Mitchell has heard no more from
the Virginian, but he checked up the
next day and learned that the forecast
had been fulfilled 100 per cent.
I'D have heard from him if that
forecast had proved failure, however"
Mitchell told friends after the Incl

All of which should tend to show
that the weather man is not a hard
hearted killjoy whose chief pleasure in
life is predicting rains on holidays and
Withholding snow from youngsters with
Christmas Sleds.
Both of the local forecasters are
human beings, with families and happy
homes. They are just as much dis
guSted when torrents spoil a double
header as the rest of the city-and
probably more troubled than the aver
age citizen when the forecast goes
haywire.
In addition to issuing the regular
weather reports that are printed in
the newspapers and bulletinized in
public places, they willingly make spe-
cial forecasts for the benefit of varied
interests and individuals. When the
home team is playing at Griffith Stadi-
UNI, they answer frequent phone calls
from park officials regarding the wealth.

House as to threatening conditions over

kept records show that he is correct
in his prophecies about IS per cent of

Prosecutor Believes Pris-
oner Had No Part in Death
of Mary Baker.
WARRANT FOR BARRERE
ISSUED, THEN DESTROYED
Virginia Custom Is to Act Thus
to Have Suspect Returned
to Scene.

Herman L. Brewster, held in the
Arlington County Jail on a warrant
charging him with the murder on April
IL of Miss Mary Baker, may be re-
leased today, it was stated by Common
wealth's Attorney William C. Cloth.
Brewster, soldier, has been in jail for
the past several weeks as a result of an
alleged confession, which he afterward
repudiated
Cloth said that if he could make the
necessary arrangements Brewster would
be given his liberty, authorities now
of the murder. The only thing that in
terfered with the mans release this
morning is an agreement that Cloth
has with Capt. A. r. Boiling, Brewster's
commanding officer, that the soldier
would not be turned loose without the
oficer having been so notified.
May Leave Army.
It is believed that Brewster may leave
the Army as result of the unfavor-
able publicity resulting from his arrest.
A murder warrant for Herman H.
Barrede, issued several days ago, at the
suit of reports that the former had been
seen in the Fredericksburg, Va, section
recently and authorities felt that they
must have some authority to bring him
back if he was discovered there, it was
stated today by Cloth. The warrant
was destroyed when Barrere was not
found.
Followed Old Custom.
Cloth said that he had requested the
issuance of the warrant by Associate
Trial Justice Bryan Gordon in accord
ance with a policy that must be fol-
lowed in Virginia in order to return a
suspect to the county from some other
place, the law providing that such per-
sons may not be removed against their
will unless charged with some specific
offenSe.
Similar warrants have been used in
the apprehension of every other person
taken into custody for questioning iii
connection with the crime and are not
TO be taken as an indication that the
authorities believe the persons so ar
rested are guilty of the crime with
which they are charged in the war
rants, Cloth declared.

Substantial improvement can be
made through a better regulated
marketing of what we produce, and
in my judgment substantial gain is
being made in the improvement of
the present marketing system
through organization of producers.
We will have to go beyond that,
however, for a complete answer and
that answer is an adjustment of pro-
ductiOn to the end that it more near
ly conforms to the potential domes-
tic demand. Last spring the Fed
eral Farm Board asked the spring
wheat farmers of the northwestern
states to give serious consideration
to the necessity for adjusting their
wheat production program. Reports
from that section show that growers
responded to the suggestion and re-
duced their acreage. The Board in
dicated at the time that farmers OF
the winter wheat belt would also be
asked to consider the possibility OF
an acreage adjustment program as
means of improving their cOpdi-
tions.
Some believe that wheat farmers
can increase their profits by a fur
ther reduction in their production
costs. The Farm Board has no crit
icisms to offer to the advocates of
cost reduction program. Lowering
production costs wherever it is pos
sible and adjusting acreage so that
less wheat will be produced are the
two fundamental things that farm
ers must do to increase their profits.
D. Back of all of this, we come to the
fundamental problem of how this can
be brought about and the answer is
organization. The more completely
the producers can organize into units
for collective action, the more quick
ly will we attain the desired end.

REVERENCE FOR CONSTITUTION
is URGED BY CURTIS

A call for reverence" and obed-
ience to the Constitution and "all its
articles and amendments" was is
sued by Vice-President Curtis at
Ocean City, N. ].
Speaking in this wet state before
a gathering of members of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, the Vice
President took note of the proh1bi-
ton issue indirectly in calling for
strict enforcement of all laws.
1.-THE Constitution of the United
States," he asserted, sis the keynote
of our national strength, our pride
in the hour of prosperity, our con-
ISOLATION and rallying point under
every pressure of adversely; and
whoever seriously wishes to preserve
our Constitution in its full purity
and vigor must of necessity wish to
have all it's articles and amend
ments honestly obeyed and faithful
ly enforced"
"What we need now more than
ever" the Vice-President told the
assemblage, ''is reverence for the
Constitution and respect for the
courts of our country. 1t is not
pleasing to note the wave that is
sweeping over the country which dis
regards law and order and the Con-
stitutiOn and substitutes mans de-
sires and weakens opinion of law.
ITO determine the extent to
which legislation is beneficial and
beyond which it is hurtful is the
province of craftsmanship. While
people may differ as to the wisdom
of enactment of particular piece OF
legislation or as to amending the
Constitution in regard thereto, it is
impossible to ignore the Constitution
and unthinkable to evade it by an
administrative policy, either nation
al or state"
Mr.. Curtis also referred to the
London Naval Treaty and asserted
that conference, along with the
washington Naval Conference OF
1921, the recent evacuation of the
Rhineland, the Kellogg Pact and the
Locarno Treaty call point toward
permanent peace"
THAT it may come" he added, is
the passionate and lasting desire OF
the people of the civilized world"
Milford chronicle., 1930-07-18
THE ART OF BUYING

The business philosophers tell us
that it does not make so much diff
ference to us what we earn but it is
what we save that counts. Many
people who have large incomes can't
save cent.
The capacity to save depends upon
two things. First, the ability to deny
oneself foolish expenditures. Sec
Ond, the udiciOus use of our income.
Many people who have the capacity
of self denial, yet can't seem to
spend their money wisely. They
keep buying stuff that is not worth
what they pay for it.
Success in the use of money de-
pends upon a process of education.
Some folks are skillful buyers and
some are unskillful. Some people
make a careful study of every pur-
chase, and they become excellent
judges of every article of household
and personal supplies. These folks
are not likely to be reduced to pow
erty.
One of the principal means for ac-
quiring this skill in the art of buy
ing, is to study the newspaper ad-
vertising. People who read advertise
ments closely form good idea of
what goods should cost, what types
of merchandise prove most satisfac-
tory. They get a vast amount of in
formation about the details that go
to make up substantial and useful
goods. They learn about the latest
ideas in the various lines, and the
best times and places to buy. People
who study advertising are almost in
variably good buyers.
Business men help the public ac-
quire this kind of skill by printing
as many details as they can in re-
gard to their goods. They make
their advertising educational. Thus
they render a service to the public,
appreciation of which is shown by
the numbers of people that flock to
the advertised stores.

PROPOSED AUTOMOBILE
INSPECTION E
(Every Evening"

No automobile owner in Delaware
will be exempt from the order re-
Gently issued by Secretary of State
Grantland, as head of the State Au-
tomobile Bureau, requiring all cars
used on the roads of the State to be
inspected. The purpose of this in
spection is to correct defects where
any are found. The work was start
ed Tuesday and must be completed
by September 1. After the latter date
defective cars found on the roads
will be potential trouble makers for
their owners and drivers. The police
will see to this.
There was an inspection last year,
but, according to the authorities,
some cars escaped examination. This
year it is intended that none shall
escape. ".r.
Every motorist owes it to himself,
as we'll as all others using the roads
to keep his car in good condition.
Any one who fails to do so becomes
a menace to the travelling public.
The proposed inspection will, it is
believed, get unsafe machines off the
roads. -a't'-
Although half of July and all Of
August have been designated as the
period in which the inspection is to
be made, it will be advisable to at
tend to the matter early. Toward the
end of the period the inspection sta
tions will be overrun with demands
for their services, and there is like
ly also to be a congestion in the re-
pair shops. --..s.
What is to be done is in the inter
est of public safety. Everybody
should cooperate in the movement.
Those who do not attend to the mat
ter voluntarily will only invite trou-
BILE for themselves.
