Weeks Does Not Favor
Reviving Patent Pact
as Hughes Advocates

Washington,M ay 7.-Secretary
Weeks admitted he is in disagreement
with Secretary Hughes as to the adj
visibility Of reviving the patent treaty
with Germany, a step which the state
department has advocated and the war
department opposed before senate COM
mittees.
The war secretary said that the
interest of the war department in the
matter was the belief that no industry
vital to national defense should be re-
stricted from Development in peace
time IN the United States by reason
of patent rights obtained in the United
States by foreigners but not put into
operation.
The attitude Of the state department
is understood to be that the patent
held by Americans in Germany
under the treaty might be sacrificed
the treaty were revived.

London. May English women do
not get off street cars and buses back
wards. This is striking fact, but it
has been largely overlooked. One
never sees the nervous woman with
many bundles who, after careful on
sideration, puts the wrong foot fore
most from the car step and falls into a
pathetic but silly heap. Moreover.
English women, more often than not,
get on and off before the vehicle stops,
IA b~reath-taking spectacle for the for
eigner. You see the tall young flapper
in the usual tweeds, WOODEN socks and
flat heels, suddenly shove her hat down
on her head, get "set," start running
like a streak and swing onto a speed
ing bus. Nobody pays the slightest at
.itention, nc more than when the flapper
or her older sister leaps from a bus
driving through a crowded street. ducks
under a horses startled head and
reaches the sidewalk to drop into her
usual air of imperturbable dignity.
London buses ply all the main traffic
streets in almost continual procession
and they seldom. STOP. So that women
have had to choose between long wait
ing and exercise of masculine agility.
The point is they learned early because
they learned how to walk in the first
place. They belong to a s%trenuously
athletic generation, which is taking a
prominent part in sports heretofore
considered strictly masculine-football,
feot-racing, lacrosse-and they ask no
|~favors, apparently. although the Hon.
Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, who will try
to swim the channel this summer, made
what her sister athletes thought a
|shamelessly feminine confession when
she said that swimming the stormy
waters between France and England at
night was rather difficult. 1.-THE

and plunging of %porpoises, are very

The English girl is not. however.
to have it entirely her own way about
sports, even if there are a million of

lack of enough men to 60 round. The
press has set up a cry of alarm and
there has been formed a special in

viewed with no little apprehension is
indicated by the statements of officials

Katydid Is an Awful Asitator
Among the bits of information slip
ned to the town in the past few days
was the fact, made known by Hudson
Maxim. that a katydid agitates six mil
lion tons of air every time it scrapes
its legs on its wings. If that is the
case. most of ~infinity' must have been
shaken BY the kicks directed against
the public by the health department
in an attempt to make this clean
up week." Bulletin after bulletin has
been issued, describing how nice it
would be if everyone swept the rubbish
from the steps. Some followed this
advice by sweeping it on the sidewalk
The only people who have really
taken an active interest in cleanup
mo two Jobs of 100000 each, in n

the other had all the romantic elements

terminal.

Baby American; Mother Barred
Civil law, however, is not the only
kind with kinks in it. The immigration
laws are assertion pleated. Take, for
example, Mrs. Chana Novak, who be-
came so broken up by wartime suffer-
ings in Poland that the authorities
refused to let her enter the country.
The bureau ordered deportation. Mrs.
Novak is the wife Of a Brooklyn rabbi;
her two-months-old daughter is an
American citizen and cannot be de-
ported. What can you do in a case
like that?

women as a race are heading straight
for . seq extinction, unless there are
speedy and fundamental changes in the
prevailing system of physical education
for the modern girl
Queries are being made into the eff
feet upon .adolescent girls of the drill
and games. Statistics are being gath
cred from physicians and hospitals as
to the sterility of sporting types Of
women"
It is said that the medical profession
has long had misgivings and distin-
guished practitioners are quoted as
stating that strenuous games impair
the functions of motherhoed-in play
ing them women "spend all their CAPT
tai" with the consequence that they
are producing an "emasculated a c Of
men,"
This is not all, the tendency of the
present system of training is to de-
velop the masculine element" latent
in every woman, so that I'VE shall soon
have a species Of human being who is
neither man nor woman"
The alarm is not so big as the head
lines; but there is to be an earnest
study of the whole question which
should add somewhat to the worlds
supply of statistical wisdom. But if it
is thought the findings warrant barring
Young women from the strenuous land
more Interestingly sports, the next task
will be to convince them that they are
barred. Once you've seen an English
girl jump off a fast bus on Regent
street without dropping a hairpin, you
will know how hard that will be.
For the superfluous million-it would
seem rather pointless to warn them of
sterility.

