Is 1T CRAvENq

Is 1T CRAVEN?
The supposition might be that the
first TO bear the surname Craven was
a coward. for it is a wel-known fact
that craven was a word used in days
OF chivalry to indicate a coward
that is. one who cravod mercy A
lighting cock that refused to fight
was called a craven. and Shakespeare
uses the word in this sense
But the Cravens need not fear that
there is any streak OF cowardlincss
in their makeup, for the name is
really derived from the name Of a
district in Yorkshire. England. from
which the Cravens presumably had
their origin.
The founder Of tho family in this
country was Charles Craven. who
was born in 1854 He was secretary
and Governor OF South Carolina

BRITISH SLUMP,
GERMANS BOOM
1,75O,OOO Jobless in Britain
While Germany is
ProSpering
LABOR UNIONS
ARE HIT HARD
By Newspaper Enterprise.

BY Newspaper Enterprise.
LONDON.-Although German in
dustry booms, unemployment grows.
II is estimated that more than
1.75O.O0O persons are jobless in
Great Britain while 100000 more
are working only one or two days
ca week.
Conditions appear to be getting
worse rather than better.
Major industries are closing down
IN many cases because Of lack OF
orders. Fifty-two collieries in
South Wales. employing $4,000 per
sons. have had to shut down COM
pietely. according TO Finlay Gibson,
secretary of the South Wales Coal
Owners Association.
Soup kitchens are being opened
in many districts.
Unemployed workers draw trade
union benefits. and the heavy drain
on the treasures Of the unions is
keenly felt. Already periods OF
benefits have been shortened and
amaunts reduced.
The London Daily Mail prints the
results Of an investigation it made
over a period OF several months into
industrial conditions in Germany.
The Mail points out that the Ger
man government seeks to spread the
impression that Germany is on the
verge OF bankruptcy and that off,
cials cite staggering figures OF un-
employment and give out desolate
stories OF starvation and ruin.
"On the other hand" says the
Mail, "in private industry employ
ors. works managers. foremen and
work people simply laugh at such
wild talk.
They say German industry is re-
covering fast; they show you new
and very otter excellent articles that
are being turned out by the thous-
and; they talk OF gigantic amalga
nation schemes for practically all
branches OF industry; 'and they
point out that since the armisuce
many German concerns have in
creased their capital and started a
very large export business.
'The dividends are hidden in
some cases. but the published prof
its are often enormous.
Forests OF scanolding in COM
manding sites in many OF the great
cities show how leading German in
custrial and banking concerns are
seeking to keep pace with the swif-
upward trend OF business.
Low wages and long hours arc
the rule in industrial Germany to-
day. But the workers do not show
any signs OF distress.
German labor fully realizes thai
the only way for Germany TO win
back her former place in the world
is by recovering first her industrial
superiority.

The | Greatest Gamble
IN THE WORLD

The American Salvage Company will soon
launch the greatest undertaking in all history of ma
rne operations. With the great electrically opera
ted mechanical diving bell shown below equipped
with powerful electro magnets, drill magnetic thrust
arm, and every device which engineering skill can
think of, operated by crew of two men, they pro
pose to go down to the bottom of the sea and raise
many of the greatest treasure ships which have been
sunk in recent years, and there thousands of
them with millions of dollars board each one, be
sides there more thousands of ships with very
valuable cargoes that will into billions of dol
lars
They know definitely where almost every ship
lies, the depth of the water and all the conditions
surrounding them. They know the tonnage of each
vessel and the value of its contents They know Just
how much lifting power it will take TO raise it. They
know their diving bell easily reach these ships
that it can drill holes through the steel plates of the
ship and insert expansion bolts. These bolts are
fast to the cables on the pOntOOnS which seen
lying alongside the sunken ship shown in the second
picture. When these pOntoons all bolted fast to
the ship the water is pumped out of them which
gives them the required lifting power to raise the
ship The pOntOOns are forty feet long and fifteen
feet in diameter and ten of these sufficient to
raise ten thousand ton ship. The equipment has
been tested and proven several times with marked
success and they plan putting it into actual oper
alton early this spring For this work they will en-
pQy the best marine and mechanical engineering
skill that money can buy.
The eyes of the whole world are just now rivet-
ed upon the American Salvage Company, as they are
looked upon as being the only concern who raise
such treasure ships as the Lusania, the General
Grant, the Skyro, the DeBraak, the Yasaka Maru
and many others we could mention, any one of which

thousands of such ships waiting to be recovered to

alone in the field of operation for many years to

Reports from all parts OF tho

that there will be a short crop as a
result
Damage to the tender buds and

which not only destroyed most OF
the fruit and berries. but also has
seriously smitten the grape crop.
The damage TO Delaware orchard
lists and berry growers easily may
exceed million and a half dollars
In round figures. a normal Delaware
crop is estimated TO be worth about
100000. but 1t is felt something
may be saved out OF the frosty
swoop OF destruction. This does not
include strawberries, the Sussex
county yield Of which Is estimated
to be worth more than a million
dollars.
The thermometer got down 20 %
degrees during the night and there
was a heavy frost all over Delaware
that enveloped trees, vines and berry
plants. Dispatches from the fruit

Former Governor John C. Towns
end, Jr., a fruit and berry grower
Of selbyville. was at the Hotel
dupont at noon.
Fruit down state is practically
killed" he said. Berries are not
hurt so much, because they are not
out in bloom and therefore not so
susceptible to damage. No doubt
many Of the berry vines are dam
aged. though"
Latest reports received by Prof c.
A. McCue. in charge OF agriculture
at the University Of Delaware Exper-
mental Station, intimates that the
fruit crop OF lower Delaware will be
a total loss because Of the cold wave.
This includes the apple. peach and
pear crops. with a possibility OF sour
cherries escaping.
Prof. McCue said the loss will
reach 100000 and perhaps as much
as S4,0OO.00O. From all indications
and predictions he declared that the
crops this year would have been
much larger than those OF 1920. The
