DICTATYPE Announces
EXPANSION PROGRAM

Announcement Of an extensive eX-
pansiOn program is made by Dicta-
type, incorporated, of Wilmington,
Delaware, manufacturers of Dicta-
type, the new machine for typing
dictation. Although phenomenal sue
cess has attended the activity of the
company over Il period of little more
than Il year, the movement now on
foot is designed. to extend the bust
ness to international proportions, it
was stated. Already the Dictatype
has been placed in 112 public and
private business schools and col
leges in 80 States, and inquiries
about this new method of taking die
tation by machine have been receiv-
ed from IL foreign countries, it was
said.
The Dictatype is described as
small. lightweight machine with a
keyboard resembling a typewriter,
but having less than half as many
keys and Being very simple in de-
sign. .,.t
One of the outstanding features of
the Dictatype is that it prints dicta-
tiOn in plain English, so that any
one can read the notes.
Freedom from complex code and
symbol makes it possible to learn
Dictatype in from 1-3 to 1-2 the time
required by shorthand methods, it is
claimed. The machine also Is cap
able of great speed in taking notes,
the Wilmington organization states.
1t is expected that a demonstra-
tion OF the Dictatype will be made in
this city shortly.
Thus it is possible in business Of
fees for other stenographers to
take the printed notes from the op-
orator Of the. machine, write the
letters and have them on the desk
of the boss" before lie has finished
his dictatiOn. The keyboard is scien-
tifieally arranged according to the
frequency with which certain much
used letters occur in the English
language, so that the machine prints
many complete words and phrases in
one stroke.

Men Seek Home Comfort
When They Get Married

Mrs. Irene WestbroOk writer of
"Us Brides of a Year" column in the
January Household Magazine says,
I'VE hear much. about the brides
rosy dreams and how they are all
coming true as she furnishes the
new nest to suit her taste and cooks
in the shiny new kitchen. But we do
not hear about the groOm's dreams;
surely he has some, too, or he
wouldn't have bought rings and
flowers and planned a wedding day.
The dreams he has may be of a
deep-seated, high-backed chair with
a foot rest and a smoking stand
close by, and lots of books and mag
azines; or of a fireplace where he
can pile logs on winter nights and
talk with friends while the red
sparks sputter and die; or of yard
where he can plant roses and hon
eysuckle and watch for the red and
green challenge of barberry and ey-
ergreens after a snowfall. 1t may be
any of these. or others, or what is
better still, just a deep interest in
everything that goes on inside the
house and in the yard. But whatever
it is, surely the home should en-
courage his interest and be a place
where he can see his ideas carried
out"

Trucks And Buses
Continue Growth
Commercial Cars 0utstrip Road And
Street Provisions
Rr E. E. DnffY

BY Z. f. Duffy
How trucks and buses are extend
ing their utility in an amazing way
was brought to light during the in
terestate commerce commission
hearing in Chicago recently.
Testimony revealed that the rail
roads have increased their owned
bus business by 500 per cent in the
last three years and now have some
4l,OOO,OOO invested in highway We
/ hicles.
Fruit, vegetables and other farm
produce are taking to the truck, it
was shown. One railroad official
stated that in some case apples had
been hauled 700 miles to reach
points in New Mexico. Vegetables
shipped by truck from the territory
OF one railroad in Arkansas totalled
rs to 80 per cent of the shipments
in 1929, but in 1880 this had risen to
so to 55 per cent.
The hearing revealed that approx
imately nine-tenths of the jobbers
traffic in groceries moving out of
Springfield, Missouri, are handled by
truck, and that merchandise ship
ments by rail from that city in 1890
were half the 1925 shipments.
An official of Middlewestern rail
road testified that his railroad had
lost thirty per cent of its passenger
traffic in recent years.
These are signs of the times. The
use Of the truck and bus has grown
so rapidly that the layman has still
to fully realize its importance. AS Il
consequence many communities have
not as yet adjusted themselves to the
new form of transportation. This is
shown in the condition of roads and
STREETS throughout the country.
Motor transportation, as revealed
in its life story, flOurishes only where
adequate provisions have been made
for travel. Good roads stimulate
commercial motor vehicle traffic, and
that means a more efficient society,
as well as reduced transportation ex-
penseS. 1t is true that muses. and
trucks are large and heavy and that
they impose great burdens on road
are serving the public, and at the
behest of the public, also they would
MT be found on the roads.
Roads and streets should be built
for heavy traffic flows. Even the
light passenger car is possessed of
a potential destructive force that
will, in short order, bring unpleas-
ant and costly travel to lightly sur
laced roads. The community that
would build modern roads for mod
arn traffic should remember the ac-
cepted engineering principle that a
pavement is no stronger than its
base, and if the base is strong en-
1ugh there is no need for additional

HatchabIe Eggs
BN Prof. II. d. Mnnroe

by ffOIs lie Ds MunFOc
TO produce strong, healthy chicks
it is necessary to have the breeders
in good condition. A healthy breed
ing flock is one that has gone
through mOlt, has bright red combs
and is in good condition. There are
three essential requirements to pro-
duce good hatchable eggs-green
feed, sunlight and milk.
The requirement for good green
feed is that it grew in the sunlight
and carries green color. About
the only winter green feed for breed
ers is alfalfa hay. Later i'll the sea-
son, if the birds are out on grass
range, they will not need alfalfa.
Sunlight is very ESSENTIAL to pro-
duce good matches. During the Win
ter when the days are short and sun
light is scarce, cod liver oil is the
only substitute Cod liver oil is n
very important winter feed for
breeders.
Milk, in some form, is necessary
to produce good healthy chicks. 1t
is interesting to know that the COM
bination of alfalfa, milk and cold
liver Oil will produce healthy chicks
in winter just as well as the natural
sunlight, green grass and milk will
produce them in the spring.

