MILFORD MEN HAVE
FINE FISHING TRIP
Three Men Catch A Total Of 213 Fish
Last Sunday

A party of three Milford men had
an enjoyable fishing trip off Lewes
Inlet last Sunday, when they hooked
a total of 213 fish. Henry Ingram,
John w. Hallett and Wallace Burn
made up the party. They caught 207
trout, halibut and 1 cod. Hook and
line fishing is about over for this
year, but the men went out to the
fishing grounds for one more outing
before the cold weather stops this
form of sport. They were well re-
paid for their efforts.
Hook and line fishing has been es-
pecially good in the Delaware. Bay
all summer. The largest trout
caught on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
was hooked off Slaughter Beach by
a man from Salisbury, Md, a few
weeks ago. The man was awarded a
prize by the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association for the largest
fish caught this year.

ALFRED |. DUPONT
BEGINS AID TO NEEDY
POOR this MONTH
10 Statement He Says That This
Country Lags Behind Others In
Care Of Unfortunate.
mrs. WALLS RESIGNS
Will Devote Her Entire Time
To Administering Affairs Of
The Fund.

In a statement sent out this week
Alfred 1. DUPONT, of Wilmington, who
has had Mrs. Laura C. Walls work.
ing on a plan to aid the needy poor
of the State, announced that checks
will be sent out the first of Novem-
ber to those selected to receive help
from the fund to be established. In
his statement he calls attention to
the fact that this nation lags far be-
hind other countries in the manner
in which aid is extended to the
needy.
Mrs. Laura C. Walls who has been
working for months on the Old Age
Pension plan announced this week
that she has resigned as a teacher
in the public schools, and will de-
vote all of her time to the pension
work.
In his statement Mr.. DUPONT says:
81 wish to announce that the
checks for the old Age Pension
will be sent out on November first.
eve shall carry this pension plan
on conservative lines, and every pre-
caution will be taken to pension
only the neediest poor, and in no re-
spect encourage idleness. 1t is also
very important that the amount ap-
propriated, will not exceed what the
State will be willing to appropriate
at the meeting of the next legisla-
ture. The State, no doubt would put
a specific limit on the amount to be
distributed to pensioners, and it
would have to be divided the best
possible way, to meet the actual
needs of each beneficiary. 1t is sur
prising the amount of comfort that
can be derived from even $4,000 per
year for each pensioner, if properly
expended. A plan will be worked out
however, by an investigator in the
field, to try to meet the urgent needs
of those who are actually suffering
for the necessities of life.
'I am very much interested indeed
in looking to the improvement in
conditions of what we call the Poor
Houses in the State. Surely, some
more appropriate name for these
homes should be devised. In any
event, from what I have been able to
gather from my Investigations
abroad, particularly in Germany, as
to the cost of caring for the needy
aged persons, we are spending here
at least twice as much as we should
and not nearly giving them the com
forts which they have in other coun-
tries. I had an excellent opportunity
to study the German way of handling
this matter and it is really remark
able what they can accomplish in the
way of caring for elderly men and

SOME INDUSTRIES NOT
UNDER FEMALE LAW
Delaware Canning Industry Ex.
empted Because Of Nature Of
Business.

