BRI7ISHER LOOMS
 AS GOLF CHAMP
Perkins Seems Able to Defeat
 Other Claimants

Chicago, July 25 CP-T. Phillip Perkins, the methodical Briton, to- day stood out as the heir apparent to Don Noes western amateur golf championship.
 r AS the tussle for the crown, drop ped by Moe yesterday, entered the semi-fnal round over the Beverly Country club course, Perkins not only had the reputation but a game that appeared invincible to his three rivals-Johnny Lehman and Ira Couch of Chicago. and Bob McCrary of Des Moines, Iowa.
 Perkins, now resident of New York but still a hope of British amateurs, went over the champion ship course with a 69, two strokes under par yesterday to win a dra- matic, uphill skirmish in the quarter finals against Jack Westland. Chi cago district champion. It was the best score ever carded on the course even though officials refused to ac- cept it as course record because it was made in match play. But the score and the great comeback of Perkins had it's effect and today he ranked as the man to beat for the title.
 Plays Lehman
 Opposing the former king of Brit ish amateurs today in the 36 hole quarter final round was Lehman who upset Moe one up, by sinking a 35 foot putt for a birdie three on the 37th hole yesterday. Lehman was ex- pected to give Perkins hard fight but the Briton was the heavy favor ite.
 The McCrary- Couch battle was somewhat Of a toss-up variety with the odds slightly in favor Of Mo Crary because of hts greater tour nament experience.
 Moe, weary after his golfing wars in England this summer, never held a lead on Lehman yesterday at any stage of the long match. Five times he tied the match but the birdie on the extra hole sent him spinning from the throne he won at Kansas City last year.

RUSS HANGED;
PROTESTS HIS
INNOCENCE
[C0ntinned from First Pagel

COntinHed from First Page]
attorney generals Office decided to
take no action, in that the arsenic
had been discovered before it reach
ed Russ.
The attack which resulted in
Russ death occurred in Mrs. Reed S
home on February %, last. Russ
was convicted in April.
Three appeals for new trial and
two appeals for a pardon or COM
mutation before the State Board of
Pardons failed.
Russ slept very little during the
last night of his life. He is said to
have gone to sleep early Friday
morning, also arising early. Told he
could have anything he desired for
breakfast he ordered only a cup of
coffee and then received spiritual
consolation from the Rev. ]. R. Hol-
lans, pastor of Haven NJ. Z. Church
and the Rev. w. M. Price, pastor of
the Eighth Street Baptist Church,
both colored churches.
For an hour before the hanging
Russ sat with the two ministers and
D. J. Atwell. connected with Haven
M. E. Church, in an ante room OF
Warden Leach's office.
The official execution jury lett the
center" of the workhouse at 1l:07
O'Clock and started their walk
through the tunnel leading from the
workhouse to the whipping post.
The tunnel was intensely hot and
brought a sweat to everyone's brow.
Russ was handcuffed before he
left the anteroom on the death
march and was supported on either
side by workhouse guards. He SEEM
ed at times on the verge of collapse
but eventually went to his death
with a smile ON his face and the
words of the Lords Prayer on his
lips.
The Rev. Hollans and the Rev.
Price walked up the gallows with
Russ.
Russ recited the Lords Prayer,
smiling. The Rev. Hollans then him
self repeated the prayer. When Russ
was asked by the minister if he had
to say before he entered
the valley of death Russ said:
"I'm being hanged not for an at
tack but because of whiskey. Tell
all your men to keep out of bad
company and away from bad peo-
pie. Tell them to serve the Lord and
they'll never come to a place like
his"
The black cap was then placed |
over Russ face by one of the guards :
while another adjusted the strap |
lbout his ankles. Then the trap was
sprung and Russ began his journey
nto the unknown.
The hanging was witnessed by
several newspapermen, the jury and
several others.

Forest Fire Situation In The
State Is Summarized; Serious
Fires Preventable, Says Report

According to a report of the State
Forestry APARTMENT released today
for press use, there have been los
forest and grass fires in the State
since January 1st of this year. This
number represents only those that
were reported and fought by vOlun-
teer fire companies, cooperating
with the State Forestry Department,
and by no means indicates the full
number of fires which occurred and
for which the Department has
neither report nor record. In all
probabilities, the actual number of
fires is in excess of 200.
Sussex County leads in the num-
ber of fires; their record being so,
while New Castle is second with 81.
The remainder occurred in Kent
County. Under the classification of
causes, "a are listed as unknown, IA
resulting from brush burning, 25 by
railroads, and 8 from rubbish and
ditch bank burning.
The loss to the State from forest
fires is estimated at $501, ,14O for the
1876 acres burned over much of
which might have been avoided had
the State an adequate protection sys-
TEN.
If Delaware had five fire lookout
towers situated at advantageous high
points in the State, fires could be
detected as soon as they started.
The cost of purchasing and erect
ing these towers would be approx
mately $4,000 The only further ex-
pense to such a system being a few
dollars per year for repairs and the
salary of lookout men during danger
periods. This cost would not exceed
$4,000 per year. Experiment and
practice in other States have found
this system more economical and ef-
ficient than the airplane. The big
drawback to the use of the plane be-
ing the cost of operation and the diff
ficulty of quick communication with
the ground.
Simply to so equip the State that
forest fires may be quickly detected
and reported is not enough. Volun-
teers, without leadership and equip
ment to aid them in combating fires
are helpless to cope with such fires
as Delaware experiences. Funds for
the purchase of adequate equipment
and funds with which to pay fire
fighters at least the going hourly
wage must be provided if efficiency
of a sort is expected. An institution
of the State cannot and must not ex-
pect disinterested citizens to turn out
and help extinguish forest fires with
out compensation for their labor.
Fighting forest fires is the hardest
kind of labor and requires going

GRAPE TOUR WAS
WELL ATTENDED
TContinued from First Paael

[COntinued from First Pagsl
in a short distance of each other
and which represent almost hun
dred acres of Concords. A feature
of unusual interest in the Hudson
vineyard was the special wiring de-
vice which has been constructed in
few rows to make use of the cleo
tricity in the air for the control of
insects.
The next stop on the afternoon
program was at the vineyard of
John M. Roe, and then the growers
proceeded to the vineyard of N. W.
Taylor where a fertilization expert
ment has been carried on since
1924. At the vineyard of B. B.
Chase, which was the next farm Wis
tied, the attention of the growers
was also called to a similar expert
ment which has been conducted for
a equal period of time in an effort
to determine the proper kinds and
amounts of commercial fertilizer
that should be used to obtain the
most profitable yields and to main
tain vine growth.
The plan of the spraying demon
stration for berry moth control
which is being conducted this sea-
son in the vineyard of E. c. Pleas
anton was explained by DR.. Stearns
when this place was visited, and
the growers were also shown the
bOom-type of sprayer which is be-
ing used in this vineyard as
means of securing a more even dis
tributiOn of spray over the vines
and clusters. Another spraying
demonstration for berry moth con-
troll is also being carried on in Mr..
Willim's vineyard this year.
The tour was brought to a close
at the farm of Denny PleasantOn
where the growers were given the
opportunity to study the results of
muriate of potash that has been
added in different amounts per acre
to the regular fertilization which
Mr.. Pleasanton has been following
for the past few years. Demonstra-
tions with potash are also being
carried on this year in the vine
yards of Ed. Todd, near Viola, and
l. r. Jackson, near Wyoming.
Taking into consideration the
grape districts throughout the en-
tire county, the members of the
tour were of the opinion that the |
grapes are in the best condition |
that they have been for many years
rs far as being free from insect in |
iurV. although the leaf hODperS are |
very prevalent this summer causing
he leaves of the grapes to become
brown, which will naturally affect
he crop and the vitality of the
zines. The crop this year will be
below the average for
his section, as many of the clus-
.ers are not properly filled and the
grapes are small due to the dry
weather.

The people of the United States
need better information as to what
is going on in domestic markets,
and in the markets of the world
that affects their economic welfare,
/ in order that they may be able to
develop an American policy which
will insure the maintenance of ma
tional prosperity.
In all the discussion of the sur
plus grain problem, which is the
heart of the American farm prob
lem, the people of the United States
are only now learning what has
been happening in Europe to de-
press grain prices, especially wheat
prices, namely the addition to the
world grain surplus this year of
the product of ten million acres of
mechanical state farms, which with
combination of appropriated land,
American types of machinery and
serf labor working under military
discipline and at a starvation wage,
will throw upon the world market
more than 2OO,00O,0O0 additional
bushels of Russian wheat. A half
million bushels of wheat left the
Danube River for export market on
July "a. And this is only a drop in
the bucket compared with that
which is coming, for RussiO, with
the help of American capital, ex-
perts, patents and machinery, is
preparing to turn from fifty to a
hundred million acres of seized
land to this purpose. This ends abb
sOlutely the prospect of any for
eign market for American wheat,
oats or barley after 1882, for the
American farmer, with his costs,
cannot stand up in competition
against this combination of stolen
land, slave labor, and the declared
Russian purpose of dumping eX-
ports below cost if necessary to de-
moralize industry, create unemploy-
ment, and prepare the ground for
revolution in nOn-communist coun-
tries.
This news has only just broken in
the American daily press, though
European newspapers long ago
chronicled the fact that Holland
has put a boycott on Russian grain
with the charge that it was being
dumped, regardless even of the
beggarly cost, on western Europe
with. a view to running agriculture,
and British newspapers now COM
plain that this flood has been di-
verted to England, causing depres-
sion in the United Kingdoms agri-
culture. A little of this wheat has
reached the United States under
the handicap of a high tariff which
alone prevents further farm depres-
sion here. All of it affects the Liv-
erpool and therefore the American
price.
The significant thing is that this
destructive invasion, which extends
not only to farm products, but es-
pecially to timber, manganese and
anthracite coal that is now displac-
ing American employment, has
been chiefly made possible by Am
erican capital. American manufac-
turers of tractors and agricultural
machinery have been helping the
Moscow masters construct vast ag-
ricultural machinery and tractor
plants, turning over to them capital,
patents and expert direction. Prof.
Peter A. Kozmin, editor of the So
Wet Miller, head of delegation of
soviet millers now touring the Uni
ted States, says that two tractor
plants now completed, or in process

WILD LIFE FACES
DEATH UNLESS
WINTER FED
Starvation And Exposure
Threaten Their Extinc-
tiOn In Many Localities.

The drought, Over-grazing, forest
grass and brush fires together have
created an alarming condition fol
wild life to face this winter; star
walton and exposure threaten their
extinction in many localities. Win
ter feeding and the necessity for
providing cover and shelter is inn
peratiVe, according to Carlos Avery
president of the American Game
Protective Association.
Sportsmen's organization, state
game conservation departments
farmers, the aeronautical commit
tee of the American Legion, and
other Legiannaires, together with
Boy Scouts are already arranging
to help meet the enormous demand
for winter feeding for game, song,
insectivious birds and animals.
The Legion committee used air
planes last year in winter feeding,
dropping grain bombs" over large
areas. The bombs consisted Of
fiimsy bags filled with grain and
grit. They burst upon contact, scat
tering the grain for the birds.
"Over-grazing, which has caused
many cattle to be removed from
starvation areas" Mr.. Avery said,
has not only exhausted the food
supply for many species of game,
but has wiped out the cover as
well. Birds and animals need COW
er in whic hto hide from their ma
tural enemies and for shelter from
the weather almost as much as they
need food.
, Everyone can help in this work
of winter feeding and carrying the
through the hardships that
might overwise wipe it out. Farm
ers who have not already cut their
grain crops can leave patches of the
grain standing to the great benefit
of the birds; those who have al
ready cut wheat and other grains,
can leave shocks of it standing in
the fields, which will serve almost
as well both for food and cover.
Brush should be piled in numbers
of small piles for shelter. No doubt
everyone can devise many ways and
means of aiding the wild life in this
grain and grit should be
stored now against the winter" he
concluded.

Y O-U
AND YOUR
MONEY
Successful Speculation
By John P. Mullen

Dy JONI +. MulleH
'You gotta know when to pick 'em
up and when to lay 'em down."
That, they will tell you, is the Sc
cret of success in the stock market
To the average man the formula is
lidiculously simple: buy low and sell
high. For the financially astuter
however, that simple statement car
Yes a wealth of meaning and very
clear note of warning.
1t is very difficult to reduce sue
cessful speculation to a single
formula. Buying on the dips and
selling ON the bulges" certainly is
not the whole story. Often the dip
is but the fOrerunner of drop that
wipes out margins completely. And,
as many wOuld-be speculator can
testify, waiting for the "bulges" is
very often prOfitless occupation.
Successful speculation in stocks,
wheat, corn or any other commodity
is anactivity based on knowledge and
study. The average man fails IN the
stock market simply because, SO
times out of a 100, he does not know
what he is buying or selling. Men
who would not purchase we'll
known make of automobile without
thorough demonstration, buy and
sell stocks on inside information,
untraceable tips, or because so-and-
SO is buying or selling. Such actiV-
ity is not speculation; it is gambling
of the mCst ineXcusable kind.
Speculation, as it is carried on to-
day, is an art. 1t is the placing of
money, time or other valuable con-
siderations in a legitimate enter
prise which the speculator has rea-
son to believe, either from his own
experience and knowledge or from
reliable information, will succeed.
The true speculatOr assumes great
risks in the hope of large profit to
pay for the hazard. But the risks
he takes are not unreasonable ones,
since he makes every effort to mini
mize the speculative element and to
guard against loss. He realizes that
to succeed in speculation he must
possess ample, unlimited time for
investigation, reliable information,
reputable brokerage connections,
courage and patience, sufficient n
nancial intelligence and experience,
and, above all, thorough knowledge
of the commodity he buys and sells.
, Unless he is so equipped, he is TAX
ing a chance of the blindest sort.
Despite popular notions to the
contrary, very few men carry for
tunes out of the stock market. Those
who do, make this type of specula-
ron their business. They are IA
miliar with values, and they are men
in constant touch with the money
markets, men who know the me-
chanics of buying and selling, and
do not overreach themselves. And
these men, for the most part, confine
their operations to stocks of one par
ticular class, stocks of corporations
with which they are as familiar as
the executives that head them. In
short, the successful spectators are
those who know what they are buy
ing and selling and why.
