Jetties to be Placed
off Rehoboth

Jetties will be placed off Rehoboth
to protect the beach. One will be
built off the Henlopen Hotel, and the
other off Wilmington Avenue. They
will be of stone and piling and will
give the beach a chance to build up.
This action has been seriously consid-
cred since the washing away of the
boardwalk two years ago. The jetties
are necessary if Rehoboth is to be as
sured any kind Of permanent beach
protection. 1t is also proposed to
build pier, decision regarding which
had been deferred until it was decided
to build the jetties.

SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES
Professional E n h u 81 a m
Marks Session; Director
Wilkinson Surveys
Work

ln1S week marks Cne close Ol IIle
six weeks Summer School being held
at the University Of Delaware. With
an enrolment of 305 students, the
present session holds the record of
being the largest Summer School in
the history of the State. The influx of
students at the opening of the session
was so great that the original plan of
holding the classes and serving the
meals in the buildings Of the Women's
College had to be abandoned and the
more comnlodious quarters of the
Mems College utilized. The teaching
staff, too, was found to be inadequate
to handle the large numbers and Miss
Elizabeth Jenkins, one of the Rural
Supervisors of Kent county was add
ed to the faculty.
In summarizing the more outstand-
ing features of the present session
Professor W. A. Wilkinson, Director
of Summer School, mentioned, in
addition to the unusually large at
tendance, the professional spirit and
enthusiasm prevalent among the
students. Despite the extremely hot
weather that has prevailed during
most of the session, most of the stu
dents have worked with zeal that
has been particularly gratifying
Both the large attendance and the
earnestness of purpose on the part

To Mayor Hylan.

In two abusive letters addressed to
the owner of THE NEW YORK HERALD
you hotly deny that there has been
any work done on your private motor
car at the expense of the city.
SO far as THE New York HERALD
Is aware it has not accused you Of
any such thing. In sworn testimony
before the Meyer committee you
were accused OF having had such
work done at the expense Of the
city.
1t was this sworn statement that
THE New York HERALD printed and
discussed. The effective place to deny
this sworn testimony is at its source,
the place where it still stands on the
records.

outer world is delusion so is the inward

life are the same, and man will bring

reichsmark Secretary HOOVER recog'
nizes that paper money issues on ac-
count OF reparations payments are
the cause of the currency deprecia'
ton. In the week ended September
30 alone more than four billions OF
paper marks were added to the
money circulation in Germany, bring
ing the total to above $4,000, ,000. 900
marks. or 1,400 per capita. This is
seven times the per capita money
circulation in this country, and the
$4,000, 100000 marks excludes all
kinds OF German currency except
Reichsbank paper. No action by the
central banks could remedy this sit
uation. IL they attempted it they
would get swamped.
From no matter what angle it is
examined the European currency
problem appears to be due to funda-
mental causes beyond the reach Of
mere central banks. But no matter
how unusual or novel his idea may
be, if Secretary HOOVER has feasible
scheme the central banks would un-
doubtedly be more than willing to
consider it with view to giving it
a good trial if it promised to sur.
vive the test.

Newest Trotting Champion.

That Peter Manning, which estab-
lished new worlds record Of 1:57Z
for trotters over the Lexington track
of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association on Thursday
last, was certain to lower the mark
of 1853, held Jointly by Uhlan and
himself, had been believed by those
who had followed the career Of this
remarkable young gelding. M
1t was in line with the development
Of the purely American type Of horse
which has achieved worldwide re-
nown. How long Peter Manning will
reign as king is problematical In
these days, when two-year.olds that
can trot in 2:10 are as numerous as
2:15 performers were among the
aged horses twenty years ago. Al
ready three performers loom large
upon the horizon and may be trouble
some. One Of these is the great four
year-old stallion Arion Guy, by Guy
Axworthy, 2:0s%, owned by Mrs.
HARRY X. DEvEREAux OF Cleveland.
which trotted to the worlds best per-
formance for his age Of 1:59% over
the same course and on the same day
that Peter Manning showed his
greatest speed.
Another horse looked to expec-
tantly is the champion race trotter
of the year, Greyworthy, 2:02N, by
Axworthy, 2:15h, the property Of
SANFORD SMALL Of Boston. The third
is the worlds champion three-year-
old gelding Gear Worthy, 2:03X, the
fastest three-year-old trotter seen
this year.

Find Prehistoric Corn.
Uncovered by Government Experts in
Tennessee Stone Graves.

Weekly Nous Letter Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Corn that grew in Tennessee in pre-
historic times. possibly before Joseph put
away his seven years supply in Egypt.
was unearthed recently by w. Il. Meyer
Of the Bureau Of American Ethnology
and cent to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture for Identification.
During recent excavations In Davidson
county. Tennessee. Mr.. Meyer came upon
a number Of stone slab graves contain
ing mortuary vessels. Some Of these
held specimens of charred maize in fairly
good condition. From the size and shape
of the grains 1t was possible to identify
the variety as many rowed tropical flint.
a form about half way between true flint
and popcorn.
Tho same typo OF Indian corn occurs
in the West Indies. and there is no ques-
ton in the minds Of scientists but that
there was q very early communication
between the West Indies and North
America. Not only corn but beans,
squashes. pumpkins and tobacco are OF
tropical and subtroplcai origin.
These staples, now so important
throughout both hemispheres. found
their way into North America and were
cultivated beyond the great lakes in
Canada long before the discovery Of
America. There ia abundant evidence Of
communication between the West Indies
and Florida. and up the Mississippi and
its tributaries.

First Ship to Germany.
The Tanker Chester Sun Reached
Hamburg in August, 1919.

