RICHMOND WILL
SEEK AIRPORT

RICHMOND. Va, Sept, s.--Intro-
duction of an emergency resolution
pledging the Richmond city council
to give the necessary financial aid
for the extension of the Richard
Evelyn Byrd airport here to accom-
modate the Graf Zeppelin and other
international air liners has been de.
cided upon after a consultation be-
tween Richmond chamber Of COM
merce representatives and city Off
cials.
The resolution will be presented to
the common council Tuesday night
and will be acted upon under sus-
pension of the rules. The advisable
ity of requesting, the board of alder
men to hold a special meeting at
once to concur in the resolution is
now being considered.
The Graf Zeppelin officials have
announced that the international
airport would be located between
Philadelphia and Richmond. Rich.
mond is regarded as having an ex-
cellent opportunity of obtaining the
port, but the Richmond chamber of
commerce must be in position to
make a definite assurance that the
city would do what was necessary.
This means that the Graf Zeppelin
officials must be assured that the
city will provide a field with a mini
mum Of 1000 acres properly cleared
and have a gas pipe line to the field.
An expenditure of 100000 by the
city may be necessary,
The Goodyear Tire Company is
spending $4,000, 900 on a hangar at
Akron, Ohio, and the Zeppelin
hangar must be considerably larger.
Richmond has an opportunity to be-
come the port Of entry for the air
as New York is the port of entry
for steam lines.

Courthouse Renovation
Locates Records of 1777

RICHMOND. Sept. S.-Prepara-
tions now in progress for the reno

courthouse have solved a mystery
of long standing. The original
records Of the first court held there
in 17T7 which disappeared sud.
denly many years ago, have been
found with some musty documents
in the attic. These were being
moved to new quarters when r. c.
Matthews, clerk Of the court, quickly.
recognized the old bound volume.
The prevailing view for years was
that the old book had been stolens
The volume is the minute books
of the first court and gives the
first proceedings. 1t lists all OF the
taxpayers in the county: also their
holdings from the year 1873 to 1880,
and gives the names Of those who
swore allegiance to the crown in
Revolutionary days, as well as those
who would not, along with those
who enlisted in Abraham Penn's
company of soldiers, which fought
in that war.

HERE'S OPPORTUNITY
FOR MILFORD WOMEN
[COntinned from first paael

tant, to an orphange, hospital, in
firmary or other charitable institu-
ton to be selected by the Founda-
ton.
Specimens of canned fruits and
vegetables in the contest will be
judged on the basis of clearness, col
or, pack, neatness, flavor and tex
ture. Meat specimens will be judged
in their relation to pack, neatness,
texture and flavor. There will be
three judges, to be selected by the
Foundation from list of outstand-
ing authorities on home economics,
domestic science, and canned food.
Their decision will be made known
just as soon as possible after Octo-
Der 1.
Gives Hints on Canning
"Any method of canning may be
used for this contest" announces
Anne Williams, director of the con-
test. "The use of a steam pressure
cooker, however, is highly recon-
mended by canning experts and by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
especially in canning meats. Not
only does this method of canning
save time and fuel and assure abso-
lutely sterility and preservation, but
food canned. under pressure retains
all its natural flavor and texture,
which are vital points in any can
ming contest"
That the judging may be thorough
ly impartial and the display of can
ned samples absolutely uniform,
contestants are required to submit
their entries in standard glass jars
of the quart size. All contestants
will be furnished with one Ball ma
son jar and carton for sending in a
canned article, but those making en-
tries in more than one division are
expected to supply their own Jars
and shipping cartons. The sample
jar and prize entry labels for use in
submitting entries may be secured
without cost by communicating with
the headquarters of the National
Canning Contest, 925 S. Homan Ave-,
Chicago, Illinois.

BIG REDUCTION In
DIPHTHERIA CASES
IContinred from fri taael

were 81 cases of diphtheria during
the first seven months whereas this
year there were but As cases.
This is not common throughout the
country where the number of cases
this year in many States has been
higher among the children. In Illi-
nois the number of cases shows an
increase of 26 per cent.
The use of the anti-toxin for diph-
liberia prevention is credited with
having a large influence in this life
saving. DR.. Jost urges mothers who
will soon be preparing to send their
children back to school to have them
immunized before doing so. All of
the hospitals of Wilmington are hav-
ing free clinics on certain days of
the week, when children will be i'm
munized without charge, as the city
has furnished the serum for the i'm
munization.
Since the immunization work was
started in Delaware, wherever it has
been done the children have been
saved from diphtheria. Over 10000
children have been immunized, and
the results have been most satisfac-
tory.

red," Mr.. Smith said, when asked
about the introduction of the pests.
"It is known that nursery stock with
soil about the roots was imported
prior to 1912 into the country where
the pest was first discovered, around
Riverton. From these few the pests
have spread out through New Jer-
sey, the greater part of Pennsylva-
mia, the upper part of Delaware, in
Long Island and parts of Connecti-
cut. Beetles have been found in
Washington, especially on the White
House lawn. Complete control will
have been established when the par
asites catch up with the infestation
of the beetle. There are, however, so
many factors involved that it would
be foolhardy to attemp to make a
prediction as to the year when we
can expect them to be under COM
plete control"
