EMERGENCY HOSPITAL NOTES

The hospital has been extremely
busy so far during the month of
April, and at the present time twen-
ty-One patients are undergoing
treatment. During the past week IL
patients were admitted, nine opera
tions were performed, the X-ray de-
partment was kept quite busy, and
the ambulance answered one emer-
gency call. The recent addition of
the third floor for patients and our
new electric elevator which is used
constantly, adds not only to the
comfort of our patients but to the
ease with which all are cared for.
Miss Marietta Mearns of Lincoln
who underwent an operation on
April 4, is improving.
Mrs. Emma Minner of FELTON, who
underwent an operation for appendi-
citis on April 8, is recovering nice

Forests play an important part
in the everyday lives of our citizens
and every citizen of Delaware should
be interested in conserving wisely
the rapidly dwindling forests OF
Delaware. At the present rate OF
cutting it will not be many years
before Delaware's supply Of COM
mercial timber will have reached
the vanishing points. To one VINO
was familiar with our pine forests
of the Southern part of our state
ten years ago. it needs only super
fetal survey to convince one oil the
rapid disappearance of our pines Of
timber size.
There is a considerable acreage
that probably would be more Valu-
able to the state and to the owner
if permanently left in pines.
The Sussex pine (lOblolly pine)
grows very rapidly and produces
commercial timber within a short
space of time. Steps should be
taken to replant or reseed a great
deal of our cut-over lands to pine
and thus insure a steady timber
sunnlv for the future. Owners OF
lands especially suitable for grow
ing pine timber should seriously
consider the feasibility of replant'
ing such lands to pine for future
profits that will thereby accrue tC
them or to their estates.
Forestry conservation is not
matter of sentiment, it is matter
of business, and like many othel
things that which is everybody
business is nobody's business. Th'
President of the United States ant
the Governor of the state have wise
" called our attention to the i'm
portance of timber production ant
timber conservation, and have urge
upon us the seriousness of the pres
ent situation.
All civic bodies and educationa
forces of the state should strive Il
some manner to present to the pub
lie during Forestry Week the i'm
portance of our maintaining ou
timber supply as a state and natura
asset.

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

(From National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, April 14.-The politi-
cal situation here occasionally takes
on a farcial aspect. For instance,
members of Congress are making
their plans for a recess at an early
date, leaving many important tasks
untouched or unfinished. Yet the
men who are most insistent on the
recess are carefully composing cam
paign documents purporting to
show the accomplishments Of their
particular party or themselves in
this Congress.
They have been somewhat agita-
ted of late by the insistence Of the
President that some attention, be
paid to his recommendations for
legislation made at the opening of
Congress in December. Inquiry
shows that relatively few of the
majority recommendations have
been given serious study by Con-
gress. The situation affords little
partisan advantage because respon-
sibility for dilatory tactics may be
placed equally upon both parties.
Experienced observers acquainted
with the agricultural situation have
said at various times that there are
too many self-styled spokesmen of
the American farmer working in
Washington. These organizations
seem to prosper and apparently
have considerable influence at the
Capital. Those who are promoting
legislation looking to the stabiliza-
ton of the prices of farm products
through governmental agencies
have little hope for success at this
session. The Administration is not
advocating any measure Of this sort
and it would be folly to expect the
present Congress to offer a plan
without the support Of the Chief
Executive.

CARAWAY SEEDS
1From Now york Times)

(FTOm New 1OTh L ALlSoJ
Senator Caraway of Arkansas,
chose the Jefferson Day dinner in
New York as a fit occasion to make
bitter and contemptuous attack
upon President Coolidge. Now,
Thomas Jefferson had his political
enemies and cherished political ami
mosities, but he never made the mis-
take of undertaking his opponents
For years he was at swords point
with Alexander Hamilton, but he
was continually warning his follow
ers not to hold cheap that piercing
intellect and genius for public life.
If what Senator Caraway says about
Mr.. Coolidge is true, the President
ought by this time to be not only
intensely unpopular but thoroughly
discredited. Yet everybody with his
eyes open knows that he is not. His
manners and methods may not be
sufficiently demonstratiVe or explo-
sive to suit the exuberant Senator
from Arkansas, but they have suited
the needs of the day and the present
taste of the American people extra
ordinarily well.
1t is easy enough to understand
why some people do not like Presi-
dent Coolidge personally, but to
rail at him as a public man and as
a successful administrator after the
fashion of Senator Caraway is to
write ones self down a very poor
politician, to say the least. This
seems to have been the opinion OF
the Senator's audience on Saturday
evening, since the reporters noted
only mild applause" for his harsh
words about the President. Calling
for Democratic leadership, Senator
Caraway said that it should be
composite" representing all sec
tions and all elements. But we
think that there will be genera.
agreement among his party photo
graphers that he himself had now
better be left out of the picture.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Written for Milford Chronicle by
Frank P. LitSchert

