APOLOGY" Appealed to
Golf Directors Huynor

AT a golf club on the North Shore
two professionals are employed, one
to look after the course and one
to teach. The latter is a veteran
Scot of Independent character and
fearless tongue. Some time back,
a writer in the Boston Globe re-
calls. he said something to a new
member of the board of directors
which seemed to that individual to
be disrespectful. He complained at
a meeting of the board and sue
ceeded in having old Willie dis
charged.
Afterward the other directors felt
sorry. Finally the head profes-
sional was told to inform him that
if he would appear before a meet
ing of the directors and make an ex-
PLANTATION his job would be restored
to him.
When, in due course. Willie ap-
peared, the president addressed him
benevolently.
We'll, Willie" he said, tell US
what you have to say for yourself;
but make it short. for we're in a
hurry"
"Oh, I'll make it short" said
Willie, in loud, clear voice. What
I've got to say is, that you can all
go to h-lw
For a moment the directors sat in
stunned silence. Then. including
the one who had made the com
plant, they broke into choking
laughter. The president was first to
regain his composure.
"All right, Willie" he said. 1--WE
accept your apology. You can re-
turn to work tomorrow"

NJ. {. CONFERENCE PLANS
MEETING At SALISBURY, MD.
BISHOP MCDOWELL TO PRE-
SIDE OVER GATH SESSION
Very Few Changes Among Min
listers in Wilmington and Thru
out District Are Anticipated

The sixty-fourth session of the
Wilmington Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
will be held in the Asbury Church,
Salisbury, Nd, beginning Tuesday
night, March %, with the Rev.
Samuel McWilliams as conference
host. The conference is entertain
ed this year on Plan No. 3, the
conference paying the board of all
ministers or members of the Law
Conference, out Of the conference
fund provided for that purpose.
DR.. McWilliams has already map
ped out plans for entertaining the
visitors, having secured a list of
homes where lodging will be pro-
vided, and meals will be served in
the church. Each member of the
Ministerial and Lay Conference,
who makes private arrangements
for entertainment, will be handed
by the committee $2.35 a day for
each day in attendance at confer
ence, the amount designated by
DR.. Nc Williams as the cost for
such entertainment by the church.
From present indications the ses-
sion will be a rather quiet one, as
nothing so far has been filed in the
way of charges against any minis
ter, and the session will be devot-
ed to the usual routine work. Few
changes in the pastorate are ex-
pected at this session, and there
has been less talk Of changes this
year than for many years past.
There are to be no changes in
Wilmington, with the possible ex-
ception of one of the smaller
churches, and few on the Will
mington District. This also holds
good for the other districts of the
conference. The conference will
be presided over by Bishop Will
liam F. Mcdowell, of the Washing
ton Area, the last conference ses-
sion over which he will preside, as
he retires at the next session Of
the General Conference in May,
owing to the age limit. The mem
orial service for the dead minis
tiers and wives will probably be
longer this year, owing to the
death Of eight members Of the
conference since the last session.
The session this year will be at

FEDERAL ROAD BILL ALLOTS
DELAWARE SUM Of S6OO,OOO
MEASURE PASSED IN HOUSE
PROVIDES EMERGENCY FUND
Convict Labor Is Barred; Local
Workers Must Get Maximum of
Jobs, Congressional Act Requires

Passage of the Almon bill late
Saturday by the House, whereby a
supplemental appropriation of
$120,000,000 is made for emerg-
ency construction highway, means
that Delaware will get 100000 in
the form of a loan based on area,
population and road mileage. The
State would use this fund to match
the regular Federal funds appro-
priated for joint highway con-
struction. All work done with this
new fund would be performed be
fore June 80, 1888. The money so
advanced would be paid back over
a period of ten years, beginning in
1888 by deduction from regular ap-
portionments of the Federal Treas
ury to the states in future author
izations. The bill was fully sup
ported by the Democrats in the
House and has been regarded for
several weeks as the only direct
relief measure likely to be enacted
by the House at this session.
Twelve Democrats voted against
the bill, while 151 voted for it. Re
publicans vigorously opposed the
measure. Their action was in line
with President Hoover's views that
Federal jobs to the unemployed
constituted an unwise form of re-
lief, and many leaders characteriz-
ed the proposition as Outrageous, /"
destructive" and highly unwise. :"
The House also adopted an amend
ment to the bill that provides that
maximum employment Of local
labor shall prevail on projects car
ried on with the additional funds,
and another provides that no con-
vict labor may be used on such
projects. The opposition to the
bill was led by Representative Will
R. Wood, Republican, Indiana, and
asserted that the measure was an
attempt to undermine what Presi-
dent Hoover is doing to reduce eX-
penses." He declared that credit
of the kind proposed in the meas
ure was the worst thing that can
befall man or country" and ex-
pressed the hope that if the bill
was passed the President would
veto it five minutes after it reach
ed his desk.

