Some persons thought it profitable
! to criticize President Coolidge fol
showing favorable attitude toward
business development. Others saw
humor in commenting on his New
England thrift. The political wind
bag felt he was Strengthening his
own position by poking fun at the
Presidents retiring manner, laconiC
statements and disinclination to talk
except when required to do so.
But that is all passed. 1t is now
up to the critics and the admirers OF
President Coolidge, in both parties
to see if they can match his record
for sound administration of the
greatest corporation in the world
namely, the United States Govern
ment. The stockholders of this cor
poration, the citizens of the United
States, today know more about busi-
ness, more about investments and
more about conditions which are
necessary to assure steady employ
ment of labor than they ever did be-
fore. Most of the campaign thunder
and political hocus pocus which was
supposed to appeal to the voters in
the past, will no longer fill the bill.
The voters of this country are like
the baby that has grown out of the
celluloid rattle and rubber doll stage
they want more solid meat. Making
faces and acting the fool before them
on the theory that it will please and
amuse them as it sometimes does the
small infant, will no longer appeal.
The ten short words uttered by
President Coolidge give this nation
a year to realize and consider what
would happen as the result of any
radical break away from a construc-
tive, yet conservative national pol
icy. Banker, factory executive, labor
ing man, public utility president,
railroad manager, clerk and house
wife have an equal opportunity to
think over the situation and their
own positions in the picture.
Republican or Democratic leaders
face the responsibility of choosing a
qualified executive head for this ma
ton. If the public officials chosen by
either party are incompetent, the ma
ton will be the one to suffer.

INTHE SUMMER SOCIAL SWIM

Social activities in honor of our
summer visitors came to a definite
climax with lovely tea, the feature
social event of the week, given on
Saturday afternoon between heavy
showers of rain, by Misses Elizabeth
Carlisle and Rachel Frame, at the
home of the latter. The dining room
table in a color scheme of yellow,
with a beautiful centerpiece of yell
low nasturiums flanked by tall yell
low candles, was a bright spot, in a
room otherwise colorful with a pro-
fusion of dahlias, old fashioned tube
roses, asters and a number of other
flowers given by friends for the Oc-
casion. Mrs. Anna V. Carlisle assist
ed the hOstesses, pouring tea. The
remaining summer guests of honor
were: Mrs. Dudley Frazer of Detroit,
Mrs. Jesse Hamilton of Pittsburgh,
Mrs. David Wallace and Mrs. Austin
Pulsford, both of Rosemont, Pa.

Mrs. Jesse Hamilton, who has been

MILFORD, FRIDAY, SEPT. 16, 1927

BOXING contests in Delaware are
progressing right pleasantly in all
parts of the State, without any OBJ
lection on the part of those who OBJ
iected to the legislature enactlng
laws that would regulate and con-
troll the sport, and at the same time
afford substantial revenue for the
State Treasury. We supported the
.proposition to make boxing legal
snort in Delaware, when the bill was
before the legislature, and hoped
that the bill would become law
through legislative enactment and
approval of the bill by the Governor.
The bill to create this law failed,
but the sport popular with thousands
of people is presented to public aud
fences. without restraint or regula-
ton on the part of the government.
1t is not only proper to teach boys
and girls how to defend themselves
from physical violence from another
person, in either a fair or foul fight,
but it is a duty the grownup people
owe to future men and women, to in
struct them for self-defense should
occasion arise. Boys or girls in the
best regulated families have differ
ent ideas and different opinions as to
what is right and proper. They may
or may not resort to healthy pun
ches with their fists to settle the
points, and little bit Of blood may
be spilled to mark the vigor of their
attack or defense. Yet in a few
short hours both are friends and
comrades. It is nature for enforce
ment of either opinions or service by
the human race on another. For that
reason it is incumbent upon the
whole of the people to so even up
the situation that arguments can be
adjusted under proper and legal
contests. The boxing contests, under
regulation, are proper and should
be encouraged. No brutality can be
tolerated even in extraordinary con-
ditions.
Boys and girls must be taught to
be self reliant and capable of self
defense of their person and rights,
even by physical force. The boy
who has not tried out his strength
or skill with another, will become
timid and afraid to resent affronts.
When they find out that a blow from
a fist inficts no serious pain, their
courage will arise and at once be
capable Of inficting the same pun
ishment in return. Let's have gymna-
Sums and physical training, and leg
ally conducted boxing matches under
state regulation for the grown-up
folks, as a source of entertainment
for the young and the old. All the
people are not constituted alike in
their ideas of boxing, but surely
there can not be any argument with
such points that would justify turn
ing down boxing under legal re-
straint.

