Domestic Relations Court

The time approaches for an intensive
campaign to create community senti-
ment for a court of domestic relations.
The situation is similar to that pre-
ceding the election which authorized
the junior college and the tuberculosis
sanatorium.
1t will be remembered that when
the junior college proposal was first
brought to the attention of the Board
of County Commissioners no official
recognition was forthcoming. The ex-
plantation was that the board could not
scent popular approval and was not
willing to call an election unless and
until it was convinced the people of
Wilmington wanted the school.
This attitude started a movement
by the colleges chief supporters to
prove to the commissioners that the
people of Wilmington did in fact want
the college, with result that when a
public hearing was held the superior
court room was we'll filled with repre-
[sentatives of all the city's civic and
other organizations, many of whom
addressed the board with authority o
their separate groups TO support tn

Help For Fairmont

Human nature is strange. So often
it is not touched by human distress if
sufferers are in a far place. Not until
adversely in one or another form strikes
home-or near home-are people
spurred voluntarily to help.
An example Of this is provided by
the tornado which swept a path half
a mile wide and thirty miles long in
the Fairmont area Wednesday after
Don Because it is all but in our
.neighborhood, Wilmingtonians are STIR
red to do what they can to relieve the
people left destitute in it's wake.

promptly offered aid through the Lum-

ned food into the area.

Past experience has proved that only
by this means could the needy people
of Russia's satellite countries hope to
benefit by our Samaritanism. Too often
in the past, especially in Yugoslavia,

There is no assurance that ever
American distribution of aid among
people under Moscow's puppets would
not be taken from them once the gifts
were made. But distribution by Ameri-
can agents directly to wal sufferers
would be better than turning supplies
over to governments taking orders
from Stain. At least some of the aid
would not be confiscated. The people
themselves would see to that.

Editorial Comment
WHEN B O r

With the idea of giving citizens a chance to
question candidates for the City Commission.
the Trenton League of Women Voters arranged
a public meeting which the candidates agreed
to attend.
1t wasn't quite the case that there were
more candidates than votes, but almost.
Twelve Of the Is candidates turned up, outlined
the qualifications and answered questions. But
the audience consisted of only a handful OF
voters.
Such meetings are not new. Neither is the
measly attendance. The apathy with respect
to Trenton municipal government is typical,
and professional politicians thrive on it. The
experience shows the difficulty facing civic
groups sincerely interested in obtaining bet

WONDER QUESTIONS
CAN FRESH WATER BE
EnVrNn IN TuE CEAc
U IN THE SEA?

Large quantities of fresh water
are found at certain places in the
sea. This is particularly the case
at the mouth Of large rivers,
where enormous volumes of fresh
water are continually being pour
ed out into the sea and spread
out over the surface for many
miles.
The outflow of fresh water from
the Amazon is over a million GU
bit feet a second and this is found
on the surface 200 miles from
shore. After a while its freshness
entirely disappears as its ming
ling with the salt water IS COM
pleted. Ships short of fresh water
nave often obtained a supply from
the sea near the mouth of the
Amazon.

put a drop Of water on a piece

the surface of the paper for the
molecules of water is greater than
their attraction to one another,

But though a drop of mercury
is a true liquid, it will not wet
the paper. Even if it is splitup,
it simply splits into smaller balls
or drops. This is because the
molecules of the mercury have a
greater attraction for each other
than they have for the paper.

Taft Labor Bill

During the debate on Senator Taft's
omnibus labor bill Senator Morse of
Oregon openly charged the Ohioan
with playing politics" with an eye on
the 1913 presidential election.
There was nothing new in this. It
has been generally understood from
the opening session of the present
Congress that Mr.. Taft, who covets
the republican nomination for Presi-
dent, and who is chairman of both
the Labor and the republican Policy
Committees, intended to do whatever
lay in his power to handicap the Tru-
man administration.
There is no reason to doubt that
the Labor bill was framed in it's pres
ent form to invite the President to
veto it, as it goes further than Mr..
Truman is willing to go. Notwithstand-
ing this, a Senate majority voted down
the proposal to send the bill back into
committee with definite instructions to
return it not later than Friday divided
into four bills, action which clearly
indicates the bill itself will have suf-
ficient support to be enacted into law.
1t is not the present purpose to
discuss the bills provisions, but to con-
denim Senator Taft's motives. The
United States needs legislation to place
reasonable controls on union labor-not
the laborers, for the most part, but
the leadership which has been inching
toward national dictatorship since the
new deal gave it the green light.
The present Congress had a chance
to correct the evils of the Wagner Act
and other acts relating to labor. In
Estead of moving quickly toward the
goal it has crawled through months
of inquiries and Misunderstanding off
a decision very much in the Moscow
pattern-only to bring forth a bill in
the upper branch that the President
almost certainly will not sign, and a
bill in the House said to be even more
unwelcome at the White House.
The country faces another coal
strike on July /, when the federal op-
%erative contract expires. John L. Lewis,
whose ego was hurt when he personal
ly and the union he heads were heavi-
ly fined, may be relied on to make de-
mands for what may we'll prove pro-
hlbltlve increases in miners wages and
through a strike cause irreparable
damage to industrial production and
place a brake on the nations industrial
recovery.
Obviously, unless something is done
to bring the White House and the
Capitol into agreement on labor legis-
lation the coming summer will find
the United States set back again in
its attempt to find economic equili-
brium. AS the lesser of two evils, if
the President uses the veto. it might
be best in the long run to pass the bill
over the veto. At least this would out
law the looming coal strike. Better still,
in all probability, it would boomerang
on Senator Taft and eliminate him
from the presidential picture.

from these springs is often dipped
up in buckets by the crews of
ships.
Of some Of the South Sea Is
lands. the natives dive to the bot
tom of the sea and fetch up fresh
water for drinking purposes in
followed gourds. This is surely
tie most astonishing of all ways
to obtain drinking water.
Ground ice has been rising
to the surface Of the sea eff the
Atlantic coast of America,
coming, no doubt, from a SUBJ
marine spring. When the fresh
water reached the cold sea water,
which VAS below freezing point, it
rapidly froze into ice and, being
lighter, rose to the surface.
What Causes Cramp?
Cramp is really a spasm Or con-
traction of one or more muscles
IL a limb or in some other part
of the body. 1t may be felt by
pain or by numbness. 1t comes
sometimes when a person is
swimming. 1t may be caused by
cverexertion and severe cold, and
is probably due to some compli-
Gated change occurring in the
muscle itself.
A sharp rubbing over the sur
face of the muscle will usually put
it right. However, to be seized
with cramp while swimming can
be very dangerous, as you can
easily understand. We must get to
land before the cramp can be
treated, and the fact that we have
been seized with cramp might
prevent us from doing SO.
