KEMAL PASHA has entered the
IA contest for the nonstop oratorical
championship of tie world. The gra-
ting sound that disturbed the ears
yesterday morning came from the
direction of Washington, where there
is considerable gnashing of teeth.
Renal is scheduled to speak continu-
ously for seven working days, of eight
hours each. This in itself gives our
solons cause for worry since the
eight-hour day was never popular in
congress-for congressman. Should
it come to pass that voters may be-
gin to demand something besides an
annual clam bake for their votes, be-
ing elected to congress may not
stand higher in the scale of social ac-
complishment than the landing of
job as announcer with broadcasting
station.

A LII is grist that comes to this mill
"A and when the business manager
visits the editorial rooms with a joke
slowed away in his innards-not only
do we welcome the phenomenon in an
art for arts sake spirit but also be-
cause it helps US start a column on
Monday, the toughest morning in the
week in this business. Now for the
story. Enter business manager look
ing in the direction Of this writer as
il about to announce a cut in his
salary. Instead, he observes that the
price of maple sugar has mounted in
Vermont. What the devil has maple
sugar to do with the world revolu-
ton? Why" asks a naive member
of the editorial staff, and before the
sound of the query died on his lips,
like a kick from a mule came the
reply: Because the Sap refused to
run" This is the first time the bust
ness office scored-this kind of vic
tory-over the editorial department.
So there is raucous laughter on one
side of the partition and the clicking
of angry typewriters on the other.

MIR. Barlow, drew salary of $3.50
Nh a month from the bank, but he
was not satisfied with that. Like the
motorman who would become a
patrolman, he had higher ambition.
So he drew $4,000 on the side. In
his confession he said: 81 never spent
a dime on myself. 1t all went into
my various interests. | was in
terested in several oil deals, a small
loan company, a stop signal company
that eventually would have brought
a million dollars in business. also
dabbled little in the stock market"
That's that so to speak. But if Mr.
Barlow's salary was $3.50 month in
stead of $3.50 he would have taken
$4,000. The trouble was not that
his salary was meager, but that he
was a go-getter.

GOMETHING must be done and done
y quickly about the tendency on the
part of bank officials to embezzle
funds entrusted to their institutions
by trusting depositors. Increasing
the salaries of the miscreants will
not do, for the good reason that the
guilty ones do not misappropriate
money for their own personal use, but
for the benefit of their various in
terests, whether they be oil com
panies, crap games or female affin-
tiles. Take the case Of Joseph Wilson

of the National Bank of Commerce,

Already there has been some con-

There will be an interesting pro-

and Hundreds of People From All
Parts Of State Paying Compliments
Today, Wednesday, September 28th,
is a gala day for the people of Kent
County. Hundreds OF friends joined
in the celebration at the opening Of
the Kent General Hospital at Dover.
The pressing need for an up-to-date
hospital to serve the citizens of this
community has been felt for many
years, particularly at such times when
it became necessary to send loved ones
who were sick on long journeys away
from friends and relatives to distant
hospitals in order that they might re-
ceive the specialized attention and
care which was necessary in order to
restore their health. 1t was realized
that only hospital which was up-to-
date in every respect would fill this
need. and it was also realized that the
amount of money necessary to build
and equip such a hospital would be
large.
About seven years ago, a provision
for money to assist in building hos
pital for this vicinity was made under
the will Of Frank Griffenberg, and
later, further provision was made IN
der the will of Charles G. Lister, Jr.
Realizing that first-class up-to-date
hospital was probably the greatest
need of this community, the Dover Ro-
tary Club, in 1924, appointed a COM
mittee to ascertain whether or not, IN
their opinion, it was possible to insti-
gate campaign for the realization of
this project. After careful considera-
ton and after consulting numerous
persons in various parts of the county,
this committee reported that, in their
opinion, it was possible to secure a
hospital for Kent County and that the
time was at hand to begin.
This report was unanimously accept
ed by the members of the Dover Ro-
tary Club, and ways and means of Sc
curing hospital for this community
were Immediately considered. After
careful consideration, it was decided
that an organization familiar with fl
nancing projects Of this kind would be
necessary in order to assure success,
ana members OF Lne DONeT hOLdIy y
Club agreed to underwrite the amount
Of money necessary in order to put on
a campaign. From that time on the
necessary work progressed very rap
idly. A campaign manager was en-
ployed, and a citizens meeting was
held in the State House at which
time a committee was appointed for
the purpose of organizing and putting
on the actual campaign for funds, and
a goal of 100000 was set as the
amount necessary in order to realize
the hope Of hospital for this Coun-
ty. Various persons throughout the
County were appointed to solicit funds
and very enthusiastic campaign was
conducted. People in Kent County
subscribed generously, and friends
from points outside the State made
liberal contributions, and at the end Of
the campaign it was found that ap-
proximately Sos, 100000 had been sub
scribed. An executive committee was
then appointed for the purpose Of Sc
suring a location for the hospital anc
