PLAN FOR WHITE
HOUSE CONFERENCE.
Committee Meetings Are Held To
Law Out Work For Gathering

Committee meetings are being held
daily in anticipation of the Delaware
White House Conference to be held
in Dover on October s. The Della
ware Conference, which represents
an effort to familiarize the people of
the State with the cOuntry's best
thought in regard to child health
and protection, was initiated by Gov.
ernor Buck last April. Mrs. Frank
G. Tallman, DR.. Fl. V. Holloway, DR..
A. c.. Jost, Dr. G. A. Sargent, Hon.
Charles M. Curtis, Miss Eta j. Will
son, and Burton p Fowler comprise
the executive committee.
The work has been organized un-
der four main sections: Medical Ser
vice, Public Health Service and Ad-
ministration, Education and Train
ing, and the Handicapped. These
sections include nineteen maol, COM
mittees which have subdivided into
additional groups bringing the total
number OF committees actually at
work on a study of the 1880 White
House Conference reports and a
comparative survey of conditions
which prevail in Delaware. up to
fifty.
The two sets of the national re-
ports provided for committee mem
bers have been in continuous use
during the summer and have served
as a measuring rod" with which to
evaluate conditions throughout the
State.
Brief summaries of the reports
filed will be given at the meeting to
be held in Dover on October s, to j.,
which leaders in the various fields
of child welfare work will be in
vited
The Delaware White House Con-
ference is a part of the nationwide
effort to bring to the people of Amer
ica the contrast between things as
they are, and things as the most re-
liable public opinion believes they /
should be. The result of the inten- !
sive work done this summer will be
a picture in black and white of the
changes in health and protective |
measures for Delaware children ne
cessary, before the State can meas
ure up to its fullest possibilities in
the field of child development AL
though it is hoped that eventually
many of the recommendations pre-
sented to the Conference may be
worked into the States legislative
program, the major purpose, at this
lime, is greater coordination of ef-
ort rather than immediate expansion

". c. Smith TALKS
TO ROTARY CLUB
Appeals For international
Understanding At Mon
days Meeting.

w. c. Smith, vice president and
treasurer of The /. D. Caulk Com
pany,. Who has been connected with
them for the past twenty years,
pleasantly surprised his fellow RO-
tarians with a stirring appeal for
better international understanding
at the regular luncheon meeting
held on Monday. September 26, at
the New Windsor Hotel. The subject
was incOnnection with the sixth law
of Rotary which reads as follows:
"To encourage and foster the ad-
vancement of understanding, gOod-
will and international peace through
a world fellowship of business and
professional men united in the ideal
of service"
Among other things, Mr.. Smith
said, Let us encourage whenever
we can discontinuance of silly
ballyhoo. The time is here for bet
ter thinking and a better and more
sympathetic understanding of peo-
pie"
The entire speech reads as fol-
lows:
"InternatiOnal Service"
"To encourage and foster the ad-
vancement of understanding. good
will and international peace through
a world fellowship Of business and
professional men united in the ideal
of service"
This is the sixth ohjacr Of Rotary.
How are we going to apply it?
Understanding does il
mean? If we decide that Japan is all
wrong in the position that she takes
in Manchuria, England is all wrong
on the question of India, that the
five-year plan O: Pmssia is all bunk,
that Delaware is right and England
is wrong. We most likely make the
decision without a sufficient know
ledge or understanding cf the facts.

LEWES-CAPE MAY
FERRY PROJECT
New York Concern Pre-
sents NJ los t Feasible
Plan Yet Offered.

Prospects for the starting of the
proposed ferry line between Lewes
and. Cape May, N. j., reached Opti-
mistic proportions with the visit to
Lewes of representatives of the EX-
cursion Steamboats,, Inc, of New
York, who met with Mayor U. w
Hooker and other prominent citi-
zens and presented the most feas-
ible proposition yet offered for the
long-discussed ferry service.
The New York concern proposed
that the town of Lewes grant
franchise for a site on the bay shore
for the building of proper ferry
terminals, and this has been tactily
agreed to contigent upon satisfac-
tory negotiations with the ferry OPP
orators. Ii is understood that a SIM
liar franchise has been granted them
by the Mape May town authorities.
Former business dealings regarding
the project have involved a large
monetary expenditure on the part of
the two towns interested, which has
not met with the approval of town
officials, and for this reason build
ing of the ferry line has never
reached consummation. The offer of
the New York concern does not in
clude any such local expenditure,
the representative told the Lewes
citizens. The distance between Cape
May and Lewes is twelve miles
across Delaware Bay.
The Excursion Steamboats,, Inc.
headed by w. H. Ellerl, is an or
ganization which owns six steam
screw steamers, the particular
steamer which is offered being the
"Rappahannock," a steel propeller
vessel, 22O feet long, having a 40
foot beam, with speed of about Is
knots an hour. 1t has a capacity for
approximately As automobiles, mo-
tor buses and trucks. Mr.. Ellery
came to Lewes with F. C. StolZ, who
will act as traffic manager, and
Louis Splitter, all of New York.
They told Mayor Hooker they had
been assisted in their investigations
of the ferry project by highway au-
thorities regarding the anticipated
traffic to use the ferry line, and
were informed that the amount of
vehicular traffic would probably
reach around $4,000 a month. short