Chancellor Must Guard
Great Seal of England

Great in meaning and great in
power. the Great Seal Of England is
yet, comparatively, a small thing.
Made of silver-a metal easy to
clean-it is about seven inches in
diameter and weighs II pounds. The
lord chancellor is its custodian and
responsible for its safety, and it
lies within his discretion to keep it
where he thinks fit.
In days gone by those in whose
custody it lay have spent anxious
moments. Lord Chancellor Eldon,
in the reign Of George III. used
to sleep with it under his pillow |!
One night his house caught fire and
he buried it in his garden for safety.
Next day he had forgotten where
he had hidden it and could not re
call for some time.
Whenever a new Great Seal is in
troduced a special ceremony takes
place. The new seal is sent from
the mint to the king. The lord
chancellor, notified of this by writ,
takes the old Great Seal to the pal
ace and hands it, in two halves, to
the king. The latter taps it three
times with small, egg-shaped ham
mer, thus defacing the seal, which
is of very soft metal. The old seal
then becomes the perquisite Of the
chancellor. In modern times it has
become customary for him to send
one-half to his predecessor in of
flee, as an act Of courtesy.-New
York Times Magazine.

made Lawrence Sterne famous, but
he had other hobbies than writing
novels, many of them, books, shoot
ing, painting and fiddling. His eX-
cuse for indulging in so many hob

cookie shells. their drums and their
trumpets, their fiddles and their but
terflies? And so long as man rides

asAdvice for Joan," An Interesting
Short Story Written by III.
Louis RaybOld

uER problem was as new 70
Il Joan as if no other girl had
ever tried to solve a similar one.
Which to marry-the poor, beloved
young man or the rich young man
whom she respected and liked and
might, in time, come to love.
There had come into her life two
men. One, young Milton Arnold, son
of the president of the local cotton
mills.
The other, Barry Mason, princi-
pal of the school where she taught.
Milt would inherit thousands. Barry
had an Invalid mother dependent on
him and principalships are seldom
stepping stones to a fortune.
In a burst of confidence she told
her mother all about it. They've
both asked to marry me-" she con-
fessed. "But l don't know-I don't
know"
"Joan," she said suddenly, why
don't you spend your vacation with
Aunt Carol? Go away from both
these estimable young men and
think things over for yourself"
I'm afraid" said Joan, that if
do that, I'll surely want Milt. Just
a glimpse of that sort of life"
AS you like" said her mother.
In the end, Joan went to Boston.
She was met at the station by her
aunt's brown limousine and brown
suited chauffeur. She was driven to
the solemn brownstone-fronted house
in Back Bay; then shown to her
room and told by a precise white
capped maid that her aunt would
be home at five.
At five promptly, Aunt Carol. mag
nificently furred and gowned, came
hurrying into the room and took
Joan in her arms.
"Your mother wrote me-" she said
archly, 'that you've run away from
two ardent admirers. And mean
while, we must see that you have
the finest time.
Not even Sally Arnold, Milt's deb
utante sister. could have whirled
through more gayety than did Joan
in the following days.
Dinners, dances. luneheons, shop
ping tours, opera-it was a wonder
If either Barry or Milt were ever
spared a thought.
And yet, lying in the exQuisitely-

life would he hers forever if she
married Milt. If she married Barry
well, of course. it was absurd to
think she would know abject pov
erty or anything remotely approach
ing il. What she would know would
be doing her own household tasks,
careful, economy, doing without
this to obtain that, and. if there
should be family, constant spec
ulation as TO where dentist bills,
music lessons and college educations
were coming from.
Joan didn't see a great deal of her
aunt. Once introduced to the bevy
of young people that were daugh-
ters and sons of her aunt's friends,
she was swept along without effort
on her part on the surge of various
activities.
1t was the last night of her stay
that Aunt Carol came into her room
Have you settled that momen-
tous question of yours?" she asked
with a smile.
Joan shook her head.

men, and their incomes being equal
Joan, do you love one of them?"
A rosy flush suffused the sweet
contours of Joan's face. Il think

hand heavy with shining rings on
Joan's slender shoulder. ''Take the
one you love, Joan. If it's the rich
one-well and good. If the poor one

and disappointments that only love

Wolves in Russia Take
Heavy Toll of Animals

Though tales of timber wolves
chasing and attacking human beings
are branded as fabrications. the Eu
ropean and Arctic cousins of the
American species frequently are
guilty.
Donald B. Mcmillan, the explor-
er, says that the white wolves of
the Arctic have been known to track
down and kill Eskimos. He cited
an instance recently when a man
was borne down and devoured by
wolves on his way home from
sealing expedition.
In Russia, where wolves travel in
large and ferocious packs in the
winter, there are many instances
where peasants have been devoured.
Sometimes a whole family. jour
neying across the plains in a sleigh,
is killed and eaten by the beasts
after the horses have been pulled
down. Tales of desperate fights are
common.
In Russia $1,000 horses, $4,000
cattle and $4,000 other animals were
devoured by wolves in 1924. The
Russian wolf is very much like the
American timber wolf, except for
color and markings, and sometimes
weighs 100 pounds.
The greatest human toll by wolf
was taken near Gevudan, France,
in 1765. IL the story is correct. so
people were devoured that year by
an animal of great size and daring
which invaded streets at night in
the hunt for victims.

BOY. LONG IN
RESPIRATOR, is
DEATH LOSER
Meets Fate With Smile
After 118-Day Battle for
His Life.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
SYRACUSE, N. Y, March 49,
Clarence Hastings, 14-year-old Kings
Ferry boy, died in a Drinker respi-
rator today with a final smile for
his nurse.
Clarence had fought for life for
118 days in the reSpirator, after in
fantile paralysis affected his lung
muscles.
Last Wednesday, Clarence under
went an abdominal operation.
The boys gameness and cheer
fitness attracted nation-w wide atten-
ton, and he received mail from all
parts Of the United States and
Canada.
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
sent the boy two autographed books.
Early Thursday night, Clarence
sank into delirium. He rallied,
however, and was conscious at in
tervals. His nurse was the only one
present when he died.
She said the boy smiled once at
her, then sank into a deep sleep
from which he did not awaken.
Clarence's family was expected
here today to take the body to
Kings Ferry for burial.
