GETS JOB IN WASHINGTON
Howard J.CowgiII, Wilmington, APP
pointed u. s. Deputy Marshal

Score one for Senator Daniel o.
Hastings of Delaware. In the face
Of the depression, and despite the
great pressure on governmental de-
partments and agencies to give
jobs to Congressmen's friends, the
Delaware Senator has landed a job
for fellow Republican of his
State. Howard j. Cowgirl of Will
mington, at the instance of Hast
ings, has been appointed a U. S.
deputy marshal for the District of
Columbia. The Senator prevailed
upon Edgar c. Snyder, marshal for
the district to find place for Cow
gill. Every Senator and House
member is overrun with applica-
tions from constituents for Govern
ment jobs. 1t is rare however that
jobs are landed. Mr.. Cowgirl, ac-
tive in American Legion affairs,
has been a member of the drum
and bugle corps of the Wilmington
Legionaires.

Ancient Dwelling Bears Within Its
Walls Cannon Ball Fired by British

Ancient "Hinchingham Manor"
one of the show places of the East
ern Shore of Maryland, has been
purchased by Mrs. Lamont DUPONT,
of Wilmington, from the Colonial
Trust Company of Baltimore. Once
the manor stretched the entire
length Of the Chesapeake Bay
coast from COLCHESTER to Rock Hall
but, within the last quarter cen
fury, has been cut up into smaller
farms. The original buckingham
farm near Colchester has been left
intact, however. The old dwelling
still bears within its brick walls
cannon balls fired by the British
fleet Of Sir Peter Parker in 1912
when his ships Of the line attacked
the Eastern Shore at COLCHESTER
and Caulks field as a part of the
campaign against Baltimore. The
walls are several feet thick in
places and the residence will, it has
been reported, be restored by it's
new owner, who prior to her recent
marriage was Mrs. Carolene Hyn-
son Stollenwerck, of Baltimore and
Chestertown. With the residence
went 21O acres of land, all report
ed to have been purchased for $685.
600. Mrs. DUPONT will transform
the property into waterfront
country home. She has purchased
also 80 acres of woodland from G.
Ellsworth Leary, Of Rock Hall.

SAFETY COUNCIL AIDS IN
PREVENTION Of ACCIDENTS
HURRY TO GET AHEAD MAIN
CAUSE OF ALL ACCIDENTS
Comparison Made Between Loco
motive Engineer and Driver of
An Automobile

The almost fanatical desire to
defeat the other fellow, the furious
hurry to get ahead, the lack of re-
spect for others are, according to
the Delaware Safety Council, the
sort of things which make the
roads unsafe today. Draw a par
allel between the locomotive en-
gineer, who is a skilled operator,
whose train on rails is always I'M
der the protection of an elaborate
system of signals, and the driver
of an automobile who has neither
the supervision of the block system
nor the limitation of rails Today
the automobile is highly perfect
ed machine and in the hands of an
incompetent or criminally-minded
individual is an engine of destruc-
ton. The driver must learn that
he is the engineer of a dangerous
machine and that he must pay for
h is mistakes in judgment or care
lessness just as much as the loco
motive engineer. We say to the
engineer, you must be an expert,
and you must have long training
before we will allow you to drive
a locomotive through the country"
But without any safeguards or
preliminary training and after a
most cursory examination we put
into the hands of any moran or
criminal, with a few dollars for a
fee, an engine of potential murder
to be driven over the countryside
at will with not even the hindrance
Of rails to keep him in restricted
area. Ten states including Della
ware have in effect the Drivers Lii
cense Law. Under this law every
driver of a vehicle must pass
stringent tests as to his ability,
knowledge of the car and the We
hicle laws of his respective state.
Fatalities in these states have de-
creased Is percent. Automobiles
have been made safer to operate
from the mechanical standpoint
and several billions of dollars have
been expended to improve the
roads to provide maximum of
safety from that standpoint, so
automobile driving has almost mar
rowed down to the point where the
human element is the greatest fac
tor in the campaign to prevent ac-
cidents and save lives. Drivers of
automobiles, if they want to pro-
tect their own and the lives of
others and minimize the tremend-
Gus property losses, must guard
against three things: speed, driving
on the wrong side of the road and
the failure to grant right of way
to others. The last is one of the
most common causes of accidents.

Canada now has four rates - a
sort OF sliding scale-on goods en-
tering her territory: British prefer
entail, most-favored nation, inter-
mediate, and general, which last
applies to us. This is translated to
mean Canada first, empire second,
friendly trading powers third and
America last
Liberal Canadians are somewhat
skeptical of the Bennett policy.
They say he is counting the same
danger that now menaces American
foreign trade.

