RESTRICTION OF PRODUCTION

Forecasts are made at Washing
ton that the NRA will not attempt
to introduce the principle OF. limit
ing production into any more in
dustrial codes. What it wall do
about such limitations in codes al
ready existing is still a problem.
But the idea OF holding down pro-
duction is not as popular as itwas.
II people who Wish to expand
production are prevented from do
ing so by some public authority.
people who might otherwise find
jobs are prevented from getting
them. There is OF course always a
danger that factories may produce
too many goods, and thereby run out
OF work. But any factory manage
nient hates to have unsold goods on
hand. Its fears OF getting into that
difficulty create a barrier to excess
sive production.

TRAIN TOMORROW'S
DRIVERS TODAY!

High schools throughout the
country are being called upon by
leading educators to enact major
role in solving the automobile acci-
dent problem. Theirs is the task, il
is said, to put more careful and
competent generation of motor car
drivers on the streets and highways
by making instructions in safe driv-
ing a credited part of the regular
scholastic curriculum.
AS a, contribution to this cause,
and to give the schools definite tools
with which to work, the Education
Division of the National Safety
Council in New York City has pre-
pared a textbook on the subject
called: Good Driving-A Manual
for the High Schools" The book
was prepared under the direction of
a secondary school committee con-
sisting of such men as DR.. Thomas
Gosling, Director of the Junior Red
Cross; Frincas L. Bacon, principal
Of the Evanston, ILL.,, Township High
School; Prof E. X. Fretwell of Col
lmbia, and Prof. Robbins B. Stoeck-
ell of Yale.
In brief, the manual attempts to
describe what an automobile is and
how to operate it. It is illustrated
with charts and photographs and
contains a list of reference mater
ial for those who wish to develop
special topics. Six units of instruc-
ton are outlined: Automobile in
modern life, the automobile, the dri-
yer, the operation of an automobile
on the highway, accidents, and acci-
dent prevention.
The importance of this work is
emphasized by the fact that in some
states there is no law to prevent a
child from stepping from the tiller
Of his kiddie car to the wheel of a
high powered automobile. In no
state is there any legal provision re-
curing pre-license instruction. Last
year automobiles. killed nearly 30,-
900 persons.
The opportunity for high schools
to perform an invaluable service to
humanity could hardly be greater.

THE FESTIVAL OF Y0uTH

Football is a festival OF youth. Or
these occasions, young MANHOOD
comes forth in all its pride OF mus
cular power and alert wit. and shows
what can be done by powerful bodies
trained muscles, and strategic or.
ganization. The players throw
themselves into this somewhat rough
game with defiance of all physical
risks, so that it seems a little like
body of soldiers going out to cap
ture a trench. The applauding
crowds cheer it as an exhibition of
gritty courage and physical and
mental power.
The young feminine world ex-
presses by IFS fervent cheers, the
admiration which the sex feels for
strength and power. The bright
clothing Of the young women, the
cheerful music of the school and
college bands, make a picture and a
symphony of color and sound. Such
game becomes a supreme express
sion of American enthusiasm and
happiness and hero worship.
The sober philosopher, digging in
to the worlds wisdom in his library,
wishes that all this energy and emo
tion could be translated into some
more practical effort, :"If they
would only show the same eagerness
in learning their lessons of truth
and science. or in abolishing the
evils that plague the, country" he
remarks, what a noble
state Of society we should have!"
But we can't put the wisdom of
30 years into the heart OF 20. II the
young folks had all the sageness of
age. they would probably be satis-
led to accept the world as it is, and
let it wag on its weary way in the
I'D rut.
Let us be glad that youth is so
lappy at its own football festival,
md thankful that it is paying its
ldoration to real and honest achieve
nent, instead of to the false pre-
enses and. sickly vices to- which
'outh is constantly tempted.

CHESTS OF THE TOWN

People who come into a town to
trade, are the guests Of that COM
munity. There should be convenient
and adequate places for them to
park their cars. They should be
given the same warm welcome. that
valued friends have when entertain
ed in our homes.
Also those who are the guests Of
the town should behave like real
guests. Most of them do SO in Mil
ford. Delaware. But some seem TO
think that parking regulations are
a kind OF joke. If they see a chance
to violate some rule about automo-
bile driving, they often do SO il no
officer is looking. Such ones should
not be surprised IL that kind of guest
behavior does not meet with favor.