KENT COUNTY FLOCK
RECORDS SECURED
Results VIII BE Tabulated BY The
County Agent

In order to determine the effect of
poultrymen following certain prac-
tices of management and sanitation
in the raising of their flocks this
year, records are being secured from
a number of poultry farms by Coun-
ty' Agent Russell L. Wilson and II.
S. Palmer, extension pOultryman of
the University of Delaware, who are
working on this better pullet cam
paign in cooperation with H. r. Ba-
ker, poultry disease pathologist of
the State Board of Agriculture.
For the past several years the
growing of healthier chicks was re-
sarded as one of the major projects
in the poultry improvement program
for this State, and some very inter-
esting records have been obtained
showing the practices that are es-
sential to the production of clean
and healthy flocks. While this pro-
gram proved to be beneficial so far
as the young chicks were concerned,
it did not include the study of the
production of pullets into the stage
of growth when they began to de-
Velop into layers.
AS it is the desire of every poul-
tryman to raise the type of pullets
which will develop into vigorous
and profitable egg producers when
the flock is housed for the winter
months, this grow better pullet pro-
gram has attracted the attention of
the leading poultry raisers through
out the State to the extent that
many of them are cooperating with
the extension service in this project.
TO date complete flock records have
been secured from ten poultry farms
in Kent county, and partial records
have been obtained from several
more, with the result that at the
end of this year it is planned to
have complete reports from at least
twent% different farms in this coun-
ty.
These results will be tabulated by
the county agent and the extension
specialist according to the various
practices of sanitation, feeding and
management that have been follow
ed by each of these poultrymen, and
in this manner the value of this
project will be determined in the
raising of better pullets on our Del
aware farms.

CHAS. GROVE BADLY
HURT In AUTO MISHAP
Five Persons Are Hurt In AutOmO-
ki1e Crash In Sussex County

W Charles Grove, 5S years old, was
seriously inJuyeG last Saturday
night about nine o'clock when the
car he was driving along the Mil
ford Greenwood Road, about five
miles from Milford left the road and
crashed into two large trees about
ten feet from the road. Although the
two trees that the car hit seemed
barely far enough apart for "a car
to squeeze between, the car went
about thirty feet past the two trees.
The car was completely demolished
by the impact. Mr.. Grove was taken
TO the Milford Emergency Hospital
by Milton Lydell of Greenwood who
passed the scene some minutes af-
ter the accident happened. Mr..
Grove suffered a compound fracture
of the skull and as the Chronicle
goes to press his condition is still
unchanged and he is given an even
chance of recovery. Mr.. Grove was
along when the accident occurred
and so far no one has been able to
give any cause for the mishap. For
the past two years his health has
not been the best and he has been
subject to heart attacks. 1t is be-
lieved that he might have been
stricken while driving Saturday
night.
Badly Hurt Near GumbOrO
John E. Daisey, 20 years old, of
Gumboro was severely injured last
Saturday night, when he was struck
by an auto driven by Calvin Wells,
10 years old also of Gumboro, on
the State Highway, near that town.
Daisey, who was taken to a Sails
bury hospital, suffered broken
shoulder and a fracture of the right
leg.
Wells is the son of Walter ].

raigned before Magistrate Mustard

TUBERCULOSIS
FUNDS LACKING
Both State SanatOriums
Helpless AS Waiting
Lists Grow Longer.

While the long waiting list of ap-
plicants for admission to Brandy
wine and Edgewood, two State san
atoriums, continues to grow, the
death rate from tuberculosis in Del
aware also increases, according to
information from the Delaware An
ti-Tuberculosis Society.
Doyle Hinton. executive secretary
of the Tuberculosis Society,
said this week: The death rate
from tuberculosis in Delaware has
risen from 6S.2 in 1880 to S6.3 in
1881 per hundred thousand popula-
tion. While the death rate increases.
the list of tuberculosis sufferers
seeking admission to BFandywine
and EdgeWood continues to grow.
until today there are more than a
half hundred sick people begging
for admission to our sanatoriums
where they might have a fair chance
to regain their health, while still
others are being cared for in their
homes as best public health nurses
and volunteer health agencies can
care for them, knowing full well it
is useless to file an application for
to our sanatolia with any
degree of hope of being admitted"
1T is said that Brandywine's in
firmary is filled to overlooking, with
no funds to admit additional pa
tients even if there were empty
beds. Edgewood, a 50 bed capacity
for negroes, is caring
for only % patients because of in
sufficient funds.
"The Wilmington Visiting Nurse
Association says: "We are carrying
the longest list of tuberculosis pa
tiepts at this time that we have
ever had.
I'VE know of homes where a faith.
er, or a mother is making a desper-
ate fight against heavy odds in
which there are from four to twelve
children in constant contact with
infection from their parents; fa-
Tiers and mothers who would glad
by go to the sanatorium to avoid in
fecting their children.
But always the reply comes
back We can't take the patient be-
cause We haven't the funds We can
very accurately predict that a high
per cent of these children will oc-
cupy a tuberculosis bed within the
next 25 years. if these conditions
aren't corrected" concluded Mr..
Hinton.
