Nnw CASTLE. April 29.--At the
monthly business session Of the New
Castle Civics Club held In the old
town hall. Second and Delaware
streets last evening. IL was decided
hv unanimous vote that The club
should go on record as favoring the
proposed filing Of the marsh lands
heween the Presbyterian cemetery
and Clark street and Seventh street
and the river.
At a previous special meeting It
had been suggested that the nlllng
be to the present level of the road
bed of Seventh street, but on a re-
cent visit OF the captain Of the
dredge in charge OF deepening the
western channel OF the Delaware
river. the subject Of raising Seventh
street along this section to the level
Of the southern and northern ends
was discussed with officers OF the
club. This proposal Of raising the
middle portion Of Seventh street was
thought TO be the most advisable
thing 10 do.
William Deakyne. who was one OF
the representatives OF the club APP
pointed TO secure the consent OF the
owners to permit the nll. said he felt
little or no opposition would be en-
countered from the marsh land own
ers, providing this roadbed was
raised.
As this improvement would in
volve considerable expenditure OF
money by the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company, and the
City Council. Messrs. NJ. ]. Devlin,
william Deakyne and Henry J. Kite
were appointed a committee to con-
fer with the two organizations men-
toned and with the Trustees Of the
Commons with a view Of getting
some action in the matter.
Mrs. M. p. Phillips suggested the
procuring buttons similar TO the Red
Cross buttons to contain the name OF
the organization. Five new mem
bers we're admitted 20 the club.

KEEP WILD DUCKS HOME

Breeding and preserving of true game birds; grouse, cartridges and pheasants, is an old and well estab- lished industry in England and on the continent of Europe. Breeding wild ducks for sport and profit is quite modern. A few years ago it was be. lieved that wild ducks would fly away But since we have learned that when properly looked after these birds are more easily kept at home than any other species of game, near ly every country place and bame pre- serve in England has an abundance and already there are thousands oi wild duck breeders in America.

MOVIE STRUCK HAVE
 CHANCE TO PERFORM

Ralph Staub. moving picture photo grapher who visited the interior last year, taking pictures of wild life and scenery in this district and in the Kantishna, was heard from on a re- cent mail, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 MT. Staub is now at his home in Glendale, California;, where he is having his pictures of Alaska made up for release, and states that he is very well pleased with the out come of his visit there. He also states that "camera men and actor friends of mine have been crazy to hear of Alaska, especially the interior. They are all anxious to go to Alaska.
 After selling my pictures, and securing further contracts, I intend to return to Fairbanks for more. But this time with actors and director and film developers. We will want to build a stage and small laboratory 1; IuhS, uOFSlop IHo right in Fairbanks, and then ship them out here to those with whom we have contracts.
 q already have a man who is a first-class negative and positive de- veloper and chemist; also a couple of well-known actors and actresses who want to organize a company and go to Fairbanks"
 MT. Staub states that, providing all arrangements can be made satisfac- torily, his company will come north this summer, and remain here per. manently.

A LIFE TO EMULATE

Many are the homes that will feel the world has lost a singularly gifted and true friend in the passing of Johu Burroughs. His fourscore and four years were crowded with accom- plishments in a sphere wherein few have attained such eminence. Fav- ored with only a common-school edu- cation, and having had to toll in his earlier years as a teacher and as an employe in a government bank bureau, he found his diversions in study and research nearest natures heart. Thus gradually he gained for himself knowledge that won him fame as one of the greatest of naturalists, and with a gifted pen and generous instinct he gave the world some of it's rarest volumes on plant and ami nal life, the seasons and the pheno- to make up much of the pleasurable side of life. Perusal of his works and review of his studies unfold an end less charm. He found in the fields and woods, the brooks and the sea, the wild life and the moods of na- ture an endless lure His life was gentle and such that his humble re- search made him great, and he be- came the esteemed companion of scientists and men of highest distinc- tion in his day. What he learned of birds, and trees, and flowers, and ami mai life is a heritage none can scorn.
 After all, the great wants of men are supplied so extensively from these sources that their study is not only one of pleasurable diversion but likewise comprehends the essential in life. So much more can be gotten out of life by following even in limited degree the gentle paths which John Burroughs trod.
 Alaska affords no end of possibili- aes ia study of the flora and the fauna and the phenomenon of nature. The birds are now returning, the ami Aaas emerging from their winter haunts, the rivers are breaking their shackles of ice, and nature is leaping with life. To take up study on ~ lines, such as botany, and the wild life of the region, is now an in- v&tdng and fascinating possibility. nose who have the more prosaic and sxactiug vacations in shop or mine will find that if they seek commun- len with nature even for brief hterval each day in spring, summer and autumn in this northern latitude, nat they will be thrice blessed with health and fund of knowledge that will be of lasting joy and incalculable benefit. The life of John Burroughs h an inspiration; and one which all nay emulate with profit.

