A TELLER NEEDS A FRIEND

DRESlDENT HARDING knows BY this

lists used to say-all too we'll how a Teller
feels when he Is most In need of friend.
For this knowledge he has Congress to
thank.

ton. He had to take upon his shoulders all
responsibility for Il seeming offense against
the pro bonus element in the American
Legion at a time when Congress was In a
way to succumb to the hysteria Of funk.
So the President Is now being advertised BY
alibi hunting congressman as the Great
Bonus Buster.
1t ought to be remembered that almost all
members Of both houses are secretly op-
posed to the whole bonus scheme. But the
time has come when they are thinking anx-
iously of their political fortunes at home,
and If they cannot go back to election de-
bates with the promise of a bonus for those
who want it an albi involving the Presi-
dent will serve almost as well.
Ilardng's hard work is just beginning.
Now lie must find n way to bring the COM
mittecs in charge Of navy and army budgets
down out of the high air. Though Senator
Hitchcock yesterday began what may be a
long campaign of deliberate obstruction to
prevent ratification Of the navy limitation
treaties. stubborn movement continues in
the House to reduce the navy to shadow
of its former self. In the rather wild effort
to make soldier bonus funds available before
the next elections many Representatives and
Senator's have carried the new anti navy
campaign to point at which they actually
recommend the dismissal Of the new class
which is about to graduate from Annapolis.
Mr.. Harding will have to intervene for
the navy too. He and a few members of
his Cabinet seem to be the only men who
haven't forgotten the country at large in
an effort to strengthen themselves with u
limited number Of electors in one or another
party. Secretary DENLY was clearly speak

made it known to the stampeding politicians

dismissal of n whole class Of naval officers

1T JUST PETERED OUT

CENATOR HlTCHCOCK'S little plan to
- play politics with the Four Power Treaty
has come to naught. lie offered n resolu-
tfon asking the President for the minutes Of
the conversations that preceded the drafting
Of the treaty. and he insisted that as Prcsi-
dent Wilson had been asked for similar In
formation about the Versailles Treaty it
was only fair that similar request should
be made to Mr.. Harding.
The Republican majority, instead Of op.
posing Senator Hitchcock's resolution,
agreed to it, while they explained that SO
far as they knew no record of the conver.
sltions had been made. But they were
willing to crafty Mr.. Hitchcock.
Thus what was apparently planned as an
attempt to put the Republicans on the de.
fensive passed of as a harmless exchange
OF conrtesies among the complacent Repub-
licans and the Democrats, who to their sur
ptlse discovered they had counted on a dis
position that did not exist.

ENGINEERS OPPOSE
RETURN OF PATENTS

NEW YORK. July 2o.-The Fed
Grated American Engineering So
cieties, through its committee on
procedure. has appealed to Presi-
dent Harding on behalf of $4,000
engineers in more than thirty State
and local societies 10 defer any ac-
ton toward returning TO their for
mer German owners the chemical
patents now administered by the
Chemical Foundation, OF which
Francis P. Garvan. is president.
Resolutions forwarded to the
President by Dean Mortimer E.
Cooley OF the College of Engineering
Of the University OF Michigan say
that these patents have become the
nucleus of our American synthetic
organic chemical industry, which
must be encouraged for the sake Of
scientific research, public welfare
and national defense.
The message also expresses the
hope that the President will hear
from chemists, chemical engineers,
chemical manufacturers and the
medical profession before doing any
thing, even to the slightest extent,
which would tend toward the return
OF these patents TO their former
owners.

traction of this. their fourth week
at the Garrick Theatre. This com
edy, sparkling and unusual. has
charmed the theatre-goers more than
any of the previous, popular produc-
tions. Last nights audience con-
tanned a party of the employees of the
Advertising Division of the dupont
Company, who more than enthusi-
astically expressed their apprecia-
tion. They presented Miss Lee Smith

quet OF flowers as a mark OF their ap-
probation for her work and the
work of the company with her in
the play.
This is the second theatre party
OF well known local organizations and

FIND FARMERS
ARE COOPERATING

Wilmington is to be assured OF a
plenteous supply Of safe. wholesome
milk. without waiting for the pas
sage Of ordinances requiring the in
spection and control Of its milk sup
ply. two Of the largest dairying in
terests Of the city have launched an
educational campaign among the
farmers and dairymen supplying the
city with milk. A corps of specialists
has been engaged and is already at
work on an investigation of the con-
ditions OF the farms where Whining
tons milk is produced.
The campaign. in addition to i'm

of the city's milk supply. Is being

public an added sense OF security.
The move is made partly IN cooper

milk. the "clean milk department"
Of the dairy council is working TO

While n city milk ordinance"
could do not more than demand a
certain high standard OF milk. the
safe milk campaign conducted under
the auspices OF the dairymen's own
organization, goes a step further. It
makes the production OF clean milk
possible by educating the farmers 10
practice the methods necessary 10
