RLrE.GRAY TOGETHER

Perhaps nothing in recent news
has, pleased the American people
more than the joint reunion of the
Blue and the Gray at the famous
field of Gettysburg. There where the
awful sounds of war were once
heard, where now the birds sing their
love songs, and the shadows fall as
peacefully as the touch of Gods
hand, these former warriors met with
the bloody chasm all forgotten.
1t was delightful to hear of their
good fellowship and laughter, and
amicable discussions as to which
soldiers were the better fighters.
Many will wish that these reunions of
both armies could have taken place
many years ago.
In country as great as the United
States, some sectional jealousy and
i'll feeling seem inevitable. There is
some such jealousy between East
and West. The sections can never
seen things quite alike. They do not
understand each other fully. 1t is
hard for people living with such
great spacse between them, to con-
prehend each other perfectly.
We are all proud of our great
country, and proud of all the men
who fought in all our wars. If we
think this or that idea was not right,
yet the men who fought for it be-
lieved in it enough so they were will
ing to give their lives for it. Such
sacrifice is entitled to honor, what
ever we may think of the political
views thus held.
Let us hope that the reunion of
the Blue and the. Gray at Gettysburg
is a sign Of a greater national unity
than ever before. one which shall
bind North and South and West and
East with ties of love and affection,
reverence for the American ideal, and
determination to. carry our country
on to still greater heights.

And the band plays On-but mos
of the music at present is being fur
nished by the Democratic factions il
Delaware. The fight for control O
the next State Committee through
the State Convention is on in full
blast. Both factions in Sussex and
| Kent counties know that as theiI
caucus nominees for members of the
State Committee are named. so will
the powerful New Castle delegates
/ to the State Convention vote. There
fore il behOOves both factions to
control the delegates from each cOun-
ty to the State Convention. In Sus-
sex, both Allen and Baker are fully
aware what il is all about. especially
since the State Committee seated
Baker at their councils in their last
meeting. Tunnel and Collision also
realize what the primary for dele
gates means to them and the heat
is being turned on" If Allen and
Baker win the delegates from Sus-
sex County and can carry majority
in the caucus, they will name the
members from that county on the
State Committee and will also auto
matically seat Baker as their chair
man. If Collision and Tunnel are
able to do this it will be Tunnell-
controlled membership in the power
full State Committee. 1t is going to
be political death to the loser and
full well they know it. You may
look out for one of the hottest pri-
maries for election of delegates to
the State convention. Sussex county
has known for many a year. The
same thing applies in Kent county,
and both sides in the fight are well
aware of it. They are both hewing
to the line and going to let the chips
fall where they may. All right for
the factions but not so good for the
voters and taxpayers of the state.
o.
We wonder just how Democratic
office holders. Congressman Allen,
State Treasurer Blackstone an d.
State Auditor Wise and their friends
feel about the resolutions adopted
by the Tunnell- Collision alliance?
Sussex County committee refuses to-
support any of the three for the
at the coming State
Although it is sensible
and good politics to send the same
Congressman back to Congress over
a period of years, if the State expects
to get any favors from the Federal
and although State
and treasurers who are only
elected for two years are always |
given a second term as matter of
party courtesy by both the Republi-
cans and Democrats, these factional
Democrats declare that these men
shall not go back to the jobs they |
hold regardless of their worth. AS
D Republican, we are not crazy about
the nomination of anyIof them. as
we think it. is only a useless gesture
and none of them will be reelected; |
still, there is good manners even in
politics and for a part of. the Demo-
cratic party to rail out against these

COST OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents are costing
about 10000 lives annually now, with
100000 people more or less injured
The property damage is estimated al
around $500, ,OOO, 900 yearly. When you
add hospital care, doctors and nurs-
es, bills, and lost time, the total cost
has beer. estimated at s1,2OO,0OO, 900.
1t is doubtful if this figure would
cover the financial losses to the peo-
pie which come through the death of
many victims.
All these figures of course look
only at the money side of these de-
plorable tragedies. The sorrow that
comes into the lives of the families
stricken by fatal accident is some
thing that can not be measured in
any terms of money. The 10000 IA
miles who are thus afflicted each
year will carry all their lives the bur
den of personal loss. for which no
mOneW can compensate
Automobile accidents have some
thing to do with the sufferings OF /
many people from poverty and dis
tress. When the family's breadwin-
ner or homekeeper or the child is
killed or laid up with injuries, the
average family has to draw on its
savings to pay the accident and other
bills. Probably many families who
have been on relief had savings on
which they could have drawn, had it
not been for the losses and expense
caused by traffic accidents. I
If the American. people want to
produce universal welfare, they
should insist that measures be taken
that will Adequately deal with these
misfortunes. Our people can not af-
ford indefinitely to go on suffering
losses of a billion or more yearly,
because cars get smashed up and /
their occupants injured. Human
sympathy, the desire to avoid bring
ing sorrow and pain into anybody's
life. should be enough to persuade l
people to drive carefully and avoid
accidents.
The money losses must be cOnsi-
iered, as examples of the needless ,
errors by which so many people spoil !
heir chances for progress and pros
lerity. ]

