ing Children in Germany
and Austria.
BATHING ACCIDENT LAYS
HIM UP AT HOME HERE

After travelling thousands of miles
during the last nine months to and from
Europe and through the length and breadth
of its distracted countries without acci-
dent, ]. Edgar Rhoads, Jr., is back In
Wilmington and confined to his room tenn
porarily by mishap while bathing at n
Rhode Island beach, through cutting his
foot on the sharp edge ot a sea shell.
While the wound is in no way serious, the
doctor advised rest for a day OF two,
which was not unwelcome after the lite oi
activity MIR. Rhoads has been leading. !.
At first vice-chairman, and later IN iull
charge of the American Friends service
committee in cooperation with the
American Relief Administration III Euro
pean Childrens' Fund, Herbert Hoover
chairman with headquarters in Berlin,
MIR. Rho,rds has been in close touch with
the food situation in Germany itself and
also in contact with conditions In nine
other of the neediest countries, through

Mr.. Rhoads, after spending ten days in
England, reached Berlin, with the IA
other members of the group, on January
of this year. He went almost Immediately
to Vienna, stopping at Prague on the
way.
The situation in Austria he found a very
sad one. The need is very great and there
seems to be no way out. During the
progress of the war many of the weak died
Off and many od the strong became weak
encd. The children, the main object OF
relief, showed evidence of retarded growth
and were suffering from diseases having
their root in malnutritlon. Ninety per
cent of Austrian children of school age IN
Vienna are said TO show symptoms OF
tuberculosis, though most of the cases are
in the early and less severe stages as
many as l47 1000, of these children IN
Vienna between the ages Of six and 10 were
helped by food rations many OF whom are
able to get nothing at home.

proportions as To give balanced ra

ing's campaign will go on as planned re-
gardless OF the strategy adopted by the
Democrats it was said here today by
Harry NJ. Daugherty, n member of the
Republican executive committee after a
conference with the nominee.
There was no intention, he declared, of
abandning the front porch policy, though
some speeches would be made. in other
cities.
"The American people" he said, must
not EXPECT campaign of bombast to be
conducted by or in behalf of the Repub-
lican candidate or party. A campaign
of personalities may not be expected, nor
a campaign which appeals to prejudice
but rather campaign of dignity, entirely
appropriate and in harmony with the
temperament of the candidate and the
dignity of the position to which he
aspires,"

DYEMlKERS HOLD
BIGGEST CARNIVAL
Midway, Hydroplane and Ball
Game Entertain Crowd Of
5000 at Carney's Point.

All roads in South Je ey last night led
to Carney's Point. The biggest carnival
in the history of the dyemakers' village
was staged along the river front at the
du Pont Club. where nearly 5000 persons
from the vicinity and other parts o, Salem
county took part in the merrymaking.
For weeks preparations have been under
wav to make the carnival, which was for
the benefit of the du Pont Club, not only
q great financial success, but also one OF
those ENJOYABLE community gatherings
which have been feature during the past
wear of the social and recreational life Of
the Carney's Point district.
One Of the highly interesting features IN
connectn with the carnival was base
ball gane played between the operating
and engineering departments at the dye
works. 1t was fun OF excitement from
beginning to end and enthusiastic rooters
of each team were on hand in great num-
bers to cheer their men to victory. After
eight innings, however, the game resulted
IN a tie. the score being TO 8.
At the carnival itself there was mid
vav with Is or l6 booths. There was a
band concert, and hydroplane which
took passengers up for flights over the
river. The du Pont Club was thrown open
for dancing and a number OF bowling
matches were played
One of the interesting features was the
exhibition of materials dyed with du Pont
dves. These were auctioned off in the
course of the evening.
The du Pont Club has been cepter Of
activity for the social and recreational
doings of the Ckrney's Point people ever
since it was built. During the war,
concerts, lectures, dances and other
gatherings made it point of interest,
not only for people IN and about the vii
laRe. but for Numbers who used to come
from other parts of Salem county. Ac-
tivities have kept up since the war and it
is the purpose OF the officers of the or
ganization to continue 1t IN even larger
degree as center of pleasant community
gatherings.
The carnival last night with its large
attendance was an example of the "get
together spirit" of the residents ol
Carney's Point, who during the past year
had been active in many ways for the
eeneral social welfare, notable among
them. being the work of the Village
Improvement Society, which has inter
eeted large numbers of residents IN the
work of beautifying their homes
The arrangements for the carnival last
n;eht were in the hands of a committee
headed by j. P. Whitney and Georg'
Derrick. secretary of the Club.
