latter stopped and Mrs. Starks called
out:
"Shad Morryson, this is pretty COM

"Well, l don't know any better COM

A cruel ironlcal laugh came from the
woman. The man muttered reproach
to his wife for speaking to black

The grimy blacksmith looked out Of
the open doors of his shop with red
hot iron in his hand as Shad and
Bumpy came along. He shook the
iron and shouted: "There goes that

He hurriedly opened the sack and
hurled an egg at Bumpy. 1t struck
between the shoulders of the old man

Republics in Europe
Before United States

Two important European repub
lies antedate the little United
States of 1776-HoIand and the
city state of Venice. Both per.
ished in the tangle of the French
revolutionary wars, but both are
worthy of honored memory, says a
writer in the American Review OF
Reviews.
Venice, though republican, was
far from democratic. 1t was ruled
by an unlimited oligarchy, drawn
from aristocratic untitled families
who had amassed fortunes through
trade.
Yet there was complete social
democracy for the proletarian pop
ulation, with religious freedom, no
feudal obligations. and the famous
Inquisition to protect the common
er from aristocratic aggression.
The people were actually freer than
their proud oligarchs.
War between Austria and the
French Jacobins found Venice an
unarmed decadent neutral whose
territory was quickly invaded. IN
like Belgium in 1914, the Vene-
tians failed to resist; but they re-
fused no less than four offers of
alliance from the irate Napoleon.
Finally in 1897, at the peace of
Campo FormiO, Venice was given to
a defeated Austria to compensate
for losses elsewhere. She remained
Austrian till 1866, when Bismarck
restored the city to the new united
Italy.

SCHOOL SPORTS BIG YEAR 81
Number of Students Competing in
ID. /. A. a. Contests Doubled

Athletic competition among
Delaware schools outside of Will
A. A, during 1881 was more geen
than in any previous year. One
new sport was added. To the Of
ficials in charge the outstanding
feature was the increase shown in
students participating in athletics.
The number almost doubled. Prof
George H. Hendricks, State direc-
tor of physical education, express
ed himself and his department as
being well pleased with the years
results. The competition in all
branches was keen and several ex-
ira contests were needed to decide
tn winners. New Castle High
School again won the champion
ship for boys basketball and the
Laurel girls were crowned champ
ions in their department. Volley
ball for girls was introduced on a
competitive basis and in the final
playoff the Middletown girls won
the spring championship. This
team retained the honors in the
fall outdoor season. Newark and
Delmar shared the football hon
ors. After a gruelling campaign,
FELTON, High School, one of the
smallest schools in the State, won
the baseball championship. Sew
eral extra contests were needed
before the winner was definitely
determined The elementary school
baseball championship went to the
New Castle county track and field
honors while in Kent county Caes-
ar Rodney procured first place and
in Sussex county Greenwood was
the champion. All of these schools
were also the winners in 1880 of
the same events. Harrington won
the soccer championship, a title
that was held by Claymont last
field hockey honors. While the
results for 1881 were gratifying,
the outlook for the coming year is
better and the future of scholastic
athletics in Delaware schools
seems to be well assured.

ARE YOU a CAREFUL DRIVER
One Person is Killed Every 16
Minutes in Automobile Accident

Nine out of every ten of the
persons killed in automobile acct
dents in this country during the
past few years were victims of
drivers who have had more than
a years experience behind the
wheel. Persons with less than
months driving experience were
involved in only two per cent of
the non-fatal accidents. Opera
tors of cars, with experience be-
tween 3 months and 6 months
were involved in one per cent of
the fatalities and one per cent of
the non-fatal mishaps. During the
past 2 years drivers between the
ages of Is and "a figured in more
than 80 per cent of the accidents
in which persons were killed and in

something to think about and an
inducement to drive carefully"
Records indicate that more than a
fifth of all fatalities happen on
Sunday, with Saturday, Friday and
Monday ranking in order in the
number of deaths. A man may
have a mechanically perfect car
but because of careless driving he
may cause an accident that results
in serious injury or death to him
self or others. A moment or two
saved today by reckless speeding
is not efficiency, for speeding to-
morrow may result in smash
that will lay up the car for sew
eral days and you for several
months. The gain is not worth
the risk. There is too much dang

the producers of raw material.
There have grown up political and
economic differences that have
made it hard for one section of the
country to understand the prob
lens of another.
Mass Production Natural Result
AS the investment in machines
in a factory increased, it became
necessary to turn out more goods
in order to keep the big machines
and the large number of employ
ees working full time. Mass pro-
duction was the natural result, and
with capacity output per machine
and per man, the price naturally
fell to more nearly the buying level
of the average income. The more
the average worker was able to
huy. the more need for the modern
factory to work to capacity to
turn out a maximum of goods. 1t
was a beautiful system while it
worked. We were prosperous
and contented people. The thing
that has happened to us is the re-
suit of the inertia of people who
have to do too little work for what
they get. But, under economic
stress. the differences between the
interests of the people in various
sections of the country stick out
like so many sore thumbs, and will
not be forgotten. There is a new
idea full of possibilities at work.
It is an idea that is of vital i'm
portance to every small town
merchant or property owner in
this country. 1t is the very prac-
teal proposition that in the near
future much of the manufacturing
of the western world may be done
in small units. This is made a
practical possibility by the com
mon use of electricity as power.
It is practicable to use small cleo
trio motors for manufacturing. In
many modern plants today we see
several small motors doing separ-
ate Jobs that at one time were all
done by one large power plant. In
other words, with the use of cleo
trio motors it is feasible to take
the factory to the raw material in
stead of freighting the raw mater
ial to the factories and back again
to the market for the manufactur-
ed goods.

Only
Ten Years Ago

ONLY ten years ago life on the farm meant an almost
primitive existence. It practically all worlz-hard
work-and very little play.
Today, the widespread distribution Of modern TOOLS
clothes, washing machines and radios make pleasant
and profitable the hours that used to be tedious and
difficult
Advertising has had its share in bringing about this
transformation. 1t spreads before the farmer every
week. whole printed marketpace from which, at his
leisure he may select those things which he desires,
and which his budget will permit. Thus advertising
has found customers for the manufacturer, and
more necessities aond comforts of life for the rural
buyer
This is but phase of advertisings service to the
nation. Read the advertisements. 1t saves time and
money And it continually informs you Of many con-
Vemences and comforts that you might otherwise miss!
