Chess Champions

TN spite Of its poverty the Russian government has
offered $4,000 to get the best chess players in the
world to Moscow. This move is reflection not of
communism but of Russanism
The Russian mind easily separates itself from the
accidents of life and from the physical environment
Chess suits it exactly.
The greatest chess player who ever lived was an
American with modified Irish name and preponder-
ance OF Spanish blood. But Paul Morphy even with
Pisbury coming later does not signify that Americans
in general play chess we'll Both Morphy and Pisbury
went crazy Their concentration was too absolute.
Among experts the abest player of the day is sup
posed to be the German Jew, Lasker Next to him come
the Russian Aiekhin and the present champion, the
Cuban, Capablanca. The Jews, like the Russians
semorienal in their makeup and therefore more likely
to have the abnormal mental concentration needed to
reach the top in the most highly intellectual of all
games.

The Red Caps" as the colored
porters at the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Station in New York are
called, have endowed a college schol-
arship TO be awarded each year to
the son Of a station porter who has
achieved the highest school record in
English, mathematics, history and
chemistry. Each porter has pledged
himself to contribute a dollar a year
to this fund.
This is really a wonderful thing
an almost unbelievable thing.
That the idea Of a college education
for young boys should appeal to a
group Of colored porters, when you
behold so many people who are con-
sidered more intelligent, frittering
away their time and money and en-
ergy on the various jazz tendencies
Of this age, is apt to stagger you.

1t is a splendid idea and worthy

serious viewpoint which, strange as
it may seem, is rather scarce these
days. II will be interesting for the
future generation to watch the out

1t is to be hoped. however, that
the "Red Caps" will not be disap-
pointed in the result Of this ex-
pertinent. "Going through college"
is not always the equivalent Of sac
quiring an education" Many q
"dumb-bcll' goes through college and
comes out pretty much as he was
when he went in.
You can spend a century in pol
ishing a cobble-stone but it will not
shine like a diamond.
A college career is really nothing
more or less thai an opportunity.
4 boy who is inclined to study and
eager TO learn will profit much by
such a career. A boy whose chief
interest lies in sports or fraternitics
or the fun Of college life usually
wastes four years Of his life. He
would progress further If he spent
those four years in a factory or an
office, where some one took the trou-
bic to keep his nose to the grind
stone.
To learn in college is just about
as hard as TO Learn in a hall bed
room. The student has to do his
own work. Professors and tutors
and libraries and museums cannot
do the work for him.

CAN A SALARY MAKE A MAN
RICH?

Contrary to popular opinion, more
real money is made in investments
by men and women who save pa
tiently and select securities Of es-
tablished merit after careful inves-
tigation than by those individuals
who trust their savings to hectic
speculation or to strangers in the
hope of sudden wealth. This truth
was given example the other day
by the death of an old employee of
a nationally known manufacturing
company, who passed away at the
age of 80 years, leaving all estate
valued at nearly $3,OOO,OOO.
A salaried man all his life, he had
saved consistently and had put his
savings into the securities of the
company for which he worked, every
year buying a little more. He knew
something about this business in
which he was investing his money,
the policies and ability OF its man
agement, its earning power and the
market for it's product. What he
could not learn from his own obser-

MEMORIAL DAY

The season of Memorial Day is
again at hand. The patriotic men
and women of the states which fur
nished the great army of blue from
1861 to 1865, will again bow their
heads in homage to the heroes of a
rapidly vanishing generation and in
acknowledgement Of the tremendous
sacrifices made that the republic
might live.
Each year there are fewer of the
grizZled veterans in the line of
march but the spirit is as strong as
ever, and Memorial Day will be OBJ
served so long as there are patriot
ic hearts in America. The younger
veterans are beginning to step into
the ranks to bolster up the waVer-
ing line of blue. The soldiers of
the War with Spain and the boys
of the great World struggle are
coming forward to see that Memorial
Day shall continue to be a holiday
of American patriotism.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has rendered a priceless service to
the nation; first, in saving the ma
ton and then by it's example in
into the hearts of the young
er generation an abiding love in the
country and a faith in its institu-
tions and it's ideals. 1t is not only
proper but essential that the work
be continued.

