SPRING DAYS LEAD TO TRUANCY

Children of Wayne county misbehave more . frequently In the spring than during "any other season. In the fair of the year they are the best be-

naved.

Records of the board of children's guardians show that this is true. Mrs. Eliazbeth Candler, probation offier, said today - that such had been her

observation.'.

March" and" April seem to be the worst months of the year in the number of delinquents reported to the probation officer. . In March 1915, , five cases were handled by Mrs. Candler, which was more than in any other one month in the year. In April, 1915, four cases were reported to her and Investigated. .Last month, three delinquents were invstigated.

( John Melpolder, truant officer,' said today that he expects the number of truants to increase during the month

jot April as has been the case in the i nast " Th dpclro nf IhA children' to

DUPONT, A NEW PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

I A: Sale of 500 Brand New

Enter a new candidate for the Republican presidential Domination in the person of Thomas Coleman DuPont, of Delaware. With the Republican national convention barely two months in the future the G. O. P. seems utterly at a loss as to what man to name for President. There are- a dozen hats in the ring, but none that carries the plume of a winner like the white

plume of Henry of Navarrs. Hence.

a new contender for presidential honors becomes an object . of immediate and widespread interest. General DuPont, accordingly, has the spotlight. Ha is hailed as a candidate upon whom the business men of the country big business men and small, laboring men and farmers, who, after all, are the most important business men in the country can unite. DuPont himself has been a success in many line of endeavor. As a miner and a member of the miners' union he spent two years with a pick and shovel at the 30b of digging roal mining engineer and mine operator, builder of steair. and electric railroads, director of great industrial corporations and the genius who gave New York one of its greatest hotels and its greatest office building, his career has been one of nnatruirtintv. lla is essentially a

creator and a bufkler. and never a speculator. Fought for Clean Politics. In politics his labors have been equally constructive. He has always stood and fought for dean politics

and for progress along real progres

sive lines. When J. tdward Addicks, familiarly known as "Gas" Addicks, undertook to tuck the state of Delaware in his vest pocket and make himself United States Senator, it took Thomas Coleman DuPont, first as a member and then as chairman of the Renublkan State Committee, to purge the state of Addicksism and effect the political regeneration of Delaware. Later, as a member of the Republican National Committee, General DuPont stood with the Roosevelt forces in the memorable fight of 1912 at Chicago. He was one of the fifteen members' of the Committee who voted for the seating of Roosevelt delegates. He did not follow Colonel Roosevelt into the Progressive party his loyalty to and faith in 'the Republican party was too strong for that. Personally, General DuPont is six feet three , in height and weighs above the two hundred mark. He is what the late Alfred Henry Lewis would have called "a groat big, twofisted, he-man." Blue-eyed and square-jawed, he is a born fighter. Bit antecedents he is an aristocrat.

as was Thomas Jefferson, yet he is one qf the most democratic of men a democrat with a small "d," but at the same time a Republican with a big "R." One of his greatest interests is road building. He has proposed to give the people of Delaware a boulevard, 200 feet wide and 100 miles long, running from one end of the state to the other, and in the work on this road he has lived with the builders and run a road roller with his own hands. General DuPont was formerly at the head of the great powder making concern that bears the family name, but he severed his connection with it at the outbreak of the European war. He said he did not want to be identified with the manufacture of powder for use in foreign warR. Sentiment, however, has led him to make a summer home of the old stone mill on the Brandywine where his forefathers ground the powder that was sent out through the wilderness of the Middle

i West a century ago to enable Commodore Perry to win the battle of Lake Erie. General DuPont is in his prime fifty-three years of age and fit for a great political fight. He himself I has not yet said that he is a candij date for President, but if he enters the lists it is a foregone conclusion jthat he will be a big factor in what Ihanoens at Chicaeo next June.
