Don't you think it would be a splen-

a picture of Mr.. Dubell Mr. Mullin
asked the Every Evening man, point
ing out the article and discussing it.
81 consider Mr.. Duell one of our most
SUBSTANTIAL citizens, he is a splendid
merchant, and his record, as a usiness
man, is one of which we may all feel
proud"
The Every Evening man agreed and
the article was printed in the paper,
but Mr.. Dubell never knew, as far as
the writer knows, who suggested its
publication.
This was a striking evidence of the
general attitude Of Mr.. Mullin, who
was the second in line in the business
there, and it has been the general at
titude Of all who have been concerned
with the management of the store.

To Foster Good Fellowship

1t is the intention of the firm, under
its broadened policy,it has been learn
ed, to foster more closely friendly re-
lations with the trade throughout the
entire trading territory.
"Yes," said Paul Mullin, when asked
about this innovation, eve are about
to send Mr.. Joseph NJ. Parvis, one of
our representatives, with a model and
complete sample line, throughout the
principal towns of Delaware and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. The pur-
pose is to demonstrate the newest fall
styles and fashions in mems wear"
"The mission of Mr.. Parvis," Mr..
Mullin explained, "will not be, pri-
marily, to sell goods for the firm, but
to establish good will, informing the
public regarding correct styles and
models, and becoming better acquaint-
ed with the surrounding territory. So
far as we know, this is the first time
that such a campaign has been at
tempted by any mems wear establish
ment."
Mr.. Mullin also stated that "Our
message is "buy at home every article
that it is possible to buy;' however,
Mullins will be pleased to serve you
in your further wants in the line of
mems and boys wear"
This brOadminded forward step
should be a help to all merchants on
the Peninsula, and it is a pleasure for
to congratulate the Mullin establish
ment upon the adoption of such a
splendid idea.
While this is an innovation, it is
merely in line with the polity of the
store, which has always had the rep
utation of being one of the leaders in
honest and aggressive trade methods.
The late John S. Mullin, the writer
recalls, often expressed himself along
this line. He never countenanced dis
honestly and went to extremes to see
that all who dealt at the store were
accorded fair treatment.
1t was not an uncommon thing to
drop in the store and see Mr.. Mullin
chatting with other merchants in his
own line, who were attracted to him
by his magnetic personality and con-
sideration for others. Neither was il
uncommon for him to give advice to
other merchants who appreciated the
benefit of his judgment in business
problems that came up.
Mr.. Mullin always took great inter-
est in matters of public welfare, and
he was never too busy to assist in a
worthy cause. During his entire ma
ture life he was one of the substantial
members of Grace NJ. +. Church and
its affairs and those of the Whining
ton NJ. f. Conference often found him
as one of those called in counsel. OF
keen judgment, he was regarded as a
valuable factor in dealing with prob
lens of church, business or commun-
ity.

the states where the forests are sit uated. The land is withheld from local use and taxation and is made to yield revenues for the states that have cut their own forests. AS a proposition it hardly could be justi- fled by the rules of fair play.
 Under the sealing treaty with Great Britain and Japan, those coun- tries receive annually a percentage of the profits from the operation of the seal fisheries on the Pribilof Islands. After those payments are made and all expenses paid there should be something left for the use and benefit of the territory where the seals are found.

AMMERICANS IN EUROPE LONG
 FOR HOME DISHES AND MENU

PARIS, Dec. 21 (P-Paris may boast the best cooks in all the world, but hundreds of Americans are starv- ing here for American dishes.
 Even the American woman who diets has her troubles. For European chefs have not learned how to make that extremely thin and brittle toast which enables one to give a pretense of eating.
 In France sauces and butter and flour used as ingredients in the cui- sine are terrible enemies to the waist line. In England, boiled unseasoned vegetables offer little temptation to the palate. No medals can be award ed in Italy and Germany for no woman wants to wear fashionable gowns who eats macaroni, spaghetti or raviola. Wine and beer do not help keep the slender, boy-like figure.

NATIONAL LOTTERIES

In view of the proposal to estab- fish a new national lottery in France in aid of the governments finances, it is interesting to note the change of attitude toward such schemes during the past century.
 It may not be generally known that an American national lottery was instituted by the Congress of 1776 and that between that date and 1920 at least seventy acts were passed by Congress authorizing lot teries for public purposes, such as schools, roads and other improve ments.
 During the presidency of Wash ington, Harvard College supported itself in part by grand lottery, with capital prizes as high as $20,000.
 Most European governments have at some time or another employed national lotteries as a means of rais- ing funds for the public treasuries, and municipal lotteries have been common. Cuba has conducted na- tional lottery since the formation of the republic.
 France financed the war of the Spanish Succession by lottery which was not suppressed until 1886. Eng land authorized lotteries for harbor improvements and for the financing of the Virginia Company, which founded the early settlements in America, and raised government funds by that means unti l1S24.
 Religious and charitable organiza- tions were in some countries per mitted to operate lotteries, long af- ter the governments had abolished them as national institutions. On a small scale such exist in America to- day in the form of "raffles," which do not differ in principle from the more pretentious lotteries of the past.
 But during the last hundred years the trend of sentiment throughout the world has been against lotteries,