To THE New YORK HERALD: We no.
tice In THE New York HERALD a letter
from r. II. Farley OF the International
Mercantile Marine commenting upon
your statement that the Susquehanna
was the first American vessel to enter a
German port after the war and calling
your attention to an earlier arrival, the
Manchuria Of the American Line.
Merely as a matter of record and with
all due respect to Mr.. Farley we believe
that correction Is in order here.
Our steamer, the Chester Sun,
tanker Of about 1000 tons gross register.
built in an American shipyard during
the war and flying the American flag.
arrived in the port OF Hamburg on Au-
gust s, 1918, and delivered there a cargo
of oil. This vessel was heralded in the
German papers at that time as being
tha first American steamer to arrive in
a German port after the war. and from
the information which VIC have we be-
lieve that statement was correct.
Since that time the Chester Sun, or
one of her sister ships ow. ~ by the Sun
Company, has maintained regular SER
vice carrying bulk oil to Germany.

times low grade. It Is evident, there
fore. that a specific duty OF 25 cents
a pound on the secured content of
wool in the grease would amount to
much more as a percentage or ad
valorem proposition on the low
grade. unsecured wool than on the
higher grade, secured product.
It is this feature Of the Fordney
wool schedule to which the carded
woollen folk object. They present a
logical and convincing case on their
own behalf, and they sum up under
subhead which reads "The Inde-
fensible Schedule X" completely ig-
noring the fact that the numerical
maneuvres of the Ways and Means
Committee displaced that trouble
some designation and put In its place
Schedule H."
The number eleven has its pedigree,
It's historical associations and its
powerful superstitious connotations.
If the magic Of this number were
ineffective in casting a spell Of
peace and contentment over the dis
senters for whom the old Schedule
X was meat and sleep and the very
centre and circumference Of the Cos
mos, then what may we expect from
Schedules 2, 8, and IL when the
rolling Of the tariff bones gets going
In earnest?

The Invading Column.

How do you read the menu card;
Without panied notice of the prices?
With tally Is your taste unmarried
And entail blurred by what entices?
Do you reel Off hors d'9uvre to nuts
Without the wrench Of computation?
Suffer no sinking that rebuts
Tho walters silky sinuatlon?
Can you planked steak Bordelaise
Ponder at berries four when goulash
Is six bits-and ignore that phase
Quite, without batting an undue lash
When you a sous cloche designate
What do you see through that re.
traction
The little squad at twice the rate
Or the aesthetic satisfaction?
Peaches and cream at half a bean
Can you deglute within your casket
And never let a thought careen
To thousands at that price per basket? ?
Haughty, in short, do you pooh pooh
OF bills OF fare the vulgar raking
For the low dollared grub? I do
But only just before awaking.

WESTERN CoNTRALTo HEARD.
Miss Nina Hager Iuterests Her
Recital Audience.

Miss Nina Hager, Western contralto
gave a recital OF songs yesterday In
Aeolian Hall. Her technical equipment
proved slender. but her artistic ideals
were undoubtedly Of the highest. She
showed herself to be that marvellous
rarity. singer willing to subordinate
herself to the purposes OF the composers
represented on her list She really
seemed to be present solely to introduce
and interpret unfamiliar lyrics.
In SO Tar as thin and unsteady voice
and q want of communicative power
would permit her she discharged her
self-imposed duties most commercially,
and she presented to her hearers some
vocal music not heard every day and
quite worth hearing. Pergolesrs "Salve
regina" beautiful in the classic Italian
style, began her concert. She sang
Poulenc's lie Bestiaire,'' six delicious
portraits OF beasts and fishes with per-
tinent comments. and John Ireland's ex-
traordinary "Marigold" set of three
utterly modern creations.
The last group consisted Of s.S songs
by John Alden Carpenter. of which the
"Berceuse de GuerTe" ought to Fold its
place in the repertory of all dramatic
sopranos. Miss Hager read 1t intel
ligently, but II needs the big emotional
note to do It Justice, and this could not
be sounded by her pallld voice. It Is
sufficient to say Of this young contralto
that with her insignificant vocal material
she did what some far more pretentious
singers cannot do, namely, she interested
an audience by song interpretations
showing understanding. taste and sensi-
bility.

The Baseball Seesaw.

The world series is running very
much as the individual games have
been played--to the delight of a
populace which likes to be kept guess
ing until the end. The Yankees have
the advantage this morning, but to-
night may see the Giants favorites
again.
Before the series the public attrib
uted marvellous versatility to the
Giants and seemed to regard Mr..
RUTH as the only hope of the Ameri-
can League team. Fate has reduced
the Babe to pawn. Yesterday he
was bunting and being batted home:
it is as il HERCULES hired somebody
to carry his bludgeon. But the
Yankees do very nicely with their
star crippled, as yesterdays score
testi6es. And the Giants have neg
lected some of their boasted strategy
in favor of hard hitting, are much
better off than they were at the close
of last Thursdays game.
Incidentally, as If in refutation Of
the miserable slander regarding the
inability Of this town to produce its
own baseball players, the Hon. WAITE
HoYr, Brooklyn product, has won
two Of the Yankee victories in so far
as any pitcher can win a game for
his side. With HoYT on one team
and the home grown FRIscH on tho
other New York is being handsomely
represented on her own ball clubs.

From the Kansas Citv star.
Oh, hasten thee. sweet Isle OF dreams.
Too slow the night is falling
On blessed sleep. wherein II seems
! hear my darlings calling.
Ny empty arms their forms cntwinc.
With Gods own love I'm thrilling
I call-~their voices answer mine,
And hoav'n my soul Is filling.
Then wake me not from bliss so sweet
To vain and mocking laughter,
And Hitting songs--all vain deceit
That echo not thereafter.
Oh, babes. still living In my heart,

And stu live from thee apart
But the night Is falling--falling!
