Citizens of Delaware, especially
those living within easy motor dis

treat if they are not attending the
fine program arranged for the ser
les of entertainments known as
''The University Hour" held at
Mitchell Hall. The second of the

ening was very well attended. The
Philadelphia String Quartet pre-
sented one of Brahms shorter
works as the Introductory selection
of the program. They continued
with Bach's Choral Prelude, as it
has been transcribed by Mrs. M.
Wood Hill. This was the first play
ing anywhere of the prelude in that
form. The second part of their
program also included Raff-Poch-
on's lie Moulin" and the Irish
Fantasie, Londonderry Air. The
concluding group was composed of
Dohnanyis Quartet in D Flat
Major. The orchestra was well
balanced and the excellent program
was received with merited ap-

TO DEEPEN THE
INLET AT LEWFS
Figures Show That It Would
Benefit the Shipping In
terests in That Vicinity
PROMOTING THE PROJECT

AS the time approaches for the
presentation before the December
term OF Congress of sufficient evi-
dence to warrant an appropriation
for the deepening Of the inlet into
the Lewes-Rehoboth canal, various
shipping interests are Fastening to
furnish convincing figures to show
how this inlet will benefit the port
Of Lewes and tributary vicinity
.. w. Burbage, of Lewes, retired
ship broker, who has done so much
to promote the project has received
letters from various oil companies
tugs and barge owners, throughout
the East, giving in detail the bene-
fit to be derived by themselves and
the entire shipping trade These
letters are being forwarded by Mr..
Burbage to the United States En-
gineers' office at Wilmington. who
in turn will present them before
Congress. Each company stresses
the urgent need Of a deeper chan
mel into Lewes, and hopes that the
project will be started early in the
Spring as has been promised by the
engineers should the appropria-
ton be forthcoming With the on
coming of stormy weather causing
many vessels to seek shelter within
the breakwater, the need for deep
er water to make possible the har-
boring of larger ships is brought
forcibly to mind and for this rea-
son Mr.. Burbage is forwarding the
letters in time for the short term
of Congress. During the "a hours
between Tuesday night and Wed
nesday night the breakwater was
dotted with vessels from the storm
Several barges of the Southern
Transportation Co. were forced in.
On Thursday morning with favor
axle winds the harbor was cleared
again. AS the result of an indus
trial survey made during Septem-
ber it was ascertained that approx
imately $4,000 annually in freight
rates could be saved by use of a
deeper inlet. The saving on sand,
gasoline, and oil alone, they state,
would amount to more than $4,000
a year. Petroleum interests re-
ported that during the past year L.
300,290 gallons had been shipped
by freight. The Coast Guard would
be assisted materially in their saw
ing of life and property with a
deeper waterway, they pointed out.
Among the companies submitting
data to the engineers office are the
Standard Shipping Company, New
York, the Interstate Oil Transport
Company, Philadelphia, and the Pi-
/ lots Association of the Bay and
River Many canneries of this sec
ton who ship goods throughout
I Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia,
also add their petitions for quick
action in securing this inlet into the
Lewes-Rehoboth canal. The pro-
i ject will also do much toward the
& securing of the proposed ferry line
between Cape May and Lewes, as
the facilities are inadequate for a
landing at Queen Anne pier, the
water being rough and hazardous
under present conditions.

GE NERAL MILLS
LAUDS ADS

How advertising increased the
consumption of certain farm prod
uctS such as eggs, sugar, and
flour is shown by a statement
made today by General Mills, Inc.
During the week of November q,
26,000,000 eggs, 100000 pounds
of sugar, and 531,0 pounds of
flour, over and above normal con-
sumption of these products, were
used to make two million angel
food cakes which were sold by
commercial bakers that week as
result of the bakers advertising
program of General Mills, Inc.
This achievement indicates the
potential resources of the home
market for American products,
and what can be accomplished by
an intensive advertising program.
Thousands of bakers featured
in their local newspaper and dis
play advertising the cake which
was made according to the for
mula advocated by Betty Crocker,
General Mills dietician. In ad-
dition, during the week this cake
was advertised in a popular maya
zine and two nationwide radio
programs.
Since the product could be
bought only from a baker or
grocer the results of this sales
effort could be definitely and i'm
mediately traced. James F. Bell,
president of General Mills, COM
ments: q
"The success of this plan is
another proof that the Am
erican market is the best mar
ket for the American farmer.
The large increase in the con-
sumption of basic farm prod
ucts, eggs, sugar, and wheat,
was accomplished in one week
through this effort"

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 GN.SD.
The bond market displayed a
firm undertone today, with con-
tinued strength in German gov
ernment obligations again the

German International 5hs
pushed ahead to 81 for a gain Of
112 points, and new high for

made new 1882 peak at II, for
a fractional gain. French Is
rallied u point to 117A, and
United Kingdom 51as were un-
changed at 1051a.
The U. S. Government list
edged up fractionally, with the
Liberty 312s up 1872 at 101.31;
Liberty First 4As up 3-32 at
1923; Liberty Fourth 4Hs up
1872 at 1928; Treasury As up
1872 at 105.14, and Treasury IS
up 2-32 at 96.19.
Rail bonds were firm for the
most part, with Chesapeake Cor
poration IS up y point at 81,
Baltimore and Ohio 41as of '33

Science of Spending
To Improve LiUin0

Halllng the new science of
spending as the antidote for
lowered wage and income levels,
DR.. Paul H. Nystrom, economist
and professor of marketing at
Columbia University, declares
maintenance and improvement
Of living standards must be
sought through a better use of
such income as we have.
There is much more in this
science than economy and thrift,
said DR.. Nystrom in a statement
released through the research
department of Household Finance
Corporation. When developed it
will call forth fully as much
ability, thought, imagination and
energy as were formerly devoted
to secure increased income. Some
families are getting at least Is
per cent more good out of what
they have than others with the
same income living under similar
conditions.

