ALLIED FORCES
WILL BATTLE TO
REFLECT HOOVER
Vote President Support
Despite His Stand For
Prohibition Change
AGAINST REPEAL
Will Wage Fight To Elect
Legislators Favorable
To 18th Amendment

The Allied Forces. a prOhibitiOnist
organization, announced on Sunday
DR.. Daniel A. Polling, chairman, that
It has decided to support President
Hoover for reelection.
In a poll of national executive
committeeman and outstanding sup
pOrters of the Allied Forces, DR..
Pailing said, 1877 out of 205 voted to
support Mr.. Hoover after his state
ment of his position on prohibition
in accepting the Republican presi-
dental nomination Thursday night.
DR.. Poling's statement said:
Following the acceptance speech
of President Herbert Hoover, the
executive committee of the Allied
Forces voted to support Mr.. Hoover's
candidacy. This action was taken
without prejudice to the fundamental
position of the Allied Forces with re-
gard to the Eighteenth Amendment
and its supporting legislation.
UnalteTably Against Repeal
"The Allied Forces are against re-
peal
'The Allied Forces are against any
weakening of enforcement laws.
"The Allied Forces do not endorse
any proposal for modification. Spe-
cifically we re-affrm our former
statement: as to the Republican
plank, we reject the Iesubmission
program Should any amendment to
the Constitution be considered, we
are opposed to the state convention
plan of ratification as untried and
without safeguard against misrepre-
sentation and corruption. Also, we
oppose any interference with the
initiative, and the responsibility of
Congress in the matter of amend
ments to the constitution.
"Our endorsement of President
Hoover is based upon the belief that,
IN contrast with Governor Roosevelt, /
his election will safeguard the gains
made under prohibition, will move
towards the elimination of existing
evils resulting from non-observance
and non-enforcement in some com
munities, will prevent naked repeal

Announces Candidacy For
Republican Nomination
For Lower House
NOW SERVING AS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Is Expected To Be Back
ed By Better Govern
ment League

Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr., Attor-
ney General of Delaware, will be
candidate on the Republican ticket
| for Representative from Delaware in
the United States Congress, at the
party's State Convention next Sep
ember, it was announced on Monday.
When asked at his law Offices in
the dupont Building in Wilmington
about the matter, Mr.. Satterthwaite
said that he had made his final de-
cision to run for Congressman only
that day, although he had consid-
cred it for some time.
Robert G. Houston, of Georgetown,
present incumbent, announced some
time ago he would stand for renomi-
nation at the Republican State Con-
vention. The entrance of Mr.. Sat
terthwaite into the lists for Con-
gressman is expected to develop an
interesting contest at the conven-
tion, Wednesday, September IA, at
Dover. Thus far they are the only
two Republicans who have announc-
ed their candidacy for the Congress
sional nomination of their party.
Friends of Attorney General Sat
terthwaite expressed the belief that
the Better Government League of
Delaware probably will support his
candidacy.
Mr.. Satterthwaite, who had been
practising law in Delaware since his
admission to the bar of New Castle
county in 1902, was we'll known be-
Generalship four years ago. His rec
ord as attorney general, it is held by
his friends, has gained him the re-
spect of all with whom he has come
into contact. They say his prestige
has extended outside of the State,
particularly in his handling of Della
wares case in the revived Delaware
New Jersey boundary dispute.

PLAN FOR OPENING
OF MILFORD SCHOOLS
Office OF Superintendent Open Each
Day To Take Care OF Details

Robert E. Shilling returned from
New York where he has been for six
weeks attending a special course at
the University of New York, last Fri
day evening, and is just one of the
very much occupied persons in this
section of the state since then. The
work of arranging for the assign
ments of teachers, making out the
schedules for periods in teaching in
all three of the public schools, su-
pervising the cleaning, preparation
of each room to be used by the sew
eraI classes and the grades, as well
as the high and junior school work,
absorbs about all hours in every
day.
During the vacation repairs were
made to such buildings as needed
to be made, obsolete materials, old
books and things used up in service,
has to be discarded each summer
before the schools reopen in the
fall The number of pupils for the
several grades and classes must be
assigned and such other work as is
possible, has to be made by the su-
perintendent and his assistants.
All of this work should be done
before the Special School Districts
reopen in the fall, or September 9Th.
It applies to all such districts the
same as for Milford; so it is really
curtailing the vacation of super
to have everything in or
der.

