ArHLETICS AND WEALTH.

The American people are con-
stantly told that they worship
wealth too much. They are re-
buked for money grabbing, and for
admiring people for their wealth
rather than for their character and
ideals.
Also there is complaint by many,
that athletics play too large part
in the life of our people. 1t is COM
planned that the boys give their
first thought to sports while in
school and college, often neglect
ing their studies, and that a great
many men and boys spend so much
time in the pursuit of such activi-
ties that it interferes with their
work or the development of intelli-
gence.
A great many useful purposes,
however, are performed by the Am
erican interest in athletic sports.
One of these results is to suggest
to the people that the possession
of money is not the thing in life
that is most to be admired. The
school or college boy who wins out
in athletics obtains a great deal
more admiration than the boy who
simply depends upon the possession
of money for his popularity.
A boy may come from the poorest
and humblest family. But if he
can make good in the sports of the
school, and help that institution win
a victory over it's rivals, he gets
the warmest tribute of admiration
that those boys will give to any
one. He has accomplished more of
the things that they want done than
a wealthy boy can ever do by his
money alone.
Now if those young people will
carry that point of view into after
life, it will help them form useful
opinions. It will suggest that the
person who accomplishes useful re-
suits for his community, who per-
forms difficult tasks for the bene-
fit of his home town, is worthy of
more admiration than one who
simply has money, but has perform
ed little or no public service.

SOUND ADVICE ON TARIFF

DVUNO ADF1CE UN IAnAEE
In a recent statement on the tar
iff, Representative Tilson of Con-
necticut said:
"a protective tariff has become
the accepted American policy. While
rates may well be changed as condi-
tons change, the policy itself should
not be altered or endangered.
"The tariff is in fact a business
matter and any revision Of it should
be made in as nearly a business
manner as possible. It should not
be undertaken except under favor
able circumstances, because even
when carried out under the most
favorable conditions there is apt to
result some business disturbance.
"Such revision should be removed
as far as possible from the influence
of politics and carried on as nearly
as possible on business principles"
Many Of our industries, our farm
ers and our laboring men would
not have a chance against cheap
labor foreign competitors if they
were not protected by a tariff to
equalize costs of production.

THE FOOL who has been parted
from his money always feels cheap.

NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE

One likes to see people who take
an honest pride in the neighborhood
where they live. 1t is not desirable
that they should look down con-
temptuously on the rest of their
town, but they do well to feel that
the street on which they live should
have certain standards Of neatness,
care and beauty.
If people maintain a disorderly
looking place, someone should gem
thy whisper in their ear that those
rough looking grounds do not con-
form to the neighborhood standard.
If they ignore such suggestion,
the same should be made more for
chilly. People do not deserve to
have their homes in a nice neigh
borhood, unless they are willing to
live up to the ideals of that group
of people.

CO.OPERATORS AND NON-CO-
OPERATORS

Two boys were seen few days
ago, who discovered a small bill
board advertising an entertainment
for some public cause, which had
fallen over on it's face. One of these
boys had helpful spirit, and he
picked up the board and put it in its
place.
Then his companion, filled with
the spirit of mischief and the desire
to do something funny, turned it
upside down. But his companion
called him down, and persisted in
Strengthening up the sign, and
would not leave it until he was
sure the mischief loving boy had not
overturned it.
Thus the two types of people ex-
listing in our communities were re-
vealed at an early age. Some are
always helping out the good causes
and finding pleasure in cooperation
and some are always looking for
chances to kick things over and
make fun of the efforts of those who
are trying to do useful things.

STOP THE FOOL IDEA OF
PAROLING CRIMINALS
(From Dover Index)

Is Delaware too liberal in grant
ing paroles to prisoners? Most
persons who have kept in touch with
paroles granted by the Parole Board
have some times thought so. When
we read of instances OF parole OF
persons convicted of serious ofen-
ces we wonder why. When a jury
has convicted and the court senten-
ced, paroles should be granted with
great caution. Thee are very few
instances where a request should
be granted. According to reports
one of the men, John H. Rudolph,
who was arrested in Philadelphia
/ for robbing the plant Of the Glover
Dairy Company in Wilmington, was
arrested in 1928 for breaking into
and robbing the store Of Morris
Meirovitz, was released on bail,
came down the State and was ar
rested at Dover charged with con-
spring to sell automobiles with
changed numbers, was convicted
and sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment. He was convicted of
the robbing charge in Wilmington
and sentenced to two years to be- |
gin at the expiration of the SEN
tence of the Kent county court. His |
term was to begin on the Whining |
ton conviction in 1926 and end in
1928. He was paroled in 1925, his |
parole expiring on the twenty
fourth of next month. Thus it ap-
pears that a man convicted of
breaking and robbing and conspir-
acy to sell stolen automobiles with
Identification marks removed was
paroled before he had served the
term of his first sentence. Why?
If the Parole Board thought it had
good reasons, it now appears that
it had not because this chronic
criminal has added to his record
another crime before his former
sentences would have expired and
even before his parole has expired.
1t seems to us that the next Legis-
lature should inquire into the oper-
alton of the parole law and either
amend it so as to prevent such in
stances as this or repeal it. There
is general complaint all over the
country about too great hberality
in granting paroles. There are
really but few instances where pa
roles are justified, but boards seem
to find many. 1t is difficult enough
to capture criminals and secure
their conviction. The courts are
far from severe in SEN
fences. If after a juy has convicted
and the court has sentenced, a Pa
role Board can be resorted to with
a good chance of securing a parole,
by appealing to its sympathies or
the real facts or
Criminals are encourage
ed, and hardened criminals like
this man Rudolph will take chances
which they would not take If they
knew that detection was likely and
punishment sure. We think it bet
er to abolish the Parole Board and II
rest the sole authority to grant
)aroles in the Judges who sentence
he prisoner. III
BEING GOOD because there is III
Iothing else to do doesn't count. IL

