BLIND IN DELAWARE.

Editor Every Evening: We regret
to question your article on the blind
population of Delaware under your
issue OF the 9Th inst. The Commits
sion for the Blind takes the greatest
pains. TO investigate and visit every
blind case in the State each year. The
census gave us in 1920. 13g blind
cases: of these, 10s were whites. 81
were Negroes Our record OF 1920
showed 2ie cases; iii were white and
IS Negroes. Our 1891 canvass has
Just been pwy carefully completed
and card record finished, showing
the blind population OF Delaware TO
be total Of 224 cases; OF these 17s
were whites. 4s Negroes. 20 new
cases 1874 totai blind and 60 partially
blind.
All these casesAave been personally
visited and every attention possible
given 10 their wants. We are satis-
fed that the united States census
could be improved In estimating the
defective population. and their record
is very important TO the welfare
worker, who knows every agency Il
search out new cases.
We trust that you may be able, tc

Along the country road.
Her steps were quite unsteady,
But falter she would not,
Although her children all had homes
Their mother was quite forgot
By all. except the black sheep,

COOPERATION.

Editor Every Evening: have
been watching with a great deal Of
interest the efforts Of the good people
OF New Castle in relieving the distress
OF their less fortunate citizens who
because OF the business depression
have been compelled 10 accept help
which otherwise would be abhrent.
From present indications Il appears
that this work must continue indef-
niteiy.. Up 20 the present time the
methods used seem 10 have accom-
plished all that could be desired The
city officials IN connection with some
other organizations are working In
accord and doing splendid work and
through this channel and this only
should tho work continue. TIE police
department has better opportunities
OF finding out who are IN need and
deserving Of help than any one else
and there is no doubt they are report
Ing all such cases. The credit for
doing this belongs TO no one individ-
ual. as food clothing. fuel and money
are being contributed most generously

AS 7 have said before, this work Is
likely 10 continue indefinitely, and It
is absolutely necessary that IL should
be done under one organization TO
make It absolutely successful. Some
there are who are working In this
same endSavor. as individuals. and no
doubt wiA the highest motives and
well meant, but 70 my mind this is
not the way TO accomplish the best
results. AS I do not think that two
organizations in the same community
having the same object in view. can
accomplish the ends intended, nor can
they do IN fairness TO all that. are
entitled 10 assistance. AS II is a well
known fact that there are many who
will take whatever they can get from
any source from which IL may be OBJ
tanned. in other words, 70 have that
help duplicated. as many times as pos
sible.
II this work was carried on under
one head this could hardly happen. Il

FADS IN wOMEN'S DRESS.

Editor Every Evening: With your
kind permission desire to maks reply
to your editorial in yesterdays issue
under the title Of Why?
During the past few years I have
given some serious thought 10 the
question OF female attire. One can
scarcely say dress, when speaking of
what women wear In these days; un-
dress seems far more appropriate
Most persons must agree on one point,
tviz: that women have always been
faddists in matters of dress. II we
go back 10 the landing at~Plymouth
Rock and come straight down 10 this
10th day of February, 1922. I'VE see
unmistakable evidence Of this fact.
When 1 was a lad, more than fifty
years ago, I recall as though II were
but yesterday. the grotesque appear
ance of the women. logged out in their
hooped skirts, that looked like a huge
barrel or inverted balloon. The waist
line was exceedingly tight. the flare
TO the bottom of the skirt immense,
the waist cut tight and exceedingly
high. Then followed the long, full
skirt. that usually had train drag
ging upon the earth, grotesque and
unsanitary. Then followed one of the
few sensible appearing fashions, the
medium skirt. with tight collars
(known as chobers) which happily
soon gave way to the genteei waist
that left the neck and a small por-
ton of the chest exposed.
-Four or Ave years ago the LADIES
cut loose, and began to chop at both
ends-more particularly at the bot
tom--until now we have the calf
show" and the other show, so that
when fellow falls in love he knows
pretty fairly well what he is TO pos
sess so far as physical qualities are
concerned. The paints, powders and
other additions Of personal Alignment
leave some question regarding the
real character of beauty that may
hide behind the veneered surface
coverings of the face. and the head
gear. too. may be deceptive, for what
| looks like bountiful supply Of brown
black. auburn or pure blonde hair
may prove 70 be largely rats on well

One thing can be said of the dresses

cred al: the limbs and chest. and IL by
chance or accident the skirt was afted
so as to show the limbs a few inches
above the ankle the blush that shone
upon the lady's face revealed the fact
that she was embarrassed. Aside from
the desire to be in fashion, inherent in
women, there can be no question that
the dress OF this present ,I1ila is being
used by thousands Of g.2.s a.d women
70 attract the eyes OF lIys and men.
One needs only 10 stand on the street
corners and hear the insinuating re-
marks made 10 girls and young
women 70 know positively the infiu-
ence that is being exercised upon the
male sex by this show.
II is alsQT just as easy to see that
thousandsfof girls. in the teen age, are
receiving these suggestive remarks
with great favor. else why do they
giggle. smile. go a few PAGES and then
retrace theis steps and again repass
the gay crowd in order to have further
suggestive remarks thrown at them?
The present method OF dress is doing
more TO pun down the morale OF the
teen age"-boy and girl--than ali
other things combined, and it does
not stop in. athe teen age" group,
but projects itself far beyond that ro-
mantle period.
Your editorial had reference to a
new fad. the galoshes. The same
thing applies to this as to the other
matters Of dress. The idea of wear
ing these highly protective articles of
footwear, with the tops dashing and
swishing unfastened, shows the femi-
nine faddishness; it evidently also
shows that many girls and women are
using the galosh as they use the short
skirt. 70 make a public advertisement
of pair Of well-formed legs.
In conclusion, permit me to say
that in my candid opinion, il it were
not az thing that would call for police
interference, thousands Of women ana
girls would this very day, notwith-
standing the inclemency of the
weather, be parading our streets In
the Identical suits that are being used
at Palm Beach and other winter re-
tsorts.
Let US hope that this wild night
mare of folly may soon subside, and
that women win return to a sensible
method of dress.
If Sodom and Gomorrah ever beat
the average american city they were
moving with great rapidity.
