ELSIE HILL, ASKED TO
JOIN LUCY STOr

Washington, Jan. 27.-Elsie Hill,
Party, following her recent state
ment that she would retain her own
name although married to Professor
Albert Levitt of the University of
North Dakota, has received an invi-
tation to join the Lucy Stone League
of New York.
In message of congratulation
from Ruth Hale, President, and
Jane Grant, Secretary of the league,
which was formed to popularize the
the custom among married women of
retaining their own names, Miss Hill
was asked to join it's ranks and at
tend the annual meeting in New
York this week. Among those
prominent in the league are Elsie
Ferguson. Zona Gale, Fannie Hurst,
Gilda Varest and Michael Strange.
Miss Hill has replied with an en-
dorsement of the league, express
ing her belief that the passage of the
National Woman's Party 'tequa1
rights bill' would protect by law the
right of every woman to retain her
own name.
will you convey to the Lucy
Stone League Miss Hills reply
read, my appreciation of their
spirit expressed in the telegram
which I found here at headquarters
upon my return from Virginia. In
all the comment made upon my de-
cision not to change my name it is
a real pleasure to have an expression
of approval from your group"

During the war when the govern

ment guaranteed the price OF wheat
and corn, prices were maintained.
Since then the depression over the
world and the inability to buy on
account of lack of money the price
of farm products declined. Tne
truth of the matter is that unless
some method is established to con-
troll the acreage, and the consequent
yield in all crops, and at the same
time improve the condition OF the
world that it's buying power may be
increased, it Will be impossible TO
stabilize prices.
The Genoa conference is awaited
with interest, since that meeting Is
expected to work out these problems
and place the credit of the world on
a more satisfactory basis.

ARGUING STATES TAX SYSTEM


Grandiloquent arguments for4nd
against North Cardinals method OF
taxing railroads featured the, fourth
day of the hearing in equity before
three United States judges in Green's
boro. The roads are asking the jur-
lists for an interlocutory injunction
to stay the hands of the states tax
ing officials until actions instituted
by the railroads charging that their
property has been excessively assess
ed may be heard On their merits in
the United States courts of North
Carolina.
Through Col. w. B. Rodman, it's
chief counsel the Norfolk-Southern
and the Seaboard, represented by
Murray Allen, chief of counsel, had
their say in court yesterday. Colo
mel Rodman devoted the majority of
his time to attacking the franchise
tax levied on the railroads by the
state, while Mr.. Allen argued force
iu1y for an injunction until the
cases can be tried in court on their
merits.
James S. Manning, attorney gen
eral of the state, George H. Brown,
former associate justice of the state
Supreme court and Thomas D. War
ren defended the states cause. The
states champions read Volumes of
law in an effort to impress upon the
Judges the Importance of being very
cautious about interfering with the
taxation powers of the state.
All the roads have had their in
nings and with only a few ex-
ceptions, their grievances are found
ed on the same principles.
Judge Edmund WaddilI of the Cir.
cult Court of Appeals, again yester-
day made an effort to bring the
nearing to close today. He allot-
ted each road 20 minutes to wind up
their cases this morning, with the
exception of the Southern. r. s.
Prince, for the Southern, who com
menced the hearing Tuesday, will b.
given an hour in which to answer
the states attorneys When court
adjourned at $50 o'clock yesterday
evening all signs pointed to a con-
ciusion of the hearing by / O'Clock
this afternoon.

ANOTHER PRUssIAN POWER

Frank H. Simonds predicts that
China and Japan must fight in order
for China to expel the japanese
from her borders. lie says the
militaristic power is in control in
Japan and that this power is deter
mined not to get out of China, or re-
linqaish anything that it has gained.
He also predicts that the occu-
pancy of Siberia by the Japs will pre-
cipitate war between Russia and
Japan, and probably coalition be-
tween China and Russia.
The political situation in the east
is not good, England is having trou-
BILE with India which desires freedom
of action. Russia is intriguing with
Turkey and whenever the Russian
government gets on it's feet, that
country may be expected to continue
it's activities with propaganda and
arms.
With the withdrawal of the inf1u-
ence of America in world affairs,
and a treaty existing between Japan
and England; which ties the hands
of England, and the debilitated
condition of European powers
from the last war, the east
is left to continue it's own sweet
will, and there are signs they are
lining up together to give the rest of
the world trouble.

