BACK 10 WORK

A total Of 1.25O,0OO people left ths
rolls of the WPA during the past Il
months to go to work in private
business This is sign that mans
sluggish channels of trade are flow
ing more freely, and that many cold
feet are thawing out
Many business people contend
conditions are still so difficult that
they do not dare expand their oper-
ations. That may be so in many
cases. but successful enterprises are
very apt to start in periods when
times are dull and many are out of
work.
During those periods far sighted
people believe that times will not
always be slow. and that a period
when many are out of work is
time when labor and supplies can
be had at reasonable rates, and it
is easy to get competent help. Those
who linger and delay may find too
late that they have missed the train
that is leaving for Successtown.

GREAT TRAVEL INDUSTRY

An expert authority estimates
that the travel industry in this coun-
try will do S6,O0O,OO0,OO0 business
this year, compared with $4,000 ,OOO,-
900 last year. On account of bad
conditions in the warning European
countries, many who would natur-
ally travel to Europe will spend
their money at home this year. Ev-
cry enterprise that benefits by trav-
ell and tourists should be prosper
Gus in 1910.
The American people have their
going shoes on, and they have more
money in their pockets than they had
last year. They want to see the
famous beauty scenes. the national
parks, the noted historic centers.
They want to see what plain ord:-
nary folks and their homes look like
in states distant from their own.
The hotel, boarding house, and
tourist home and cabin people will
turn many away for lack of ROOM
The hot dog stands would better lay
in ample supplies. People get hun
ghy and tired after their long
jaunts. They appreciate those who
know how to cook the hamburg
steak. and who can provide beds on
which people can sleep the sleep of
the just.
If somebody's meat seems to par
take of the qualities of chewing gum.
and the beds are so humpy that the
sleepers are in danger of rolling out
on the floor, people don't feel happy
about such place, and the word
spreads that it is one to pass by.
A very fine job is done by the peo-
pie of Delaware who are entertain
ing the folks that come along the
road. The effort is made to have
them feel at home, to supply them
with comforts as good as they would
find under their own roofs. Count
less numbers of tourists come
through Delaware. They go home
with the feeling that our people are
real folks whom it is a pleasure to
know, and that we have a fine state
here which has a superb history. 1t
is one which every American should
wish to visit

FROM CONGRESSMAN
GEORGE S. WILLIAMS
War Propaganda

Although sentiment in the West
is predominantly against interven-
ton of this country in European
wars, it is apparent that propaganda
is making some headway in the East,
and that developments are more
crucial than are generally recog-
nized. The international press, ra-
dio, and platform are modes of dis
semination. and personal lobbyists
are active in the Capitol Many in
dications point to carefully laid
plans to ease the United States into
the war by arousing emotions against
aggression and armed force.
1t is admitted that Americans are
opposed to sending our young men
to fight in foreign lands. so the prop
aganda is focused on liberalizing ex-
listing restrictions on loans, credit
and shipping. Current rumors indi-
cate that the first assault will be
upon the johnson Act which bans
private sale of bonds. securities or
other obligations to foreign govern
ments, or loans to governments or
agents thereof, in default of debts
to the government of the United
States. The allies are thereby pro-
hibited from getting loans for pur-
chase of war supplies in this coun-
try.
Proposals are also said to be in
contemplation for repeal of that part
of the neutrality law which now
prevents private sources from sell
ing supplies to the allies on credit,
and also repea, of the neutrality law
which now prevents private Ameri-
can merchant ships from going TO
allied ports One leading capitol
recently said: In Con-
gTess neutrality sentiment remains
about as strong as ever. Chance of
the neutrality law at this
session is nil. Need of allies is not
likely to be for man power; is more
likely to be Tor vast airplane pro-
duction. TO: war materials of every
kind, possibly for pilots, definitely
for credit The idea that this coun-
try can sit on the sidelines and de-
mand cash down for sales of goods is
likely to be tested severely. and
sooner than many expect"

MOTHERS DAY

The American people have found
pleasure and inspiration for many
years by paying tribute to their mo-
thers on the second Sunday in May.
1t is a noble sentiment and custom,
and one that should be perpetuated.
The spirit which maternity arouses
in a woman is about the height of
self-sacrifice and devotion.
There is a great shortage of self
sacrifice in this selfish world, which
seems to grow less and less inter
ested in that kind of spirit. Il want
to live my own life" has become one
OF the most familiar phrases of the
American scene, and We need some
kind of observance to make people
see the satisfaction and beauty of
a higher point of view.
Most women place few limits on
the extent of the sacrifices they are
willing to make for their children.
Many of them wear old and shabby
clothes so that a great chunk of the
family money can go to sending the
children to school or college, to pro-
vide Son with the pleasure he de-
sires, or to give Daughter nice
clothing with which she can make
a fine show in social life.
Women sit up to late hours of the
night getting their children's clothes
ready for the parties. They toll in
the home to make it sweet and |
pleasant for their children, so they !
will love these homes. Very many
women have grown prematurely old !
in this constant effort to please The
youngsters.
1t is unfortunate that so many |
children have little appreciation of
the extent of these sacrifices. and |
what they have cost Many of them
accept all this toll and effort and /
money as a kind of natural right. |
and do not seem to realize what these
sacrifices mean. Mothers Day should !
lead them TO DO some Serious think
ing, and they should try to express
appreciation for these things before |
it is forever too late.