Dear Sir:-The present apathy i'll
our political administration is a
clear call to our business men to
lend a hand and assume some of
the responsibility of government for
all the people.
1t was that superb Democrat, Gro
yer Cleveland that said-"it is a
condition and not theory that con-
fronts us" and there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that our present para
doxical plight was caused chiefly by
too much theory and not enough
constructive common sense.
Too many "yes men," too "many
plans" and Specification, when
what was most necessary and vital
was a workable plan. If the voters
once get the habit of voting for the
man rather than just an idea we
will have turned the corner towards
our political freedom.
It is this unwillingness of our
successful business men to assume
the responsibility of managing our
State government, together with the
insistent demand of my friends that
prompts me to announce myself a

Safety Council Explains Propet
Methods For Driving On Highways
Six Cardinal PrincipJeS Are Enumerated TO Aid The
DriUer Of Motor Cars. Explains That Application
Of These Rules VIII Reduce Number Of Accidents.

According to the Delaware Safety
Council, there are but six cardinal
principles to guide the motor car
driver. Most people who learn to
drive car properly are guided un-
consciously by the set rules.
Very few, however, have ever TAX
en- the trouble to analyze the situa-
tion and accurately segregate for
themselves these six rules of motor
operation.
If citing these rules causes you to
argue the point and to attempt to de-
termine other fundamental princi-
pies, then they will have served a
good purpose.
1. Keep your attention concen-
trated on driving.
A driver should know what's hap
pening about him. Keep in mind
that trouble can happen on either
side of your car, as well as in front

Delaware National Guard, creeping
along at IL to IA miles per hour,
and with hundreds of cantaloupe
and watermelon trucks speeding to
northern markets. motoring along
the du Pont Highway was anything
but a pleasure Friday of last week.
While there were no serious traf-
fic complications, motorists were
forced to drive slowly in back of
the army trucks, causing a long
queue of cars to form every few
miles. However, the spacing of the
55 army trucks, each 100 feet apart,
and the requirement that they pull
entirely off the road when the con-
voy stopped, enabled nOrthbound
traffic to "step" up through the con-
voy by degrees.

last Thursday morning destroyed
the home and outbuildings on the
farm of Joseph Librizzi, near Rob

to assist or the Georgetown firemen
could arrive at the scene. The loss
will reach many hundreds of dollars
with only about 5000 insurance. All
of the household goods were burned.
Librizzi was asleep at the time and
barely managed to get from the
building before a portion of it fell
in.
It is said there was no fire in the
house, and had been none during
the day. Librizzi spent most of the
afternoon and early evening in

2. Follow as straight a course as
possible.
Pass no car or object and make no
turn without giving all of the cars
near you clear signals of your in
tention. Don't pull Out from park
ed position into the road without
making sure that no car is approach
ing dangerously close from your
rear.
Have a clear vision on all four
sides. Don't pass other cars near
the crest of grade or on curves,
for you have no way of telling what
is just over the hill or just around
the corner.
See to it that you leave a safe
braking distance between yourself
and the car ahead.

NEGRO TEAM PLAYS
CRYSTAL FOUNT LODGE
Bacharach Giants Will Be At Mil
ford Tomorrow Afternoon

The Crystal Fount management
has been very fortunate in securing
one of the best and most famous
independent ball clubs in the coun-
try, the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic
City, for tomorrow, Saturday. This
club, started by Mayor Bacharach, is
one of the oldest of the colored
teams. Always one of the best it
has been strengthened recently.
When the Hilldale club of Baltimore
broke up, the Giants signed Nip
Winters, Phil Cockriff and Daily
Cooper, the three leading pitchers.
They also got Lackey, the famous
shortstop, and, ballard, the heavy
hitting first baseman. Other stars
are Virgins, one of the greatest of
colored hitters, and Otto Briggs, the
oldest colored player in the game.
This team has played and defeated
major league teams. They travel all
over the east playing the leading
semi-pro teams and frequently play
ing exhibition games with organ
lied baseball teams. In these games
they have proved one of the best
drawing cards outside of the major
leagues.
The Crystal Fount club is not
playing this game as just an attrac-
ton. They are out to win. Cy
the new pitcher, has beaten
the Phillies and the Bushwicks this
season, and George Winters, Jr., who
will report this week, defeated the
Giants earlier in the sea-
son 6 to 2. With the other strength
added in the past few weeks, Crys-
tai Fount should have a good chance
to win from the Atlantic City club.
The game starts at p. m.

