Finds End in Winter

Excluding 1914, Tor which rec

major bear market has ended in
the winter or the spring of the
year. In four years, 1877, 1885,
1896 and 1921, the final low has
been reached in the summer. In
the minor depression of 1903-1904
and in the market which ended
with the panic of 1907 the final
lows were touched in the autumn
There is more than chance and

mon. Small hoarders, people with
500 to $500 slowed away, probably
are much more numerous but the
amount they hold out of circulation
does not compare with that frozen
by larger hOarders.
Between the peak in circulation
caused by the Christmas trade and
the end of January, boarding is es-
timated to have increased by about
100000, 900; this deduction is made
from the fact that in January this
year circulation shrank $4,000, 900
in comparison with $410,000,000 in
the same period of last year.
At the close of 1881 paper cur
rency outstanding was 81, ,18Z, ,593. $50
and to that date the rate of increase
in money in circulation had been
substantially the same as that in the
total volume issued and Outstand-

nial of the reported early extinction

declared Ruby r. Vale, prominent
Philadelphia attorney, of Milford, at
a meeting of the Masonic Club in
Wilmington on LincOln's Birthday.
Mr.. Vale declared that the pres
ent deplorable condition cannot be
ignored. The radicalism of nulliti-
cation and the fanaticism of zealo-
try are weakening the foundations
of law and order. The reserve power
of earnest people must be aroused
to the peril of the disregard of all
laws as well as the lawlessness of
nullification as the wrong obstinate
refusal to elicit truth by full inves-

Outcome Of Meeting Last
Thursday Night
TO BENEFIT MILFORD

In response to a request made by
City Manager Banning, thirty-two
of Milford's leading merchants met
in the Municipal Building and dis
cussed plans for the organization of
a Merchants Cooperative AssOcia-
ton. The purpose of the meeting
was explained by Mr.. Banning who
stressed the fact that he desired the
aid of the business interests in the
city in his work to give the munich
pality the best government possible.
He said that he would listen care
fully to any suggestions which
might be made by the merchants at
any time, that that his actions
would be governed very largely by
conclusions reached after discus
sion of the problems which will di-
rectly affect the city and it's busi-
ness houses.
Following his suggestion that the
merchants organize a live Organiza-
ton which will act as a clearing
house for many things that will
come up for action, those present
formed a temporary organization. R.
Arthur DerricksOn was made tenn
porary chairman and Thomas Davis,
temporary secretary.
Those who attended the meeting
were enthusiastic in their comments
in favor of such an organization.

GOVERNOR NAMES
GROUP TO STUDY

To Suggest What Changes
To State Laws Are
Desirable
QUESTION CHARTERS

Looking to the possible strength
ening of the banking laws in Della
ware, Governor c. Douglass Buck
has appointed a committee of prom
inent bankers throughout the State
to make an extensive study of the
existing statutes and to suggest any
changes or additions deemed feas-
ible.
Harold w. Horsey, Delaware
banking commissioner, has been
named chairman of the committee
which comprises Richard Reese,
Harry Craig, A. F. Crichton, L. L.
Maloney, Robert Kemp, Henry
Ridgely, Dover; Thomas Ingram,
Lewes; Daniel Hirsch, Milford; Ed
ward Goslee, Millsboro; Scott Baker
and H. T. Burke.
Every phase and department of
banking is represented on the COM
mittee from national and state to
commercial, savings and building
and loan.
Special attention will be paid in
the survey to present day banking
problems and their relation to exist
ing laws. Should changes and addi-
tions be found necessary to rein
force the law, in order to cope sue
cessfully with changing conditions,
the committee will submit their rec
concentrations in a report to the
State Legislature.
Another angle to be studied by the
committee will be the question of
possible stricter requirements for
the granting of charters. There is
feeling among some bankers that
the law should fix definitely the
minimum capitalization in order to
obtain charter for a new bank.
These and other problems will be
thoroughly gone over by the COM
mittee members with a view of de-
termining if any changes are neces-
sary in the laws to bring banking in

Persons with large incomes or

the boarding, according to oral and
statistical information made avail
able February 1S at the Department
of the Treasury.
Basing it's opinion on the fact
that large denomination currency
has shown greater increases in cir
culatiOn throughout 1881 than that
of smaller denomination, the Treas
ury believes that in effect if not in
number the wealthy hoarders are of
more influence in the situation than
persons of modest incomes. Addi-

Series Of EUeRtS Greatly
Retarded Work Of LO-
cal Firefghters Early
Tuesday Morning.
Accidents To Hose Lines
On TLUO Trucks Caused
Delay Which Fortunate
Ly Was Not Costly.

