Family Believes Vet
Dead: He Keeps Mute

One of the bonus marchers
who has just left Washington is
hiding his identity. He says his
people, who live in Pennsylvania,
believe he was killed in Siberia,
and that it would just cause
them trouble if they knew he
was still alive.
Upon his return to this coun-
try, he settled IN California. later
moving to Nevada, where he
joined the bonus movement when
he lost his job.

SNAIL FOOT GOES RY

Formerly an intense desire exist
ed in the minds of most women to
have small feet. Such feet were ac-
counted beautiful, and large ones
were ugly, to be hidden under long
dresses if possible. A Minneapolis
chiropodist recently said that the
time has actually come when some
women will admit they have an II
size foot, and will wear broad toed
shoes that really fit them.
Apparently the number of such
women and girls has largely in
creased. The girl with larger feet
should be stronger as tennis and
golf player, and if they are not ex-
cessiyely large, her performance as
a dancer should be better. Feet were
made to walk on, and to use in work
and sports, rather than to be looked
at and admired. This new point of
view will add to the achievement of
women.

VACATION PHILOSOPHY

Some people get too much vaca-
tiOn. Others do not have enough.
The people who have been out of
work do not appreciate poetic
thoughts about lOafing, nor do they
respond when they are told to allow
their souls to rest, that the ravages
of toll may be repaired. Their
hearts ache for something to do.
On the other hand, the still greater
number of people who always work
too hard, who are driven sternly on
day after day by the grind of toll,
would not mind being unemployed
for quite some time. Just to sit still
under some quiet greenwood tree,
and listen to the birds and watch
the shadows fit across the grass,
would be healing medicine to their
weary minds.
When life. becomes absolutely reg
ulated, then everyone will have va
cation of moderate length, and will
use it with good sense. Millions of
people already have such rest pc
riods every summer, but not all of
them have learned to use them with
judgment.
Some people return from Vaca-
tion trip more tired than when they
left home Perhaps they tried to
drive their automobiles about twice |
as far a day as the laws of physical
we'll being allow. Nature is stern
Judge, and if we beat her one day.
she demands toll from us at some
future time.
Vacation is playtime, when every
one should have some chance to do
the things he could not do amid the
grind of daily toll. For many of us
It means a chance to see a little
more of the world than our daily
ask permits. Visits to unfamiliar
scenes freshen up the mind and give
is new points of view.
The Milford Chronicle congratu-
ates all of it's readers who expect
| vacation this summer. 1t wishes
hem rest and refreshment, and it
lOpes they bring back ideas that
will be helpful in their own occu-
Dations and in our community life.

INFLUENCE OF CLfMATE

When the historians and philso-
pliers account for American achieve
ment, they should not attribute all
that our people have done to their
superior brains and energy, nor
even to the resources of our rich
land. Our national opportunity has
been made much more favorable by
exceptional climatic advantages.
If climate is too cold, the sum
mers are short, agricultural produc-
tion is limited by the breyity of the
season, the prolonged. winters lead
people to live much of the time in
stuffy and unwholesome houses. And
if climate is too hot, then people
are eneryated by the fierce rays of
the sun, and the sweltering nights
prevent restful sleep.
The United States is situated mid
way between these two extremes.
This constitutes one of the most i'm
portant reasons for its superior eco
nomic position. 1t is warm enough
for prolific crops, yet not so warm
as to be debilitating.
Compare our climate with that of
England, for instance. The prOlong-
ed English fogs and rains shut out
the health giving sunshine for days
at a time. The climate does not have
the freezing cold of our northern
states, yet there is clammy chill
in the air that is depressing to ac-
tivity. rt.F
There is much variation of clim-
ate between the states of our own
country. 1t is the privilege of each
state and section to shout for its own
particular brand of weather. Here
in Delaware we can think of no more
and healthful environ
ment than that which nature gives
us. People who can not be happy
and healthful under our atmospheric
conditions must indeed be exception
il. They should see a DOCTOR. The
chances are he will tell them the
rouble is not with our climate, but
With the way they live in it.

