New Owner OF New Am.tel MAGAZINE

Delaware's one monthly publ
cation, The New Amstel Maga-
zine, has recently changed owner
ship and editorship. 1t is now
under the management OF wo-
man-Miss Muriel Bailey. The
first issue represents only about
one-third the size it is intended to
be.
Miss Baily was born in Califor-
MIA, began her career as writer
on the San Francisco Examiner,
has travelled through Japan,
China, the Philippines and the Pa
cific Islands and for several wears
studied finance and banking and
wrote on those subjects for fnan-
cia! papers throughout the coun-
try. The New Amstel will here
after be devoted entirely to sub
jects connected with advertising
and exploitation of Delaware, and
it will aim to do for the Diamond
State what the western magazines
have done for the far West.

present at II O'Clock, but Prot.
Spaid said that in all there were
about Is to take the examination.
The next one will be held under
the new rules made by the State
Board of Education appointed un-
der a recent law.
The outlook, according to Pro-
lessor Spaid, is very good lor a
plentiful supply of teachers in the
schools next year. The call Tor
candidates has been answered by
large number, and it is thought
that the larger part of the women
who took the examinations will
qualify for positions. The school
commissioners are now sending in
their teachers contracts.

HEART CHEER

"The effort to be always cheer
full, kind, considerate and gentle,
no matter what wars may be rank
ling in the heart, has great in
tluence in Transforming life.
| know a lady who has made 1t
a habit of her life to radlate snh-
shine everywhere she goes. She
says that a smile costs nothing.
The result is that everybody who
waits upon her or does anything
for her feels it real favor to
serve her, because he is always
sure of getting the indescribably
sweet smile and expression in re-
turn.
What satisfaction it is to go
through lie 'raIliating sunshine
and hope, instead of despair, en-
couragement instead of discour-
agement, and to feel conscious
that even the newsboy or the boot
black, the car conductor, the office
boy, the elevator boy, or anybody
else with whom one comes in con-
tact, gets little dash Of sunshine.
1t costs nothing when you buy a
paper of boy, or get your shoes
shined, or pass into an elevator, or
give your fare to a conductor, to
give smile with il, to make these
people feel that you have a warm
heart and goodwill. Such saluta-
tons will mean more to us than
many of the so-called great things.
1t is the small change of life. Give
it out freely. The more you give,
the richer you will grow"

JOY will rest,

VEGETABLE CANNING
Sea.onable Recipes And Rules


1t is quite possible for an or
dinarily careful housewife to can
vegetables with success, and sup
ply OF canned vegetables is quite as
useful and perhaps more whole
some than supply of canned and
preserved fruits.
1t is necessary for the vegetable
to be fresh and clean, that the jars,
lids and rubbers shall be perfectly
clean. Glass lids are more desir-
able than the metal tops, though
not at all essential. 1t is always a
safer plan to use new rubbers.
An ordinary wash-boiler, with
false bottom of board and with a
light lid answers satisfactorily as
a sterilizer.
The process of sterilization
should, if properly done, consist in
boiling an hour each day for three
days, as all the germs are not sup
posed to be killed at one heating,
but three or four hours boiling on
one day gives good results.
A clean method and safe
guard against the action OF light
and air upon the rubbers, is to dip
the jars, when cool, top down, be-
low the rubber, in melted PARA

SH|VE[Y TALKS
SHIP SUBSIDY
OPPOSES THE PROPOSITION AND
SAYS SUPREMACY OF AMERICAN
SHIPPING is INCAPABLE OF
RESTORATION.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Opposing the
ocean mail bounty, Senator Shively. of
Indiana, took the position in the SEN
ate Thursday that the supremacy OF
American shipping was incapable OF
restoration by subsidy or bounty. He
advanced the opinion that the only
means of accomplishing that end
was through the repeal of the ship
ping laws. the abolition Of medieval
ordinances known as our navigation
code.
1t was asserted that a vast majority
of these laws had been imported bod
lily from the British code. Explain
ing the adoption of these laws, hun
dred years ago, the Indiana senator
said:
New England was pursuing navi-
cation and desired legislation that
should enable her to engross the deep
sea coastwise trade Of the young re-
public. Besides she long had been
and then was profi-ably employed in
importing nolasses from the West
Indies, distilling it into rum, trading
the rum for darkies on the coast of
East Africa and selling them as
slaves in Southern ports. The situa-
ton in the country became ripe for
negotiations, compromise and bargain

trade and slavery coalesced: and the

and declared that little could be done
for its rehabilitation so long as they
were in the books. AS going to show
that the condition of American ship
ping would not be improved by sub
sidy, Mr.. Shively said that while
under the law of 1891 the United
States has been paying 165 per cent
more for carrying the mails in Ameri-
can than in foreign vessels, the dis,
elimination had been of NO avail.
For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1870" he said, the proportion of our
foreign commerce carried in Ameri-
can bottoms was IS "a per cent. For
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1910,
this proportion had fallen to g 40
per cent. Whatever occasional slight
reaction appears, the general course
has been persistenly and swiftly
downward, Nor is there persuasive
evidence that these disbursements
from the federal treasury over and
above the open market price have

Everything had gone awry with the
Chinese in the little town OF NJ
on. the coast. A strange sickness had
seized many of them and while none
had gone to join their ancestors 1t had
left them weak and scarcely able
to crawl.
To make it worse. the pay car had
not come at the usual time and their
amount of provisions was very smal.
The weather, too, had been unuSu-
ally stormy and those who were ply
sically able to work on the grade
could not do so.
They assembled in the largest nut
to talk the matter over.
A terrible storm was raging. terrlfhc
peals of thunder accompanied with
vivid flashes of lightning were almost
continuous, the wind blew a gale and
the trees swayej, bent and snapped
with a cannon like report.
The Chinese crowded together In

the yellow faced paled with fright as
peal after peal of thunder crashed
over them and rolled away in the
distance.
Not a word was uttered. not a
sound was made by them until a lull

Trembling voice made a speech, the

Finds Fault.
Finding especial fault with the de-
NAL Of American registry to foreign
built ships though owned by Anleri-
can citizens, Mr.. Shively said that
in 1849 Great Britain had repeat
ed the code that we had copied, where
as we retained it with the result that
the American merchant marine was
destroyed.
England" he said, recognized
as paramount, reinforced it with tools
from the ship yards of the United
States, saved her merchant marine
and with it her shipbuilding industry,
We made the shipbuilding interest
paramount, sacrificed our merchant
marine to it and our shipbuilding for
the ocean trade disappeared with it"
Referring again to the ancient orr
gin Of the code and saying that the
United States alone Of all nations
retains it, Mr.. Shively said:
Since then molasses and rum have
lost their significance. The slave
trade has gone Slavery itself has
passed away Advancement has been
made in the physical science and me-
chanical arts. Everywhere mankind
is Harvesting the forces Of nature
