ample quarters and sleeping accom-
modations for crew of five Bunks

KENT COUNTY REGISTRATION
Declared to Be in Excellent Shape in
Practically Every District

Kent County Democratic Commit
tee met in Dover Friday, to discuss
matters prior to the county primar-
les, to be held Saturday, September
Is. Reports from all the districts in
the county were received which show
ed the registration throughout the
entire county to be in excellent shape
and increased registration in practl-
calIy every district with the women a
large factor in all of the districts. A
vacancy for the nomination of Rep
resentative in the Fifth Representa-
tive district, Dover, was ordered fill
ed by the committee, the three COM
mitteemen and women of the district
to select the candidate. Final re-
ports on all candidates filed for Of
fees to be voted for on September 10
were made by members of the COM
mittee. A general discussion as to
the outlook for the campaign was
heard, indicating that Kent county IS
in most excellent shape for the com
ing election, the only regret the mem
bers of the committee have, being
that of the action of the Democratic
State Convention at Dover last Tues
day in ignoring Kent county in the
distribution of the state offices with
the exception Of the governor. With
Kent county the banner Democratic
county in the state, members of the
committee who were delegates to the
state convention and who worked
hard for Kent county's recognition in
balancing up the ticket were out
spoken in the expressions of regret
that better judgment had not prevail
ed in the distri button of the offices.

STAGE AND SCREEN WR|TE-UP
COMING AMUSEMENT EVENTS
The Strand Theatre. Smyrna

Friday and Saturday-The story of
an extra of the stage who imper-
sonated a Hindu maharajah and won
for himself the love of a wealthy
noblewoman is unfolded in Adolph
Menjou's latest Paramount starring
vehicle, ellis Tiger Lady" Menjou
plays the part of a minor stage actor,
whose ability consists of being able to
appear suave and majestic while seat
ed on the back of an elephant in the
opening act of the Folies Bergere,
Paris. He becomes interested in the
Tiger Lady, nightly visitor at the
theatre, and by wearing his stage
costume, that of a maharajah, while
out of the theater, he makes her ac-
quaintance. This Tiger Lady shows
interest in the bogus maharajah and
she tests his love by throwing her
glove into the cage Of a ferocious
tiger. How Menjou manages to res
cue the glove and capture the prin-
cess forms an amusing and distinctive
climax to the production. "His Tiger
Lady, reveals some unusual wardrobe
said Travis Banton, chief resigner of
the Paramount studios, Hollywood,
concentrating on the maharajah cos
tune of Menjou and three startling
creations worn by Miss Brent. The
latter are designed along Partisan
lines and contain thousands Of beads
and Jewels.

the question of whether the proposed
commission should be permanent or
temporary. but 1t was ultimately decided
to leave this matter with Congress.
The two bills pending before Congress
to establish amateur boxing in the Dis

EUROPEAN TRUSTS
ARE STUDIED HERE
Situation Faced by American
Chemical Industry Out
lined at Session.

The situation faced by the American
chemical industry as result OF ex-
pansion and extension Of the interna-
tional trust organization Of foreign
competitors was discussed yesterday by
leaders of the industry in this coun-
try with American officials and Ameri-
can agents called in from abroad, to
meet in conference at the Commerce
Department.
William J. Donovan, Assistant At
torney General. in charge of ANTITRUST
prosecutions, told the meeting that
American laws would not prevent the
entrance into American trade of the
European combinations. such as have
been attained in dye stuffs and ferti-
lizers. but that American law would
operate to prevent such organizations
restraining trade and enhancing prices
In this country.
Outlives Merger Plans.
William A. Daugherty. American
trade commissioner at Berlin. recounted
the recent history of European chemi-
ton Of international mergers now on
foot there. In spite of the agreements
involving German. French and English
producers in the chemical trades. Com
missioner Daugherty said. there was no
spirit of hostility to American industry
expressed abroad. and there was dis
position to seek to extend the agree
ments to include American producing
elements
Our policy is based upon the prin-
cip'e Of competition" Donovan said
THAT principle includes the ideas Of
equal opportunity maintenance Of in
riividual initiative. freedom from Gov
eminent regulation and absence Of
tory or customers.
Control Possible Here.
within It's own jurisdiction. a for
eign government may, of course. evolve
a trade policy that is directly opposed
to our own. II. as a result, there Is
established government controlled mo-
nopoly and that monopoly comes to our
shores TO engage in trade and con-
forms with our laws We cannot deny
such monopoly right to do business
here.
But a different situation is pre-
sented when foreign monopoly comes
into our jurisdiction and attempts to
perform those acts which are forbid
den under our law 1t Is the belief of
foreign monopoly. though legal in
its place of origin. comes into this
country and by collision With our citi-
zens. enters into agreements here for
the restraint of trade and the enhance
ment of prices. these agreements are
Just as illegal and just as much sub
iect to our laws as they would be If
the corporations and individuals in
volved were creatures Of our Govern
ment"
The Webb-Pomerene act. Donovan
added. gave American producers the
right 10 combine in export trade. and
he expressed the opinion that Congress
would shortly permit American Coz
Germs to combine for the purpose Of
purchasing raw materials abroad,
