Some Administration Senators
viii Demand More Funds
for Air Service
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
A clash in Congress between
the Coolidge brand of economy
and the Roosevelt theory of ma
tional preparedness doomed today
as a probable outcome of the
aviation controversy kicked up by
Colonel William Mitchell, stormy
petrol of the air service.
Through a maze Of aviation
problems, born of the Mitchell
case, it was indicated today by
administration leaders, will run the
thread of President Coolidge's plea
for reduced ornaments and stricter
Federal economy.
Another Preparedness Fight
While surface issues will involve
the wide sympathy for Mitchell and
Congressional demands for greater
air service, the background will re-
veal a new preparedness fight by
advocates of the Theodore Roose-
Welt type for greater and more
modern national defense. The ulti-
mate result will be a clash between
these two forces with the House
and Senate as the battle grounds.
The attitude Of the preparedness
advocates was voiced by Senator
Cole Bfease, Democrat of South
Carolina.
Il am for a big army, big navy
and big air service" said Blease.
II want them big enough for the
whole world to know that II any
nation jumps on us. we will beat
the tar out Of her.
Blease will support the movement
for separate Department of Avi-
alton.

sooner have a Democrat, but 81
know I can't get one. so Bingham's
my choice.
81 believe there should be a re-
organization OF American aviation.
We should bring It up to perfection.
I'm opposed to war, but IL we have
to fight. I want my country equipped
to scrap right and win.

tors viii support the Presidents

pressed by Senator Rice w. Means,

Federation Of Labor, it is charged that
thrne-ffths Of the population lack perma-
nent employment. that wages are low,
and that there is discrimination against
the poor.
Complaint is made that although the
working people earn neager wages, the
burden of the new sales tax will increase
he already high cost of living % per
cent. Few constitutional rights are en-
joyed by the people Of our island, as if
we were second.class citizens" the petit
ton says. Great outrages, abuses,
crimes and ~iIlegalities marked the last
election. The right Of suffrage was prac-
ticaIly denied to the people. The polls
were controlled by one political party.
with the purpose to impose and main
tain the domain over the whole people
of Porto Rico that political oliqarchy is
trying now to obtain from Congress of
the United States the right to elect the
governor of the island-noW appointed
by the President Of the United States
to obtain power to impose tariff duties
upon the importation; to change the Fed
eral Court in order to influence or con-
troll its decisions, that is to get absolute
domain upon institutions, life and prop
erty of the Porto Rican community.
The people of Porto Rico do not like
to be considered either a colony or a
possession. We wished to be considered
a part of the United States with the full
rights and dutie7 within the national life.
Porto Rico should be under the pro-
lection and administration of the Depart
ment of Interior of the United States,
but Porto Rico continues as a military
possession under the War Department.
I'VE furthermore declare that the eco
nOmic, social and political conditions of
the people of Porto Rico are intolerable.
For such reasons we respectfully re-
quest to the President and Congress Of
the United States:
To appoint a joint commission to
come to Porto Rico, to hold public hear
ings, look over and ascertain facts and
conditions in all parts of the island and,
after a careful examination and study of
all the facts. submit to the President and
Congress Of the United States whatever
recommendations it thinks convenient to
insure economic, social and political well
fare tothe people of Porto Rico. "-Chrjs-

GRAIN PROBLEM FOR FARMERS
Experts Will Market 100000 Bush
els Wheat Crop This Year

Although Delaware is not famous
as a grain producing state, she has
grain marketing problem that, ac-
cording to the farmers becomes more
acute each season. This season for
instance it is expected that Delaware
will produce close to 100000 bushels
of wheat which crop of course will
have to be marketed.
The Grain Marketing Company, Of
Chicago, which is backed by the farm
ers of the United States, with the Co
operation of the Delaware Farm Bu-
reau and the oranges, plans to aid
the Delaware farmers in marketing
their grain. 1t is estimated that with
proper marketing the wheat crop
alone here will be worth from $4,000
to $4,000 more than it has been in
the past when it has been without
proper facilities for handling and
shipping.
1t is pointed out that Delaware does
not have one grain elevator and that
the handling of wheat and other grair
is more or less a drudgery without
the proper facilities.
The Grain Marketing Company de
sires to put its terminal facilities il
Philadelphia at the disposal of th'
Delaware farmers to aid them il
marketing their grain crops.

