III YOU ARE WELL BRED

And you desire to have your elder
daughter call with you, it is correct
to have her name appear below your
own on your calling card. The
card then will be slightly over size.
II there are several daughters, The
Misses Grey is correct under the
mothers name.
You will have no insignia OF rank
appearing on your calling card un-
less you are in an exceptionally high
position.
You will have mourning borders
on your cards and stationery very
narrow. a too ostentatious mark

RACE EQUALITY.

Mr.. Tsao Ju-lin has represented to
President Hsu the ACCESSIBILITY of in
Producing a racial equality proposal te
the Pacific Conference. This is a
great idea. We hope that the Presi-
dent viii accept the representation
and have the Chinese delegates in
reduce the bill to the conference The
Chinese are suffering from racial dis
elimination as seriously as the Japa-
nese. Most Americans in China say
that the Americans are the best
friends Of the Chinese and are thus
deeeiving the majority of the Chinese
people. but facts are eloquent. In fact
no Chinese laborer is allowed TO en-
ter America, while all the Chinese are
denied the right of naturalization.
If the Chinese wish to extend their
rights in the world, they should, first
OF all, demand the equality of all
races, and the Chinese proposal to
the Pacific Conference should be for
absolute equality. 1t is to be hoped
that this point will be pressed until
Immigration questions are settled. The
Japanese blunder at the Paris con-
:erences should not be repeated. Racia
equality is a demand of justice, and
Great Britain and America, which OPP
posed it are unjust. Since they oppose
such an unimpeachahle proposal. they
should not be qualified for speaking o.
justice. China should make great eff.
forts to demonstrate the principle o.
racial equality and Japan should as
slst her and call the whites to- ac
count for their arrogance -Yorpdzu

Figures of the 1929 census ON ag-
ricuiture show that telephones have
been installed on 2.b0S, 500 farms, or
3S.g per cent Of all the farms in the
United States. In Ohio the number Of
farm telephones twas 15947s. The
only states having a larger number
are Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. BY
the same census, gas or electric light
was reported on 452.s09 farms, or 7

HISTORICAL LANDMARKS.

Historic Lewes is commemorative
Col. Samuel B. Davis brilliant de-
fence Of that town against the British
in 1912. Those who have read the his
tory of Delaware know that Col. Davis
saved Lewes from sacking by using
his shrewd wits. When it appeared
that the British would capture the
place, Col. Davis armed his men with
corn stalks, broom sticks, and the few
small arms which they possessed,
and marched them time and time
again around the fort, The British,
firing rockets into the night air, wit
messed these marching men, and i'm
agined that the Fort was receiving
huge reinforcements. Consequently
they retrested ~ the bay without
even attempting an attack. Six old
cannon, and a monument presented
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution, will mark the spot and
forever commemorate the deed which
saved Lewes from the British.
II the little town Of Lewes can dem
onstrate its public spirit by marking
its historical spots, why cannot we OF
Wilmington and vicinity mark those
points of historical interest of which
every school child has read? True
much good work of this kind has been
done by the Colonial Danes and the

The Service Citizens Association has
rendered needed service to Delaware
in past days. but nothing can equal
in Importance the work which 1t now
attempts. This Association promises
Mayor Harvey that it will attempt to
find job for every unemployed man

will have right TO consider itself
one of the most valued organizations
in the State.
In order TO find work the members
of the Service Citizens Association
may have to make work. There are
only two ways in which that can be
done. One Is for the individual MEM
bers to give. employment to jobless
ones, or to induce their friends and
acquaintances to expand their ac-
tivities sufficient to take on. few
more workers. The other way is to
encourage more public work.
There Is much of this second class
which could be done today IL those
in various posts of authority can see
their way clear to make the needed
recommendation. II the public in.
