen-
dous fortunes for himself and others?

Panama Tolls Will

VIZ ASHINGTON.- legisla-
w ton exempting American ships
from the payment of Panama canal
tolls is likely to call forth some heavy
debating at this session. The senate
committee on interoceanic canals, Of
which Senator Borah is chairman, has
before it the Borah bill, exempting
American coastwise ships, and the
Jones and Poindexter bills. exempting
all American ships from canal charges.
The Republican national platform
last year for the first time declared
for toll exemption for all American
ships, but Senator Borah thinks that
in view of the opposition it will be
easier to put through a bill applying
to coastwise ships only.
