months later. BY that time the chill
dren were in school and a satisfac-
tory excuse for their not visiting the
teasing relatives could be given.
Sensitive children are often fright
ened by teasing more than adults
suspect. There goes Mr.. Hudson" !"
said little girl recently. shrinking
behind her mother. l don't like him!
He rubs his face all over mine and
says he is going to take me home to
be his little girl"
The mothers eyes were suddenly
opened, and she never again took
her timid little child to Mr.. Hud-
sons home.
Parents should see that their chill
dren are treated considerably and
cOurteOusly by relatives and friends.
1t does no good to exhort children
mot to be silly" when they are
frightened by rough attentions or
the joking threat of being carried
away to another home, or by having
someone pretend to take their play
things fro mthem. A little planning
will protect the babies, and even
older children should not be sub
jected to much teasing.
A child should be taught to be a
good sport" to laugh good humor-
edly when the joke is on himself.
But the boy or girl who is constant
ly teased is not likely to develop
this attitude. If he is not timid he
is apt to become ill-mannered, and,
from example, laugh will be en-
joyable to him only when it is on
the other person. 1t is a safeguard
to character as well as disposition
when thoughtless teasing is avoided.

DEMOCRATIC RIFT
IS NOW SETTLED
[Continned from First Page1


The four Delawareans refused to
say anything on emerging from
O'Mahoney's office. 1t was learned
that Biggs, Tunnel and Mrs. Bod
ziak expressed their disapproval at
the meeting of the publicity the fac
tional strife has received.
The appearance of the four walk
ing out of the office together was in
contrast to an episode which occur
red three months ago in Farley's
office.
On that occasion, Adams called at
the office and Unexpectedly came
upon Biggs, Tunnel and Mrs. Bod
ziak. That night he issued a state
ment saying they had come to Wash
ington in an effort to get Farley to
ignore his recommendations.
From that time until Mondays
conference, the rift between the two
factions has been aired widely. 1t
was reported that anti-Adams fac
ton was planning to support Mrs.
Bodziak as a primary opponent of
Adams for Congress next year.
Two weeks ago Adams presented
to Farley petitions bearing the sig
natures of a majority of the mem
bers of the State Central Commit
tee and the three County Commit
tees asking that he be recognized
as patronage dispenser for the State.
Last week, as it became apparent
the administration was Withholding
appointments in Delaware because
of the dispute, Adams suggested the
State Committee and County Com
mittees select the candidates to be

ROOSEVELT CALLS
NATION TO QUICK
ATTACK ON SLUMP
[Conlinred from FIrr Paael

Continued from FIST fageI
since his Inauguration, the Presi-
dent analyzed the full program
which Congress gave him the pow
er to carry through.
He said the credit of the nation
had been maintained by balancing
the budget. The credit of the indi-
vidual, he said, was being maintain
ed by restoring the purchasing pow
er of the dollar and by the home
loan act, the farm loan act and the
bankruptcy act.
He assured there would be no
Smell of the pork barrel" In ad-
ministration of the $3,0O0,OOO,OOO
public works program.
Turning to the task of building
more lasting prosperity" he said
1--WE cannot attain that in a nation
half boom and half broke"
Two things, he declared, must be
done to find better days. First, i'm
provement of the prices of farm
products; second, bring back in
dustry along sound lines"
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed conf-
dence that farm conditions were i'm
proving and would continue so un-
der operation of the farm act.
He then went into his appeal for
wholehearted support for the ma
tional plan for shorter working
hours and higher wages.
Hugh S. Johnson, administrator
of the industrial recovery act, was
in the room in the White House
with the President as he spoke.
Talking picture cameras lined the
side of the oval room on the White
House ground floor to record the
scene.
Mr.. Roosevelt directed his appeal
particularly to the smaller employ
ers, and said the great task depend
ed upon these men who are in po-
sition to hire from one to ten more
workers each.
"It will be clear to you" he said,
"as it is to me, that while the shirk-
ing employers may undersen MS
competitor, the saving he thus
makes is made at the expense OF his
eountry's welfare"
eve are not going through an
other winter like the last" he as
serted. "It is time for courageous
action and the recovery bills gives
us the means to conquer unemploy-
ment with exactly the same weapon
that we have used to strike down
child labor"
President Roosevelt called upon
employers who enroll in the nation
al recovery campaign to display the
badge of honor"-insignia of the
Industrial Recovery Act.
"In war, in the gloom Of night at
tack" he said. soldiers wore
bright badge on their shoulders to
be sure that comrades do not fire
on comrades.
"On that principle. those who CO.
operate in this program must know
each other at a glance.
"That is why we have provided
badge of honor for this purpose,
simple design with a legend We do
our part and 1 ask that all those
who Join with me shall display that
badge prominently. 1t is essential to
our purpose"

SOMETHING TO SAY
with Apologies To J. w. Riley

Somethin' to say, my daughter ?
Well, you bet, I've somethin' to
say!
Some fathers might let things take
their course. but your dad amt
built that way.
Yer see, work for livin' now, and
/ earn enough for two;
But I'll be gol darned if I'm goin'
to feed another along with you.
If you wanted to marry a decent
man, who was earnin's decent
pay,
Most likely I'd tell you to go ahead,
and hurry and set the day;
But 1 know the worthless dude you
want, and l know his little lay.
Something to say, my daughter?
Well, you bet, I've somethin' to
say!
Now don't be cryin'. daughter. and
don't feel hard at me-
You'd know you'd better be single,
if only you could see;
But to think of you marryin' such a
man as lazy, young Dandy jim
Though f he knew enough to earn
his salt, don't knows I'd object
to him.
1t isn't him at all you say; but the
old man millionaire?
Why, child, you make your father
proud; just let me kiss you
therei
And you want me to ali my blessing.
and come to the house and stay?
Well, L guess you can manage your
own machine, and 1 amt got
nothin' to say.

Present. Max Cohen was the speak
er for the affirmative and r. A. Der
ricksOn was the speaker for the
negative.
The question arose. several weeks
ago when Council decided to change
the parking system ON Walnut
street. Council empowered City
Manager Banning to work out and
put into effect a working system
that would allow parking on both
sides of the main street, parallel to
TIE sidewalk. When some of the
merchants heard of the plan they
got up petition to present to Coun-
Gil asking them to retain the pres
ent system which allows parking
only on the west side. Later, others
drew up a petition asking Council
to change the present system and Ell
ther allow parking on both sides or
allow parking only on one side but
to alternate. first allowing it on the
east side and then ON the west side.
They suggested a six months per-
iod. Hence, the debate on Monday.

claimed that the merchants on the
east side of Walnut street were los
ing business because of the parking
restrictions on that side of the
street and that it was only fair to
either permit parking on both sides
of the street or to alternate the
parking, first for period of time on
cir nf ha e.tV for
a like period of time on the other.
Mr. Cohen, speaking for the affir-
native, stated that the merchants on
the east side of the street were los
ing no business on account of park
ing restrictions; there are only two
classes of shoppers, namely; the
first class have their favorite stores
and they go to these stores, regard
less of where they park their cars;
the second class go to practically
all the stores and compare prices
and qualities before they buy. He
also claimed that the parking ac-
commodations were not adequate at
the present and if they were chang
ed there would be less room for
parking. AS a third argument Mr..
Cohen stated that a change would
be very confusing to Out-of-town
shoppers and at the present time
nothing should be done to irritate
them.
Roscoe Galloway, president of the
Rotary Club, declined to ask for
action as to the favor of the mem
bers of the club because he thought
that it was something that the club
should not have hand in.
John MacFadden of the Dover Ro-
tary Club and Rev. William S. Ir-
win, pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian Church of this city. were guests
at the meeting. Rev. Irwin will be-
come a member of the Rotary Club

Some folks are ashamed and apollo

For the things they do not own,
For the lack of those conveniences
Their visitors have known,
But it's not the kind of heat you
have
Or your new electric comb.
It's the people who live in that

That make the place a home.
It's you we come to visit with,
Not your rugs and chairs,
Household stuff is bought and sold
Almost anywhere,
But the fellowship of kindred souls
Is gold that must be mined,
And, through the heat of passing
years
Cherished and refined.
What do we care if your 'lectric
lights
Are run on kerosene,
Or the "rig" you use for goin' to
town
Doesn't fuel on gasoline?
It's not your rooms we come to see,
Nor yet your out-of-doors,
We come to visit with the folks
That we call you and yours.
Don't KNOCK" the things around
your house.
Don't rate your home so low
Because your things can't quite