fairs are scheduled to leave Wash
ington tomorrow for an inspection Of
Camp Bragg, N. c. They will go on
invitation of General iBowley, in
command at that camp and~the OBJ
ject of their visit will be to obtain
first hand information regarding the
program to have only one artillery
camp in the east. That Camp Bragg
will win over Camp Knox, Kentucky,
is generally conceded, since the war
department favors Bragg.

THE METHODIST DRIVE.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-lf
Southern Methodists are going to
subscribe in full the amount asked
for in the late drive for Christian
education, whereby $33,OOO,000 was
asked for the support and enlarge
ment of the 81 schools and colleges
maintained by the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, the amount which
the fund lacks of completion must be
pledged before May, 1922, according
to Methodist leaders here.
DR.. Stonewall Anderson, secretary
of the board of Education, which
fostered the intensive campaign, is
of the opinion that Southern Meth
odists will complete the great task,
and that when general conference,
the supreme authority of the church.
convenes in May for it's quadrennia1
meeting, the financial objective of
the Christian education movement
will be in sight.
Although the $33,OOO,OO0> fund
lacks 100000 of attainment, it
is said that Southern Methodists are
greatly gratified at the result of the
Christian education movement. Other
objectives included in the movement
were more than realized, notable
among these being the enlistment of
5000 young people for various types
of Christian service within the juris-
diction of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South.

uation, Crafts says is simply this:
Parents Afraid of Children.
Parents are afraid of their chill
dren and. the children know it,"
Parents, from the richest to the
poorest, seem to lack initiative nova
days." the veteran reformer told the
United News
Fathers and mothers are not sure
of themselves. They are afraid to ex-
press an opinion to their growing
children because they dread the ridi-
cule of these youngsters. And the col
lective parenthood of the nation
hasn't the slightest idea of the way
to spend an evening at home guild
ing it's own and its children's leisure
hours
"OnIy this parental fear makes
possible the cheap movie, the dance
hall, the use of the automobile pro-
miscuously, and all the vicious
amusements of this day and age.
''I have found in a recent persoAsa
survey of twenty-eight states that the
ratio of crime is seven minors to oHS
adult. 1 have learned, also, that for
every boy brought to court for crime
ten girls are brought to court for
immoral acts. The Florence Critten-
don Refuge homes report the aver
|age age of fallen women has drop
ped from 28 to 16, and in some cases
IA, within the last ten years.
"Who is to blame for this? The
parents. The very poor children are
the victics of poor upbringing, and
the very rich children the victims
of too much leisure. These are the
two extremes which give us spectacu-
lar stories.
Greatest Problem.
'It is the middle-class parent,
however, who goes unnoticed in the
press, who presents the greatest prob
lem, for there are SO many middle
class parents, just comfortably fixed.
The responsibility of the nation lies
with the middle-class parent. He
either laughs at or is ignorant of
the thought embodied in the chill
dren's hour Too often he has stop
ped his education early in order to
make money that he might live we'll.
And he has never tried to improve
himself.
"Thus parents are too often al-
worthy of parenthood. They are not
onl yignorant of the elementary du-
ties of parenthood, but ignorant of
those refining facts which would
serve to make them the inspiration
of their children
But parents today have lost their
Fathers have lost some
thing of their manhood. They forget
that the obligation of parenthood
does not stop with providing susten-
ance for the family
What the nation needs is a con-
vention in every town, where fathers
and mothers can meet to determine
what makes boys and girls go wrciu
And they would probably realize that
the whole solution lies in get-togeth-
er meetings between father and son,
mother and daughter
Fathers and mothers both have
the vote today; let them use it to
make laws for the protection of their
children and their homes And that's
the way to stop your juvenile crime