OF STATES HERO DEAD

commended the people of Delaware
for their action in erecting such a
building to the memory of the men
and women of the State who have
passed out of life after serving their
country in the World War.
Il believe when the history of the
World War is adequately written, ,"
said Commander Drain, "the part
played in it by the United States
will be recognized as one Of the Won
ders of the world, think no people
ever did so much or did it so well
in so short a time"
Commander Drain reviewed the
work of the American Legion and
what it hopes to do for the disabled
service men and orphans of service
men.
AS a preliminary to the dedica-
tory exercises the academic and
military parade was formed on Fra
zer Field, and marched to the Mem
Orlal Library, across Main street
and down the new campus walk. DR..
f. M. K. Foster was grand marshall
and his aides were DR.. e. B. Crooks,
DR.. A. S. Eastman and DR.. George
H. Ryden. Thousands of visitors
along Main street and on the cam
pus watched the procession and fol-
lowed it to the library.
Major Arthur Underwood, COM
mandant of the University R. o. 7.
c., formed the parade on Frazer
Field, assisted by Captains Sparks
and Morse. These three United
States Army officers headed the pa
rade, followed by the band from
Fort DUPONT, contingent from the
National Guard of Delaware and the
r. o. T. C. battalion.
Following this military section
came the trustees of the University
of Delaware; representative from
other colleges and universities:
members of the University of Della
ware faculty; the rehabilitation
group and members of the American
Legion.
Arriving at the library the eXer- .
cises were started. Rt. Rev. Philip
Cook, bishop of the Protestant Ipis-
copal Diocese of Delaware, gave the
after which President .
Hullihen made the Introductory ad-
dress. One of the features Of the pro-
gram was the singing by the Will
mington Rotary Club male chorus OF /
more than one hundred voices led
by William P. White.
President Hullihen's Tribute
President Hullihen, himself a
World War veteran, in his intro
1uctory remarks extended cordial
welcome to all visitors and told
of the difficulties that
lad been overcome by the trustees
n working out the plans and carry
ng through the project of raising
he money for the library by popu-
ar subscriptions. He commended
he generosity of the thousands of
who contributed to the
library fund.
"This library is built" he said,
by the people of this state as a
memorial to those of their sons and
who had given their lives
n the service of the country.
"The dedication of a library that

ar down into the future as the
can project itself, is. in
self, a stirring occasion to all who B
ave an interest in the presentation
f the best and finest things of hui

which we are gathered
ere today to dedicate denotes even

EACH DAY caravans of trucks
loaded with strawberries pass north
from the berry fields of lower Della
ware, over the du POnt Boulevard
to Wilmington and Philadelphia.
From the middle of each afternoon
to late at night, traffic is largely
made up of auto trucks loaded with
scores of crates filled with berries,
which are largely bargained for by
city buyers before starting on their
way. Here is one direct money bene-
fit that every strawberry grower, or
owner of land from which straw
berries are sold, gains a consider
able sum of money, over and above
what would be gained, if the berries
had to be shipped by way of trains,
either as freight or express. These
truck drivers have employment at
better wages than they would be
able to earn in other work, while the
fruit reaches the consumer in bet
ter condition. The grower is able to
have the berries picked as they rip
en- and attain full size, which makes
a larger yield per acre. There is
every advantage in favor of deliv-
cry by truck for the retailers in the
city markets, which is also a direct
benefit to the farmer, and comes to
him only by reason of the concrete
highways. The fine roads of Della
ware do pay direct money to the land
owners; and, the laboring people as
well, by reason of their use for
quick and safe delivery of fruits
and vegetables. The business is yet
only in its infancy. 1t will be de-
veloped in the next ten years to an
extent that we of today do not
dream.

THE STATE HIGHWAY POLICE
did a good piece of work last week
and again on Wednesday of this
week by arresting the drivers ol
"Hogan's Express" trucks when they
found them overloaded. The fragrant
violation of the state laws govern
ing the loads of trucks and open
contempt for the Delaware statutes
, in each case, were such that a severe
penalty was called for; and it was
promptly imposed by Magistrate
Wilson at Georgetown, who fined the
+ driver $4,000 and costs on the first
charge. Magistrate Truitt of Milford
fined the owner $4,000 and costs on
the second charge. When the
owner of a truck which is allowed a
load of $4,000 pounds, cause or per-
NIT drivers to load to the extent Of
96,150 pounds, such as was the truck
apprehended last week, there is no
excuse or reason for showing leni-
ency. Wednesdays violation showed
even more contempt for Delaware
laws. 1t matters not to the citizens
and taxpayers of the State Of Della
ware, whether the owner of the
truck made an unwise contract to
deliver merchandise and thereby
doubled up his load; or, whether he
purposely was ignoring the laws of
the state regulating the weight of
motor vehicles. 1t is a very vital
thing to the Delaware citizenship, |
that our wonderful system of high
ways shall be properly protected |
from just such weight hogs" there
by giving them the maximum amount
of highway service for the minimum
of upkeep. A few arrests
followed by substantial fines such as
Wilson and Magistrate
Truitt imposed, will go far toward
breaking up those few truck owners
who care little for the protection
Of the highways, and overload their
trucks. Arrest them, fine them, and
if necessary Jail them, to make
hem load within the limits prescrib-
ed by law. The State Highway
Police are doing their part, and
he magistrates should go the limit
when these offenders are brought be-
ore them.