Gently went out through tropical
Africa. 1t will cover the enormous
distance from Damascus to Cape
Town.
This should be one more sugges-
ton to American producers, that
there is a great undeveloped market
in the backward lands for our goods.
They want our household appliances,
our wearing apparel, our automo-
biles, our radios, etc. They may be
too poor to buy them in large guam
titles now. But if they saw these
articles more freely, it would be an
incentive to them to work and earn
money with which to buy them. Our
goods should be advertised in the
darkest corners of Africa and Asia,
and North and South America.

> SELLING" A TOWN

A town has to be sold tolpeople
just like goods handled by. q bust
ness. Business men do not get very
far, unless they are constantly try
ing to find new trade. f~Nr
1t is the same with town. 1t
needs constant effort for develop
ment. This does not necessarily
mean any large expenditure of
money. But there should be con-
sistent plan on the part of the busi-
ness community and townspeople,
for making its advantages more
widely known,' as a good residence
place, as an adyantageous trading
center, as a community with hopeful
business opportunities. If town is
simply satisfied with the progress
that it has attained sinathe past, and
is not constantly laying plans for
better development, tha community
can expect to remain stationary or
go backward.

BOTH Kent and Sussex counties
have arranged to take care of pris-
oners in modern jails, and at cost
corresponding with the low scale of
food supplies which exist in COM
parison with the markets of New
Castle county. where the Workhouse
is located, in which prisoners for
all the state have heretofore been
committed to serve prison sentences
by the courts. The capacity of the
New Castle county institution, has
been exceeded for long time, or it
was so stated. Additions had to be
made to the institution to care for
convicts from all parts of the state,
if the plan was to be continued. AS
the two counties, Kent and Sussex,
paid a per diem for each prisoner
they sent, and with the ever mount
ing cost before the people of the two
lower counties, it was provided
through and by legislative acts, that
new jails be built and each county
care for it's own prisoners, and by
so doing relieve the wOrkhouse from
overcrowded conditions. This has
been done in Sussex county, and in
Kent the new jail is under construc-
ton. 1t may be possible that the |
scale of operations, or the feeding !
of the prisoners will not be on the
same plane as that in the workhouse, /
but, it is a true statement, that the
prisoners in each of the two lower
counties, will be fed better, or as
we'll, as they were before becoming
a charge upon the tax payers of the
counties. The prisons are not model
institutions as to personal comfort
of citizens who obey the laws, but
they do serve the purpose of protect
ing the public from lawbreakers and
keep them comfortable and well fed
during their incarceration in the
jails. Kent and Sussex have relieved
New Castle of a burden, or at least
the necessity to build an addition to
the workhOuse, by providing iails
for their own lawless people.

Tourist HOMES

A new business has sprung up
during recent years along the auto
mobile routes, that of entertaining
tourists overnight in the homes of
people living along the way. 1t is
one of the newer ways by which
women are earning money. Many a
farm family which has had hard
luck on its crops during recent
years, has succeeded in paying its
bills, as the result of furnishing
lodgings and meals to travellers.
Some of these tourist homes are
much more successful than others. If
the traveller who approaches two
such places, and sees that one house
looks shabby and decadent, while
the other is neat and trim and
adorned with shrubbery or flowers,
it is almost certain that he will Sc
lect the latter place for his lodging.
That appearance of neatness is not
a certain proof that the beds will be
better an dthe breakfast more appe-
tizing. The shabby place may some
times give more solid comfort. But
as a rule, the family that attends
to thesdetails of exterior appearance,
will also be more particular about
the beds and the food
That principle applies to every
line of business, and to many kinds
of personal work. The well dressed |
will sell more goods than |
the, shabby one. The store that is
neat, substantial, and modern in ex-
terror appearance and inside furn-
ishings, will sell more than the one
that looks run down and old-fash-
loned.
The tourist homes along the roads
create competition for hotels which
have served the public faithfully for
many years, and whose service is
still needed. But the American peo-
pie are travelling far more than they
lsed to, and there is room for both
Kinds of service. Anyone who sup
'lies good food, clean rooms, and
beds will not be over
ooked by the public.

