URGE TARIFF ON TOMATOES

Arrangements For Delegation to APP
pear Before Committee at Washington
At a conference between the MEM
bers of the committee on marketing of
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation and representatives of the Tri-
State Packers Association, held at the
Association Headquarters, it has been
agreed that they will cooperate in an
effort to secure an increased rate IN
the tariff on tomatoes and tomato
products imported into the United
States. Arrangements have been made
by the Congressman and United
States Senators representing the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula for the appearance
of the delegation appointed by Pres1-
dent N. B. Wescott of the Del-Mar-Va
Association before the Committee on
Ways and Means at Washington, on
Friday, January 25th, when hearing
will be given on tariff increases. The
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associa-
ton is not only seeking an increase in
the tariff on tomatoes and tomato
products, but on all commodities i'm
ported into the United States as they
effect the growers or Gamers in the
Peninsula. The Association will also
cooperate with the National Farm
Bureau and has requested that es-
pecial commodities effecting the Pen
insula be included in the Farm Bureau
plea and brief. The Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula through the Association Offic-
ials will be represented at Washing
ton by the following delegation:
Landreth L. Layton, Georgetown,
Delaware; William B. Tilghamn, Sal
isbury, Maryland; William D. Cord
dry, Snow Hill, Maryland; ]. Wiley
Thought, Laurel, Delaware; H. S.
Thomas, Shesapeake, Virginia; L. A.
Sutton, Chestertwon, Maryland.
In the Conference between the As
sociation delegation and Tri-State
Packers Association the latter was
represented by J. R. Phillips, presi-
dent; F. M. Shocks, Field Secretary
and Mr.. C. NJ. DeShields. The Tri-
State Packers Association was respon-
sible in large degree for the origin
al step taken toward securing a tariff
increase on imported tomatoes. Pra-
tically every influential organization
in Agriculture sections is supporting
the plea for increased tariff rates
which would be beneficial to the farm
er if granted. AS far as the Del-Mar-
Va Peninsula the Del-Mar-Va Asso-
citation has assurance from every
United States Senator and Congress
man representing the Peninsula that
they will give their best effort toward
securing the tariff increases which will
be requested.

English Castle Once
Had Norman Prisoner

A curious legend is associated with
historic Oxford castle, on the Suffolk
coast (England), which recently came
under the auctioneer's hammer.
Fishermen are said to have cap
tured norman not far from the cas-
tie, and the interesting monster, so
runs the legend, was imprisoned in the
castle keep, and an attempt was made
to tame and humanize him.
The norman, however, was diff
cult" subject, and one dark night, when
the efforts to tame him seemed about
to be crowned with success, he es-
capped by some mysterious means from
his prison, and was no more seen of
man.
The castle is stated to have been
built about the Twelfth century, and
the imposing Norman keep with its
three square embattled towers, the
Norman pillars, capitals, and altar
ruins of the old chapel remain, an an
cfent staircase still leading to the dun
geOns.

A statewide campaign to enlist new
members in the Delaware Safety
Council in order that the educational
safety work to meet the increased
street and highway and home safety
needs may be inaugurated will com
mence next Monday, January 21st,
under the general direction of John

Mr.. Irenee DUPONT will tender a din
ner to some 165 volunteer workers in
the duPont-Biltmore Hotel on Monday
evening. A number of citizens of this
town have been invited to attend.
Pointing out that the automobile reg
lstartions had increased in the past 10
years four times, while the Safety
Councils budget had increased in the
period less than three times, Mr. John
ston recalled that there has been 70
motor vehicle fatalities in our state in
the past year and over 800 serious in
juries. This situation has been com
mented on in the press and called the
one black spot in the state Of Della
wares 1928 record. In the homes 68
We're accidentally killed and over 600
seriously injured. It is to meet this
situation in a practical and effective
manner that the Safety Council Di-
rectors are working to secure an OPP
Grating Fund of Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars. General memberships are
being solicited in the amount of $40
yearly. The Delaware Safety Coun-
ell was organized in 1919 and has
achieved eminent success in the in
dustrial field where accidents have
been reduced in Delaware plants to
less than one-half the national pre-
vailing averages. The Council is a
non-partisan and non-proft associa-
tion which operates as a branch of the
National Safety Council On its
Board of Control are SO volunteer Di-
rectors from all parts of the State.

