A large force of clerks are busi-

of the Motor Vehicle Department
preparing the cards to be used in
the Delaware annual motor vehicle
inspection, which will be held be-

An inspection card is being prepar-

the last known address of the car

owner has changed his address
without notifying the Motor We

ers will probably not receive their
inspection cards since the cards
will be sent to the old address.
Failure to receive the card will not
serve, however, as an excuse for
net having cars inspected since Of

effort this year to see that every

Can you imagine in that boiing
caEidron of liquid fire, the sun, the
faintest suggestion of shadow?
Can you imagine in God who is In
finite Light, the least suggestion of
shadow?
In his Epistle, st. John declares:
If we walk in the light as He is
in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ, cleaneth US from all
sin"
Does st. John expect us to walk
in the light as God is in the light
Does he expect us to walk in light
which is infinite, shadowless? Is
our spiritual light to be as con
stant, as steady, and as undarken-
ed by shadow as the spirituality Of
God Himself?
I must confess that such a sug-
gestion slowed up my pen as I
thought of it, yet an inner convic-
tion that such a statement must be
true and the knowledge that such
perfection of spiritually is demand
ed by Scripture drove my pen on
through its hesitancy to doubt, and
on out into the blessed light of
fact, to which the Spirit brought
verifcation as He impressed upon
my mind the command of Jesus,
BE ye perfect even as your Father
in heaven is perfect"
This seeming impossibility of
reaching a place in spiritual life
and experience which is undimmed
by shadow is attainable, however,
by a simple process, a process open
to US all And that process con
sists in simply this looking
into the face Of God,
There is no shadow in the face Of
the man who looks directly at the
sun.
Live up to the fullness Of the
light which you now have. Sim
ply obey what you know God
wants you to do and to be Obed-
fence to such as you now possess
will lead you into more light
which. faithfully followed. will
bring you into the fulness of that
radiancy that streams from God.

ATLANTIC REFINING CO.
Specializes in Offering Motorists
Service in Vacation Outing

Pointing out that happy holiday
and vacation motoring depends on
the trouble-free, smooth operation
of the car, Joseph R. Rollins, of
The Atlantic Refining Company,
states that many Atlantic dealers
will specialize this summer in Of
fering motorists a pre-holiday or
pre-vacation check-up and lubrica-
ton service. "Such service, >
says Mr.. Rollins, provides the mo-
torist with an inexpensive form of
insurance against annoyances that
can seriously mar the pleasure of
a trip, both for himself and his
family. Like the stitch in time
that saves nine, the special lubrica-
ton and check-up service for his
car before the start of the trip
may be the means of not only in
suring carefree trip but also of
saving costs for repairs that would
put heavy dent in the vacation
budget. The days of hit and miss
fabrication are gone. Petroleum
refiners work hand in hand with
automobile manufacturers and
technical information is freely in
terchanged. Through the use of
accurate charts of the chassis and
motor construction of the modern
car, the qualified service station
attendant can guarantee a scientif-
ic job of fabrication. All Atlantic
dealers are trained by company en-
gineers in the latest methods of
servicing automobiles. Research is
continuously going on in the labor
atories and the findings passed on
to dealers. fabrication and fuel
products are continuously tested to
insure uniformity. This team work
promotes the safety and pleasure
of today's motorists"

y
anybody raises any intellectual doubt
as to whether the legislation proposed
will actually achieve those objectives.
The wages and hours bill is case
in point. The original bill was OF
the most dubious constitutionality.
II one rereads Justice Cardozos
opinion on the N. r. A. it is impossible
to see how court. full OF liberal
judges Of the Brandeis- Cardozo-
caliber. could have upheld such whole
sale delegation Of power to commits
sion, to govern by fiat. 1t gave to FIVE
men control over the industrial life OF
the country, over questions most deli
cate, with power to move wages and
hours up and down pretty much as
they pleased. Now, in contrast, the
new bill is innocuous, and it would
seem that a weary Congress. worn out
by the Supreme Court fight, and
heartily desiring vacations, might pass
it without that "Sedate and candid
consideration which the magnitude
and Importance of the subject de-
mands," without open hearings, and in
casual acceptance Of the premises Of
Senator Black, one Of its sponsors.
Premises Open to Question.
But it Is precisely these premises
which are open to serious question.
No decent human being is going to
question the desirability of ending
inhuman hours of work, abolishing
child labor, diminishing unemploy-
ment and giving everybody who
works a living wage. But the ques-
ton Of exactly what government can
best do to bring about the speedy
realization Of those detectives is one
which demands very careful thought
and considerable deliberation, lest
the legislation framed achieve ex-
actly the opposite result Of the one
aimed at.
Apparently the trainers of this
legislation have the most exag-
gerated respect for the system of pri-
vate enterprise, and an unlimited
confidence in its capacity to work
miracles. II only 1t is ordered to do
so. In a socialist state 1t is an ac-
cepted premise that the length Of

time which men must work In any
given industry, and the wages that
they get. depend upon the real
wealth which Is produced and f,nds
a market; that wealth, in order to
be consumed, has to be produced,
and that wages are raised and hours
shortened as the national income
rises.
But Senator Blacks procedure is
inverse. Higher wages and longer
hours are not to be the result OF an
increased national income, but the
cause Of It. The future is indeed
delightful to contemplate For, given
the original premise, there Is no
logical limit to its application.
Why BE Pikers?

week and the universal-legislated
minimum wage of 40 cents an hour

or 20, or 10, will presumab.. create
even more Jobs and more purchasing
power and more prosperity So why
be pikers? II a labor standards board
can make little miracle by nat, why
not make truly grandiose one and
give us the millennium Immediately?
The French new deal legislated a
universal 40-hour week and 1t is
already a considerable pain in the
governments neck 1t seems that
in some industries production has
actually increased under the law,
while In others it has decreased to
the vanishing point. And it seems
that when you get zero-hour week
the workers are not better of, and
there is nobody to pay them except
the government
And it also seems that wages have
some remote connection with pro-
duction, and also with prices
One wonders to what extent the
trainers OF this bill have considered
its effect upon our foreign trade
policy. Section 8 of the bill certainly
shows that its trainers are aware that
it may necessitate increased tariffs.
1t goes 80 far as to say that once the
bill is in operation the United States
Tariff Commission shall investigate
the differences resulting from this act
in the cost OF production of any do
mestic articles, or in any like or SIM
liar foreign articles, with view to
determining whether or not an in

Export Trade Menaced.
This section must have caused con-
siderable qualm to Secretary Hull,
who has been consistently carrying
out the administration policy Of
breaking down international trade
barriers. and it indicates that the
Drafting Committee does not believe
that hours and wages fixed by the
Labor Standards Board will be ab-
sorbed out of excess profits, but may
be passed on in price increases which
can only be sustained II foreign goods
are kept out Of competition. II these
price increases are In categories OF
