ANY CITIZEN MAY LEARN
TO SHOOT AT CAMP PERRY

Camp Perry, Ohio-Among the
early arrivals at the big rifle range
here are number of instructors
who will conduct the small arms
firing school which will open here
on August 26 and continue for one
week preceding the events of the
National Rifle and Pistol Matches.
Col HUI B. Myers, executive officer
of the range, said that special at
tention will be devoted to the
school for which any citizen of the
United States is eligible. Some of
the best shots in the Army, Navy
and Marines will act as instructors.
Student riflemen who finish the
course successfully will receive GER
tifcates of proficiency as instructors
in small-arms firing. 1t is the hope
Of those in charge of the school
that these instructors will go back
to their homes and become the lead
ers of a great movement to make
this country what it was in the ear
ly years of its history-a nation ac-
customed to the use Of arms.
AS an added inducement, arrange
ments have been made with all rail-
roads to furnish transportation to
those attending the school or the
matches at reduced rates. Living
accommodations will be provided
free of charge, and meals will be
served in modern cafeteria at ex-
tremely low prices.

POLITICS
(As Seen By a NeaO Castle COmntjon)

It has just sifted through the
political censor of this county, that
the most prominent candidate fol
the office of Governor of Sussex
county, 1. D. Short, was in confer
ence, on Tuesday of last week, with
two of the most officiOus meddlers
in the political affairs of this state.
The meeting is said to have taken
place in this city.
There is no particular objection
to Mr.. Short having talked to the
two parties alluded to. 1t is quite
natural for candidate to talk to all
elements of his party, and as Mr..
Short has announced that he will
endeavOr to secure the nomination
for the office of Governor, he did
perfectly right in having a confer
ence as stated. Such practice on
the part of any candidate has a uni
flying and solidifying effect and is
a wholesome factor in party affairs
for it tends to party success at sue
ceeding elections.
The part of this seance, as it has
sifted through, that appears not only
amusing but presumptuous, to the
intelligent voters of this city, on the
part of the two conferees of this end
of the state, is their assumption of
the right to say who Sussex county
shall select as its candidate for the
Governorship, or any other office.
1t has been said here that the
Sussex countians present at that
conference might have rendered
their state a signal honor and clari-
fed the situation had they asked the
two Wilmington gentlemen just who
they intended to support for the
office of U. S. Senator, and especial
ly if the Republicans, in State con-
vention, should nominate dry can
didate for that office. Of course |
such a question would have been |
considered as pertness on the part |
of the men from Sussex. But |
wouldn't it have been a relevant
one to ask men who are themselves
persistently irregular in supporting
the party whose candidates for Of
flee they assume they have right
to name?
They are certainly expert political
oculists, those two Wilmington con-
sultants of Senator Short. They can
see all around the whaling big beam
in their own eye and detect expertly
the small mote in the eye of the
EX-State Senator. We will let them
go at that. The Republicans here
need none to pick their candidates ;
for them, and we are perfectly will
ing that Sussex county shall enjoy
he same privilege.

strength in New Castle county every ]

lence in Mr.. Hoover, and this conf '
lence is quite as noticeable in the

CHEsAPEAKE YIELDS s5.OOO.OOO
IN FISH
EVERY Evening"

| NA4NOAJ GECAAASy
The waters of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries yield more
than 100000 in fish annually and
provide profitable occupation for
10000 persons, according to bull
letin just issued by the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, and which also serves
to call attention to the fact that our
own Delaware Bay has almost ceas-
ed to return profit at all through its
fish-especially those of the edible
kind. More than 100 varieties are
reported in the waters that wash the
shores of Maryland, and there would
be like number found in the Della
ware had they not been driven to
find other quarters less impregnat-
ed with oils and similar waste.
Outside of the menhaden the fish
appear to have mostly migrated
from Delaware waters, whereas our
bay and rivers should yield $9,000,-
900 worth of food fish and give en-
ployment to 5000 or 10000 men.
There are but few fish left in our
streams, as everybody knows, and
perhaps we may not hope for an in
crease unless the federal govern
ment co-operates with the state and
demands that the pollution Of the
waters be stopped at once.
Three millions dollars income
from the waterways of the state
would equal almost the value of the
entire wheat and corn crop of Della
ware, or represent the value of al
most the entire fruit yield Of the
state. Yet it seems that none of our
men in Congress or in the Legisla-
ture have taken serious steps to re-
store the food fish to this section.
1t is understood that the pumping
of oils into the river from ships car
rying crude oil from Texas to the
refineries on the stream is respon-
sible for the extinction of fish, and
we hope, to Offset this huge loss of
revenue and employment for our
people that no legislator may be
elected who is not pledged to fur
Their the conservation of our sea
foods and game.
With the added income from our
streams we would be much relieved
from the stress of hard times that
has come in the ruck of the over
of the nations fields, or
chards and gardens. The re-estab-
lishment of the fishing industry to
it's earlier proportions would solve
the unemployment problem for Del !
aware. There is never an over pro-
duction of fish or of crabs or other
sea foods. In fact the supply is so
much less than the demand that the |
prices have bounded high and will |
continue to mount-unless we can

