KEEP OUT OF POLITICS"
Boston Editor Urges Legion Men to
Fight for Disabled and to
Scorn Politicians.

Declaring that the government had
only done things for disabled men of
the World war under lash of the Lee
gion," James T. Williams, editor of
the Boston Transcript, told gather
ing of veterans in Worcester, Mass,
that the greatest problem of the Lee
gion was the care of the disabled
men.
The speaker said that no group so
sorely needed help of any organiza-
ton as do the disabled men, particu-
larly those suffering from tubercu-
losis, and advised his hearers to keep
up work in relief of these men.
He told the Legion men that 1t was
up to them to keep the organization
free from politics as it has been in the
past.
1.-THE two great parties are cursed
with men who say that the Legion 10
fair prey" said Mr.. Williams. They
go up and down the state telling how
easily the Legion can be handled.
These statements are caused by re-
sentiment because they cannot get
their communicating claws on the Le-
gion and control It," he concluded.

Motion picture films, said to portray
life in Russia under the soviet gov
eminent, have been attacked by a post
of the American Legion in Bingham
ton, N. Y, as Bolshevist propaganda.
When the film was booked for show
ing in that city, the local post made
a protest to the commissioner of pub
lie safety that the film might not be
permitted to be run. The Legion con-
tention is that the production Is spon-
sored by an organization known to
represent certain radicals of this coun-
try, and that such a spread of propa-
ganda is an attack on constituted gov
eminent.

TOT. W. GALBRAITH'S MEMORY
Memorial to Late American Legion
National Commander Is Dedicated
at Cincinnati.

On the hills overlooking his home
city, Cincinnati, stands a memorial to
Frederick W. Galbraith, deceased ma
tional commander of the American Lee
gion-"kllled in line of duty" This
memorial takes the form of a parapet
on which is bronze tablet. Behind
are the ashes of the former Legion
head. 1t was erected by the veterans
organization and has become a ma
tional shrine for Legionnaires.
Galbraith was killed as he sped by
automobile from Indianapolis, head
quarters city, to Chicago, with Milton
]. Foreman, past national commander,
on their way to face great problem
for the veterans organization. 1t was
on such mission fraught with good
for his nation, that he met his end like
the brave soldier he was
The tomb was formally dedicated by
National Commander John r. Quinn
on the occasion of his first public APP
pearance after his election. In his
address, he characterized the departed
leader as the spirit of the Americana
Legion" Commander Quinn declared
that to Galbraith and to the myriad
members Of the Legion, the organiza-
ton means the flesh and blood of
Americas fighting men, the soul Of
those who sleep on Flanders field and
In the depths of the ocean, and the
voice of four million who rallied to-
their country's flag when it was en-
dangered.
The Legion leader said that the slim
ulation of the principles of American
ism, as sponsored by the beloved Lead
er, Galbraith, could and would lead
the organization to greater heights for
the nation.
1.-THE spirit of Americanism takes, in
beginning, the schools-and the Legion
plans patriotic education" declared
Commander Quinn. ut takes its place
in the home-and the Legion hopes to
carry an inspirational message to
every fireside in America that patriot
ism may be better fostered there. The
flaming light of Amerlcanism is to be
seen in the pulpit, in the business
world, and In the elimination of ma
tional life-so the Legion is ever ready
to spread its broad gospel of better
homes, stronger love of nation and
deeper regard for law into the life Of
every inhabitant of America-to make
all American citizens-not mere resi-
dents of a country"
with the leadership of such conse-
Grated patriots as Frederick w. Gal
braith, we have assigned ourselves as
guard about this sacred fame of civic
spirit, we stand as sentinels about Its
temples" Commander Quinn said.
Seven foreign countries sent repre-
sentatives to attend the ceremonies,
including representatives of Italy,
Japan, Great Britain, France, Siam,
Greece and Brazil The monument
was unveiled by Michael Aaronson, a
former sergeant-major, who served un-
der Galbraith overseas, and who was
blinded while in service.

cially during the winter months when
ice covers the wires and gives them
additional weight. 1t is well known
that vertical aerial is the best type
of collective agency that can be used
in conjunction with a receiving set,
and is also well adapted for transmits

proximity to each other.
This type of aerial is very easily
constructed, consisting simply Of two
bicycle wheels bolted at their centers
to a wooden or bamboo pole of suffl-
cient diameter to guarantee stability.
The two bicycle wheels should be
mounted about ten feet apart. The
method Of assembling is clearly shown
in the accompanying Illustration.
Small insulators should he fastened at
intervals along the peripheries Of each

of aerial can of course be used very
successfully indoors.-RadiO News.

THE JAPENESE BEETLE

How to detect the dangerous Japan
esel beetle and what to dc if you find
this menace on your farm, will con-
stitute one Of the most important ex-
hibits to be staged at the Delaware
State Fair this year. Through the
courtesy of c. Hadley of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, a beetle eX-
hibit will be shown in a booth special
ly set aside at the Fair, so that every
o1be who attends may learn what the
creature looks like. The Japanese bee
tie is little larger than potato bug,
bronze in color, has or white spots
on the side of his body and two On
top, has a fiat "bill'' and six legs and
is the greatest menace known to far
hers nd fruit growers today. If any
one hnds such bugs they are urged to
communicate at once with the Della
ware Agricultural Department at Do
Fer or send word to c. M. Dillon, as
sistant secretary of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce, through whose
assistance the exhibit was obtained
for the Fair. The beetle now covers
235 square miles in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey and once it obtains a foot
hold there is nothing except foreign
insect obtained from Japan that can
eXterminate it. 1t destroys everything
green in plant life that comes across
its path. AS far as the government
has been able to obtain specimens,
and way of trying to combat the pest,
will be shown at the Fair, and this
beetle exhibit ought to be one of the