ONE idea of the buying power
and the prosperity of the American
people can be gained by a STUDY Oh
tbe automobile statistics of the ma
tion. According to report recently,
released by the Bureau of Industrial
Technology, which has been con-
drcting a survey of the automotlve
industry, the nations annual bill fGr
automobiles is fourteen billion dol
lars. a per capita expenditure oil
S117. The amount spent for and on
automobiles is greater than the
value of our farm crops ana twice
as great as the sum annually eA-
pended for building.
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

The annual cost of new cars and
accessories is put at three and three
quarters billions, and the cost OF up
keep and repairs at two billions
more. Automobile owners each
wear lose two and a half billions by
depreciation and spent twelve hum
dred millions more for gasollne'
Tires cost a little more than SIX
hundred millions, while the oil bill
is three hundred millions and the
various tax bills more than six hun
dred millions more.
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

If the automobile can wipe out
sectional prejudice, as it gives
promise of doing, it will be worth
all that is spent on it. The future
of America depends upon our ma
tional feeling which is but another
word for patriotism. So long as we
think and act as Americans there is
little danger of our getting into
serious trouble as a nation. With
the east and the west, the north
and the south. thinking and acting
alike, in time of national danger,
Uncle Sam does. not have to be
greatly in fear Of anybody.
And too, while the automobile
costs money it is bringing addition
al pleasure to millions of our people
in every walk of life. Let us seek
therefore, by sound national legisla-
tion, to keep our prosperity at high
tide, so that we can keep our auto
mobiles. For it is difficult to make
a revolutionist out of a working
man who can afford to spend his
holidays skimming over perfect
roads, taking his fill of fresh air and
sunshine.
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

It is of course commonplace to
say that the automobile is PLAYING
an ever increasing part in our every
day existence. And its general in
fluence is for good. Travelling about
the country may cost money and
time, but it is making the average
American healthier by keeping him
out in the open air. and better than
all, is giving us real national unity.
AS he travels back and forth the
average citizen of the west is find
ing that the average citizen of New
England thinks and acts about as
he thinks, and the typical southern
er is finding that his doesn't differ
very much from the typical north
erner. In short we are learning by
contact that, as good Americans,
we are all pretty much the same,
that we depend upon one another,
and that our rise or fall can only
come with the rise or fall of the
entire country.
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

In addition to this the automobile
is bringing about the expending OF
a billion dollars a year for good
roads, and the time is soon coming
when all cities and towns of any
importance will be connected by
hard surface highways.
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

A few years ago these figures
would have staggered the imagina-
ton. But the World War and it's
aftermath have accustomed us to
big figures. and we now accept
them in matter-of-fact way, par
TALLY perhaps, because we cannot
Sisualize their magnitude.

tuberculosis Surgery.
SURGICAL method of giving ,

A SURGICAL method of giving III
fortunate tubercular lungs thu
rest cure is described by Prof. John
Alexander of the University of Michi.
gan. in the Journal of the Outdoor
Life.
The rib operation as this method
is called, is the most important surgi-
cal means of treating tuberculosis II
has passed the experimental stage and
has been used by European surgeons
with a remarkable degree of success.
1t consists in removing from / to S
inches of the II upper ribs where
these are Joined to the spinal cord.
The pleural cavity is no, opened and
the lung is not touched. The gaps
left by the removal of portions of the
ribs are filled when the remaining
ends come together, and the size of
the chest is reduced on the operated
side, compressing the lung am It's
activities
Within few months the cut ends
of the ribs grow together afA bony
bridges form between them. The lung
loses its power to function and has Il
chance to eliminate in time the dis
eased portions. After the tubercu-
lo,is IS healed the lung cannot be
restored. Experience has shown that
one healthy lung - enough for the
normal respiratory needs OF aH-
person.
After the wound is healed the de-
formity is very slight. Although the
lung is greatly diminished in size the
circumference of the chest does ~
appeaI much smaller because the col
lar bone holds the shoulder at it's nor
NAL distance from the body. The
range of motion and the strength of
the shoulder and arm on the operated
side are very little impaired.

