delivered by William E. Skellenger of

said that he always turned away from
looking into the face of a veteran
with a feeling of reverence different
from any other emotion. He paid
simple tribute to the men before him,
who had fought for the preservation

OVER 700 INQUIRIES RECEIVED
Broadcasting of the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula Over Station WIZ New
York Bringing Results -

More than seven hundred inquiries
from thirty different States, and Can
adian Provinces all seeking inforrna-
ton regarding the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula, have been received by the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association as
the result of their first two programs
broadcast from Station WIZ, New
York City, on the evenings Of October
A and II. Officials of the Association
announce this to be the most impress
sive result obtained thus far in any
method of advertising which they
have undertaken.
That the weekly "Del-Mar-Va
Hours" became instantaneously popu-
lar is evidenced by the tone of the in
quiries received. Almost without ex-
ception the large number of letters
and cards mailed to the Association
carry congratulatory comment and lay
stress on the attractive nature of the
programs themselves. Many give di-
rect mention of the fact that they are
impressed with the descriptions rela-
tive to the country and ask for furth-
er detailed information. Quite a num-
ber express intention of visiting the
Eastern Shore and have asked for
specific data as to routes, accommoda-
tions, ETC., which the Association is
supplying.
Last Monday the Del-Mar-Va en-
tertainers presented at their regular
hour, from $50 to $50 o'clock, their
fourth program, which was "An Old
Time Husking Bee" The setting for
this was in one of the Maryland East
ern Shore Counties and covered sec
tions which heretofore have not been
reached.
The Association in producing these
programs is endeavoring to fairly re-
present each of the fourteen counties
in a favorable manner although it is
explained that officials of the Radio
Corporation of America, who own
Station WIZ, under no circumstances
permit too much explanatory and de-
scriptive talk. This is pointed out by
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associa-
tion officials as being of value to Del
Mar-Va programs, owing to the fact
that with its highly talented orchestra
and recording artists, the splendid
musical programs with just sufficient
reference to convey the purposes of
the Association in advertising the
Peninsula, is certain to hold the in
terest of the radio audience.
So popular has the Del-Mar-Va
Hour become that several public
spirited communities are considering
seriously the plan to carry on with
additional Del-Mar-Va Hours, each to
be devoted exclusively to the commun-
tiles who desire to promote at their
own expense an individual community
program. Officials of the Association
feel that arrangements may be made
to continue the Del-Mar-Va Hour un-
der such a plan, although there has
been ne definite decision made on this
phase of the air advertising.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
From the President OF the General
Federation of Women's Clubs

Tighten your grip upon today and
live it as intensely and as sincerely as
you can, for tomorrow never comes.
Today's opportunities neglected be-
come haunting ghosts of regret; ac-
cepted, they ease and beautify paths
up the mountains of achievement.
Educate yourselves for mental con-
troll, for leadership, for service, and
not for superficial decoration.
Rejoice over the fine ideas of your
associates and help to put them into
operation.
Glorify every worthy thought of
your own by giving it to the world
ready for use.
Have convictions. Learn to take a
stand. Prove your position. Test its
reaction for good or evil. Share it
and defent it if it meets the former;
weigh it and suppress it if it does not
honorably add to the joys of man
kind.
DO your share to steady the rock
ing world; a few more dips in the
wrong direction and we shall be sub
jects for the dredging crew.

SCIENCE ADVANCE TO END WAR
Edison, the Aged Inventor, Tells How
He Discovered Electric Lighting

Thursday was the 47th birthday of
the electric light. Thomas "A. Edison,
who invented it, is convinced that his
profession blazes the way to universal
peace. Invention has not led to war;"
he said. Invention has produced a
reasoning, and a questioning age.
People are becoming, because Of the
changes brought about by invention,
more intelligent, and will not stand
for exploitation by emperors and
kings and societies. There is more
reasoning and questioning today than
ever before. We are in the process
of discarding those things, which in
the past have been breeders of war,
and oppression.
'"The field is unlimited. If were
to begin my career over again, /
would turn to electric light, heat and
chemical reactions. The young man
so inclined should have no hesitation
in taking up invention as profession,
provided he has imagination and the
will to work"
Mr.. Edison, stopped by age, care
lessly dressed, with faded white rose
dropping from the lapel of his old of
fee coat, took time from his work, a
rarely granted privilege, to recall the
days that followed his discovery that
a loop of carbonized sewing thread,
sealed in a bulb from which the air
had been pumped, and connected with
electric current, would burn for 48
hours.
On New Years eve, 1879, he re-
nembered, 5000 persons travelled to
Menlo Park to view the amazing new
lamp from which developed one of
the worlds greatest industries, but it
was not until 1882 that the first CEN
tral generating station, in Pearl
street, New York, was placed in OPP
Grafton.
Much has been done since that day
in developing electricity, but even
more remains to be done, he declared.
Farm power he believes the most
pressing need, meaning by that the
extension of transmission lines so that
electrical power can be available to
every farmer in the country, at low
cost.
The inventors talk is spotted with
the word "cost". His energies are
constantly directed toward reduction
of cost, so that the benefits of inven-
tion may be available to more people
Although Mr.. Edison was born S4
years ago, he told his interviewer with
a smile that he really was 1876 years
old. "The average man." he explain
ed, "would need that many years to
put in as many hours work as have
in my 84.p