CONTROL OF PREDICTION

The wise men at Washington are
reorganizing the N. R. A, and other
emergency units. Shall the govern
ment continue to compensate farm
ers for reducing production of vari-
GUS staples? To many people. it
seems contrary to nature, when there
is a shortage of food in the cities,
to see the government encouraging
the farmers to produce less of these
staples which are so much needed
by millions of people.
Yet the previous action OF the
farmers in producing more crops
than could be sold for a fair price,
helped break the country's back.
The manufacturer handles such sit
uations by refusing to produce goods
unless they are ordered. But the
farmer will never be able to work
on orders. He will have to estimate
the needs of the market as best hh
can, and if the farmers produce col
lectively more than can be sold, low
prices will be the penalty.

DOBBIN. FRIEND TO MAN

Farmers are buying more horses,
according to the president of the
American Veterinary Medical Asso-
c!ation. The horse has suffered
some eclipse of popularity. but he
has strong points. For one thing,
he can find his way home on a dark
night. even if the driver can't see,
or isn't in condition to do so. That
however, is not the reason why
farmers are buying more horses.
Old Dobbin, as he faithfully served
the family for many years. perform
ed many sided function. He pulled
the plough through the farmers
field, then next day you hitched him
up TO drive to town. II took a long
time to get into Main street. accord
ing to modern ideas. but he got
there just the same.
The farmer also figures that by
raising colts he will add to his in
come. and the fertilizer he gets also
helps out. The general purpose
horse is bringing more money in
New York than 1t has in 10 years
past.
Countless people have always re-
garded horses as pets. and the
noblest friends tn man of the animal
world. The dog perhaps has excited
more sentiment, but he performs
no economic service. He wags his
tail, and nestles his nose in your
hands, and his affection touches you
deeply. But Dobbin goes farther
than that. He tolls over the. dusty
roads in summer until the sweat
pours out of his hair. He carries
your burdens for you. and relieves
man of his most arduous toll. And
he never utters a word of protest.
All he asks in return for this will
ing service is kind care. enough food
and water to keep him in health, a
warm barn to sleep in, and a blan-
ket to cover him when left outside
In the cold. The willing service and
hard labor which the. horse gives
to the human race, has a wonder
full quuality of devotion.

MOTORING FATIGUE

An investigation of motoring IA
tigue, as it affects the driving ca
pacity of automobile operators, hai
been completed by DR.. A. H. Ryan
a noted Chicago psychologist. Hi
report will throw light on how fai
our terrible record of automobile
accidents is due to fatigue OF driv-
ers.
People drive much longer distan-
ces than formerly. When motoring
began, 100 miles a day was consid-
cred fairly good stunt. Now many
drivers will reel of that century OF
miles before the morning is half
over. Can they drive as safely and
surely at the end of a 400 or 500
mile run, as they did when the
morning sun was cheering them on?
Probably not.
A good many drivers feel drowsy
during a long run, and must con-
sistently struggle to keep them
selves awake. A driver who must
constantly be prying his eyelids
open has no business on the road.
But it seems probable that the
great majority of accidents are not
due to fatigue of long distance runs.
They are due primarily to impa-
thence, a desire to get to some short
distance in a hurry. A driver is
often seen passing some car, and
then stopping only few rods ahead.
He was so eager to get there. that
he could not bear the thought OF a
half minute Of delay.
Excitable and poorly controlled
people are the chief cause of acci-
dents. They may run into trouble
while doing errands around their
nome town. as well as on a long
distance trip. People who are hur-
wing to their homes after a days
work are probably somewhat ia
igued, so they do not give as good
ttention as they ordinarily would.
But lack of self control. the spirit
+ hurry. and nervous impatience are
responsible for the
laughter that makes our highways
laces OF peril.

