this method of showing that the mat

NUTTING AND PARTY ARE DEAD.
MACMILLAN'S ADVICE INDICATES
Followers of Viking Trail, Missing More Than Year,
Believed to Have Encountered Storm, Geographic
Society Is Informed by Explorer.

Donald b. Macmillan yesterday
radioed to the National Geographic
Society that he had discovered at
Holstenborg. Greenland. where the
Bowdoin put in Tuesday, further in
dication to confirm his belief that
William Nutting of the Left Ericsson
and his brave comrades have sailed

with three companions. to follow the
Viking trail to this country. The party
reached Iceland safely and sailed in
August, 1924, for Greenland and
Labrador No further word was heard
from them, and it is feared they may
have been lost in a storm.
MacMillan's radio message says;
we have discovered here in Holsten-
borg the man who entertained Nutting
of the Left Ericsson and his party
during their stay in Julianehaah. The
person who entertained Mr.. Nutting Is
the retiring Governor of Holstenborg
0. c. Rasmussen. Gov Rasmussen in
1S24 was the Deputy Governor of
.Iulianehaab. He was the last to say
farewell to Mr.. Nutting and his party.
The Left Ericsson party spent their
last evenings at the home of the
deputy governor. now Gov. Rass-
mussen, and discussed frankly their
plans and hopes, and ordered, through
his booksellers, books on the voyages
of the Norsemen, the Morse Sages,
ETC.. to be delivered to Nutting in the
United States.
Planned Seven-Day Run.
He further stated that, contrary to
rumor circulated in the United States,
Mr.. Nuttings destination after leav-
ing Greenland was not to be some
port north, but Battle Harbor,
Labrador, the first radio station he
could reach, Julianehaab at that time
having no radio station. Nutting ap-
proximated seven to eight days neces-
sary time for the run from Juliane-
haab to Battle Harbor.
Mr.. Nutting tok only five gallons
additional gasoline, his tanks being
full.
Gov. Rasmussen states that three

expected by me between Battle Har-
Dor and Newfoundland the same day,

United States Government.
Coy. Rasmussen has numerous
Photographic taken by him of Mr.
Nutting, his party and the ship
while in Julianehaab. and will be glad
to give these to Mrs. Nutting. cor
responding further with her on the
subject IL she so desires. Rasmussen
is today retiring as governor OF
Holstenborg and is being succeeded
by Gov. Bistrup.

SMART ALECK MAGAZINES

The police departments of some
of the larger cities are engaged in
a righteous crusade against libidin-
Gus magazines which have no merit
other than their appeal to an ex-
aggerated sex instinct and Are as
much of a peril to the country as
the old time red light" districts
which have been banished from
most American communities.
Another class of magazines which
should be banished, not by the po-
lice power, but by public sentiment,
is the hypercritical periodical which
makes a speciality of "razzing" ev-
erything American. Edited by su-
per-smart-alecks of certain literary
skill, these perversive journals are
constantly engaged in the effort to
discredit and make contemplate
everything typically American.
To the editors of these journals
every American who lives in rur-
al community is a boob and a yokel.
The truth is that there are many
more greenhOrns to the square inch
in the big cities of the country, and
especially in the biggest of our
cities, than in communities where
fresh air, clean living and straight
thinking are more common.
There is reason to believe that
back of this effort to make every.
thing American, especially every
thing rurally American, seem mean,
narrow and contemplate, there is
a purpose deeper than may appear
on the surface. Many influences are
at work to destroy the traditions,
the ideals and the institutions of the
American people, and among these
may be catalogued the journals
edited by European provincials who
habitually portray the typical Amer
lean as a yokel The truth is that
these graduates of East Side cellars
and devotees of decadent European
ism have not the slightest idea of
what America is about.
One of these journals of the
super-smart-aleck breed has recent
Iy printed articles showing that Lin
coin was moron, and John Brown
was a horse thief The only resi-
dents of the United States, either
living or dead, this periodical has
found worthy of favorable mention
have been two or three orchestra
leaders from Central and Eastern
Europe whose names would have to
be pruned in order to give them the
slightest resemblance to anything
American.
The American people should re-
fuse to patronize journals whose
stock in trade is abuse and ridicule
If everything American. This bust
less will go on only so long as it
proves profitable, either through
American patronage or foreign sub
idy. +

GUNNERS DID NOT ASK FOR
DOG LAW
(communicated)
Wilmington, June 18th,

Wilmington, June 18th, 1925
To the Editor:
Knowing the interest that this pa
per has always shown in the matter
of workmanship, we are asking thai
you call attention to the hostile at
titude that has been assumed toward
the members of this organization
since the new Dog Tax Law, passed
by the last legislature, went into ef-
feet in Kent and Sussex counties.
SpOrtsmen and owners of dogs in
Kent and Sussex counties have as
sumed the attitude that the Della
ware Anglers and Gunners Associa-
ton were the persons that had the
Dog Tax Bill drawn and put through
the last legislature.
We must state that this organiza-
ton as a body or any of its members,
did not have the bill drawn up nor
did we work for it in the legislature.
This organization did not approve of
having this bill passed upon the two
lower counties and excepting the
New Castle county, as we believe
that all counties should be treated
alike.
There are many sportsmen from
this county that go into Kent and
Sussex counties for a days pleasure
in the cunning season, take out Ii
censes and try to act as sportsmen
should, and we would ask that the
residents of Kent and Sussex cOun-
ties investigate and find out who had
the Dog Tax Bill drawn and worked
for its passage into the legislature.
The Delaware Anglers and Gun
ners Association always stands for
a square deal for all residents of the
State and work only for game and
fish bills that will be satisfactory to
all spOrtsmen of the state, and will
affect one and all.
Hoping that will clear up the mat
ter of the misunderstanding that eX-
lists in Kent and Sussex counties to-
ward this Association.
Very truly yours,
DELAWARE ANGLERS &
GUNNERS ASSOCIATION.

