POWER AND PROMP TITUDE ESSENTIAL TO GREATNESS Napoleon Taught Marshals a Valuable Lesson In Punctuality Napoleon once invited his mar shals to dine with him and to dis cuss important matters. As they did not arrive at the moment ap pointed, he began to eat without them. They appeared just as he was rising from the table. "Gentle said he, "dinner is now 9 9 men, over, and we will immediately pro ceed to business. 9 9 It is a rare thing to find a really successful man who has not strong ly developed a habit of promptness. A man who is constantly missing his train, who is late in keeping appointments, and who is habitu ally behind time in meeting his bills, or his paper at the bank creates a distrust in the minds of those who have dealings with him. The whole structure of the busi ness world rests on principles, and promptness is one of the most im portant. A man who is not prompt in meeting his engagements cannot be relied upon, no matter how ■well he means. A man who fails to report promptly for work inconveniences and retards all other workers asso ciated with him—eventually he be comes a drag upon them. No worker can claim for himself the privilege of tardiness without conceding it to all others—and if granted to all, disorder and con fusion predominate. Honesty of purpose alone will not compensate for tardiness. Many young men have failed of promotion or lost good positions be cause of lack of punctuality. There is no more desirable busi ness qualification than this, and no other so indispensable to a man of affairs, or to anyone who would save his own time and that of others. If a man has no regard for the time of other men, ,, sa .^ Horace Greeley, why shou .d he have for their money? What is the l difference between taking a man s > hour or taking Ins $o? There are ! many men to whom each hour of the business day is worth many times $o.

Migratory Bird Law Musf Be Upheld days rule red done has that able do once used hint. lars with still ent the army bus Sportsmen who merit the title in the United States have been much interested in the protection of the migratory birds by the Federal Government. It has long been realized that the conflicting laws employed by the various states have worked havoc with our most valuable game and migratory birds, so the migratory-bird treaty and the Lacey Acts have had the support of every nature lover in this country and in Canada. On April 19, 1920, the Supreme Court of the United States rend ered a decision upholding the con stitutionality of the treaty act. In a suit brought by the State of Missouri against a Federal game warden the Supreme Court held that the Federal game laws were enforceable in a State whose game laws conflicted with the migratory bird treaty act. The court defined the situation in the following paragraph taken from the opinion: "Here a national interest of very nearly the first magnitude is in volved. It can be protected only by national action in concert with that of another power. The subject matter is only transitorily within the state and has not permanent habitat therein. But for the treaty and the statute hcçç soon might be no birds for any power to deal with. We.see nothing in the Con stitution that compels the Govern ment to sit by while a food supply on is cut off and the protectors of our forests and our crops are de stroyed. It is not sufficient to rely finds upon the States. The reliance is are, vain, and were it otherwise the question is whether the United States is forbidden to act.

Thanks to the Service Citizens, the Summer School this year will again have an inspiring program of lectures and music for the enter tainment, instruction and refresh ment of the pupils and, indeed, of the teaching force. The inspiration caught from the best of these lec tures will be felt more and more throughout the school system. Al ready the schools owe much to the Delaware College Summer School, and it is only one of many agencies at Newark tending to hasten the time when Delaware will reach a higher place on the education roster of the Union. Without fuss, show, or cheap self-vàuting, Delaware College goes loyally on with her appointed task of making Delaware what she ought to be, what she long ago ought to have been.—Every Evening. I British Tommies to Wear Red Again Great Britain has decided to adopt the red uniforms of other days for the army—or to readopt them. The khaki was all right for service, and it will still be used in service in time of war or while the troops are campaigning. But the scarlet uniform of old will be the rule when the troops are not en gaged with an enemy. The reason for going back to the red uniform is interesting. It is done in order to get recruits. It has been found since the war ended that the recruiting officers are un able to keep the ranks filled. Men do not go into the army as they once did, and the khaki uniform is given as a reason. It doesn't at tract. It looks too much like real work, if you please. Besides, the women do not rave over it as they used to rave over the gayly be decked soldiers. Students of psychology—and in every branch of human endeavor there are now students of physchol ogy—have given Great. Britain the hint. It will cost millions of dol lars to replace the khaki uniforms with the scarlet ones, but it will still be cheaper than it is at pres ent to keep up the enlistments. Bright red will do the work, they claim, and so again we are to see the "thin red line that extends aroVind the earth," as the British army used to be described.—Colum bus Dispatch. on the farm. electricity was only used in the country for lighting, but every day finds some new application.