MAY CALLPARLEY.
ON RIVER BRIDGE
Possibility Of Getting
Federal Funds May Cause
Action At This Time

With engineers of the State High
way Department collecting data on
the cost of constructing a proposed
bridge across the Delaware River
near Wilmington, it is rumored in
Dover that Governor Buck is con-
templating calling a conference
with officials of New Jersey to con-
slider the advisability of going
ahead with its construction.
1t was pointed out that under the
provisions of the Federal relief plan
1864, 100000 is allocated for self-li-
quidating public works. The propos-
ed bridge could come under that
provision to finance the project on
behalf of both states.
1t is generally thought that mon
ey furnished by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for such pur-
poses eventually may be cancelled
and debts due the Federal govern
ment. If such be the case. the ex-
pense to the State of Delaware
would be only the maintenance
cost of the bridge and this obliga-
tion could be met from the toll
charges.
Such proposed bridge would op-
en- to the upper part of the State of
Delaware many avenues of trade
heretofore untouched in southern
New Jersey and bring through Del
aware thousands of motor vehicles
on their way to cities in upper New
Jersey and New York and New -Jer-
sey resorts and likewise be advan-
tageous to many motorists who go
touring in New York and New Eng
land states as they would have the
of the new traffic artery
from Penn's Grove to North Jersey
and New York.

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM

Among the numerous commissions,
boards, committees and other advisory
bodies created during the present depres-
sion with view to devising means for
economic betterment, none has more dis
tinguished personnel than the committee
recently selected to study and make recon-
mendations respecting the plight of the
| country's railroads.
This committee is an unofficial body,
formed on the initiative of Important saw
ings banks and insurance companies, whose
holdings of railroad securities makes the
soundness of these securities vital to the in
,terests Of their depositors and policyhold-
ers. The committee is composed of former
President Calvin Coolidge, chairman; Al
fred E, Smith, former governor of New
York; Bernard M. Baruch, eminent finan-
cief; Alexander Legge, former chairman of
the Federal Farm Board, and Clark Howell,
publisher Of. the Atlanta Constitution.
In letter requesting these notable
citizens to undertake the difficult task as
signed them, the bankers and Insurance
companies said in part:
"The present position of the railroads
is matter of grave concern. This situa-
ton touches every citizen. We beg that
you examine all phases of the problem and
recommend solution which, with due re-
gard for the public interest, will insure an
opportunity for the railroads of this coun-
try to operate on a business basis"
Every thoughtful citizen must realize
that the preservation of our Incompatible
railroad facilities is matter of vital i'm
portance, not only to the many thousands
of small railway stockholders, but to other
thousands of railway employees, and to
millions of bank depositors and insurance
policyholders whose welfare is dependent
upon the stability of our rail system.
The findings and recommendations of
the Coolidge committee will therefore be
awaited with unusual interest on the part
Of the public.

POLL DEVELOPMENTS

In the newspaper polls of the past
week, the trend to Roosevelt seems to have
been unusually strong, which points to a
belief that the Roosevelt candidacy will not
only sweep the country, but will carry with
it a great many local candidates..
The Hearst newspaper polls, which
might have been suspected of Roosevelt
leaning, have not only been corroborated
by the poll of the Literary Digest as far as
it has been published, but the Digest poll
seems to be stronger for Roosevelt.
In this the Digest poll agrees with the
poll of the Cincinnati Inquirer and other
newspapers, which have shown greater
Roosevelt strength than the Hearst polls
have shown.
The Hearst polls in New York have
given President Hoover continual lead
over Roosevelt, but the Digest poll gives a
substantial lead to Roosevelt and indicates
that he will carry his own state.
1t is just possible that some of the
newspaper polls have been manipulated to
show a close battle where the battle is not
really close at all.
Newspaper support has been known
to have been placed on the market and adj
vertising managers have been known to re-
sort to all kinds of expedients to boom
business.

WAITING 70 BE SHOWN

Some scientific words emanating from
the lips of scientific man convey the
thought that mans old religions are pass
ing, but are still reacting upon his environ
ment.. dangerously and inevitably; that
sentimental and emotional factors make
for race degeneration which means that if
the race is to improve. young men and
women must be taught to pick their life
partners according to eugenic laws.
Some old-fashioned persons believe,
however. that one of the things that Is
wrong with the world is the fact that the
old religions are passing. Possibly the old
religions did not fit But who will believe
that the old religions have caused the ills
OF the world?
Similar reasoning applies to the
theory that love is not the proper basis for
the choice of lifetime partner. What bet