Coal

It seems very important to the
purchasing public to shop around in
summer and get bargains when they
want to buy their winter supply Of
coal or part of it, and take it without
screening, and call it good, clean coal.
We think it very important to have
coal in our yard to serve the public
twelve months in the year. Do
these people that say they give you
bargains in summer when coal is easy
purchased and prices low-do they
have coal in winter when coal is
scarce and high? No!
We are prepared to fill your bins
now. Let US have your orders now
while coal is at the lowest price.

KENT COUNTY PRISON IS FOUND
SANITARY BY KENT GRAND JURY
KENT COUNTY ALMSHOUSE is
ALSO IN GOOD CONDITION
Urge An Infirmary to Take Care of
the Aged and Helpless in the
COunty-Other Court Cases

In Kent County Superior Court
Thursday, final DEGREES in divorce
were granted as follows: Helen Smith
ers Short from Daniel C. Short; Reu-
ben D. Roland from Hilda w. Roland;
Homer v. Voshell from Matte Sull-
van Voshell. In the Court of General
Sessions the grand jury, just prior to
visiting the Kent County Almshouse
for the annual inspection, returned
true bill against Samuel Jones, alias
Samuel Barrett, negro, charged with
carrying concealed a deadly weapon.
The case of Thomas II. Cannon, in
dicted for larceny, was heard by a
jury in which Cannon, negro, acted
as his own counsel, denying the lar
ceny of hand bag, taken from the
Harrington station some weeks ago.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Sentence was deferred. The court was
engaged for the remainder of the day
in hearing the case of Enoch David of
Dover, indicted for assault and bat
terry on Samuel E. Adkins of Laurel,
the assault including the running into
a truck in which Adkins was seated,
by David, in which one of Atkins legs
was so badly crushed that amputation
was necessary, and severely injuring
other parts of his body. The affair
occurred on August 81 last on the
state highway, north of Denney's Cor
ner.
The grand jury returned to the
| - &Ln ga on6
presented their annual report which
was received and ordered spread on
the records of the court. 1t was as
follows:
Having completed our work for the
year we, the grand jury, respectfully
submit the following report:
Seventy-four indictments have been
considered, of which seventy-two have
been returned to the court as true
bills and two ignored.
It is the sense of the grand jury
that the prison is kept in as sanitary
a condition as can be expected from
the construction of the building, which
is rather antiquated, but it recon-
mends that the county furnish suffi-
Cl6HL new LlChS, LWO 4OI cdCIi DSu,
which should be reflled and washed at
least every month and oftener if nee
essary. Furthermore, it recommends
that the floors be changed to concrete,
lproperly constructed so as to be
dampproof is possible, to facilitate
cleoning. We also recommend that
the front door of the prison be put in
a modern condition so that food may
be passed in to the prisoners without
the door being opened.
The jury was very much impressed
with the very excellent condition in
which they found the county aims
house. The general appearance of the
premises was good. The stock, both
horses and cattle, were of good quail
ty and very well kept. The outbuild-
ing and implements were in good re-
pair. The inmates, 81 in number
seemed as comfortable and happy as
could be expected in the institution
and very frequently commended the
overseer on his attention to them
We do recommend an infrmary, ,either
new or an old building remodeled fol
this purpose, and money provided fo1
an attendant to care for the helpless
ones. We also recommend that the
building for the colored persons be
either remodeled or new quarters
built.

