$4,000 gold rubles "a gold ruble 10
equivalent to SO cents American
money!. Taken in conjunction with the
fact that the Soviet budget for 1924
was not only balanced, but that a
respectable surplus" was accumulat-
ed, the economic security Of the So
Wet Union is proved beyond question,
and out of the mouths of its enemies.
How this affects the lives Of the
workers may be shown by the follow
ing short quotation from the speech
of zinoviev before the enlarged exec
utive committee Of the Communist In
ternational on March %, when he
said:
Furthermore, the wages OF the
workers in Moscow, Leningrad and
other towns, during the last three
months, in a number of branches of
industry. have exceeded pre-war
wages"

Hiding the Truth.

1t is notable that the department of
commerce statement shown above,
was printed in the capitalist press on
the financial page, the DAILY WORK
Err taking it from the Chicago Daily
News Of May 9, where it was hidden
away between market story headlines
about Wheat Price Smash" Hog
Values" and 'News and Gossip of the
Pits" Yet on the editorial and news
pages, the Chicago Daily News still
follows the exploded myth that so
Wet Russia is an economic vacuum"
1t goes without saying that If the
Soviet imports are one-ffth from
America with all the handicaps of
trading without recognition and treaty
facilities, the recognition of Russia
would increase the proportion to at
least double or treble the figure and
give work to many unemployed.

Earliest Book Plates

II probably was because books We're
so few and precious in that early dawn
of bOokmaking and printing and Illus
trating that the first book plates were
not as book plates are today. A king
or queen or lord or lady did not have
printed a mere tag, reading: This book
belongs to Beatrice Aragon." Instead,
Beatrice of Aragon, for her book plate,
had her picture together with the pic
ture of her husband Matthias l. Corn
mus, king of Hungary l443-9O, at the
foot of page two in their joint book.

Inundus de SigiSmundus and illuminat-

All in all, those early days of books
had much in their favor. You didn't
have to worry much about borrowed
volumes. You had no worries, either
about sectional bookcases. Your one

MILK TESTING MACHINE RULES
State Chemist Hanson Says All Test
ing Outfits Must be up to Standard

Dairying, one of Delaware's prin-
cipal industries,t ook another step for
ward this week when the first move
was made at the State Laboratories
in Dover to standardize and grade all
milk-testing instruments used thruout
the state. This standardization work
is required by law, but could not be
put into operation until the necessary
machinery was installed in the labor
atories, State Chemist H. H. Hanson
stated last Saturday that the grading
devices were now at hand and the
work would begin at once.
1t has been the custom in the dairy
ing industry for the creameries to
take samples of milk supplied them
by the farmers and to test this milk
for its content of butter fat, payment
being made on the percentage of but
ter fat contained in the milk. COnse-
quently every creamery in the state
has one or more sets of the testing in
struments, while many of the farm
ers, if not all, have similar sets so as
to provide a check on the creamery
! tests.
| With these instruments coming from
several manufacturers it has been
learned that all are not graded exact
ly alike and that in a few cases err
rors have crept in through defects in
manufacture. Under the new system
the manufacturers will send these in
struments first to the State Labora-
tories where they will be examined
and graded. Those passing the re-
quirements will be marked with a
sand-blowing machine and sent on to
the creameries or farmers to whom
they are consigned.
Captain Hanson declared that the
State Board of Agriculture had not
yet decided to have the testing set;
now in use recalled for examination
but that such action would probably
be taken in the near future.
A milk testing set consists of twC
babcock glasses, the first of whicl
measures the percentage of butte
fat by recording the rise of tn
cream, while the second is used il
testing the cream; and a pipette
which measures the amount of mill
tested in cubic inches.

whereby S4O0 year is set aside from
the oyster revenue collections for the
repair and upkeep of this road to Ma
sons but for some reason it has never
been used, until now there is an ac-
cumulation of over $4,000 which would
be put on the road to make it pass
able.
There seems to be some question
as just who owns the road and who
should take the initiative in putting
it in condition for travel. The keep
er of the light at Mahon is a govern
ment officer on government land. The
marsh leading to the light is practi-
cally anybody's land, and the question
arises as to who is responsible for the
upkeep of the road.
The court visited the road and will
likely make some report next week.
The court also visited the county
Jail at Dover and will likely recon-
mend some improvements for the
safety of the sheriff as we'll as to
prevent further escapes from the
prison.
The court passed a resolution pro-
viding that the poles of the Kent
County Electric Company shall be at
least 25 feet apart on the county
roads.

pointed out that the keeper of the
light was not the only one affected by
the bad road, but many persons who
become stranded near the MahOn light
call on the lighthouse keeper and his

first degree grand larceny.
When his brokerage firm failed In

sets to cover s1,500,000 OF liabilities.
The number Of customers who later
presented claims was 2,062, and they
finally got a cent and a half on the
dollar.
The grand larceny conviction was
based on charges that Lilly misap-
propriated $4,000 belonging to oliver
Haglan OF Ridgef1eld, N. ].
All the evidence points conciu-
sively to the fact that Lilly deliber-
ately went into business for the sole
purpose of opening a bucket shop"

TELLEZ PRESENTS

New Mexican Envoy Ap-
priSeS President of Coun-
try's New Aims.

Manuel Teller, the first accredited
ambassador from Mexico to the
Cnlted states since the resumption or
relations between the two countries,
presented his credentials to Presi-
cent Coolidge yesterday afternoon
and told the Executive that the strug-
gle through which the Mexican people
had passed in the last decade had
oorne beneficial and wholesome re-
suits"
The new Ambassador said "it Is the
nrm purpose of my government TO
do its utmost" in the work of national
reconstruction and to use all the
energies that are freely at it's disposal
TO improve the condition of the needy
rational and practical education.
The consciousness that Mexico has
or its International obligations and its
earnest desire to cooperate in the
concert OF nations as useful and re-
spected factor" continued Ambas-
sador Tellez, "is shown by its en-
deavors, even during the most bit
terest times of her difficulties, to save
interests foreign to her internal con-
fiicts from injuries or dangers. or to
indemnify for them.
Offers True Friendship.
Thus. Mexico, under her own
initiative, offered and accepted to
examine the obligations that she
thought were due for such occur
rences, not by resorting to the aid OF
Old precedents in international law,
out to the actual value of the prin-
cipIes of equity and justice con-
quered, In their evolution, by senti-
ments of humanity"
Mexico, said the Ambassador.
shelters the desire and purpose
"nlch coincide with her interests of
oHerlng true friendship to all those
peoples willing to accept it and ready
70 reclprocate IL upon the basis of
the strfctest equality"
The problems of special nature be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
concluded Ambassador Teller. shall
be always sufficient reason for my
government to place special stress in
II desire and in It's purpose to cultivate
with the greatest sincerity the friendly
relations that happily exist of old be-
tween the two nations"
Replying, President Coolidge said
the constant endeavor of Mexico to
achieve the declared purposes of the
government was being followed
with the most sympathetic interest
by the Government and people of the
United States" The perpetuation of
the cherished friendship, which has
SO happily existed between the two
peoples, he added, rests upon a firm
basis or cordiality and a policy of
mutual respect and consideration"
