Plans are being made by off
cials Of the Washington Chamber,
Of Commerce for a five-year *
pansion program, to begin during
the early part Of October, it was
announced today by Charles w.
Darr, president.
A letter has been sent out to-
Chamber members BY Rudolph
Jose, chairman Of the special1com.,
mittee appointed by the board Of
directors to formulate ways and
means to strengthen the chamber,
calling their attention to the cam
paign. The letter declares that
the committee, in considering the
problem. has arrived at two con
cluSions.
Support Lacking
The first of these is that the
local Chamber of Commerce has
not been accorded the member
ship and financial support that
similar organizations receive, even
in cities of smaller population;
while the second is that the resi-
dents Of Washington have not
fully appreciated the need for Co
operation in furtherine the civic
and commercial interests of the !
District. s.a
The: letter announces the gen
eral plan Of the coming five-year
campaign as follows:
ITO make our Chamber Of
Commerce comparable In
strength, influence and COM
munity usefulness with the
strongest chambers Of commerce
in the country.
TO mOdernize where. neces-
sary It's organization structure
and its methods Of operating,
and especially to afford an OPP
pOrtunity for widespread group
and committee service.
'TO make it an organization
in which the views of the mem.
bers can be quickly Crysta1ized
on matters where a united front
of all local groups is desired.
''To broaden the work of the
organization so that it viii
render essential services to va
riOuS general groups, such as
the chambers Of commerce. of
other cities do i'm upbuilding
trade, commerce and industry"
Publicity Sent Out

Chamber of Commerce is n

Letters from all over the cour1-
try are received daily asking for

to this, the organization is en-

XXTHEN dancing to fast fox trot
w time, you march to the music,
allowing e. beat of music to each
STEP.
But when dancing to the new slow
music, each walking step is given q
double action movement.
1t is most important to learn 10
walk properly in the fox trot. tn"
steps in this dance are very long.
Each walking step is given two
quick beats of the music. You place
the whole foot forward (heel and
toes touching) on the first beat,
rising slightly on the toes.
On the second beat, let the heel
drop to the floor. The accent is
placed on the second beat. This
gives more pep" to your walk.
Start With Left Foot
Begin with the left foot and go
forward. walking around the room
right hand to the wall. At first,
exaggerate the movement by rising
I'D and down on the toes in order
to bring the muscles of the toes into
action.
Remember that the walk in the
fox trot is very slow. Each step is
given almost a full second.
In the beginning. do not be afraid
to exaggerate the rising motion. Rise
up and down. Later, you can modify
the action.
When you are ready to dance With
a partner, the rising motion should
be modified ',ntil it is hardly notice
able.
Practice walking forward, reach
ing as far forward as you can. Al
ways make the toes go first.
Learn to Walk Right
To learn to walk correctly-the
woman begins with the right foot
and takes long steps backward. Her
toes must go as far back as possible.
She should practice an extremely
long step.
The woman who has learned to
take a long step can follow a lead
er better than the one who is &C
customed to taking a short step.
BY taking long step, she has her
feet out of her partners way and
she also has them in readiness for
the next movement. She should
lift her feet slightly off the floor
when walking, not let them drag
or Scrape the floor.
Nor must the heels touch the
floor when dancing backward.
When walking forward, 1t is usual
ly necessary to let the heels touch
the floor.
Dance on Toes
After you become expert, you
may dance any way you choose.

TYPHOID FEVER IS

NOW IN MILFORD
Statement Issued By Mil

Says Source Is Located
MAY BE MORE CASES
Until Period Of Incuba-
tiOn Is Over New Cases
May Develop

In a statement headed "The Ty-
phOid Situation In Milford Is Well
Under Control" the Milford Board OF
Health, composed of DR.. S. M. D.
Marshall, DR.. o. V. James and DR.. c.
A. Sargent, says that the present ty-
phOid situation in Milford is well in
hand and that the State Board of
Health believes that the trouble has
been remedied so far as future in
fection is concerned. AS a precaution-
airy measure, however, the local
Board of Health has advised all citi-
zens to be inOculated against the
disease. Several hundred persons
have taken advantage of the offer of
the State to provide these inOcula-
tions without charge. Practically all
. of the school children have been in
Oculated. The majority of the en-
ployees at the L. D. Caulk Company,
the ]. H. Mulholland Company and
the Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company have asked for and received
their first inoculations. The second
will be given today.
There is no reason why the citi-
zens should become unduly alarmed
over the situation; but it is advised
that all should take necessary pre-
cautions during the next few weeks
until danger of infection is passed.
The statement, signed by Drs. Mar
shall, James and Sargent, follows:
"The present typhoid situation in
Milford is well in hand and there is
no apparent reason for alarm. The
State Board of Health is of the opin-
ion that the cause of the trouble has
been found and removed for all time.
ut is expected that the number of
new cases will subside after the pc
riod of incubation of the disease ex-
pires which will be at the end of
the next week or ten days.
Secondary cases will develop un-
less precautions are taken and a
large percentage of the people are
protected by the typhoid vaccine
which is administered by the fam
lily physician or may be received at
the free clinics conducted by the
State Board of Health in the Mil
ford schools on Monday mornings
and at the Milford Town Council
room in the Town Building on Wal
nut street, every afternoon, except
Sunday, at p. m. Everyone is
urged to obtain the protective treat
ments at the earliest possible date.
Every person with fever or with
any suspected symptoms of typhoid
should report to their family ply

YOUTH HARVESTS
CROP OF TOBACCO
Marshall Hastings In Successful Ex-
pertinent; Club Session

Marshall Hastings, a recent grad
uate of Laurel High School, has
just harvested one-fourth acre of
tobacco which he grew as an exper-
iment during the past summer. This
is the first time that an attempt has
been made to grow this crop in the
vicinity of. Laurel and in spite of
the unfavorable weather, the enter
prise was considered a success.
The classes in vocational agricul-
ture at Laurel School followed the
project closely from the sowing of
the seed to the cutting and spear
ing of the tobacco, which operation
took place last week. The boys as
sisted in the cutting and spearing
the tobacco.
After removing the crop from the
field, it was hung on racks to dry in
the open air. On account of the ex-
tremely dry season, it has been
most unfavorable for the crop, but
in spite of this handicap it did we'll
in its new environment.
Several years ago the Wyncoop
brothers grew tobacco on what is
now a part of the Lovett Nurseries
at the eastern entrance to Milford.
A cigar factory was located on the
farm and number of persons were
employed. The first class grade of
tobacco was grown by the Wyn-
coops, Delaware soil is adapted to
the cultivation of the crop