See arizona Again :
Is Slogan Urged by Widely Known Phoenss Author
By f. o. WHITMAN

The same at Flagstaff, and all
through the country south along the
lakes and Oak Greek. Early one Mon
day morning Is Southern Arizona cars
were parked in one block in Flagstaff; /;
at that rate there must have been 100
in town as fair average. Mormon
Lake looked like Salt River Valley
picnic. Oak Creeks lodges and
camping places were crowded with
Arizonans as well as outside tour
lists. Prescott, like Flagstaff, might
have been taken to be in almost any
county in the state, if one started
counting licenses. Notwithstanding
the heavy trans-continental travel on
the Old Trails route, one car in ev-
cry three or four was from Arizona
southern or central Arizona.
The Grand Canyon, however, was
the biggest eye-opener. A few years
ago an Arizona license was some
thing of curiosity there. This sum-
mer they formed a very respectable
percentage of the total number of
cars that entered the bark-just how
large a percentage it will be interest
ing to note when the park service
figures on the "travel year" ending
this month are available. But down
at Bright Angel camp seven out of
a group of twenty parked cars bore
the familiar black and white, and
fully fourth of the cars passed on
a drive along the rim were from Ari-
zona counties. In the lobby of Ell
Tovar, where an Arizonan used to
die of loneliness in all the crowd of
easterners, southern Arizona resi-
idents We're congregating as calmly
as if New Workers and Iowans didn't
exist.
The summer resorts, too, show the
influence of the "See Arizona idea.
This year the writer must have seen
twice as many as two years ago.
Mormon Lake has two new lodges
and subdivision area that is BOOM
ing; the White Mountains have sew
eral new resorts; Lake Mary, Stone
man Lake, Oak Greek, The Goodfel-
low Ranch at the Tonto Natural
Bridge, and half dozen other resort
centers have made great expansion
in their accommodations. The new
hotel under construction at Flagstaff
could have been used very nicely this
season, if it could have been finished
in time, for that city in the pines
was crowded.
Highway construction, of course,
has had good deal to do with the
big increase in Arizona travel in all
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-08

resort sections of the state-and in
them must be included the Chirica-
haus and other mountain areas in the
southeastern section, for they toe
have had a record number of Ari-
zona visitors all summer. 1t has a
lot to do, also with the fact that
more and more out-of-stat tourists
are pausing for side trips and for
extended stays at scenic spots. But
poor roads as well as good roads got
their share of traffic, and Seeing
Arizona" was the ruling motive.
It's been great thing, this busi-
ness of Seeing Arizona" It's real
popularity undoubtedly is because
Arizona holds so much that is worth
seeing, but the fact remains that it
took advertising to start it. And
now it's started; now that Arizona
people are thoroughly sold on "See
Arizona First" and "See Arizona
Again." now that outsiders are get
ting the bug and stopping to 'See
Arizona" too, it promises to be the
greatest thing that ever happened
for the development Of Arizona's i'm
mense summer Fairgrounds.
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-08

First it was "See Arizona First. +"
So many people started doing it the
slogan was changed to "See Arizo-
na," by way of limiting that one could
see it more than once. And now 1T
looks like another change would be
necessary, to "See Arizona Again"
because at the present rate everyone
will have "seen Arizona" once or
twice by the time another season is
over.
All of which is to say that the "See
Arizona" movement which has had
its full share Of comment in the
press the past few years has develop
ed into a real Arizona institution.
just how big it has grown one does
mt realize until he starts Seeing
Arizona" too-until he counts the
Arizona licenses on the cars on Ari-
zona's highways and byways, and
starts talking with the garagemen
along the trails
Two years ago the writer made a
motor trip through northern Arizona
toward the end of the vacation seal
son. 1t was then the third year after
Phoenix motor car dealers began
talking "See Arizona First" the
first year of the campaign statewide.
It was, you may remember, the year
of the foot and mouth" disease scare
in California, which cut summer tour
ist travel to the bone. Arizona cars
already were numerous on the north
ern highways, and time and again
business men remarked that Arizona
travel had been a tremendous help in
that off season.
Last month the writer made an
other trip, at almost the same time
over the same route. The results
were astonishing. Arizona cars had
doubled and trebled all along the
road; Arizona people were camping
everywhere one stopped. Outside
cars of course outnumbered those
from southern parts of the state, but
not overwhelmingly.
Springerville was the first point
at which definite check was made.
Observers there reported that from
two to three times as many people
from other counties had visited there
this season, as compared with any
previous summer They came with
the opening of the fishing season.;
they came via Rice and over the new
Coronado Trail from Clifton; and
others arrived as fast as they went
on. And next summer will find an
even greater number in the White
Mountains.
