FAITH In THE WORLD

A famous college president told
his graduates a few days ago. to face
the world without fear, and he point
ed out the harmful effect which fear
has on the human mind.
The college graduates are not the
only ones who need that advice. Here
in Milford, and everywhere else. are
people whose normal actions are be-
ing hampered by their apprehen-
siOns of the future. II everybody in
our country could wake up tomOr-
row morning. with a confident be-
lief that the long depression is over
at last. and that we now face a Pc
riOd. of great prosperity. the country
would see a most amazing advance
in a very short time.
People would proceed to buy the
things they are greatly in need of, a
building boom would start to make
up the shortage of homes, people
would buy labor saving equipment
and other things, money would come
out of hiding, and the transformation
would be something amazing.
Some people get the notion that
there may be some great revolution
ary convulsion ahead. or that pOpu-
lar unrest will lead to wild and fam
tastic action that will reduce the
country to pTostration.
The American people have a sober
common sense that tells them TO
keep their feet on the ground and |
their heads out of the clouds. Their
sense of humor makes them laugh |
when some enthusiast goes too far
up in the air.
We need not fear that our people
are going to stray from the main
road and get lost in swamps and
.hickets. II they temporarily get
lstray, they have a sense Of direc-
ion that will soon take them back.
Those who lack the faith in their
capacity to do this lack the courage
hat built up this country, and such
mes will hardly be able to share
argely in future prosperity. Il

UNITED EFFORT

Suppose you have so people in a
community who would like to see
some special project or development
accomplished. Suppose those so
people merely mention the matter
individually as they meet others.
Some sentiment in favor of such an
objective is created. But there is no
greater result. The people who favor
that idea usually forget about 1t af-
tel a time, when nothing is done to
realize their idea.
But if those 50 people form an or
ganization 10 push that idea, or IL
they work for it through an existing
organization, results are ten times
more likely to come. The organiza-
tion will naturally appoint some
committee to work in favor of the
idea. Business men. politicians, and
social leaders listen to an organized
movement, the idea gains converts
II the pushing is systematically con-
tinued, and the idea is practical #
can be put through to success. United
effort does it.

NEW DESIRES

Advertising makes people discon-
tented with Inconvenience, discOm-
fort, disease, and insecurity. said C.
H. Long, president of the Advertis-
ing Federation of America. He spoke
as an illustration of how advertising
had led to the demand for air con-
ditiOned trains.
Some folks think that people have
too many wants for new things, and
should be cOntented to live in the
same old way their fathers did. But
if they had followed that plan, we
should still be travelling in stage
coaches, and automobiles and rail-
roads would never have been invent
ed. New wants create progress. be-
cause they give people ambition to
go out and do things, so they can
satisfy their new desires.

L0CAL PATRI0TISM

Up to the time Of the World War,
it was frequently remarked that
patriotism had died out, that people
were merely bent on pursuing their
own personal aims. But the war
came. and it was discovered that the
country was full of patriotic spirit.
II simply had to be reused.
So community like Milford has
plenty of local patriotism. but it is
latent, under the surface. and has to
be rescued. 1t is there, and can be
stirred II the right appeal is made.
When people speak OF the gains that
would be achieved If this or that
project could be pushed to success.
something is done to rouse this feel
ing Of local patriotism, and to enlist
people in behalf Of efforts for the
good old home burg.

I59 YEARS A NATION

On July 4th, 1885, the United Statel
completed 159 years existence as q
nation. Our people may allow theil
mental temperature to rise several
degrees. when the kid element and
others of less than mature judgment
attempt to express national joy on
July 4th by making bad noises. How
ever, there is reason for some cele-
brating.
It is not often that a nation runs
along 159 years without some kind
OF revolutionary upheaval. Repub-
lies succeed monarchies. and go
back to monarchies again. Then
when the people begin to break heads
in the streets, perhaps they try a
dictator. and very likely make bad
matter worse.
But here the old U. S. A. goes
plodding along year after year for
more than a century and a half,

Of government. 1t trusted the peo-
PIE to govern themselves, when most
Of the worlds wise men said it
couldn't be done. The people. said
.hese solemn authorities with pOr-
.entous shaking of head, would make
a mess of any such system.
But if the American people have
made a mess of it. the mess is no
worse than that in any other coun-
try. On the whole it is a good deal
better than in any other country.
And why better? Largely because
the men who founded our govern
ment were a marvellous group of
patriotic. unselfsh. practical, and
statesmen. They had a
keen sense of justice, and took pains
to have their government avoid the
evils that had wrecked the republics
1f the past. So it goes on and on.