MED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE STATES T UNNECESSARY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER

<@ )VERNOR Kilby's state law en- .N1 fOrcement officers seem to have
 knack of making trouble generally and getting themselves in- dividually into turmoils.
 The general understanding of the legislative act creating a state law enforcement department was to pro- vide regular force to go to the as- or the mayor of a city and to aid generally when needed in enforcing the laws of the state.
 Instead of this. the law enforce ment squad at Montgomery has been running about the state wherever they saw fit to go and more or less messiong into affairs in the several counties. They were only supposed to go where sent by the governor or called upon by the regular consti- tuted law officers of county to aid in such county.
 Quite number of killings have resulted from the activities of this state squad.
 The people generally and the sheriffs of several of the counties have resented such interference.

 As matter of fact Alabama is to- day overrun with law enforcement officers. (.
 Right here in Jefferson county the state law enforcement officers come in at intervals. The government pro- hibition enforcement officers are here nearly all the time. The regular staff of the United States deputy marshals is constantly in the field And sheriff sHartsfield has 26 deputies regularly on duty and additional ones when found necessary.
 Then there are constab,es in every beat of the county, regular police men in the city of Birmingham and a large number of detectives and plain clothes men. There are so many of

Prehistoric Corn

Corn that grew in Tennessee in prehistoric times, possibly before Jo- seph put away his seven years sup ply in Egypt, was unearthed recent ly by ". E. Meyer of the bureau of American ethnology, and sent to the United States department of agricul- ture for Identification" said Edgar c. Horton, manager of the Birming- ham weather bureau
 During recent excavations in Davidson county, Tennessee, MT. Meyer came upon a number of stone slab graves containing mortuary vessels Some of these held speci- mems of charred maize in fairly good condition. From the size and shape of the grains 1t was possible to iden- tify the variety as Many -Rowed Tropical Flint, a form about half way between true flint and popcorn.

man were not profoundly interested in his future he would not make dil- igent inquiry into that state and he would be satisfied with whatever interpretation of the problem others made for him. It is his conviction. of personal responsibility to his Creator that leads him to study the mystery of himself and act accord ing to the findings of his own mind and heart.
 It, therefore, does not seem so much a question of churches as of liberality between churches; not so much of a question of what each man thinks about his duty here and his state hereafter as allowing equal freedom to the other man in forming his beliefs and expressing his aspi- rations.
 There were many varieties of Christians 50 years after Calvary. The apostles themselves debated the right of the gentiles to be enlight- ened. It was 300 years following the crucifixion before a general Christian diet was held and a funda- mental expression of Christian doc Urine laid down.
 The different churches are wheels within wheels of Christianity, a va riety of crafts chosen by men of differing minds and hearts, but all headed to the same port. There is room enough in the stream of life for all without harmful collision.

SAINT CRISPINS DAY By Frank Willis Barnett

In England St Crispin's Day has an additional sig. nificance as the anniversary of the battle of Agincourt (1415). The lynx eyed Shakespeare in Henry VT says This day is called the feast of Cris.

 He that outlives this day and comes

 The lines give evidence that ir England, St. Crispin's Day had beer honored even before Agincourt, bu the victory gave it a vogue, so that it survived after every other trade festival had died out.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT


 To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Those who failed to attend the en- ter tainment at the West Woodlawn Methodist church Friday night missed sure enough treat. The en- tertainment was for the benefit of the church and consisted of songs and readings, all of which were splendid. but special mention is due the beautiful reading by Miss Gladys Pickens. It was a classic, and Miss Pickens held the vast audience spell bound from beginning to finish. From the first parting of her lips until the last word was spoken the drop of the rroverbial pin could have been heard in any part of the church. The af fectionate custom of placing flowers on the caskets of the dead will not and should not end but l sincerely believe that more bouquets should be given to the living who, like Miss Pickins, contribute so much to the pleasure of others and for the betterment of mankind. I would just add in this connection that to my way of thinking entertainments by real human beings are far more in- teresting than anything that could possibly be shown on the screen. There is nothing like the beauty of nature. it makes no difference where you see 1t, and if we would only think more of nature and less of the artificial, I am sure we would be better off There certainly is beauty everywhere. The blue sky the shifting clouds as they form into numerous shapes, the babbllng brooks, the majestic rivers. the white capped ocean, the twinkling stars, the mellow light of the moon and the glorious sunshine are only few of the blessings and beauties which God has given us to enjoy. This is not to knock picture shows, but to urge that more thought be given to the beauties of nature. H. A. STEWART 315 North Forty ninth street, city. September "A, 1921.
