from each court in the State. These
records will be carefully settled in
order to find out just where the
break is in the court system, whether
it be from too sympathetic juries,
sheriffs who do not perform their
duties, judges who suspend senten-
ces or give light fines.
She feels something of the sort is
responsible for this crime wave and
hopes, by studying these records
from the various states to determine
the cause. A club woman from each
district is wanted to be representa-
tive chairman of law enforcement,
and one or two women working IN
der her are needed to hunt up the
records.
Judge White also distributed lists
of questions on the prevention, de-
lection, investigation and prosecu-
ton of crime.
IF women are able to answer
these questions they will know much
more about the workings of the jul
dicial department of their huge law
machine and be better able to judge
whether the business is being carried
on correctly" she poinred out.
Governor Praises Women
women are probably better fitted
than men to take care of affairs of
state" Governor Robert p. Robinson
declared when he brought the States
greetings to the convention.
The governor continued by saying
men too frequently wait until day
or so before the election and then
say, wonder who I'd better vote
for?"
The governor said women look in
to the qualifications of the candi-
dates for Office much more deeply
than men and it is the womens 0uty
to impress the men with the impor-
tance of this proceeding.
women should and dc, consider
issues in relation to the good of the
state and country" he said, and urg-
ed Delaware women to do so even
more so in the future.
Mrs. Clarence Fraim won much
applause when, in introducing Gov
ernor Robinson, she said: '"The kind
of a governor the Federation ap-
proves Of"
Mrs. Fraim in her annual report
said:
Through our student loan fund
we put into practice one Of the kinds
of service we advocate, that of help
ing youth to acquire an education.
This year eight girls have been
helped to attend rhis college.
"Club institutes, also health insti-
tutes with State health agencies, CO.
operating, have been held in each
county.
Ask Home Survey
Delaware is the first and only
State to respond 100 per cent to the
great constructive home equipment
survey that gigantic task undertaken
by the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs. This I feel sure will be
the means of having the biggest and
most important business. Home
making included as an occupation in
the United States census law. Then
the United States Census Bureau
will make such a survey regularly
for the purpose of having labor say
ing devices in the home studied and
improved by experts, so that the
mothers of our nation may be able to
save more energy to devote to the
higher task of home-making.
"a moving picture machine was
presented to the Delaware Colony for
Feeble Minded at Stockley, believing
that pictures would be of great value
in the development Of sub-normals.
The machine was received in time to
have their first picture shown on
Christmas Day.
"More than one hundred trees be-
sides rambler roses and flowers have
been planted along our State Boule-
ward. Delaware cannot boast of great
natural scenery but we can boast of
the best highways Of any State in
the Union. We can make them the
most beautiful. We cannot do it in
one year nor in two, but if we con-
tinue to plant trees, flowers and
vines we will be rewarded. Delaware
is not big State but we can make
it a great little State since greatness
is not measured by size.
Delaware club women will be
hostesses at the Delaware Building
at the Sesqui-C Centennial celebration
now being held in Philadelphia.
Stand For Education
eve still stand solidly for greater
educational opportunities for every
child. Delaware is no impoverished
State. If she were is would pay econ
omically to borrow to educate her
youth. Certainly Delaware can better
afford to give a proper educational
change to all her children today than
to contribute annually later to their
support as adult dependents.
