TRUE RELIGION?

No human being knows what is the so-called
True Religion" No earnest rabbi priest or
preacher who has the highest conception of his
calling every processes to know and those who mis-
takenly believe theirs to be the only true religion
are hardly capable as spiritual leaders. Why? Be-
with such an idea they can be nothing else
but bigoted and narrow-minded Every religion
has its bad well its good points, and this fact
should be recognized by everyone.

homes better for children to grow
up in. Cowhide brogans were good
enough for their ancestors, but we
doubt that even these backfrers
against progress, would put up with
cowhide shoes for themselves today;
they might permit their children to
wear them-if the children would;
but happily the children will not
bow to that kind of ignorant tyran-
ny.
Ok carts and sail boats were used
by the people of one hundred years
ago. Sand rutted roads and mud
holes were the highways then, but
even those who were so ignorant as
to oppose the building of concrete
roads a few years ago, would not
have the state or country go back to
the roads of even twenty-five years
ago. Let public school education fit
the people to make use of all the
wonderful advantages of our pres
ent day and generation.

The possibility of coal shortage
revives the customary discussion of
the cost of living. The miners and
operators have in their employ sta
tisticians who can, undoubtedly, take
the same set of figures and reach
two different conclusions. The or
ganized workers are showing that
living costs have advanced, while the
mine owners argue to the contrary.
The question will probably be car
ried into Congress within a few
weeks, so that it is of considerable
interest here.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the Department of Labor is recog-
nized as one of the high authorities
on statistical research. Although the
average head of the family may not
admit it, figures show that the year
ly expenditures for clothing, for in
stance, have been lowered. An analy-
sis based upon the Government fig
ures, giving theaverage number of
persons per family as 40, shows that
the average expenditure for clothing
per family (for males) was $110S1
as against $119.24 in 1918. This esti-
mate covers ready-tO-wear clothes
for which the average expenditure
was $5644 in 1924.
We are told by these statisticians
that the average family paid $24.43
for shoes in 1924 and S16.59 for un-
dershirts and socks. The average
per family expenditure for umbrel-
las in 1918 amounted to % cents but
this was reduced by one cent in 1924.
There may be some significance to
the fact that the average family eX-
penditure for pocketbooks of seven
cents for 1918 remained unchanged
six years later.
That the upkeep of women in
families is more expensive than the
man is revealed in these latest fig
ures, which show an average ex-
penditure per family (fOr females)
of $11S.SO in 1924 as against $115.68
in 1918. Adding $8.49 for unclassified
clothing expenditures, the average
family spent $2325O for wearing ap-
parel in 1924, while expenditures
amounted to $2S76O. The keeper of
the family exchequer, no matter
what his station in life may be, may
question these figures based Upon
personal experiences.
The Department of Labor and
Chamber of Commerce of the U. S.
and other organizations studying
family budgets say that rent is the
only item that has increased since
1918 which has not come down with
in the last six years. 1t is estimated
that in 1924, the family budget set
aside 1879 per cent of the income, of |
$299.12 for the landlord. The Bureau
of Labor Statistics in study of the
price changes in the cost of living
showed that the 1924 rents were
6S per cent higher than in
1913. 1t must be understood that
these are arbitrary averages.

$14,OOO,OOO,OOO IN TAX-EXEMPT
BONDS

The amount of taX-eXempt securi-
ties now in the hands of the public
is approximately $14,OOO,O00,0O0, ac-
c0rding to the National Industrial
Conference Board, which estimates
the increase in tax-free holdings in
the last thirteen years at about 242
per cent. At the end of 1912, the
entire investment in tax-eXempt Sc
curities was $4,O86,00O,OOO. In the
last eighteen months American in
vestors bought nearly half as much
in tax-exempt securities as they
bought in the entire period up to
1913.
All state, municipal, Federal Land
Bank, Joint Stock Land Bank and
the 31A per cent Liberty Bonds come
within the classification of tax-eX-
empt securities. AS rule, the in
vestment rating of bonds in this
group is very high, and because of
their tax-exempt from surtaxes these
bonds make their greatest appeal to
individuals with large incomes. For
the investor of more modest means,
however, the exemption feature has
little importance. Often he will find
it more practical and profitable to
invest the greater portion of his
funds in taxable bonds.