ORR DESIRABLE COUNTRY
TOWNS


During recent years people have
left the country towns and gone
into the cities. Many of us have
felt that lot of these people would
have been better off to stay where
they were.
AS one looks over the country
towns of Delaware the majority OF
them seem very desirable places to
live in, and great many of them
are ideal. Many of them which are
not wholly desirable, could be made
so by just a little more co-opera-
ton.
The communities of Kent and
Sussex counties seem particularly
desirable. People who have work
that seems likely to give them any
decent kind Of living in such towns,
should hesitate long and ponder
deeply, before they go elsewhere
for uncertain propositions.
In the real values of life, our
country towns offer great deal.
The life of the people is, or can
easily be, made wholesome and
healthful. There is plenty Of
chance for those outdoor pursuits
that give people good physical de-
velopment. Many people live to
great age in these communities.
Such towns provide very pleasant
personal relations. People are
neighborly and friendly, quick with
kind deeds when folks are in trou-
BILE, and people know their neigh
bors intimately and they make life
long friendships. The various or
CARNATIONS and activities provide
all the social life that people de-
sire or care for.
These towns have their needs of
course. They should have more or
ganized effort to promote business
development, to obtain industries
that will give people plenty of en-
and to make agricultural
more profitable. With
better organization these things can {
be done, and lower Delaware can
be made one of the best centers of
rural prosperity.

NOT MANY THINKERS

A leading figure in the automo-
bile world told an audience re-
Gently that only five per cent of the
people in this country really think,
while 10 per cent initiate these real
thinkers, and the rest of the people
believe the things they hear and
read.
The ability to think could be de-
fined as a capacity for carefully OBJ
serving facts, plus the ability to
draw conclusions based on those
facts, rather than on conclusions
that someone else has reached. The
people who make such original OBJ
servations, and then draw their own
conclusions, are the ones who lead
the country in business and poll
tics, and in their own social and
neighborhood circles.

All of us owe it to ourselves, our

for the clothing merchant, or any
other merchant; it is plea for bet
ter dress and for what it means.
Better dress does not mean that we

sing neatly and not fadishly, and we
can dress well without expensive
clothing. We can be neat in appear
ance without a new suit; we can be
clean-and not run down at the heel
and our hat can reflect good taste.
"The first thing I notice about a
woman is her hat and then look at
her shoes" is the observation of a
Milford man, who dresses well, but
not extensively, and whose wife
dresses well, but not extensively.
"a good front" gets one by; it car

through artificial lighting and has
proved quite conclusively that the
variation in the length Of the day
controls the migratory impulse. This
impulse may come from glands
which have been observed to enlarge
or shrink under some stimulus i'm
parted by the hours Of light.
Many laymen are not interested in
a scientific reason why birds go
south in winter and north in sum-
mer, but even they detect an inter-
esting connection between mankind
and the gland and light theory. That
the seasons affect mans feelings is
a commonplace with poets, if not
with scientists. Is it improbable
that some obscure stimulus of the
lengthening days of spring is behind
the wanderlust? Is there any con-
nection between modern illumina-
ton and the fact that many, who
formerly felt the lust for wandering
only in the spring, now must resist
it the whole year through if they
cannot afford to submit to it?
SeS
ENTHUSIASM WINS
Personality, good clothes, polished
shoes, good looks and the gift Of CAB
are undoubtedly aids in salesman
ship, but none of them holds a can
die to enthusiasm. He who lacks the
others may still sell goods but no
one ever made good as salesman
who lacked enthusiasm.
For enthusiasm is the sort of
thing that makes you believe the
costly cash register you sell is the
prime requisite Of business, that the
automobile for which you are the
agent is the best at any price, tnat
your store offers the best quality at
the lowest price and that the town
you are trying to sell to others is the
best in the world.
1t is the enthusiasm of the lawyer
that convinces him his client and his
cause are always right. 1t is the
enthusiasm of the doctor that makes
his diagnosis accurate and his treat
ment effective. It is the enthusiasm
of the insurance man that persuades
him he is doing a service to all ne
explains his policies to. And it is
the enthusiasm of the service club
member that convinces him he is in
business to serve humanity first and
himself afterWard.
Enthusiasm is the thing that lets
a man argue that white is black and
get away with it. The enthusiastic
make the best sales prospects as
well as the sales people. Those cas-
lily rendered enthusiastic have no
sales resistance because they in
stantly contract the contagious en-
thusiasm of the salesman.
Enthusiasm, like truth, admits Of
no compromise. It is conviction Of
rightness. It radiates confidence in
1ne's self and in ones business or
product. Today more than ever be-
'ore it is vital to success in any en-
erprise.

THE MIGRATORY INSTINCT

That ancient and worldwide sun
god, one Of whose names survives
for the comfort of makers of cross
word puzzles, has had another hon
or from modern science. The sun is
responsible, it appears, for that mys-
terry which has kept so many scien-
lists awake at nights, the mystery of
migrating birds. To follow the swal-
low is not difficult, but what does
the swallow follow:
What man calls weather is no key
to the secret, for the migrations pro-
coed relatively undisturbed in cold
winters as in warm. The true key
lies in the number of hours Of sun
light in the day, in the opinion Of at
least one naturalist.
The length Of the day is a constant
astronomical phenomenon quite I'M
related to weather variations or to
other accidental differences between
years. And for experimental pur-
poses man can lengthen or shorten
the day unseasonably within a lin
tied space. This has been done
