the Wilmington Harbor Commis-
sion, and william T. Budd, secretary
Of the Chamber of Commerce. are
making a visit 20 several nearby
cities to learn what products can be
made available for shipment through
the new marine terminals when

seven to eighteen months before the
terminals will be ready for operation,
Mr.. Hersey is Of the opinion that ef-
forts to provide business for the port
cannot be begun too soon. He em-
phasized this point on the occasion
OF his recent address before the
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and
Kiwanis Clubs. and reiterated It later
In private conversation.

be gone two days. during which time
they will visit Lancaster, Coates
Vile, Downingtown and Reading as
well as several other Pennsylvania
towns which possess railway con-
necuons with the Wilmington ter
minals.
An important feature OF the data
IL is hoped 10 assemble concerning
trade possibilities OF the port is that
it can be utilized as a powerful argu-
ment in Congress in obtaining legis-
lation to assist the city in dredging
the channel OF the Christiana so as
to connect with the main channel OF
the Delaware. also in constructing a
quay along the lower portion Of the
Chrisuana harbor front Both OF

OATH OF OFFICE
Industrial Accident Board
Approves 1922 Compensa-
tion Insurance Rates
SHOW DECREASE
OF 10 PER CENT.

At the session OF the Industrial
Accident Board held this morning at
the offices in the Ford Building.
rates for compensation insurance OF
1922 were approved. All the mem-
bers of the board were present. as
was also DR.. Walter o. Stac4. who is
to become a member on November /,
succ- eding Colonel George w.
Sparks, who becomes State tax com
missioner. The oath of Office was
administered to DR.. Stack by the Sec
retary.
DR.. E. H. Downey, the consulting
actuary OF the board, and Gregory
c. Kelley. General Manager Of the
Delaware Rating Bureau. were also
present and participated in the dis
cussion. Tho building trade was rep
resented by Haddock and Company.
DUPONT Engineering Company and
Bader and Company.
The rates as finally approved
show an average decrease Of between
ten and eleven per cent over the
rates for the present year. This ac-
tion was most gratifying to the
members of the Board as at the last
session Of the General Assembly the
benefits payable to injured workmen
were increased about twenty per
cent. In consequence. it was thought
a slight increase in the rates would
be necessary.
The industries showing decreases
include fibre and fibre goods manu-
featuring. tanning and leather dress
ing, rubber goods manufacturing,
paper and pulp manufacturing, boat
building. steel foundries, plumbers
fitting manufacturing, open hearth
steel making, iron and steel rolling
mills, boiler and tank manufacture
ing box manufacturing, smelling.
laundries. bakeries, ice manufac-
turing, machine shops garages and
auto dealers, brick, tile and terra
cotto manufacturing. acid and paint
manufacturing road construction,
and general carpentry.
The following cases we're heard
at the morning session; Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation VS.. James
Clark held for the purpose OF deter
mining the extent of disability sus-
tanned by the injured employe as the
result of an accident on October 23,
1919. Compensation has been paid
from the day Of the injury and an
award for the loss of the use Of an
arm probably will be made.
The second case considered was
that OF Bethlehem shipbuilding
Corporation vs.. Mack savino, in
which the claim was made that the
earning power OF the injured en-
ploye had increased and that the
amount OF compensation payable
should be decreased accordingly.
Hearing was also heard in the case
of Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora
ton VS.. Hugh J. McBridge to estab-
iish the status OF the disability of
this employe who was injured July
81, 1920, injury consisting Of a
compound fracture of the right leg.
At the afternoon session, the case
of Andrew Olynik vs.. General Chemi-
cal Company, which was continued
from the last session, was resumed
lat 1.3O o'clock, to hear additional
testimony.
During the morning session the
oath OF office. as a member, was
administered TO DR.. Walter o..

however, as they resumed their

fencing when he was asked directly
whether the Sim Feiners would re-
pudiate De Valera's telegram. He
contended this question was toe
broad and demanded a definition

dent Of Wilson College. Chambers

Il had been planned that Or. War
field would speak only TO the girls,
but it was later decided to allow
boys to attend the assmbley The
speaker was introduced by Principal
Charles Coke. who in a pleasing
manner told OF his association with
DR. Varield when he was a student
at Lafayette College, and DIR. War
neld was the president OF that insti-
tuition
Among the helpful suggestions
that DR.. Warfield gave to the stu
dents of the high school was that
they should all have the ambition to
so to college upon completing their
high school courses Don't think
your life is just a thing to do as you
please with it, said the speaker,
hut consider that there IS work for
each OF you and nobody else can do
It for you. Enlarge yourself at all
times and In the end you viii be
better citizens both TO your State and
TO your country DR.. Warheld paid
a high tribute to Wilson College.
"Never tl the history Of the
world" said DR.. Warneld, has there
been such an army of young men
and women in American colleges as
there is today Each Of these young
people are trying to enlarge them
selves and TO give TO the world what
they have promised"
In his closing remarks the
speaker urged that all the students
prepare themselves for the future.
so that they would be able to meet

them.
DR.. Warfleld also pointed out that
boys and girls. who are considering
a college course on graduating from
the Wilmington High School should
register at least two years in ad
vance to their attending college.
This Is on account Of the fact OF
such large classes colleges and uni
versities are not able TO take care of
all the applicants and many have
TO be turned away.
At the close of his talk the stu
dents gave college yen with War
field on the end. The mornings pro-
gram ended with the singing OF
