URGES EARLY SHIPPING
CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
Local Express Agent Urges Patrons
To Ship Early.

Because of the fact that Christ
mas Day falls on Sunday, the pleas
Of the transportation companies
for the early shipping of Christmas
packages this year have a real sig
nificance. 1t is desirable that all
deliveries be completed by Christ
mas Eve, making early shipping
even more important than in other
years. +
This fact was emphasized n
statement made today by J. M. Hol-
combe, agent Of the American Rail-
way Express Co. in Milford. He
said:
1--WE are planning to clean up our
Christmas deliveries by Saturday
night, as we know how keen is the
disappointment of the senders of
holiday packages, and the receivers
as well, especially where there are
children, if that collection of gifts
from folks out of town does not
arrive on time. We intend to do
our part in making it a Merry
Christmas"
A few days before Christmas, ac-
cording to Mr.. Holcombe, the reg
ular commercial business is over
and the express employees are all
set and eager to handle the traffic

IRENEE DU POINT AIDS
In FIGHT ON CANCER
Gives $4,000 For Research Work At
University OF Pennsylvania

Scientists bitter and unyielding
war against deadly cancer has been
augmented by Irenee du Pont of
Wilmington.
He has contributed $45,000 for the
furtherance of research in cancer.
The work will be directed by DR.. Ell
lice Mcdonald, Canadian chemist
and specialist in cancer investiga-
ton. The Graduate School Of Medi-
cine of the University of Pennsyl-
vania is the depository of the fund,
and the work will be conducted in
the hospitals and laboratories Of
that institution.
'What is your interest in cancer
research?" Mr.. du Pont was asked
by a newspaperman.
"The same interest as yours" he
answered, "and the came interest of
every man. Cancer is q deadly dis
ease. It attacks men in their middle
ages, when they are most useful to
the community and renders them
useless"
Asked why he contributed the
fund to the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, he answered that DR.. McDon-
aid is said to have discovered spe-
cific facts about changes in the blood
and cells Of the body OF cancer VIC
tins.
"The chances are remote" said
Mr.. du Pont, that cancer will be
conquered by these researches. But
despite the remoteness, I believe it
is worth trying"

SUGGEST SURVEY
OF INDIAN RIVER
Delaware Wins Point In Effort
To Have Inlet ReOpened For
Navigation.

The first victory by the Delaware
delegation in their efforts to have
the Indian River Inlet reopened has
been won, when it was unoficially
understood that the Board of Engi-
neers would recommend survey of
the project.
Only recently a delegation of Del
awareans, headed by Senator Thos.
F. Bayard and Representative Robert
G.. Houston appeared before the
board of engineers and insisted that
the Federal Government reopen the
inlet so as to restore the Indian
River bay to its natural state and
revive the profitable fishing and
grabbing industry which was de-
stroyed due to closing of the inlet,
which authorities claim was caused
by the construction of canal to the
southwark.
Representative Houston has been
hammering on this matter ever
since he became a member of the
House, and during recent months has
collected undeniable evidence, sub
stantiated by facts and the acts of
Congress, that the government was
responsible for the present condition
of Indian River Bay.
At the recent hearing before the
Board of Engineers, Mr.. Houston
presented to each member of the
board a brief, outlining the acts of
Congress establishing the Indian
River project, and no where was it
found that the government had
abandoned it.
Senator Bayard in his argument to
the board, outlined the construction
Of the inland waterway along the At
lantic coast from the standpoint of
national defense and pointed out
that the construction Of the canal
opening out of the Indian River to
the south as a part of this inland
waterway, and in that connection
the government alone was respon-
sible for the present condition,

CHRISTMAS SEAL
HEALTH MESSAGE
FOR TWENTY YEARS
Miss E. P. BisseII Originator In
America, Reviews History Of
Movement.
DELAWARE CO-OPERATES
Much Credit Given State News.
papers For Their Aid In Tuber-
culOsis Fight.

