Traffic Light Needed

The Star believes the time ripe to
recommend again the installation of a
traffic light at Fifth and Princess. We
see no other means of regulating the
flow of cars and trucks at this inter-
section, especially at peak hours.
AS it is, drivers are p%erpetually in
convenienced by the present arrange
ment which allows motor vehicles to
proceed when the way is clear, after
north or south traffic of Fifth has
paused at the stop sign. Too often
1t IS not a pause but a prolonged stop.
Furthermore, with cars parked on
the South side of Princess clear up to
the west sidewalk on Fifth, northbound
drivers have trouble seeing eastbound
traffic on Princess and must set their
cars astrlde the pedestrianway before
they can have a margin-of-safety vi
sion at their left. Much the same
situation exists for southbound Fifth
street drivers, who must pull ahead of
cars parked at their right hand on Fifth
before v~enturing across the intersec-
ton with Princess.
Both Princess and Fifth are through
streets, but Princess street traffic has
the right of Wav. while Fifth ctront
traffic must stop. Not all drivers
know this. Often enough cars on
Princess driven by strangers to the
rule stop at Fifth while cars behind
them form a queue. With Fifth street
traffic at a standstill at the same time
confusion and unnecessary delay is the
result.
All this could be done away with il
a signal light were in operation there

A Separate School

Reports have been spread that the
Wilmington College, which is to be the
name of the educational institution to
be launched with the coming of the
next school term, is to be an extension
Of the high school.
To the extent that pupils to be en-
rolled take the next step in their educa-
ton after high school, this is true, but
the college, as the Board of Education
has taken pains to explain, is to be
separate and a distinct place of learn
ing, with it's own courses of study.
Otherwise, the college could not re-
ceive classification under the require
ments for junior colleges.
Wilmington College will not merely
add two more years to the high school
course. 1t is important that this should
be understood, the school board feels,
lest parents enroll their offspring at
other junior colleges at some distance
from home and the local college be
under a handicap from the start.
Glasses will be held in the New Han
over High school until such time as
the Board of Education can rehabili-
tate the buildings at Bluethenthal air
field to which it has fallen heir, but
in no other material way will it be
linked to the high school.

There is no politics in the Stars en-
dorsement of Representative Rees'
view. Despite the custom of r~ewarding

efficient he may be, is enough.

wild dogs, looks much like a small

using cunning tricks to capture
their prey.
dogs cautiously stick out their
heads and see the first coyote
walking away. First one and then
another comes out and sits up to
yelp at the disappearing enemy.
Then the coyote that hid rushes
at the nearest prairie dog, and
the pair of cunning hunters dine.
Jackals are a little smaller than
coyotes and look much like them
While they hunt small animals
themselves, they depend for much
of their food on the leavings of
the great hunters, the lion and
tiger.
There are several species of
jackals in Africa, one Of which,
the yellow jackal, is found from
Morocco through southern Asia 70
India, and is the best-known kind

The Abyssinian wolf" a large
red jackal of the Ethiopian Pla-
teau, is n of the most interest
ing members of the dog family.
While we class it here with the
,jackals, it resembles the wolf and
fox. Long-legged and slender-bod-
led, it behaves very much like a
fox, preying on field rats and
other small animals.
Jackals are usually found in
pairs, although when there is a
special attraction a number may
come together. Like the coyote,
they are not very courageous, but
they sometimes rush in ard seize
a piece of meat while the animal
that did the killing is still gorging.

Aid For Philippines

There is some just complai n t
against our executive predisposition to
make loans to foreign nations from
funds needed at home. 1t is a fact that,
whatever our war-imposed obligations
to other lands, we still have a prior
obligation to our own people.
But there is one government and
population for which the United States
cannot do too much-within reason.
We owe the Philippines a debt, not
only because of the loyal fight of the
Filipinos against the invading Japa-
.nese, but because we accepted re-
sponsibility for the islands progress
and development when we took them
over with Admiral Dewey's historic
defeat of the Spanish fleet in the
Battle of Manila.
Granted independence and self gov
eminent, the United States has not
been relieved of a major obligation to
help restore the Philippines after the
80
terrible destruction and disorganiza-
ton of the war years. This obliga-
ton is the heavier because, in re.
possessing the islands, great damage
was done by American artillery anc

The Book OF knowledge
DEPARTMENT: - ANIMAL LIFE
THE COYOTE AND
THE JACKAL

Like the wolf, the coyote and the
jackal are wild dogs. The coyote
looks much like a small wolf, but
its big ears and sharp muZzle are
jackal-like. In the animal stories
of the western American Indians,
it is often mentioned as the Wisest
and most cunning of the animals,
like the European fox of the Eu-
rorean stories.
While the great gray wolves re-
treated before the settlers, the
coyotes increased in number and
are now found in many places
where they were not known ear
lier. They do not do the damage
to the larger livestock that the
wolves did, but they often kill
sheep, especially lambs, and they
take many chickens and other
fowl.
1t should not be forgotten. how
ever, that coyotes feed chiefly on
rabbits, ground squirrels and
mice, and by keeping these plant
eating mammals from increasing,
they do a great deal of good for
the farmers.
Coyotes usually hunt in pairs
and often take turns chasing a
jack rabbit-which runs in large
circles. as a rule-until the relay
race tires out or confuses the poor
rabbit.
When hunting prairie dogs, an
