any case, may safely be left to the future. The true
present status Of Cleanliness Institute is that Of a
philanthropic foundation. at will deal" says q pros
pectus. "with cleanliness in its broadest scope--not
only the ~practiced questions Of health, comfort and eff
ficiency. but also the relation Of cleanliness to self-re-
|spect, behavior, character, esthetics and the higher
values of life." Already the institute is literally CO.
operating with schools, health organizations, munich
pal welfare leagues and many other types OF social
agencies, through professionally directed departments
of research and survey. information service and other
fact-finding and fact-spreading bureaus versed in the
gospel OF cleanliness and in the modern science OF sani-
|tation.
The founders Of the new institute, contributing
generously to its cost, are the Association Of Amer
lean Soap and Glycerine Producers, Inc, a group whose
members make three fourths Of all the soap used in
America. This announcement is candidly set forth.
just as il should be in the foundations bulletin, and
we are bound to say that we conceive It q very excel
lent work which these manufacturer have taken up.
It is not propaganda but fact that between soap and
social work, as between sanitation and public health.
a very close and real relationship exists. The United
States has traveed far, commercially far, toward un-
Outstanding Of the great amount Of disease, Of social
inefficiency, which can be prevented by enforcement
of hygienic standards. But it still has much to learn.
For example, in a leading article in the current bulle-
tin Of Cleanliness Institute Roscoe C. Edlund, writing
on the need Of proper methods Of restaurant dish
washing. brings out the fact that among $1,000 troops
of the United States, where other conditions were
largely the same, "five times as many men suffered
from influenza in the groups whose dishes were wash
ed by hand, in the old-fashioned way, as did those
whose dishes were washed in boiling water"
Again, 81 per cent of the influenza sufferers in a
group Of 81 1000 civilians were those who had eaten
from hand-washed dishes, to which not enough water,
soap or motion had been applied for thorough clean
ing. The spread of information such as this is, of
course, but one branch of the new foundations work.
But if Cleanliness Institute were to succeed in nothing
more than the control of influenza epidemics, would
not that be as great an achievement as any ever set to
the credit of American public philanthropy?

Moses law had prescribed fasting
for but one day each year., on tne
great day OF atonement. But to this
law of God the scribes and Phari-
sees had added a mass Of their own

Jesus and his disciples did not con-

of fast days there was a howl Of

Works or Necessity and the

From criticising Christ's disciples
for not fasting as they did. they now
pass to criticising them for desecrat-
ing the sabbath day because as they
walked with Him through a wheat
field they plucked some heads of
grain and rubbed off the chaff and
ate the grain to satisfy their hun
ger. In their eyes this was a great
sin. But to Christ it was a perfectly
justifiable act OF necessity and he
cited them a precedent in their own

GROWTH OF MORTGAGE FINANCING
New York .Journal Of Commercial

New York journal OF Commerce)
Careful studies Of mortgage real estate financing
occurring in the United States during 1927 seem to in
dictate the development of a new high record volume Of
securities. Apparently about s1,O16.0OO 900 of real es-
tate mortgages and bonds were sold, an increase Of II
per cent Of 1926. Looking back over the last ten
years, the rate of growth becomes all the more strik-
ing. In 1919 total sales were less than $685. 600 900.
and in 1924 they were still only about 1928, OOOyO
They doubled in 1925 and increased so per cent more
in 1926. Last years growth was therefore a small one
compared with preceding rates of increase, but it has
taken the total figure up to a higher point than ii
ever before realized. The situation is better under
stood when we compare realty offerings Of over sI.OOO.-
100000 with public utility securities Of only slightly
more than $4,000. 100000 and railroad offerings of not
above S5OO,O0O 900. -
OF course this business is entirely independent of
the rural bond and mortgage development which il
going on at the hands of the farm land banks and
joint stock banks. Neither does it include the direct
realty lending carried on by savings banks and insur-
ance companies. If these latter were to be added we
should probably have to treble the estimate OF the to-
tai amount Of securities of every kind. The amount.
at any rate, is so vast that the public savings may be
regarded as profoundly involved in the welfare Of the
business. Undoubtedly the standards Of issue of such
securities have been raised a good deal during the last
few years. There is still much to be done and the
difficulties, both among land banks and real estate
financing concerns during the last year, have been
such as to emphasize more than ever the extreme need
of caution and call for much more conservative and
better methods in many branches of real estate Sc
curities alone.
From the merely selfish standpoint, the business
is too valuable for those who are leaders in it to per-
nit any deterioration.

