PLAZA THEATRE TO ARRANGE
PROGRAM TO SUIT CHILDREN

Saturday matinees are becoming
quite popular to both young and ole
alike since the New Plaza Theatre
management decided to arrange
their programs in selecting attrac-
tiOns both on the stage and screen
that would appeal TO young and old
alike. Only stage and screen attrac-
tiOns suitable for the children as
well as the grown ups will be shown
on the weekend programs. Mothers
need not hesitate in the future of
sending the kiddies to the matinees
or night performances for fear that
| the picture or the Vaudeville might
not be suitable for them to see. Care
full consideration is being given in
the selecting of the programs for
Fridays and Saturdays and no eX-
pense is being spared in making
these programs attractive and bene-
fetal to all ages.

lect only attractions that will appeal
to the entire family another hit
week of exceptional stage and screen

ment is to give its patrons more en-
tertainment of the highest quality

lowest admission price.
The program for the coming week
starts with bang on Friday, Mar
Goth, and continuing Saturday, Mar

MANY TOWNS have a very tran
sient population. People move into
them, stay a little while and then go
elsewhere. This may be because of
the irregular operation of their in
dustries. However, one reason why
some towns have such a transient
population, is that people form no
roots of personal association there.
They are not cordially received, no
one takes any notice of them. That
is no way to build up a town. If a
community does not extend a cordial
personal welcome to newcomers, if
the neighbors do not greet them
heartily, if societies and associations
do not make place for them, they
will feel no reluctance to move away
somewhere else.

FAMILY DESERTERS

Social workers report more cases
than usual of men who desert their
families. 'Non-supporters" are dis
appearing into the unknown dis
tance. It must always be so follow
ing periods of business depression.
/ Supporting a family calls for real
, work. Men of an indOlent DISPOSE
/ tion should not attempt it. They
would do better to avoid beguiling
some good woman by their wheedling
ways, TO join their doubtful fates.
They are not fitted to assume the
cares of family life, and have neither
earned its joys, nor have they pre-
pared themselves to carry its loads.
After a man of that type has wor-
ried along for some years with bills
for food and clothing and rent, life
looks dark to him. Some women ag-
gravate the situation by constant
nagging and failure to do their share
toward a happy home. But whether
or not the wife is partly to blame,
the man begins to regret the free
dom of his single life.
Then if hard luck comes, unem-
plOyment, illness, etc, the joys of
family life have turned to dust and
ashes, and he dreams of making a
new start free of all encumbrances.
Some fine day, his place is vacant,
and the pathetic and shabby wife is
left helpless with hungry children
clinging to her frail skirts.
Marrying a woman and having
children and then not standing by
these dependent ones is about the
limit Of meanness. If a man has
had hard luck, any good woman will
make allowances, and either help
earn money or at least refrain from
reproaching her husband for things |
he can't help. The man who drops
out of sight and leaves a woman to
fight her battles alone, should be pur-
sued and led back by the ear, and
made to work if work can be had,
lr else he would better go to Jail.

Points help it is doubtful whether
anything like this result would have
been achieved. 1t was he who sup
piled not only much of the means
but also the incentive.
The tenyear program has not only
made the people Of Delaware school
minded, as they never were before,
but it has given then Il practical
demonstration in the matter of mod
en school building. The best meth
OdS known were adopted and fol-
lowed throughout Highly skilled
architects, engineers and other
workers were employed. The splen-
did start that has been made with
the help of Mr., du Pont must be con
timed. We cannot go back to the
old school methods that once obtain
ed all over our state.
1t is pertinent, therefore, for the
authorities to heed the suggestions
contained in Mr.. du Points letter an
nOmcing his plans regarding the
foundation. The recommendation
that only architects and supervisors
trained in school construction be
employed hereafter, as they have
been during the past decade, must
be followed if the high standard of
the work is to be maintained. There
are other suggestions that cannot be
ignored without jeopardizing our
school establishment, and likewise,
the interest of the public.
The people of Delaware owe Mr..
du POnt a debt of gratitude for the
great help he has been in converting
Il deficient and hap-hazard school
system into one of the best in the
country. They can show their APP
probation by carrying on in accord
ance with the new standard.