Fruit and vegetable canning and
preserving is the only Delaware in
dustry not covered by the 1O-hou1
day and 55-hour week law for wo-
men workers in the State, according
to a recent survey of all labor leg
1slation for women workers in the
country, made public by the wo-
mems bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor.
That canneries, excluded from the
Delaware hour law on the basis of
the need for long hours and over
time in this industry so highly sea-
sonal and subject to irregularity
arising from climatic and weather
conditions, can come under legal
regulation, is proved by the Is States
and the District of Columbia report
ed as not exempting the canning in
dustry in their general laws limiting
daily and weekly hours of women
works in manufacturing Two of the
10 States and the District of Colum-
bia restricting the hours of labor for
women to eight hours day do not
exempt canneries from this provi-
sion.
Although three States-California,
Oregon, and Wisconsin-have eX-
cluded canning from the general
hour law for women in manufac-
turing as Delaware has, nevertheless
they have placed restrictions on wo-
mems overtime in canneries by re-
quiring an increased rate of pay, and
may, therefore, be said to have reg
ulated to a certain extent women's
hours in this industry, and to have
blazed the trail for similar legisla-
ton in other States, the report
shows.
Delaware Stands High
Delaware, which is not one of the
leaders in hour legislation, stands,
however, we'll towards the front
among the 16 States revealed by the
bulletin as having prohibited night
work for women to some degree. By
the 1917 law in Delaware women are
not allowed to work between the
hours of 10 P. M. and 6 A M. in
mechanical, manufacturing, laundry,
baking, printing, dressmaking estab-
lishments, and offices. Hours of
working in mercantile establish
ments, telephone and telegraph Off
ces and exchanges, restaurants, ho-
tells, and places. of amusement are
limited, if done between II P. M.
and z A. M. to eight hours in any "a.

DR.. SHORT ADDRESSES
MONTANA AUDIENCE
Tells Westerners Construction Of
Community Is Easy If Will Is There

A copy of the Livingston Enterprise
of Livingston, Montana, received at
the Chronicle office this week, car
ries an interesting account of an ad-
dress given in that city recently by
DR.. F. Burgette Short, formerly of
Milford. The account follows:
From wealth of experience in
community endeavor and with a gift
of voice and oratory that held his
audience in close attention for an
hour, DR.. F. Burgette Short of New
York City, in constructive address
limitless almost in its abundance of
injected and original humor, made
for himself the record of occupying
position as one of the very best
speakers to face meeting of local
civic club for number of years. DR..
Short is employed as an organization
builder by one of the leading store
organizations and while making a
trip covering practically every state
in the union, consents to address
civic clubs of the cities in which his
business calls. him. Not once during
the entire address did he mention
the name of the company by which
he is employed.
From a list of subjects, the pro-
gram committee selected Building a
Community" and Dr. Shorts mes
sage was builded around the admo-
milton to first know the potentialities
of your territory and then proceed to
develop them. with Mrs. Short and
as guests of Mr.. and Mrs. George La
mar of the J. c. Penney Company,
DR.. Short and wife made the COM
plete loop of the Yellowstone Park
between the hours of 10 a. m. and
$3.50 p. m. Monday with stop of one
hour at Old Faithful. The weather
he said was delightful and the trip
through the Wonderland at this par
ticular season of the year, afforded
them great treat.)
The speaker first told his audi
ence which was composed of Rotar-
ians and Kiwanians in a joint meet
ing, that he had been a Methodist
pastor in the west, having held pas
torates in the First Churches of Salt
Lake City, Spokane and Portland. He
is not now in the ministry but his re-
marks and frequent references to ex-
periences while officiating in church
work, frequently recalled the fact of
his past connection.
DR.. Short first asked how many
men resided in Livingston and when
his question was answered as to the
approximate number he proceeded to
offer proof of the potential strength
in man-power possessed within the
corporate limits. Organizations of
any kind" he said, cannot go ahead
at full speed unless the organiza-
ton and the program is democratic.

gram In other words, Labor has had
the limelight-and basked In tex
clusively in the arena of foreign affairs
so far. Now it must wade int the
fray of purely domestic affairs. These,
rather than naval limitation and repa-

OF all purely local questions, coal is
probably the most immediate and press
ing. 1t is now at the most critical
unyielding, and the Labor government
is between the devil and the deep sea.
Owners and miners are in an appar-
emily unbreakable deadlock. The gov
overnment has promised to bring about
shorter hours, but the coal operators
insist it cannot be done without wreck
ing the industry, unless shorter hours
are accompanied by reduced wages. OF
these the men will not hear, and they
are egging the government on to turn
deaf ear to them as well.
Yet another thorny path Labor must
soon tread in Parliament concerns the
re-recognition of Soviet Russia. The
Conservatives especially will demand
cast-iron guarantees that resumption
of relations with the Soviet means COM

ganda. especially in India. Unless Mr..
Macdonald can produce such guaran-
tees, recognition may be refused by