A GREAT INDUSTRY

The American people spend an
nualIy $8,OOOO0O,0O0 for the pur-
chase and upkeep of automobiles of
which there are more than II 100000
in the United States. That's how
greatly the automobile business has
grown in a quarter of a century in
this country, which turns out more
cars in ten days than England turns
out in a whole year. If this busi-
ness were to suspend operations to-
day, millions of workers would be
thrown out of employment, the oil
industry would go to the pot, steel
companies would be seriously af-
fected, and the copper, rubber, lea
ther, lumber, glass and scores of
other businesses would be badly
crippled. Even many farms would
be demoralized.
The making and selling Of auto
mobiles has added billions of dol
lars to the wealth of this country.
On the surface it seems that this
business provides a very safe and
profitable working place for savings.
And so it does, if the right compan-
les are chosen; but it must be re-
membered that the automobile bus
mess is highly competitive. Often
the value of the automobile securi-
ties depends more on earning power
than on their equity in fixed prop
erty. Efficiency of management, eco
nomy in production costs, and sue
cessful selling are often factors of
more Importance to the investor in
this field than the amount Of prop
erty the company owns. If COM
pany cannot earn money, its plants
and machinery will usually lack a
great deal in reimbursing those who
have to put up the money for them.

CLIPPED COMMENT
WORTHY AND PRACTICAL
Editorial in Wilmington Every

| (Ed1COr1al IN wilmington Every
Evening"
The people of Milford are arrang-
ing for an Old Home Week, from
September 25 to October 8, inclusive,
and one of the chief features of the
program will be the dedication of
the fine and commodious Community
Building just completed there. And
in respect of all that this building
means, this feature of the exercises
will be of unusual interest and i'm
portance.
This improvement was projected
by the Carlisle Fire Company-so
named in honor of PARTS T. Car
Isle, a gallant soldier of Milford who
lost his life in the World War-but
as the movement progressed it as
sumed greater proportions and larg-
er purposes than those of a mere
home for the f1remen and their ap-
paratus. The plans were improved
until they included building which
not only met the needs Of the fire.
fighters, but provided for a COM
mendable and valuable meeting
place for the entire town. In fact, a
complete and well-appointed Com
munity Building.
This building, ornate and in a
good location, was erected at cost
of about $4,000, and will be one Of
the towns most useful and practi-
cal possessions. 1t has ample ac-
for the fire company,
Of course. Then, there is a commodi-
Ous assembly room, a gymnasium
with complete equipment, library,
4 reading room, room for pool and
billiards, a kitchen, and two shower
and locker rooms, one for men and
)ne for women.
1t may readily be conceived what a
great convenience this well-appoiht-
ID building will be to the people of
and what useful and prac-
ical purposes it will serve, in ad-
lition to being a fine recreation cen
re. 1t would be well for other towns
n the state, especially those having
n contemplation the erection of
lew fire engine houses, to profit by
lilford's fine precedent, and make
hem community buildings, as well.

A LESSON FOR DELAWARE
PEOPLE TO STUDY
&2ee

"In our mighty development we
have added to the perils of which
Washington warned. The danger
has not been in party association,
but in party appeal or surrender to

"Our growth, our diversification,
our nationwide communication, our

filled the land with organized fac
tions, not geographical as Washing
ton so much feared, but commercial,
industrial, agricultural and profess
sional, each seeking to promote the
interests of it's own, not without JUS

ace in exacting privilege and favor

threats. If popular government is
to survive it must grant equal JUS

in rural districts in the higher
grades. The Grammar and Primary
grades would then have to be housed
in modern school houses in the
towns and rural districts, and they
should pay all the cost of their main
tenance under State regulations as
to teaching and modern school meth
DDS. If Laurel, Dover and other
schools which have embarked upon
comprehensive building programs,
now find within so few years, that
they are over-crowded and provision
to teach the children has to be sup
plied to hold off conditions which
are growing worse with each year,
then it is indeed time that the elimi-
nation of so many small high
schools scattered over the State, be
started. The State could embark on
q building program for the high
schools without serious danger to
over-bonding; while the towns can
well afford to build such modern
school buildings, as will be ample
for the first eight grades and sup
port them without any serious bur-
den of taxation. It is true that all
the towns of Delaware can not af-
ford to build school buildings cost
ing from one to two hundred thous-
and dollars each. Such buildings
would not be needed, with a State
High School System such as briefly
outlined. Something must be done
between now and the meeting of the
next legislature in January of 1927.
If the problem has to be solved
and it must be solved-then let care

think out what will be the best sys-
TEN to adopt for the State Of Della

the most economical methods as to

MILFORD, FRIDAY, SEPT. rs, 1925

IN THE PAST few days notices
have been served upon those per-
sons in lower Delaware, who failed
to make any return for the years
1921, 1922, 1928 and 1924, with bill
for double the amount Of the tax or
filing fee. These notices come from
the State Income Tax Department
and are the result Of checking up
with the Federal Income Tax lists,
which were returned by the people
of Delaware. 1t is possible that the
idea was entertained by those who
are now facing the tax collector
with the penalties attached, that be-
cause they did not have sufficient in
come to bring them under that part
of the law for the United States
that they did not have to make a re-
turn to the State of Delaware; but,
that is absolutely wrong, and the
law specifically says, that the re-
turn must be made, regardless Of the
amount Of income the individual may
have from any investment or gain
full operation. In each and every
case, there is a fee of three dollars
to be paid to the State of Delaware;
regardless of any exemptions, which
fee shall be part of the schools funds
of Delaware. Those who have re-
ceived, or will receive these notices
later, will be wise to make prompt
settlement of the amounts due; for
the last legislature, composed Of a
Democratic Senate and Republican
House, appropriated money to en-
able the tax collector to go after
those who failed to make the return
and pay the fee for four years past.
It would have been more easy to pay
that fee, or tax, then than now; but
there were many political agitators
who encourage those now in hole
to not pay the tax in the years when
it was due. A few would be wise
lawyers at Georgetown and Dover
encouraged those who were ignorant |
of the law, to make trouble; but, as
usual, the poor dupe of the cheap |
skate politician class, has to pay the
bill in the end. Better pay up and
get even with the tax collectors-it
will save money for those who are
caught in the end.

EVEN THOUGH attempt has beer
made to meet future conditions OF
what appears to be liberal scale
the conditions which arose quickly
after better public schools were in
stituted in either rural or in the
towns, it clearly show that condi'
tions everywhere in Delaware, as tc
buildings, equipment and instruction
efficiency, was so far below what
should have been to educate chill
dren of today, that all attempts SO
far to relieve, and better the situa-
ton, have fallen short of accom-
plishing the aim; even though the
people have builded in manner what
they supposed would be ample for
the next thirty years. The report
comes from Laurel, Delaware, that
the modern and handsome new
school building which was erected
there very few years ago, is now
inadequate to accommodate the chill
dren who are desirous Of attending
that school, and that additional in
structors must be employed to serve
the pupils waiting at the doors. This
situation proves the claims of those
who did recognize the low standards
of Delaware schools as to buildings
and instructional service, just few
years ago, that the money then spent
for public school education under
the old school system, was wasteful
and cost far more than the benefits |
derived from their maintenance. The
children now want education and |
flock to the schools where it can be
obtained. The Laurel Superintendent |
has made a statement that the Laur-
el public schools must have addi-
.tional buildings and additional in
structors to accommodate those who
are enrolled and those who desire
to enroll. THIS experience Of one Of
the first puBlic schools to build a
modern building with ample grounds
should be carefully studied by all
other towns where modern schools
will be built in the next few years.
The Town of Milford should care
fully study this condition.
Yet another situation worthy Of
deep study from educational, as well
as from the point of the future of
high school training, enters into the
problem and how it will affect the
system Of the future
years. The State Of Delaware should
take over the High School question,
build the High Schools along the1
modern highways where needed; so

owns may be transported to and