The City Boy
In The Country

A certain city boy who is spending
his vacation with country cousins is
astonished to find that these country
boys and girls are looking forward
with eagerness to the opening of
school in the fall. He thinks it is be-
cause the yalI belong to corn, pig and
calf clubs, bread-making, poultry and
canning clubs, and want to make re-
ports to the teacher about all the
things they have raised and then get
ready to show some of the things at
the county fair and win prizes. Here
is the conclusion of a letter which the
city boy wrote to his mother the other
day:
81 don't want to go back to that old
city school next year. think it
would be lots more fun to go to school
here in the country where you have
lots of time in the summer to raise
things and belong to boys and girls
clubs. I belong to a Turkey Club, just
Aunt Mary and I, and I just got to
stay out here and tend to the turkeys.
Aunt Mary gave me four young turk
eys and she kept four and we are run
ming a race to see which can raise the
finest before Christmas"

DELAWARE TROOPS
NOW UNDER CANVASS
Milford Boys Left Last Saturday
For Two Weeks Intensive Train
On Long Island.

The 198th Artillery, Delaware's own
troops, left the Diamond State on Sat
urday last for two weeks intensive
training in modern methods of war
fare. The troops were under command
of Colonel John P. LeFevre, of Dover,
who was only last week appointed Col
onel of the regiment. The Milford
Company, Battery F, left here on the
early morning train for Wilmington,
where they were joined by the other
companies in the regiment. The spec
ial train bearing them to the camp
on Long Island, New York, left Will
mington soon after the arrival of the
down state troops. Reports from the
camp, Camp Alexander Hamilton, are
to. the effect that the rockies are rap
idly learning camp routine and that
intensive training started on Monday.
The whole day was spent on Mon
day by the machine gun units, of
which the Milford battery is a part,
in learning how to set up and dis
mantle their guns. Later in the week
they will be drilled in the thorough
use of the guns. Writing under date OF
Sunday, Sergeant Roy E. Pettyjohn,
of Battery F, sent the following to the
Chronicle:
"Just a line to let you know how we
are getting along up here. We arrived
here after a slow all days ride on
the train; reaching camp about $3.50
o'clock. Detraining about two miles
from camp, we then boarded trucks
and rode to camp, where we found
our tents already up, awaiting us. At
ter a hasty supper, which was pre-
pared by an advance guard, we were
issued our cots-alsO mosquito bars.
The mosquitoes are very thick and
very large. Some of the men said they
would rush the bars and break
through. In fact, I couldn't keep them
out so I spent a sleepless night; but
overed it and we are now getting
along fine today By tomorrow 1 think
everyone will feel o. K.
"I think that all of us will get some
real benefit from this camp. We are
so far from where white men and
women live that we will stay in camp
most all the time. When we arrived,
some of the boys remarked that the
place must resemble Flanders Field it
was so desolate. They were sick
looking bunch; but tomorrOw's activ-
tiles will make everybody happy. We
are sure going to see real training
this trip. The 62nd regulars are here
as instructors. Everybody is well and
ready to eat three meals a day. The
whole regiment was called out today
and addressed by our new Colonel.

however, remains in session most of

Judging from the number of these the
incoming classes will be as large if
not larger than last year. Re-examina-

The University will reopen on Fri

GET COAL NOW-EVEN SOFT COAL

F. r. Wadleigh, Federal Fuel Dis.
tributor, in a statement issued, says:
IAN official statement just received
from the American Railway Associa-
tiOn points out that, if coal consumers
do not now purchase coal in anticipa-
tion of fall and winter requirements
they will experience difficulty in PRO
curing it later in the season when rail
roads are taxed with a heavy move
ment of general traffic and particu-
larly agricultural products.
The Railway Association points out
that, while the carriers are in shape to
handle and move all coal with reas-
enable promptness, provided the move
ment is distributed throughout the en-
tire year, they are not provided with
surplus equipment and facilities in
sufficient quantity to offset in the fall
months failure of consumers to buy
coal during the summer months when
sufficient transportation is available.
They emphasize finally the Importance
of purchase of coal by consumers now,
for use during the fall and winter
months. /
The foregoing warning should be
acted upon by every consumer Of BIZ
luminous coal, as simple matter of
protection. If industrial consumers
hold off from purchasing coal during
the summer and enter the fall months
with insufficient stock of coal, it will
then be necessary for them to secure
their requirements just at the period
when rail traffic is at its peak, as it
,1rr T,AA ,1.lo
October and November. They are then
likely to find themselves in a difficult
position and the country's rail trans
pOrtatiOn facilities overburdened, with
consequent delay in movement of tTaf-
fic, ensuing shortage of equipment
with congestion at yards and termi-
nails. The railroads are now moving
each week the heaviest traffic in their
history, considerably exceeding esti-
mates and, should the present ratio of
increase over estimates continue, all
previous traffic records will have been
exceeded.
The necessity, therefore, for the
heaviest possible movement of coal
during the summer months is appar-
ent, if it is desired to give the carriers
lie dSSlSIduC6 Iu6y Will surely nOSu
and avoid a slowing up of the whole
industrial movement, in which trans
portation plays such an important and
necessary part. Industrial cons umers
can, by purchasing and storing Ito ca
pacity as much as possible of their
fall and winter requirements, not
only aid the railroads, but in dustry
and, therefore, the interests
of the whole country.
The Secretary of Commerce, realiz-
ing the Importance of summer pur-
chase of industrial coal and conse- /
1uent aid to the rail carriers, has al \
ready written all trade associations, II
calling their attention and that off