Real progress has been made by industry and trade
in Great Britain during the year. 1t was possible a
year ago to express the belief that France had seen the
worst Of her financial troubles. Today we can ex-
press admiration for the financial strength of the
French position and for the skill and sagacity Of the
leaders of French finance. Belgium has taken a place,
which her history j~ustifies, among the nations whose
finances are secure. 1t is a pleasure to refer in this
connection to the recent visit Of the distinguished
governor Of the National Bank Of Belgium, to the
United States, which did much to increase Americas
commercial interest and confidence, already great, in
Belgium. Italy, at the end of the year, adds to a long
series Of financial achievements the definite stabilize
ton Of the Ira on the gold basis. and her financial
leaders are entitled to our greatest respect and adj
miration.
Speculation was somewhat serious in Germany
during the early part Of the year until checked by
vigorous action Of the Rechsbank, and certain finan-
cial tendencies in Germany have led to a judicioas
word of caution by the able agent general for repara-
tion payments. We believe there exists in Germany a
clear understanding Of financial realities on the part
of the leaders in industry. finance and government,
and a disposition to cooperate loyalty with the repara-
tions authorities.

CELEBRATE EGG WEEK
THROUGHOUT NATION
rConlinned from frst paae1

The value of poultry and eggs in
the human diet is just being recog-
nized. Poultry meat has long been
the favorite for banquets and other
special occasions. 1t is now being
used more extensively as a part of
the everyday diet. Eggs are not only
nourishing, but recent discoveries
show that they contain important
vitamines that protect the health of
children and even grown-ups.
The Delaware State Poultry Asso-
citation has purchased 500 National
Egg Week posters from the National
Poultry Council and will distribute
these among the grocerymen, res
taurants and hotels to be displayed
during the week May 1 to May Z.
These food distributors are request
ed to feature eggs and poultry dur
ing that week. The public is invited
to eat more eggs for their health's
sake.

STATE ENDS TYPHOID
SURVEY In KENT
[Csntis.,sd frsm first bagel

In Kent county where the work is
completed with the exception Of
Leipsic, several outstanding facts
have developed. One of these is that
typhoid fever carriers" are believ-
ed to be responsible for the contin-
ual development of typhoid fever.
Another is the minute consumption
of either raw or canned milk.
An, Interesting fact in the Kent
county , rvey is that, where there
have BEEN almost yearly cases Of ty-
phoid fever there has been poor
sanitation and bad drinking water.
In towns where the sanitation and
water are bad but where there have
been no cases of typhoid fever for
more than 20 years is proof to the
medical profession that no typhoid
human carriers reside.
In the Kent survey the samples OF
water examined showed much need
for improvement in order to prevent
contamination of drink water. In
this connection, the State Board OF
Health will make recommendation
to the officials of each community
relative to improving these condl-
lions. Many of the officials OF towns
in Kent county are anxious TO oe-
crease the typhoid danger and are
awaiting the State Board of Health's
recommendations.

Pears which are in full bloom this
week throughout Kent and Sussex
counties, show that injury has gen.
orally occurred but the effect on the
crop will be much less and probably
hardly noticeable compared with
that injury that which occurred
with peaches and apples.
There have been some reports
coming in that injury to straw
berries has occurred. but we have
not been able to determine if it
will seriously affect the yield in
Delaware. In the Eastern Shore
section the varieties in bloom are
reported to have been seriously af-
fected.
A more detailed report on the
general condition of the crop will
be given as soon as the extent of
the injury is more accurately deter
mined.
