PHYSICIAN STRESSES
DISEASE PRECAUTION
But Seven Children Have Died OF
$4,000 Receiving Treatment In State

DR.. A. C. Jost of the State Board
of Health, in his weekly talk, stres-
sed the necessity of precaution as to
the disease of diphtheria, inasmuch
as recently several cases have been
reported to the State Board of
Health.
After pointing out the origin of
the disease and its prevalence
among children, he mentions the
fact that in many states of the un-
ion, this is considered diphtheria
year, the disease being more prevail
ent than it has been for some time.
Records show that about $4,000
children have been given immuniza-
tion treatment in the State. Ac-
cording to the State Board of Health
there have been but seven deaths
among children so treated.
The special school district at
Claymont will shortly commence its
annual check-up in order to see that
the children attending the school
have as adequate protection as it is
possible to secure.
Immunity has not been secured at
a great expense or with danger to
those treated, the doctor said. Dur
ing the year past a preparation
made from the serum of sheep or
goats was used in order to lessen
the danger of any bad results aris-
ing, due to the presence of horse
serum in the mixture.

Historical Spots

Marking of historical spots in
Delaware by statues, monuments or
plaques was urged by Dr. George H.
Ryden, professor of history and po-
litical science at the University of
Delaware, in a recent address.
DR.. Ryden spoke on Delaware in
Colonial Times and During the
American Revolution" In his ad-

torical data and facts that could be
obtained concerning the early days
of this portion of the Atlantic Coast.
He traved the development of Della
ware from the days of the first set
tiers coming here from Europe. and
told of the struggle and hardshlps
that confronted them. He told espe-
cially of the political history of the
State, and of how Delaware came to
be the first State of the Union. He
gave the names and facts concern
ing many of the prominent citizens
of the early colony and State, and
said that adequate recognition

GUNNERS FIND MAN
UNCONSCIOUS In BLIND
Milford Party Bring Fred Willis To
Emergency Hospital.

A party of Milford gunners found
Fred Willis, station agent for the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Wyoming,
laying face down and unconscious in
stream of water at Maloney's Pond
in Milford Neck early Tuesday morn
ing. Willis was accompanied on a.
docking trip by Walter Thomas, and
asst they came to the pond they met
Earl B. Atkins and Oscar Maloney of
Milford. They were shown where
there were shooting blinds and went
to them. Willis entered the first
blind, but Thomas walked further
around the pond in search of another
shooting spot. In the meantime Ma
loney had started in the opposite di-
rection around the pond and the two
men met. Thomas then went back to
the blind occupied by Villas and
found him laying face down in about
eighteen inches of water. He was
unconscious. Atkins and MaIoney
were called and after strenuous eff
forts they succeeded in getting Will
lis to breath again. They then start
ed their long march across the marsh

him to an automobile. All three
were almost exhausted when they
finally got off of the march, Willis
was rushed to the Milford Emergency
Hospital, where his condition was
pronounced critical Since his ad-
mittance to the institution he has
been in a semi-conscious condition.
| Willis formerly resided at Lincoln,

XMAS SAVING CLUBS
WILLPAY MILLIONS TO
DELAWARE SAVERS
10 Milford Three Clubs Will Dis
tribute A Total Of 100000
This Christmas.
PLAN GROWS EACH YEAR
Amount Saved For This Years
Holiday Is Much Larger Than
In Previous Years.

