JOSIAH MARVEL HEADS STATE
CAMPAIGN FOR ORPHANS

Josiah Marvel, one of the sLate s
leading attorneys, has accepted the
Craftsmanship for the Delaware cam
paign of the American Legion for
its national S5,000,000 endowment
fund for disabled veterans and war
orphans.
In accepting the leadership of the
Legion soldier and orphan relief
movement, Chairman Marvel declar-
ed that Delaware is ready to hear
the appeal of the Legion for the two
largest Glasses of sufferers of the
World War.
"I am confident that Delaware
will respond to this undertaking in
characteristic fashion," he said.
Nothing could be more worthy than
the establishment of a fund which
will guarantee permanently the op-
pOrtunity for disabled veterans to
rehabilitate themselves and nothing
could be of greater Importance than
the Legion proposal to see that the
orphans are given a square deal.
There are $4,000 war orphans in
the country, of whom it is estimated
5000 are in Strengthened circum-
stances. It is the duty of all of us
to see to it that these orphans are
given the care they need.
"The Legion has a plan which will |
mean a home for every homeless Or
Dhan. These waits of war will be |
kept in their mothers homes where |
possible with the Legion giving as
5istance to the mother. In other
cases legal adoption into good homes
will be sought. The Legion is es-
billots for the care of still
others who must be provided with
ZONES.
while the Legion has assumed
his great task as labor of love for
hose who sacrificed so much for
heir country, the rest of us cannot
lllow the Legion to shoulder the
burden alone. know Delaware will
10 her part"
Chairman Marvel is president of
he State Bar Association and chair
nan of the committee on American
Of the American Bar As
ISOLATION.
A. Lindsay Skorry will represent
rational Legion headquarters in the
and will confer with
chairman Marvel and Legion Off
ers during the progress of the
for Delaware's quota.

Auto Tag Profit
81 Gents o. Pair,
Figures Reveal

Somebody's reaping terrible
profit from automobile tags in
Washington, according to figures
made public today in the printed
report of the District of Columbia
appropriation hearings on Capitol.
Hill
Motorists who pay 81 for their
tags are probably unaware of the
fact that they cost only 1914 cents.
Such was the information given
the committee by Commissioner
Rudolph.
That makes a clear profit of S6S6
cents for the middleman, who hap
pens to be Wade H. Coombs, super
tntendent of licenses for the Dis
trict. Mr.. Coombs is just an agent
for the municipal government,
however, so personally he would
profit just as much If he sold the
tags at cost.
This department is more than
self-sustaining? Representative
Ayres asked Commissioner Ru-
dolph.
Yes" the Commissioner replied,
pointing out that at present there
is a balance of $SS750 on hand.