ARMISTICE DAY

What thoughts come to us on the
10th anniversary of that fateful day
when the enemies of America laid
down their arms on the fields of
France, and the haggard armies on
the western front could once more
hear the birds sing, while the boom
ing of cannon and the shrek of
shrapnel no longer told of mans
hatred and despairs?
That day marked one of the finest
episodes of American history. OF
course it would seem now as if many
ideas cherished during the war Pc
riod were wrong. People see things
in distorted light in the anguish of
a war. But it was a sincere effort
just the same. Sincerity is always

WOULD you TRY TO
EXTINGUISH A MATCH
IN SOLIN

Z 1t is well-known fact that a
flaming match can sometimes be ex-
tinguished by plunging it in gaso-
line-but few of us would try the
trick. In most cases. the gasoline
fumes above the liquid would ex-
plode and obsequies might be said
for the match-holder.
y IT is likewise true that, no matter
how careless we may be in regard
to fire hazards. there is still a good
chance we might not sustain fire.
And millions of us willfully run the
risk. Inasmuch as there is only one
chance in a hundred or so of our
property being destroyed, we let
hazards continue to increase. When
we do that we belong in exactly the
same category as one who tries to
extinguish match In gasoline. The
difference is simply one of degree,
not Of classification.

to pity overtaxed European coun-
tries, in the belief that we were
escaping their experience. Today,
with the cost of all forms of gov
ernment soaring in the face Of dim
inishing taxable assets and earnings,
we are very close to the European
level. Recently England, one Of the
heaviest taxed countries, enjoyed a
general tax reduction, made in the
interest of industrial recovery. The
United States. unhappily, has no
such prospect.
A great part OF the tax money
does nothing to encourage industry

projects and experiments which dis

UNUTHIZED ASSETS

Every community. including MIL

assets. 1t has values and possi-
bilities which could have been made
use of, but were not, because there
vas no sufficient effort to develop

entitled to honor, even il some Oi
its detectives do not look so desir-
able in the after light.
The American people set out to
accomplish great objectives in that
war. They thought they were max
ing the world safe for democracy,
and il they failed to do so, it was
not their fault.
America has reason for pride in
the thorough job that was done, so
far as our people were concerned.
They threw themselves into that war
fervor with unstinted devotion. Some
OF course hung back and refused to
do their part. But in the main, peo-
PIE worked untiringly, they toiled
end struggled, and suffered and de-
MED themselves, that the boys at
the front might be supported and
cheered on. And the boys at the
front showed a heroism and self
sacrifice and power that won the
plaudits of the world.
Our people poured out money Law
ishly, without question. They sub
mitted to disagreeable restrictions.
They bore in silence the griefs that
the war brought. 1t was a great dis
play of national unity. If we could
but recover more of that spirit now,
more of that willingness TO toll and
deny ourselves for the benefit of the
country. the problems that perplex
us now would seem rather trifiing.

THE ELECTIONS in Delaware
are thing of the past Victors and
vanquished are again settling down
into their routine mode of living;
and work interrupted during the
heat of the campaign is being re-
newed. There have been disap-
pointments for many; for others
happy results, Now is not the time
for gloating on the part of the win
ners, or OF yindictivcneSs ON the
part of the losers. Under the Amer
lean system of government some
person has 10 win, and someone
must lose. In losing. many of the
men Just defeated have shown their
sterling qualities. and through ac-
cepting the result without bitter
ness have made new friends. The
winners. naturally. are happy over
their newly found duties but in /
their hour Of supremacy, they, too, |
should consider that the next time ,
they may be the underdog; and with .
this knowledge before them they
should accept the result with Il feel
ing of humility The elections are
over. Let's forget them.

CONSISTENTLY during the po-

voters to consider well their vote
before they cast it-especially as it
would affect the State and Legisla-
tive branch of the State Govern
ment. The result of Tuesdays bal
loting would seem TO indicate that
the majority of the State voters
agreed with the Chronicle.
For the first time in several years

late last summer met in conference

the groundwork for Il concerted

Government in Delaware. Two years
agO SUSSEX County gave a Demo-
cratic majority of $500 for their
State ticket. and county ticket, and
sent nine members to the House OF
Representatives. This week the Re
publicans Won the county by an av-
eraee maiOitry of approximately
2500. sweeping into office their coun-
" ticket and Clcctins eight mem
hers 10 the House Of Representa-
tives. 4 little simple arithmetic
shows that had the Democrats main
taned their majorities in Sussex
County. approximately 5000 votes
would have been taken from the
state Republican majorities. The
harmony plan was more far reach
ing than Sussex County. however,
and many districts in Kent and New
Castle Counties were affected by the
agreement. Without question the to-
tails in these two counties would
have been more than 1000 less had
the agreement not been made-a and
had this have happened. Delaware
would have been found in the DEM
ucratic column. But the Republican
leaders used good political sense
last summer, and Delaware remains
one of the two States in the Union
which have held complete political
control for the Republican party.