ALLEGED MEDIUMS FAIL

In one of the most scientifically conucted tests ever made of alleg- ed spiritualistic mediums" in which 2S3 of the mtried to prove commun- ication with the spirit world, all have utterly failed to make good in the slightest degree.
 The tests, recently conducted un- der the auspices of the Scientific American, were attempts to receive from the spirit of Mrs. J. Allen Gill bert of Portland, Ore, who died in 1915, a secret countersign agreed upon between her and her husband before her death.
 Thiscountersign was written and sealed in an envelop and mediums were invited to call her spirit and receive from it the secret words. Dr. Gilbert offered $500 as a reward to any medium who might be success full. All of the 2S3 mediums receiv- ed what they claimed to be the sought-for message. But when the envelop was opened by Dr. Orson D.
 Mum, the editor of the Scientific American, he announced that not one of the 2S3 answers "came anywhere near coinciding with the countersign taken from the sealed envelop," which proved to be the dates of birth of Dr. Gilbert, his wife and their daughter
 Many of the most eminent scien- lists and scientific societies are mak- ing an earnest effort to discover the truth about spiritualism, and while a few have convinced themselves that spirit messages have been received, there appears to be absolutely on proof that can stand up against the findings of impartial Investigators Imaginings of the human mind lead into many errors and so far as positive knowledge exists today, the idea of communicating with spirits of
 the departed is merely one of the most cherished of delusions, and nothing more.
 At any rate, we know from this
 latest test that 2S3 pretended med iums are imposters.

ALASkA RIGHTFUL HERITAGE
(From Seattle Times)

The purpose of bill introduced last week in the House of Repre- sentatives to create fund from the revenues obtained from the sale of seal and fox skins on the PribilOf Islands to protect and develop the fur seal fisheries and fox raising and to assist the Alaska natives is sound in principle Various measures of similar character have been proposed but so far Congress has taken no decisive action.
 In the first session of the Sixty eighth Congress, bill providing that the surplus revenues from the fur seal fisheries be converted into the Alaska fund passed the Senate. AL askans have frequently pointed out the injustice of depriving the terri tory of all benefits of one of its inn portant industries.
 Fox farming has developed on a large scale in Alaska and the inn portance of this new industry war rants the establishment of eXperi- mental stations in Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska.
 The principle involved is somewhat similar to the segregation of large tracts of lands for federal forest reserves and retaining for the use of the entire country the proceeds of property which rightfully belongs to

Not Chance Left for
 Men Entombed in Mine

Rockwood, Tenn, July 25 F-- Following a conference between off cials of the company, state and federal mine inspectors and the he roic leaders of the rescue parties who had rislled their lives repeat edly in the effort to save their mates, it was decided to close Rodgers entry to the mine Whorc eight miners are entombed The fire was spreading rapidly. tho en- try was filled with tre-damp which made it impossible for any living creature 10 go farther than the place where the bodies of Claua Tindell and Raymond Watkins were found yesterday afternoon. Eur ther effort, in the opinion of Inc officials and the miners who know the mine thoroughly. could but hayc resulted in additional loss of life.
 The closing of the entry followed the return Of rescue squad which went into the mine at ? o'clock this morning and returned at ' o'clock. It means the practical abandonment of all efforts to rescue the men.

HIGH PRICES FOR
 SARGENT'S WORKS
Returns Far Out Of Proportion
 to Value in London Sale

London, July 2S 0pl-Amazement IS too feeble a word 10 describe the attitude of art critics and the news papers toward the prices realized at yesterdays thousand pounds a min ute' sale Of the works Of John Sin ger Sargent, noted American painter who died here in April. It is not be- cause there ever has been tendency 10 belittle Sargent's work here, for that is not so. but because, while everybody expected high prices, mo- body seems 10 have thought they would prove so overwhelmingly sen sational in view of the fact that many Of the works were more or less sketchy, while some Of them. 1t is said, were so slight and unimportant that the great painter himself never contemplated their passing into oth- CT hands.
 Once the high bidding started there seemed to be no controlling the enthusiasm. and values rose as the sale advanced. IL was remarked that if some of the pictures eold first would have been offered later they probably would have realized much greater figures. The water color sketch, Near Carrara" for instance, which brought 1000 guineas (about s6,0o0), it is believed would have reached three or four times that sum if it had been offered a couple of hours later when the excitement was at it's height.
 The eagerness of professional and amateur buyers from the United States seems to have had a deal 10 do with the spread of enthusiasm. One American buyer, under the as stunned name of "Nr. Marshall" got red in the face from making re- peated bids.
 There are some critics, however. who are doubtful whether the prices paid represent the real value of tho pictures and suggest that if resold a decade hence it is not likely they will realize anything like yesterdays prices.
 The total sum realized by the sale was ft45,9S4 sterling. or about S730,0on. representing one of the largest ever recorded in the famous auction rooms of Christie's in a sim gle day for one artist's work, San Vieilo. a Boat With Golden Sail" brought the highest price, 1000 guineas.
