PLEADS WITH VETERANS
TO BECOME LEADERS
Senator Underwood Urges Men of the
World War to Fight Against the
Dangers That Threaten
the Republic.

Birmingham, Ala, July li-Declar
ing that the government has become
the football of the partisan and the
desire of the plunderer, United States
Senator Underwood in an address yes.
terdsy at the reunion of the Rainbow
division, pleaded with the World war
veterans to become leaders in the fight
against dangers which he said are
threatening the republic
The dawn of a new era, said the SEN
ator, has brought changes which have
confused the march of progress and
obscured the principle upon which the
nation was founded. Veterans of the
World war, he suggested, have not real
ly been mustered out OF service, but
have been furloughed to serve again
'for the safety of our common herl-
tage."
1--WE are standing in the dawn of a
new era of our republic Senator I'm
derwood declared. THE tremendous
force of new ideas and new conditions
must be solved. Apparently no plan
remains steadfast and no policy is APP
proved. The government has become
the football of the partisan and the de
sire of the plunderer.
Business is uncertain in the grip
of heavy taxation and our commerce
halts under the limitation of transpor-
tation. Men are flocking TO the great
cities for high wages, and the farms
lie fallow for want of labor. The war
profiteer glories in his new wealth and
the high cost of living threatens the
humble home The rule of even hand
ed Justice is endangered and legisla
lation for special classes is the demand
Of the hour. Anarchy threatens to
strike down the law and the will of
the mob detes the peace of the land.
"Where can we better turn to find
the leaders to pilot the nation out of
the doubts and dangers that seem to
threaten US than by looking with con
fidence to the courageous soldiers who
saved our honor and followed our flag
on the battIefelds OF France in the
great war; Men OF the Rainbow diyi-
sion. Won who served and sacrificed on
the field of battle as volunteers at
your country's call, are you really
mustered out of your country's service.
or have YOU been furloughed 10 serve
and sacrifice again as citizens of the
republic for the honor Of your country,
the glory of Cur flag, and the safety
of our common heritage"

CAMPHOR FARMING.
Should Be Raised Instead of Imported
Florida Has Two Farms.

There is mo reason why the United
own eamphor, and considerable progress
has already been made toward this end,
Our earliest camphor farm is now SO
years old, and the latest is also the
largest, including some 10000 trees.
Both of these are in Florida. The
wasteful Chinese process OF destroying
the whole tree to reclaim its gum Is
not now followed. Only leaves and
small twigs are harvested, and cam
phor- farm is treated, not like timber
forest. but like an orchard. We quote
below from an article in The Du Pont
Magazine Wilmington, Deli Says the
writer:
with the approach of winter, house
wives begin to arrange, on the cup
board shelf, various home remedies that
are so useful when the youngsters ex-
hibit the first evidence of colds. You
may depend on it that a camphor' bot.
tie will stand in the front rank There
is nothing of apparent interest in the
crystal-elear liquid except its medicinal
properties, yet in its manufacture there
are several interesting facts that the
average housekeeper knows little about.
The youngsters know only that it is
good for colds and that, when com
pounded with sugar on teaspoon, the
dose contains far too little sugar in
proportion to the camphor, even if only
drop from the bottle is added.
"A great deal of the camphor used
in the United States is imported from
Japan and the island of Formosa. How
ever, the camphor industry in China
is an important one, in which both
family and governmental interests are
involved. Families are principally in
terested in the joint ownership of trees.
II is not uncommon for a family that
numbers a. many az 1000 people, con
siderng both direct and collateral re-
lations, to hold an equity ownership in
a single camphor tree.
Before such tree can be sold, how
ever. license must be obtained from
the central government authorities, and
also from the local officials. After per
mission to sell tree is secured, the
sale takes place. and tlf' proceeds,
which average 1928 for a tree, are di-
yided among the owners with regard
TO their several equities.
Unfortunately, in China the prac-
tice of manufacturing camphor results
in the destruction of the tree. First
the tree is felled and the trunk chopped
into small pieces or chips of convenient
size for the retorts. When the retort
is flied, water is added. and a fire Is
built TO carry ON the simple distilla-
tion process. The camphor volatilizes
under the action of the steam. passes
through condenser. usually bamboo
pipe. and terminates in wooden tub of
cool water. where it is collected as cam
phor oils. II is primitive process in
China and a wastefnl one, for although
the upper branches and leaves do not
contain as much camphor as the larger
members of the tree, the Chinese lose
some of the product when leaves and
branches are used for fuel
Notwithstanding the primitive means
employed and the loss Of part OF the
product. the average yield Of a tree. we
are told, is about one half ton Of cam
phor-enough to provide spirits for ev-

