WILLIAMSVILLE

The Williamsville Sunshine Circle
was most delightfully."- entertained by
Mrs. Calvin Morgan at her home in
Milford on Thursday evening. May
81. The opening song was sung by
all. followed by the reading of the
scripture and prayer. The minutes
o fthe last meeting were read and
approved. Another birthday offering
was received for the birthday jar.
After all business was discussed the
circle was invited to meet with Mrs.
Laura Davis for the next monthly
meeting, June "a. At late hour de-
licious refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served in abundance.
Everyone then babe adieu after ex-
pressing their sincere appreciation
to the hostess for having spent such
a pleasant evening full of the 'circle
sunshine"
Miss Kathryn Donovan and Miss
Kathryn Pearson who are nursing
at the Philadelphia Home for Insur-
ables, spent part of last Wednesday

THE GASLESS CAR

II a man proposes 10 operate an
automobile, he must expect to spend
money for gasoline, tires, oil, re-
pairs, and other items. If he spent
so much for storage. repairs, and
tires, that he had no money left with
which to buy gas, he would not make
any mileage.
Such a man might be compared 10
the business that provides as it
should for rent, clerk hire. taxes, in
surance, and other essentials, but
has no money left for advertising. 1t
may have a very fine looking store,
with excellent stock which will draw
some business. But like the automo-
bile without gas in the tank. there
is some lack of motive power that
prevents it from going ahead and
making the gains it could achieve.

JOBS WANTED FOR 100000

The National Youth Administration
has applied to the Industrial interests
of the country to find work for 5OO.-
900 young people who will be drop
ped from the NYA payroll at the close
of the school year. Most of these
young people who have been receiv-
ing government aid. are from low
income families that are unable to
support these students.
These boys and girls must not wait
until jobs are offered. They should
make every effort to find employ
ment. Some of the time spent in run
ming around in automobiles could
well be used in tramping from store
to shop or anywhere that offers a
chance of providing work. The work
seeker should not be discouraged if
100 places have turned him down
The 1O1st place may be just the one
where he will fit in.

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS re

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS re-
ceived a great incentive to work
last Saturday when the final results
of the Wilmington City election
showed an overwhelming majority
for the entire Republican city ticket
The Republicans expected to carry
the city, to reelect Mayor Bacon and
the others; but they did not expect
the 1850 majority which was rolled
ND in the landslide. The vote would
seem to indicate that the several
Republican factions which split last
autumn have patched up their diff
ferences and that they will present
a common front to the Democrats
in the future. Jim Ellison, Writ
Willis and others who were OFF the
reservation last fall worked hard
for the ticket last Saturday and the
results of their efforts were notice
able in the wards in which they had
the most strength. From a Demo-
cratic majority of 1866 in Whining
ton last November the voters
switched to a Republican majority of
1885 on Saturday. This vote is sig
nificant and augurs well for the Re-
publican cause next year. Delaware
is a Republican State and she will
return to that column soon.

MAGRS.HOuRS PROBLEM

The weather is reputed to be no
in Washington in the summer, ant
the proposal to make a law regulat.
ing minimum wages and hours OF
labor all over the country will moi
probably make the perspiring states
men feel any cooler. After the con-
tending interests have pulled and
hauled at their coattails and button
holes for a month or two, they will
probably be longing, like David, the
Psalmist, for "the wings of a dove,
that might fly away and be at rest"
And perhaps after they have lis
tened to the contending claims, they
will repeat those other words of
David when he remarked: 81 said in
my haste, All men are liars"
This attempt to regulate wages and
hours is not quite as difficult as the
original NRA, since that proposed
to control every industry, little or
big. The present proposition will
probably seek only to regulate those
that manufacture goods to be ship
ped from one state to another. also
the smaller producers are likely to
be omitted.
In some localities people can af-
ford to work for less than in others.
Such localities profit by their low
production costs, and they won't
give up this advantage without a
struggle.
The American people are sick of
goods made by child labor, when
children who should be in school |
are placed before their time up
against a bench and told to do
weeks work. Also they want peo-
pie able to earn enough so they can
live in a decent way.
The present proposition is to Gre
ate a national labor board which
shall have power to adjust conditions
for each industry needing such reg
llations. It is perhaps the only way

HONORS TO THE FLAG

June II, the anniversary of the
day when the stars and stripes were
established as the United States flag,
is a good time to tell the people that
they should pay due respect to this
national emblem. The men and boys
should remove their hats when that
flag passes on parade, but many Of
them fail to do so.
Some will say the flag is merely a
piece of bright blue bunting. and
this tribute does no practical good.
That is not a good example. II we
are going to have good country,
with opportunity for all. people must
show affection for the country.
If we show respect to the flag, we
testify that we do love the country.
The barred head is a tribute which
says that we owe homage to the great
land that gives us so many privi-
leges and blessings.

