PAR[EY MISTAKES
LAID TO AMERICANS
"Divine Gift of Ineptitude'
Blamed for Errors of
Delegation.

By Radio to The Star
LONDON, June 20 The
American delegation to the World Eco
nomic and Monetary Conference since
1t left home has been innocently en-
gagged in starting landslides. Accidental

their pathway have piled trouble upon

when he referred three times to the
Irish Republic in greeting the lord
mayor of Cork at Cobb was innocent
enough, but unfortunate
The fact that the dollar began to
jiggle and dance the day after the

course an unhappy coincidence, but
another accident

The situation here is so acute that
little events cast tremendous shadows.
Nothing is Insignificant. The explana-
ton of the premature release of the
memorandum, signed by Secretary Hull,
suggesting 10 per cent horizontal cut,
which has caused such an uproar. is
simple enough, but is so typical Of the
methods and procedure in vogue among
the American delegates that it will
bear rather an elaborate explanation.
Here, then, is what happened: In
Washington Secretary Hull's advisers,
and the Secretary himself, were seri-
ously interested in a proposal to ad-
vocate a 10 per cent horizontal tariff
cut When they left America, many
members Of the delegation presumed
President Roosevelt would ask Con-
gress for authorization to make certain
reciprocal tariff changes in accordance
with the recommendations at the COM
ing conference.
While at sea, at the press confer
ences held by Henry Chalmers, the
tariff expert of the delegation, this 10
per cent tariff cut was explained at length
and commented upon favorably. Those
taking part in the discussion presumed
President Roosevelt would ask Congress
for authority to make this cut. In

E. S. ANDERSON, OLDEST
DOCTOR In STATE, DIES
Dover Physician Succumbs After
Practicing for More Than s. Years

DR.. Edwin S. Anderson, probably
the oldest physician in the State
died at his home in Dover last
Thursday afternoon. He was SO
years old last January and had been
a practicing physician in Dover for
more than 65 years.
DR.. Anderson was known and be-
loved by thousands of Delawareans.
He continued to practice his profess
sion and to drive his own automo-
bile up until the first of this year
when his health started to fail and
he gave up his practice. However,
he was often seen by neighbors and
friends on the front porch of his
home during the summer months.
DR.. Anderson was born in Mari
eta, Ohio, but after graduating
from medical college he came to
Dover as young man shortly after
the Civil War and had been prac-
ticing continuously until this year.
He was of the homeopathic school.
He was never active in politics
but took an active interest in civic
affairs. He was a member of Union
Lodge, A. F. and A. M. His wife
died some years ago. He is sur
vived by one daughter, Mrs. Henry
I. Beers of Dover. The funeral was
held Saturday morning.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
ON SALE IN NOVEMBER
Two Million Are Ready For Dis.
tributiOn In Delaware

Two million of the 1888 Christ
mas Seals are at the headquarters
of the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
Society being prepared for sale to
the public between Thanksgiving and
Christmas. Mrs. Frank g. Tallman
is chairman of the Christmas Seal
Committee for Delaware.
This year will be the 9th con-
seeutive year that Christmas seals
have been sold i'll Delaware, and
funds derived therefrom used to
carry on vigorous fight against tu-
berculosis," said a member of the
committee. with this disease con-
tinuing to take an increased toll of
lives among our citizens, surely not
one of these two million seals should
remain unsold ON Christmas Day."
The 1888 Christmas seal shows in
black silhouette against orange
background, two figures drawing a
yule log while third blows bugle
to announce the opening of the holi-
day festivities. An innovation this
year is the use of margin at the
bottom of each sheet of 100 seals
for an educational message reading:
Tuberculosis is preventable-Tu-
berculosis is curable." Thus the
public is reminded of the purpose
for which the seals have been sold
for the past twenty-seyen years.
The artist who drew the design for
he 1888 Christmas seal is Hans Axel
Walleen, of Norwalk, Conn. Mr..
Walleen is well known illustrator,
and is an art instructor at Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn.

