Home Education
THE MEEK-AS-MOSES CHILD
Florence Shelby

My dear Helen:
1 am so glad you wrote me about
little George. Yes, indeed, a child
may be ''too good" as you say. II
is of course not exactly goodness,
this giving up to others so easily.
Like many virtues, meekness carried
to an extreme becomes a failing-an
imperfection of character.
! Nor can you begin too early to
educate your boy in this regard. II
should be before he ever becomes
conscious of his weakness. 1t is so
very much harder to overcome a
failing, you know, if you once get
the notion that you were "just natur-
ally born that way"-and can't help
it.
I remember once going to the Post
Office with one of my own little
daughters. She thought it a great ad-
venture to buy me dimes worth of
stamps at the window while 1 was
busy with other mail. 1t happened
that l finished before the long cline"
in which she waited her turn
brought her next at the window.
Just behind her came a tall, ex-
ceedingly self-important man and in
stead of waiting for the child to
make her purchase first, as was her
right b yall odds, he started to state
his order over her head. Neither of
them knew that 1 was looking on.
The child was stepping meekly
aside when 1 interfered. Martha,
you are next" 1 said gently but
clearly and with assurance, my eye
on the pompous usurper. And he
waited his turn.
The point, of course, is not that 1
won out, but that it gave me a
chance to teach my little daughter to
hold her own. Hours of "talk" would
not have opened the eyes of her un-
derstanding as did that little expert
ence.
Very carefully, tried TO show her
afterwards that if the man had been
old or sick, it would have been love-
ly for her to say, won't you go
first, Sir?," but that that next turn"
was hers to give, not his to snatch.
Again, Martha always had a way
of waiting on all the children with
whom she played-exactly as little
George does. Who wouldn't impose
upon such good nature? And it is
really problem to teach children of
that type to hold their own, for one
would not wish to quench entirely
the beautiful kindliness of spirit
which animates them.
1t is something you cannot teach
George in a minute, Helen. Some
thing, in fact, that he very likely will
be years mastering. 1t will be a real |
help if you make it clear to him that |
he cannot suffer injury without hav-
ng the wrong reflected upon those
nearest and dearest to him. If you
lust open his eyes to the sense of
Justice 1t requires to be fair to him
the same as he would
o some other boy-you have done
'our part. The individual must do
is own growing.
Write me again, dear, and don't
rowd your little man with too MANY
'recepts. Bless mis- wee, human
leart!
Sincerely yours,
AUNT MYRA

PRESENT SITUATION

Not many citizens are able to say
just why they support a particular
party. In the old days issues were
sharply defined and the voter had
no difficulty in aligning himself
with the party that echoed his con-
victions. Today party lines have
been disrupted by new problems
international, domestic and sec
tional. Former breaches are rap
idly being. eliminated-nay, in many
instances they are being healed.
For the sake of harmony the tend
ency of the parties is now to strad-
die current issues. In some cases
both parties are making the same
appeal, even though their language
may be different. This year, espec-
tally, the individual candidate and
his convictions seem to take pre-
cedence over the party and its poll
cies. Senator Borah, Gov. Ritchie
But, despite this confusion of ideas,
and others admit that "the tradi-
tiOnal issues are fast passing" The
things which today most stir the
political emotions are subjects
which party platforms adroitly
avoid. Poor patronage of the polls,
therefore, may be as much due to
the pusillanimity of the parties as
to Stacker" voters. A few earnest
minds vision the possibility of one
or the other of the two major par
ties dying for want of issues and
new party being born as a result.
the present campaign will undoubt-
edly also be fought out on tradition
al lines. The majority of voters
prefer to still judge the parties rath-
er on what they have stood for in
the past than on what they promise
for the future.-The Pathfinder.

STREET RAILWAYS PROGRESS

The street railways continue to
progress. Their present total mile
age in the United States is greater
than before the war. Talk about
their being at "the end of their
rope" is erroneous.
Including the mileage of bus lines
established by street railways they
are now operating about 10000 more
miles Of route than in 1920. Further,
more track was built during 1927
than in 1926. While the change in
trackage for the year shows net
loss Of about $50 miles, this is more
than Offset by bus lines that have re-
placed abandoned track.
There is no substitute for street
railway service. It is neither retro
crossing nor standing still, but going
continually forward.

with great interest. How the men,
bers waited with bated breath dur
ing the business hour for the prop

make his report of our recent ba-

was when it was found we had
gone over the top.
1t may be interesting to those who
were not able to attend our rag
servings during the summer, to know
that We made and sold about severn
ty rag rugs in addition to several
braided and crocheted rugs.
The lecturers hour was "a Trim

mer auto trips by our fortunate
members was given and it was in
teresting to note that only one par
ty mentioned any trouble and that
was the trip to Toronto by John
Rosa and his boy friends. Changing
tires was their middle name.