50 bad that recovery is not possible /
within a short time. The way to

SEX UyE0TtAIrFtrs


The General Federation Of wo
men's Clubs had a lively debate Al
Detroit. over a motion urging thai
the code Of Law TO be administered
by the World Court, should not con
tain any inequalities based on sex.
How should the law treat women
There was a time when women were
regarded as mentally inferior, when
the husband was the head Of the
home. Traces Of such conceptions
may still be found in the older laws.
Modern laws should start with the
assumption that women have equal
mental power, and are entitled to
an equal share Of family manage
ment
A more difficult question arises,
as to whether women should be
granted special favors by the laws.
Should the hours Of work, and other
requirements in industrial employ
ments, be the same for women as
for men? According to many femin-
lists. women should ask for no spe-
cial faVors.
This seems a difficult doctrine. The
married woman who has gone into
a mill to help support the family. is
a heavy burden. There
may be children coming. and when
she finishes her toll in the shop. she
Usually works additional hours over
he home cares.
The time may come when women |
will be the physical equals of man. |
iany of the athletic girls seem to |
lave reached that point already. Try
o beat them over the swimming
curse. and they will often emerge
rom the water as fresh as a daisy,
While you are breathless. Perhaps
TOmen as a whole will reach that
'Oint of physical development some
ay. When they do. equal laws for
heir employment might be reason
BILE.
For the present, it should be con-
idered that the main task of women
: to maintain a home. II so, they
ant do everything the men can do.

VACATION LAZINESS

Dean Richardson of st. Lawrence
University says that students in un.
dergraduate colleges and professional
schools should not have summer va
cations. He thinks such periods
lead students to relapse into intel
lectual laziness.
Laziness used. to be the quality
that the old-timers abhorred more
than anything else. One of these
faithful old workers used to say,
that the verse in the Bible, which
says that the love of money is the
root of all evil, was wrong. He
said the root of all evil is the love
of else. His idea was that if people
loved to work. and kept at work.
they never got into any kind of
trouble. He was not so terribly far
from the truth.
The American people used to be
very energetic people. When they
went on a vacation. the number who
were rowing boats. climbing noun
tains. tearing over the tennis court,
far exceeded those who were lying
in hammocks and on shady pOrches.
If you give our people work. the
great majority of them will work, or
al least they used to.
1t is not clear how far the demand
for shorter hours of work has i'm
paired that spirit. But there is a
lot Of work spirit left in our folks,
II they have a chance to use it,
Young folks let loose from school /
need some kind of regular task. They
should have regular times Of play,
more than during the school year.
But they will be happier. il some
part of the day is regularly occu-
pied by some task.
If they can't find some job at which
hey can earn money, they need
iOme task about home. They need
o feel that when they perform that
ask, they have gained in power. and
pened the door of opportunity a
title wider. If one acquires the
abit of laziness through the sum-
1er. it may do more harm than all ,

he year.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

The idea of the city beautiful, with
abundant trees. parks, flowers. re-
fired home grounds, is regarded by
some as rather visionary and fanci-
full. And yet plenty of places. many
Of them having less of prosperity
than your town has, have realized
that ideal
Everywhere things can be done
that produce beauty. Trees can be
planted on every street. If the pub
lie treasury can't afford it, it would
pay real estate owners to do it in
their own neighbOrhoOds. Every
householder can raise grass. flowers.
and shrubs. All refuse and ugly
disorder can be cleaned up. These
things require a little effort, but the
rewards in satisfaction abundantly
pay. And real estate is eventually
worth more in the "City Beautiful"

NOT TOO OLD TO STrnY

Some of our folks here in Delaware
could learn much from 81 alien born
people in New York City, who have
just received diplomas from the pub
lie schools. Though all but two we're
over 80 years old, ranging from there
up to 81 years of age. they have at
tended school four hours a week for
several years, and many of them
win go on to a junior high school
class.
The typical attitude of American
natives, is that when they get
through school. they don't need to
study any more. If the human mind
is not growing, it tends to close up.
If you tied up one hand so its mus
cles could not be used. it would lose
all power. So the unexercised mind
can only go through a certain rou-
tine, and it loses the power to grasp
new ideas.

