“Crossing the Delaware” is
Not So Easy Now as in 1776

URING the recent “border war-
fare” over Pennsylvania’s law
requiring vehicles from other
states to carry Pennsylvania license
plates, a wit observed that “if Wash-
ington were crossing the Delaware
nowadays, he’d have to take out a
New Jersey license.” :
«Mr. Panepinto’s cartoon 1s 2a
humorous reminder of the very seri-
ous fact that in the medern world it
isn’t safe to take too many liberties
with such things,” says a bulletin of
the Highway Users’ Conference.
«The anti-reciprocity law passed last
summer, made a national joke of
Pennsylvania; yet the influences that
want to keep trucks off the highways
not only oppose its repeal this winter,
but demand further restrictions on
trucks. They propose reducing
weights so greatly as to require a
much larger number of trucks, thus
increasing highway congestion, add-
ing to the expense of deliveries, and
raising the cost of living. :
«Trucks render a service that
would be impossible without them.
The charge that thr competition in-
jures the railroads has been refuted
completely bv the U. S. Bureau of
Fublic Roads The
authority has disproved the

same
that trucks don’t pay ade-
atclyfif'or their use of the high-

va Vv

“Farmers are the largest class of
truck owners, using them chiefly to
carry freight to and from the rail-
roads; yet the railroads insist on
suppressing the trucks! Good roads
would be worse than useless to the
farmers if they couldn’t move their
commodities over them; merchants
couldn’t make deliveries; city and
suburban dwellers couldn’t get their
daily necessaries of life. These roads
were built to take the farmer out of
the mud and make his living easier.
Now the railroads demand that the
farmers be denied their most useful
service. Enormous amounts of rail-
road money are being spent in propa-
ganda to accomplish just this. For-
tunately, people have wakened up
and are protesting to legislators
against such measures. Passenger
car owners have discovered that
trucks pay some 40 per cent. of
license and gasoline taxes; if that
were cut off, the passenger cars
would have to make it up with more
gasoline taxes, higher license fees.
“Texas last winter passed anti-
truck laws demanded by the rail-
roads. Now it turns out that $8,000,-
000 a year of gasoline and license
revenues have been cut off. Penn-
svlvania will have a like experience
if anti-truck laws pass here: higher
taxes, restricted markets, less busi-
ness.”

)B JUDSON went down to
breakfast New Year's morn-
ing with his shirt cuffs
dangling. He had watched
the old year out and the new
year in at his young sister's
< party and had promised to
rn zo skating with the “crowd”
by nine in the morning.
“What in thunder do you mean by
swiping my cuff buttons, Peggy?” he
said to his sister.
“Only this,” cooed Peggy, who was
eighteen and uncommonly pretty. She
held up her hands, showing the cuffs
of a blouse of masculine cut. “I
needed them, dearie, so before you
were awake I came in and got them.
Don’t be huffy, sweetheart, it's New
Year's day.”
“Well, you needn't be so absurdly
good-natured,” growled Bob.
“No, dearest!” said Peggy. “But
it's New Year's day and I've made
some resolutions. One's to be very
good-natured. And I'm beginning on
you. I have made out some for you,
too,” she added.

writing, these resolutions thought by

sins:
Not to flirt.
Not to be scrappy.
Note to be late for dinner—"It an-

Not to be hoggish—This had spe-
cial reference to neckties, fountain
pens, cuff buttons, etc.
Not to get engaged before the next
New Year's day. “Because unattached
men are scarce and we need you in
the bunch to piece out with.”

asked some of the girls to come in this
evening to practice a new dance step.
We're a man short. That is we are a
girl extra. Sally's bringing her cou sin,”
she continued.
Job's social engagements in his own
and his sister's set kept him until
darkness had begun to settle. But, as
he reflected, it was only half past five,
and with half an hour to get home and
dinner at half past six, he would be in
good time. He could boast to Peggy
that he had kept all his resolutions at
least for the day.
He was aware of the fact that there
was a young woman walking hurriedly
beside a man on the opposite side of
the street. Then he saw the young
woman quickly cross the street. She
waved her hand and fairly pounced
upon him with a “Why, Marmaduke,
dear, how glad I am to see you!”
Tom remembered the first resolu-
tion given by Peggy, “Not to flirt.”
“TI thought it was you, Marmaduke,’
said the girl, walking beside him and
laughing gayly. “Of course, you were
on your way to our house, We half
expected you, hut I didn't know you
would come this way.” It seemed to
Tom that the girl was talking very
loudly. And then in an aside she sald,
“Marmaduke Butler's your name.”
Then Tom realized that the man
who had been talking to the girl had
caught up with them,
“Say, who are you?” said the young
man, well dressed, but with his hat
drawn over his eyes.
“Why, I'm Marmaduke
stammered Tom,
“I don't believe it,” snarled the
stranger. “We don’t neither of us
know her. And I came along first.”
Tom did not wait to know what was
coming next. He shook off the girl's
hold, his fists clenched and his muscles
tichtened without volition. The next
minute he had struck out toward the
annoying stranger, and with the third
blow the stranger was prone on the
path.
“Take me home,” whispered the girl,
hoarsely. “It’s 26 Bedford street. Can
you find it?” They hurried on. The
man was soon following them again
as they proceeded.
Tom stood with her on the porch
of the house marked 26 until a servant
came to the door. “May I see you
again?’
“Oh, no,” said the girl. “It would
seem as if I had been very impertinent
if we ever met again. But I shall al-
ways be grateful” Then the door
closed and Tom in much confusion
traced his steps homeward. It was a
quarter to seven when he reached
home.
“Tom, you have broken one of your
resolutions the first thing,” chirped
Peggy.
“I've broken more than one,” said
Tom dismally. “I've flirted with a
rirl, knocked a man over, I've felt as
if I wanted something all to myself,
and if T get half a chance I'll be en-
gaged before next vear. Say, Pezgy,
Sally lives somewhere in Bedford
street, doesn’t she?”
“Twenty-six,” said Pegzy. “And I
shouldn't wonder if you'd better re-
Butler,”

