NEW YORK, Dec. "a UN.S).
The coarse yarn cloths market
was generally inactive today. with
spasmodic. flurrieS of strength in

or less imperative for buyers to
exercise care in ordering goods
combined to increase the lethargy
of an already dull market

SIR HUBERT WILKINS GUEST
OF DRS. G. L. AND f. L. GRIER
Visits the Big Caulk Dental Plant

or-Lady Wilkins With Him

1t was generous gesture of
gratitude that inspired a visit to
Milford on Tuesday, April 7th, of
Sir Hubert Wilkins who heads a
daring group of underseas crusad-
ers who will attempt to go across
the North Pole in submarine this
summer Sir Hubert's visit to
Milford was made primarily to
thank DR.. G. Layton Grier, Presi-
dent of The L. D. Caulk Company,
for the dental check-up made in
the CauIk Dental Clinic of every
member of the Wilkins-Ellsworth
Expedition. Lady Wilkins accom-
panied her distinguished husband,
and both were entertained at DR..
Grier's home where they stayed
over night. DR.. Grier gave din
ner to Sir Hubert and Lady Will
kins, Tuesday evening at which he
was assisted by his daughter, Ann.
The guests were DR.. and Mrs. Wal
Nelson and Mr.. Theodore E. Ash.
An informal reception was held
later in the evening which was
largely attended. Sir Hubert and
Lady Wilkins left New York early
Tuesday morning and were met at
Wilmington by DR.. Walter Grier
who motored them to his home at
Milford where the famous explorer
and his wife were entertained at
luncheon. This was Sir Hubert's
second visit to Milford He was
there a month ago and made a
very favorable impression, particu-
larly among the High School stu
dents before whom he delivered
forceful and Informative talk of his
fifteen years of polar exploration
for which he was knighted by the
King Sir Hubert is an Australian
as too is his wife, Lady wilkins.
Lady Wilkins has had an interest
ing and colorful career. She has
travelled all over the world, and
has made numerous airplane
flights. At DR. Grier's dinner
party she bantered with Sir HUI
bert on the relative courage of
men versus women. She said her
thrilling trip on the Graf Zeppelin
qualified her for the forthcoming
expedition under the North Pole in
the submarine Nautilus, but as yet

ever, go on the Nautilus from Lon

is quite talented. She has a beau
tiful voice, and has appeared in
important singing roles in out
standing musical productions both
abroad and in America. She has
also played the leading roles in
several dramas. And like Sir HUI
bert, she is a clever writer, and has
made many contributions to the
leading magazines and newspapers.
Milford has seldom had the privil-
ege of entertaining two such fas-
cinating personalities. Sir Hubert
and Lady Wilkins returned to New