MEETING THE PUBLIC NEED

Someone was speaking of person
who has achieved rather remark
able business success. How did he
do it? The answer was that he had
a very keen perception of the things
the public wanted. and he proceeded
to give the people those things.
So anyone who takes job or starts
a business has got much more to do
than turn up at the store or shop
every day, and go through the mo-
tions of work. He has to devote all
his brain power to studying what
his employer wants, or what the pub
lie demands, and then proceed to de-
liver service that will satisfy those
desires. That is the way people get
ahead.

THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY

On June IA, 1777, the Continental
Congress of the United States adopt
ell a resolution providing for the flag
which is now the symbol of our
country. The only change has been
the addition of a new star every
time a state was admitted to the
union. Thus the flag that once had
but 13 of those glorious stars now
has 48. Every one of them is a val
ued and beloved member of the grand
sisterhood, and each one has made
contributions of the greatest value
to American development.
People sometimes speak disrespect-
fully of what our country has ac-
complished, and of its many failures.
But wherever you go in those 4S
states, you find certain basic essen
tials of human freedom, and certain
projections against evils existing in
other lands. Our country may have
fallen far short of its ideals. as it
naturally would considering selfish
human nature, but we have not wan
dered wholly away from the princi-
pies of the grand men who 100 years
ago created that combination of red,
white, and blue before which we
now bow our heads in reverence.
These American principles which
still exist wherever that flag waves.
hight be summarized as follows:
First, freedom for all. We still have
free speech, free press, and free
elections. Many countries which
once had those privileges, have lost
them.
Second, schools for all. Not all
the schools are what they should be,
yet they do more for our young peo-
pie than is done on any other con-
tinent.
Third, an opportunity for all.
While these opportunities are not
all one can wish. it is still true that
a young person who shows fidelity,
industry, and mental ability can OBJ
tain recognition and rewards. Long
may the flag wave that assures these
principles.

ployees, paying s273.Oe0.22 in taxes
on the wages earned in this district
during the month OF May. This tax
is levied under Title VIII Of the So
cial Security Act, which imposes an
income tax of one per cent on the

UNCLE SAM SENDS nEBT BILLS

The United States Government as
usual sent notifications to 13 coun-
tries that borrowed money from our
government during the World War,
that they owe us an instalment on
those debts June 15.. OF these the
only one expected to pay anything is
little Finland, sparsely populated
and near Arctic country far up to-
ward the frozen north. One would
think it would be less able to pay
than others, but 10 and behold, it
faithfully turns up every year with
its regular instalment.
The other countries figure out by
some method of their own, that they
do not owe us all that money. But
they owe us plenty. and people that
don't pay find it difficult to borrow
when they want something more.

HOUSES FOR RENT

The American Institute of Archi.
tects at their recent annual conven-
ton, considered proposals which IL
was held would encourage building
construction, and put many unein-
ployed people to work. 1t was urged
that instead of erecting many small
houses for sale, builders should al
so produce a large number of such
homes to be rented. 1t was held
that where peoples incomes or EN-
ployment are uncertain, they can I
afford to buy houses.
There always is a great demand
for small modern homes to be rented
for moderate price. In many cities
there are plenty of expensive places
which can be bought or rented, but
few that can be leased for the money
which the average wage-earner can
afford.
If you ask man to put money in
to houses to be held as an invest
ment and rented to occupants, he Is
apt to say that after he has paid his
taxes, his insurance, and necessary
repairs from year to year, there is
very little left as interest on his
money. Also the people who fail to
pay their rent, don't encourage in
vestors to build and own houses.
After children have marked up the
wall paper and smudged it with their
dirty hands, perhaps run roller
skates over the hardwood floors, a |
house needs heavy repair charges.
Such losses do not encourage people
to put up houses to be rented.
What is needed today is a simpl,

RECORD PRODUCTION
OF OIL FORECAST
Lower Prices and Smaller Output
Predicted in 1888 After Alb

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The produc-
ton Of petroleum in the United
States this year promises to reach
the highest figure on record, accord
ing to the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute.
Even if there should be some cur
tailment in the rate during the re-
mainder of the year, it is hardly like
ly that the decrease would be suffi-
cient to offset the gain in the first
nine months The output during this
period amounted to 956.000,000 bar
rels as compared with $4,000 900 bar
rels in the first nine months of last
year, an increase of ia per cent.
If the output in the last quarter
should be the the same rate as In
September, the annual production
would amount to 1898 100000 barrels
in 1887 as compared with the pre-
vious high record of 1909 100000 in
1886 and with the depression's low Of
785 000,000 barrels in 1882 1t would
exceed the pre-depression volume of
1907 900, 900, produced in 1929, by
284 per cent.
Despite the sharp increase in out
put this year, petroleum prices have
advanced, extending the upward
movement which began in 1888.
1t seems hardly likely that the de-
mand for petroleum will be main
tained ot S1Iph an ahnOrnnsliV hich
level next year. Consequently, a cur
tailment of output or drop in the
price level or both will occur in 1888
unless imitation raises the national
income sufficiently to offset the lack
of such an abnormal demand relative
to income as that which has pre-
vailed this year.
