'DEL-MAR-YA SHOWS
A BIG INCREASE In
TOURIST TRAFFIC
A FOrty.Eight Hour Check-Up
Shows 25ll Foreign Cars; Big
Increase.
TWENTY-NINE STATES SEEN
Pennsylvania Leads The Visitors
With 1908; New Jersey Next
With 359.

The fourth annual census of for
eign tourist traffic throughout the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula taken by the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associa-
tion has been completed, with a
check maintained over a forty-eight
hour period.
This year the record shows tour
ist traffic to have increased materi-
ally over any of the last three years.
At main point midway down the
Peninsula where only south bound
traffic in foreign licenses were re-
corded 2511 cars, representing twen-
ty-nine states in the Union were
checked. At other points where
semi-official checks were maintained
the average of 1000 foreign licensed
cars or better during each twenty
four hour period from Friday even
ing until Sunday evening were also
secured.
From the records kept at Associ-
alton headquarters, the increase this
year in tourist traffic over 1926 is
approximately $50 per cent and more
than 100 per cent increase over 1927.
Compared with the 1928 a "a per
cent increase is shown.
The State of Pennsylvania led the
visitors by a considerable figure.
The total number of Pennsylvania
cars on record equal nearly half of
all foreign licensed cars coming into
Del-Mar-Va. There were 1908 bear
ing Pennsylvania tags in the asso-
citation check-up.
New Jersey was next in line with
359 while New York, Ohio and the
New England States provided the
larger portion of the remainder.
Among other states represented
were Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Florida, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Connecticut, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Indiana, Michigan,
California, Missouri, Georgia, North
Dakota, Vermont, Minnesota, Dis
trict of Columbia and the Province
of Quebec, Canada.
Substantiating the associations re-
port is the periodical check main
tained throughout the Virginia coun-
ties as well as at points in the upper
Eastern Shore of Maryland, which
give indications that the Peninsula
is at this season of the year being
visited by an average of more than
1000 foreign licensed cars during
each 24-hour period.
In the last report from the Eas-
tern Shore of Virginia Chamber of
Commerce, where check was kept
at five prominent points, records
show that 1855 foreign licensed cars
were recorded within 12-hour per-
iod. This was a 81 per cent increase
over the same date last month and
semi-official checks in other sections
may be authentically accepted as an
indication of the tremendous in
crease in tourist traffic in all Sec
tions of the Peninsula.

SHRINERS GATHER AT
.REHOBOTH FOR OUTING
Members OF Delaware Club Hold
Two Day Affair At States
Ocean Resort.

A religious service attended by
5000 Shriners and their families as
well as the general public featured
the two days outing of the Shrine
Club of Delaware at Rehoboth. The
service was held Sunday morning as
prelude to the exercises of the day
and the speaker. was the Rev. F.
Burgette Short, native of Delaware

pie, of Spokane, Washington. His
subject was Faith, Hope and Cour-
age" The past potentate spoke from
the porch of the Bellhaven Hotel on
the boardwalk. A synopsis of his
address will be found on another
page of the Chronicle.
AS an illustration the minister
used Charles A. Lindbergh whom he
described as man who had the
faith and the courage to carry out
his program and by so doing became
the outstanding figure that he is in
the minds of the people of all coun-
tries today. Incidentally he alluded
to the work which the Order of the
Mystic Shrine is doing.
Shriners from many of the cities
Of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, who
with their families were the guests
of the Shrine club of Delaware, at
tended the outing which brought to
a close one of the best programs
that has marked the activities of the
club since it's inception.
The two day program was fea-
tured by two concerts by the Lu Lu
Band of Philadelphia, speed boat
races on Silver Lake, golf at the Re
hoboth Country Club, vaudeville
shows, boating and bathing.

JAPANESE BEETLE
REGULATIONS PROVIDE
FOR RIGID INSPECTIONS
Persons Carrying Produce Out OF
Quarantined Areas Must Have
Certificates.
INSPECTORS ARE OBLICINC
Requests For Inspections Should
Be Made Day Before Shipments
Are To Be Sent Out.

