ScIUs NOtc
Asuncion. Paraguay. Dec. II
WP)-Foreign Minister Geronimo
Zubizarreta in a note to Secretary
of State Kellogg today accepted on
behalf of Paraguay the offer OF the
Pan-American arbitration and con-
citation conference at Washington
to mediate the dispute between
Paraguay and Bolivia.
The note said the offer Of Argen-
tina to mediate the affair had been
accepted previously.
The Note
The note said:
Il nearby answer the note which
Your EXcellency honored me with
in Offering the good offices OF the
Pan-American arbitration and con-
ciliation conference. At the precise
moment, this government was con-
sidering a message to Your Excel
lency stating that Bolivia had in
vaded our territory with numerous
troops, attacking without previous
declaration of war. our points of
vigilance and forts and bombarding
our military positions.
I'm this manner, Bolivia responds
to the recommendation made 10
both countries not to provoke acts
to obstruct the peaceful procedures.
This was all carried out under the
excuse that my country owes Bo.
livia reparations. Paraguay was the
first TO offer to submit the question
to an impartial tribunal and re.
quested an investigation of the con-
f1ict as being Indispensable for
Judgment. II this had been carried
out. then would have been the mo-
ment to fix responsibilities and
Legitimate sanctions. Bolivia at
tempts to replace this, method by
an anticipated condemnation of the
conduct of my government.
Requests Condemnation
BOLIVIA requests that Paragua,
be condemned before being Judged
which Is absurd. In order to obtain
peace, 1t is worth further effort at
least. so my government believes
and through the present and previ-
GUS conduct of Bolivia does not Jus.
tify any hope. am instructed tc
transmit to your the acceptance Of
the good Offices OF the Pan-Ameri
can arbitration and Cancellation
conference and also to communicat,
to you that Paraguay has modified
her army. although only as a de.
fensive measure, because the eravit,

The race for the Oregon country
began in 1884 when missionaries
penetrated that far western terri
tory. The Hudson Bay company fur
traders were also in that region and
a struggle developed between the
pioneers and traders as to which
could establish their claims of SOW
ereignty. A provisional government
was set up by the Americans in
ls43. The treaty of 1916 between
Great Britain and this country set
tied the controversy, extending the
boundary.
The following resolution has been
passed by the Oregon Trail Memo
rial association in connection with
Mr.. Meeker's trip:
"Inasmuch as Henry Ford has ex-
pressed the desire to have the OK
mobile in which Ezra Meeker, presi-
dent Of the Oregon Trail Memorial
association, Inc, in making his sixth
transcontinental journey over the
Oregon Trail. placed in the Ameri-
can Museum when the Oregon Trail
Memorial association shall have COM
pleted its palms for using the 'oxmo-
bile.
Therefore be il resolved that said
'oxmobile' be placed IN Henry Ford's
American Museum at such time as
the Oregon Trail association shall
feel the 'oxmobile' has served the
purposes of the association. and.
BE il further resolved that Ezra
Meeker as president Of the Oregon
Trail Memorial association, Inc. ex-
presses TO Henry Ford the apprecia-
ton Of the Oregon Trail Memorial

its work"

Meeker's purpose is to immortal

TWO NEW
BODY MODELS
Chrysler '75' Sedan,
Coupe Have New
Improvements

Two new custom convertibie-type
body styles on its "75" chassis are
announced by Chrysler as ready for
display at many of its salesrooms
throughout the country. They are
the convertible sedan and convert
IDLE coupe; the former Of five-pas-
senge- capacity, the latter with
rumble seat, golf compartment and
other features.
Both bodies are by Locke, spe-
cially built to Chrysler specifica-
tions and improvements in convert
ible type construction. At the same
time, points out j. w. Frazer. Chrys-
Ter sales manager, prices have been
brought down to an exceptionally
moderate figure. The sedan lists
at SPAS and the coupe at $685. each
at Detroit.
Addition Of these two new body
styles broadens out the "75" line to
eight body styles in a variety of
color combinations, upholstery, body
trim and other finish.
The convertible sedan combines
the lururiousness and comforts Of
a smart, distinctive sedan type body
with the dash and freedom Of a
specially-built phateton, giving the
owner all the advantages of two dis
tinct body styles on one chassis,
Mr.. Frazer says. All pillars are
specially designed, with the front
four integral with the body. The
top frames heavily constructed side
pieces clamp securely to the pillars
affording body rigidity and strength
comparable to customary rs" sedan
body construction. Rear pillars, top
bows and side pieces fold back and
fit into a hand tailored boot extend
ing out over the back of the body
in a streamline, providing an un'
usually compact and neat appearing
assembly.
Front compartment windows may
be lowered into the doors when con
version to the open type is de-
sired. Those for the real compart'

FEDERAL OFFICERS
nab MAN AND WIFE
OPERATING STILL
Charles DickersOn, Already Out
On Bond For Liquor Making,
Arrested Wednesday.
OFFICERS HID In WOODS
Men Concealed Themselves In
Bushes Until Mr.. And Mrs.
DickersOn Started Still.

