P*. Advertising raten on Application. No Attention paid to unsigned communication*. FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1920. HOME SEEKER-. T Is reported that in some'titles, ineluding Wilmington, moving vaa drivers are being slopped on the streets by home-hunters w ho demand to know where the load of furniture they are hauling came from. Upon receiving the desired information, they hurry to the vacated house to make first claim on it. And more than thaï; Homeless folks arc watching the divorce court news in the papers, and homes that are about to be broken up by divorce are besieged In ad vance by persons eager to move in as soon as the unhappy families move out. It la a mystery to many that there Is shortage of homes today when before the war there was some sort of a place for everybody to live in. To some extent the shortage be ascribed to Uic immigration of country folks Into the cities. To a much greater extent It reflects a rising Standard of living In the new America. I . The new America demands bathtubs and electric lights. Tt regards fresh air and sunlight as the natural right of every child In every home. It calls for sanllary plumb ing and other conditions that make for good health. It demands a strip of backyard with every homo ami a bit of lawn in front, for homes so arranged as to free the housewife from the old drudgery. That Is what the great hunt for homes means, crusade for health, for decent living, for wholesome com fort, for cleanliness, for belter family life. Always honoring Us women, It asks It Is a «SELF DETERMINATION" POPS I P AGAIN. R. WILSON'S much vaunted principle of ""self-deter mination," so loudly proclaimed beforehand during the peace conference, and so completely disregarded when the treaty was written, finds renewed expression In his notes on the Dalmatian question. In the note of February 2ith It Is slated that the President "believes it-to be the central principle fought for In the war that no govern ment or group of governments lias the right to dispose of the territory or to determine the political allegiance M of any tree people." Wh.-n he gave his assent to the treaty Mr. Wilson found no moral difficulty In Including some 3,000,000 in Czceho-Slovakia or in subjecting about 3, Germans 300.000 Ruthenlans to Polish rule without their consent. Even In his own settlement of the Adriatic dlsput«- )Vllson proposes to turn oveç about 400,000 Jugo-SLivs to Italy. The net result of the solution arrived at by Lloyd and Mlllcrand is to present Jugo-Slavla with 130, George 000 people of Its own race while giving Italy 30,000 al an other point. Mr. AVllson will have a difficult, task in Jus tifying his position on the worn out argument of self determination. MORE HARM THAN GOOD. — HK man with a chip on his shoulder usually makes himself a lot of trouble. Obviousness of this frdlsm Is amply Illustrated by the way Major A. V. Dalrymplc, Central Slates prohibition enforcement chief, advertised a "rum rebellion" In North ern Michigan which carried less ''kick'' Ilian a near-beer. There wasn't a rum rebellion.« Fact is. Hie local aulhor llif-s of iron Hiver county were and had been enforcing the prohibition law. Gne of Dalrymple agents, over-zealous to make a record, tried to supercede the local district attorney, failed, com plained to his chief and several hundred dollars of the taxpayers' money was spent In organizing and transport ing to Iron River a perfectly useless army. The most charitable view of the whole ridiculous, hallly, Ill-considered action Is that Major Dalrymple had a chip ci his shoulder. Such public officials usually do the good cause they represent more harm than good. Enforcement of prohibition is no more Important than orderly and, legal conduct on the part of officials charged with It. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer seemed to realize this in recalling Dalrymple. • THE MAN IN THE MOON. ERHAPS, Mr. Wllmlnglnnlan. there's a man In the moon after all. Anyway, Professor W. H. Pickering, command of Harvard's Astronomical observatory on the Island of Jamaica, has stirred up lhe scientists by ad vancing the claim that there's life on Luna. For centuries the astronomers have agreed almost to that the moon was a dead planet; that It has no In a man atmosphere, no trace of moisture, not even soil; that It Is alternately baked by fierce sun rays, and tortured by far below zero frigidity. The moon's day Is, In earth time, 14 days and 18. hours long..One long moon day is red hot, Hie next deadly cold. The astronomers believed that thc-ie conditions made life of any kind impossible; also that Hie said conditions bave long since turned any soil there might once have been On the moon to solid stone. Professor Pickering Is some astronomer, however. He is, in fact. Harvard's best. Since about 1895 he has been studying the moon constantly. He has photographed the old girl thousands of limes. He has written books about her and mapped her, and the best atlas of her was pub lished by Professor Pickering. The moon's most interesting physical fact through the telescope are its craters, round depressions. There are variously estimated to be 100,000 to 200.000 of them and their diameters run up to sixty miles Professor Pickering has 1)ad his eye glued on the crater railed Eratosthenes, thirty-eight mips across, for a long time, and he now announces that the floor-of Eratosthenes—a plain—fre quently changes its appearance. During 'the long lunar day, the plain gets darker and darker, and Pickering thinks that this can only come from the growth of vege tation under the influence of the sun. If there's vegeta hun, w hy not human life ? So far the other astronomers will have none of it. They in- -t poor old Lady Luna is a dead and burled corpse, und they absolutely refuses to grant her the boon ■< resurre lion and life. REPEATING His BLINDERS IN III! (»HUM. C HARLES R.