RUBBER

In the last three months crude
rubber has more than doubled il
price; that is, going from 95 cents
a pound to above 20 cents. There's
a good practical lesson in the rubber
industry for any person who consid-
ers any form of investing. The de-
mand for rubber products is huge
| One American company manuGac-
lures more than 10000 different rub
Der articles. The producing of $4,000
automobiles tires a day by one con-
Germ is not considered remarkable.
Each of the 10000 new cars turned
out every day must have at least
four tires, and the 17,5OO,0OO cars
and trucks already running around
the country use tires.
It's a great business. 1t will en-
dure, and the capable rubber COM
panies will make money. But a num-
Der of the small and the incapably
managed companies will have trOu-
BILE getting through now that rubber
prices have scared. Some won't get
through. With lOw-priced crude rub
ber and with the demand there is in
the United States, most any half
way efficient rubber manufacturer
could get along. But now that the
British control of crude rubber has
raised the price and will try to keep
it where it wants it for some time,
it's a different story.
British rubber plantations in Cey-
Ion and Malay states produce about |
half the worlds supply of rubber. |
The British rubber planters have
regular control system, called the
plan. If the price gets low
the supply is stopped. AS the price
goes up the supply is not dumped
but is regulated according to price.
Today the crude rubber supply in
London is about 5000 tons A year
ago it was ten times that amount,
and was about 10000 tons when the
Stevenson plan was put into effect.
Rubber, like every other business,
las it's ups and downs. The capable
in rubber or anything else
survive. The dreamers and incompe-
ents drop out. If you would put
money into oil, rubber, steel or any
hing, learn first if the company has
lad experience in weathering the
Obstacles that every form of bust
less meets periodically.

IMPOSING CATHEDRAL
BUILDING AT WASHINGTON

The National Cathedral being
erected at Washington will be, when
completed, the most imposing
structure erected by the Protestant
Episcopal Church in this country.
1t is surrounded by a sixty-seven
acre garden, which is becoming one
of the beauty spots of the nation.
The grounds contain a lockwood
hedge sent as a present by Thomas
Jefferson to the owner of the estate
which once comprised these grounds.
Another lockwood to be found there
grew from a sprig carried in clus-
ter of flowers by Dolly Madison at
her husbands Inauguration. Another
lockwood came from a hedge planted
by Washington at Hayfeld Manor,
Va, the plants being set out with
slips taken from Mt. Vernon. The
baptismaI fount of the cathedral will
be lined with stones taken from the
Damascus River, where Jesus was
baptized. In the stone work of the
cathedral every plant and animal
found on the grounds will be carved.
When completed the cathedral will
cost ten million dollars. 1t crowns

BUSINESS PRINCIPLES APPLIED
TO FARMING

A group of farmers at Owatonna,
Minnesota, operating under a cost
keeping system put out five years
ago by the University of Minnesota
experts, have disproved the tradi-
tions that farming never pays.
They have found where the farm
leaks are, in labor, in buying, in
selling; and they have tried to plug
every leak. They have paid them
selves $50 a month wages, and 5 per
cent on their investment. They have
increased butter production 20 per
cent per COW, and reduced produc-
tiOn costs; they have found shorter
cuts to profits in almost every
branch of farming. Their farm in
come last year averaged S2,471, or
better than 5000 a month which is
far above the average tradesman or
mechanic income.
Last year brought exceptional
prices for wheat, corn and a few
other products; but much of this
Minnesota income was from miscel-
laneous arming-alfalfa, poultry,
dairy products. They had no magic
to success; they merely cut
out the waste and stuck to the things
that paid.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(By National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)


Washington, June 24-With the
summer Capital established al
Swampscott, Mass, Washington in
many ways is like a deserted vii
lage. There is hardly corpOrals
guard of high officials left in the
city. The Cabinet members are at
their homes for the summer.
Probably, the most active people
in Washington are the large groups
of visitors. The Federal departments
are functioning but in the grip of
deadly routine. In other words, they
are not going out of their way to
take the initiative in anything. The
White House is being remOdeled to
make it more habitable. The pres
ent structure is more than CEN
tury old and only at infrequent in
tervals have changes been made in
the equipment.
One member of the Presidents
staff will remain at the Executive
Offices. He is Rudolph Forester, the
executive clerk, who has served in
that capacity for many Chief Exec
utives. His efficiency is such that a
change in Administration does not
affect his standing. The Summer
White House is in constant touch
with Mr.. Forester by special wire
which is kept open during the bus
mess day.
With the official set missing and
quiet prevailing in Government cir
cles, the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia are doing their
best to make Washington an ideal
place for slumber, despite the hot
weather. Orders have been issued to
policemen directing them to hush
the noises of the night. This means
that the unnecessary talking and
clatter of milk wagon drivers and
other sources of raucous sounds
will be silenced
The talk of tax reduction is again
revived with the return of Congress-
man Green, of Iowa, Chairman of
he House Committee on Ways and
Means, who has been studying Euro
