THE HERITAGE OF INACTIVITY
Up to recent years, the business
men OF most towns played rather
lone hand. Many OF them were satls-
fled with small level OF achievement.
Then Chambers of Commerce and
Boards OF Trade became active, and
good workers went In and got re-
suits.
But there are usually n lot OF ex-
cellent citizens and business men. who
have never formed the habit of doing
public work, and those who arc not
fully converted TO the modern Ideas OF
community activity.
These men only need waking I'd.
The first thing is to give them no rest
until they have joined one or more OF
the local organizations working for
town progress. Get them to attend the
meetings. Have good talk on what ia

WORSHIP
 DISCARDED IN SIAM

BANGKOK Siam, January S-White elephants are losing their prestage in Siam, the country which made them famous Although several of these ami malls are kept in captivity in Bankok, the capital, they are no longer -evered by the people as in former days.
 The possession of one or more of these elephants was considered as one of the necessities of kinship by the early ruleds Siam and the other countries of the Malay peninsula. Dis putes over ownership were the cause of frequent wors, in the sixteenth cen tury, for instance, Bayin Naung, king of Burma, demanded white elephant from the King of Siam. Upon being re- fused he invaded the country and cap tured the royal family and three white elephants. According to one of the Sl- amese legends, Gautama Buddah was once white elephant, and his mother in a dream, met him in heaven in that shape.
 No elephants are entirely white The so-called white elephants are only a little lighter in color than the ord1- nary elephants. Sometimes one has few white hairs on the head or tail.
 In olden days, the discovery of a
 
 white elephant was a source of great joy to the people. After the animal had been tethered with silken cords, news would be sent to the king. Then a hody of nobles would visit the place and escort the elephant in stately pro- (cession to the capital where palace would be erected for it.
 After a period of tanning the eie- phant would be given covers of velvet and silk, embroidered with gold ana precious stones. A gold plate bearing his name and titles would be fastened on his head. Slaves, priests. musicians and dancing girls were set apart for his amusement. The finest vegetables and fruits were given to him as food.
 But nowadays white elephants are out of style. At present time they are brought to Bangkok by train, without a guard of honor. They are housed ln ordinary stables, with no priests or dancing girls in attendance.

MANY new ROADS FOR DELAWARE
Highway Engineer Shows Reduction OF $1,000 Per Mile In Costs
Recommends Sinking Fund Be Established And Speed Limit
Be Thirty-fve Miles.
RECOMMENDS BUILDING $50 MILES OF ROADS
Chief Engineer Buck Also Urges Establishment Of COnsauy With
Present State Highway Police As Nucleus And Increased
License For Heavy Trucks.

According to the annual report of
c. Douglas Buck, State Highway En-
gineer, just submitted to the State
Highway Commission, contracts for
6S.6 miles of paved highways were
awarded during 1922, the largest pro-
gram carried on since the department
was organized The average cost of
l6-foot concrete roads in 1922. in
Guiding design, engineering, inspec-
tion and administration, was $4,000
a mile. This is $1,000 a mile less than
in 1921. Bridges built by the depart-
ment in 1922 cost $148,900, or $2,4OO a
mile, and culVerts cost $4,000, or $3.50
mile. The most notable bridge built
IN the year was at Laurel, crossing
Broad Creek River, where a movable
bridge was required
4 During the year rights of way were
secured on approximately "a miles of
construction at a total cost of S87.-
9Sl.S5, or on basis of $1,265 cost per
mile. With the exception of two con-
tracts no highways were designed for
a right of way less than so feet in
width.
In the year 74.4 miles of roads were
actually completed, few miles being
of uncompleted work carried over
from 1921. The mileage built in the
year is 1922 per cent of the total mile
age built by the Department up to
date. With 81 per cent of its years
program finished, Delaware leads all
other States in percentage of work
completed.
Because of the care exercised in the
award of contracts the Department did
not have to call on a single bondsman
to finish the work Of his principal.

Helps Elect County Treasurer.

The Kent County Levy Court met
and organized with its newly elected
members on Tuesday morning. Soon
after the body met the two Democratic
members of the Levy Court, who are
in control of the body, developed diff
erences which were broken by the Re-

candidates. T. Marvel Gooden, Jr., of
Dover, was elected county engineer
for the third consecutive term. County
Commission John Sheldrake, of Har-
rington, was chosen president of the

county treasurer was brought before
the commissioners tie-up developed.
1t is understood that County Commits
sioner Boyer favored J. W. Arthurs,
of KentOn, while Commissioner Shell
drake favored William H. POore, of
KentOn. Commissioner Herring is said
to have voted for Arthurs after the
second ballot, thus electing him as

4OPER CENTOF SCHOOL
CHILDREN UNDER FED
Helpful Campaign To Be Started In
Delaware During January In
Relief Of Conditions.

During January there is to be start
ed within the State of Delaware one
of the most interesting and helpful
pieces of work that has ever been at
tempted by any organization. This is
the launching by the Delaware State
Board of Public Instruction, the State
Child Welfare Commission, the Della
ware State Parent Teacher Associa-
tion and Delaware College Extension
Department, of State Nutrition pro-
gram.
Forty per cent of the school chill
dren of Delaware as shown by medi-
cal examination are under nourished.
In order to try and correct this de-
plorable and preVentable condition the
above named organizations have
agreed on a program that will do
much to give the children a fair start
in life.
Under nOurishment does not mean
that the children do not have enough
to eat but that they are not getting
the food their bodies need in order to
grow strong and well. The object of
this state program is to arouse inter-
est among all the people of Delaware
in the health of Delaware children
and to present to those responsible
for the health of the children easy
and simple methods of planning
health for the body.
Each organization has it's own part
in the program. The Child Welfare
Commission has charge of the physi-
cal examination of the children. The
State Board of Public instruction is
cooperating through the home econ
omics department of the vocational
high schools. The home economics
girls are taking charge of the children
found below normal by the physical
examination, weighing them weekly,
their diets and charting their
gains. The Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton is q ing to present the importance
of the nj triton work to the parents at
their local meetings while the Exten-
sion Department of Delaware College
has nutrition study classes for the ru-
raj women in all parts of the state and |
Is to hold four three-day nutrition |
schools; one in each of New Castle !
and Kent counties and two in Sussex |
county.
This program belongs not only to |
.hese organizations who are taking |
he initial steps but to every man and
and organization in Delaware.
Io bigger work can be done than
helping to improve the condition of
he children of the state. 1t is hoped
~ those in charge that there will be
IN active interest manifested by the
public.
Those desiring to know more of the
,lan can secure information by writ
ng Miss Kathryn E. Woods, Delaware
Newark.