SEE DEER on FARM
NEAR PENNINGTON

The Board of Fish and Game Com
missioners of the State of Delaware
has announced that a doe has been
seen recently on the farm of Edward
Workman, near Pennington. This
deer is supposed to have come from
Maryland, where there is quite Il
herd of deer in Worcester and Cecil
Counties. Delaware laws are very
strict in the protection of deer, and
prohibit the killing Of deer at any
time and in any manner, especially
deer that are in the wild. The game
commissioners are especially anXi-
GUS that this doe shall be protected
and hope that eventually deer may
be found in larger numbers in Kent
and Sussex counties.

Defends Girl Employees

Prompted by an editorial in
previous issue of the Household
Magazine, Eleanor Wolf, former
teacher, now a business woman
dealing largely with girl employ
ees, writes in the Household for
February that she has not met
many girls who are unwilling to
work diligently" Instead" she
continues, they simply did not
know how to work to the best ad-
vantage The Office, therefore must
attempt what the schools have left
undone. The majority of girls who
start on the first job have few sys-
tematice habits of thought or action
and little sense of the value of
time"
which comments Nelson An
u.n Crawford, editor-in-chief of
the magazine, "is a pertinent criti-
cism of our education. We try to
give children i'm school a great as
sortment Of facts, most of which
they will never use, and fail to train
them in concepts and habits that are
necessary to success in everyday
life. Home and school training in
thrift, i'm definite day-by-day work.
in standards other than money, is
essential if we are to reduce the
number of incompetent drfters

DO You Agree Win
These School VietUS?

To-day the world is largely ruled
by lawyers, they tell me. Tomorrow
/ am certain, it will be ruled by
school teachers and the tomorrow is
at hand" Continuing his indict-
ment against the methods of school
teachers, Archie ChadbOuTne writes
as follows in The Household Masa-
zine for January:
school teachers are not only
guiding the children of today, but
they are telling us parents what to
do. Teacher has superseded the
home in the training of our young
people. What teacher says to child
has more weight than tile wOodshed
treatment father administers. But
when teacher sees the crime wave
so prevalent among our young she
Immediately lays the blame on the
home instead of taking her portion
of it. She teaches directly and in
directly disrespect for parental au-
thority which is the basis for all au-
thOrity but refuses to accept the re-
spOnsibility for the results"
The Household author says times
have changed since he attended
school He realizes that. But" he
remarks, fundamentals have not
changed. We are paying our school
teachers to teach fundamentals. We
are paying them to teach fundamen-
tails in better, easier, speedier way
than we were taught. But il does
not necessarily follow if we do not
Keep abreast of all the up-to-date
methods Of applying these funda-
mentals that we are mOssbacks. We
ordinary people are sick and tired
of the idea that we must keep up
with our children We expect them
to go on ahead of us, to push the
world ahead of them. We expect
teacher to keep ahead of us, we de-
mand that she have better educa-
tiOn, but we demand too that she
cease pushing forward that super-
cilious superiority complex in
which she INDUCES before our chill
dren and also before us if we
chance to make an opportunity to
talk with her about our children. We
children. not us.
Teachers are inviting us every
day to visit the schools and see how
they are being run. They even in
Vite our advice, but Pm not so sure
they want it. I've belonged to five
parent-teacher groups and | have
yet to get a discussion of the child
problem from the viewpoint of the
parent who supports that child. The
main use of a parent-teacher group,
so far as can see, is to get up en-
tertainments to buy school supplies
which the taxpayers will not afford. !
That is laudable. But so far as CO.
operation of teacher and parent is
concerned, it is a .One-sided arrange
ment. The teachers want the par
ent cooperation. but they are not so
keen on cooperation with the par
ent. There is heap of difference"

THIS SOUNDS LIKE
GENUINE FARM RELIEF
A Pennsylvania Grange Plan Would
Get Results


IN the maze of legislation and
other theoretical projects for bring
ing "relief' to the stricken farmers
of the country, it is of interest to
see occasionally plans advanced
which would be of genuine benefit to
the agricultural industry if they
could be put into operation. One of
these is sponsored by the Grange in
Pennsylvania, and many thoughtful
people will agree. that it has COM
nonsense sound, with the added
virtue of requiring no such trelhend-
GUS sums to be scattered over the
land as have been put at the dis
posal of governmental agencies dur
ing the past year. Here is tile Penn
sylvania plan of farm relief" as
voiced by the head of the State
Grange organization, T.. b. Dorsett:
Stop further reclamation projects;
limit immigration; begin q nation
wide campaign for refOrestation;
quit gambling. in food products, esz
pecially. cereal grains; prevent the
greed and grating that is produced
on food products; establish an order
ly system of marketing; find new
uses for products now wasted; guar
antee to the armer a good return on
his labor, the same as is now as
sured public itulities-and agricul-
tnre will come into its own.

Consigned his life to duty.
