Public works projects totaling s4oo,-
100000 are now under way in the
States, and officials of the Public Works
Administration estimate the total will
be swelled to $500, ,0Oo.o by the middle
Of this month.
The estimates were made yesterday
after q meeting of the Public Works
Board In reply to resolution offered
at the American Federation Of Labor
Convention, which criticized delays" in
allotments and demanded either more
speed or q "shake-up" In the depart
ment.
Secretary Ickes said It could be
proved that there were no delays in the
allotment of funds by the Public Works
Administration, Of which he Is the
head.
Ickes said a great deal Of the delay
in putting to work money that has been
allotted "has been on account Of what
is claimed to be unreasonably high
wages set by the Public Works Admin
iStration."
States Also Blamed.
Another high Official Of the admins
tration attributed some Of the delay to
local politics in the communities and
States that have made applications and
to the restless interim" between the
time an allotment Is made by the Pub
lie Works Administration and when the
first money is paid out by the Treasury.
Ickes said labor interests had been
largely responsible for the wage rates
specified by the administration for
projects on which public works funds
are used. He added that one way to
cut down local delays was to cut the
wage rate. but would not say what his
attitude was on cutting wages.
1T is our duty to follow the admins
tration's policy on wage rates. One dif-
ficulty for the localities on their projects
is that they must charge their taxpayers
to repay loans on the basis Of what they
consider high wages"

DO YOU MAKE EXCUSES !
Dorothy E. Inghram

What do your children expect of
you and what do you expect of
them? Do they know that there are
certain things which you not only
expect but require of them, or do
they know you will make excuses
whenever they fail to come up. to
the standard? We all know it is a
very bad habit to procTasinate, to
make excuses for things we should
have done today, promising oursel-
yes to do them tomorrow, but is it
not still worse to make excuses for
things our children do or don't do?
Though a mother usually can find
reasons for lapses ON the part OF her
children, other people don't excuse
them but blame the mother for her
faultry training.
I have seen examples of this Of
ten in teaching music. One mother
in particular who had a large family
of children wanted two of her girls
to take piano lessons. They were
quite eager. to do this as they al
ready had piano in their home.
For the first tow or three months
the lessons were fascinating to
these girls, and they made remark
able progress, but when the new
ness of the experience began to
wear off and. the thrill subsidized,
their ambition waned. Each week
their assignments were prepared
with a little less care.
After seeing that the girls were
no longer practicing enough to make
the expense worthwhile, l spoke to
the mother. The first thing she did
was to make excuses for them. Fol-
lowing that first week of excuses
they came as regularly as did the
music lesson days. 1 was Forced,
then, to reprimand the children for
the neglect of their practice, and
they, taking the cue from their mo-
Their, added their excuses to hers.
What a pity!

by getting State projects supported
by the National Recovery Act into
operation as soon as possible.
He said that he is in favor of re-
Federal aid for the Indian River In
let project.
Governor Buck also said he has
consulted with national officials con-
corning the obtaining of 80 per cent
of the $2,500,000 on State school pro-
jects, as authorized by the last Leg
islature, and there is a possibility
Delaware may receive 80 per cent
of this appropriation.
On motion of John C. Saylor, la
I Dor leader, the meeting unanimous
/ ly requested the governor to APP
point Statewide committee to CO.
operate with the State Administra-
tor
Among other projects mentioned
in addition to those spoken of by the
governor was one by Mrs. Henry B.
Thompson, embracing a plan to en-
tirely eradicate and control mos
quitoes in the State. The project
would necessitate an expenditure of
close to a half-million dollars, Mrs.
Thompson said.
r. C. Beckett, State Sanitary En-
gineer, made the statement that for
a cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900 modern sewerage and water ia
cilities could be installed in about
dozen rapidly growing towns and
communities throughout the State.
In any instances the surveys have
already been completed and nothing
remains but securing the money and
doing the work, he said. Several
towns desiring such improvements
are handicapped in securing them
today, due to the State restrictions
upon their bonding powers. Among
the towns and communities mem
toned by Mr.. Beckett as needing
such improvements were Dover,
Georgetown, Five Points, Elsmere,
Richardson Park, Marshallton and
Bellefonte. Some of these places
he said are already at work on such
projects and need help. =
Mr.. Finkelstein read a telegram
from Col. D. H. Sawyer, Washington,
temporary administrator of the Pub
lie Works Projects. COL Sawyer in
formed the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce that it is expected that
an administrator will be appointed
for Delaware shortly and in the
meanwhile it is suggested that de-
sirable public works eligible under
the legislation be perfected as much
as possible in order to facilitate the
conclusions of the administrator at
ter taking office.
State Senator Gutenberg said
Delaware should obtain her full size
under the Recovery Act and that if
added legislation were needed, he
was sure the Legislature, if sum-
moned by the Governor, would act
favorably and speedily.

