Salisbury in
Arms Conference
Former Senator Named on Advisory
.. Board

Former Senator Willard Salisbury
of Delaware who was President pro
tenn of the Senate during the war was
appointed yesterday by the President
as a member of the Advisory Board
to the American Delegation to the
Arms Conference. There are twenty
one members of the Board, most OF
them chosen by virtue of position and
experience in questions likely to be
presented. Such men as Hoover OF
the Cabinet, Pershing OF the Army,
Gompers of Labor, Roosevelt OF the
Navy are represented. There will be
four women members representing
various sections and interests. 1t is
interesting to note that many of those
appointed are especially familiar witt
Eastern problems. Yet at the same
time, the President has seemingly Sc
lected the Board as representing no
onlv the various sections and interest
but also the various schools o
thought as reflected in public sentl
ment.

Appeal to
Delaware
School Auxiliary
Board Of Education Handicapped
for Room and Equipment

That conditions at the Public
Schools are bad is seriously admitted
by all who are familiar with them.
But busines depression prevented the
sale of bonds last spring and the idea
of building was abandoned for the
time. By this delay, the time of the
offer of the School Auxiliary Associa-
tion to supplement the amount raised
expired.
But this school year found condi-
tions still worse. The Board was
forced to make provisions for addi-
tional pupils and as make-shift
have done remarkably well. But the
Board realizes that this relief is only
temporary. So at the last meeting,
the Superintendent was instructed to
write Director Odell of the School
Auxiliary to ask if the offer would
under favorable circumstances be re-
newed.
| 1t is probable that a reply will bt
made by the time of the next regular
meeting. .....-. .

Both interesting and noteworthy
in connection with the issuance of

is his call to the University of Cali
fornia as lecturer at the Summer
School next Summer. He has been
invited to deliver a course of lectures
on Literary study of the Bible and

of the scope of the work by last years
catalogue. There were over 200 men,
bers in the GUNNER School Faculty,
with an enrolment of 4009 students,
2O44 being teachers. Forty-four states
and twenty-one foreign countries

j. B. Lippincott Company, Of Phila-
delphia, will publish next fall an il
lustrated volume on Delaware and
the Eastern Shore by E. N. Vallan-
digham. The book is not to be an
attempt at history of the Peninsula,
though it will contain historical mat
ter. Nor is it intended to advertise |
persons, places or business activities,
though it will deal with topics closely
related to all these matters. 1t is in
tended first of all to present as near
ly as may be the spirit and tradition
of the Peninsula, to picture the peo-
pie historically, as they are today, as
they may possibly be in the future.
There will be chapters dealing broadly
with history, geography, topography,
climate, the great tidal waters and
their tributaries, the basic industries
of both land and waters, Mason and
Dixon Line, the Welsh Tract and
the Labodist Community, Bohemia
Manor, voyages on the Chesapeake
anu It's IiNcISg CllC 1Slduu SOIIIllluiA-
ties, Ships and Shipping, yachting,
hunting and fishing, Education, the
humors of politics but not the asperi-
ties of politics, Wilmington, the coun-
, try towns and other communities,
, family history and tradition with
anecdotic illustration, the churches
, and the spread Of various denomina-
tions over the Peninsula, communica-
: tions and the developments resulting
! from the use of motor vehicles on
. land and water, from improved high
! ways, the better organization OF
. business, and the quickened spirit OF
= a modernized people.
The author hopes not only to make
such book as will attract local IN
terest but also such as shall maxi
strangers understand why the inhabi
tants love their little land. To thi
end the distinctive beauty Of the hill
u country about Newark, the quiete
:" regions southwark of the forests an
30 tidal waters that lend charm to lowe
20 Kent, Sussex and Eastern Shor
D. clear down to Cape Charles will b
treated, as the author hopes, in sue
fashion, as to interest and convinc
the reader.
II About so pictures will be used
- l;ven the text and these will be 81
lected from $50 to 200 photograph
Sc taken in all parts of the Penlnsu
and upon it's waters.
The book will have about 300 pag

No New Money for Xmas

In response to a letter as to
the possibility of securing new
coin for distribution during the
Christmas season, the U. 5.
Treasury Department has is
sued the following letter:
"You are informed that it is
the uniform policy Of the Treas
ury not to furnish new coin OF
any denomination so long as the
supply of circulated coin with
the mints and Federal Reserve
banks is sufficient to meet COM
mercial demands, in view OF the
fact that the demand for new
coin is based on sentiment
rather than utility.
at is not probable, therefore,
that there will be an distribu-
ton of new coin from the mints
for holiday purposes"
