MANY CLAIMS ON TREASURY
Seemingly Some Americans Are In
cllned to Regard Uncle Sam as
an "Easy Mark"

From the birth of this nation down
to the present day. 1t has been the
custom for many persons in all sec
tions Of the country to 60 upon the
theory that the treasury In Washing
ton was In constant danger of over
flowing, and that bins of gold and
silver coin and bundles of greenbacks
were spilling out into the streets and
were swept away in the cutters.
They think they may relieve the
pressure by filing strange and wond er-
full claims.
In the minds of a great many men
and women Uncle San: is pictured as
a benevolent and easy-going old gen
tleman who hasn't a blessed thing in
the world to do except stand at the
open doors of the treasury with a
long-handled shovel. ready and eager
at any old time of the day or night
to scoop out the golden. coin to any
one who happens to make a claim for
anything from their great-grsndpa's
Sunday coat and trousers that disap-
peared during the Revolution, to a lost
mule or Liberty bond OF the present
period.
OF course all claims against the gov
ernment are not unreasonable. Many
Of them are just and honest. and, m
due course of time, are properly paid.
or this latter class of claimants was
George Washington.
During the long and discouraging
years of the Revolution 1t was often
necessary for General Washington to
dig deep into his own pockets in or
der to defray his personal expenses
and for the employment of secret serv-
! ice men and various other things in
cidental to the winning of the war

MOVE TO HELP CHILDREN

Comprehensive Welfare Organi zatiOn,
With Experts in Charge Departments
An opportunity for every organiza-
tiOn in the State of Delaware to be-
come interested in the welfare of the
children of the state is given by the
State Nutrition Program that is being
lnaugurated this month Forty per-
cent, of the school children are under
nourished, it is said. This means poor
health, susceptibility to disease, low
school marks, often diseased adult
life. Practically every child that is
below normal can be brought back by
proper feeding. All that is necessary
is to arouse interest in the condition
of the children among the grown-ups
and then present the remedy. In or
der to have accurate information avail
able, speakers bureau composed of
the child welfare nurses, the home
economics teachers and the state off
cials of the Home Economies Depart
ment of the State Board of Public In
struction, the Child Welfare Commits
sion and the Extension Department of
Delaware College has been formed.
If every organization in Delaware
would devote one meeting to the
health of Delaware's children and con-
slider it seriously much would be ac-
complished in starting a constructive
program that would soon show re-
suits. This state nutrition program
has been started by the State Board
of Public Instruction, the Child Well
fare Commission and the Extension
Department of Delaware College but
it is not theirs alone. 1t belongs to
every person in Delaware interested in
keeping Delaware boys and girls well
and strong. If you are interested and

According to trappers, muskrats
are very difficult to catch this season
They say the "rats" have become wise
to traps and are exceedingly cautious
Many farmers spend nearly their en-
tire time during December, January
and February trapping on the marshes
along the streams and bay shore, as
they have found the occupation more
profitable than any thing else they
can do at this season. They report
that the "rats" this winter are larger
than they have sever caught before,
and that the fur is in the best of con-
dition for this early in the season. As
rule the best pelts are taken during
February when the fur is heavier and
thicker and commands a better price
but for some reason, they say, the fur
this year is in February condition at
this time. Those who make this their
occupation assert that the rats will
work all around the snare, but seem
TO scent the trade even when it is
buried below the mud. They believe
that the animals have been trapped so
much of late that their natural in
stinct of danger has been increased to
such an extent that they shun the
traps.

New Zealand Aids Cupid

The New Zealand government has
come to the conclusion that many
parental objections to the marriage of
their daughters on account of age are
unreasonable. Since early marriages
are advocated by that state, the gov
ernment has decreed that if a girl un-
der twenty-one years of age can't get
her parents consent to her marriage,
she can cite her father or mother be-
fore the Supreme court to give rea-
sons for Withholding of consent.

The Paris smart woman is not

to have your portrait engraved at the

A variation is to have the portrait on

GE0LOGIST DESCRIBES
Ore DUG IN MINNESOTA
Professor Of Geology Department Of
western University Claims Mining
of New Product

Minneapolis, Oct 19.-Minnesota is
producing a brand new iron ore, &C
cording to Prof, George M. Schwartz,
of the department Of geology, Uni
versity of Minnesota. Three hundred
tons a,day of the new product is going
to Detroit for use In the manufacture
of a widely known automobile
Magnetic iron bearing rock has
been known to exist for many years
in Northern Minnesota, DR.. Schwartz
explained, but 1t has been impossible
to call it an ore because it could not
be smelted by any simple process. The
magnetic concentration process, intro
duced by an iron company on the
Mesabi range in northern Minnesota,
however, changes the rock into true
ore, capable of being smelted, and it is
on this account that 1t is now con-
sidered new ore.
This magnetic rock is found in
huge beds at the east end of the
Mesabi range and has limitless posi-
bilities of development, according to
biologists and miners at the Minne-
sofa university. The concentrating
machinery that Is being used was In
vented some years ago by e. w. Davis,
superintendent of the mines expert
ment station at the University of Min
nesota.
1.-THE magnetic ore being used at
present" DIR. Schwartz declared, lis
found on the part of the Mesabi range
which lies east of the town of Mesaba.
The pit Of the Mesabi Iron company
is near Sulphur Siding, a new town
called Rabbit This part of the range
is usually known as the East Mesabi, |
and extends from the town of Mesaba
to Birch Lake, a distance of 20 miles. |
1t was in this area that the iron for
nation of Minnesota was first dis |
covered, but OH account of the alb
sence of rich ores, 1t received little |
attention until recently"

SOCIETY SHOCKED

The news comes that society has
received shock because the eldest
son of well known man and cousin
of another well known and wealthy

| feur in New York. 1t is reported that
| he says he wants to make another
start in life"
Poor society" It's narrowness is
shown-if indeed it is Shocked
by it's failure to realize that this son
and cousin of people of prominence in
society is not the only person who
come even late in life by going to
work. All over the country in recent
of the society set have been seeing
that there is a great deal to be learn
which they have been familiar by
hearsay. at least. As education, good

fine pictures benefit the man whose
daily routine is apart from these
things, SO a bit of real work with the
hands benefits the man who is asso-
ciated only with people who do not
make their living in that way.
A writer has no business trying TO
tell of the feelings. the motives of men
of whose life he knows nothing. He
can not bring conviction nor honesty
to his words. So no man may have
a full life without some practical
of all of it,.
The sooner society" learns not to

here referred to, the sooner society"
will become truly educated in the best |