gets for rifle shots and two sticks of
dynamite Thursday afternoon when

of the new Ford

IA ! :. +.4 H.

this construction, the entire
surface of the shoe is
brought in steady, uniform
contact with the drum the
instant you press your foot

Another feature of the
Ford brakes is the ease of
adjustment.
The four-wheel brakes
are adjusted by turning a
screw conveniently located
on the outside of each brake
plate. This screw is SO
notched that all four brakes
can be set alike simply by
listening to the ''clicks."
The emergency or park

ONE of the first things you
will notice when you drive
the new Ford is the quick,
effective, silent action of its
six-brake system.
This system gives you the
highest degree of safety and
reliability because the four
wheel service brakes and the
separate emergency or park
ing brakes are all of the
mechanical, internal ex-
panding type, with braking
surfaces fully enclosed for
protection against mud,
water, sand, etc.
The many advantages of
this type of braking system
have long been recognized.
They are brought to you in
the new Ford through a
series of mechanical inn
prOvements embOdying
much that is new in design
and manufacture. A particu-
larly unique feature is the
simple way by which a spe-
cial drum has been con-
structed to permit the use of
two sets of internal brakes
on the rear wheels.
A further Improvement
in braking performance is
effected by the self-center-
ing feature of the four
wheel brakes - an

penalty of disqualification.
Tommy Aycock of Jacksonville, Fla,
who was runner-up to Bob Finken-
staedt in the Columbia tourney, is
playing in the final round of the in
tercollegiate championship today and
Maurice j. Mccarthy of Georgetown,

his match of yesterday, disconsolate
because his putter did not work better
against the slim, bespectacled Florida
youth, who is student at Yale. Ay-
cock beat Mccarthy on the final green
of an 18-hole match yesterday because
McCarthy's usually reliable putter <ail-
ed him in the pinches. Chick Beger,
a teammate of Mccarthy at George
town, also fell in the third round yes
terday.
While he was in Washington COM
peting in the Columbia tourney, every
golfer who watched Aycock play agreed
that he is a formidable competitor in
any tournament he enters. His scor-
ing in the final against Finkenstaedt
was not bad, but he did not play the
game he had shown in the earlier
rounds of the tournament.

The ladies even got to where they
tried out knickers for golf-some of
them did-about seven years ago,
but they didn't keep that style. AS
Glenna Collett observes in her de-
lightful book, Ladies in the Rough"
no woman looks well in knickers.
And (she adds, sapiently) woman
simply cannot omit certain conSid-
Grafton of her appearance, though
knickers really are the most comfort
able and sensible attire for golf.
Twenty years ago, however, the
feminine costumes lacked a good
deal Of being as sensible as they are
today. In a recent number of Golf
Illustrated saw some photographs
that turned back the pages for me
almost to the gay COS, when the
men wore scarlet coats and white
flannel pants and the ladies wore
scarlet waists and lots Of hair, piled
high, with hats miraculously main
tained on top, and also hips and YER
long swirts.
the gay COS, like fox hunting.
And it is dress-up sport today,
especially with the men, who go in
for matched pullovers and stockings
and fancy shoes. But 1t Is more
sensibly clad sport today.
I remember Mrs. Hurd, when as
Dorothy Campbell she won the Brit
ish and American championships in
1909. She went in for ultra-con-
servative coat suits then and for sew
eral years thereafter. And hats.
She likes playing without hat now
adays, and shorter skirts and loose
jerseys; and soft scarf replaces the
collar and cravat of earlier days.
And even in the relatively short span
of Miss Collett's golflng activities,
