MILLS FOR HOOVER
AS BOOST TO c. 0.P.
Party Will Be Strengthened
by His Leadership, Says
New Yorker.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 17.--Upholding
the Hoover end OF q political debate at
the Fifteenth Assembly District Repub-
lican Club last night. Ogden Mills, Un-
dersecretary of the Treasury, declared
the Secretary of Commerce not only
could be depended upon as President to
carry on the policies Of the Coolidge
administration. but to strengthen the
Republican party.
when you think Of terms Of approval
Of the Coolidge administration" said
Mills. you unuuestionably have the
economic policies principally in mind,
and In assigning credit for those poll
cieS. three names stand out above all
others-Coolidge Mellon and Hoover.
OF the three only one has aVowed his
readiness to carry on"
Effect on Republican Party.
Mills, who in 1925 was the Republican
nominee for governor in New York. con-
fided that there were Republicans who
ask me anxiously what will become OF
the party organization under Mr..
Hoover" then continued:
Let them study his record let them
realize that organization and collective
effort are one OF his mainstayS. and
they will appreciate that. After four
years of Hoover as President. the Re
publican party will be better organized
more effective and more vigorous than
in many q long year."
Reasons for Backing Him.
Speaking at a meeting at which the
presidential qualifications OF other Re-
publicans also we're eXtolled Mr.. Mills
said he favored Hoover because. by
reason OF his natural ability and genius;
the extent and character OF his train
ing. knowledge and experience; his
courage, decisivenesS and resourceful-
ness, and his record OF service. he Is

GIOVANNI MARTINELLrs RECITAL.


The popular leading tenor OF the

won him acclaim by many as the sue

OF songs and operatic arias that de-
lighted an unusually enthusiastic Ca

temperamental storm clouds threatened.
for It seemed that SignOr MartinelliS 8

that this was to be an evening concert.
AS a result the great tenor had just ar
rived In town and with only full dress
suit In which to appear. He was quite
upset about the matter and consider
able time elapsed before he would con-
sent to appear on the stage. Also the
program az sent to Mrs. Greene, the
local manager, did not meet fully with
his approval, and he chose to change an
entire group Of songs.
However. the persistent applause OF
the audience won, and after the pro-
lorged and extremely appreciative ap-
plause that rewarded his opening num-
bcr, the beautiful aria, 20 Paradise, +"
from Meyerbeer's "L'Africaine," the
singer seemed to lose his irritations and
to become every minute more expansive
and more genially friendly toward his
audience until he granted ct the very
end the much-wanted La Donna e

Martinelli has fine voice and showed
throughout his program the principles

The substituted numbers for his final
solo group were "Carissima che Blanca"

and "Song Of the Night" by Thomas.
Quite the most generally appreciated OF
his numbers we're the Celeste Aida

WIDER HIGHWAYS IMPERATIVE
]. B. Weeks, President of American

Wider roads are an imperative nee

ion of ]. Borton Weeks, President Of
the American Motorists Association,
with which the Delaware Automobile
Association is affiliated, who IN
statement just made public strongly
advocates immediate provision for
adequate highways.
Traffic" said Mr.. Weeks must be
dealt with in terms of lanes. A traf-
fic lane should be ten feet wide to al
low safe clearance between vehicles
moving rapidly past each other IN the
same or opposite directions. This
means that our primary highway
the main trunks leading from one
great center Of population to another
should have width Of either 20,
30 Or 40 feetS. depending upon the
volume of traffic, or even a greater
width consisting of units or lanes each
10 feet wide.
"Provisions should be made now by
the legislatures of the various states
for the ultimate widening Of trunk
highways between the great centers
of population. The ultimate lanes
should now be established 50 that ex-
pensive buildings will not be built
beyond them, and 50 that the eventual
widening can be accomplished with
comparatively small expenditure in
purchasing the necessary land, and
without the necessity of destroying
buildings which would otherwise be
| erected in the meantime.

street invites accident. Every road

GUARD HOUSE FOR TURKEYS
H. Nj. Baker, With Gun by His Side,
Sleeps in 1t To Keep Dogs Away


Sleeps in 1t To Keep Dogs Away
The problem of keeping stray dogs
away from their large fiocks of tur-
keys has been solved by Mr.. and Mrs.
H. NJ. Baber by the unique method
of erecting a movable house in which
Mr. Baker sleeps, gun by his side,
ready to blaze away at marauders
when they attack his flock. As the
flock changes its feeding grounds, the
portable house is moved. 1t was on
this farm, located in the Quaker Neck
district Of Kent county, Md, that S1O,-
600 was made last year on turkeys.
Since the innovation of the portable
house plan, no turkeys have been kill
ed by dogs.
The Bakers, who are Maryland's
largest turkey raisers, are now eX-
perimenting with incubation methods
Of raising turkeys, which they hope
will produce more healthy stock and
increase their supply Of eggs. It is
believed by the owners that the in
cubator and stove brooder has not
only proven their practicability for
turkey raising, but have strong points
over the natural method Of entrust-
ing eggs and young turkeys to the
mother bird.
The Bakers believe in freeing the
hen from the long and tedious ordeal
of Matching and rearing the young So
~ To permit her to concentrate on
the important task Of laying. Under
the new method, they contend, young
turkeys do not come in contact with
the old birds and consequently are
less likely to contract the dread black
head disease which in recent years
has played havoc with many broods
in Kent county (Md.). They are less
likely to contract parasite infestations
Experimenters are keeping the young
birds away from ranges used by 9th
ell fowl, for period Of three years
They are being kept clear Of conta-
minated soil, since it has been discov-
cred that blackhead is carried By
chickens. The young stock is being
handled in separate broods and is be-
ing segregated from older fowls. Il
this manner breeders are producing
better quality of stock for breed
ing purposes.