Homo Education
"The Childs First School is the FamIy"-FrOebeI
Issued by the National
New York City, These articles appearing

Then again, one never can tell
just how much of adult converse
ton child is taking in. Even when
you think your children are absorb
ed in their aniusements it is wise to
be most careful of what you say or
do. 1t is difficult, for instance, to
make a child understand that he
should not relate to neighbors all
that he sees and hears at home, yet
you can't make excuses for things
which your child tells the neighbors
concerning home affairs and expect
him to outgrow the habit later in
life. An unwarranted excuse given
for any action of your little boy or
girl may mean tears and heartaches
years later.
1t is child-like to tell things in the
most vivid manner, but the child
doesn't usually stop at that, His i'm
agination carries him beyond the
limit of the truth and all unmean-
ingly he will add a bit of imaginary
happening in order to make his
story a little more thrilling. People
will laugh at a childish tale and call
it 'cute" when they know only part
of it is true, but those same people
will look upon this child with dis
favor five, ten or fifteen years later
if he has cultivated the tattlinig and
eXaggerating habit and will say,
HE always would do it,"
Mothers, if we must make excuses
for our children let us not make
them in their presence. Better still,
let us cultivate the habit of making
few excuses for ourselves and then
we shall not be so likely to make
unmerited excuses for our children.

GOVERNOR CALLS
SENATE TO ACT
ON APPOINTEES

[COHtiHHed from FuSt Pagsl
day, after the formality of conven-
ing, will go into executive session
to consider any list of appointments
the Governor may send in.
It is also understood the Governor
will have other than judicial ap-
pointments to submit to the Senate
for confirmation. While he has made
several since the Legislature adj
journed the latter part of May, only
those named to office where the
salary is $500 or more annually have
to be confirmed by the Senate. APP
pointments to boards and commits
sions where the pay is nominal do
not require confirmation.
Among the names that will have
to go to the Senate and which prob
ably will be submitted at this spe-
cial session are those of magistrates
named since the General Assembly
adjourned. The term of Thomas
Jefferson, of Smyrna, State custo-
dian, also expires the last of June
and his success will have to be
named and confirmed by the Senate.
The term of George S. Williams,
member of the State Board of Edu-
cation expires June 80. He is also
State Treasurer. His successor will
not have to be confirmed by the
Senate because there is no salary
attached to the office other than a
nominal sum for each meeting of
the board which he attends.
Senator SimontOn said the corner
stone laying will take place Mon
day afternoon after the Senate ses-
sion had adjourned. He will get in
touch with the officials of the Grand
Lodge of Masons this morning to
advise them of the plans to have
the lodge officials at the exercises.
Senator Simonton also expects to
confer with Governor Buck about
the program and see if he has any
suggestions relative to speaker
for the occasion.
The corner stone, block of white
marble, has been resting in front OF
the new legislative building for sew
eral months. A section of the wall
on the right of the main entrance
has never been completed, leaving
an open space for the stone. The
legislative building was completed
in time for the opening of the recent
legislative session January 8.

generally and relieving the State in
carrying on its present relief work.
1t was stated that in many of the
projects contemplated in Delaware,
particularly such as housing reform,
they would be self-liquidating, and
as such would create no additional
tax burden. 1t would simply be a
case of receiving the immediate cap
ital from the government to put the
projects over. Future revenues
would be more than enough to pay
off the Indebtedness and low rate Of
interest to be set, it is estimated.
Stress was also laid by Mr.. Kink-
elstein, GaFrish Gassaway, manager
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
others on the fact that the National
Industrial Recovery Act does not
limit the request for aid to large
units such as counties or States, but
goes further and opens the doorway
to the smallest town and commun-
ity In view of this it was Impress
ed upon the various municipal Off
GERS and Mayors present that it is
mediately appoint their own local
committees to work out plans for
local public work projects and get
these before the State Administra-
tor.
The Act in this connection reads:
1.-THE President, in his discretion,
and under such terms as he may
prescribe, may extend and of the
benefits of this title to any state,
county, or municipality notwith-
standing any constitutional or legal
restriction or limitation on the right
or power of such state,s county, or
municipality to borrow money or in
cur Indebtedness"
That the communities and cities
of the state can afford to participate
in the Act can be seen, it was en-
phasized, from the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is empowered to
grant without charge up to 80 per
cent of the cost of project and to
loan the remaining 20 per cent on
long time basis with small interest
charges, to be set by the President.
Governor Buck in his address said
lie mad sent 10 WdSninBtOH loE al
available information on public work
features of the act and that his in
formation was not yet complete but
he had learned several interesting
things.
He informed the meeting that
State, municipalities, towns and
other organized communities will not
be able to secure. Federal aid mere
" for the asking. He explained that
application for aid will entail an
investigation and necessary con-
firmation before the aid is secured.
Hesaid that he is in favor of re-
ducing as soon as possible and as
much as possible the payroll of the