PULLING POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is big factor in build
ing up business. Some business peo-
pie have a marvellous faculty of
winning friends in their business re-
latiOns. Most of us could name
stores to which people resort simply
because they like to trade with the
proprietor personally. or one of his
salespeople. If that particular per-
son should move away. they would
go to some other store.
How do people win that favor?
Largely by their cordial manner.
They seem so glad to see everybody.
Their conversation is not exclusive
ly devoted to selling goods. They
remember people, speak of things Of
mutual interest. That gift of a
genial manner is something that any
body can cultivate. 1t not merely
makes life pleasanter, but il is a
tremendous factor in building up
business.

PUTTING IN AND TAXING our

i PUTTING IN AND TANNING our
The difilculties OF the United states
were attributed by Or. Tyler Den
nett, president of Williams College,
ia an address to his graduates, to
those who seek to take out Of our
economic system a sum dispropor-
tiOnate to what they are willing to
put into IT,
The modern farmer understands
the error Of that plan. He knows
that if he constantly takes soil ele-
ments out of the ground. in the form
of crops, he must put back an equiva-
lent value in the shape Of some fer
tilizing agent.
The bank depositOr also under
stands this principle. He knows
that if he puts 800 into the bank,
and then goes to that institution and
tries to draw out $500. he won't get
IL unless indeed he can give ample
security for a loan of the other 500.
But the gambler thinks that IL he
puts IS into some scheme Of chance,
he may get back $40 or 500 or some
much bigger sum. Once in a great
while he does so, but usually not.
Also the speculatOr has the idea
that il he puts $1,000 into some Sc
curity, he may later be able to take
out $4,000. Sometimes by reason OF
his exceptional foresight, he is able
to do it.
However, when the average per-
son buys some security because it is /
cheap, it usually sold low because of
its weak points. These defects make /
It likely il will sell cheaper yet. The
average speculator can consider him
self lucky. II he can take out as
much as he puts in. for the chances
ire he will take out less.
People live in a community, and
ixpect to get all kinds Of benefits
'ut of it, without contributing SER
ice. They come out like the de-
'ositor who put in 500 and expects
o draw out 5000. Also people take
obs and put in only careless and in
ifferent service. and expect to take I
ut good pay. They too come out

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

For days before, a mother said:
"0h, Honey, did you say
You'd get the fireworks for the kids
Don't wait til the last day."
And Daddy left his urgent work;
Rushed madly here and there;
And bought some things to pop, ex-
plOde,
Burn, sizzle, fash and flare.
The day arrived, the fun began.
Soon all was in a mess;
Poor juniors hand was badly burn
And likewise Sisters dress.
Now Juniors hand will have been
cured
And Sisters dress patched-when
The Fourth Of July. comes next
year;
And brings such fun again.

DELAWARE ENTERED II new
era Of Advancement on Monday
morning Of this week, when the
State Highway Department assumed
full control Of every road, highway
and bridge in the State outside Of
the incorporated cities and towns.
There is no diSputing the fact, that
the new setup under the State High.
way control will work tO the best
interests Of efficiency in former
county road malntainanee. While
from the political party angle the
former system was advantageous to
the party in control Of the several
county Levy Courts, it is certain that
unified operation and maintenance
under the new Setup, will work to
the advantage OF taxpayers and high.
way users in general. Delaware,
with its small area and highly de-
VelOped Highway Department, Is
ideal Tor the operation of road work
under State control. Since its in.
ceptiOn the Highway Commission has
been efficient; it has built and main.
tained one Of the finest highway Sys.
TENS in the world, and the entire
work has been done without the
least breath Of scandal in any re-
speet. Governor Buck and HIS ad.
viSOrs did well and rendered a pub.
lie service, which in years to come
will be recognized by all as wise and
legislation, when they
forced the laws now funetlOning,
through the last session of the GEN.
eral Assembly. Already the taxpay-
CTS have felt the financial benefits Of
the new system through reduced tax
alton on property; and as the new
proposition works out, the benefits
will increase. Surely Delaware Is
among the blessed when highways
and highway systems are considered.