SLUMP IN STEEL
(. To CONTINUE

In reporting a decline of l per
cent in steel operations last week
to IA per cent of capacity, the
magazine Steel states that mum
Der of encouraging developments
were cushioning the seasonal
slide into the holiday period.
Sustained releases for automo-
tive steel will mean higher total
output than in November for
some producers, it was. pointed
out. Railroads have released some
rails, cities are placing cast iron
pipe for stock, oil industry is in
qulring better for tanks, pig iron
shipments are holding up unex-
pectedly well, and in some dis
trlcts demand for coke is greater
than in November.
A further recession in, produc-
tion, however, is forecast for this
week and next week the July 4
low of the depression, or IL per
cent, undoubtedly will be reached,
the report declared. Some plants
will suspend from December "a to
January 3. and one important
mill until February /.

actor. For three Christmas
Ewes, Donald had been taking
the part of Tiny Tim in Dickens
Christmas Carol" presentation
over the CHS system.
And did Donald love it! He
knew the role by heart. He
needed no cript. Bosh! He
LIVED the part!
Donald was all primed to do
the Tiny Tim act again this
Christmas Eve, but old Dame
Nature stepped in, wagged her
horny finger and cackled, Not
this time, Tim me lad!"
A couple of weeks ago, as
Donald was practicing for a
radio role, his beautiful clear
soprano voice suddenly went dead
on him. The result was ludicrous
to the auditors, but tragic for
Donald. The result beggared de-
scription, as they say. It wasn't
a rumble-andboom, neither was
it squeak, but took on the
characteristics of both. Kind of
like the attempt at Growing of
an adoleScent cockerel, if you
know what / mean.
Well-it's just too bad for
Donald. This year he'll have
to sit at the loud speaker and
hear Julian Altman do the Tiny
Tim Characterization. It'll be
tough. But Donald is real
trouper. He can take it on the
chin. He knows the show must
go on, if not with one actor.
then with another. Even so
great an actress as Maude Adams
couldn't continue playing Peter
Pan, and even Mary Pickford
had to clip her beautiful curls
and grow up.
Donald, with eyes somewhat
moist, agrees with this-but it's
tragedy, nevertheless.

little CHANCE
IS RECORDED
ON CURB
BY THEODORE KosLow

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 QN.SO. .
The curb market today continued
to hold within the well-defined
trading limits which have ruled
for upwards of a week, with
price changes of a more or less
irregular character prevalent
along the line.
Handful Pooled Higher
A handful of stocks, still re-
flecting aggressive pool sponsor
ship, were able to make progress
on the upside, but in the main,
the list continued to reflect drib-
bling liquidation of tired holders.
Electric Bond and Share was
taken in hand among the utilities,
reaching 203s for a net gain of
70 on fairly heavy volume. Con-
solidated Gas of Baltimore was
up "a at 67B.
The speciality group was mixed,
Deere setting the pace on the
upside with a gain of "a to 1914,
closely followed by the pool spon-
scored Cord Corporation which
gained 3s at ia.
Oils in Liquidation
Oils we're again subjected to
scattered liquidation, with Stand.
ard of Indiana off 70 at 213s,
and Gulf off "a at 27A.
National Bond and Share
firmed up "a for a gain of 12
point in the investment trust list.
The Curb Bond list was dis
posed to churn around, with un-
important changes.

EAST TEXAS OIL
FIELD CLOSED

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 GN.S). .
With the giant East Texas oil
field closed today for the second
time in less than two years,
leaders of the petroleum industry
in cooperation with oil producing
States sought to prop the de-
moralized price structure.
Inspectors of the Texas rail
road commission reported that
the shutdown order issued on
Saturday had been complied with
by practically all producers.
All of the major companies, it
was stated, and most of the
smaller producers will keep their
field forces on the payroll in the
two weeks in which the field will
be closed pending determination
of new proration orders by the
commission.
Shell petroleum Co., subsidiary
of Shell Union Oil, announced a
further cut in the prices it will
pay to conform with the drastic
slashes made by other companies,
Kentucky and Wyoming prices
were reduced also.

Vox Pop

Dear Mr.. BigelOw:
1t has often occurred to me
that radio reviews similar to
theater reviews would be most
acceptable to the reading public,
as an aid in selecting programs
which would give the most en-
jOyment to the individual with.
out Fishing"
Then, too, constructive criti-
ciSm of certain programs, If
studied by their sponsors, would
undoubtedly result in improve
ment of the programs.
Take, for instance, the Fire
side Fantasies with Jack Smith
and the Humming Birds.
Why doesn't Jack leave the
advertising of his remedy for
"Sawr thrawts" to the an
nOuncer. He can sing, but he
can't talk. That drawl of his
sounds terrible, at least South
of the MasOn-Dixin line.
Another objection is that the
present plan breaks up the pro-
gram so that approximately 10
of the Is minutes are spent in
extOlling the virtues of the
"Sawr thrawt" remedy and the
rest in snatches of songs. A
concise advertising announce
ment, all made at once, would
be much more effective.
