The politicians will find little solace
In the annual report of the Secretary
Of Agriculture, which reached Con-
gress today. This cabinet officer has
frankly discussed the law of supply
and demand and the folly of political
quackery. Secretary Hyde insists that
agriculture must put its house in order
or take the consequence. This is clear
from his statement, agriculture, if it
is to be profitable, must be adjusted ts
long time trends; mistaken diagnosis
lead to mistaken policies, public and
private The prescription offered by
Hyde is apparently sound for he sug-
gests only "a policy of constructive adj
justment to a radically changing mar
ket situation" He means producing for
"a real as distinguished from an illus
ory market" or in other words, wait
ing in vain for foreign markets to come
to life. Quite correctly, Secretary Hyde
points out the disappointment due to
those expecting help through legisla-
ton "Lawnaking could not keep pace, "
Hyde reports, with market develop
ments at home and abroad

will not take prohibition out of the
presidential campaign of 1882.
Regardless of resubmission the
vets will endeavOr to control both
nominating conventions. Drys will
not vote for wet president; vets
will not vote for a dry president.
Congressman voting for resubmis-
sion will find their support divided
on a wet and dry basis. Both sides
need support divided on a wet and
dry basis. Both sides need support
in the next Congress and thus a til
mid politician gains nothing by COM
promise.
4. There is nothing in the con-
tention that resubmission resolu-
tiOn will settle the prohibition mat
ter politically. Such a resolution
will start universal agitation and
prohibition will be as much alive in
politics as if resubmission had never
been thought Of
S. The sure way to take prohibi-
ton out of politics in 1882 is for
both parties to uphold the cOnstitu-

sive team is apparent from the fact
that while the Blue and Gold scored
III points on their opponents, but
25 points was scored against them.
Navy, Rutgers and p M. c. are the
only teams that crossed the Delaware
goal line during the season. Della
ware also holds the record among
the smaller colleges in the number
of points scored against them. No
other team either among the small
err colleges or the large colleges and
universities of the East held their
opponents to as few as 25 points
during the entire season.
The team is made up largely of
Freshmen, Sophmores and Juniors
so the Blue and Gold is practically
assured of strong teams for at least
two more years. Coaches Charlie
Rogers and Gus" zeigler deserve
much credit for the fine showing of
the team.
There will be no game for the un-
employment fund as had been plan
ned because Delaware has been un-
able to secure an opponent for such
a game. However, in view of this
fact Delaware it is understood will
give their share of the Delaware
Haverford game of last Saturday to
the unemployment fund.
Immediately after the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday Coach Doherty will start
basketball practice and Coach Bardo
will begin swimming practice. The
prospects are good for strong teams
in both of these sports.

COURT REVERSES
REGISTERS ACTION
[Continurd from Fvss Pagc]


Deputy (nee Lena H. HalD, one of
the heirs of the deceased, Sallie A.
Simpson, because of item five of the
Simpson will having a pencil line
run through it without entirely OBJ
literating the typewriter line, the
line being as follows:
Il give, devise and bequeath unto
Lena E. Hall, the house and lot on
Weiner Ave, where | now reside"
The will as made by Mrs. Simp-
son on February IS, 1918, contained
item five with other items bequeath-
ing certain other property and mon
ey to other relatives.
In the spring of 1928, Mrs. Simp-
son asked for her will from the
bank vault in Harrington where it
was kept, stating that she thought
of changing her will. The will was
given her and after two or three
days, it was again returned to the
bank and remained there unopened
until after her death in the fall of
1928.
When the will was offered for
probate it was noticed that item five
had had line drawn through it
with a pencil mark. This caused the
filing of caveat to the will and
contest followed. The register of
wills probated the will as presented
to him, allowing item five to remain
as if it had not been marked
through.
The decision of the court Teverses
the action of the register of wills by
upholding the line as out of the will
entirely.

Senate, lis the allowing of its mem
bers to have public opinion rule

where their conscience tells them
not to go. Men follow the wishes of

told of the activities of the so-called
"reactionary' Republicans, from the

who usually vote with the Demo-
Gratis? | have no patience with many

The Senators won't admit it public
ly, but it is a fact. These men feel
that they remain popular at home.
They frequently do what they con-
slider is the popular thing regardless
of the dictates of their judgment"
Needs Unusual Type
Senator Hastings said that it took /,
an unusual type of a man to dis
obey the desires of his constituency. |
He pointed out that many famous |
men have been retired from the
legislative life of the nation simply
because they cid what their con-
science told them was right and re-
fused to obey the dictates of the .
mass. Senator Hastings hoped that .
the time would come when men in .
Congress would be able to stand .
against every whim of the majority .
if they felt that the majority was
wrong and take their chances on re-
election.
In the course of his address, SEN
ator Hastings gave his audience
comprehensive view of the work
ings of the Senate. He referred to
some of the colorful episodes invol-
wing famous characters of the Sen
ate, particularly the former Senator
Heflin, of Alabama, and Senator
Bruce, of Maryland as well as to
the late Senator Caraway. He char
acterized Hefin as one of the most
characters and story-tellers
in the Senate, and one of the most
dangerous men in the world to get
into an argument with on the floor
Of the Senate. Senator Hastings al
so referred briefly to Senators Nor
ris, LaFollette, and Borah, progress
'ive Republicans, condoning them
or their attitude in the Senate by
saying that they were merely re-
lecting the opinions and desires of I
heir constituencies.

When one considers the tremen-

its colors, patterns, and weaves
change with the current fashion.
Beautiful solid colors or two-tone
weaves, period designs, modernistic
effects or conventional patterns
may all be had in mohair velvet.
Sometimes the pile is cut to form
the pattern, the remaining pile be-
ing stamped with a floral or other
design. In other places the pattern
is formed by cutting certain Of the
loops and the fabric is then called
frieZe. If the uncut portion pre-

j. 6. LEADER IN
MOHA|R INDUSTRY
First Goats Brought Here
in '49; 100000 Lbs.
Clipped Yearly.

CTYLES may come and styles
~ may go, but in furniture as in
everything else, but one kind of up
holstery - mohair velvet - remains
in constant popularity ever since
the invention Of power machinery
put it within the reach of everyday
folks, and not just of kings and
mobiles, as in previous centuries.
The demand for furniture COW
cred with fabric made from the
fleece of the angora goat has in
creased steadily until now the
United States leads the world in
angOra goat raising and consequent
ly in the production of mOhair ma
terials.
It's great durability is undoubted-
ly the chief reason why mohair vel
vet is an upholstery perennial. Not
even the beauty and luster of its
soft texture would suffice to win
the housewives repeated approval
II mohair velvet, or velmo as it is
often called. did not surpass all
other materials in wearing quality.
This is partly because the mohair
itself is the longest wearing animal
fiber known and partly because it is
pile fabric, with the wear COM
Ing on the ends of the fiber instead
Of along the sides. As high as
10000 of these sturdy fibers are
found to the square inch of mohair
velvet.
Some knowledge of the physical
structure and chemical compost
ton of the mohair fiber is neces-
sary to understand why it makes
superior upholstering fabric. Seen
1nder a microscope the mohair
iber is smooth and shiny, with
fewer scales or serrations than on
the wool fiber. This means that it
does not attract dirt so quickly, that
dust tends to slide off the smooth
hairs and that actual dirt is easily
removed with a swift brushing
With soap and water if necessary,
without affecting the color.
Then, too, mohair takes a fast
acid dye, so that the effects of sun
and strong light need not be feared.
Like all animal fibers, mohair is
aormally attractive to the pestifer-
pus house moth, but now science
has perfected a means Of effectu-
