Old English Company

It Is known that the Fishmongers'
company is very old. but as its ar
chives were destroyed in the great fire
of London, it is only certain through
the charter granted by Edward III in
1864 that the mystery of fshmongers
had grants from the kings progenitOrs
in ancient times" In the good old
days, when Lent was kept with fish
and fasting, the company saw to 1t
that no unsound fish was sold In Bill
lingsgate market, and punished offend
ers with the stocks. With the income
from it's holdings the company sup
ports three large almshouses, one of
which is Jesus hospital In Bray. Here
''rooms with chimneys" provide fit ac-
commodation for forty old people, six
of whom are to be the most aged and
poorest decayed persons of the COM
pany of fshmongers over fifty years
of age"

will be given over to some trip to a
nearby point of educational interest.
Every member of the Short Course
must have completed some practical
farm or home project under the sup
ervision Of the County Club Agents
and local volunteer leaders, and have
their records completed up to August
1st. About 100 club members and
leaders can be accommodated in the
dormitories in Harter Hall, and en-
rollment is limited to approximately
this number. The enrolment is not
limited to those coming on scholar
ships, but other members who meet
the requirements may attend by pay
ing their own expenses.
The scholarship plan was started by
the Delaware State Bankers Associa-
ton in 1919, and member banks were
asked to contribute scholarships val
ued at $1,000 each to enable deserving
boys and girls to make the trip. Many
banks in the state have continued
their scholarship offers over the period
of seven years since the first Short
Course. AS a result of circular let
ters of information sent out by Mr..
Cobb, other business organizations
and many individuals have become in
terested in this plan and have donated
$1,000 scholarships.
During the last three years Mr..
Cobb states that a number of boys and
girls have either paid their own ex-
penses, or have been sent on funds
raised locally by their club groups.
Due to this increasing interest the en-
rollment has more than doubled.
Speaking Of the effect Of the Short
Course on club members, Mr.. Cobb
said 81 do not believe that the people
of Delaware need to be told what All
Club Work is. We have members and
leaders in practically every rural com
munity of the state. Their work has
been demonstrated at fairs and meet
ings of all kinds for over ten years,
and our boys and girls have brought
many honors to our state from their
participation in interstate competi-
ton"
These boys and girls who come to-
US at the Short Course every year,
work and play together for week.
They go back home inspired with new
ideals, and a greater respect for the
industry Of agriculture. Many form
er Short Course members are becom-
ing leaders in their home commun-
tiles. Through their contact with the
University as club members, many Of
them have later enrolled as regular
students, and we find them represent
ed in every class of the University
today. This is as it should be for our
Extension Work is definite part of
the University program, and we have
this year over one thousand boys and
girls enrolled in the three counties"

During the previous year Peter
Cooper, the American philanthropist,
had constructed a locomotive at his

called the "Tom Thumb" and was
tried on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, but was too small for any prac-
teal use. A locomotive was imported
from England In 1929 and served as a
model for the American builders, al

NeID Life for Leather

A young Scottish chemist has In
vented a process for regenerating
leather and other substances. The
product is hardly distinguishable from
real leather, and is about half the
price of hides.
The leather is first ground into a
fine powder and any impurities re-
moved. A small quantity of binding
substance is then added, which turns
it into a dough. This, together with
a coloring mixture, is milled until the
whole becomes a uniform mixture. It
is then pressed on to strong backing
cloth.

An Expert

"Julia, do you know what love it?"
The young man put the question in
an intense voice.
"Yes," replied the girl, firmly.
"But do you really known" he asked
again. Have you ever been the OBJ
ject of love as undying as the sun,
as all-pervading as the air, as wonder
ful as the stars? Have you ever loved
and been loved like that, Julia?"
In an agony of suspense he waited
for her reply.
"Have II" she murmured. "If you
will come up into our boxroom, 1 can
show you a trunk full of letters, and
three albums full of photographs, and
In my jewel-case are seven engage
ment rings!"

The Selfish Sex

women are such selfish creatures
There was an extra chop at breakfast
and my wife insisted upon my eating
1t. 1t was all because she wanted to
revel in the satisfaction of self-denial.
A case of pure selfishness."
'And what did you do?''
"Oh, let her have her own way

many husbands as indulgent as am.

SHIP SALE

Members of the United States
Shipping Board came before the
Senate Commerce Committee today
to explain their action in selling to
Stanley Dollar the five mail ships
of the Admiral Oriental Line.
Actual signing Of the contract for
the sale was forestalled last week
by a resolution introduced by Sena'
tor McNary R) of Oregon, and
adopted by the Senate. 1t charged
that the boards acceptance of the
Dollar bid. ''aided a monopoly on
Pacific shipping"
The committee was divided early
in the hearing over the purposes OF
the shipping act of 1920, which pro-
vided for 1.-The building up and main
tenance of an adequate merchant
marine" giving the Shipping Board
authority to sell all it's merchant
ships to private interests "as soon
as practical
Chairman Jones R) of Washing
ton, declared that the sale of the
ships was of secondary Importance.
1.-THE building up and mainte-
nance Of an adequate merchant ma
rine is the primary purpose of this
act" Jones declared. There is no
warrant in the law to sell our ships
on any terms in order to get them
into private hands. That is of Sec
ondary importance"