CHARLES WARREN
GETS LIFE SENTENCE
FOR KILLING A MAN
[Continued from frst ba0e1

the machine stopped and they asked
him if he was going down to the
beach. He told them he was and
they asked him to jump on the lun-
ming board, which he claimed he
did. Ryan, it is claimed, made a
remark to Sheppard that the young
man was the son of Frank D. War
rem with whom he had had an al
tercation at the beach on Monday
prior. Warren claimed that he told
| Sheppard that while he and his
father had some misunderstanding
there was no reason why they
should not be friends.
They continued to argue, he al
legged, until they reached the beach.
Warren went into his cabin to pre-
pare something to eat when he
claimed he heard Sheppard, who
was out in boat with Ryan, calling
him vile names and inviting him to
come out of the cabin. Sheppard is
alleged to have remarked, 81 am
from the South and would just as
leave kill you as anyone"
Warren said he was standing in
the doorway when the remarks were
made and that Sheppard placed his
right hand on his hip as if he was
going to pull out a pistol to shoot.
Warren said he was about 20 feet
away when he shot, the load enter
ing the right side of Sheppard. The
wounded man lived but a short time.
Warren claimed that he feared that
Sheppard was going to "get him"
and he thought that if he had him
covered first he would desist. War
rex. attempted to explain that he
was drinking and that he did not in
tend to pull the trigger of the shot
gun. The murdered man was in a
small boat at the time.
The father of Warren testified |
that he told the son not to shoot .
and pleaded with him, but he could
do nothing with him. He said he
turned his head when the shot was
about to be fired. The father claim
ed that he saw Sheppard put his
hand to his pocket as if pistol was
going to be drawn.

it is a terrible burden on my heart

the other car should of used caution
at blind crossing. My sympathy
goes to the wife and mother for the

WELL-BALANCED RATION
AIDS WINTER-LAYING HENS

A well-balanced, egg-laying ration,
according to Alfred R. Lee, poultry
specialist in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is a combi-
nation of feeds which furnish Just
the necessary amount of nutrients
and accessory factors to produce the
highest and most economical egg,
yields. This is what the poultryman
strives for. In determining the
make up of such a food, Mr.. Lee
says to remember the protein is the
most important and most expensive
part of the ration. Animal protein is
superior to vegetable protein in
poultry feeding, but vegetable pro-
tein may be used economically in
some sections where it is COMPARE
lively cheap, if it is supplemented
with additional minerals and a small
proportion of protein from animals.
Best results are obtained from mash
containing from Is to 20 per cent of
feeds high in animal protein.
For vitamin content of the ration
yellow corn, green feed, direct sum
light, and cOd-liver oil are especial
ly useful. Minerals may be supplied
by including limestone, oyster shell.
ground bone and iodized salt. From
70 per cent of bone meal and
per cent of salt should be included
N mashes.
1t is difficult to overemphasize the
1alue of milk in a poultry ration.
The best knowledge now available is
hat a well-balanced grain ration
nay be fed most effectively when
ground and mixed as a mash.

even better attendance is expected
next week. The prize at the Satur-
day night dance was won by Eddie
Alcott, of Rehoboth, which entitled
him to two dinners at Henlopen on
Sunday.
The date for the weekly Rehoboth
Kiwanis meetings at Hotel Henlopen
has been changed. Starting this
week, they will meet on Thursday
evenings instead of Friday evenings
as they have been doing all summer.
They have many of the clubs visit
them and many interesting pro-
grams are given to entertain them.
The past weekend could not have
been better, and it brought a num-
Der of people to Rehoboth and to
Hotel Henlopen. These people seem
to know that this autumn weather
would make anyone feel well, and
Hotel Henlopen is just the place to
satisfy the appetite one is sure to
get at RehobOth in autumn.