T IMELY attention Is called by the Bryn Mawr Endow ment Committee to the fact that teacherless colleges are what the Legislatures of vartous States now are try ing to avert In the United States. That Is something which of necessity, because of Delaware College and the Women's College of Delaware, interests Delawareans. Attention Is called to the fact that recent reports to the offices of several leading college endowment cam paigns In New York indicate that thousands of graduates throughout the country have begun oo-operatlon to ward off a calamity which President William Allan Nellson, of Smith College, Northampton, Mass., has described as "the possibility of the annihilation of a profession." President Schurman, of Cornell, echoes the Harvard slogan: "Today the man who minds the train gets more pay than the man who trains the mind." Other than through State Legislatures colleges have only one way of escaping financial ruin, according to the belief of leading educators; namely, through Hie appeal to graduates for Increased endowment funds. Many In stitutions arc depending entirely on this method. Brj'n Mawr Is asking 12,000,000; Smith, the largest college for In the world, Is seeking »4, 000,000; Mount Holyoke, And women South Hadley, Mas»., needs «3.000,000; Barnard College, of New York, calls for 8300.000, and other home» of learning are trying to collect larger or smaller amounls.Mj Delaware College and the Women's College of Delaware Both also nerd legislative and individual aid. Tt)e list of needy colleges, which range from Harvard with 3(>,000 living alumni to Reed College, Oregon, With 138, Includes establishments in all parts of the country. The amount sought varies from 5100,000 to 815,230,000, but Hair plights are all alike; the high cost of living and the increased expense of operating has caused all endowed colleges, ards of inslruction, to go out for more money. In raro instances only is an Increased tuition fee even considered because Hie doors must be kept open to the rich and poor alike. m Among the colleges wbioh bave sent out appeals for aid arc Delaware, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fordham, Tufts, Bowdoln, New Y'orlf University, Reed College and Lcland Stanford. Nine colleges in Ohio have united in their appeals, as did several In Colorado and Iowa. Among Hie smaller colleges Is Tusculum at Greenwich, Tenu., whose 240 alumni have set out to raise half a million. Phillips Exeter Academy, at Exeter. N. H„ was at the head of the list of preparatory schools seeking fund». about 250,000 college graduates In all parts of the world. Among the Stales which have taken action toward appropriating in ov money fop higher education are California. Montana, Smith Dakota, Michigan. Utah, Iowa, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Ala bama and Ne\y Mexico. In California the State Board of Control has obtained the passage of a bill appropriating $130,000 to meet the present high cost of education. The Montana Legisla ture has Increased the salaries of the more poorly paid Instructors at the University of Montana from live to ten per rent. Ill South Dakota It I» reported that "appropria tions for education arc being steadily added to," while In Michigan, Hie Legislature has voteil a special Increase of $330,000 for salaries In the State'university alone. The Michigan State normal schools have also been granted an Increase of $300 a year /or the teaching staff». For the needs of Hie University of Pennsylvania, the State Legislature has voted $1,000,000, an Increase of $130,000 over the previous appropriation. Simlliarly, the North Carolina legislators have Increased the allowance for the Stale from »165,000 to 8213,000. In Wisconsin the high cost of living also has been taken into account with the granting of $200.000 for the State university more than ever beforehand an increase of $100,000 for the normal schools. Alabama reports that the appropriation for the Slate Institution,» of education will be "greater than ever before." In Now Mexico the appropriations of the last three years have brought a forty per cent, in crease for Slate colleges. smaller than All these appeals. It is estimated, have reached Increases by Legislatures are necessarily smaller than the funds sought by the private colleges and université s because Hie latter are endeavoring to establish funds which will yield an annual Income, Instead of trying merely to raise enough money to cover .current deficits.. Miss Helen Taft, acting president of Bryn Mawr Col lege, in addressing an alumnae conference recently rela tive to