TAXES s1.OO A WEEK


1t is claimed that the total of all
taxation amounts to about $1.00 a
week per eapia for the American
people. The average mans family
of five people is thus supposed to
pay about $3.50 a year in taxes, di-
rectly or indirectly. And yet it is
difficult to get the average person
much interested in the subject of
politics or government. -''s
He becomes indignant if some
merchant charges him a dollar too
much for some article. Yet the to-
tai cost of federal, state, and mu-
nicipal government is claimed to be
$3.50 annually for his family, and he
scarcely notices it. Nor does he take
any steps to reduce that charge.
Or perhaps some politician comes
around, and promises to grant spe-
cial fayoFs@ to the organization or
element to which he belongs, and he
votes for that candidate. Then as
frequently happens, that politician
does not know much about the
science. of government, and votes
for enlarged expenditure, and thus
lays heavier burdens on the average
man. %, trs s- .+ erf ,p5
Whether the average person pays
his average, proportion of the costs
of government is much debated
quqestioq. Federal taxes on great
incomes probably come mostly out
of the people on whom they are as
sessed. But the federal taxes on cor
porations have tendency to add |
enough to their prices to pay their !
taxes. Taxes on real estate probably |
come largel yout of the people who
occupy that property. Landlords /
would not consent to own rented
unless they could charge
enough rent to pay their taxes, and
caves fair interest return. @
The fact that one receives no bill
rom the government for taxes, does
lot prove he does not pay any. 1t
makes no difference whether he
rays tax directly into the public
reasury, or whether some business
,ays that, tax and then adds it to the
rice Of the product which it sells.

REMINDERS ARE NECESSARY.

People have to be constantly re-
minded of the things they should do.
Many a person has worn string
around his finger to remind him or
her of some errand that must be
done. If people don't make memo
randa of the appointments they have
made. they forget them. No many
people can carry things in their
minds without reminders.
Advertising wins out in part be-
cause it is a constant reminder. The
housewife sees in the newspaper
columns a notice or picture of some
goods, and it Immediately occurs to
her that she wants those things. So
she hurries down to the store that
them, whereas if they had
not been described in the newspa-
per, she would either have forgotten
to buy them for the present, or would
have gone elsewhere.

HITCHHIKING ILLEGAL in
-. DELAWARE - ~,

A recent report had it that eight
states now have laws prohibiting the
soliciting Of rides from motorists.
This practise is so much disliked
that such legislation is likely to be-
come more. general still. 1t is a hard
lay to enforce. since some worthy
young men and boys obtain rides to
and from work. 80 80 ."-
But 'hitchhiking provides the
means by which the crook beats up
and robs his victims; 1t encour-
ages a boy of idle tendencies to ride
around the country instead of work
ing or looking for a job. 1t also
gives the boys the idea that they
can get the advantages of life with
out paying for them. A boy can
better afford to tire out much leg
rather than get that notion
in his too knowing little head.

NATION WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS

A Rotary club speaker recently
remarked that China, with its 450,-
OOO,O people, has only ~ newspa-
pers. Such a state of things goes
far to account for the condition of
that great land. "'5f
The Chinese are one of the worlds
most industrious races. They should
have a leading place in world prog
ress. But they have no system for
distributing intelligence through
newspapers. If there are progress
sive movements in city, they have
no newspapers to inform the people
about these ideas, and to enlist sup
port for them. If you could estab-
lish newspapers in every sizable
town in China, and teach the people
to read, the nation could be trans
formed in 10years.
In fact there is a lesson for us
even here in Delaware. A commun-
ity in which newspapers are not
well supported, lacks very much of
the machinery by which sentiment
is organized for progressive move
