|PEIPINC BANS
 BILL-BOARDS

Peiping.-(UP)-M ofii- cials here have ruled against bili- boards, which were defacing palace walls and temple gates. Bureau chiefs, after a conference, decided that all billboards must go, except inconspicuous bulletin-boards in front of police stations.
 The decision affects not only dis play advertisements but Nationalist party slogans which were so con- spicuous in 1928 after the Kuomin- tang occupied Peiping. At that time zealous party propagandists painted pictures of revolutionary heroes and quotations from their works on the gates and walls of the former imperial city and temples.
 Time and weather have almost erased these slogans. To-day the characters are hardly legible, the pictures unrecognizable. The muni- cipality has decided that they will not be renewed.
 Chinese and foreign residents of Peiping generally rejoice that such bill-boards will not be permitted on palace walls. Cigaret advertise ments ydefaced many temples, and motion-picture theaters tried to utilize palace walls.
 The municipality also has decid- ed that peddlers may no longer spread their wares on public side walks, and that beggars must go.

Stockholm, (UP).-Sweden, too, has it's liquor problem, in spit of the laws which restrict the sale of spirits. Thus the Swedish customs service have confiscated 867 gallons smuggled into the country during the first half of this year. During the same time eight trucks have been taken and 140 people ques- toned. This means a decrease, how ever, as compared to the first six months of last year, when 2,827 gallons were confiscated and 155 suspects examined.

LAD DEVELOPS

BY GEORGE D. GROSSLY United Press Staff Correspondent

Phoenix, Arizona - GUP) - A freckle-fac lad of IS, who laid down his school books last year and jumped into uniform, has developed into one of the leading home run hltters of or ganized baseball.
 The boy, Walter Carson, right fielder for the Globe. Ariz. Bears. hammered out 27 home runs dur ing the first half of the 1891 sea son and started the second half fin the same fashion - scoring three more homers in the first two series.
 Batting 325. Carson rapidly be- came one of the leading finds for the league. In addition to his hitting ability, he is classed as one of the best fielders In the south west.
 A peculiar circumstance of Car sons career is that he never played baseball until his second wear in high school when he bare jy made the Long Beach, Califor- mia, team as pitcher.
 Misfit as Pitcher
 "I was out of place as a pitcher. and wasn't considered very good, Carson told the United Press.
 After graduating from hiGh school Carson decided playing ball was fun and tried out with the san Francisco Seals of the Pa cific Coast League. He showed no particular promise as a hitter. but the Seals liked his fielding anu sent him to Globe for seasoning under George H. "Mickcy" Shader. grizzled diamond veteran ,-
 Carson started hitting instantiy under Shader's coaching ana hasn't stopped. He has hit all kinds of pitching and, according to shader. is improving constantly

Nearly all the large eastern mar

PARENT-TEACHER
ASSOCIATIONS

The Delaware Parent-Teacher As
sociatiOn, in 1927 and 1880, was
awarded a banner by the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers
for having made the greatest per-
centage of increase in membership
in proportion to the population. This
banner, won by Colorado in 1928 and
by Hawaii in 1929, will become the
property of the Delaware branch if
won a third time.
The National Congress of Parents
and Teachers has set it's goal this
year at 100000 members, of which
Delawares quota is 13,02S. A cam
paign for increase in membership
is urged by Mrs. Robert e. Lewis of
Dover, State chairman of member
ship, not for the sake of winning a
banner primarily, but because a large
membership indicates interest in
child welfare, with parents and
teachers working together for the
benefit of all children. Mrs. Lewis
is ready to assist local membership
chairman in planning their cam
paigns. State dues must be in the
hands of the State Treasurer, Mrs. J.
M. Cleary, 251S Jefferson street, Will
mington, by March 18th, so that she
can report to the national treasurer.
Clayton and Lincoln Parent
Teacher Associations are tied for
first place in the membership race
with 1876 enrolled in each associa-
ton. Dover holds third place with
116. Oak Grove (Elsmere) ranks
fourth with 105. Ellendale with AZ
still holds first place among colored
associations.

pated in a spelling match. During
the social hour ice cream was sold
for the benefit of the school.
After a discussion of the ncces-
sity for training children to adapt
themselves to changing conditions at
the meeting of the Milford ColOred