Beetles on Increase

The beetles are now in a cocoon
state and during the first week of
June they will emerge from the
pupae in great swarms and cover a
large area in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and northern Delaware. De-
spite the fact that State and Federal
authorities have waged war on them
for about seven years, their number
increases every year. The Federal
Government has obtained some sue
cess in its fight on the pests through
the introduction of japanese para
sites which feed on the beetle, but
these parasites have just begun to
ravage the beetle and it is too early
yet to expect very effective results
AS yet none of the pests have beer
found in lower Delaware, but it vii
be only through careful watchfulnes!
that they will be kept from spreading
to this section Of the state.

JAPANESE BEETLE ENvAsION
Government Authorities Say the Pest
Will Probably Spread Rapidly

a new invasion of Japanese beetle
swarms, even worse than the flying
hOrdes that have harassed New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and northern Del
aware in previous years, is predicted
for the next few weeks.
Owners of gardens and lawns and
the managers of golf clubs have been
advised to cooperate with the Feder
al authorities in combating the null
tiplication of the pests, and at the
same time guard their own interests
by saving their property from de-
structiOn.
The Federal Government recently
made public the formula of a new
laIvacide which has been advised by
Government entomologists, and is
said to be a highly effective poison
for the destruction of the "grubs, y
who feed on the roots of grasses and
plants. Where the larvae is prevail
ent in great numbers, the grass looks
as if it had been swept by a prairie
fire.
This larvacide, if used properly, has
the two-fold advantage of saving the
lawns and gardens from destruction
and preventing the metamorphOsis OF
the larvae into the cocoon stage anC
the latters transformation into the
adult insect.

Many Eggs Are Wasted

1t is claimed that the sturgeon and
shad will never be able to propagate
themselves to the numbers that once
filled the waters Of this country, due
to the great waste of the eggs that
are spawned. When the fish spawn
the eggs are scattered over a wide
space in the river with the result that
the milk of the buck touches only a
few Of the eggs. The others are eat
en- by other fish or are lost. Professor
Borodn believes that if the sturgeon
that are caught at Delaware City
whose roe has already started to
spawn, were artifcially hatched it
would not be many years before stur-
geon would inhabit the waters in the
great numbers as they did a few years
ago. AS the fish have been dwindling
in numbers for the past Is years, now
is the time, Professor BOrOdin states
to begin the propagation work. II
the rate Of decline increases in the
next few years as it has in the past
10 years it will not be many years
before the fish are practically extinct

WOMAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Mrs. Dulin, of Houston, in Serious
Condition at Marshall Hospital

Mrs. Florence Dulin, wife Of Rison
Dulin, farmer residing near Hous-
ton, was seriously injured late Sat
urday afternoon when gun which
she had been using to shoot crows
was accidentally discharged. Mrs.
Duin with her young son had been
killing the birds in an effort to pro-
tect her young chickens. She had
started to the house and leaned over
to pick up the. gun which she had laid
on the ground In some manner it
was exploded and the entire load of
shot took effect in her abdomen. Dr.
Samuel Marshall was called to the
scene Immediately and the injured
woman was brought to the Marshall
Hospital where an operation was per-
formed Immediately. Closer eXami-
nation disclosed a very ragged wound,
and the shot had penetrated up into
the lung space. As much of the shot
as could possibly be taken from the
wound was removed and the injury
dressed. Fears were entertained that
Mrs. Dulin would not survive the in
jury; but on Tuesday she rallied very
materially and hopes are now enter
tained for her recovery. She is about
As years Of age and has one child, q

More Hatcheries Needed Most

Professor Borodin has attempted to
interest the Fisheries Department in
the propagation Of shad and sturgeon
from the millions of eggs that are
wasted each year. He does not be-
lieve that laws on the subject of fish
ING will save the industry from eX-
tinction, but that what is needed are
fish hatcherics at the most important
points along the coast where the in
dustry is most active. Contrary to
the general belief, Professor Borodin
states that sturgeon roe can be arti-
fcially propagated. He says that he
had experimental with the eggs for
many years before coming to this
country and has seen Matched out
millions Of the valuable, young fish
He is at this time, experimenting al

Professor Borodin thinks that Del

for the establishment of a hatchery
for shad and sturgeon as this place
is, undoubtedly, the greatest point Of
activity in the shad and sturgeon in