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

If some people would hOller as
loud and continuously for the good
causes of their home town as they
will for a baseball or football team,
it would do something to put their
community ahead.
Many folks who left home and went
to the big cities, have bitterly re-
GREETED later that they did not lay
aside enough money so they would

HOW TO STAND HOT WEATHER

HOW TO STAND HOT WEATHER
Medical authorities, philosophers
and others tell us how to avoid the
worst sufferings and dangers of hot
weather. We hear about walking on
the shady side, about not rushing
too much, and taking philosophical
view of the heat.
In southern countries they solve
that problem by the MONDAY siesta,
the long nap in the middle of the day.
Business just about stops for about
two hours. 1t is a good scheme,
only it does not fit American tenn
permanent
In our country probably the best
way to meet hot weather, is through
thin clothes. Many of the old timers
used to wear such thick clothes that
they boiled, baked, and roasted on
hot days. The modern world has
gotten away from those ideas, parti-
cularly the women and girls. The
men are still subject to the tight col
lar. which they should modify. Light,
loose clothes will do much toward
making July and August pleasant.

RECOVERY OUTLOOK Govern

is due soon. They believe the rever-

July or August at the latest, and
when recovery comes it will be a
rapid change, not a gradual one.

BIGGER BATTLESHIPS-At the

the U. s., Britain and France agreed
that battleships would be limited to

and submarines to 1000 tons.

will be here for them to inspect. The
National Gallery of Art which was
endowed by the late Andrew w. Mel
Ion will be completed by 1910 and
will contain the famous art collec-
tion of the former secretary of the
treasury. The gallery will be but a
short distance from Congress and
will be made of light pink Tennessee
marble.

 She knelt down on the floor of the porch, trying to see into the room through the half-inch space below the shade. She peered in- tently, trying to accustom her eyes to the shadows along the floor. Slowly things took form-she saw the carpet, the legs of the secre- tary, an easy chair yes, there were two large, black-Shod feet. MT. Hendry was at home then!
 She stood up quickly. Perhaps he had taken sick, all alone in the house. Perhaps he had had one brandy too much.
 She went back and tried the door. It was unlatched. Without hesitat- ing, she went inside, shutting it behind her. She walked across the hall and into the living room.
 MT. Hendry" she called softly. She saw him, sitting at his desk, staring duly at her. His head rested on the back of his chair, as if he were too tired to hold it erect. Something in his attitude frightened her.
 MT. Hendry!" she called again. Still he did not move.
 He is intoxicated, she thought, and wondered what to do about it.. There would be no point in talk ing to him tonight. She felt vaguely disappointed. She had never thought of him - like this. She was sorry to have intruded. Perhaps MT. Hendry had his secrets, too.
 But why did he sit there so stonily, staring at her in that va cant, frightening way?
 Was he i'll? A sudden stroke .. shock.
 She rushed over to his side, felt his hand quickly. And then, in a flash, she knew the reason for the wild fear that had engulfed her a few moments before. She caught her breath violently, choked the cry that swelled up in her throat and would have strangled her. His hand was cold and clammy, and the fingers were almost stiffened.

Jerome Whitehead, a law profes- sor, started his students by offer ing to bet, at odGs of to l, that he could trip them on hypotheti- cal murder case. His offer was &C., cepted. He then passed typewrit- ten sheet to each student. On those sheets was this problem:
 Morton Giles, farmer, was get- ting angry. His farm was near the main highway and time and again tramps would raid his watermelon patch and make off with the fruit. So Giles posted warnings he would shoot the next marauder, loaded his rifle and waited.
 The next morning came his op- portunity. He emerged from his house just in time to see ragged tramp, with watermelon under his arm, climb over the fence surround ing the garden and run across a frozen pond. Giles fired and the tramp plunged forward to the ice, breaking through. When the farmer reached the spot and fished him out, the tramp was dead, but Giles could not say whether he had died of drowning or by the bullet.

 Tons of snow crash down the Alps each year. cutting deep gashes in the forests, often en- gulfing whole villages. burying everything in their path. The great Rhone valley is dotted with crosses marking the disaster that met winter travellers.
 A trifle may start an avalanche; vibration from a distant train, a clap of thunder. or even a cry or shout 'reverberating through the thin mountain air. The ava- lanche is picturesque Switzer- lands greatest menace.