PROFITS GO TO MASSES

The real capitalists of this coun-
try-the people who supply the bulk
of the money needed for new indus
trial enterprises-are not the people
of immense wealth, but the great
middle class, those who work in Of
fees, stores and factories. A recent
investigation shows that more than
1,383,00O customers have invested in
securities of power and light COM
panies in the last u years.
Customer and employee ownership
of our public utility and industrial
corporations is bringing about true
public ownership in this country.
And it is public ownership by which
the profits accruing from public SER
vice and business go to the mass of
the people, and not to the politi-
clans.

TALK LEFT TO POLITICIANS

C. L. Seagrave, General Colonial
ton Agent of the Santa Fe Railroad,
delivers a blow to the continual talk
of agricultural depression. He states
that in reality purchasing power of
the farmer is climbing, pointing to
decisive increases in radio, tractor
and implement sales.
In spite of so-called "Farm-Im-
prOvement" bills and rhetorical spec
ches of vote-seeking politicians, the
American farmer today is in a bet
ter position than ever before. His
comforts have increased MANIFOLD.
Agriculture is becoming stabilized,
like all other forms of industry,
mainly through introduction of labor
saving machinery and "sure-1re," !"
not "hit-and-miss," methods. The
value of the tractor alone is inesti-
mable; it has practically revolution
lied farming.
1t is not the farmer, excepting
few howlers such as are found in
any class, that is behind the con-
stant cry of Help the farmer by
legislation" The modern farmer is
applying Nbusiness efficiency, intent
on bettering himself by increased
production and newer methods. He
has his work to do, and he doesn't
want aimless talk, and has no time
for it. That is left to the politicians.

rolling pin, decorated with blue rib
bon, displayed at the front door.

"Why the decoration, dearie?" he
asked.
"Just a reminder, darling" she
replied, "that until the sidewalks
become dry you are to remove

up in the front hall as an accumu-

Curious Old Custom
of Literary Giants

Lipogrammatic works, the prod
uct of the early Greek authors, are
books in which one letter Of the
alphabet is omitted throughout the
volume. Tryphiodorus, when writ
ing his Odyssey, had not an "a" In
his first book, nor SD" in his sec.
ond. In so doing he was but copy
ing the Lipogrammatic .Iliad OF
NeStor.
Athenaeus writes of an ode by
Pindar in which the latter pur-
posely omitted the letter "s," there
by leading us to surmise that this
little hoax was one of the literary
fashions of the day. A Persian
poet once read to the celebrated
Jami one of his own compositions
with the letter Alif consistently
omitted throughout. Jami, who
did not care for the sonnet, sar-
casticaIly made the following rec
ommendation: "You can do a bet
ter thing yet. take away all the let
ters from every word you have
written"
Although the Greeks originated
this ingenious literary device, it's
use was by no means exclusive
with them. Lope de Vega. the eel
ebrated Spanish dramatic poet OF
the Sixteenth century, Gregori0
Lett, and at much later day Lord
North Of the court of James ! all
employed this literary device and
produced Lipogrammatic books

Walls of Old Fort
Much Like Concrete

The remains of q blacksmith s
shop, beautifully ornamented brace
lets, objects like napkin rings, and
implements that might possibly
have been used for writing are
among remarkable discoveries made
in the vitrified Dunagoil fort in the
island of Butte, on the west coast
Of Scotland. The weapons and
utensils date back to from 200 B.
@. to 100 B. G.
Sacks filled with bones Of red deer,
the early Scottish OK, swine, and
other animals help to show what
food was eaten over 1000 years
ago.
The walls of the fort were II
feet thick, the interior being filled
with rubhle or land-gathered
stones. These were covered with
brushwood and the whole sealed
up with clay. The brushwOod was
then ignited.
The smothered combustion
stopped the stones from fracturing,
but allowed them to become viscous
and run together, thus forming a
kind Of concrete of immense
strength, to which the two dry
stone settings became fixed. This
was the forerunner of our modern
reinforced concrete and cement
structures.

Recreations of the Great

After protracted studies, Spinoza,
world famous philosopher, would
mix with the family where he
lodged and join in the most trivial
conversations, or unbend his mind
by provoking spiders to fight each
other. Socrates loved to play with
children. Balzac amused himself
with q collection of crayon por-
traits. DR.. Samuel Clarke used to
amuse himself jumping over tables
and chairs, while Doctor Swift eX-
ercised himself by running up and
down the steps Of the deanery

long this wheel has been answer
