Our advice to stage villains generally,

lows
Never be stage villain at all if you
can help it. The life is too harassing
and the remuneration altogether dis
proportionate to the risks and labor
Don't have too many accomplices,
and If you have got them, don't keep
sneering at them and bullying them. A
word from them can hang you, and yet
you do all you can to rifle them. Treat
them civilly and let them have their
fair share of the swag.
Beware of the comic man. When
you are committing a murder or rob-

Sackcloth Old Symbol
of Mourning for Dead

Sackeloth is mentioned several
times in the Bible. 1t was a coarse
texture of a dark color made Of
goats hair. Smiths Dictoriary Of
the Bible quotes two verses to sub
stantiate the statement that the
color of sackcloth was dark or
black. One verse is Isaiah so ST
clothe the heavens with blackness,
and ! make sackcloth their cover
ing" The other verse is Revela-
ton II -, the second half of
which reads: "and the sun became
black as sackcloth of hair; and the
moon became as blood" Sackcloth
resembles cilicium of the Romans.
named after the province of Cilicia
in Asia Minor, in which was stu
ated Tarsus, the native city of st.
Paul, who knew and at times fol-
lowed the trade of tent maker, that
is, the making of tents out of cili-
cium, the cloth made Of goats hair.
This cloth was the sackcloth of the
ancient Hebrews. 1t was used for
making sacks and for making rough
garments used by mourners, which
were in extreme cases worn next to
the skin, but at other times they
were worn over the coat in place Of
the outer garment.

Saturday Not Always
Sabbath for the Jews

The period from sunset Friday to
sunset Saturday was adopted by the
Jews as their Sabbath about 800
A. d. 1t is erroneous to suppose,
as many do, that the ancient Jew
ish Sabbath always fell on what
corresponds to our Saturday and
that the weekly cycle has never
been broken. In ancient times the
first day of the Jewish year was
also the first Sabbath of the year
and the Gay was determined by the
high priests or the sanhedrin by OBJ
serving the new moon. A Sabbath
followed every seventh day there
after until the end of the year. Con-
sequently the Sabbath was not
regularly recurring seventh day in
the sense that our Saturday or Sun
day is, and the Sabbath did not fall
on the day corresponding to our
Saturday more often than 1t fell on
other days of the week. At that
time, of course, all the days began
and ended at sunset. The Jews,
after being scattered over the
world. found the ancient Hebrew
calendar difficult to follow, and
about 36O A. D., under the leader
ship of Hillel II, they began to
adopt Saturday as their regular
Sabbath.-Pathfinder Magazine.

Citizenship in Athens
Looked Upon Seriously

In modern days the affairs of
cities and states and nations are
discussed and acted upon, not by
all the citizens, but by few rep
resentatives of these citizens, elect
ed by them or chosen by a higher
authority. These comparatively few
legislators assemble at the desig-
mated place and act for the people
they represent. But in ancient
Athens it was somewhat different.
All citizens were invited to join In
the debates in the assembly halls,
and all citizens so invited had a
right to vote directly for or against
the laws that were discussed. And
they listened to the great men as
they talked about the measures up
for a vote of the populace, such
great ones as Themistocles, Pericles
and Demosthenes, among the
greatest orators the world has
ever seen, and then they voted.
The Pnyx, as this place of assem-
bly, was called, is partly in ruins
now, but some of it is still to be
seen on the hill across from the
Acropolis Of Athens. The speakers
platform, with its three steps, is i'm
mediately in the foreground of the
picture. The listening Athenian cit
izens sat on the ground now slop-
ing away to the left, but at that
time it was probably level. The
ground they occupied was inclosed
by q circular wall. This was an
open-air congress" and a lively
place at times, particularly when
some important question was up for
debate.
Two other famous buildings, the
Acropolis and the Parthenon, are
just to the left Of the Pnyx, across
a slight depression and on the neigh
boring hill overlooking the modern
city of Athens.

HARVESTING TOMATO CROP
Yields Are Far Below Normal, Ac'
cording to Growers

Farmers in Sussex County are
now harvesting the tomato, apple,
cantaloupe and corn crop. Toma-
toes are being heavily picked but
the WELD is far below normal, and
about a half of crop is expected.
The fruit is in excellent condition
but the fields are not going to
stand many pickings which is said
to be due to the extreme dry
weather and hot sun. Prices are
standing very good on the local
market, selling from 40 to As
cents per basket. The contract
prices were 25 cents which will
mean a loss to growers. The corn
crop is the shortest known and
farmers are cutting now, and in
many cases are using it for feed.
Pastures are burned so badly the
stock have nothing to eat. The
late apple crop will soon be ready
to pick and the trees are loaded
with fruit, which indicates that a
heavy yield is expected and the
fruit is in very good condition. If
growers are able to dispose of the
fruit at a good price they should
have a good profit. The early ap-
pie crop was failure and thous-
ands of baskets remained unsold.