series of community meetings dur
ing the coming year. The arrange
ment Of these was put into the
hands of the Public Interest Com
mittee of which Warren A. Singles
is chairman. Miss Jennie Smith
and E. B. Wright comprise the
rest of the committee. After the
business meeting the executive
board went into session and chose
three members as an advisory board
to assist them in determining the
policies for the year. Misses Eta
J. Wilson, Alice Kerr and Ira
Steele were chosen.
Committees Appointed
Several committees were formed {:
Mrs. H. N. Reed was chosen chair
man Of the social committee. She
will choose her own aides.
Miss Anna Gallaher was chosen
chairman of the Self Culture COM
mitttee, which will urge the reading
of two books this year for self-im-
provement. Clarence Evans and
johnson Rowan are the other men,
bers Of This committee.
After the business meeting the
members returned to the large dim
ing room, where a delightful dance
was held, the music for which was
furnished by an orchestra under
direction of Paul Steel.
The social committee which had
charge of the successful affair, in
conjunction with the executive
committee, were the following :
Mrs. Wilmer Hill, Wallace Cook,
Misses Gertrude Hill, Mildred
Ferguson and Ethel Campbell.

generosity of the college in offering
the hospitality of the building,

efforts toward spreading the idea
of a child's bank for his college
education; (2) that they stand
solidly back of the movement to
secure a new school building, and
(3) that they create ideals within
this building, which will lack the
ideals and traditions Of the old
buildings.
Officers Elected for the Year
Directly following the banquet a
business meeting was held in the
chapel room at which the following
officers were elected:
President-Wallace Cook.
Vice-president-L- w. Ramsey.
Recording Secretary-Mrs. Huey
Morris.
Corresponding Secretary-Bessie
Whittingham.
Treasurer-Warren A. Singles.
A motion was made and unani-
mously carried, that the sentiment
of the meeting be expressed as
urging the necessity for a new
school building. A committee of
five, Mrs. G. D. Grant, Misses Wini.
fred Fader, Catherine Steel, Ethel

pointed to frame a resolution to
that effect and present the same to
the school authorities.

Faculties Give Reception
To DR.. and Mrs. Mitchell

The faculties of both colleges on
Friday evening united to tender to
DR.. and Mrs. S. c. Mitchell a fare
well reception and to present to
them token of their regard. The
affair was held in the Lounge at
Old College.
DR.. w. Owen Sypherd, president
of the Faculty Cluo, in a brief
speech introduced DR.. George A.
Harter, DR.. Mitchell's predecessor,
who on behalf Of the combined
faculties presented to DR.. and Mrs.
Mitchell, a handsome oil painting
by Stanley M. Arthurs. A scene
along the Shenandoah Valley made
famous by John Browns i'll fated
raid is depicted. DR.. Harter, who
was chairman of the committee
which chose the gift, thought it
would be most appropriate to pre-
sent the outgoing president with a
sketch by the talented Delaware
artist, whose historical paintings
decorate Old College. In the pre-
sentation speech he emphasized the
cordial relations that have existed
between the president and the men,
bers Of the faculty during the six
years of faithful service to the
cause Of education given by DR..
Mitchell in the State. He expressed
the regret of the faculties at the
presidents leaving and extended
their best wishes for success in his
chosen field of labor.
In accepting the gift, DR..
Mitchell expressed appreciation of
the good will that suggested the
gift and the affection that prompt
ed it. His relation with the
faculties of the colleges has been
most pleasant, he said, and he will
always cherish fond memories Of
his stay in Delaware.

In the absence of johnson
Rowan, Miss Alice Kerr acted as
toast-mistress. Miss Katherine
Graybill sang several selections to
accompaniment by Mrs. w. E.
Holton; Miss Madeline Raby gave
two readings and DR.. Samuel Chiles
Mitchell made the address Of the
evening. He talked in an intimate
personal way of local conditions
with regard to education. He told
of his love for the children Of the
neighborhood whom he mentioned
by name and charged the associa-
ton and the community with the
duty of providing Tor these chill
dren as good an education as the
best provided for children else
where. He told significant Incl
dents with regard to the attitude
toward education in the East and
among the foreign born. Three
men, he said, who played vital
part in the affairs of the nation in
the recent crises were graduates of
Bowdoin College. That a COM
munity as small as this should be so
honored was to him somewhat Of a
puzzle until last summer when he
and Mrs. Mitchell spent some time
in Maine. They made many ac-
quaintances and visited many
homes in the rural sections of the
state. One custom which they OBJ
served and which explained the
pre-eminence of the Bowdoin grad
yates, was that Of keeping in each
home small banks on the mantel,
which contained the children s col
lege fund. The ambition of every
parent in all that region was to see
that enough was saved at whatever
sacrifice to send each child through
high school and college.
The eagerness of the foreign-born
to educate their children was illus
trated by an incident which occur
red at one of the numerous COM
mencements where DR.. Mitchell has
been the speaker this spring. There,
a Polish couple who could speak
only broken English, were witness
| ing their daughters graduation,
and spoke with pride of having an
other daughter in the second year
of high school. He laid three
charges upon the Association as
representatives of the progressive
spirit Of the community: (1 to see
to it that every child in the COM
munity completed the high school
course and that they bend their