seeking funds to Increase the pay of Hie Bryn Mawr faculty, said that It would be better for the college professors to unite to demand higher pay and even per haps to strike as a body rather than IJjat they would strike Individually by leaving the profession. A college professors' union was chartered last April by Hie American Federation of Labor, movement was started to include as members professors from the sixteen collegiate institutions in New York City. Local unions have already been established, It Is said, al the University of Illinois, the University of Montana, the University of Missouri, Harvard University and Wash bum College. Most of the professors In sympathy with the movement believe that affiliation with labor offers their only means of obtaining more satisfactory condl In December a lions. Most of the educational Institutions throughout the country are proud of pointing to the loyally of their teaching staffs and of asserting that no discontent exists. The authorities realize, however, that only adequate pay will remove any likelihood of future disagreements. And they feci, too, that only through education can the spirit of radicalism be curbed. Both the Delaware Legislature and Delawareans have Important duly to perform with respect to the pro fessors and teachers In our two Institutions In Newark. an If they really banish Wilhelm to the Island of Curacao they should change the name to Curakalser.

TUF, LEGIO V FOR TRAINING (From the New York Sun.) If the politicians thought that univer sal military training was shelved by the evasive action of the House of Repre snntatives on February 23, they now ... flnd that they will have to reckon wltli the American Legion. That 'organisa tion, which has a membership of con siderably more than a million veterans ... , . ■ • . of the war and Is growing in strength every day, has decided to make an inten she campaign for universal training In every Congressional district. The rose lion was made the day after the „ , „ . . . . . . . House of Representatives Hied to bury the Issue out of sight by reference of it to a "friendly" committee, not named, which was to inquire into Hie cost and economic effects of a system of training ami report lihek a suitable bill some time or other. But the issue had a great «leal more life In It than the time servers, trimmers and pacifists believed. I hey h it the American Legion out of thing to do In these days so soon after ion"*!,'. ! 10 Jr7i l ? r "* L -?r n aP b going to take off their coats and woik for the diseased remedy for unpre parertness. In the wonls of Fliomas \\. Miller, of Wilmington, Del., a former member of Congress and now rlialrman of the American Legion's Military Pol icy Committee: The Legion feels that eventually the country will realize that a sane universal training program, with a small regular army and a National Guard operating under the plan pro posed in the Wadsworth bill, will be of less cost to the country per year than 1 tic present system of a largo regular army and a National Guard operated under lhe National Defense act. In the straightforward and vigorous speech for universal training which General Leonard Wood made at Sioux Falls, S. D., on the very day that the House of Representatives put the issue aside, the General made a prediction: Whether we do it or not will he left, I think, to the action of the American Legion; to the men who have been through the war, both at home and abroad. They are all < n . titled to equal consideration: they know'what they have gone through, and they know what the. country needs. They are not soldiers any more; they have gone back to the great civil body. 1 think II is a great ileal belter for them to indorse it than It is for those who are more or less permanently in the service, and I think that it is one of the things they will act upon and their advice will be listened to by our people. General Wood tol«l his audience, which "fairly shook the rafters of the Coliseum" with applause, exactly what universal training was, and his descrip tion of it was very different from the militaristic picture drawn by the poli ticians, who are afraid of it. General Wood was not afraid of It. and he did not weigh the effect of his outspoken ni-ss upon tils political fortunes. A franker and more intimate talk an audience at a political meeting lias sel dom listened to. The health and phy sical, mental and moral improvement of young men whfl would undergo a system of military training in responsi ble liands, a thoroughly American sys tem, he dwelt upon in terms there was no misunderstanding.
