WARN CHILDREN
NOT TO THUMB
MOTOR RIDES
LConfinned from First Page1

To begin with, the person solicit
ed is invariably a stranger. If known
to the child, a ride would doubtless
be offered without the asking. In the
last analysis, therefore, it is asking
something for nothing. A boy might
just as well feel free to ask the con-
ductor of an electric car to give
costless transportation on request,
or to step up to a drug store fountain
and ask for a soft drink for nothing.
The principle is wrong. 1t Indirect
ly suggests to the boyish mind the
idea of obtaining what he can with
out any recompense on his part, and
the further suggestion that such
course is something to be encourage
ed and taken advantage of when OPP
portunity offers. 1t is contrary to
the basic principles of common hon
esty and is liable to foster spirit
of thickness and deceit.

DELAW ARES
CHARTER LAWS
Are ASSAILED
rCoatinued from First Paael

with any degree of suddenness to the
citizens of this State, for the Blue
Hen State has been in the charter
business for the last thirty-five
years, during which there have been
ample opportunities for envious
States to hurl anathema at our
methods. Yet the chief assault by
Mr.. Flynn on the Delaware laws
comes from their alleged "liberality."
No heed is given to the very salient
fact that this State is in a strategic
position, close to the great money
marts, with provision of machinery
in fine running condition for quick
charters. Speed is reckoned as no
handicap in this modern age, and
should a group wish to incorporate,
if legally they may, the use of one
day instead of a week or two weeks
is not an argument that carries much
weight. Yet Mr.. Flynn makes this
one of his main charges against
Delaware.