DOLLAR DAY AUGUST z

Dollar Day will be observed in Will
mington on Wednesday, August 2, un-
der the auspices CT the Mercantile Sec
ton of the Chamber of Commerce. No
effort is beng spared by Wilmington
merchants to make this occasion the
most satisfactory and successful one,
from the viewpoint of both purchaser
and merchant, that has been held dur
ing the entire ten years in which Dollar
Days have been held IN that city.
Wilmington merchants are distinctly
proud of the record which they have
made through these semI-annual Dollar
Days, to which both merchants and pub
lie look forward with pleasure.
In order to give everybody within IA
hundred miles of Wilmington an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the unusual
merchandise which will be offered for
one dollar, the Mercantile Section is ad-
vertising this event in practically every
newspaper within that radius, and
through other channels. 1t has been
found that there is rapidly increasing
tendency on the part of people in the
smaller towns within that radius tc
form motor parties to spend the day il
Wilmington mercantile district. There
they are sure of receiving a cordial re
ception and returning home with ;
sense of having passed a day in vii
mington which was pleasurable anC
profitable.

SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES AUG. 4

After probably the most successful
session in the history of the school the
University of Delaware Summer School
at Newark will close on Friday of next
week. August A. The enrolment has
been the largest since the school was
started an in many ways it will go
down as notable session.
That these summer school sessions
are resulting in great benefit to the
public school teachers OF the State and
through them to thousands of children
attending the public schools is admitted
by all interested in education and this
benefit is becoming more apparent each
year.
The series of lectures and musical en-
tertainments arranged by the Service
Citizens has again been the social fea-
ture of the school. This series has
given the students of the school an OPP
portunity to hear some of the most
noted lecturers and musicians in this
section of the country. On Tuesday
night of this week the famous Balti-
more and Ohio Glee Club gave con-
cert.
The series will close on Sunday night
when the Rev. j. S. Wilson, of the In.
ternationa Y M. c. A, will preach the
sermon in Wolf Hall and music will be
furnished by a community chorus under
the direction of Miss Dora Wilcox

FARMERS DAY FEATURES

9AATiien farmers of the state visit the
University of Delaware experiment
farm at Newark on the annual Farmers
Day. Thursday of next week, they will
find much at the farm of special inter-
est to them.
One of the principal features will be
the inspection by the visitors of the
fertility work being carried on with
grain and fruit. Dean Charles A. Nc
Cue and his entire staff of workers are
planning to make the visit of the farm
ers of the state to the farm and especi-
ally pleasant one. The poultry depart
ment has been greatly enlarged since
the last Farmers Day and that will be
of special interest to many. There is
also a full crop of grapes this year
which will interest the owners of vine
yards in Kent county and other parts of
the state.
Arrangements have been completed
for a cattle judging contest by club
boys of New Castle and this will also
be one of the special features and will
attract many club members. DR.. j. c.
Lipman, Director of the New Jersey
Experiment Station will be the princl-
pal speaker but there will also be sew.
eral short talks by other experts il
various lines.
Visitors are requested to bring picnic
lunches and remain all day if they st
desire, there being plenty of room oil
| the spacious lawn at the state farm t
accommodate them.

Can Make Cider

Public notice has been given that
Delaware farmers can make cider and
even make hard cider under the terms
of the Volstead act. This fact is moth
ing new to Delaware farmers, for they
have been making hard cider every
year there has been fruit, and will
probably continue to make it as long a.
there is fruit. The Delaware farmer
knows how to make hard cider. and
with many it is a favorite drink. Many
prefer it to most any other sort of In
toxicating drink. The Delaware farm
ers like good apple or pear cider. and it
is whispered about that they know how
to make a mighty fine drink out of the
cider. Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Robert B. Elliott, who, by the way,
was born and raised in old Sussex
county, where they make good cider,
has announced that the federal officers
will bother no farmer who makes his
barrel of hard cider this year, and even
calls in his friends to help drink it..
Here comes the point-it must not be
sold.
