YOUR DOLLARS WORTH

Take a dollar out of your pocket,
like with it, But you can't buy a
dollars worth Of commodities or
services.
The reason for that is that about
25 per cent of your dollar has to go
to government. If you use 1t to buy
theatre tickets, gasoline, cigarettes,
electricity, clothing or anything else.
25 per cent of the cost, on the aver
age, will represent taxes.
The main reason we have allowed
the tax problem to grow so grave
in this country Is that millions of
people haven't realized that such
problem exists! These are the peo-
pie who pay no taxes directly. Their
incomes are below the level touched
by the income tax. They rent homes.
They do not own n business, but
work for someone else. And the re-
suit is a belief that those who own
businesses, have larger income, and
possess property pay all the taxes.
There aren't enough large-incOme
people in the country to make a
dent in meeting the cost Of govern
ment. The great bulk Of taxes are
taken from the ordinary person
and they are taken indirectly. In
stead of writing the tax-collector a
check, most of our citizens pay their
taxes unknOwingly during the course
of daily living. Rent is higher than
it would be, because the landlord
must pay taxes. Salaries are small
er, because the employer is heavily
taxed. Food is more costly because
the farmer. the professor, the trans
porter and the final seller are all
taxed. So it goes. through every
thing we need and use.
Don't be fooled Everyone pays
is in danger of be-
ing forced to pay more. A reduction
in taxation through less tax spend
ing is essential.

The snake dance, squaw dance,
bear dance, joy dance, skeleton
dance, and spirit dance are among
the many dances of the Indians. He
explained that in the skeleton dance.
most ably executed by the Wolf
clan, the flesh was taken from the
bones of one who had just died, the
bones were dried and after twelve
days were taken out and placed in
buck skin. During the dance which
was put on" on the twelfth day the
bones were shaken, as 'the soul
iourneyed on to the Happy Hunting

APPEAL FOR NEEDY CHILDREN

The Delaware Children's Home
Society, the oldest children's society
in the State of Delaware, has done
and is doing a tremendous work
with the under-privileged children
throughout the State. Those who are
not in touch with the work of this
society have no idea of the vast
amount of work being done, in its
efforts to protect children, through
out the State, against wrongs, in
flicted upon them by unworthy par
rnts and others having them in
charge.
The appeal by needy children can
not and must not be ignored. The
good people of Delaware do not
shirk their duty, when it is recOg-
niZed. Al present this society mas a
number of splendid children that
are just waiting for some kind per-
son to take them into their home
and claim them as their very own.
by getting in touch with this society
aud taking a dear boy or girl many
homes have been made happy and
many a child has grown to be a
worth while citizen, instead of an
encumbrance to the State of Della
ware.
Some of the children to be placed
at the present time are as follows:
A girl, Is years of age, who is
anxious to be placed in home
where there are little ones, that she
might be able to assist in caring for
them.
A girl, ~ years of age, who wants
a home, on a farm, where there are
other girls.
Two sisters. one years and the
other years of age.
A girl, 512 years Of age.
Two brothers, one years and the
other 6 years of age.
These are only few of the many
attractive and intelligent children
that are listed at this time with the
Delaware Children's Home Society.
If interested in helping make the
lives of these children worth while,
get in touch with Mrs. Thomas n.

aware Children's Home Society,

THE AVERAGE MAN
No is the average American2

Who is the average American?
The question was raised recently
by President Roosevelt in his Green
Bay speech. Those who would
measure confidence in this country
in the future" he said on that oc-
casion, must first look to the aver
age citizen"
II has remained for the economist
of a downtown firm to look into the
statistics and tell us what manner
of person this average citizen" ac-
tually is... He appears to be not
at all the dissatisfied anti-capitalist.
..... He is a person who is gain
fully employed the greater part of
the time. Outside of the larger
cities every second average man
owns his own home. The average
family has an automobile. Eight or
ten million average citizens own
stocks or bonds. and as depositors
in our banks and holders of insur-
ance policies sfour or five times that
number are indirect holders of Sc
curities.
"rhe average man." concludes the
author of this little statistical stu
dy. "is a capitalist He has no pa
thence with socialism or cOmmun-
ism as he understands these philO-
sophies. though recently he has
been taking doses Of both under
misleading labels"

these simple facts in mind.

THE YEARS AHEAD

The primary ambition of all men
is to assure adequate economic pro-
lection for themselves and their de-
pendents in the future.
OF the many who aspire to that,
few achieve il. An overwhelming
percentage of men become penniless
dependents in old age, and must De
sustained by relatives or organized
charity Many such men were once
wealthy. Many more once held good
Jobs, which provided substantial
surpluses above the income neces-
sary for livelihood. Many managed
To build up siZeable estates. only to
see them swept away by one tinan-
cial cataclysm or another. That was
the case even before depression, and
during the last few years an inf
nitely greater than normal number
of people have faced the tragic
problem of approaching Old-age
without money or savings.
The aim to be followed in any
savings plan is security, rather
than proft-small dividends from
investments which offer maximum
projection 10 pTlHClpdl, are ldI net-
ter than possible large profits from
unsafe investments. Many excellent
savings plans are offered to persons
of all earning capacities-plans
which permit the investment of a
dollar Il month or Il thousand dol
lars. Life insurance, through its
various types of annuity and invest
ment policies. is one of the best, as
its fine record during the last five
trying years has demonstrated.
While businesses went under. es-
tates were dwarfed or disappeared.
and investments that once seemed
iron-clad were swept away, that in
stitution carried on as usual.
Whatever the plan, every man
should prepare for old age. Dollars
that are earned with comparative
ease today will come hard indeed
when the period of greatest produc-
tivity is over. Think of the years
ahead.

THE HIGHWAY-THE CAR
THE DRIVER

When you take your car on streets
or highways, three definite factors
are involved. First, the road. Sec
ond, the car. Third, the human ele-
ment-yourself.
Practically every automobile acci-
dent can be traced to one of these
three factors. And the third is in
finitely the more important. High
way engineers have done their part
to make driving safer-they have
given us model highways, with scien-
tifically constructed turns and the
safest of surfaces. Automobile de-
velOpment in safer bodies, brakes,
steering, lights and tires have been
nothing short of sensational.
For every accident that can be
blamed or the road or the automo-
bile. a dozen can be blamed on the
driver. 1t is an established fact that
the bulwark of accidents occur on
good, straight highways in ordinary
weather, and involve cars whose
mechanical condition is adequate
Apparently, IL a road and a car are
produced which make it safe to drive
ten miles an hour faster than in the
past, a legOin of drivers will at once
start driving twenty miles faster
and the inevitable result is a mount
ing accident toll.
The present year is Witnessing
tremendous increase in accidents
over 1933-if the trend continues
new high in fatalities may be estab-
lished. The cure is knowledge that
tells you how to drive under all con-
ditions, and sense of the RESPONSE
bility you owe to all who use the
public highways. If every motorist
would start an individual safety
campaign of his own the automobile
accident record would go into a tail
spin.
Planning your work is good, but
doing il is much better.

Time was when the brIde-to-be
bought yards and yards OF tulle, de-
pending on the magic touch OF some
good fairy who would appear at the
last moment to adjust the veil to
point or enchantment. OF course this
entailed endless worry and suspense
and more times than not ended In
keen disappointment
However, In this present day of
efficiency all this uncertainty as to the
final touch to the veil has been done
away with and new order OF pro-
cedure takes Its place. The modern
bride-to-be goes to the leading mill
linery department or her favorite shop
and asks to be shown the latest and
most fetching In bridal adornment.

salespeople will bring forth are enough
to make the eyes OF any prospective