IT is RIGHT to enjoy the cele-
bration of the Fourth-of-July, and
instill patriotic respect for and
love of our country, in the minds of
all the youth of the United States of
America; but, let us discourage the
dangerous and promiscuous use Of
the modern form of fireworks, which
have caused so many deaths in the
+ hands of the thoughtless and MANNED
thousands of the bright boys and
girls of our country. There can not
be any great pleasure in hideous
noises, or accidental infiction of
burns from poisonous gasses result
ing from the explosion of tOrpedOes,
fire crackers, pin wheels, or other
form of fireworks which endanger
children. Organized displays of fire.
works in safe places where fire can
not result to property from the bur-
ming parts of the fire crackers, or
other materials, is all right when
under the direction of proper per-
sons; but never permit small chill
dren to use them when alone. Pro-

THE STATE SENTINEL for fifty
three years has been printed at Do
yer, Delaware, and in all that period
of time it has been accredited as a
Republican newspaper; in fact, as
the official mouth-piece of that party |
for most of the long period. Under !
Henry Cannon, its progenitor, it was
stalwart and strong; always firm in
it's support of Republican Party prin-
ciples and struck strenuOusly
against the iron rule of the partisan
control of Delaware, by the Demo-
cratic politicians. Later it came un-
der influences which finally brought
about the overthrow of the old fac
tional government, which had been
Delaware's misfortune for thirty
years. Under the control and direc-
ton of what was known as the I'm
ion Republican Party, the Sentinel
stood for fighting the enemy with
the sametools which they had used
to hold the state government for
more than a decade. OF recent years
the Sentinel has been dominated and
published by James f. Alice, Jr., a
young man Virile and vitriolic as
1 fighter, within or without the Re-
publican Party. The policies follow
I'd during the recent years Of its ]
ife, have left an impress upon the
minds of it's readers, which has help {
ID to keep open the bitter animosi-
les between the factions in Kent {
Jounty Republicans. The history of t
he Sentinel is not very much diff l
erent than that Of other weekly S
ewspapers in political matters; '
ut, it has never failed to take a
rm, if not radical stand, on all pol p
.ical questions that affect Della b
,are; even though it was within the C
Party and its control. A

WE APPROVE of the plan adopted
/ by the Boston University which pro-
! vides for a series of lectures; in
fact a course of study and thought
on the subject Of matrimOny. 1t is
stated that forty young women are
taking the course and it would be
well for the University of Delaware
to provide opportunity for the young
women Of this state, to get an early
interest and understanding, Of the
greatest and most important part of
a womans life. The lectures are
given by Mrs. Elizabeth Macdonald,
college graduate, housewife and mo-
ther of three children. Her views
are modern and full Of common
sense.
The students are taught that mar
riage develops many problems, most
Of which can be analyzed and solv-
ed beforehand. They are taught that
marriage involves other things than
romance and roses.
In the words Of the instructor,
marriage should be put on a more
commonsense basis; matrimony is a
study that has not kept pace with
other problems"
Practically every girl, in college !
or out" she said, "hopes to marry
some time. She may be preparing
for a career. She may want to eX-
press herself in some pursuit, but
she wants a husband, too.
1--WE lecture on the snags that
come up in married life. One of
them is the wife who helps to earn
There is no reason why a girl earn
ing a good salary cannot be happy
with her husband. Yet it is the rock
of disaster for many otherwise hap
py couples.
"The question Of economics is vi
tai. Budgets are an absolute neces-
sity, since the household expenses
prove the waterloo of many, in most
cases needlessly."
The course is extremely popular
and is increasing daily.