SATAN'S MISCHIEF
Satan has his mischief still.
For idle hands to do,

@+%N''Nt+AANA
For idle hands to do,
said the old verse our grandparents
learned in their childhood We do
not visualize Satan quite so much as
Il person as our elders did, but we
know that the evil tendencies Of
which Satan was the symbol, exist
just as much today.
Idleness brings mischief. volun-
tary or involuntary. Crime always
increases in times when there is
much unemployment. Some men
argue that il is the business OF the
community to provide work for them
to do. If the community provides
no legitimate work. they proceed on
the idea that they are at liberty to
themselves in some other
way. 1t is poor logic, but it sways
some minds.
Some men take to drink in times
of idleness. Suffering from depres-
sion, they feel the need Of some
Weary with looking for
work, the speakeasy looks specially
and they enter it when
they would pass it by if they were in
cheerful spirits. working on their
Job
The mind preys on itself if not well
occupied. Idle men have too much
ime for their own good. If they
would use that idle time in studying ,
which they ought to know, |
hey could make it profitable. But

ution. So they just sit around i'm

heir courage, initiative, and energy
ozes ont of them. They do not mean
ny mischief, but unconsciously

hem.
The harm done by idleness goes
arther than the loss of wages. 1t
'orks itself out in a hundred ways.

axe very seriously any such period

fenced, and be willing to go as far

ions from occurring in future in

WORKING AT NINETY

The recent celebration of the Goth
birthday of Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes of the United States Su-
p2eme Court, presents the country
with the remarkable spectacle of a
man of that great age who is still at
work, and able to hold one,.of the
nations greatest responsibilities.
His mind is as keen as ever, and
his physical ability remains good.
He is an example to the nation not
merely in the breadth and tolerance
and wisdom of his ideas, but in the
way he has preserved his mental and
physical powers.
If people want to be vigorous at 80,
they should initiate him. First of all
they must take care of themselves,
and live prudent and abstemious and
wholesome lives. But Justice Holm
es' example suggests that work is
not the thing that kills people,
though of course overwork often
does. But work is mans natural ac-
tivity, and most men do not add any
thing to their lives when they retire
from active occupations. Often they
sink into a kind of physical sloth
which accelerates their decline.
Instead of work firing out and ex-
hausting Justice Holmes, it has no
doubt prolonged his life He has
been notable for the keen zest
which he manifests for his labors
Every case he hears is to him a most
interesting problem. His mind
jumps to the task of analyzing that
problem with eager alacerity He
gets stimulus from it. If there was
an age limit on service to the bench,
and he had been forced to retire, he
might have died before this. But
give him his work, and he is happy.
The way to health and long life is
not to quit work and just play. Play
will never give people the stimulus |
that work will give, if they are real
ly interested in their work and love T,
it. If we want to live long, let us
find some work that we love, and |
stick to it.