Residents of Milford who for the
past fifty weeks have been practicing
thrift and each week laying aside a
sum for the Christmas Savings
Funds conducted by the local banks
are being rewarded to the tune of
100000. This money is released by
the Milford Trust Company, the First
National Bank and Trust Company
and the Savings Fund Clubs of the
L. ID. Caulk Company, all of which
have been in existence for several
years. This is an increase of $4,000
over the disbursements made by
these three clubs last year, and in
dicates that the idea is growing an
nually. In the State a total of ap-
proximately $2,000,000 will be dis
tributed this season. The city of
Wilmington savers are receiving ap-
proximately $350,000 of this amount,
and the remainder is scattered
throughout the towns in the state.
Several years ago the Christmas
Savings Fund idea was started in the
Salisbury, Maryland, banks and saw
ers eagerly accepted the idea and
started a systematic method of saw
ings for the holiday season. Shortly
thereafter the L. d. Caulk Company
in Milford, conceived the idea of
conducting the savings funds for
their employees. The plan was sue
cessful and outsiders were allowed
to join the club. The Milford Trust
Company later took up the idea, and
they too were successful and secured
many depositors therefrom. A few
years ago the First National Bank &
Trust Company started their club
and have each year had a growing
list of club members.
Within the next two weeks the
Caulk Savings Fund will mail out
checks to the amount of $4,000 to it's
members. The Milford Trust Com
pany will mail total of $4,000 to
those who have saved in its club,
and the First National Bank & Trust
Company is paying $4,000. This
money is released in time for the
holiday buying, and is a welcomed
asset to those thrifty persons who
have taken advantage of the three
clubs in Milford.
There are Christmas Clubs in
every town where there are banks.

DOWN HOMERS TO HOLD
ANNUAL DANCE, DOVER
College Boys VIII Make Merry At
Sesqui Inn.

The Down Homers Club of the
University of Delaware have an
nounced that they will hold their
annual Thanksgiving dance next
Wednesday evening, November 9th.
at the Sesqui Inn, Dover. The dance
Will be an informal cabaret affair and
1t is expected that large number of
the young people from this vicinity
vii lattend. 1t is open to the public
and has proved a source of much
fun in years past.
Thls years dance should prove no
exception to the rule. A well known
dance orchestra has been engaged to
furnish an evening of syncopating
merriment an deveryone is looking
forward to a general good time.
Every year those young people who
come home from school or work, for
the Thanksgiving vacation, as well
as those who already live down
home" look forward to this one big
get-together as a nevent not to be
missed. Owing to the limited space
at the Inn and the fact that this is
the only dance to be given in this
part of the peninsula that night it
would be advisable for those desir-
ing to attend to make reservations
as soon as possible ahead. This they
may do by phoning the Sesqui Inn at
Dover. Dinner may be had before
the dance if reservations are made
by Wednesday noon, the club tells
us.
There will be cover charge of
one dollar, which will correspond to
the ordinary general admission. Din
ner will be served until nine, at
which time the dance will start.

SENATOR TOWNSEND
TO CONDUCT PROBE

t!gated By Committee..-W Will
Summons Witnesses.

A Senate agriculture sub-commit.
tee ordered to investigate the New
York, Chicago and New Orleans cot.
ton exchanges organized last Friday
by electing Senator Townsend, Re-
publican, Delaware, chairman, and
adjourned until Tuesday of this
week.
Senator Townsend said definite
plans would be made and witnesses
summoned. 1t was probable, he add
ed that presidents of the three ex-
changes would be among the first
called.
The Alabama Senator, who acted
as spokesman FOR the three Demo-
cratic members of the sub-commit-
tee, said he would issue statement
calling upon all persons in the South
who have information as to Fhe
cause of depression in the price of
cotton and "manipulations" on the
exchanges to present it to the inves-
tigators.
Besides Heflin, the other minority
members are Senators Smith, South
Carolina, and Ransdell, Louisiana.
The Alabaman added that the SUBJ
committee was looking to the DEM
ocratic members to guide in a gen.
eral way the course the investiga-
tion will take.
Chairman Townsend gave assur-
ances that nothing would be done to
disturb or embarrass the orderly
and manufacture of cot
ton"
In a statement issued after an or
meeting of the sub-com-
mittee Townsend said:
"It can be stated with authority
and with full realization of the SEN
of the market and gen.
eral business that nothing will be
done by this committee to disturb or
in any way the regular
business of orderly marketing and
"The object of the committee" he
added, sis to determine if possible
the causes that enter into the pres
ent market price of cotton, which is
reported in many places to be below
the cost of production in face of al
most unprecedented buying at
home and abroad. This heavy buy
ing has continued with little abate-
ment for several weeks"
