MILLS ATTACKS
PLANS OUTLINED
BY ROOSEVELT
Treasury Chief, In Open
ing G. o. p. Campaign,
Flays Democrats
HOOVER rs ABLE
Hits Pork Barrel Bill
Sent To President
For Veto

Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the
Treasury, Monday night opened the
Republican Presidential campaign
by criticizing in it's entirety the ac-
ceptance address of the Democratic
nominee, Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt, of New York.
BOstOn's historic Faneuil Hall on
Monday night was the setting for
the criticisms and denunciations of
Secretary Mills, who centered his
address around the charge that
Governor Roosevelt has no program
to meet the economic situation.
The Treasury secretary sought of
the New York Governor specifically
what the administration has failed
to do or has done in this emergen-
cy that is open to fair criticism"
To the criticism directed at the
administrations credit achieve
ments. Mills pointed to the estab-
lishment of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation and provisions
for additional credit for federal land
banks and banks allied with agri-
culture.
Governor Roosevelt's tariff utter
ances came in for criticism and
Mills disapproved the Democratic
nominees plan to "enter into a SER
les of bargaining tariffs according to
the European practice"
Hits "POrk Barrel" Bill
The pledges of Governor Roose-
velt and his party to drastic econo-
my, abolition of useless offices and
consolidation of government bur-
eaus were met with the assertion
that expenditures of the state of
New York increased by one-third
from 1929 to 1881; that Democrats
of the House voted by large ma
jority for "Garner's pork barrel
measure" and that "they declined
to give the President the authority
to abolish useless bureaus"
Mills took up the problem that
confronts the American farmer with
the comment that other than Gov
ernor Roosevelt's suggestion that ,
rates on farm mortgages
should be reduced, without saying
how it is to be done, find nothing |
in his program which does not con-
stitute a mere endorsement in prin- !
ciple of what has and is now being |

THRESHING IS
MOST DANGEROUS
WORK ON FARM
Delaware Safety Council
Urges PrecautiOn While
Working On Machines
SMOKE SCREENS
Every Traction Engine
Should Be So Protected
To Eliminate Fires
s MOKE SCREENS

Most farmers are by necessity
jacks of all trades. This fact togeth-
er with the long hours of exposure,
explains to a large degree the num-
ber of fatal accidents, approximate
ly 5000 chargeable to American agri-
culture each year. The Delaware
Safety Council wishes to emphasize
that a large percentage of these fa-
talities occur during the summer
months when they hay, wheat and
corn crops are harvested.
Threshing, one of the most dan
gerOus of farm tasks, sometimes con-
tinues until after dusk when the or
dinary dangers of the work are great
ly increased by poor light and ex-
hausted men. A threshing machine
consists of an engine and a separa-
tor. When in use these two machines
stand a short distance apart and are
connected by heavyb elt. Because of
its length the belt is never covered:
1t has been known to carry men
against the drive wheels. Threshing
with no fire screen over the smoke
stack of steam engine may set fire
to the straw and burn the years crop.
The intake is the most dangerous
part of the separator.
Bundles of grain are carried into
the cutting knives by slowly moving
belts or aprons. The same mechan-
ism may carry a fork into the ma
chine and pieces of wood and steel
fly through the air, particularly from
the straw outlet. Loose clothing may
catch in moving gears or aprons and
bring a man in contact with the

very we'll aware of this fact, also.
Therefore, they cannot pay any
such prices as they were willing to
pay some years ago. However, there
are probably many persons who
would be willing to give odd jobs
to unemployed.
For example, let us take the lot
of the unemployed carpenter. Three
or four years ago he was working
and earning sixty cents or more and
he had no trouble finding jobs at
that price. Today, he is out of work.
He is just walking around waiting
for times to get better. In nearly
every home, there are some little
things out of order; hinges and lat
chefs off of doors, screens that don't
fit, loose boards in floor or on a
stairway, old furniture that might
be fixed, locks that won't work,

Only Eleven Democrats
Support 1t Despite Wet
Platform OF Party
SENTIMENT IS
o STILL PREVALENT
Delaware Senators Help
Kill Republican Higher
Powered Brew Move

The first prohibition test in Con-
gress since the national party con-
Ventions showed little change from
past overwhelmingly dry sentiment.
The Senate on Monday afternoon
turned down bill to legalize beer
of higher alcoholic content by vote
of 80 to rs, stopping the beer move
ment for this session.
Senators Hastings and Townsend
of Delaware, were among the Re-
publicans helping to kill the attempt
toward legallzing beer of greater
alcoholic content than now permit
ted.
The vote sent the Bingham bill to
modify the Volstead act back to
committee.
Despite the platform declaration
of the Democratic party for immedi-
ate modification of the Volstead act,
the beer advocates only mustered IL
Democratic votes against the mo-
ton to refer the bill to committee.
Three Senators who previously
had opposed the change voted this
time, with the advocates. They were
Senators Fletcher and Trammell,
Florida, Democrats, and Patterson,
Missouri, Republican.
The Bingham bill was designed to
write 3.45 per cent into the Volstead
Act in place of the present one-half
of one per cent limitation of alco-
holic content in beverages.
The vote was on motion by Sena-
tor Robinson, of Arkansas, Demo-
cratic leader, to refer it to the Ju-
dietary Committee for a determine
tion of the question of what consti-
tutes an intoxicating beverage.
Debate waxed warm. Senator
Bingham (R. Conn.,, sponsor of the
legislation, charged the Democrats
were attempting to dodge a direct
vote.

LOW INFANT DEATH
RATE In DELAWARE
DIR. A. c. JOst, However, Warns OF
Danger During Present Quarter

DR.. A. G. JOst, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health, states
that one of the unusual features of
the period through which we are
passing, is the fact that where an
increased amount of sickness and a
larger number of deaths than occur
in more prosperous periods might be
expected, the reverse is the actual
experience.
DR.. Jost states that especially is
this seen in respect to infant deaths.
1t would appear that during the pres
ent year, the rate of infant losses is
the lowest ever experienced in the
state over a similar period. There
were but So infant deaths reported
to the State Board of Health during
the first quarter of the year, against
so and SO during 1880 and 1881. If
this record can be maintained said
DR.. Jost, Delaware will have eXpe-
rienced, during 1882, it's best year in
so far as infant losses are con-
cerned.
DR.. Jost further states that the
quarter on which we are now en-
tered is, however, one very often
accompanied with a greater number
of deaths than are met with during
other months of the year. Diarrheal
affection, often brought about in the
first place by incorrect feeding, is
especially apt to be met. The diff
Guilty in caring for milk, infection
carried by flies and disordered nu-
triton, the result of unaccustomed
heat, are factors in this increased
fatality. If in the homes, vigilance
can be exercised to guard against
these, much shall have been done to
enable the baby to pass in safety
through what is usually it's period
of greatest danger, he said.
