He goes on to express the opinion,
in fact, that less than one-third of
these unemployed "persons are "the
principal bread-winners of families."

Jence of growing restlessness among

Jally no unity at Washington, and the
President seems helpless to improve
tne situation. The House and Senate

Neither is in harmony with the Cabi

plorable lack of concert. Lodge, who

transferred to the disarmament con
ference. Penrose no longer is able to
command party allegiance. The whole

Premier Lloyd George has can
celled arrangefnehts for the Inverness
conference bn. peape with Ireland. The
situation apparently has reverted to
status practically identical with
that existing when the negotiations
were begun.
Mr. De Valera sent ' emissaries to
the British premier "with a letter in
which it was stated that Ireland's
delegates would enter the conference
only as the representatives of an in
dependent, sovereign state.. Cancella
tion of arrangements for the confer
ence is not surprising in view' of that
condition. Acceptance would neces
sarily, as Mr Lloyd George points out
in his reply," have amounted to an of
ficial recognition nf 'Trela-nrt'a
ance. -The " Irish leader knew, of
course, that tacit recognition of Irish
naependence would be carried by an
agreement ,to the 'condition he ' laid
down, and it would appear that he was
entertaining 'the hope of catching the
British premier in a moment of ab
straction. V' V ' .,v ' - :V

PLEADS FOR ni.n trci?c
Editor of The Star:
As a WilminartonJan 9ht in
but ever present in sdrit anrt intAr.o
and a daily reader of The Star. I wish
to add to Mr. Meare Harriss' courteous
letter to the Countv
plea for the preservation, in the pro
posed widening of the Turnpike, of the
causeway and the old cedars.
Just how this can be done, if in this
age of high power locomotion the
causeway is too narrow for safety I
do not know, and I am quite willing
to leave it to the Commissioners who
have already given Xew Hanover roads
as good as any. and as attractive. But
I do most earnestly hope that the
causeway and the old trees will not
only be left exactly as they are. but
may be preserved as much as possible
against the ravages of time.
A few weeks ago I went on a swift
motor trip through Frederick County, j
which is the richest ani n f tv, 2
most beautiful and progressive coun-
.naryiana. Our way lav of
course over the well known "t,.,
Bridge," so called because its builder I

at the entrance. Fantant
told of the wonderful liouids that t
has safely hidden away at different
periods of its long life, "his bridge
is anything but wide, and in both the
structure itself and its approach there
Is a decided curve. But I am quite sure
that nothing could be offered to induce
the stewards of the county to either
remove or remodel this old landmark.
And it is so everywhere todav a
community that possesses anything
unique, individual or historical, any
thing savoring of another stage of ex

THE SPEED FIELDS
Editor of The Star:
It seems that the penalties that Re
order George Harriss isVhandine out
to the speeders has not affected a
large number of the local "speed
artists." In way of a relief from this
dangerous habit, why would it not be a
good idea to have a "No Speed Week,"
or 8- "No Accident Week" or a "No
Speeding Week." and see if these
people who insist taking their own
lives, as well as other citizens, in their
hands Just for the sake of a little
speeding in their autos, cannot refrain
for a short period.
It looks as though some sort of cam
paign as this would be beneficial to
the community, both in DroteetinB- th
general public and also in supressing.
at least for a short time, the speed
craze that has -Wilmington in its grasp.
You, through the columns of your
splendid paper, could do quite a bit In
this way, and I sincerely believe that
it would have the suport of tne gen
eral public. - a "CITIZEN.