LADY AsToR's NANNY STORY

Lady Astor, during her stay in
Washington, told a number of southern
darky stories which indicated very
plainly that her thoughts as we'll as
her heart go back to Dixie" more
often probably than she would admit.
One of her stories will be appre-
ciated by anyone who was born in the
south or who has sojourned there for
any length of time.
Upon her last trip to America after
she was Lady Astor. but before she
had attached an NJ. P. to her name,
she met her old mammies from Vir-
ginia. Knowing the darky's love for
pomp and ceremony, Lady Astor
showed nanny a picture of her beau
tiful English estates. The impression
was all that Lady Aston could have
desired. Nanny paused for a mo-
ment and then exclaimed: "Fo Gawd.

Wood & Stafford COMPANY

When the REORGANIZATION of the Wood & SAT-
ford Company was commenced, it was proposed
. to sell the entire authorized issue of the Pre-
ferred Stock, that is $150,0O0.O0.
After getting the business into operation,
we found that until we are ready to greatly en-
large the plant, that amount of additional cap
ital will not be required. It is our immediate
purpose to bring the plant up to the capacity of
one manufacturing unit, with a total annual
production of $500, 000.0 90 and annual net profits
of $25O,0O0.O0. This will require additional
capital of only 100000.
Therefore only $~5O,O0OO0 of Preferred
Stock of this Company will be offered for sale
at par, in addition to the amount already sub
scribed, and the sale of this stock will be
closed on June 10th.
Dividends for the current year will be declar-
ed on the basis of a total issue of not more than
1925, 90 Of stock, which of course will mean
larger returns to the individual shareholder
than if the entire amount were out.
The building occupied by the Wood & Stafford
Company is large enough for 10 complete man.
ufacturing. units. Therefore, after the end Of
this year the plant will undoubtedly be consid-
erably enlarged, that is for two or three addi-
tional units, and the Preferred Stock then sold
will be offered at a price much above par.

DELAWARE CITY SCHOOL NEEDS
Grades Show a Too Crowded COndi- :
tiOn-SchOOl Building Needed

Several years ago when going to
school, especially when High School
was not so popular as it is today, the
old school house at Delaware City was
adequate for the needs of the district
but not so now. The building which
a few years ago housed all the pupils
now contains only part of the school
The lower floor is occupied by the
third and eighth grades inclusive, the
upper floor by High School class
rooms and Home Economics labora-
tory. Until recently the eighth grade
also shared these small quarters. The
Principals office is a small irregular
shaped space which was left over by
the designer of the building and called
cloak room. In this "Office" classes
met until recently, when use of a
church building relieved the situation
somewhat. The High School four
years ago consisted of nineteen pupils
under three teachers. Today there
are fifty-six pupils with five teachers.
Next June Delaware City will gradu-
ate its first 4-year class.
The introduction of Home EconOm-
les added interest for the girls but of
fered nothing for boys. Through the
generosity of Mr.. w. B. Jester, a
trustee of the school,in offering rooms
over his drug store it was possible to
add Manual Training for boys. These
rooms are equipped with tools and in
struments by the State. The boys
under the direction of their teacher
have built their benches and drawing
tables. Since these rooms are seven
minutes walk from the main building,
much time is lost by the boys going
to and from their various classes. A
visitor going from the school property
to visit the Manual Training shop
would probably stop on the ay,frst
at the Methodist Church where the
first grade, consisting of thirty-siX
pupils, occupies the Sunday School
room. A little further on he would
visit the Episcopal Church where the
second grade, consisting of twenty.
six pupils, occupies a room.
The little spot of ground upon which
the building is placed never was ade
quate as a playground. On each side
of the building there is lot 60 x 1OC
feet. This gives approximately 81
square feet of playground space pc
pupil, or about feet square. Some
times the pupils increase this by usini
the roadway on the front and on tn
sides.
This school is the centre of a small
consolidation. About thirty pupil
come in on bus from Hickory Grove
Port Penn and st. Georges. The pa
irons are very much concerned abou
the conditions and earnestly hope tina
the next Legislature will make it pos
sible for them to have an adequat
building with proper playground faci
tiles.