Belgian Queen Receives
Historic Church Honor

The presentation of the Golden
Rose to Queen Elizabeth of the Bel
gians at Christmas, by Pope Plus XXI,
reVlVeS an ancient church custom
which the popeS have been accustomed
to bless each year, and occa Sionally
confer upon illustrious churches and
sanctuaries as Il token of special rev
erence and upon Catholic kings and
queens, princes, renowned generals
or other distinguished personages con-
SpicuouS for their Catholic spirit and
loyalty to the Holy See.
The Golden Rose is precious and
sacred ornament of pure gold made by
a skilled artiticer, and 50 fine was the
required workmanship that the work
alone cost $500. At the beginning of
this solemn function of the Catholic
church the rose was about six inches
in height, but in the progress of this
church function a vase and large
pedestal became part of the orna-
ment, SO that it weighed 30 pounds,
and was IS inches in height. and
worked into the form of a bouquet.
In the nineteenth century not a few of
the roses cost 50 900 or more.
The honor which has just been paid
to the Belgian Queen by the Pope is
perhaps the first instance of the pres
entation of the Golden Rose in the
twentieth century, and recalls Pope
Leu ALL esteem Tor Marie henrietta,
Queen of the BelgianS. in giving the
rose to her in 1893, the last time it was
bestowed in the nineteenth century
The significance of the rose and
Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday in
Lent, the day on which it is blessed,
so blend that the Sunday is often
called the Rose Sunday, and rose
colored vestments, altar, throne and
chapel draperies (signs of hope and
joy are substituted for penitential
purple during the solemn function.
The church, on this Sunday, bids her
children who have been engaged in
prayer and fasting and other peni-
tential works to look up and beyond
Calvary and see in the first ray Of the
Easter sun the Risen Christ, who
brings them redemption, and rejoice.
The golden flower and it's shining
splendor show forth Christ in His
kingly Majesty, heralded by the
prophet as the flower of the field and
the lily of the valley; its fragrance
shows the sweet odor of Christ which
would be widely diffused by His faith
full followers.

had settled in the village, for no rea-
son that any one knew and who had
been quiet, reserved and a reliable
petty tradeSman. OreSteS was very
young when his father-there was no
mother, apparently-first appeared.
Villagers remembered the boy playing
around his fathers fish-odored shop
as little more than a baby: remembered
him growing up, and remembered, too,
the time when his father led him to
the manor house and asked the chief
butler to take him into the family
service.
The boy was 2 years old then. The
father explained that, some day, he
would be going back to his old home
in Italy, but that he wanted to leave
his boy in better surroundings than
he could ever provide, and would like
to have him raised as an English Serv-
ant. The manor house butler sympa-
thized with the father, having bought
his fish for many years, and appealed
to his mistress. The duchess consented.
Orestes became member of the serv-
ant staff and had remained, saving the
few ShillingS week that were paid
him, against the time when he would
'go down to London"
He showed his savings to Inspector
Savage. They amounted to some %
pounds, more than 500. And they
were made up Of the identical shilling
and sixpences with which he had
been paid. He treasured his hoard in
a tin box underneath his cot in the
servants dormitory. Inspector Saw
age waved Orestes aside, with the
pleasant assurance of his regret at
having had to third-degree him so
long.
Inspector Savage and his assistants
at last returned to Scotland Yard pro-
foundry puzzled. When the theft of
the collection was announced in the
London Times it created a sensation

PRODUCED by st. Gregory Fl (716) or St.
Gregory III Gao A certain analogy
exists between the rose and the KEYS
as bestowed by the Pope upon illus
trlouS children Of the church. and
further, both partake somewhat q.
the nature of "a re'iIuary-the rose
containing musk al balsam. the
keys filings from the chain of ST.
Peter
The exact date Of the first giving
OF the Golden Rose is unknown. Ac-
cordlng to some historians, ii ante
dates Charlemagne 742-S1D Ac-
! cordlng 10 others it had its origin q
the end of the twelfth century. 1t is
certain, however, that ii antedates the
year 1000, since Pope Leo TX speaks
OF the rose as an ancient institution
, at his time. The blessing of the rose
was not coeVal with its institution. Ii
was introduced to "erda~ the ceremony
more solemn and induce greater rever-
ence tor 1t on the part of the recipient.
The Pope blesses the rose every
year, but it is not always a new and
different rose; the old one is used until
1t is given away. Some special merIt
must exist or some exceptional service
must have been rendered otherwise
the old one is kept at St Peters to be
blessed anew until the sovereign pom
tiff decide that some person is
worthy TO receive it.
The blessing of the rose takes place
in the Hall of Nestments and the Sol
emn mass in the papal chapel
From the beginning of the seven
teenth century the rose was sent only
to queens. princesses and eminent
noblemen; to emperorS, kings and
princesses was given the sword. 1t is
true, however, that if a Catholic en-
peror, king or some great prince were
present in Rome on Laetare Sunday
(the fourth Sunday of Lent he would
be presented with the rose if he were
deserving of it.
The office of carrying and comforting
the rose upon those living outside o
Rome was given by the Pope to car.
dinal legates, a latere nuncios and
apostolic abligates. In 1895 a new
office called bearer of the Golden
Rose" was instituted and assigned to
secret chamberlain of sword and
cloak participants.
During the nineteenth century this
rose was given to the following worthy
queens: Maria Theresa, widowed
