Working with the precision of clock work, showing brand of snap py passing, accurate shooting and a system of checking which was in- comparable and a revelation to the small, number of spectators, the Sol diers from the Anchorage Army post won clear-cut victory over the Sew ard City basketball team last evening by the score of 31 to 10. M
 Frequent 'time outs" were called by the locals in vain attempts to shift positions and stem the overwhelming score rolling over them ' In 4streaks, the City team would display flash of form only to be obliterated a moment later by the rangy Soldiers lads who seemed, to spectators, to be always on top of the ball. The Soldiers would
 tie the locals intoi knots and before they appeared to untangle themselves, in rapid fire the visitors would be banging away with both barrels mak- ing basket after basket. a
 There never was cleaner or bet ter looking squad of cagers on the local floor than the appearance the Soldiers made. Clad in blue gym outfit and men of uniform size, it was easily seen they had it on the locals lin weight One naturally wondered last night what kind of showing they would make if they were on the short end of the score during a game. However, the score does not indicate that the City i've was or is out of the running. Up against the highly tout ed visitors it is quite probable the Seward players lacked confidence in themselves and viewed with trebida- |tion the array of talent lined up |against a stone wall defense

SEATTLE, Mar. 12. (AP) Charles W. Boyle, a mem Der of the Charter Revision Commission and secretary of the Central Labor Coun- cil, obtained a superior court order returnable, Monday forbidding the County Elec- tion Board to open the vot- ing machines and make a re- count on the City Manager plan. Doyle told the court the City Council was not a county election board and were not in legal control over elections.
 Corporation Councn Ken nedy argued against the re- opening of the election books as it might imperil the bond issue which was passed for sewers and also the election of Mrs. Landes.
 Harold Preston, chairman of the city manager cam paign committee, who had requested the board to open the machines, employed Luke s. May, Seattle detec- tive and noted criminologist to search the poll books for erasures and changes.

What This Association Can Do

,ry IN the hands OF individuals and
firms in every part of Sussex county,
just as those inquiries are placed in
The hands of individuals and firms in
other counties. But after that the
rest of the story must be told in the
terms of local initiative. When, there
fore, the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association begins to function woe
betide the community which is with
out effective local organization. One
of the aims of the association is to
assist local communities in securing
and maintaining effective organiza-
tion.
"Not only Sussex county but the
state of Delaware as a whole has a
stake in the associations program.
Delaware has a land area of approx
imtely 1,516,000 acres. In 1850, 76
per cent of this land was in farms
and 60 per cent was listed as improv-
ed. In 1920, IS per cent was in farms
and SO per cent was listed as imprOv-
ed. So far as developed acreage is
concerned, Delaware has practically
stood still for 70 years. True, there
has been an increase in the value Of
the crops produced even though in The
case of Sussex county the land unde.
cultivation has actually decreased
from 288,00O acres in 1910 to 266,00C
in 1920.

Duchess of FOntGnges

Marie Angelique, duchess of FOn-

MOntespan in the favor of Louis XIV.
"She was beautiful as an angel, but
silly as a goose" said Able ChOisi of
her. She, nevertheless, captivated the
affections of Louis XIV, who was tired
of Nine. de MOntespan.
AS soon as she had discovered the
passion she had inspired in the king,
she became naughty and eXtravagant,
spending at times as much as 100000
crowns a month. She became the gen
eral dispenser of the kings favOrs and
the model of fashion. She was made
a duchess by the king, but did not long
enjoy the rank, since she died at the
age of twenty, in the abbey of Port
Royal, at Paris.-ChicagO Journal

the day when our canning establish

tionally established. We should look
forward to the time when our strong

our state, our Peninsula is recognized
as a haven of the American worker

truthfully say that with a few acres
of land there is included economical

To Advertise Products

Another phase of the associations
of almost equal Importance
is the publicity it will give to PENN
sula products. If we set about in
creasing our yield we must perfOrce
broaden our markets. If we are to
do that, we must evolve an increased
number of standardized brands, which
in turn we can only establish by
means of up-to-date publicity and
modern marketing methods.
"The Peninsula of Florida has its
jacksonville. The Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula has it's Wilmington. And Will
mington and Jacksonville perform a
similar economic function. Both are
at the neck of the bottle; both are
world ports; both of them are distrib-
uting centers; both of them profit by
reason of a prosperous and busy ag-
ricultural and industrial hinterland.
"More business on the Peninsula
means more business for Wilmington.
The program of the Del-Mar-Va East
em Shore Association affords a plat
form upon which we can all of us
Standard stand without involving
any sacrifice of our local interests
while, on the other hand, we partici-
pate in the common benefits accruing
from a common endeavor.

Much Land UndeveIOped

"Of the 1,516,OO0 acres of land in
the state, 944,511 were titled after one
fashion or another in 1920. That
leaves it with 572,289 acres of land
which are undeveloped Now, out of
944,511 acres which we can classify
as comprising our present tillable
area, less than one-half is intensively
cultivated. Delaware, therefore, un-
questionably has tremendous pOten-
tial resource not only in her unde-
veloped land but likewise in the large
farm areas which are from every
point of view ideally adapted for one

BANK PROTECTIVE
PLAN IS PRAISED
BY MISS M DANIEL
Secretary of Indiana AsSo-
citation Speaks at Ma
tionaI Convention.
Bn Times Special

BIZ Times Special
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 5.--The
vigilante or county unit protective
plan, for safeguarding banks from
bandits, was explained and praised
by Miss Forba Mcdaniel, secretary
of the Indiana Bankers Association,
speaking before the State secretaries
section of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION convention here today.
She pointed out that while from
July, 1924, to July, 1925, the year
previous to the inauguration of the
vigilante organization, thirty-three
Indiana banks were attacked by
bandits, with loss of $S8,000 from
July, 1925, to July, 1926, the year in
which vigilantes were organized,
only nine banks were attacked, with
loss of but $4,000.
Reduction of so per cent in bank
crimes and violence and 80 per cent
in bank losses has resulted in the
past year in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Oklahoma, Kansas and Minnesota,
through operation of this protective
plan which originated in Iowa, she
asserted.
Miss Mcdaniel explained that the
plan brieHy is: A county bankers
association is organized and a coun-
ty protective organization formed
within it; rewards of 81 900 or more
for the capture and conviction Of
bank bandits, dead or alive are
offered; guards or vigilantes are Sc
lected by each bank, are appointed
deputy sheriffs and are armed.
She also told of the signal sys.
tenn, worked out with telephone COM
panies, whereby the alarm quickly
can be spread to adjoining counties
and to State headquarters.
I'm Indiana we have sixty eight
counties organized. with an army of
1,700 men equipped with 500 rifles,
1880 revolvers and plenty of am
munition.
THE lives of two assistant cash
iers were sacrificed during the reign
of banditry in Indiana prior to our
county unit protective organization"
