been adequate for the positions. and
the ticket selected is one well balanc-

the public without remuneration In

While several of the men nominat-

given them by the nominating con-

LLLOOK AFTER
INTERESTS OF EX-
SERVICE MEN
American Legion Takes Steps
to Safeguard Disabled
Soldiers

Important matters concerning
the interest and welfare of ex-
service men were discussed ait a
meeting Of the executive commit
tee of the American Legion held
at Dover last week.
1t has come to the attention of
the Legion that some former serv-
ice men i'm the State who are
afflicted as the result of their war
experience are not receiving pro-
per care and attention. The ex-
ecutive committee will petition
both Governor Townsend and
Governor-elect Denney to- appoint
a man in each county to look after
such afflicted men.
1t was agreed to appoint a
legislative committee to look after
matters at the coming session of
the Legislature in the interest of
former service men. Thomas W..
Miller, of Wilmington, was ap-
pointed chairman of the commit
tee, and will select his assistants.
One of the main matters of legis-
lation will be that of a State
bonus.
Another matter of interest to
ex-service men will be incorpo-
rated in bill known as the "Sol-
diers' Precedent Bill" in which
State and municipal officers will
be instructed to give preference
to former service mem in making
appointments.
The labor situation was also
discussed and a request will be
sent to all manufacturer asking
them that they give preference in
employment to ex-service men.
The executive committee en-
dorsed the proposed national
bonus law.
Captain w. w. Millman, of
Association Service Mems Organ
ization of Pennsylvania, was pres
ent and presented a plan whereby
five reels of moving pictures of
the recent world war, which had
been previously censored, will be
available. 1t was planned by the
committee to have these reels ex-
hibited in Wilmington from Janu-
airy l to 8, and possibly to be
shown in Dover january II, IL
and 13.
Plans were inaugurated for q

MAY PLACE SIGNALS
ON ALL HIGHWAYS

Signals for the guidance of au-
tomobile traffic over Delaware
roads are proposed by State High
way Engineer Charles M. Upham,
who has returned from Washing
ton, where he attended the meet
ing of the National Highway
Commission.
Mr.. Upham said two sample
signal lamps will shortly be in
stalled at points to be selected,
in order to demonstrate their
working and to secure the opinion
of the automobiling public as to
the acceptance Of an offer receiv-
ed from the American Gas Co. for
installing similar lights ait all
dangerous crossings in the State
in consideration of the advertis-
ing privilege on the standards.
The code recommended fol
such road warming lights is as
follows:
(a) Red, indicating first degree
danger, to be used at railroad
crossings, dead ends of roads OF
lift bridges. All traffic should
come ito a dead stop and proceed
only after danger is determined.
(b) Yellow, indicating secone
degree danger, at curves ano
grades; slow down and proceed
cautiously. ...
(c) Green, indicating moving
or traffic danger only, and to be
used at road intersections.

Drove His Master to Market

The morning was cold and
foggy when old Farmer Giles and
his man started out to drive a
bullock into market. The farmer
being uncommonly stout left the
work to his employe.
After tramping about eight
miles in silence, hardly able to
see each other for the fog, the
man was startled to hear voice
lust in front of him exclaim:
"We're getting along in good
style, aren't we, Bill?"
"Lordy!" cried the farm hand
"Be that you, maister? Whoy, All
bin a-drovin ye for the last
hourw
And the bullock had vanished
in the fog, while Bill herded his
bulky master to market.

TO MAKE NATURAL ICE
Bulletin Tells of Several Ways
to Do This at Home.

To make naturaI ice, one es-
sential is water, and the other is
freezing weather. The trouble is
that in many cases there is plenty
of the right kind of weather, but
little or none of the water, at
least the kind of water that will
be still long enough to be frozen.
There are several ways of getting
around this difficulty, according
to Harvesting and Storing Ice on
the Farm" a Farmers Bulletin
issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Making an Ice Pond
Suppose a farmer finds no suit-
able lake or pond in his neighbor-
hood. He can create an artificial
lake by diverting a stream into an
excavation, or by building a dam
across a low piece of ground.
Some farmers have made artificial
lakes in their front yards, and
they have been pretty in summer
as we'll as useful i'm winter. One
thing that must not he forgotten
is to keep these lakes pure and
clean. How to- do that is describ-
ed in the bulletin.
But suppose farmer has no
place for a lake, although cold
weather prevails in his part of
the country for several weeks at
time. He can freeze his ice in
metal cans or special paper bags.
"The cans may be made in any
convenient size by a local tin
smith," says the bulletin, "and
should be of galvanized iron, re-
inforced at top and bottom with
iron strips.
"The bottom is made smaller
than the top to make the removal
of the ice easier. The cans are
placed near the water supply,
filled with water, and left exposed
to the weather. A shell of ice
. soon freezes around the inner sur
Z, face, and when the she'll is from
~ to 2 inches thick, hot water is
poured over the outside of the
can and the shell removed. A hole
is broken through at the top of
the shell and most of the water
inside is then poured out. AS the
freezing progresses water is pour
ed into the she'll, little at a
time, until a solid block of ice is
produced. By this method only q
few cans are required, which
keeps the cost low.
about the same method is EN-
: ployed when special paper bags
y are used, although they do no
: last so long as the cans. The ad
: vantage of the bags over tht
y metal cans is mainly in cheapness
for they are not so convenient I'll
handle.
: Another method that can b'
l. used i'm very cold sections of th'
I United States is to run water int
II the ice house and let laye
q freeze. This is done by first con
= structing "a dam of snow aroun'
u the floor of the house 10 or l.
Il inches from the walls in order t
e allow sawdust Insulation next t
$ the walls. The interior of tn
house is then flooded with a fey
VI inches of water, which 500
70 freezes, the procedure being re
peated until the house lis file
e with ice. 1t is then covered wit
u sawdust and closed up until ice
;, needed. A great disadvantage 0
u this method is that in order to re
~ move ice it must be cut or chop
ped out with AN ak, which result
u in uneven and irregular piece
u and considerable waste of ice"