Arrested at Salisbury on Delaware
Warrant Issued by Mrs. Eta

Paul Prettyman Truitt, 46 years
old, a former member of the Will
mington M. E. Conference, who
was deposed by that body, and
Mrs. Ruth Hastings West, 81 years
old, were taken to Georgetown
last week from Salisbury, Md, by

way Police Sergeant Charles B.
Knox, to answer a charge of lar
ceny They were taken before JUS
tice of the Peace w. j. Mustard
and held under $1,000 bail each for
the next term of court. They were
arrested in Salisbury on Della
ware warrant issued by Mrs. Eta
LaFrance and her mother, Mrs.
Pauline L. Jeavons, of Owens Sta
ton. The Salisbury authorities
claim that the former minister de-
MED the charges but the girl con-
fessed and involved Truitt. Mrs.
Jeavons, who is rs years old,
claims that the pair came to her
home in an automobile on Sunday
night of last week. Truitt, she
charges, made her stand against
the wall on a lower floor while he
went through the house. Truitt
went upstairs, she says, and made
a search and the couple went away
with three coats, two dresses,
bracelet, nine dozen eggs, several
pillow cases and sheets and toilet
articles. The Delaware officers say
they recovered most of these arti-
cles in Salisbury where the woman
lives. Mrs. Jeavons said the pair
had been at the house before. Her
daughter, Mrs. LaFrance, identifi-
ed them. After the alleged rob-
berry on Sunday night, Sergeant
Knox was notified and made a
search for the pair and Sheriff Bud
/ Coy had also been on the watch.
/ Monday of last week they were
notified that the couple had been
captured in Salisbury, went there
and brought them back. Truitt
was tried at the 1928 session of the
Wilmington M E. Conference on a
charge of re-marrying after he had
been divorced which was against
a newly adopted rule of the church
Truitt was first married in Green
field, Ind, on October 27, 1924. He
married Maud Byrd Cropper, of
Ocean City, Md. in 1926. At the
last session of the Conference an
effort was made to reinstate Truitt
in the Conference but no action
was taken.

Provincetown Not the
Oldest Cape Cod Town

Provincetown, because Of the fact
that the Pilgrim Fathers stayed
there while they were looking for
the right site for their colony, has
sometimes been regarded as the old
est of the many famous towns on
Cape Cod. But properly that honor
belongs to Sandwich. The first per-
manent settlers at Provincetown
came in the neighborhood of 1850.
but Sandwich was founded in 1887.
Sandwich, like Boston, was an
intolerant town in the early days.
We worry a good deal over intol-
erance In our own era, bat it is
well to be reminded that tolerance
has always been a rare virtue. The
first settlers passed law that no
other families could come to live
in the town until they had secured
the permission of the minister and
the church authorities.-Exchange.

2,74I UNEMPLOYED IN STATE
Figures On Unemployment Gath
cred by Bureau of Census

There are 2,741 men and women
able to work, who are among the
unemployed of Delaware, accord
ing to the figures on unemploy-
ment just published by the Depart
ment of Commerce, Bureau of Cen
sus, Washington. This informa-
tion was obtained from the recent
census figures, and represents per-
sons usually employed, who were
as being without a job,
able to work, and looking for some
thing to do. The canvass was
started in the early part of April
and the figures were announced
last week for the first time. The
number of unemployed includes IL
per cent of the entire population
of Delaware, which was reported
at 238, $50 in the census. Seven
tenths per cent of the residents of
Kent county who are able to work
are unemployed, representing a to-
tai of 223 men and women without
jobs. The population of Kent coun-
ty is 31,841. OF the 161, ,032 peo-
pie living in New Castle county,
1852, or is per cent are unem-
ployed The rate of the unem-
ployed in New Castle county is
comparatively higher than else
where in the state. In Sussex there
are 156 people out of work. This
represents a total of 03 per cent
of the entire propulation of 45,507
These numbers represent every one
unemployed at the time the census
was taken. Some of them were
temporarily laid off, or have Sc
cured employment since that time.
On the other hand, a number who
were employed when the census
was taken have since lost their
jobs and are still among the large
