STATE FOREST OF
5000 ACRES URGED
Mrs. III. B. Thompson Advo-
Gates Project as Playground
for Public in Sussex County
GAME PROTECTION AID

Creation of a State forest of "at
least 5000 acres" in Sussex county,
to be a permanent exhibit of profit
able timber-gorwing as well as a
playground for the public, was ad-
vocated by Mrs. Henry B. Thomp-
son at a meeting at her home at
Rehoboth which were invited so
men and women interested in for
est preservation. Principal speak
er was H. N. Wheeler, of Washing
ton, chief lecturer of the u. S. For
est Service, who illustrated with
colored slides both the evil of neg
lecting the forests and the benefit
derived from scientific care of
them. Other speakers were Will
liam S. Taber, Delaware State for
ester, and DR.. P. w. Tomlinson of
Rehoboth, Colonel w. S. Corkran
was chairman. IF Sussex county
led the way by establishing a State
forest" Mrs. Thmpson declared,
"the other counties would follow
suit. What must be done is to
demonstrate how profitable forests
can be made with the proper care.
The State Forestry Department is
doing wonderful work in helping
landowners to reforest idle ground
and in fighting fire. Mr. Taber
and his men deserve great praise
for this, but the public must go
still further. A State forest of at
least 5000 acres in Sussex, scientif-
ically tended, stocked with game,
would go a long way toward dem
onstrating the value and beauty of
our woods" Mrs. Thompson said
she did not think it was widely
enough known that land planted in
trees under direction of the State
forester was exempt by law from
taxation in Delaware. If this fact
were better realized, she said, re-
forestation in the State would
make greater headway. Mr. Wheel
er explained how the operation of
national forests was made a self
supporting business by the Y. S.
Forest Service. In the same way,
he said, a State forest can support
itself eventually through the sale
Of the natural increase of timber.
Seen Only Safeguard
II think that Delaware must
come to it before long, as SO many
other States have. It has been
found that public ownership is the
only safeguard Of the large for
ests. Otherwise they eventually
disappear" The speaker gave four
reasons for the proper care Of for

COLORADO RIVER
HOOVER PROJECT
Diversion of the TOrrential
Stream Is Soon to Be
Accomplished
AN ENGINEERING FEAT

Boulder City, Nev.-A year ago
the torrential Colorado river beat
its muddy waters unmolested against
the precipitious sides of Black
canyon-where the Colorado forms
the boundary between Nevada and
Arizona.
Today it looked upward and
knew that it's tempestuous career
was doomed
For overhead, ant-like Charles
A. Shea, construction director of
Six Companies, Inc, builder of
Hoover dam, looked down from the
portal Of a diversion tunnel and
said:
by December We'll have changed
your course SO that you'll flow
peacefully through four tunnels.
On your river bed well start build
ing Hoover dam, a gigantic tomb
stone to mark the end Of your
career"
Work Progressing.
Work of driving the tunnels and
pouring the tunnel portion of the
100000 cubic yards of concrete
that will 90 into Hoover dam is
progressing rapidly. Shea said.
After the Colorado has been di-
verted from its age-long course, the
dam proper will be started Up
Black canyons sides, Hoover dam
will rear its concrete bulk 73O feet,
the highest dam ever constructed.
Its crest will be 1,1SO feet long.
Back of this barrier will be i'm
pounded 30,5OO,OOO acre-feet of
water.
Waters from this lake - 10
miles long and twice as large as
San Francisco bay-will be used

spiteful Colorado boils through the
canyon SO viciously that it is five
feet higher in mid-stream than at
the banks.
Dangerous Task.
The work was as dangerous as
construction work can be. There
is a rumor that insurance experts
estimated that 200 men would be
killed the first year SO far IA
men hyae been killed.
After a years activity, the con
struction area forms a triangle
From Boulder City, seven miles
away, a highway and a railroad
stretch to the upper tunnel portals
on the river. Another highway
winds down to the lower portals,
plunging the last two miles along
a 10 per cent grade. Tunnels con-
meet the upper aud lower portals,
1000 feet apart.

LEVIN BOOKS GIVEN TO POLISH LIBRARY;
 ONCE WERE WASTE

BYDGOSZCZ, Poland, Dec. g. Books formerly owned by Nicolai Lenin and marked with his own notations, have been added to the public library of this town.
 Adam Grzymala Siedlecki, a Polish author, made the presenta- ton and told how he had saved the collection from being used as wrapping paper.
 He said he was living in Cra- COW in 1918 and one morning found his breakfast rolls had come wrapped in Russian prints, all though that language had scarcely been used in the city through the 100 years of Austrian control.
 Inquiry developed that the baker had bought lot of second hand books because the war had made wrapping paper so expensive.
 Siedecki paid the baker twice what the latter had spent for the collection. He explained that Len in spent 1912 and 1913 in Cracow as a political exile under his true name of Ullanoff

REPEAL THE ALASKA BONE DRY LAW.

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has asked Congress to validate three laws passed by the Alaska Legislature in it's 1881 session. The Chamber urged Delegate Wickersham to use every effort to secure Congressional legislation to make effective the Ter rtorial act repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law. It also urged legislation validate the Territorial laws repeating the Placer Act of 1912 and the one providing for absentee voting in the Territory.
 Delegate Wickersham is very much in earnest in his support of his bill introduced last session for the approval of the Alaska measure repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Act He made strong statement at the only hearing given the bill last Winter and before leaving Juneau he declared that he expected to secure favorable action during the short session.
 Sentiment in Alaska is practically unanimous in favor of the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law. that enforce National Prohibition charged with enforcing the Territorial Act which conflicts with the former in several important instances makes the situation anomalous Further than that, Alaska sentiment, like that of the country at large, has changed since the days when the Alaska Bone Dry Law adopted. It is contrary to the spirit of the times
 Absentee voting ought to be in effect in Alaska it is throughout vast sections of the coun- try In this country there is large percentage of the people who interested in different sec- tions in of which employment is seasonal, and the rigid residential qualifications of the voters cause many of our workngmen and others, among the best and most interested citizens we have, to lose their franchise
 Those engaged in mining generally favor the Territorial mining law passed last year Sentiment favors the leazation of the law

Beer This Winter.
(New York World Telegram.

