may be just. God Save the State.
William G. Bryan, Sheriff, Sher-
ifs Office, Georgetown, Del, July 90,
1928"
No one seems to know exactly
when, how, why and where the GUS
tom started. 1t has always been the
general opinion, however, that it was
brought over from England at the
time Delaware was one of the Colo
MES.
Efforts for many years have been
made to find out something about
how it became necessary for the
sheriff to issue such a proclamation
in capital cases when it was not done
in cases for the Court of General
Sessions.
The sheriff is required to post his
proclamation throughout the coun-
ty, or at least he is following the
custom of the former sheriffs.
1t will require an act of the legis-
lature no doubt to do away with
form which has been in use so long
that it is like the unwritten law.
There may be something in the
statutes of the Colonies or the early
volumes of the law books when Del
aware became a sovereign state, but
no one can be found who is able to
throw any light on the subject.

AN IMPROVED POSTAL
REGULATION

The new postal rates law which
went into effect on July 1 contains
one clause which will have special
popularity and strong popular ap-
prOval. We refer to the case of those
persons who for any one of many
reasons may wish to send a newspa-
per to somebody in another COM
munity-not through subscription
through the Office of the paper, but
just a casual single issue. The rate
on second-class matter, newspaper,
etc., has been established at one cent
for each two ounces or fraction
thereof regardless of distance.
That is brief, fair, simple, directly
to the point and generally satisfac-
tory. In order to mail a single copy
Of the home paper, one needs only
to place it on the letter scales and
apply one cent in postage for each
two ounces. This will probably result
in considerable increase in the pri-
vate mailing Of newspapers, but Of
course the more thoroughly conven-
lent way is to subscribe for tine pa
per in order that your out-of-town
friends may receive a copy of each
issue, with all the mailing trouble
handled for you by the publishers.
In this age, wisechicken doesn't
cross the road.

HAD FINE MOTOR TRIP TO
PENNSYLVANIA MOUNTAINS

Mrs. George Cobaugh, of Glendale,
has returned from a motor trip to
Somerset county, Pennsylvania,
where she with her party, visited
friends for three weeks. Her son,
Harry, and Mrs. Katherine Miller of
Philadelphia, accompanied her. The
side trips included Johnstown, Ball-
ersville and the Farmers Picnic
Camp. The trip was made in the
Erskine club sedan, and they were
delighted with it's hill climbing abil-
ity; just as Earl Atkins stated it
would perform. In the 1900 miles
drive there was no trouble or delay
of any kind. On their return they
left her sisters home at five a. m,
and arrived home that evening at 8
O'Clock, after making stops in Phil
adelphia and at Farnhurst, for two
hours or more, coving $50 miles that
day. The return trip required 16
gallons of gas and one quart of Oil
In the 1900 miles of driving the total
cost of gas and oil was $1760. MIS-.
Cobaugh brought her niece home
with her for several weeks visit in
Delaware.

Home Education
OBSERVING YOUR CHILDREN

eve bought Jean a new coat yes
terday," said her mother. "At ev-
cry turn today I've found her
standing in front of me with that
coat on"
"Of course" said the neighbor,
"she wanted you to talk about the
coat-tell her how nice she looked
in it,"
ooh, 1 never thought of that, )"
her mother replied. 81 just kept
telling her to take it off and go
away and play. That was too bad.
remember now she seemed rather
disappointed"
Too often mothers are so absorbed
in their own interests that they
brush their children's affairs aside
as of no consequence. I have one
mother in mind who sits down
quietly and observes her children,
even arranging for others to come
in regularly that she may have a
group to study. These children will
have a great advantage over the
two lads in the corner cottage, for
much of their home training had to
be, undone.
David, the elder, was self-effacing
while John was always wanting to
occupy the center of the stage.
Their parents emphasized these
characteristics by talking about
them before the boys. Mother would
say, John, you can tell the clerk
what 1 want better than David"
Fortunately for David he entered
kindergarten alone. The teacher OBJ
served that he was painfully shy
and always giving up to others; so
she began commencing his work at
the tables, asking him to choose the
game and expecting him to take his
turn.
One morning his mother visited
the kindergarten. The children were
acting out "The Three Bears" She
was surprised when David was ask
ed to be the great father bear and
more surprised when she heard Da-
vid's great gruff voice."
After the session, the teacher ex-
planned what David needed to
bring him out. The mother had her
eyes opened to the fact that she
had been accentuating the faults of
both boys and that they should
have been treated in exactly oppos-
lite ways.
At home the parents stopped
speaking of David's shyness, invited
i'll company especially for him, en-
couraged him to go alone to his
homes, drew him into con-
by making it easy for him
to express himself and took it as a
matter of course that he would
stand up for his rights in the home
and among the children of the
With John their problem was to
divert him from himself and interest
him in other children so that he
would not interrupt and override
them. 1t is true that John had SUI
perior ability but his parents ceased

RASKOB RESIGNATION

had contributed $4,000 to the Hoov-
er campaign fund, one of the largest
contributions received.
There is said to have been dis
cussion of political affairs among
the General Motors high officials in
the early stages of the campaign at
which an agreement was reached
that the corporation must remain
neutral, and that nothing be done
by any executive which could be
construed by the public as an en-
dOrsement of any candidate by the
corporation.
1t is said to be after this that
Mr.. Raskob accepted the Chairman
ship of the Democratic National
Committee This precipitated fur
ore among General Motors officials,
it was reported, with certain offic-
ials who favor Hoover demanding
Mr.. Raskob's resignation. This dis
sension was simmeFing when the
further announcement was made
that the headquarters for the Smith
organization would be established
in the General Motors Building in
New York.
1t is believed that the purpose of
Mr. Raskob's resignation as chair
man of the finance committee, for
the period of the campaign is to
demonstrate that he is acting as an
individual, thereby preserving the
neutral attitude of the corporation.
There is held to be no particular
significance in the placing of the
Smith headquarters in the General
Motors Building.

PLAN TO CONNECT
ALL STATE ROADS
[COntinned from frst 9agel

course the State Highway Commits
sion will, as it has in the past build
the State roads and will build them
in the section where they are most
needed.
1t is felt, however, that the county
bodies should cooperate with the
State road builders so that the coun-
ty roads will be made to systemati-
cally connect with, and add to, the
road system of the State. 1t is also
felt that the towns should cooperate
in building roads or streets through
the towns. 1t sometimes happens
that county road will run up to a
town on each side but the street of
the town connecting the two sections
of the road will be in miserable
shape.
Under the plan proposed all roads
would connect with other roads so
as to form a definite system and
counties would endeavor to make
their roads connect with the State
road, or in some instances, with the
road of another county. 1t is felt
that with this cooperation on the
part of everyone concerned with
roads and streets, the State would
be so equipped with roads that no
section would be isolated.
The idea would be to make it pos
sible for the farmers and fruit grow
ers in any section of the State to get
to shipping points, or for that mat
ter, to run their trucks direct to dis
tant cities over good roads. At pres
ent the main roads are suited for
this hauling but some of the lateral
roads are not. 1t is admitted that
the plan now under consideration is
the most comprehensive plan for
road system ever attempted in any
State.

tools and encourage him to make

superabundance of energy and ini-

A mother has much to gain in
visiting the kindergarten. She can
observe her child as he does his
part and compare him with the
others. Then, too, she can confer

best method of dealing with each
child.
