NEW YORK. January 19.-There will
be nearly 3,250,ooo trucks and BUSES

end of 1923, 1t is predicted by some of
the largest manufacturers in the

ried before.
Despite these facts. so we'll informed
a manufacturer as Walter c. White of

doubt that more than 100000 trucks
would be made and sold within the year.
Competition seems likely to be as severe

CAMP FOR WOMEN ONLY
OPENS JULY 81 NEAR DAGSBORO

Since the first announcement of
the Homemaker's Camp many de-
tailed inquiries have been received
by both Miss Martha Good, director
of the Y. w. c. A. Camp, Dagsboro,
and Mrs. Helen Mckinley, State
Home Demonstration agent, Univer-
sity of Delaware, Newark.
Any adult woman may attend.
The objects of the camp are to give
home makers an opportunity to rest
and play, to get acquainted with
other women and to have just a
short vacation from the cares of the
house and family.
The camp is located about four
miles east of Dagsboro. The route
is marked Y. w. C. A. Camp. About
two miles of this road is sand.
Those who cannot drive to the
camp may arrive by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad. They will be met at
the station and taken to the camp.
Trains leaving Wilmington at S.24
a. M, and at 3.45 p. m, go directly
to Dagsboro, arriving there at liza
a. m. and 7.2O p. M, respectively.
These trains pass through New
Castle, Middletown, Dover, Har-
rington, Georgetown and interven-
ing points.

pealing speeches. These speeches
will also be the signal for the open
ing of money-bags.
Plans are now under way to have
all the government buildings con-
centrated in an area known as the
Mall-Avenue triangle, which COM
prises the center of the downtown
district. This will be decided con-
venience not only to government Of
ficials, but also an advantage to
those from various parts of the
country coming to Washington on
official business. The National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
of Washington is now devising ways
and means for the parking of auto
mobiles near these buildings. The
solution seems to be to construct
tunnel under the broad plaza,
which is to be the central feature
of the new construction. The only
obstacle in the way of the project
is it's cost. The proposed under
ground parking area could not be
constructed for less than several
million dollars and Congress may
balk at the cost.
The Welch bill, providing for in
creased salaries for Federal en-
ployees, passed during the last ses-
sion of Congress, was believed to
content among many who
thought they were underpaid. How
ever, the conflict still RACES between
various Federal agencies, not only
as to the administration of the
Welch salary increase act, but also
as to it's cost to the Federal Treas
ury. There seems to be complete
agreement on the fact that all of

morning, August 4th.
Each woman attending must
bring two single or one double sheet,
a pillow case and a thin quilt or
blanket; a towel and wash cloth;
necessary toilet articles; some sort
of bathing suit, if she likes the
water; overshoes; simple house
dresses and easy shoes.
One might include camera, a
flash light and, if possible, some old
fashioned garment or costume that
might be worn at a masquerade
party. These last are not neces-
sary but merely suggestive.
The camp staff besides Miss Mar
tina Good, the director, includes in
structors in swimming, recreation,
dramatics, handicraft, a nurse and a
dietitian so that there will be a reg
ular program of interesting things
to do for those who do not wish to
rest all of the time, In case one
wants to make a little purse, a
handkerchief, etc., in the handicraft
work a small charge will be made
for the materials used.

Mckinley or Miss Good. Below is

before July Both, by those who

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
[FTSm National Editorial A5sSeiGtisS1

Washington, July 25.-Judging
from the number of Investigations
being conducted by governmental
departments or in contemplation,
the Seventy-first Congress will be
more flooded with legislative mat
tiers than ever before in the history
of the country. The Federal Trade
Commission, one of the most active
bureaus in the Capital City today,
has employed a corps of specialists
on utility affairs to compile infor-
nation from records in office of
large power utility holding and
service companies, to be introduced
as evidence in the Commissions in
quiry into the industry. Legislative
agents, representing every conceiv-
able interest, are working full blast
these humid summer days preparing
arguments and measures to be pre-
scented to Congress on the opening
day.
Secretary of State Kellogg and his
corps of assistants have been eX-
tremely busy making arrangements
for the multi-lateral treaty for the
Outlawry of war, which probably
will be signed in Paris the last week
in August. There is much specula-
ton here as to the fate of Secretary
KellOgg's peace treaty. Many feel
confident that it is the solution for
the prevention of future wars, while
others see in it only a disguised
form of an entangling alliance, and
believe that the Senate will refuse
to ratify it.
The Republican and Democratic
headquarters here are conspicuous
these days for their apparent lassi-
tude. However, Immediately after
the acceptance of Mr.. Hoover and
Governor Smith both bureaus will
become the distributors of volumes

REDUCING FAD HEALTH
PRORTEM

In the opinion of DR.. Luise Diez,
of the New York state health depart
ment, the reducing fad among young
girls under 20 is one of the most
serious health problems today. This
authority points out that the entire
body is affected by the undernour-
ishment resulting from the fad; that
youthful characteristics quickly dis
appear and signs Of age, such as
thinning Of the hair, changes in skin
texture, upset nervous system, loss
of efficiency and lessened resistance
to infection, soon appear.-The