Fire, which about 2:3O o'clock
| Tuesday morning destroyed the gar
age and two cars parked therein at
the home of DR.. G. Layton Crier,
! caused much concern and excite
ment for about two hours before the
1 firemen finally got it under control.
During this time the entire section
west of the railroad was illuminat-
ed by the flames from the burning
building.
A series of misfOrtuntes aided
greatly in retarding the work of the
members of the Carlisle Fire Com
pany who responded early to the
alarm. When the first truck was put
in action the inner lining of the
main line of hose from the pump
tore loose and clogged the hose
lines. 1t was several minutes be-
fore new lines could be laid and
water thrown on the burning build
ing and nearby structures which
were on fire at several times. When
the second truck was put in action
the main suction hose which attach
es to the fireplug split when the
ditional time before the trouble
could be remedied and a new sue
tion hose attached. The firemen say
that this is the first time in sixteen
years that a suction hose had gone
bad when in active service.
The fire was discovered in the
garage by Miss Ann Grier, daughter
of Dr.. Grier, when she was awak-
ened by the sound of the flames as
they spread through the garage.
When the alarm was sounded the
building was a mass of flames and
any effort to save it and its con-
tents was useless. When first dis
covered the fire was burning in the
northeast portion of the building.
The two cars in the garage, a Lin
coin sedan and a Buick coupe, were
parked on the south side of the
garage. When first seen there was
no fire near them. Just what caused
the blaze will probably never be
known. The electric wiring into the
building was on the far side OF the
building from where the blaze was
discovered.
When it was seen that the gar
age could not be saved the firemen
confined their efforts to saving near
by buildings which were on fire sew
eral times. The home Of D. NJ. West,

Project; New Rules
PROTEST DRY BOOKS

While practically all of the State
departments were closed Friday in
7 observance of Lincoln's birthday, the
State Board of Education observed
the day with an all-day meeting,
considering matters left over from
the meeting a week ago.
The main discussion of the day
was a continuance of the considera-
ton of the demonstration school at
Georgetown. Several other letters
were read from principals, super
visors and teachers as to their re-
action as to the advisability of con-
tinuing the school.
After a lengthy discussion, the
matter was deferred for later con-
sideration by the State board and to
secure further information as to the
feeling of the Georgetown Board of
Education and those connected with
the demonstration school.
The board also discussed at some
length the cafeteria management in
the schools. A uniform set of rules
were adopted governing the conduct
of such cafeterias in the State.
g Professor John Shilling, assistant
in charge of the high schools of the
State appeared before the board and
gave an outline for governing the
secondary schools of the State.
A recommendation for change of
the rules in regard to the teaching
of enociate married women, was
made by the board to the effect that

four months before childbirth and
shall not return to the school as

MOTHERS PENSION
GROUP In MEETING
Several Applications From Three
Counties Are Considered

At the monthly meeting of the

in the Supreme Court room in the
State House at Dover on Friday, sew
eral applications from the three
counties were considered.
Four new applications from Kent
county were considered, one of
which was granted and three held
over for further consideration.
Three new applications were heard
from Sussex county, one of which
was granted and two disallOwed.
No new cases were present from
New Castle county, although there
are over 70 cases pending but be-
cause of lack of funds it was deemed
unnecessary to consider them. Elev-
en- pensioned families were recon-
sidered, of which two were increas-
ed; three reduced and one continued
because of unsatisfactory guardian
ship.
Iu Sussex county one pensioned
case was discontinued because of re-
marriage. Reports were made on
three families. The commission was
gratified to learn of the GONZALES
