Loughran has had a difficult strug- gle up tho comeback trail since his four round knockout by sharkey in September, 1929, and is at the peak of condition for the final hurdle.
 Schaaf is sharkey's protege and Sharkey has promised that he will meet oLughran at New York this summer if the Philadelphian gets past Schaaf tonight.
 Gets Important
 Sharkey's announcement trans formed the Loughran- -Schaaf con- test from an apparently unimpor- tant event into possible semi-final in the New York's commission's s heavyweight tile series. The New York commission previously has suspended Max Schmeling, who was given the title by commission vote, Young Stribling Primo, Camera, Mickey Walker and most of the other ranking contenders and Is on record as ready to recognize the winner of bout between Sharkey and worthy contender as the worlds champion.
 Loughran is confident that he can defeat both Schaaf and Sharkey and become rival champoin to the Stribling-Schmeling survivor.
 "A lucky punch put me out of the race when I met Sharkey," said Loughran. That won't happen again and I'll wind up my career as heavyweight champion.
 After a K. 0.
 Sure, Schaaf was given two de- cisions over me. Personally I don't think he deserved them and I'll prove 1t tonight. I'm in the best condition of my life and intend to win so decisively tonight that a decision won't be needed"
 Betting men have made Loughran a to 5 favorite to defeat Schaaf. Loughran made great showing in licking Max Baer here a few weeks ago and looked fair match for anv heavyweight in the business,
 Ernie's Able
 Schaaf, however, will be a more difficult opponent than Baer. The Rostonian shoots a wicked left hook and is much better boxer than the California youngster. In addition he can take punishment like @ steye- core and has the confidence gained through two previous victories over Loughran.
 Jack Sharkey will be in Schaaf's corner and will direct his protege's 's campaign. Sharkey has no great love for Tommy and will use all of his ring wisdom in an attempt to have his man give Loughran a shell lacking.

DR.. FRANCIS SHORT
SPEAKS AT LAUREL
ROtarians And Guests Hear Address
On Organization And Roads

The annual Farmers Night spon-
sored each year by the Laurel Ro-
tary Club, was held Monday evening
at the community house at Laurel.
Each member of the club invited one
farmer to be his guest for the even
ing. The program was in charge of
George H. Otwell, chairman of the
rural-urban committee.
The principal address was by DR..
Francis Burgett Short. of Milford,
Being a Sussex countian by birth,
DR.. Short paid a tribute to his ma
tive county, stating he had travelled
over the entire nation many times
and that he would raher live here
than any other place in the world.
He also paid tribute to the farmers
by stating that more than so per cent
of those listed in Who's Who were
born in parsonage or on farm.
He said that the reason Sussex
county has not gone ahead as fast as
some other sections of the country
was because every man here is for
himself. DR.. Short compared this
county with some sections in Cali
fornia where the farmers are organ
lied. If the farmers in Sussex coun-
ty would organize properly and then
stick together, he said, in ten years
this would be one of the richest
counties in the United States
Short also paid tribute to r. Cole
man dupont, in speaking about the
progress of the county and State. He
said that the road constructed by
him was the inspiration which led to
the rapid development of the State
since that time.
DR.. Short closed his address with
a few questions regarding prohibi-
tion in which he asked the members
whether they believed conditions
were as bad as they were before pro-
hibition.

CHRISTMAS SEAL IDEA
BORN rs YEARS AGO
Miss Emily Bissell, OF Wilmington,
Started Worthy Work.

1t was 25 years ago that group
of physicians asked the aid of Miss
Emily P. Bissell, of Wilmington, in
raising funds to save a children's
tuberculosis sanatorium they had es-
tablished in the hills near Whining
ton. Their money was exhausted and
they feared the institution might
have to close.
Miss Bissell was Red Cross work
er. Shortly before, she had read of
an unusual experiment in Denmark,
where a Christmas seal was being
sold through the postoffice.
She believed the idea would work
in Delaware, and consulted advertis-
ing experts for advice and sugges-
tions. All prophesied failure. But
she went ahead.
Howard Pyle, celebrated illustra-
tor, designed the seal and Miss Bis
sell herself advanced the money for
printing and distribution. That first
sale of Christmas seals cleared $1,000
for the sanitorium. The following
year they were offered nationally
still against the advice of advertis-
ing men-and netted $150,000.
81 can remember that the national
Red Cross, which that year sold the
seals from Washington, had to put
on 20 extra clerks to cope with the
rush orders" Miss Bissell said.
but the Red Cross is an emer-
gency organization, and must keep
it's personnel free for emergencies.
So when the World War called for
full activity, the Christmas seal was
turned over to the National Tnber-
culosis Association, which has con-
Quoted it ever since"
Miss Bissell now is president of
the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis As
sociation, and still is active in the
sale of seals which she started a
quarter of a century ago. In 1880
more than $50,0O0,000 was realized
from the health stickers and disburs-

WHO is THE OLDEST
MOTHER In DELAWARE ?
A Trip To Washington Is In Store
For Some Old Lady

