Ruth is crying that now. Ruth

WANTS TO KNOW WHY

Mr.. Editor:-Please publish in your
next issue of the Newark Leader, the
following questions and oblige the
undersigned:
l notice in a weekly periodical pub
lished in Washington, D. c. called
Labor" that they didn't fail in their
issue of September a to herald as
news to the "public" the controversy
between John l.. Lewis, President of
the United Mine Workers and Frank
harrington, of the same organization,
That is now going on.
Why didn't that same paper want
to air the controversy between the
late Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the B. of L. E. and John l.. Lewis, of
the United Mine Workers to- the pub
lie?
That paper refused to publish in its
columns, that controversy.
What was the reason, can some one
tell the public why? If they can, let
them hear it.

Frank Imhoff, manager of the
Crystal Ice and Coal Co. is superin-
tending the building of the new coal
handling machines at the yards, cor
ner of First and Railroad streets,
which is progressing rapidly and will
be in operation in very short time
The storage capacity will be about
twenty cars.
The large concrete bins are being
built by the Neff & Fry company of
Camden, and the machinery will be
installed by the Godfrey Conveyor
company of Elkhart, Ind.
This type of equipment is known
as the Godfrey monorail system
which receives the coal from hopper
bottom cars. When filled, the bucket
is raised by electricity and carried
along the monorail directly over the
bin in which it is to be unloaded. In

market milk. The evaporated
milk, they say, is beneficial not
only because of its sterile proper
ties, which tend to reduce disease,
but it is twice as rich in butterfat
and minerals as ordinary milk.
Value of evaporated milk for
humans has long been accepted by
food experts, but it has never be-
fore been tried on any large scale
in connection with animals. Local
zoo authorities were especially in
terested in the case of ''Bon," an
"evaporated milk baby hippopota-
mus in the menagerie of the
Sells -Floto circus recently in Chi
cago. 1t had thrived amazingly
on its canned diet and consumed
as much evaporated milk at one
nursing as fifty babies of the hu-
man species.

Japan Changes
Former Policy
Of Emigration
Henceforth Will Send Excess
Population to Japanese
Possessions

New York-Has Japan aban-
doned her attempt to colonize
America and other English
speaking countries?
Toxic cables state that that govern
ment has reversed its emigration pol
icy, because of i'll feeling engendered,
and will henceforth send its excess
population to japanese posse ssions.
If the cables report correctly, it
marks the end of long struggle by
Japanese to secure a foothold in Pa
cific coast states. Several Of these
states have made it unlawful to sell
or lease land to anyone ineligible to
citizenship. A recent act by con-
gress, debarring entrance to this
country of any one ineligible to cit
izenship, aroused a storm Of protest
in Japan. This was encouraged by
business men who trade in The Far
East, and by sentimentalists who be-
lieve the Oriental and The Occidental
can dwell happily together without
lowering the higher living standard.
Japan and its American friends
have insisted that japanese be admit
ted under the quota system OF the i'm
migration law. This, it is claimed,
will sooth that country No mention
is made of admitting other Orientals,
who are also ineligible for citizenship
This favoritism is defended by the
claim that Japan's feelings are
hurt" The purpose, of course, is to
establish precedent which can be
enlarged in later years.
The Far East cable may be hint
to Japan's allies in the United States
to cease their agitation for a losing
cause.

Wrong Parking

Bandits! A hold-up! Policep he
shouted-but not single policeman
was in sight.
A pedestrian ran north to find a

A driver of a delivery truck sped
east to find policeman.
A woman in a Buick went west to
find a policeman.
A man in Ford muttered: Fools!

and he parked his car beside a hyd-
rant.

peared.

got away.

stead of dropping or throwing the
coal, the bucket is gently lowered un-
til it comes in contact with the pile
or floor of bin.
Trucks or wagons can then be load
ed from the gates on the sides of the
bins by simply pulling lever.
The Godfrey system eliminates
hand shoveling at the yard and the
coal is automatically screened as it
flows out of the bins. 1t insures
clean, dry fuel at all times, regard
less of weather conditions, and the
customer receives full value, where
as if he purchases wet coal, it nat
urally weighs and costs more. De-
liveries will also be improved, be-
cause with this plant, the company
will be able to render much better
service than under the old method Of
hand shoveling.

Delr1lar

Saturday, June 18th, the voters of
Delmar and the adjoining rural sec
tions, voted to bond the district for
$4,000 to build new school house
in this town, by vote of 322 to 81.
The new district is composed of Del
mar, Elliotts, Morris, Beach's and
Columbia, and the new building VIII
be located on the lot purchased sew
eral years ago, near the ball park.
Saturdays decision is a step in the
right direction and is in keeping
with the progressive spirit manifest
ed. A new Masonic Temple and an
up to date fire house were recently
dedicated and the installation of
sewerage and the building of at
least one new church, will confirm
the belief of many that the rising
wave of progress will carry to de-
feat any opposition to Delmar taking
her rightful position among the most
progressive towns of lower Della
ware.
