Much to every ones regret, we
understand there will be a general
moving from the shore this week, on
the report that the road work will
start after Labor Day, and that the
bridge over the canal will be re-
moved. Much as we need the road,
it is deplorable to have to leave the
beach during the usual delightful
weather of September and October.
But we suppose the work must start
before bad weather sets in on the
concrete.

USING OUR TOOLS

It is often remarked that recent
years have given the world a vast
equipment of new tools, which we
have not thoroughly learned how to
use, and consequently we get into
very serious troubles.
Take the case of automobiles.
Here we have a wonderful new tool
of civilization. It's accomplishments
and possibilities are marvellous. 1t
abolishes distance and facilitates
business. And yet as a result of
this tool, many are fatally injured,
a vast multitude of people suffer
more or less serious accidents. We
have this tool, but do not know how
to use it yet.
Take modern explosives and chem
icals. The dynamite clears the
farmers fields, the chemicals revo-
lutionize production. And yet these
explosives and chemicals became
the tools with which men recently
waged perfectly fendish war. We
have the tools, but do not know how
to use them.
Take airplanes. Their practical
use is very obvious. But in time,
these marvels of civilization may be
used to bomb cities, and extermi-
nate great populations. We have
this tool, but it is not sure we know
how to use it.
People need something beside
scientific achievement to reach
happiness. If they simply have the
technical achievement, but no moral
sense, no feeling of duty or obliga-
tion, no sentiment of fraternity and
of mutual adjustment, civilization
with all it's technical marvels will
not do them much good.
Instructing people in the ideals
and standards and obligations of
life is quite as necessary as teaching
science. Let us hope that the
schools of Delaware will give more
and more attention to this side Of
life, and teach our young people
not merely the tools of science, but
how to use them.

LABOR DAY

Like all our holidays, Labor Day
September 3rd, is a many-sided kind
of affair, which should be used to
stimulate thought along many lines
The most inspiring thought for the
occasion, is that it does honor to the
ideals of honest effort.
American society was built on the
idea of earnest labor. We give
honor to everyone who works at an
essential occupation, and we feel
that idlers should find something to
do that will be useful.
The so-called white collar work
ers may feel that their occupation
brings more social prestige. Per-
haps it did in the past, but nova
days people ask principally whether
the work done is something that the
community really needs.
Today people admire the young
man who takes off his coat and goes
at it with his hands in some rough
kind of work. They may feel that if
he works with his brains as well as
his hands, he will eventually reach
a position where he can be more
useful at something else than man
ual toll. But even if he keeps work
ing with his hands all his life, if he
does his work skillfully and well, he
serves so great a need and adds so
much to comfort and happiness,
that he is always regarded as
worthy.
The people admire the young wo-
men who study housework, and fit
themselves to maintain efficient and
happy homes. There is such a rush
of people crowding into schools and
colleges to get theoretical know
ledge that they do not know how to
apply, that a pleasing contrast is af-
forded by those who try to obtain a
thorough knowledge of the practical
tasks on which human comfG 1T and
welfare are fundamentally based.
Let us here in Delaware encourage
every honest form Of labor, and give
particular credit to those who work
with their hands and do that work |
and thoroughly.

THE POLITICAL PARADE
Rv Harry r. Rlackmon.

/
Washington, D. c., August 30
Advices from every section of the
country indicate that Hoover and
Curtis. have gotten the jump on
their rivals in organizing women
voters. Credible predictions sup
ported by straw polls promise the
Republican candidates a substantial
majority of the woman vote in some
normally Democratic and all nor
mally Republican states. Apprecia-
ton among women of Hoover's war
time efforts as food administrator
gives him big advantage to start
with over his opponent, which is
being heightened by the stress
placed upon his humanitarian rec
ord.
Political leaders of twenty years
ago would have been speechless at
the thought of a large share of
presidential campaign activities in
charge of women, but Lindberghs
fight to Paris would have affected
them the same way. Less than two
out of five voters in 1924 were wo-
men, but this year the women's
vote may run up to As per cent of
the total, according to many ad-
vance indications. Hoover's demon
strated popularity with the women
voter should be an important factor
in getting that large a percentage
of women to the polls.
The men in charge of party af-
fairs today find that their women
co-workers have a positive flair for
national politics. A well-organized
women's division at Republican ma
tional headquarters is working so
aggressively for Hoover and Curtis
that veteran politicians find the pace
of their feminine contemporaries
hard to keep up with at times. The
day when women in politics had to
be coached at every turn is only a
memory. Even the old-time polite
ians scarcely bat an eye when two
women temporarily assume the
chairmanships of their respective
parties in New York state.
Several years ago one OF Senator
Curtis friends asked him what his
faVortte recreation was. The Kan
sas veteran pondered a moment,
and replied, Il believe that I'd just
as soon attend good state fair as

THOUSANDS of applications are

formation as to how these appli-
cants can become aviators. Avia.
ton has a wonderful appeal to the
boy mind. They see its fascina-
tions, and consider its perils very
lightly. In many cases the parents
of these boys would prefer to see
them keep their feet on the ground
Aviation is going to make wonder
full progress, and will offer fine
career to many young men. But it
seems to call for certain qualities
which the majority of boys prob
ably do not possess. They would
better take good advice, before set
ting their hearts on this training, as
to whether they possess these quail
tiles.
IF YOU COULD take two towns
of about the same size and wealth,
in one of which the newspapers
carry a lot of advertising of their
home stores, and in the second of
which but little such advertising
was printed, there could be no
doubt as to the relative future of
those towns in coming years.
The town that uses advertising
would attract attention to its retail
business through the outlying coun-
try. You would see the automobiles
parked all along the streets. Every
issue of it's newspapers would carry
the message that that town was a
live business place, and such fac
tors would make that town grow.
TO MAKE Milford or any other
town the best town ever, everyone
needs to spend a little less time in
criticizing the things his public Of
lcials and his neighbors do or don't
do, and little more in making his
own place and his own job perfect

Der II with the loss of more than 100
lives. The inquiry conducted by Charles
H. Tuttle, United States attorney, was
concluded yesterday.
Report Ready in 10 Days.
Mr.. Hoover said that his report,
which he estimated would be completed
in 10 days, would include resume of
the testimony taken in the Federal at
torneyS hearing and would point out
the lessons learned from the loss of the
VeStriS. He did not intimate what
changes he would recommend regarding
steamboat inspection regulations.
Leslie Watson, second officer of the
VestriS, the first witness today, said
women and children were placed in the
portSide lifeboats because the boats on
the Starboard side we're swung too far
outboard by the list of the ship to
make loading safe. He described the
crew as efficient.
Inspected Hull Plates.
He then told of repairs made to the
ship when she was in dry dock shortly
before her fatal last voyage. He said
he had inspected her hull plates and
found them in good condition.
Capt. j. L. Crone, supervising inSpec-
tor of the second district, described the
procedure of issuing a certificate to
vessel by the Steamboat Inspection
Service.
Harry Wheeler, marine Superintend-
en- Of the Lamport g. Holt Line, said
he believed damage TO two Scupper
pipes running through the coal bunk
ers was responsible for the sinking of
the ship. He said the injury might
have been caused by the heavy buf-
feting of the seas.

nounced today. Women share equal op-

says.
Less equality was found to exist, how
ever, in the matter Of wage earnings.
Women'S hourly earnings were found
to average about 35 per cent lower than
those Of men, due, it is explained, to
the generally smaller output of women