EGGS-A SAFEGUARD
TO HEALTH

Use eggs generously in the diet is
the recommendation of Miss Pearl
Macdonald Of the Extension Service
Of the University Of Delaware.
During this year, attention has fire.
quently been called to the value OF
milk in safeguarding the health of
/ people, especially children.
EGGS, also, have very important
part to play in safeguarding health,
continues Miss Macdonald.
Next to milk, they are the most
important source of protein in the
diet of the growing child. Because
they contain protein which builds
and repairs muscle tissue, they are
one Of the substitutes for meat.
Egg yOlk contains the important
vitamis A, b and d. Vitamin A is
the one that helps to build up in the
body the power to resist, or over
come infections such as colds, etc
For this reason, it is often called the
anti-infective vitamin.
Vitamin ID, sometimes nicknamed
the Sunshine vitamin," is the one
that helps to prevent rickets-a dis
ease of the bones in which bones do
not harden in the right way. OF all
natural foods, egg yOlk is the best
source of vitamin d, with the eXcep-
tion of cod and other fish oils.
In addition to the vitamin of eggs,
they are very valuable for certain
minerals-irOn, phosphorus and lime
which are in such form as to be
readily used in the body nutrition.
The fat in egg yolk compares with
the cream of milk-easily digested
and well used
Because of the above values, eggs
should have a place in every per-
sons diet, advises Miss Macdonald.
A child five to six months old may
be given Il small amount of egg yolk,
increasing the amount un-
til at the age of eighteen months the
child may have a whole egg yOlk
After two years, il is desirable for
the child to have an egg a day. If
not one a day, at least one every
other day.
Eggs may be used in many ways in
the diet: as the main diet of a meal;
in baking; for thickening as in GUS
Lards, sauces, etc; as a leaVening
agent as in Omlets, Souffles, and sim
liar dishes.
Cooked below the boiling point, |
eggs are more easily digested than !
hose cooked at boiling temperature. |
The present price of eggs permits
If a more generous use of them by |
'amilies with a limited amount of |
money to spend for foods.
The following are suggested ways
If using eggs:
Tomato Toast with POached Egg
cover slice of toast with stewed to-
nato well-seasOned with butter, pep
,er, salt and little sugar, and thick
med little if desired. On the to-
nato, place a pOached egg and sprin-
lie with salt and pepper. Cooked,
sweet corn may be
sed in the same way.
Steamed Eggs: Into a buttered
aking dish, break eggs, add l or 2
easpOOns of water, cover dish, place
ver slow fire, cook until white is
ct and yOlk is covered with white
I'm.
Scrambled Eggs: Beat eggs until
ght, add l tablespoon milk to each I
gg, season with salt and pepper.

1T MAKES little difference how
meritorious a proposition is, if the
public does not understand it. Some
one may be promoting some abso-
lutely good proposition for home
town development, but if he has no
scheme by which people are to be
given information about that plan,
he will enlist little favor for it. The
same principle applies precisely to
business. A concern may have the
very best goods in the world, at a
perfectly reasonable and even low
price. But if there is not some good
plan for informing the public about
those goods, the chances of selling
them are poor. Advertising will sell
them, and transform a failing ven
ture into a successful one.

A Major Tragedy

When the funeral of Captain William SCluett was held at his home. Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. Sunday he was eulogized as a fine ohurchman, good husband and father, , and good friend. ...' Captain Cluett was commander of the rum-runner, Josephine K. He was killed outside New York harbor recently by shot fired from coast guard Z boat. His death caused considerable agita ton in this country and has also resulted in an investigation by Canadian authorities But , we were more interested in reading of his funeral We learn that legislators business men. sea captains, and the leading townspeople of Lunenberg gathered for the obsequies Sunday.
 The Rev Major Ryder rector of the dead mans church, in speaking of the tragic death , said 1t was "one of the ma or tragedies that follow the hypocrisy of prohibition. .. That's the opinion of an outsider. And it is worth good deal in moulding public opinion. . A few more years of prohibition, especially if , more money to enforce it is appropriated, will cause this nation to become the most detested 1! in the world. As 1t is now we are laughed at and ridicued. The United States of Amer 1, lea with its claims to liberty and freedom actu- ally attempts to dictate a policy of total pro- : hibition to people who have been bred in ! unfettered bonds
 Perhaps a few more deaths, violent ones like the Canadian captains, will convince those dry sceptios that their noble experiment isn't worth the candle. If anyone cares to look up the figures they will readily find that in lo30 alone lo0 people were killed by the enforcement of dry laws. That brought the
 total up to 1850 for the ten years or more
 that the Volstead act has been in force. We
 really believe that there are prohibtionists
 who would sacrifice ten times that number of people to retain dry laws on the statute books.
 But there are too many sane people in this country to permit such conditions to continue
 much longer.
 We are coming to the opinion that Pres
 dent Hoover will even modify his stand on
 prohibition if he expects to be renomnated
 next year. Of course ardent drys are even , now proclaiming that the republican party can't do anything but support the amendment
 if it wants continued success. There seems
 to be an agreement of opinion that the demo- cratic party will insert wet plank in its plat
 form. It wouldn't surprise us to find both
 parties seeking modification along the plan
 advocated by Henry w. Anderson of the
 Wickersham commission. But at any rate
 the United States cannot continue to sacrifice
 lives for an experiment. Temperance will
 never be won at this price. Evidently some
 of us require more education.