(New York World-Teegram)
 Prospects of beer legislation this winter are bright.
 The election was a sweeping wet victory, but the new wet Congress and administration will not take office until March. Therefore have fear ed the lame duck session of the old Congress in December would sidestep the issue it did last spring. This now seems less probable as result of statements by Democratic leaders
 -President-Elect Garner and Senators Rob- inson and Harrison, among others, promise to sup port modification of the Vostead Act to legalize and tax beer this winter MT. Garner will retain during the last duck session his old position of power Speaker of the House, which is now al- ready under Democratic control. MT Robinson is Democratic leader in the Senate and Senator liar rison is the ranking Democratic the Finance Committee, which handles tax legislation.
 It will be noted that these three key Democratic leaders in Congress are all from the South the e-dry region which expected by some dope sters to betray the wet platform pledge following the election.
 fight for Volstead Act modification at the winter session they probably succeed for public senti- ment was sufficiently overwhelming in the election influence the large number of Prohibition strad- dlers, both Democratic and Republican, in the lame duck session.
 enough to pass modification a veto, but the President may not veto such measure. His hands are free since he took position on modification as apart from amendment repeal-n his cam- paign speeches
 There are two very potent reasons why he should not block modification. One is that such action would be clearly in defiance of the public vote which will be registered in beer legislation at the spring special session of the Congress any, way
 But the clinching argument is that the beer tax which will raise upward of half a billion dollars annually, is needed immediately to help balance the Hoover budget, now in the red

The boat sailed at midnight.
 Give felt like a prisoner who had served his sentence. He had n't realized how bitterly his per sonality had been curtailed till their hand baggage had been car red down to the waiting taxi.
 Goodbye, little nest, wher e we've been so happy Santa kissed slim fingers to bare floors and sheeted furniture.

 In the taxi his spirits rose.
 Whats the matter with you?" Santa rested her hand on his knee. You're bouncing"
 He barged into her, all but pumping her nose.

 She pushed him aside.
 Goose! You're crazy"
 Nevertheless, the excitement in- fected her. Having made sure that their trunks were aboard, they went on deck.
 AS they stood by the gang plank she logged him.
 Remember the last time?"
 When you didn't follow me? What chase you've led me"
 Hope I've been worth while?"
 "So-so." He shrugged his shoul- ders.
 "As an example of impassioned love-making that's not so hot" she grinned impertinently.
 If I stayed at boiling point, I'd evaporate," he retorted.

NEEDLESS DEADLOCK

After reading the Hoover Roosevelt correspond
ence foreign debts, we fail to understand the
apparent mood of both to let the matter rest. Far
from creating the deadlock which the White House
seems to think exists and which the silence at Al
hany to support the published correspondence
on its face, offers very obvious way out.
AS suggested Thursday, it seems to us that the
President should proceed with appointment of
preliminary nonbinding debt commission to explore
the situation fully, that the administration,
on March 4, will be spared additional months of
fact-fnding when every week of delay adds to the
depression.
This Of course is not an ideal solution But it
is compromise necesstated by the apparent I'M
willingness Of congress and the Democratic leaders
to authorize responsible congressional commission
with power to act now. Failure of congress to do
its duty leaves only the alternative of a presden-
tial exploratory commission.
Mr.. Roosevelt is right in refusing to take re-
sponsibity for the work of that commission by for
maly naming it's Democratic rnembers-under the
Constitution the President-elect has no such power.
But it is not at all necessary for Mr. Roosevelt
to take formal action. All that he has to do is to
state that he will make use of the commissions data
for what it is worth, when he becomes President.
Mr. Roosevelt has done that in his telegram TO
the President Doubtless his cooperation would
have been effective if he had accepted the
Presidents invitation to send owen D. Young or
Colonel House some other personal representa-
tive to Washington to work out method of CO.
operation satisfactory to the PEesdent-elect.
That procedure could have done harm and
it well might have prevented the stubborn attitude
which now seems to have fallen the White House.
Having gone this far, it would be folly for Pres-
dent Hoover to turn back Since he and his Re-
publican predecessors hitherto have chosen out
standing Democrats, such Norman Davis and
owen D. Young special expert commissioners to
explore foreign problems, there is nothing to pre-
vent the repetition of such appointments now.

THEN Drs. George F. and
L Gladys Henry Dick in Chi
cago, and Drs. Dochez and Avery
in New York, developed informa-
ton relative to the germ and to
the poison that it produces, which
led to knowledge of specific
character.
They found that a germ of the
type called the tspertococcus is re-
Sponsible for scarlet fever; that it
produces a poison or toxin which
can be found in the material in
which the germs grow; that this
toxin, when injected into the skin
of person who has not previous
ly had the disease, would produce
a severe reaction, whereas in those
protected against the disease it
would not produce reaction.
They found, furthermore, that
the injection of a small amount
of this toxin or poison in a hui
man being, after it had been made
harmless, would cause the person
to develop resistance against scar
let fever.
Also, a horse may be injected
with this poison or toxin. The
horse then will develop in its
blood an antitoxin valuable in
overcoming scarlet fever.
