such a long time since saw him
almost forget what he looks like
having seen him but twice in the
field since his appointment TO office
There are also several so-called dep
uty game wardens appointed by this
commission. Six, at least, of the last
named come from Wilmington.
Now, II this commission really Is
in need OF money, let it send its chief
or field warden into New Castle
county and organize its deputies and
1 safely can say that IL It under
stands its business It can arrest
enough violaters of the game laws
more than to pay the salaries for a
period OF one year.
Let the commission do something
TO show the people what it can do.
I think it is foolish TO pay out
good money and get nothing in re-
turn. II this State is going to pay
for game protection. let US have real
protection and don't pay for it until
we get it. This is the worst State in
the United States for people openly
and defiantly to violate the game
laws and get away with it. This is
all due to the inehiciency of the
Game Commission and the non
enforcement of law.

CITY BOYS IN
new SOCIETY
Scottish Rite MaSonS to
Father Order Of de Molay
Chapter
IDEA is TO MAKE
YOUTH BETTER

A Chapter OF the Order OF de
Molay Is to be formed in Whining
ton under auspices OF Wilmington
Rite Masons.
Announcement was made yester-
day at a luncheon of Scottish Rite
Masons. in the Consistory House
/ that the following committee has
been appointed 20 organize the new
chapter: Harlan l.. Cloud. Most
Wise Master of the Wilmington
Chapter; Edward W. Cooch, deputy
grand master OF the Blue Lodge Ma
sons. and Joseph n. Knox. Wor-
shipful Master OF the DUPONT Lodge
OF Masons.
The order OF de Molay is OF but
recent founding and growth. Al
though Masons are actively interest
ed the order is not recognized as a
Masonic body. The members will
be composed OF youths ranging from
10 to q years. The organization
was founded in Kansas City in 1919
by Frank S. Land and il has spread
to many parts of the country.
There are two degrees exem-
plified with an elaborate ritual:
The initiatory degree and the de
Molay degree. The officers, Of course,
will be youths.
One OF the purposes is to look
after boys after they have got be-
yond the Boy Scout age. Il has
been found by experience that
youths of say 20 years do not as
sociate with boys under sixteen and
therefore the order Of de Molay is TO
meet that situation, according to the
statement Of one familiar with the
orga nization.
The basic principles OF the order
are: love of parents. reverence,
patriotism, purity. courtesy, COM
radeship and fidelity. All these traits
are examplified in the beautiful de-
grees as prescribed by the order.
Deputy Grand Master Cooch has
seen the mother chapter. in Kansas
City at work and speaks most highly
OF it. The effect OF the new order |
its influence upon boys, has made /
a fine impression at Kansas City.
The order is named in honor OF |
Jacques de Molay a commander Of |
the Knights Templar in 1914, during /
the crusades when he was burned /
at the stake.
When the Wilmington Chapter is
organized It IS expected that the
initial work will be done by a de-
gree team from Baltimore.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Feb 1O.-If
you happened to listen in on station
WHB. the night OF February l, you
could have stayed at your post from
7 o'clock that evening until Z the
next morning without tuning out or
hearing the end OF the entertain
ment.
For OH this occasion. E. J
Sweeney. millionaire owner of sta
ton WHB in this city. celebrated
the fourteenth anniversary OF his
automobile school with a 12-hour
continuous radio program. The
music was sent out from four differ
| ent points in the city but that did
not delay or hamper the transmits
sion. Special arrangements were
made with the police TO allow an
automobile carrying the microphone
| for reception of the music to speed
l from one place to the other.
The record concert began with
bedtime stories and educational
talk. from the Sweeney Automobile
School, where station WHB ds To-
Gated. After a half hour of Jazz
music. the scene shifted TO a hotel
where banquet speakers addressed
the audience before them and a vast
invisible audience through the
microphone.
No Time lost
Then the automobile raced back
70 WHB where more instrumental
and vocal music was transmitted.
Back went the microphone to an
other hotel for dance music. Then
10 the Sweeney studio and at in
the morning. the microphone was
taken to the Central Methodist
Church where, for two hours. the
choir mingled IT'S hymns with the
music OF the organ.
Because Of the strain on the
broadcasting plants generator. cleo /
trtcians erected several large fans /
10 cool the highly taxed machinery. /
The station from which this /
unique program was broadcast. is
one of the finest in America. The
studio Is made absolutely echo

five layers of'cotton flannel. stretch
ed tight. with a quarter-inch air
space between the layers. The car
pet Is the heaviest that could be

padding.
To broadcast the program from
The various parts of the city. a
special telephone connection was
made between the microphone at

paratus at WHB.

LET TT FUNCTION.

LEI H tONtflIONs
To the Editor OF The Evening
journal.
Sir: Do we need a new Game
Commission in Delaware? The writ
er thinks we do. This commission
is asking the present Legislature for
an appropriation in the sum of ST.
500 a year for the next two years,
making a total of $1,000 to propa-
gate and protect game in this state.
| would like to ask this commission
what they have done along the line
of propagating game and what pro-
lection have they offered to the game
in this state?
I, for one. am strictly opposed to
appropriating any sum OF money
from our state Treasury to this COM
mission until such time as it can
show the people of this State that it
has done something along this line
and is really in earnest. If this
commission would compel its war
dens to enforce the law against vio-
laters, It would have more than
enough money from fines alone to
meet its expenses.
Your chief game warden in Do
yer does little in the way of game
protection. Your field warden is
known only to a few hook-and line
fishermen. He pays little attention
to game. This is especially true in
New Castle county. 1t has been
