Was Imposing Dream.
Arthur Stillwell first conceived
the idea of the Orient. It was an
imposing dream. He planned the
start at Kansas city and the ter
minal at the Pacific ocean after
traversing great part Of Mexico.
Work was begun at Wichita, Kan
sas, and the road ended at San Al
gelo, Texas, biscing the broad
acred ranches all right but neither
beginning nor ending anywhere
that compensating traffic could be
secured. Through the % Texas
counties little towns sprang ur
along the railroad and for a time
there was semblance Of prosper
ity.
But the drouth of 1917 hit the cat.
tie country. Thousands upon thou
sands of cattle dropped in theil
tracks and died Of thirst. Prices
dropped to panic figures. Cattle,
men went broke one after another

STATE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Remarkable Progress Made In Last
Four Years-Smyrna High In List

If progress in education is measured
by School attendance, Delaware has
made remarkable progress in the past
four years. The State Department of
Public Instruction has just completed
the figures in regard to this matter.
They show that the State sent its chill
dren to school in the school year 1913
1919 on an average of 80 days; in
1919-1920, 118 days; in 192O-1921, 1874
days, and last years 142 days. Schools
cost no more when the children attend
than when they stay at home. These
figures would indicate that the State
is getting more and more service from
the biggest institution that it is MAIN
tanning, namely, the Public Schools.
The schools for the most part will
open on Tuesday, September 5th. By
starting the race for attendance on the
very first day, the average attendance
for next year should be raised to $50
days. The cry of our soldiers in
France was, Lets CO." 1t was the
keynote of their progress. The State
of Delaware has evidently decided to
adopt the same slogan.

At a meeting of the Public Lands
Commission of the State held at Dow
er the subject of leasing the public
lands running from Rehoboth to Fen
wick Island for cunning and trappig
purposes was discussed. Considerable
opposition has developed to the leas-
ing of these public lands to private
parties for fear that in a short time
it would result in a few people get
ting control and consequently barring
many gunners who now enjoy duck
shooting on these lands from the sport
in the future. The commission decid-
ed to notify all applicants for leases
for cunning and trapping that action
on the matter would be postponed for
the present. The commission also an
nounced that the trapping, shooting or
taking of muskrats on the public lands
in any way would be barred. The
commission feels that a closed season
for muskrats on these lands for two
or three years would increase the

EARTH SHOCKS FOR
 TOKYO ARE COMING
Scientists Predict They Will Be Greater Than Ever

Tokio. June IS Correspondence of
 the Associated Press)-The residents
 of Tokio and vicinity who experienced
 the earthquake sot April 26. when
 their houses rocked like ships in a
 heavy sea and moveable articles fell
 from tables and sideboards. have
 hardly been re assured by the state
 ment of Dr. Fusakichi Omori famous
 seismoogist and professor of the Inn
 perial university. that future shocks
 will at their greatest be about double
 the force of the last quake. The late
 one was considered bad enough A
 wall around the Imperinal Palace
 which had withstood shocks for 800 years fell into the surrounding moat :;
 modern granite walls were damaged and a new reinforced concrete build ling, one of several under construction by American firms, and which are be- lieved to be earthquake proof was slightly cracked. However, Dr. Omori says these buildings being on more fragile ground than other Tokio buildings, have proved their ability to
 withhold any shock that might in future visit the city, although the last| quake was only one-sixth the intensity of the shock of 1855 when 50,0O01 houses were destroyed and 6,70O deaths resulted.
 148O Earthquakes Yearly.
 Dr. Omori's predictions are based on the known scientific fact that earthquakes are the phenomena ac- |companying the removal of weak |cleavages thus binding the strata and preventing the occurrence of severer shocks. e~
 There are an average of 1,460 earth quakes yearly or about four daily felt in Japan, not including minor ones which are recorded only on the most delicate instruments and in 1,50o years there have been PA more or less dis astrous ones. Most of these originat- ed under the Pacific. During the last 20 years, said Dr. Omori, the origin of the earthquakes felt in Tokio has been always about 15 or 20 ri dis tant from the city, there being no case in which Tokio or it's vicinity was the origin. Tt follows that these quakes had nothing to do with Tokio as centre,' adds the professor, but it must be feard that, as these quakes decrease in number in the future, Tokio will be, in it's turn the center of vibration. As a rule, however, points several ri distant from the cen ter of vibration feel the quake more severely than the point of origin. For this reason, Tokio, Yokoham and Chiba built largely on reclaimed land vibrate more than the scene of or igin." ---.. er v
