HISTORIC CENTERPIECE
USED AT DODGE DINNER
Decoration Often Admired by
Mount Vernon Superintendent
Lent by Miss Daingerfeld.

A historic centerpiece, of priced as
Sociation, graced the table at the
dinner given Saturday night in honor
of Col. Harrison H. Dodge, superin-
tendent of Mount Vernon.
An heirloom now in possession of
Miss Mary Daingerfield of Alexandria,
the piece-three tiers of cut glass,
three feet in height-has always been
greatly admired by Col. Dodge, and
it was because of this, that it was
used in the decorative scheme.
The base, cracked in the Civil War,
was surrounded with Southern smilax
and bright colored grapes, while the
top was surmounted with vase of
red roses.
The centerpiece came originally
from Belvedera, the old family home,
and was used when John Bathurst
Daingerfield, grandfather of the pres
ent owner, entertained Gen. Lee.

PIERCING THE HEAVENS

What hitherto concealed secrets
will be relieved to the mind of man,
by the enormous new telescope, for
the mirror of which 200 tons of
melted glass has just been poured
at Corning. New York? The tele-
scope which is to be constructed
with this mirror will reach so far
it is hoped. as to discover stars so
extremely remote that it takes l.
900. .000,0O0 years for the light of
these stars to travel to the earth.
We read in the works of the
astronomers that there are 100000
O00, 900 suns. Our own earth seems
very big sort of thing to anyone
who ever tried TO travel around ii.
But that earth is like a speck of
dust floating in a ray of light as
compared with the unutterable vast
ness of the universe.
Now il is hoped 10 penetrate with
this new telescope, much farther in
to this mspeakable vastness. This
powerful aid to mans vision may
REGAL more about the planets of our
solar system. and throw light on
the question whether any of them
are inhabited by beings like the hu-
man race.
Ii is not strange that the Hebrew |
psalmist, viewing the vast universe, |
should write:
When | consider thy heavens.
the work OF thy fingers.
The moon and the stars which
thou has ordained.
What is man that thou art
mindful of him,
And the son of man that thou
yisitest him?"
And yet little man, who is but
he most infnitesimal insect as com
pared with this immeasurable uni
verse, has a mind capable of con
these marvellous instru-
nents that can see and measure all
his universe. Mind is greater than
lead matter The mind that can
plan and construct is greater than
20. .00d. 900 0O0 suns that have no
life.

SENATE "BLUE BOOK" SHOWS u.
so MAIL GRAFT 100 YEARS AGO

Senator Black. whose committee
uncovered the recent air-mail con-
tract frauds, has a Congressional
blue book" published exactly 100
years ago, showing similar condi-
tions surrounding coach-line and
steamboat mail contracts in those
days The following quotation from
the book is published here in the
current issue of The Review Of Re-
views:
THE individuals who hold eXtrav-
agant private contracts, and who re-
ceive extra allowances which eX-
haust the revenues of whole states,
are the same who lend their credit
to keep up the credit of the post
office department. who furnish funds
to pay off the debts and relieve the
embarrassments of its chief officers,
who advance large sums 10 enable
another of its officers TO purchase
real estate at a reduced price, and
who send presents. of choice wines
to furnish the tables of both"
The blue book says that these
practices tend to establish an obi
Gus and oppressive monopoly. and
are an unjust invasion of private
rights"

THE BIRD CHOIR

Perhaps the sweetest feature of
spring, is the chorus of bird voices,
singing their serenades. and per
forming their symphonies about our
homes. 1t is difficult to feel that
the world is wholly wrong, when we
hear these anthems of praise.
If you go out down hearted be-
cause life has been severe on your
hopes, listen to that little songster
as he pOurs forth his hymn of joy.
1t has a suggestion that the world
is full of beauty of which we are
not ordinarily conscious. and that
il we seek the true sources of hap
piness. we can always find them.
There is a quality in that little
bird throat that no human voice nor
any instrument manufactured by the
skill of man ever attains. 1t has a
purity of intOnation and brilliancy
of vocal color not found elsewhere.
II tells us that the world is a good
place to live in, and that there is a
comfort for every sorrow, and al
ways a door of hope.