Federal Prohibition officer N. E.
Jet and his assistants arrested
Charles Dickerson and his wife on
Wednesday afternoon, on the charge
of illegal manufacturing of liquor.
Dickerson is already under bond for
the same offense, he having been
held by Justice of the Peace Hen
drixson about four weeks ago. At
that time Robert McColley went on
his bond. The arrest of the man and
woman on Wednesday was not with
out it's thrills. When the officers
arrived at the scene, they found all
of the pharaphernalia for the max
ing of liquor, but nobody was
around. Hoping that the owners of
the still would make their appear
ance soon, the officers hid them
selves in nearby bushes, almost en-
tirely surrounding the place and
awaited developments. Soon after
the men had concealed themselves
and his wife are alleged
to have come to the still. It is charg-
ed that they built fire under the
still and soon had it steaming.
At this stage of the raid the Off
GERS made their appearance and ar
rested Mr.. and Mrs. Dickerson. They
came to Milford where they stopped
at the Office of Magistrate Hendrix
son, but they later decided to take
the prisoners to Dover where they
were to be held over night before
taking them to Wilmington. The Off
GERS had large copper still and a
quantity of liquor of first and sec
ond running which they said had
been taken at the scene of the ar
rest.

LOCAL MINSTREL
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Milford Boys Did Themselves
Proud At Alumni Benefit In
Plaza Theatre.

On Thursday night of last week
Milford's white Rose Ministries"
presented one of the best minstrel
shows ever seen here, before an
audience that appreciated and thor
oughly enjoyed every act. The show
was a screaming success from the
time the curtain went up on the
opening chorus by the White Rose
black-faced boys, until the Hawai-
ian Knights, with their excellent
selections, ended the program. The
end men were particularly well
suited to their roles, telling their
clever and original stories and
Jokes in an unusually funny way.
These were Eggie Denney, Jim Pet
tyiohn, Eddie Evans, Bud Adkins
and Jack Mayhem. Jim Pettyjohn
sang "She Don't Wanna" Harold
Hatfield, "My Blue Heaven" Bud
Adkins, "On a Dew, Dew, Dewey
Day." "My Ohio Home" was sung
by Asa Gray, and "Is She My Girl
Friend" by Eggie Denney. William
Kitchens sang "O'er the BillOwy
Sea" and Jack Mayhem 81 Amt Got
Enough to Pass Around" An ex-
ceedingly clever little skit, BEAT 1t
and How" was presented by Jane
Harrington, Alice Breme and Myron
Boone, who were all as good as pro-
fessionals, getting lots of applause.
Gilbert and Harrington were 1.-TWO
Darn Fools" in their act, but every
body liked them. Two opponents of
terpsichorean art appeared i'll Step
pin Around. Then the Hawaiian
knights D. Merrill, I. H. Merrill,
Edward Scanlon and Joseph Hos
kins-completed the program, with
an act for which no praise could be
too high. Last but not least the

MUST CERTIFY TO
TRANSPORTATION
State Board OF Education Issues
Instructions For Trustees

The following letter has been
sent to all school trustees in the
State by the State Department of
Education, relative to allowance
for transportation of pupils: AN
application for transportation al
lowance must be certified to by at
least one trustee of the child's resi-
dent district:
"a trustee of a high school dis
trict should not certify to transpOr-
tation applications of children at
tending that school unless these
children actually live in that high
school district, or a closed district.
In order that we may have informa-
ton as to about where the child
lives, in case he lives in a closed
district, should be given as the resi-
dent district, instead of that which
the closed district is consolidated.
eff this department were to under
take to verify all distances given on
the applications, the expense in
volved would absorb a large portion
of the appropriation intended to be
used for the transportation of school
children. An allowance to a child is
based upon his school grade and
the distance of his home to the
nearest school of the proper grade.
The distance by the nearest travel
ed road is that which should appear
on the application. In certifying to
applications, therefore, you are re-
quested to satisfy yourself that the
right school is named and that the
distance given is correct.
"The department must rely upon
your certificate for this infOrma-
ton"
