FEWER DAIRY CATTLE
Census Bureau Also Shows De-
crease in Number of Horses

The decrease in the number of
horses and mules for farm work in
Delaware as indicated by the 1880
farm census of the State made
public by the director of census at
Washington Friday may be attrib-
uted to the development and use
of automobiles and tractors. The
figures show a considerable de-
crease in the number of horses
and a slight increase in dairy
stock in Delaware on April 1. Ac-
cording to the preliminary figures,
/ the number of horses decreased
from 27,752 in 1920, to 1886 in
1880; the number of mules in the
State on April 1, show an increase
from 9439 in 1920, to 1851 this
year, as did also the number of
cattle which increased from 46,509
in 1920 to 1864. While there
was little change in the number Of
mules and cattle in the State on
April 1, this year as compared
with 1920, dairy cattle decreased
from 33,026 in 1920 to 29,742, this
year. The number of hogs Dela-
ware farms decreased from 3S,
621 ten years ago to 20,733 on
April 1, 1880. One of the interest
ing features of the figures is that
an enormous increase in the poul-
try, which shows the number of
chickens increased from 948,6 ,656 in
1920 to 1,550,364 in 1880. The
largest increase was shown in
Sussex county, where there were
546,890 chickens ten years, to l.
070,687 in 1880. Kent County also
reported a considerable increase in
chickens on farms of the county
from 246,93S in 1920 to 318,175 in
1880. The smallest increase was
reported from New Castle County
where the number increased from
154 1928 to 161, ,502 in 1880. The
number of acres devoted to raising
wheat in 1929, the last year CIV
en-, was 105,5 ,566 compared with
125, ,74O in 1919 a falling off of 20
ia acres in the ten years but de-
spite the less number of acres used
the wheat crop in 1929 reached l.
S72, $50 bushels, an increase of
4O0,983 over 1919 when the crop
was 1871 ,267 bushels. There was
a falling off in the ten years of the
quantity of corn, hay and white
potatoes raised.

SERVICE NEEDS INCREASE
Red Cross Chairman Payne Says
Disaster Relief and War Vet
Grams Make Heavy Demands

Demands upon the public services
that the American Red Cross is or
ganized to give are increasingly
heavy, and will continue to be so
in the future, John Barton Payne,
chairman, has announced.
The two major services of the
society-service to war veterans
and their dependents, and relief in
disasters-show each year a great
er number Of persons helped by the
Red Cross.
Pension legislation passed recent
ly for World War Veterans, and in
creased allotments to all Spanish
American War Veterans, have given
to Chapters and the national So
ciety many thousands of additional
cases to handle. Judge Payne said.
In the past year help was given
In los disasters. Ninety of these
were in the United States, twelve
in foreign possessions and six were
in foreign countries.
Health activities of the Red Cross
also are being extended, especially
in the rural communities where all
health authorities agree the great
est need exists. Red Cross, with
794 nurses in its employ, is the
greatest employer of public health
nurses in rural areas in the United
States.
In its campaign against accident
al deaths, begun twenty years ago
programs, the Red Cross now has
adopted an additional program
that of combating the huge toll Of
life from automobile accidents on
the highways.
Expenditures of the Red Cross
in the past year were S4,254,796.34,
of which s1,2OS,15109 was spent
in disaster relief, the chairman
pointed out.
"The Red Cross depends upon
the public for its support, through
their memberships enrolled once
each year in the period from Armis-
tice Day to Thanksgiving Day"
Judge Payne said.
1--WE do not receive any support
from the Government, or through
other taxation, although as the
President of the United States Is
president of the society, and one
third of its governing members are
representatives of U. S. Depart
ments, it ranks as a semi-govern-
mental agency.
by joining as member. in the
local Red Cross Chapter. once each
year, during the annual Roll Call,
every citizen will have a part In
carrying on this great humani-
tartan task"

will be in the afternoon under the
direction of Mrs. Clarence Fraim,
chairman of the Department of
Legislation of the General FEEDER

GASOLINE CUT CENT A GALLON
FOLLOWING GOV. BUCKS ACT
DENY REDUCTION BECAUSE
OF THE LEGAL THREAT
Reduction Became Effective Thurs
day Throughout the Whole of
State of Delaware

