DESIRE HELP FROM PEN SIONS
Mrs. Walls Says Only Those Prop
erIy Presented Will be Considered

Mrs. Laura G. Walls is over-run
with mail from aged persons de-
string assistance from the million
aire hacker of the old age pension
plan. She has been compelled to
outline a plan of procedure which
will be followed in all cases. She
says: "Please do not continue to
send applications to me. Follow
the directions plainly stated. 1 re-
ceive letters from many old people
who are crippled, or unable to go
to church. Many write that they
don't know any minister. Get your
neighbors, or friends to state your
case to any minister in your To-
cality to investigate the case. All
information must come through
one channel, with the six questions
answered properly. L have a let
ter from a minister, stating the
age Tin his seventies 1 must have
the exact age in years. Save this
information and go directly by it,
as it will save my secretary much
unnecessary work and expense
which I am trying to eliminate"
How to Proceed TO be PensiOned
Ask your minister, Tor the min
lister in your 1ocality) to investi-
gate your eligibility to be enrolled
on the pension list. The congrega-
tion of the church may assist the
minister in finding the worthy ones
The minister, with the assistance
of his Congregation will elect a
committee of the best thinking
people to investigate and decide
who are qualified, and the class in
which they belong. The ministers
of various churches, will kindly
send the following information to
Laura c. Walls, Lincoln, Delaware,
to be entered on the pension list:
IL, Name of pensioner; (2l,
address; 81, age (must be 65
years of age or more); az, color;
(5), class, No. / or No. ?; (6), if
resident of Delaware less than five
years, state number of years.
Those in class No. are persons
in destitute circumstances, also
those who are physically unable to
work, have no income and no
source to buy necessary clothing,
nor pay for the services Of ply
sicians. They may be living with
some one who is financially unable
to take care Of them, OF living
alone. In class No. 2 are those who
might own their home but nave not
enough income to support them
selves. They may be in the care
of some relative or friend, yet
without sufficient income to supply
them with the necessities Of life.
The greatest precaution should be
taken, to report to me, only the
worthy cases. (SignedD Laura c.

FIGHT on CHICKEN DISEASES
DIR. Hare, Poultry Expert, to Elm
mate Disease i'm State Flocks

mate Disease III SIate Fl0ckS
The first attempt to eliminate
chickenpox from focks in Della
ware, will be begun by Dr.. Frank
Hare, pathologist of the State
Board of Agriculture, the latter
part of this month. No such effort
has ever been made in this State
before. At this time, DR.. Hare has
six cockerels of the White Leghorn
breed in the laboratory, which he
has infected with chickenpox. Des-
pite the progress of this illness,
these roosters are lively and
healthy. Their combs are red and
virile looking and their growing
may be heard far outside the labor
atory. From these six cockereIs,
DR.. Hare hopes to obtain enough
virus to innoculate at least 1000
chickens. More chickens will be
infected to obtain fresh serum for
continued vaccinations. This sea-
son of the year is taken by Dr.
Hare because of the usually normal
and healthy condition of the chick
ems. They are better able to
withstand the vaccination and re-
cover from the disease thus caused
in light form. Practically every
flock in the State of any number
has suffered at times from chicken
pox. To some it is not fatal, but
to birds whose vitality is decreased
from other ills it has resulted in
wiping them out. DR.. Hare is pre-
pairing for a very busy summer in
fighting the ills that worry the
poultrymen of the State, and hopes
to be able to report the elimina-
tion of many diseases by fall.

ABROAD INVESTMENT
STATUS TO BE TESTED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-The legal
status of the holding or investment
companies that have been created by
the Van Sweringen interests and by the
Pennsylvania Railroad for the purpose
of holding stocks of competitive car
riers is to be tested by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. 1t probably will
not be determined until after a long
drown-out fight and a final decision by
the United States Supreme Court.
Depending on the results Of this cor
test will be the policy of other railroads
that desire to purchase control of COM
peting or interesting lines and which
regard the holding company as probably
the best medium through which to act
So long, however, as the legal standing
of the Allegheny Corporation, particu-
larly, is in doubt, no move will be made
in this direction.
1t has been known for some time
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was not in sympathy with the
policy of the Van SweringenS in putting
some OF the contested railroad stocks
into their holding company and that at
any time they might indicate this i'll
an official order requesting the Ale
ghany Corporation interests to disgorge
They intimated to the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad management that the holding
by the Pennsylvania Co. of the Lehigh
Valley and Wabash stocks was not to
their liking. The attitude of the Penn
sylvania people Is that they will resist
any interference with their policy and
test their right to such a disposition of
the former Loree stocks by an appeal
to the higher courts.

DUN's REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July 2OCP).-Dunn's Re-
view says: Several points of special in
terest have featured the economic sit
uation at a time when their absence,
judged by the experience of many pre-
ceding years, would not be unusual. Yet
trends have changed and the tradi-
tional lassitude of business through the
Summer is less evident now, while
commodity price movements have at
tanned a greater significance. The
striking rise of grain markets and the
increasing buoyancy in cotton, in each
case primarily the result of lowered
crop prospects, have drawn attention
still more sharply to the status of agri-
culture in its relation to commercial
conditions. Not only has the potential
purchasing power of the farming COM
munity been enhanced, and sentiment
correspondingly benefited. but actual
buying of goods for future use has been
encouraged in some instances. The
textile markets reflect this stimulus
In more vigorous preparations for Fall
trade, and current distribution of sea-
sonable merchandise continues to gain
impetus from the prevailing high tenn
peratures. Proof of the sustained heavy
flow of raw materials and manufactured
products Is found in railroad freight
traffic above the volume of earlier years.
while the remarkable progress of the
steel industry Is being Illustrated in
various ways.

EXPANSION OF POWER
SYSTEMS is INDICATED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Plans now
under consideration indicate that the
formation of super-power electrical en-
ergy systems will continue steadily
throughout the country.
Movement to that end has taken on
new activity as a result of the merger
by which the Niagara Hudson Power
Corporation was formed and which has
just been declared effective. This con-
solidation has established the company
as the largest producer of electric cur
rent in the United States and there Is
no doubt expressed in electrical circles
that both Niagara Hudson Power and
the North American Co., the second
largest producer, will continue to add to
their holdings.
These facts have turned the atten-
ton of financiers and engineers
toward the regulation of the So-called
superpower systems. Such regulation
must rest in the hands of the Inter
state Commerce Commission II the lines
transport current from State to State
or in those of the State utility commits
