the only thing you get in the
new-type Atlantic Gasoline:
1t is the most amazingly
smooth the most nicely bal

1t is so clean and complete

carbon was once the great enemy
of automobile engines.
1t is easy starting, agile on

CROP GRADING PAYS
BROCCOLI GROWERS

using the insignia included leading
growers on the Peninsula from the
lower Virginia counties, through the
Eastern Shore of Maryland countles
where broccoli is grown, and as Iar
north as Middletown, Delaware.
In the broccoli report are figures
giving prices for the broccoli SNIP
ned from the peninsula in hampers
as compared with that shipped IN
crates. The report shows an IN
crease in price of the crate stocK
over the hamper stock ranging from
1Oc to S1.85, or making an average
increase throughout the shipping
season of approximately $1.OO. Whlle
these figures apply to all crate anu
hamper shipments, a more dennlte
statement is offered showing an IN
crease received for goods shipped
under the Del-Mar-Va insignia over
that also shipped in crates put not
bearing the insignia and offers very
interesting results. -
From the beginning OF the snip
ming season on March 15 and con.
tinuing until March 20, all broccoh
Skinned in crates bore the Del-Mar-
Va insignia. These shipments
brought from S2.12 to $3.50 per crate
during that period. From that time
on until the end of the shipping
season, figures are offered showing
the average daily price for all crate
goods as compared with the average
daily price of that shipped under the
associations direction. The goods
marketed under the association plan
was sold at an increased price Whlcn
ranged from lie to 79c per cra.e
over the average daily range III
price. 80,
One of the impressive deVelop-
ments in connection with the Del
Mar-Va plan was the shipment OF
several carloads of broccoli conslgn-
ed to distant points and packed IN
refrigeration cars properly lceu'
Thev arrived in every instance in
snlendid condition, bringing prices
which gave evidence that this meth<
od of shipment is worthwhile. Not
in all instances were these cars
sbipped entirely under the Del-Mar.
Va insignia but where only part OF
these shipments carried the insignia,
the market price lOA IhAo SN
ceeded others. e
Another endeavor on the part OF
the Marketing Bureau of the Asso-
citation has been to widen the mar
ket for broccoli. Commission men
and buyers at distant points VINO
have never before expressed inter-
est in this crop from the Del-Mar-
Va Peninsula, displayed decided de-
sire to obtain shipments. because
of the limited amount underline AS
sociation's plan, it was Impossible 10
supply the demand but there is en-
thusiastic interest expressed among
the growers and shippers to meet
this condition next season.
The Del-Mar-Va Assoclaton'
through it's Marketing Bureau ex-
tends a general invitation to all
farmers, growers and shippers to
visit headquarters and check the
actual figures which have been col
lected to bear out the statements
made.
At the present time the Del-Mar-
Va plan is being used by a material
number of leading asparagus grow
ers and while the season has Deen
seriously interfered with because OF
weather conditions, thus far they
are reported as being entirely salts

Well YOU may have wondered on
last Friday when you received the
Chronicle and did not see any letter
from our village, what has happened
is it sickness, death or mar
riage? Well, it was none OF the
above mentioned, but just to let you
in on the secret: The correspondent
was reminded by his wife tew
davs before that our 25th wedding
anniversary was drawing near, so a
trim was planned to celebrate the
occasion, visiting some of the beauty
snots of our own State of Delaware.
One of outstanding beauty was the
flower and plant conservatory at
.Longwood on the private estate OF
Pierre S. dupont, near Wilmington.
The wonderful displays of flowers
is beyond description, the largest
and best collection in the world,
which have been gathered from the
East and West, North and South.
The banana trees, orange, lemon,
peach, plum and grapes of unusual
size. Why not visit Longwood-a
rare treat for any one? Thousands
of people visit Longwood each week.
The admission is so cents on holl-
days and Sundays, which is given to
the Children's Home and Hospitals
of Wilmington.
We are glad to learn the Hudsons
in the auto accident near Omar, are
improving. They have our best wish
es for a speedy recovery.

Governor Buck vetoed the county
salary bill, as he surely had sufti- |

office holders to warrant the action |
he took in the matter of decision, as |
it is pretty generally known that for
the most part very little attention
is paid or interest shown in their |
work Except on pay day), as the
work is carried on by under-pald |
clerks. Why not help the clerks,

Observing friends of Ambassador
Charles G. Dawes have been speculating
on whether one of two personal acces-
sories that he has made famous is to be
seen no longer.
During Gen. Dawes visit to the White
House this week, the we'll known under
slung pipe has been steady companion,
but that peculiar follower collar with
a v opening in front has been replaced
by the more Orthodox wing neckwear.
This much light was thrown on the
situation today by Rufus G. Dawes, the
generals brother, who is visiting in
Washington. The change came about
because "of the exigencies of London
haberdashers," said Rufus, adding that
the British apparently never heard of
that odd collar of his brothers.
When Gen. Dawes himself was asked
about it, he waived his hand in mock
seriousness In much the same manner
he did when he was asked some time
ago about silk stockings and knee
breeches, asserting:
"I won't say a thing about anything
like that"

an invitation to e. e. Loomis, president
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., to appear
before the grand jury next Monday
morning.
Senator Brookhart, in his speech to

clared that Mr.. Loomis was a guest at
the party, given by Walter j. Fahy, and
that he saw Loomis pour out a drink

from the State and Treasury Depart
ments information regarding tranSpor-
tation by common carriers In this coun-
try Of liquor shipments for embassies

he may discuss this question further In
the Senate in the near future.
1t is Senator Howell's contention that
the steamship lines and other common
carriers are not immune from the law
while transporting consignments for
diplomatic purposes. The Senator has
been endeavoring to gather data on
this question ever since he first spoke
in the Senate more than month ago
about prohibition enforcement In Wash

The Nebraska Senator indicated sew
eral weeks ago that he was having diff
Guilty getting some of the information
he is seeking, but he still is working
on the subject. He has not indicated
definitely when he will deliver his next
speech in the Senate.