member that, because you'll have to
see Sally’s cousin home. You see, she’s
the extra girl tonight.”
Then the telephone bell rang and
Peggy was absorbed for many min-
utes. She burst in upon Tom in the
dining room, where he was finishing
dinner alone. “Tom, hurry. I am
afraid you'll have to get Sally and her
cousin. Burton James was going to
meet them here and they were coming
alone, but the cousin—Madge is her
name—had the most awfnl experience,
perfectly awful. A man followed her.
They walked along and then he took
her arm, wanted to make a date with
her and everything. Madge didn’t
know what to do, it was so dark and
lonely. But she says the nicest man
came along and saw her difficulty and
knocked the man down and took her
home, then left without letting her
know who he was. Wasn't that splen
did? Now the girls are afraid to come
alone for fear that other man will
meet them.”
Of course, Tom hastened to 26 Bed
ford street, and of course the affair
ripened into a romance, and long be
fore the year was out announcements

were made of the engagement of
Madge and Tom.

Early Rebellion Over
Vast Manorial Estates
The first settled territory in New
York was along the Hudson and con-
sisted of vast estate or manors grant-
ed by the Dutch government to the
patroons. The patroons held the land
in fee and collected rents from the
settlers. At first there was little ob-
jection to the system, but even before
the Revolution trouble had begun. Aft-
er the death of Stephen Van Rensse-
laer, one of the descendants of the
original patroons, the rents fell in ar-
rears and the “anti-renters” organized
to resist payment. The anti-renters,
supported by Seward Whigs and
“Barnburner” Democrats, became a
power in state politics. The state,
however, was beaten in a suit testing
the title of one of the patroons, and
troops were sent to Rensselaersville
to enforce the law. In 1845 an officer
was shot in Delaware county while
trying to collect rents and the gov-
ernor proclaimed the county in a state
of insurrection. The slayer was con-
victed of murder, but later pardoned
by the governor. That was the end of
the “anti-rent” war. Later the manor-
fal estates were broken up.—Pathfind-
er Magazine.
rriendship
In friendship, as in most matters, it
is the little things that count. Not
promises of eternal fidelity, but
thoughtfulness about trifles assure us
that our friend really cares for us.
The one who knows instinctively what
we would like for a gift, what subjects
of conversation may be unpleasant to
ns, what subject we do not like to hear
jested about—who, knowing, too, when
we wish to be silent, humors us in our
wish—that is the one with whom we
love to associate. We can never re-
tain a friend long if we are not willing
to take pains to find out his peculiar
ities and resnect them.—Exchange,

Wrong Ideas of Looks
as Index to Character
Contrasting blonds and brunettes,
Prof, Otis W. Caldwell and Gerhard
E. Lundeen, of the Institute of School
Experimentation at Columbia univer-
sity, who had most of the plain and
embroidered superstitions on the op-
erating table for several months, clear
away much of the fog about these mat-
ters in a report of their studies. They
said:
“Being trustworthy does not depend
upon a person's complexion. Individ-
uals differ in traits of character re-
gardless of complexion. An individ-
ual may develop the general trait of
trustworthiness by forming the habit
of being trustworthy in different situ-
ations, while brunetteness and blond-
ness is determined by heredity.”
When individuals have a square
jaw and also a strong and determined
will, it is merely coincidence, the in-
vestigators found, or a matter of
chance,
“Any individual's honesty,” the re-
port says, ‘cannot safely be deter-
mined by the simple test of ability or
lack of ability to look another person
in the eye. Hardened criminalg can
look the world in the face in spite of
their guilt, and many honest individ-
nals may be unable to do so because
of a nervous disposition or tempera-
ment."
The experimenters asked 918 high
school seniors about the superstition
of knocking on wood, when boasting
of good luck, to keep the luck from
changing, Of the total number ques-
tioned, 91.6 per cent had heard of the
superstition, 20 per cen¥ believed it
was true, 40 either practiced it or were
influenced by it in some other way.
Inventors Baffled by
Dish-Washing Problems
If husbands wipe the dishes, maybe
they will get and invent some
way of keeping house without dishes.
It is the men who have designed all
busy
the devices in the kitchen, from the
cook stove to the electric refrigerator.
Man's watchful eye is always insti-
gating ideas for his “incessant” con-
triving.
3Jut somehow his giant intellect
stands before the prob-
lem of washing dishes. A problem
that has heen the most vexatious to
the feminine soul from the very be-
ginning. The scullery has always
been the hated department of house-
hold tasks. It rides the household
work to this day. A machine for
washing dishes has been provided by
man’s cunning, but it must consume
lots of dishes to he worth while in
the family menage; and woman's
sense of beauty forever bars the
pasteboard substitute that can be
burned after using —F. H. Collier in
the St. Louis Glohe-Democrat.
