that is making it possible to promote
Scouting for boys and to bring the
program home to those who need it
and to deevlop the Scout plan in all
sections of the country"
Several tributes were made to
Scouting at the annual meeting by
Dean Russell of. Teachers College,
Columbia University. and DIR. Mac
Farland of the Federal Council of
Church OF Christ. Deal Russell said.
Scouting Is the best contribution to
education in several hundred years.
The foundation of authority has been
wiped out in Europe by the war and
the Scout movement should be a
factor in developing respect for those
who have the responsibility of keep
ing our common affairs in order"
DR.. Chas. F. -MacF'arland stated in
part that the Protestant churches
haven't gotten a suspicion Of the in
spiration of the Boy Scout movement.
1 could find enough antiquated stuff
to leave out of the Theological Sem
mary curricula to make room for the
Boy Scout movement"
Dean Russell also reported that the
school superintendents at the recent
convention in Atlantic City set on foot
a movement to study Scouting.

Fourteen-Mile Hike

Gene Tracy and started on our
fourteen mile hike Saturday. March IL.
about s O'Clock. We went by way of
the Bessemer ditch. out past City park.
9ene had just said he wished some
thing would happen when n flock of
bluebirds flew up in front OF US. There
must have been nearly 800 birds in the
flock and they made a great noise
with their wings when they flew. There
was one that we Judged to be n male
bird, on account of mis- bright -colorcd
plumagc.
This bird kept hopping along in front
OF us until We were at least n quarter
CT n mile from the flock and then he
flew back
There was not much after that until
We came to an irrigation ditch that
had just been dug. There was no water
In It
Gene and ran and jumped into 1t
and kept walking until We came to
n nest of some kind In the bank. 1t
was a hole dug out of tho fresh dirt
with some hair. feathers, grass and
straw in 1t for lining.
We talked about 1t for few min
utes but could not decide what animal
lived in It.
Very soon afterward We came to n
farmers field. We saw the farmer
across the field and tried to signal to
him. but he could not undcrtanI, 30
we went on.
We kept going until VIC came to the
Blue Ribbon farm. which Is about six
miles from our homes, then we went
on until we came to Goodnight.
When we came TO a cave about n
quarter of n milo past Goodnight we
built our fire and atc our dinner We
were still eating when three Scouts
that We knew came along so We talked
to them for awhile.
After playing around there for a
time we started back. We reached
horne about half past three O'Clock.

Hardly had one parley to adjust the
differences between the railways and
their employees come to nothing when
another is called. The United States
Railroad Labor Board has summoned
the officials of the companies and rep
resentatives of the five big unions to
appear in Chicago next week when
there will be a general hearing of both
sides on the situation. These pro-
ceedings will be public. That is
good step.
1t is understood that the govern
ment at Washington is strongly be-
hind the Labor Board and this being
true the warning to the unions not
to strike until there has been a hear
ing of grievances and a decision car
ries with it much significance. The
intimation is clear that strike before
the decision is rendered would be con-
strued as a defiance of the govern
ment.
Hence, if this program is carried
out, no decision being likely before
the time appointed for a strike, it is
improbable that the men will be ac-
tually called out on the date fixed. The
situation will be tied up by the Labor
Boards course so that more time will
be available for settling the difficulty.
The brotherhood chiefs have an
nounced that they will attend the
hearing and all others summoned will
do the same. However, no matter
what may be the final general out
come, considerable harm will be done
by this agitation for a strike.
Talking about it and the issuing of
the call have had a bad effect in some
quarters as in Texas where 600 have
already quit work. In other parts OF
the country doubtless men will go out
THUS interfering with industry. The
only thing to be done is to make the
damage as slight as possible. The
country is in no humor for strike

Professor A. Lorenz, the eminent
Austrian surgeon, is shortly coming
to this country. 1t will be recalled
that he visited the United States some
years ago and received huge fees for
treating crippled children, a branch of
surgery in which he is the acknowl-
edged master. DIR. Lorenz declares
that his visit to this country this time
is intended to mark his appreciation
of what the United States has done
for the children of Vienna. He says:
81 will offer my personal profession
al services to those children of poor
parents, who may require my atten-
tion and surgical help.
Deprived of their former prosper
ity and reduced to the very depth of
despair, the people of Vienna are en-
tirely unable to repay American at
this time, but each member of the
community will forever feel grateful
to the Americans, and each of them in
his own way will give expression of
his appreciation.
at has occurred to me that, as far
as | am concerned, l could best give
vent to this sentiment by offering my
professional services. Great and over
whelming as such task may be, my
modest endeavor to tackle it will be a
sign of how deeply I am impressed by
the generous American charity"
1t is a fine heart and mind that sug.
gested such a way of acknowledging
what the United States has done fol
the suffering and starving children o.
Vienna. The Austrian surgeon as HI
realizes, has undertaken a big task
for the demands upon him for treat
ment will be overwhelming. However
as an individual he has determined L
do what he can for his country anC

1t is quite evident especially in the
more settled sections of the country,
that the farmer is becoming consider
able of an advertiser He has found
out that few lines in the want de-
partment is much cheaper than driv-
ing all over the country to find buyers
for blooded stock, seed corn or grains.
He has also found that it is an excel
lent medium in turning into cash some
surplus piece of machinery. Farmers
living near the cities have learned that
they can get the automobilists to come
out to their home for butter, eggs,
poultry, fruit and farm produce. In
that way they shorten the distance to
market. The power of printers ink is

Farmers are receiving more or less
sympathy for the lean year of 1921,
which has brought them up with a
hard jar in their financial affairs, says
the Milford Chronicle. After several
years of unusual prosperity, when all
kinds of grain and farm produce
brought any price asked, the farmers
of Delaware experienced very comfor-
table results from the business of ag-
riculture in all lines. That many
thought that these conditions would
continue for years to come, created
the habit of careless spending of
money and making improvements be-
yond the needs of peace times and
conditions. Others saved or invested
the proceeds of the farms, as the de-
posits in the banks show plainly. The

the prosperous years which proceed
the general reaction and depression in
all agricultural prices-regardless of
their disposal of the prosperity which
came to them.
"Too little thought is given to the
facts which underlay the business of
farming and agricultural generally.
For this reason the calamity howls of
those farmers who proclaim that they
have not made a living on the farm
must be taken seriously, but with
realization, that the farmer operating
a farm, is in much better financial
condition than the wage Garner, Of

ANOTHER GIFT TO DELAWARE
Fine Portrait of the Late DIR. George
w. Marshall, of Milford

Clawson S. Hammitt has just finish
ed a portrait of the late DIR. George
w. Marshall, of Milford, which has
been on exhibition at Tenth and Mar
ket streets, Wilmington. The artist
has caught DIR. Marshall's characters
tic humorous expression, especially IN
the eyes, and has painted a picture
that will be an object of pride in Old
College Hall, where it will be hung,
after DR.. Marshall's family present it
to the University of Delaware. DR..
Marshall took great pride and interest
in his native State. He was an advo-
cate of higher education for women
and gave his influence and aid toward
the establishment of the Women's Col
lege. Delaware history fascinated
him and he gathered historical and
geographical facts about Cape Henlo-
pen and lower Delaware until he de-
came an authority on the subject on
early boundary lines and other dis
puted facts. He was also a member
of the first Portrait Commission of the
State of Delaware which held an exhi-
bition in Wilmington in 1915. This
portrait will be the seventh of Mr.
Hammitt's painting that has been pre-
sented to the University of Delaware
He also has about 26 portraits in The
State House at Dover.