On Mothers Day. May Sth, 1882,
the George Washington Bi-Centen-
nial Commission, plan to entertain
in the City of Washington as the Ma
tion's Guest, the eldest native-born
American Mother. whose health is
sufficiently sound, so that she may
stand the trip to Washington and the
excitement of the occasion.
The General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs has agreed to help find
this mother. AS Delaware was the
first State to sign the Declaration
of independence, so she may have the
honor of having the eldest Native
born American Mother.
Is there not an elder mother in
Delaware who would like this trip
to Washington and at the same time
honor her State.
Will you please communicate with

GOVERNOR URGES
TO BUY AT HOME
Thinks Such Plan Would
Greatly Aid Business
Situation In State

Governor C.. Douglass Buck has
issued a statement advocating the
keeping of Christmas dollars at
home as a sound employment and
relief measure. If the sums OF mon
ey that leave this State unnecessar-
lily can be reduced, the business re-
vival will be hastened, the Governor
believes.
In appealing to the citizens of
Delaware to spend their Christmas
money in their own communities,
Governor Buck endorsed the pro
gram adopted by The Wilmington
ians, Inc, which represents nearly
$50 business and professional insti-
tutions and individuals of Whining
ton.
The organization adopted the
"buy at home" plan as the central
theme of a $4,000 cooperative ad-
vertising campaign under taken in
that city in April. The campaign not
only urges the people of Whining
ton to give their own business and
professional establishments the first
chance but advocates the same pro-
cedure for the citizens OF other
Delaware communities. While stres-
sing the advantages of Wilmington
as a shopping center for those
things that cannot be obtained as
satisfactory in smaller communities,
it recognizes the principle that
money kept at home helps build any
community, relieves unemployment
and makes business better
"At this time, when thousands of
dollars are moving into new bands,
l am glad to call the attention of
the people of Delaware to the inn
portance of retaining their money in
their own communities. where il
was earned or created" Governor
Buck said. This, 1 am sure, will be
recognized as the soundest sort Of
relief program. Success i'll this plan
will stem the flow of funds outside
the State and will enable our own
business and professional interests
better to take care of our own peo-
pie.
There can be no question that
money retained in the State goes
into channels beneficial to the gem
eral prosperity Of our own citizens;
These funds are nTade available forl
taxes, constructive enterprises, To-
cal improvements and employment. !
| urge the citizens of Delaware to
give their own merchants the first
consideration"

NEWARK AND DELMAR
TIE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Newark Boys Advance To Within
Shadow OF Goal, But Fail 10 Score

The battle for the D. I. A. A. cham
pionship which was played Thanks
giving afternoon at Dover between
Newark High, northern division
champions and Delmar High, south
ern division champs, ended in stale
mate, neither team being able to
score. 1t now appears that CO.
champions will be crowned unless
another game is played between the
two rival schools.
Late in the second period Newark
rushing attack came to life and they
advanced the ball to within shad-
ow of the goal line, but the whistle
ending the first half prevented them
from scoring. This ended their
chances for victory for at no other
time during this hard fought battle
did they have the ball in danger ter
ritory.
1t was titanic struggle with New
ark having the edge on their foes in
every department. They easily out
gained and outpassed them, but could
not come through with the winning
play.

Delmar, eluded the Newark and de-

JAMES MARINE IS
CUNNING VICTIM
Milford Young Man Fa-
tally Shot When He Trips
And Falls While Hunting

James Marine, aged 10 years, was
instantly killed last Friday after
noon when he tripped and fell caus-
ing his gun to explode. Young Ma
rine, in company with Claudell Can
non, of Bridgeville, were near Sea-
ford when the accident occurred. So
far as young Cannon can reconstruct
the accident, Marine was carrying
his gun through a woods when he
slipped and fell, the gun firing as
ne fell. The full load of shot struck
Marine in the back of the head and
ne was instantly killed. A cOro-
uor's inquest brought in a verdict
to the effect that death was acci-
dental. Marine was the grandson
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur E. Dickerson,
of Milford, with whom he made his
home. His mother has been dead
for several years. At one time he
was employed at the Chronicle Of
flee, but for the past two years he
has been employed in a chain store

HOLLY INDUSTRY
OPENS In SUSSEX
Families Start Cutting And Making
Wreaths For Christmas Season

The green-leaved, red-berried hol-
ly means Yuletide cheer and festiv-
ity to the dwellers in the cities. TO
many farmers of South Delaware
who have suffered crop reverses, it
means actual food and clothing.
The farmers and their entire
families will go into the woods this
week to start cutting the holly
which grows wild on their farms.
The thousands of dollars the crop
brings will be clear profit.
The holly is found only along a
5OO-mile stretch of the Atlantic sea-
coast from Delaware to the Caro-
linas, and only for distance of
about SO miles inland. When other
crops fail the farmers of this region
are able to make enough money
from holly to tide them over the
winter.
Forty years ago the farmers and
timber men regarded holly as
nuisance. No steps were taken to
preserve it, and residents who own
ed cattel actually destroyed large
tracts of it.
But it's different now. Farmers