FOCUSING Of public opinion upon
4 the haphazard manner in which
bills are rushed through on the final
day Of the legislative session has re-
suited from the many errors dis
covered in the unpublished new
acts.
Among mistakes noted are i'm
proper passage Of House Bill 6, flaws
in the congressional reapportion-
ment act, and confusing amend
ment to the primary law, permit
ting a candidate to withdraw thirty
days before the primary, while an
other section of the act permits
candidates to file declarations up to
twenty days before the primary.
u II q
Error also was discovered in the
act directing townships to advertise
for bids for school bus service be-
ginning July l, 1881, for a three
year period and in 1885 for four
year period, thus leaving 1884 with
out any school bus service.
The boxing commission bill pro-
vided for three-minute wrestling
rounds. Another bill seeking to
amend an existing law to permit
municipal waterworks to issue re-
venue bonds for extensions and
betterments was found to have
amended the wrong act.
This catalog Of errors could be
continued indefinitely and it is d.
rectly attributable to the rush with
which bills are ground out in the
last few days Of the session.
Such action occurs despite the
prohibitory injunction in Section IA
of Article 5 Of the state Constitu-
ton which expressly declares, mo
bill shall be presented to the Cover
nor, within two days next previous
to the final adjournment of the
general assembly,
Il
Disguised with this last minute
jam and the slipshod manner in
which legislation is enacted, mem
bers of both houses are suggesting
the 1888 legislature adopt several
rules to prevent a repetition Of what
occurred this year.
One such rule would prohibit the
third reading of bills on the last
day Of the session and reserve it for
conference committee reports, care
full examination for errors and COR
rection of mistakes and adjourn
ment with knowledge that all loop
holes have been closed.
Importance Of such rule can not
be overestimated and it is to result
in the safeguarding of the public
interests, if observed.
But of course, with the types of
legislators with which the state has
been blessed. such care is farthest
from consideration.

HOPE IS SEEN
/. FOR CURING OF
ATHLETE FOOT
RingWorm Organism May
Be Conquered by New
Type of Vaccine.
~ Science serrice

~ Science serrtce
PHILADELPHIA, June 1l.-Pos-
sibility that a cure may be found
for the widespread condition known
popularity as athletes foot was in
dicated in studies reported by DR..
Marion B. Sulzberger and DR.. Fred
Wise of New York City at the meet
ing here today Of the American
Medical Association.
Athletes foot, or ringworm of the
foot, is due to infection with the
ringworm organism, which is a
fungus. Both the number and
severity Of cases are increasing to
an alarming extent.
Besides the original condition of
the foot, secondary skin eruptions
may develop. These secondary erup-
tons are believed to be caused by
a special sensitiveness to the ring
worm organism which is distributed
through the blood stream.
May Be Similar to Hay Fever
The secondary eruptions are
called dermatophytids, while the
primary foci Of infection are known
medically as dermatophyt lses. The
dermatophytids, curiously enough,
do not contain the actual organisms
causing the trouble.
Other organs besides the skin can
become sensitive. Sulzberger be-
lieves this sensitiveness to fungi may
be the, cause of otherwise inexpli-.
cable cases of hay fever and asthma.
Sulzherger and Wise attempted to-
desensitize number Of patients by
injections Of trichophytin, a vaccine
made from the fungus that causes
the disease, the tricllophyton.
Of eighteen patients treated, fif-
teen were either wholly or partially
desensitized and ten seemed bene-
flied by the treatment, showing
either freedom from the trouble for
a relatively long time, marked i'm
provement or apparent cure.
General use of the method is not
justified from the results in this
small number of cases, but the
study gives rise to the hope that
this annoying condition may be
controlled.
Sensitive to Other Substances
At the same session, four cases
in which persons who had ring
worm in their feet or elsewhere and
developed sensitiveness to other sub
stances as a result of the sensitive
condition of their skin were de-
scribed by DR.. Cleveland White and
DR.. Samuel j. Taub Of Chicago.
Cottonseed Oil, buckwheat, oat-
meal and silk were found to be the
offending substances respectively in
each Of four young women who.
consulted these physicians for skin
eruptions. Three of them elinli-
mated the offending foods from their
diet and the fourth stopped wear
ing silk, whereupon they all recov-
cred.
A strange feature of the cases was
that none Of the patients had. had
any such disturbance before they
acquired the ringworm infection.
From this fact, the physicians
concluded that in some people who
have fungus infections the skin is
so altered that it becomes sensitive
to certain foods or external irri-
tants.