The Federal and State Quarantine
against the Asiatic and japanese
Beetles is now being enforced by
government inspectors, and persons
carrying articles under the ban will
find trouble unless they have the
materials inspected before they at
tempt to go into the restricted areas.
1t is not hard to have truck load
shipments inspected. All that is
necessary for persons living in either
Milford, Harrington or Pennington
to do is to notify the inspector at the
post nearest their town on the day
previous to the shipping of the pro-
duce. An inspector will go over the
load and if free from beetles it will
be properly certified. Both New
Castle and Kent counties are in the
uuarantined area. With the exception
of South Milford, Sussex county is
not under quarantine. 1t is loads
which are to be carried into Sussex
county that must be inspected.
Persons carrying food from any of
the quarantined areas to their
homes in Sussex county will have no
trouble with the inspectors. All that
is necessary in such cases is to tell
the inspectors what is in the car so
that the produce may be inspected
at the several inspection posts on
the highways.
Federal and State quarantines re-
strict the transportation of farm
products, nursery and ornamental
stock, sand, soil, earth, peat, COM
post and manure from the quaran-
tined area into territory which is
not under quarantine.
Regulations formulated by the
government provide that every car,
vehicle, box, basket or other con-
tainer of the articles listed shall be
plainly marked with the name and
address of the consignor and the
name and address of the consignee
and shall bear a certificate showing
the contents to be apparently free
from infection. The inspection GER
tificate in the case of carload and
other bulk shipments shall accom-
many the waybill, conductors mani
fest, memorandum, or bill OF ladlng
pertaining to such shipment, or in
the case of truck or other road We
hicle the certificate shall accompany
the vehicle.
Miscue or transfer of certificates
or use of void certificates is proh1b-
tied and may result in the refusal OF
further certifcation to the grower or
shipper concerned.
Products requiring Japanese Bee
tie certification between June 10 and
October Is, inclusive, but on the
movement of which no restrictions

BYRD NAMES MEDICAL
HOUSE FOR DIR. GRIER
President Of Caulk Company Re-
ceiTes RadiOgram From Explorer

Commander Byrd has shown his
high appreciation of modern dentis-
try by naming Medical House in hon
or of DR.. G. Layton Grier, President
of The L. D. Caulk Company, of Mil
ford.
In a radiogram to DR.. Grier from
Little America" Antarctica, June
5th, Commander Byrd says:
CAS- an expression of appreciation
for all of the fine things you have
done for the Expedition, we have
named our Medical House after you.
Medical House, with all the Caulk
products and other medical supplies,
is now deep in the snow. All the
boys join me in sending good wishes
to you and DR.. Nelson"
In answering Commander Byrd on
June 10, DR.. Grier radioed the fol-
lowing reply through the New York
Times:
81 received, and greatly appreciate
your radiogram announcing that you
had named the Medical House of
Little America for me. The L. D..
Caulk Company's thought, as well as
mine, in establishing the special
clinic in, New York preparatory to
your departure, was to make healthy
from a dental viewpoint, the courag-
eous men who accompanied you to
the South Pole, and to prove, if pos
sible, that the science of correct dem
tistry properly applied would assist
in maintaining the physical and
mental condition of your entire per-
sonnel. My hope is that every man
will return, as he left, with a clean,
healthy mouth. This seems assured
if each will continue to follow the
simple instructions impressed upon
him by my able assistant. Do not
permit negligence in the care of the
teeth, the gums and the whole oral
cavity. 1t will result in unhappiness
through pain and the lowering Of
their physical worth to you, and
themselves, should they fail in reg
ular and proper mouth prophylaxis.
DIR. Nelson joins me in sending best
wishes to you and every one of the
good fellows at Little America"
Recently DR.. Francis D. Conan,
chief medical officer with Command
er Byrd, cabled The Caulk Company
that no dental trouble had developed
among the men in the expedition. 1t
may be recalled that The Caulk Com
pany opened a special clinic in New
York City, where for three months
DR.. Clyde A. Nelson, of the Caulk
Research Laboratories, made COM
plete photographic examinations of
every member of the Byrd person
mel, including the Commander him
self, and corrected every dental
condition needing attention. Of this
work Commander Byrd wrote: Il
can assure you that every man of
the Expedition now has an excep-
tionally high regard for modern dem
tistry."