The birth of the Christmas Seal in
America and the tremendous growth
it has had in the past twenty years
was the subject of an address given
recently before the members of the
Philadelphia Health Council at the
Bellevue Stratford by Miss Bissell of
Wilmington, originator of the seal
in this country. Miss Bissell had
been asked to speak about the first
Christmas seal campaign in 1907 and
during her talk she showed the
members of the Council some of the
original seals in the original enve-
lopes which the DUPONT Company of
Wilmington provided for them.
Miss Bissell referred to the SPLEEN
did cooperation she obtained from
James T. Skelly and 7. Doremus
who at the time were connected
with the DUPONT Company and were
assigned to cooperate with Miss
Bissell by Pierre S. DUPONT.
Miss Bissell referred to this initial
effort in the fight against tubercu-
losis as a baby twenty years ago and
that the baby is still recognizable in
the grown up campaigns. She re-
ferred to the fact that the first
Christmas seal effort developed into
a drive before the days of drives.
Miss Bissell said that there were
two salient points in Christmas seal
campaigns. One educational and the
other cooperation. While the aim is
to raise money, yet this money is
afterwards used to educate people
concerning habits that would de-
stroy their health and would be liza
able in many instances to develop
tuberculosis.
Twenty years ago, Miss Bissell
stated, aside from DR.. John J. Black
and a half dozen other physicians
in Wilmington there was no interest
manifested because everyone believ-
ed tuberculosis to be both heredi-
tary and incurable. They said it was
no use doing anything for it. The
Delaware Legislature had refused
any assistance to DR.. Black over and
over again or to appropriate any
money for the fight against the
white plague.
so, we got nOId OF the people,
said Miss Bissell, "as far as we
could. The newspapers of Delaware
helped us tremendously, we received
the help of the advertising men of
the DUPONT Company who prepared
literature and placards. We appealed
to the club women to sell the
stamps. We got the schools to take it
up and made it plain to. the chill
dren what it meant. We got the lar
ger and many of the smaller stores
to sell the seals in booths, we had
placards in trolley cars, in fact, be-
fore the day of drives, we had a
drive. It was the first drive, be-
lieve, in Wilmington. It spread to
Philadelphia where the idea was en-

FLOATING OF STATE
OYSTERS IS BANNED
Old Custom Of BlOating BivaIves
Is Stopped By The Federal
Government.

Representatives of the Govern
ment are inspecting oyster packing
houses in Kent and Sussex counties
seeking to determine whether oyster
packers are violating the regula-
tions announced by the United
States public health service more
than a year ago concerning the float
ing of oysters, which ban went into
effect September 1 of this year.
The ultimation from the Federal
Health Service was made after an
inspection of oysters that had been
floated. The Government chemists
claimed there was danger of pollu-
ton from contaminated water and
the oyster packers were given a
year to make plans to eliminate this
floating.
Years ago when it was permissible
to sell oysters with the juice a per-
son who bought quart of oysters
usually got about two-thirds oysters
and one-third water. It was COM
mon practice for most packers to
float the oysters for twelve or TWEEN
ty-four hours. The bivalve became so
bloated that it required fewer to the
quart than if they had been packed
in their natural raw state.
In order to try and eliminate this
bloating the Federal authorities is
sued regulation causing all pack
ers to drain the natural juice from
the oyster and ship nothing but the
oyster itself.
In connection with this the state
board of health of Delaware made a
regulation that oyster packers could
wash their oysters in sanitary gal
vanized iron tanks but that the BIZ
valve should not remain in the tank
longer than three minutes. After
the three minutes it was claimed the
oyster began to swell or bloat.
Rumors have been current for
several months that the oyster pack
ers have been lodging the issue by
allowing the oysters to remain in
these galvanized iron tanks, pre-
sumably to be washed longer than
the three minutes the state allows.
1t was also rumored that the oysters
were allowed to remain in tubs of
water after they had been opened
and washed which virtually meant
bloating them.
It is to determine whether this
practice is general and how long
the packers should be allowed to
wash their oysters that brought
about the present investigation. The
Federal experts are approaching the
matter with an open mind and af-
ter this investigation is over will
probably issue regulation stating
how long the 9 7sters may remain in
the waters in which they are wash
ed