FUNDS NEEDED TO MAKE
BASEBALL SUCCESS HERE
Dig Deep, Boys, And Help Put The
Milford Club On The Map

A meeting was held Friday even
ing, September Is for the purpose of
organizing a 1884 Milford Baseball
Club. At this meeting various COM
mittees were appointed. These COM
mjttees held a joint meeting one eve
ming this week to devise some plan
by which funds necessary to pro-
mote a club could be obtained. After
much consideration, it was decided
to issue membership cards as one of
the means of raising funds. Parties
delegated to solicit your member
ship will be around to see you; so
give the boys your whole hearted
support and cooperation. The funds
raised in this manner are going to
be used for the erection of a new
grandstand to replace the old one,
and for the general improvement of
the park. Almost everyone is inter
ested in baseball, it is our national
pastime, and the enjoyment of
watching a game goes hand in hand
with the good that it does the men
who play the game. If you yourself
cannot play, you should not deny
yourself the pleasure that comes
from aiding a worthy cause. To you
business men, it brings people into
your town and where there are peo-
pie there is a chance for business.
Dig deep, boys, and help put the
Milford Club on the map as the most
progressive, and best equipped club
on the Eastern Shore.

verse conditions being so well re-
ceived the Jack Mosser Revue is be-
ing given another billing at the
Plaza Theatre, here, on Friday and
Saturday of this week.
This company with an unbroken
success for two years returns to Mil
ford with a galaxy of new talent
This company was voted by the the
atre goers of Milford one of the best
attractions of last year and it is said
it is better this season as they pre-
sent the musical extravaganza "The
Street of Dreams" They have a
Dancing chorus of Georgia Peaches
with a cast of twenty-one.
Many who saw the the show last
year probably remember Clara New
berg who was classed as the best
contortionist that was ever on the
local stage. She returns with them
to Milford during this engagement
with an entirely new and unbeliey-
able act. This girl is from family
of contortionists, her mother and
grandmother being headliners with
this act. Her turns" are sensa-

COACH ELLIOTT HAS
HOPES FOR BIG YEAR
Milford High School Boys Are Dis
playing More Confidence

Under the direction of Herbert Ell
liott, mentor of athletics at the local
high school, the football squad is
having a daily workout. While the
team this year will feel the absence
of such stars as Hall, Govatos,
Roosa, and Johnson, nevertheless a
squad of 25, seventeen of whom are
new at the game, are striving hard
to make the first team, and accord
ing to Coach Elliott the boys are
grasping the fundamentals easier
than in previous years. He attributes
this to the fact that most of the
players have gained knowledge of
the game by attending games last
year. The first game of the season
will be played tomorrow at Will
mington. The probable lineup for
the game will be: Vinyard and Bar
nard, ends; Smoot and G. Thistle
wood, tackles; Russ and Favinger,
guards; Wigley, center; Stevenson,
quarterback; Watson, fullback, and
4. Thistlewood and T. Hinkle, full
backs. Thistlewood and Hinkle have
been averaging so to SIS yard punts,
while Watson kicked go yards from
placement. The boys are in high
feather over the prospect of the
game and seem determined to wipe
out the defeat of last year. The
schedule for this year is the hardest
yet and is given below:
September 30-Wilmington, at
Wilmington.
October Caesar Rodney, at Wy
oming.
October 13-Laurel, at Milford.
October 2O-Dover, at Milford.
October 27-Seaford, at Seaford.

WIN CAMP HONORS
Contingent Enlisted In
Forestry Service Given
Excellent Rating.

Delaware young men who enlist
ed in the Forestry Service, under
the auspices of the State Temporary
Emergency Relief Commission have
won for themselves the highest hon
ors of any of the thousands of
youths that enlisted according to a
report made to the State Commits

the Delaware group. This is the
highest rating given in the service,
there being four other ratings below
it.
These boys who won such high
record are attached to the camp at
Clarkia, Idaho. For their parents
and friends in this State this is
most encouraging news.
The government has now decided
to continue the camps six months
longer and the Delaware boys now
in camp who wish to re-enlist may
do so. Requirements may total 200
The State of Delaware has assign
ed 125 as the first figure for the re-