TNDERFED CHILDREN

Children who don't get enough
food to make them healthy, or who
don't get the right kind of food,
constitute one of the tragedies of
recent years. A considerable pro-
portion of the young people are
coming up thus deficient in bone
and blood and muscle.
This condition exists even in many
rural localities Recent figures from
Vermont show II per cent of the
grade school children thus suffering
from malnutritiOn. Vermont is one
of the most rural states in the cOun-
try, where people live close to the
farms where there should be enough
to eat If conditions are such in
country community. they must. be
much worse in many congested
neighbOrhOods
Not all the responsibility for such
lack of nOurishment can be placed
on the depression Many house
wives do not understand how to
cook food so it will be nOurishing.
or how to select food so as to keep
their families healthy. Many par
ents will give the children anything
they want to keep them quiet. But
they cant live on cake, cookies, and
pie. and they should be told that
the best tasting stuff does not al
ways produce the best ball players.
Free distribution OF milk by
schools To needy children, is one OF
the methods by which many gen.
erOus communities have helped give
such young people chance. Yon
can't expect a hungry child to get
much education. If his stomach is
on strike as the result of insult
ficient food. or the poor stuff given |
him at home. he has no heart for |
study, the printed page of his text
book seems an insOluble enigma. |
he may become problem child.
perhaps u lawiess one, who will
steal anything in sight to fill his
hungry little crop. The trouble
such ones make costs more than the
food that is needed to put some life
into Il feeble body.

HOME REPAIRS

A congressional delegation has
just called on President Roosevelt
to advocate government loans for
construction and repair of small
homes. and the President seems to
sympathize with their proposal.
Is home owner justified in bOr-
rowing money to repair and modern
ize his home? Some people tell
such owners to keep out of debt.
But il home lacks modern facili-
ties. or if it is in run down con-
dition. the owner will have to sell it
for a low price If lie wants to dis
pose of IT, If he could borrow
money 10 put ii in good condition,
and make regular payments every
year on that loan. he constantly
adds to the value of his savings.

RICKETY FENCES

Nothing does more to make a home
place look ION the blink" than a
rickety fence. Either a fence should
be kept in good condition, or it
should be torn down. and a new one
put in its place. or the owner should
get along without any fence.
A fence that leans over sideways
and looks as if it would collapse, is
enough to make a place look dilap-
idated. A fence that has not been
painted since the year l is equally
blot on the landscape. ANY place
can be enormously improved just by
tinkering and painting its fences,
so they look as il the owners had
a property to which they attached
some value.

any President is subject.
One moment he receives a delega-
tion telling him that the country
will be ruined unless a certain pol
icy is adopted Half an hour later
delegation calls to tell him
thar that same policy threatens the
most crushing disaster. The con
fict of factions and parties. the
clamor of hungry office seekers. are
enough to make AN ordinary man
crazy. ANY President ought to have

EARNING EDUCATION

A large proportion of the college
students of Delaware and other
states. earn part or all the money
for their education. A considerable
number pay all EXPENSES. II is said
too many young people go to col
lege. But ii hoy or girl is so
Keen for education that he or she is
willing to work for it. ii is u good
sign that that youngster will profit
by the experience
The road has been fairly rough
for student workers during recent
years. In flush times people hired
many services done. but now most
of them are planting their own gar
dens, tending their Own furnices,
moving their own lawns. But the
ingenuity Of these versatile young
folks uncOyers many new oppOr-
tunities.
At Harvard College. for instance,
~ pCl ttHl vi llt SluuentS are
earning money, and among them are
those who are willing TO tend babies.
exercise dogs, cook meals, wash
windows. etc. If boy really wants
education, he will not ask if Job
will soil his cuffs and get his hands
blistered.
Some people think the boys and
girls who thus earn their way find
their time so occupied that they do
not get the full benefit of the train
ing. They may miss the social
palavers where young people learn
to shine in society. But they ac-
quire the habit of work, they see
sides of life not revealed at the par
ties and the games. You can bank
ON them to make good.
When a student pays out the
money that he earned himself for
he is going TO get the
worth of his money. You won't find
him playing smart tricks on the pro-
lessor. and regarding himself as
,lever if he slips by without knowing
what he studied.