THE HOME MARKET

Shall the industries of the United
States place their principal depend
ence upon the home market, the
goods they can sell at home, or
shall they depend much more large
ly on developing a foreign market?
The answer to this question has
in the past settled to a large extent
the question whether the American
people shall vote Republican or
Democratic. If a person believes
in depending much more on the for
eign market, some arguments can
be found for voting Democratic. If
not, one is almost inevitably Re-
publican.
The Democratic theory says that
if we reduced our protective tariff,
we should buy many more goods
from abroad, and as a consequence
of buying so much more, we could
sell them a great deal more. So it
is a question, whether we want to
give up the job of making all these
goods that would be imported under
low tariff, in the hopes of getting
much larger sales for our exported
products.
To many of us that looks like the
case of the dog who dropped his
juicy bone into the brook, because
he saw the reflection of a much
bigger bone underneath it's treach-
erous surface.
The trouble with that theory is
that our country is by far the rich
est in the world, able to pay the |
highest prices, and use the most |
goods. 1t seems very doubtful pol |
icy to lose any part of the trade we
have at home, for the uncertain |
of selling more stuff |
abroad to countries which are i'm
by war, and so heavily
in debt that it is doubtful whether
they can pay their obligations.
Our people have arrived at their
high point of prosperity by cultivat-
ing the American home market, and |
it the principal dependence.
It seems good policy to keep on
with a plan that has brought so
much advance.

Wilmington. The public in general
feels that it has something real sub
stantial in Hoover and at the same
time they realize that they have
nothing to gain in the election OF
AL. Smith, except a gesture toward
the return of BOOZE
OF course there are a few social
ly prominent who have protested in
the past to be Republicans, that
have declared for Smith. But as be-
tween being Republicans and being
vets, they are vets first. There
fore, there is no place for them but
in the Smith camp.
Now that they have gone, if any
real Republicans should wish to do
them the honor of missing them, it
should be to commend their going.
We frequently hear these days,
that the present Secretary of State,
Charles H. Grantland, is severely
grooming himself for the office of
Governor. 1t was generally sup
posed that Mr. Grantland was back
ing his superior officer, Governor
Robinson, for reelection. But we
do not hear much about the present
Governors candidacy any more. It
may be because Mr.. Grantland has
become so conscious of his own
qualifications for the office that the
Governors candidacy has become a
neglected commodity and his politi-
cal shadow has been graciously
permitted to grow less by his Off
cial and political right bower.
Just where James A. Ellison (Big
Jim) stands on the Governorship is
problematical. For some time past
he was supposed to be for Douglas
Buck, the present State highway
engineer. That may or may not be
true, most likely the latter. For
since the friends of the Secretary of
otate-with his consent to be sure
have let It be known that he is ac-
5ually a candidate for the Office of |
chief magistrate, it is scarcely like |
y that his political Siamese Twin. !
Jim Ellison, will consent to an op-
grafton that will separate them, and
instead of being for Mr.. Buck, as
supposed, he will, in the end, be
OuIlu supporting the political enig-
ma from the East side.
Some too, perhaps for the want of
better excuse, question the status
II Mr.. Buck as Republican. AS to
he has ever been any thing
politically but a Republican, I con-
ess ignorance. 1t has been said to
ne that Mr.. Buck would consider it
great honor to be chosen as the

MATURE WOMEN MOST
nNTTADTE

Mrs. Chapman, general superin-
tendent of the Chicago Woman's
Church Federation protectorate, re-
marked in a recent address that
many men prefer young and ire
sponsible women workers, to those
of more sedate age and greater eff
ficiency. She had remarked that
they would often employ some in
competent little fiapper, in prefer
ence to a more capable woman.
That may prove true in positions
where only routine work is called
for. Business men may like to see
some stylish girl decorating their
offices. But the business men are
going to depend more upon women
workers for original thought and
enterprise, which calls for trained
experience. A painted face and
short skirt will not be accepted as
substitutes for practical results.
@o@
ANY FORM OF GROWTH inyol-
YES increased expense for promot-
ing sales. If a man takes the po-
sition that he will not employ any
more salespeople, his business is
not likely to grow. People will not
come to his store, if the sales force
have more than they can do. 1t
pays him to add the salespeople he
needs; for, as his business gains in
volume, his profits increase.
It is the same with regard to adj
vertising, which is a form Of ex-
pense just as necessary for growth
as employing a sales force. AS the
business is stimulated by advertis-
ing, the cost of distribution per
article sold is reduced.
MANY PEOPLE in business act
as if there were sharp limits to
the amount of trade they could get.
They see some little bit of cor
ner of the business field, and they
try simply for that insignificant
fraction.
The field of any good business
has very wide limits. If it is Civ
ing good service, moneys worth for
every dollar, it can expand far. To
make it expand, the proprietor and
his helpers must show enterprise.
They have not merely to please the
people who would naturally come to
them, but to make a little noise in
the world, and show they are on
earth. Advertising is the efficient
and economical method by which
they can do it.

WHY is 1T EASIER TO
SWIM IN SALT WATER?

A person can swim more easily in
salt water than he can in fresh
water because the former is natur-
ally heavier and consequently has
greater buoyancy. For instance, the
specific gravity of the water in
Great Salt Lake, Utah, is so great
that person cannot sink or COM
pletely submerge himself in it. This
is owing to the fact that it contains
great quantities of salt in solution.
Because of this buoyancy the lake is

a novel bathing resort. Contrary to
popular opinion, an inexperienced
swimmer can easily drown in such
water. If one who cannot swim
goes beyond his depth he is likely
to lose his balance and be suffocat-
ed in the briny water, although his
body would float on the surface. The
water is invigorating, but bathing
in it is usually followed by fresh
water bath to remove from the body
the sticky, unpleasant incrustations
of brine.-The Pathfinder.
