perience of the board in this state
and reports received from others. The
awakened interest has been held due
to many causes. Many students quit
during the war to enter the service
or take, advantage of high wages Of
fered, and. others did not enter col
leges after being graduated from high
school. One board member believes
that the fact that those without a
fair education found it difficult to ad-
vance in the army has had a marked
effect. t ~
Other Institutions Crowded.
While the need for better facilities
at the educational; institutions. is held
to be a real problem by members of
the board, they laso have the prob
lem tf caring for increased needs of
the charitable and penal institutions.
"A great increase in the number of
persons seeking admission to the
institution for feeble minded was
commented upon. There are. now 200
on the waiting list Of the Grafton
institution.
Members Of the board OF admins
tration will complete the/ visits to
most of the state institutions with the

found a strongly emphasized plea for
better or more adequate facilities at

Reel" Action
By Automobile
William P. Wollaston's Car Cuts
Caper on Main Street.-The
One Is Injured

There was quite some excitement
caused on Main street last Fridav
morning, when the large touring car
belonging to William P. Wollaston did
some movie stunts.
You have often seen automobiles in
the movies doing comedy in the re-
verse. But if you had happened along
when Mr.. Wollaston gave his machine
the gas last Friday you would have
seen the real, not the "reel" thing.
Mr.. Wollaston's machine had been
parked opposite the Curtis property.
The engine was running and the ma
chine was pointed due south. Mr..
Wollaston mounted his gasoline
steed" and stepped on her" and she
responded, quickly. More than quick
ly, if you take Mr.. Wollaston's word
for it.
The machine was in reverse, un-
known to the owner, and none of the
movie comedy stars ever cut bigger
caper in an automobile than did Mr..
Wollaston. The machine darted across
Main street through the iron fence
around the Curtis property and was
about to enter DR.. Kollock's residence
when Mr.. Wollaston finally regained
control of the machine and stopped it.
1t was funny occurrence for those
who were on hand, but it might have
resulted seriously had another ma
chine been coming along Main street
at the time. Mr.. Wollaston was not
injured, but his machine needs some
paint, the Curtis property needs some
fencing and probably DR.. Kollock's
rain spout will leak until some repairs
are made.

Men Read More Than Women

Men are more studious than women.
Reading the morning paper at break
fast is not intentional rudeness on the
part of the American "pater familias."
It's his hunger for brain food being
given stimulus in the form of a
news appetizer.
With such weighty arguments and
apologies does the Chicago Public
Library defend the American man.
In the reference room, where most
Of the "heavy reading" is done, men
outnumber the women three to one,
according to the librarians report for
the last month. The reference room
figures show that 1889 men requisi-
toned books, while only 2767 women
took advantage of the privilege.
These figures are taken to be au-
thoritative, as summer time is severe
test. Only few of the men are col
lege students, whereas in winter the
figures double.
MANY Of the men are young fel-
lows interested in some phase of bust
ness" the reference room attendant
remarked.
"One man, however, has been COM
ing here daily for six months, read
ing practically nothing but books on
Russia. I believe he intends writing
book of his own"
Science and history, with a sprink-
ling of occult reading, hold the chief
interest Of men habitues of the read
ing room. There's the retired business
man, the professor, the student, the
ambitious clerk and a very few
"bums." The latter are not strangers
to good reading.
"The most popular book OF the dere-
licts is the Bible" the librarian said.
"Then comes the Encyclopedia
Britannica, history and poetry in the
order named"

Delaware Rehabs
Lose Close Game

The "Rehabs" baseball team of the
University Of Delaware met defeat
Saturday afternoon on the college
grounds by the score of 2 to 1, dished
out by the strong "Rehabs" team of
Philadelphia, P. S. A. E. E.
The game was interesting and fast.
Slowey, Of the Delaware team, made
couple of sensational catches in
right center. Millner's pitching was
excellent, barring balk made by him
in the ninth inning, which cost him
the game, as he threw wild to second
on the play, allowing the runner to
score.
Harrington's catching also featured.
Graham had the Delaware boys
guessing throughout the entire game,
striking out ten. McCarty saved the
Philadelphia boys several times by
sensational stops and catches.
The two teams meet next Saturday
at Shobe Park, Philadelphia.

ELkTON LOSES
EASTERN SHO' SERIES
Home Run Decides Series

Matt Donohue's home run over the
fence with "Red" Wright on, both of
them Wilmington products, decided
the final game and series between the
Eastern Shore League All-Stars and
Elkton, champions of the Susquehanna
League at Elkton Monday afternoon.
Donohue, who played through the
season with Dallas in the Texas
League was with the Sho' outfit and
consequently they won, 2 to O. Pre-
vious to this each club had won two
games.
Inc game was great flinging duel
between Bugs Baer for the Stars and
Nose Miller for the Champs. Only
three hits were registered off each
hurler and both performed we'll in the
pinches. Donohue's wallop was the
only telling blow of the battle. Wright
had received free ticket to first lust
ahead Of him. The homer was the
second ball ever to be driven fairly
outside of the Elkton enclosure.
Two thousand fans witnessed the
final game of the series, and it is
estimated that another thousand
viewed the game from the fence and
pearched on wagons and automobiles
outside the grounds. Nine Elkton
players died on the bases to three of
the Sho' Leaguers.

THE LESSON OF RESPONSIBILITY

! A LTHOUGH Raymond Polncare's efforts
~ TO include Rene Niviani in the new
French ministry have been fruitleSS. the
attempt alone lends point TO o heartening
political truth.
The critic in power Is often not such
terrible fellow after all Divested OF nu-
thority, NJ. Poincare has been an impossi-
billst. The type is not unknown in Amer
lea. Mark what has happened here to the
doctrine of isolation within the last few
months.
In his eagerness to obtain the services Of
Nj. Vivioni as a CO. worker the prospective
Premier Of France significantly inclnes
himself toward the principles of moderation
and displays a new respect for realities.
II is easier to look daggers than TO use
them. The nervous tempo of international
politics has slowed up considerably since the
harassed NJ. Brands sensational exit.
After the explosions, leading British jour.
rnals are expressing friendliness for France.
Mr.. Lloyd George has arrived in Paris. The
Cannes conference may not be irretrievably
disrupted. NJ. Poincarc dscloses doubts Of
the Genoa conclave, but the note of outright
animosity is not sounded.
Evidently the responsibility for wrecking
Europe Is not coveted even by one of the
most virulent Of French chauvin!sts. The
situation is obscure still, but not without
some encouraging glintS of light

from any taint of disloyal or rcd doctrine.
II Is becoming apparent that taboos Will
always be useless in themselves and that 1t
is a waste of time to try to compel people
to be good by threatening them with jail
or fines. Censorships on movies, books,
plays and the like serve only a negative
purpose so long as people continue to
desire the things which such laws attempt
to forbid When business men can be made
TO feel ashamed Of doing wrong and when
they can be made to understand that the hog
is never a happy animal; when people are
so educated and enlightened that ugly and
destructive stage exhibitions offenu them
and turn them away, we shall be on the way
TO spiritual and intellectual health in TINS
country and not before.
The general rule here suggested apphes
10 considerable degree In the case of pro-
hibition The best way TO eliminate the
liquor traffic would be to convince people
that alcohol is bad for their health ana
worse for their future and the future or
their children. Better education, tending
TO better general system Of ethics, may
yet have to be depended on to do the WORK
which multitudcs of restrictive laws nave
not done and probably cannot do.
