BY JEAN NEWTON
To "Pull the Strings"

r1ERE is a phrase which is known
L j to anyone engaged in politics par
ticularly.
However, it is not alone in politics
that the expression enjoys full if not
overtime duty.
In business, in the devious art OF
the social climb, in professional as
well as public activity, it is rarely, If
ever, that things just happen.
Somebody, usually unseen, certainly
inconspicuous, does the work, while
those who are apparently doing it, are
oftener than not simply mouthpieces
or dummies.
1t is exactly this sort of thing that
goes on when marionettes move. Some
body behind the scene, and not at all
prominent is pulling the strings.
And it is from this institution that
we originally had the line pulling
strings" with all the connotation that
it has in our present day lexicon.

NEW YORK TRUMBULL

Nassau is still one of my favorlte
streets. Wandering down from the vi
cinity of Brooklyn bridge, where 1t
loses it's identity in Park Row, it final
ly strikes Wall street and becomes
Broad It does SO in two ways-Dy
changing it's name and widening TO
about twice it's former size.
Narrow and deviating no little from
the straight line, Nassau street is one
Of the few Manhattan thoroughfares
where the pedestrian has chance.
Wheeled traffic-and there is not mucn
of it since drivers who can, avoid Mas
sau-moves so slowly it really doesn't
count. Hence there are as many who
travel in the middle of the street as
use the sidewalks.
That holds true, especially during
the luncheon recess. Then, Nassau's
sidewalks are entirely inadequate.
When the myriad offices Of the finan-
cial district pause for midday food,
Nassau street really comes into Its
own It's an old street, but then 1t
becomes young. Clerks, stenographers
and other workers connected with
money come trooping into Nassau to
eat, shop, chatter with friends. or
parade down the narrow thorough
fare arm in arm. Those crowds, in
the main, are youthful and full Of the
spirit of youth. They are good-looking
crowds also. In fact. this correspond.
ent rates them higher in feminine at
tractiveness than any Park avenue pa
rade he has witnessed.
Nassau's attraction for shoppers Of
the adjacent financial center Of the
country comes through the fact that
almost anything may be bought there.
Some of the stores, though they may
be mere holes in the wall, have bark
ers. Others use loud speakers. So
there is considerable noise and con.
fusion. Prices also are attractive.
Insofar as could be noted in a stroll
from the statue of Benjamin Frank

the feet of the Great Printer-down
to the sub-treasury building, not a
price ended in naught or five. The

also, popular brands of cigarette sell

Most of the Nassau street shops do
almost all their business during the
luncheon hour. At other times of the
day they are somnolent, with only a

the proprietor on duty. But when

Many persons overlook these pastes.
We do not find this fault committed
by Italians, of course, and one Of the
reasons why some of us are so much

of the short cooking which gives them

KENT DAIRYMEN
LIFT MILK PRICES
Some Producers Want Adjustment
In Schedule Un6er Code

A group of about so dairymen and
owners of COWS in Kent county met
at Dover last Friday night for the
purpose of attempting to obtain
some adjustment in the retail price
of milk as fixed by the Federal Gov
ernment in the Philadelphia area,
of which Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
are a part. The meeting was called
to order by R. C. Beckett, sanitary
engineer of the State Board of
Health and member of the Milk
Commission recently named by Gov
ernor c. Douglass Buck.
Under the prices listed by the
Federal Government in the pamphlet
the price of Grade AA milk in the
area is 10 cents a quart and IL cents
a pint; Grade A is IA cents per
quart and cents per pint, while
Grade B is IL cents a quart and z
cents pint.
1t was the contention of persons
at the meeting that while Philadel-
phia folk might be able to pay those
prices, persons residing in Kent
county could not do so, and thought
some reduction should be made. The

COMMITTEE HELPS

The custom of assembling the stu
dents who are entering college for
their first year a few days in ad-
vance of the return of upperclass-
men is quite general throughout the
country. 1t gives an opportunity for
new students to take look at their
college independently and an equal
opportunity for the faculty to ap-
praise the group that in four years
time will constitute that much dis
cussed body the senior class. For
the new student there is a comfort
ing impression of solidarity as the
entire group meets hour after hour,
for things that are serious and
things that are recreational. There
is a swift estimate of mutual tastes
and ambitions, a surprised accep-
tance of new mannerisms and new
ways of thinking.
Each freshman who enters the
Women's College receives in ad-
vance a catalog of the college, a
copy of the constitution and regula-
tions of the student self-government
association, her room assignment,
and a program of Freshman Week.

Milford Consumers Are Asked To Buy Only From
Those Stores Which Display Blue Eagle; Employ
ment Rises In City; Many Employees Get Wage
Increase; Shirt Factory Wants Location Here.

In order to assist both employers
and employees who might find diff
Guilty in properly doing their part in
accordance with code regulations,
General Murphy recently announced
the following committee on inter
probation of codes: Rev. Frank Her
son, representing the ministry; Mrs.
A. Donnell Marshall, representing
womanhood; Fulton Downing, repre-
senting the manufacturers; James
P. Pierce, representing the shop
keepers, and William Cleaver, rep
resenting labor.
A large NRA banner has been re-
ceived to be hoisted on the city flag
pole in the Plaza Square beneath the
Stars and Stripes, however, it was
felt that inasmuch as there are still
few shop keepers and others who
have not yet signed their card of
cooperation the city should not
have their flag up until it is 100%
NRA. People of Milford are asked
to look for the Blue Eagle wherever
they do their shopping and to take
note of those who have not yet pro-
cured theirs.
The number is insignificantly
small, yet they stand in the way of
making Milford 1000 NRA.

CONSERVATION CORPS
AIDS RELIEF GROUP
Money Earned By Those Enlisted
Saves State $4,000 Monthly

More than eight thousand dollars
each month has been saved for state
Temporary Emergency Relief Com
mission through money earned by
the Delaware recruits to the Civil
ian Conservation Corps, and which
they have returned to their families
in this state. This enabled the
State Commission to reduce that
amount of direct relief which it had
been paying to the families of these
young men. The recruits had agreed
to return the major portion of the
money earned, when they enlisted in
the forestry service.
This fact became known when a
report of the money saved to the
commission through this mode, was
reported to the State Commission
at its meeting in Wilmington last
Friday, September 8.
There are 453 Delaware boys
serving in forestry camps through

ber 35 are from rural New Castle

SAY ACCIDENTS TO
YOUNGSTERS NUMEROUS
Safety Council Says Sept. Record Is
Bad For School Riddles

According to the Delaware Safety
Council two school children out of
every 1000 will be injured by acci-
dents in September, and these acci-
dents will cause each of them to
lose about three days from school.
The chances are greatest that the
accidents will occur at home or
away from home or school, as acci-
dents on school grounds or in the
buildings will not be particularly
numerous during the month.
School teachers and officials in
terested in child safety should give
special attention at the opening of
school to the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh grades, as nearly half of the
students injured in September will
be in these grades. With changes
in condition in subsequent months
other grades will stand out with
high accident records, but in the
early fall these are the grades that
should be given the most consider
alton in planning safety talks and
demonstrations.
Recent studies indicate, also, that
those who work in safety education
may profitably spend more time dis
cussing accident prevention with

walk and pinned the three women
against the front of the store. Mr..
Johnson had been accustomed to
driving a Model T Ford and he for
got that he had left his new car,
Model A Ford, in gear.

$16,448,452 the previous fiscal year.
The bureau reported income taxes
collected in the state were $11,511,-

sition of many new miscellaneous
taxes, total tax collections from
these sources also were lower-$1,-

The legalization of 32 per cent
beer brought the Federal govern
ment $500 in in revenue from Del
aware up to June 80. This was col
lected from wholesale and retail
dealer licenses. Nothing was re-
ceived from the brewers fees or the

included collections of the last two

calendar year 1881, before the new
and higher rates became effective.