Three major companies selling
gasoline in Delaware Thursday put
into effect a 1-cent reduction in
the price of gas per gallon. Their
price is now 10 cents a gallon, in
stead of 20 cents. The companies
are the Sun Oil Company, Atlantic
Refining Company and the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey.
The Sun Oil Company operates
eight service stations, dispensing
gasoline in Wilmington, while the
Atlantic Refining Company oper-
ates nine and the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, four.
The Joy gasoline station has slash
ed its Mobile gasoline to 10 cents
also, and the Independent COM
panies in Wilmington, the Pitts
burgh Oil Company, the Pure Oil
Company and the Old Time Petrol
cum Company, likewise have cut
their price a cent. Millions of gal
Ions of gasoline are sold from
these stations annually. About a
week ago Governor c. Douglas
Buck announced that he had re-
quested Attorney General Reuben
Satterthwaite to prepare indict-
ments against the companies sell
ing gasoline in Delaware at prices
higher than in adjacent states, on
the ground that they were in con-
spiracy to stiffle competition by
maintaining a fixed price. The
one-cent cut is seen as a direct re-
suit of the Governors action, and
is a sop thrown out in the hope of
averting further legal action to-
ward showdown. The compan-
les deny this, however.

Saving Mothers and Babies
Important Red Cross Task

Saving mothers lives and better
babies were important features dur
ing the past year of the Public
Health Nursing Service Of the
American Red Cross. About four
fifths of the 794 nurses in the Red
Cross work made more than 100000
prenatal and maternity visits, in
addition to assisting doctors in the
examination of 1,309,409 school
children.
Statistics reveal that the lives of
two out of three American women
who die in maternity cases could be
saved IL they received proper med
ical and nursing care. AS more
than $4,000 women die in the Unit
ed States each year from various
diseases of the maternal state, this
means that more than 10000 Of
these deaths are preventable.

URGE CARE OF SLIGHT HURTS
Delaware IA. Secretary Suggests
Motorists Summon Physician

Do not risk further injury to ac-
cident victims through ignorance
of simple frst-aid precautions, l..
l.. Hopes, executive secretary of
the Delaware Automobile Associa-
tion, says. Never attempt to move
an injured person until some idea
of the injury has been obtained, he
declared. Many compound and
open fractures have been caused
by simple fractures and spinal
cords nave ben injured in broken
backs because of faulty handling
of accident victims. Under no con-
ditions attempt to Immediately re-
vive and unconscious person. Make
examination for injuries first. Ma
ture is conserving the vital pow
ers of the patient by keeping up
a state of unconsciousness Furth-
ermore, the person is not suffering
during this time. Considerable
damage has been done through i'm
proper use of the tourniquet. APP
ply a belt, handkerchief, rope or
cord about the extremity near the
bleeding point and tighten just
enough to stop the bleeding. Do
not keep the tourniquet on for
more than 80 minutes. If help is
not forthcoming after this space
of time, loosen it for a moment
and then re-apply. Treat all VIC
tins as alive until the doctor ar
rives. Many cases of extreme
shock will appear to be dead to
the average layman. All serious
ly wounded cases will develop
shock. This state should be rec
ognized and treated. The signs of
shock are pale face, perspiration
of the brow, staring eyes, cold,
clamy skin, weak, stringy pulse
and feeble or signing breathing.
If bones are broken, the joints
above and below the injury must
be prevented from moving. If the
bones below the knee are broken,
a splint long enough to reach
above the knee and below the
ankle should be placed on the leg.
Any stiff, object such as rolled
curtain from an automobile, an
umbrella, or a cane, will answer
the purpose. Bind the limb to this
improvised splint, but take care
not to bind it too tightly. Never
assume all responsibility in even
single case. Always send for
doctor. Regardless of how vic
tim may appear after the first-aid
treatment, insist that he be exam
ined by competent physician.
Many cases have to be rushed to
the hospital hours after the acci-
dent with symptoms of fractured
skull or bleeding in the brain or
internal organs. Because these
patients walked or rode home af-
ter the accident, it was supposed
that nothing was wrong with him.
1t is because of such cases that
most hospitals now insist upon ac-
cident cases remaining under OBJ
servation for "a hours; especially
if there has been any head injury
or severe cuts.

SLOT MACHINE
Cash WILL PAY
FOR LAW BOOKS
Money Used by Prosecutor
After Special Fund
Is Refused.

Money confiscated recently In
seizure of fifty slot machines in a
war against the alleged gaming
devices, will be used to purchase
law books for the county pros
ecutor'S office, Prosecutor Jpdson l..
Stark announced today.
Refused a $40 fund by County
Auditor Harry Dunn, to pay for
volumes bought more than a year
ago, Stark today said the money
taken from the machines will be
spent to prevent return Of the books
to the publisher.
Under pretext Of being "prohib-
tied from spending money not spe-
cifcally appropriated" Dunn, this
week, declined to honor voucher
submitted by Stark to pay for the
books,
The act was interpreted generally
in political circles as a retaliation
by Dunn and his political cohorts
against Stark, echoing the recent
grand jury probe conducted by the
prosecutor into alleged destruction
by Dunn of a county court report
ers pay record. The jury exonerat-
ed Dunn.
