MARRIED WOMEN WHO WORK

More than 100000 married wo-
men in this country are working
outside of their homes. Some of
them may take this course because
of their love for certain professions.
But in the great majority of cases it
is because they want more money
for their homes and themselves than
their husbands can earn.
Many of these women have been
led to take such work by the in
creased cost of living. Some COM
plain because such ones take jobs
away from unmarried women. But
their production adds to the buying
power of the nation, and makes tie
people able to spend more money,
and thus makes more work for the
people to do.

The voters here will support in its
entirety the ticket chosen at the
State Convention, regardless of what
those who have never been regulars
themselves may say to the contrary.
The Republicans Of New Castle
County are passing through a much
needed and too long deferred purg-
ing. It has during the last decade
become subservient to the 'beck and
call' of certain persons whose only
certificate to party regularity and
usefulness was their ability to fur
nish campaign Doodle and say VINO
shall and who shall not be a candi-
date for public Office. The autocratic
demand that the electorate shall
dance, maroinette like, to the beck
and knod" Of such persons has long
since become grievous to the intelli-
gent voter, and to such an extent
that he is ready to rebel.
The nomination of Al Smith and
the appointment of John Raskob,
has chased out the debating unde-
sirables. At the command of Ras-
kob, and the restraint that the Con-
stitution, of the United States, places
on their whiskey ambitions, they
have gone over cap, belt and boots,
to the Democratic party. It is won
derful to note the pleasure with
which the great mass of the Repub-
licans Of New Castle County, hail
this move. They express pleasure
at being relieved of those who will
not support the Constitution of the
United States and its supporting
laws, and are perfectly satisfied that
they have taken their departure into
the Democratic household, for it is
felt that that is where they belong.
By a touch of elbows, it is plainly
obvious that the Republicans in this
end of the State will support any
Republican that the voters of Sussex
County may name as their choice for
the Office of Governor, be that choice
I. D. Short, or who. Notwithstanding
statements that are said to have
been made at Rehoboth, that clear
ing house for political clatter, to the
contrary.
Some Of the Republican leaders
here are "tickled pink" over the
fact that they have eucherd Sussex

the United States Senate, and they
are now laying plans to do the same
thing as regards the candidate for
Governor. And they will do it to I'M
less Sussex takes a firm stand and
asserts its right of succession. J.

WELCOMING STRANGERS

Many visitors and strangers come
to Milford during the summer sea-
son. 1t is fine thing for our people
to take special pains to welcome
such visitors. One can get pleasure
from meeting these new faces, hear
ing how things are going in their
part of the country, and exchanging
points of view.
We thus show ourselves warm
hearted folks, and make the visitors
feel that they are welcome, and that
it is a pleasure to know them. If
thus welcomed, these strangers go
away impressed with the idea that
our community has a lot of agree
able and wide awake people, and
that it would be a pleasant one for
a home. That is part of the game of
town boosting.

THAT VACATION

Well, you are home again from
your vacation. Or, if you have had
no vacation, at least you have been
out in the open on numerous oc-
casions. How did the experience
strike you?
Did you find yourself in a class
with those people who never ask
the why of anything, but simply ac-
cept the marvels they see and give
them no second thought? There are
many like that. They have eyes to
see, but they see not; minds to rea-
son with, but they think not.
Or were you one with those who
see and hear and reason, but who
sum up the whole matter by saying
that this world, and all there is in
it, has come about by chance or ac-
cident? No design, no intelligent
purpose, but just happy coming
together of favorable circumstances,
and here we are!
Or were you among those whose
answer to the great riddle of the
universe is a Creator? In your
heart, then, is written the truth, old
1000 years ago yet ever new,-"The
sea is His and He made it, and His
hands prepared the dry land"
If you are in this latter class you
have made the most of that vacation.
That is the spirit in which one
should approach the wonder world
one lives in. That is the inevitable
conclusion one should reach after
coming back.
Maybe your vacation did not in
spire thoughts like these. But you
will admit, if you look back over it,
that the failure was not in the ex-
perience of that tour, OF that stay
by the sea or in the mountains, but
in yourself.

QUALIFICATIONS FOE VOTING

QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTING
Many politicians, in talking to
their audiences, will address them
as their intelligent hearers, and send
them away fattered and feeling that
they are competent for anything.
Yet we all know there are great
many people in this country who can
read an English newspaper only
with great difficulty. How far are
such people qualified to be voters?
The tests made at the time of the
World War showed a great number
Of people thus handicapped, far
more than had been generally sup
posed. There are many people who
would not be called illiterate by a
census taker, yet who read English
with such difficulty that they have
very hard time reading the news
papers.
Many states need to be more par
ticular about the tests they impose
for suffrage. People who can't read
do not look very desirable as voters,
useful as they often are as workers.
They would better learn English
before they ask to take part in our

81 do not understand what you
mean"
"WeIl, a few minutes ago when
you stopped the car and made David
get out and walk two miles back to
town, the punishment was deserved
but from the way you gave it he
will always think it was because he
hurt you, physically, when he so
rudely illustrated in detail what
Bill had done to him"
why, l made him get out not
only because his actions were crude
but because by grabbing me around
the neck so suddenly he might have
caused me to wreck the car"
"All true enough, dear, but you
were angry and he knew it and
thinks it was because he hurt you.
AS he trudges back he may even
find it in his heart to be glad he did
it because you hurt him"
well, what else could 1 have
done?
Controlled yourself absolutely,
first. Self-discipline must come first
if we would control others. The
great trouble with David is he has
never been punished except by an
angry parent. He draws this con-
clusion: When angry strike and
hurt some one. So he does it."
81 didn't have time to think when
he acted as he did while ago, but
1 might have been calmer in appear
ance."
ct will take more than appear
ance. 1t must be real, true calm
ness to be effective. Children see
through pretense at once. David's
Offenses are so outright, usually,
that you could soon show him that
he needs discipline for his own
sake, and that you are not giving
it just because you are angry"
With the assistance of this frank
friend of the family, David soon
became thoroughly manageable.
1t is surprising but entirely true
that very many so-called incOrrig-
ible children have been made so by
parents who use poor judgment in
controlling them.

THE ATTRACTIVE BUSINESS
CENTER

One Of the essential elements in
creating a town of successful BUSH
ness, is to have the retail store
buildings all look attractive and well
kept up. Many of us have seen towns
in which many of the stores were
housed in run down looking build
ings, which lacked paint or repairs.
It is hard proposition to boost
business in such a town. A single
building that lacks good care, makes
a blot on that town.
If there is one place in which 100
per cent maintenance pays, it is on
business buildings. A clean, well
kept up appearance draws trade.
Substantial and costly structures are
fine, but even an old building can be
made attractive by fresh paint.

WOMEN PAY
them.

Some cynic remarked that if two
man pays and pays" according to
the old saying, it is because she buys
on the installment plan.
But it is a sober fact that woman
is paying her way more and more
under modern conditions. She is get
ting further away from the status of
the child whose parents expect it to
be completely helpless and depend
ent.
Here is the Northwestern Univer-
sity going on a Dutch" basis-that
is, boys and girls paying each his or
her own part when going together to
dances, dinners and Whatnots. The
boys who are making their way
through by work suggested it, and
the girls accepted after a little pro-
test. Both sexes at school are on
the same footing-usually going on
allowances from home, so what is
unfair about the new arrangement?
A German chemist in this country,
Otto Ahrens, says that women in
Germany have to be Industrious,
serious and able housekeepers now
to get married. He explained that
economic reasons count. The men
are poor; a living is not easy to
make, so if young man marries it
can only be to girl who can pull
her own share of the load and make
every penny count. The butterflies.
the sporty fappers, are liked, but
they are not sought for wives.
The United States is the richest
country in the world, but the same
sort of thing is happening here. Lat
est reports on marriage statistics
show falling off in annual number
for the first time in 100 years. This
has been pronounced the writing on
the wall" Judge Lindsey is trying
to find a remedy in "companionate
marriage" a sort of marriage
young fellow can enter into without
waiting until he can support a wife.
The question is becoming more
serious, there is no doubt about it.
A Japanese artist engaged to an
American girl recently announced
that women will rule the world by
1947.
That may be true already for the
artist-prOphet, provided his wedding
day is not delayed. And it is becom-
ing truer for the rest of the world
just as fast as women become more
economically and
and more and more pay
their own way.-The Pathfinder.

THE OLD HOME Burg

Much can be told about peoples
character by the feelings they mani
fest when they return home to Mil
ford after they have had vacation.
Some come back with a feeling of
distaste. They have perhaps been
in much larger cities, and seen many
evidences of abundant wealth and
superb municipal developments. Or
they have been to very fine summer
resorts where they have observed a
great deal of fashion and luxury.
The old home burg may look rather
plain to such ones, after all the
style and magnificence they have
seen.
Some of them return to their
homes and daily work with distaste.
Their old job seems irksome after
roaming around indolently for some
days or weeks. Probably they have
never put heart enough into their
work, so that the opportunity to take
it up again looks like much de-
sired chance to accomplish new re-
suits, and carry out plans and eff
forts previously conceived.
But there is one thing that these
people find at home which they can
not find elsewhere, at least not for
many years, and that is the welcom-
ing smile of many friends. What
ever our community has or has not
done, it has a lot of friendly people
who wish all their townsfolks well,
who hate to see them go away, who
love to see them come back, and
who enjoy these personal associa-
tons.
A good home town like Milford
offers a great deal of friendly per-
sonal association that is extremely
helpful. This counts for more in
life than a great many costly adj
vantages. Nothing beats friendship.
All the luxury of the world counts
for little if that is lacking. But if
you have that, it does not make
much difference where you live or
what your pleasures are. You have
the essentials of content.

DAILY REPORTS of drownings
disclose the considerable hazards of
swimming time. To the toll of the
old swimmin' hole and the beach is
being added that of the bathing pool.
The weekend drowning list is as
inevitable as the weekend toll of
automobile fatalities.
Seemingly, it is impossible to
make swimming wholly safe. The
best of swimmers may be attacked
by cramps and sink as helplessly
as the worst of swimmers. And
yet most drownings could be pre-
vented with the exercise of a little
caution. Lovers of the water take
too many chances.
If no one went swimming in deep
water, that alone would greatly di-
minish swimming casualties. There
would be a further diminution if no
one went swimming alone. There
are few drownings in crowded
pools or on crowded beaches.
Carelessness in the water and
while boating is inexcusable. The
appalling number of fatalities should
be warning enough. Water sports
are among mans finest pleasures
and recreations, but they are, at the
same time, a constant menace to
human life. Danger turks where
least expected.
Because to be reckless is human,
life guards cannot be too watchful
and too many precautions against
drownings cannot be set up.

KEEPING shoes shined is expen-
sive, but at least you needn't check
them when you go in to lunch.

THOSE WHO LEAVE SCHOOL

THOSE WHO LEAVE SCHOOL
Millions of man and women in
this country left school without even
finishing the grammar school cour-
ses. The majority of them may be
good workers, but a very large part
of them quite school because they
could not keep up with their classes.
Boys and girls who can't keep up
with grammar school class may
have many good qualities, but I'M
less such ones make a special effort,
it does not look as if they would
make very intelligent voters when
they grow up.
Something needs to be done to
wake these people up, particularly if
they are going to vote. Evening
schools and classes where such ones
can make up the defects Of educa-
ton after their minds become more
mature, have been wonderful help
to many of them.
Many very fine people of course
live in rented homes. But if you
