PARENTS AS
HYPOCRTTES
BY Carolyn Lisberge-
Lecturer and Writer on the
Bringing Up Of Children.

<<AYOW be sure not to tell
I'm the conductor how old
- you are" I heard a
woman tell her little girl while
they were waiting for a street
car. "I'd have to pay full fare
for you IL he knew you were
over six"
Thus to save cents the mother
permitted her child to see her
act an untruth and evade re-
sponsib'lity. What was the use
Of teaching her child not to tell
lies after that incident? Or what
good did 1t do to preach to the
little one she must play fair with
her playmates?
In the ordinary family circle
ideals Of speech, Of demeanor, Of
morals are absorbed by the child
just as, surely as dry sand sucks
in water. The child represents
in his future growth what his
initiative faculty has fed upon.
If he has lived where deceit il
practised. where courtesy is an
article Of luxury, where peopls go
about in their moral slippers
so to speak-wherc above all he
notices that one code Of conduct
il practised at home, while quite
another is publicly advocated,
what must happens The answer
is simple-he does not act IN
accord with high standards when
he mas grown up.

MEDITATIONS
MARRIED WOMAN
OF A
Helen Rowland
JUST WOMAN'S WAY.

A man who has just escaped
from a foolish filtration or dis.
entangled himself from a dan
gerous love affair has the same
dizzy feeling Of relief and thank
fulness as the man who has just
reached the sidewalk after being
grazed by taxicab.
No tire was ever punctured in
front of a garage-and no girl
ever happened by chance to run
into the lone man In the world"
at the psychological moment
when her nose was freshly pow
dered and she had on her most
becoming hat.
Every girl might WANT to
be the sweet, modest, high-mind
ed creature that men say they
admire, If she didn't suspect that
she would get fearfully tired Of
holding onto her halo with one
hand while she waited for some
man to come along and hold the
other hand.
Nowadays a girl can spend six
months In an intensive sentiment
al correspondence, and have only
a few kilograms and postcards to-
show for 1t to her grandchildren

ABANDON NEWARK ACADEMY
Anc; ;ent Structure Was on Land Grant
William Penn-AIany Educated There

Ancient Structure Was on Land Grant
Penn-Many Educated There
With the completion of the new
school building recently, Newark
Academy has been abandoned as a
school. The Town Library, however,
continues to occupy the room at the
west end Of the building. The struc-
ture for many years was used as
high school building and had been
used for more than $50 years as a
school of some kind. The land on
which the old structure stands was a
grant from the Penns. 1t was speci-
fled in the grant that the property
was to be used for educational pur-
poses only. In view of these facts
there is much speculation as to what
is to be done with the old building
and it has been suggested by Mayor
Frazer that with an expenditure of
probably $4,000 the interior could be
remodelled to be used as a community
centre and also for the use of tourists
passing through Newark. The trus-
tees of the academy only have the
proceeds from a small endowment

BETTER MARKET INFORMATION
News Will Be Extended for Farmers
and Growers to Take in Smaller Cities

and Growers to lake IN Smaller Cities |
Because the Market News Service
which the Bureau of Markets of the
State Board of Agriculture has been
giving the farmers of Delaware for
the past two years free of charge,
has been one of the greatest assets
and conveniences to the growers, w.
I. Derrickson, at the head of the bu-
reau is planning to wonderfully i'm
prove the service by adding to it
small local markets such as are found
in cities like Harrisburg, Lancaster,
Utica, etc. And he hopes to have the
information assembled so that it will
be ready for the grower and farmer
by $50 a. m. Even, however, with
the service given in the past year, the
information has made thousands of
dollars for the Delawarean engaged in
agriculture or fruit growing. In
speaking of the Market News Service,
Mr.. Derrickson said: "Our service has
doubled in the past year and we know
that it is thoroughly appreciated. 1t
is our aim to keep the growers and
producers as we'll posted regarding
market conditions as the brokers or
others who are interested in buying
agricultural products. This market
information, continued Mr.. Derrick
son, ''is received over the radio, tele-
graph and telephone and is distributed
each morning to the growers and pro-
ducers so as to enable them to select
the best market for their goods" Mr.
Derickson explained that if there was
a glut of a certain kind of fruit in
Philadelphia and New York was short
on it, the grower could avoid losing
money by having his fruit shipped to
New York or wherever the highest
prices were being paid In the old
days it was a case of guesswork.
"The first important crop marketed
from Delaware" said Mr. Derrick on,
els Strawberries and the market SER
vice beginning then is continued thru
out the season. The information is
distributed thru stores, POStofiiceS anc
cross road, general stores in the
smaller section and wherever there i.
a bank at that institution" There !.
a strict line drawn between giving out
this information and advising a grow
er what to do. Never is the latter at
tempted. The producer is told tha
in such and such towns the marke
price is so much, and that in such anC
such other cities the prices are $,
much, and the grower makes his Sc
lection. Last year Lancaster and Har
risburg were new and important sale
points for Strawberries and that i
one of the reasons why the Bureau 0
Markets hopes to give growers tn
latest reports from these cities.

Boom in Business

COrset-MUkine 2

While business generally rebounded
to prosperity in 1928 from the slump

tins of an almost corsetless age
had to content themselves with a
relatively meager gain during the two

from SIS. 800, 156 in 1921, to $7S,O47,-
959 in 1928, a 80 per cent advance
that was slight compared with the
average Industrial increases.
The output of industries engaged
in manufacturing electrical machinery

999 in 1928, an increase of 59.4 per
cent over 1921.
