Wild LIFE Plan
OF DELAWAREIS
CALLED UNSOUND
State Retards U. S. Pro-
gram, Seth Cord o n
Charges At Dover.
URGES MORE FUNDS
Head OF National Body
Flays Lack OF Team
work.

"Delaware's wild-life restoration
program is not yet on a sound ba-
Sis" according to Seth Gordon, pres
ident of the American Game AssO-
citation, who addressed a gathering
of sportsmen, land owners and leg
islators at Dover last Thursday.
"The neighbOring states of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and
Virginia have all made most excel
lent progress, yet Delaware lagS la
mentally behind in her game and
fish work.
"Wild-life restoration is husi-
ness, and nothing else. Delaware is
the home of more large corpora
tiOns than any other State, and yet
her conservation work is being run
on a peanut stand basis. Frankly,
Delaware is one of the weakest
links in our national conservation
chain.
Sees Teamwork Needed
This is no rejection upon the
Delaware Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners and her chief game
warden, but it is a reflection upon
your outdoor people. including the
general public. who fail to appre-
ciate the opportunities they arc ne
glecting to help do real conser-
walton job.
until Delaware gets down to
brass tacks and puts her wild-llte
work on a sound business basis, her
game and fish progress will con-
tinue to be distressingly slow.
There is burning need for
Statewide teamwork and cohesion.
I fear that in the past there has
been entirely too much sectional
jealousy and general failure to
pull together for the common good
Among the things which Della
ware, needs badly are the following:
"a large membership of represen-
tative citizens in every community
i'm the ranks of the Delaware Game
and Fish Protective Association with
close teamwork between the land
owners and the spOrtsmen.
"a new conception of Delaware's
game and fish needs, and the bene-
fits that will accrue to the people
as a whole.

it. Heated words passed between
them and things became so lively In

Thomas picked up chair and
struck Magistrate Cohee over the
head.
This ended the charges against
him i'm Magistrate Cohee's Office. but
within less than an hour he was ar

additional $4,000 bail being placed
against him.

Water Was Pumped From Marshalrs
Mill Pond

The Carlisle Fire Company was
called out about 7:45 last Friday
night to extinguish fire on the
farm OF Herman Sharp, three quart
ers of a mile east of Milford. The
fire was in a hay stack in the rear
of a large dairy barn and is beliey-
ed to have been caused by spontan-
eous combustion.
Water was pumped from Mar
shall's mill pond and both trucks
had to be used in order to have en-
ough hose to reach from the pond
to the seen of the fire. The flames
were dangerously close to the barn
and the firemen did excellent work
in keeping the barn from catching
fire.
In appreciation for the services
that the members of the fire com
pany rendered. Mr.. Sharp donated
$25 to the company.

STATE INSURANCE

$500 Of Total Used For
Supervision, U. S. Sur
vey Shows.

Delaware insurance policyholders
paid in 1881, a total of $275,604 in
special State insurance taxes. OF
this amount, only $4,000, or 1923 per
cent, was for insurance supervis-
ion.
The remainder, as shown in a
nationwide survey by the Insurance
Department of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, went into
general revenues, for which policy
holders also are taxed-as are all
other citizens.

taxes may be collected, the National

The Happy Animals.

The difference between q taxpayer
and an animal at the Zoo has been
made plain beyond a doubt. but In such
manner as to raise a nice question
whether 1t is better to be a mere tax
payer or . pampered inmate of the
Zoo.
Work on the Rock Creek Potomac
Parkway, eventually to connect Potomac
Park with the Maryland extension Of
Rock Creek Park by q lovely and ex-
tremely useful highway, means that
something must be decided soon about
the connecting link which runs through
the Zoo. The officials have decided
that q tunnel must be built under the
Eco. or . new roadway run around the
Zoo. For the animals at the Zoo must
not be disturbed at night by the noise
and lights Of automobiles.
Now it is obvious that nothing should
be done to disturb the slumbers of the
animals at the Zoo But suppose the
animals at the Zoo we're mere taxpayers
and property holders? What would be
the procedure then? A tunnel? A new
thoroughfare around the property?
Nonsense! Pihle! The Zoo road would
be widened and paved with concrete
A once quiet. winding roadway would
be turned into q traffic boulevard. The
night would be made hideous by head
lights, horns. gears, motors, and pos
sibly petting parties on the lawn Of the
head citiSen-the lion. And the tax
payers would be assessed for improve
ment" Of the highway. not only the
taxpayers who owned property adjoin-
ing the highway, but those who owned
property half a dozen blocks away.
The antelope. the zebra and the
kangaroo may think they have . tough
time Of 1t. But they can thank their
stars that somebody treats them like
human beings. guards their interests
and protects their sleep. Suppose they
were taxpayers!

immigration Is Negligible.

lmmlgrdtlOn Ii NegllglDle.
From the Santa Monica Outlook
The contrast between present-day
immigration and that of twenty or
thirty years ago Is little short of as
founding.
It has not been many years since
the migration from Europe approx
mated 1,00o, 900 persons annually. Last
year II was hardly 5000, which was
little more than 5 per cent Of the
154,00 who could have been admitted
had they endeavored to come.
The depression doubtless discouraged
many who might have sought homes
and employment here, and the result
was q total immigration that was
negligible.
The effect Of this on population
growth Is noteworthy Estimates are
that the United States is increasing in
population at hardly more than l,000,-
000 per year, or less than one per cent.
Meanwhile, our territory Is far from
being lilled or our resources fully de-
veloped. The policy Of President Roose-
welt in seeking to promote a reversion
OF lands to forests Is striking evidence
both Of this fact and of q trend in
American thought which has far

Contributions to Aviation History

Aviation history continues to be

that they recently covered 30 success

Posts performance Is the most nota-

A Silver Lining.

If 1t be true that every cloud has ,
silver lining, eleventh-hour events have
certainly proved that the collapsing
London Conference is no exception to
the rule. On Saturday representatives
of the worlds silver producing and
holding countries signed solemn agree
ment, the provisions of which seek to
raise the price Of the white metal used
for money by nearly half the popula-
ton Of the globe.
The silver accord, first and only con-
crete achievement Of the ill-starred
conference to date, is due entirely to
the untiring efforts Of United States
Senator Key Pittman Of Nevada. who as
a member Of the American delegation
from the outset conducted. generally
against insuperable odds, negotiations
for rehabilitation Of the world silver
market
The preliminary treaty finally con-
cluded was accepted by India, China
and Spain. the chief holding
countries, whose treasures are bulging
with the white metal, and by the United
States, Mexico, Canada, Australia and
Peru, the five great world producers of
silver. The underlying feature Of the
eight-power pact Is restriction Of
silver sales for four years. Senator
Pittman failed to persuade the con-
ference, in the teeth of the gold bloc s
powerful opposition. to agree to as ex-
tensive use OF silver for monetary pur-
poses as the Senate foreign relations
chairman hoped for, but the Nevadan
feels that the pact ct least will 60 far
toward removing the pressure which has
broken down the price of silver to the
lowest level in history. That is . defi-
mite and valuable accomplishment It
makes 1t impossible to contend that tn.
London Monetary and Economic Con-
ference turned out to be q complete
failure. 1t was at Americas instigation
that silver was placed on the agenda
Our purpose has not been fully realized,
but it has not been totally defeated.
The main objective attained is the
provision that India during the next
four years shall restrict sales of silve,
to an annual average Of $4,000, ,00C
ounces, beginning January l, while pro.
ducing countries are to absorb an equiv
alent amount. India Is the villain oi
the silver piece because Of her unlim-
tied dumping Of the commodity upon the
world market, regardless Of price e-de.
basing effects. The quotas Of silve,
sales to be allotted to producing nations
are still to be fixed. America will take
approximately 100000 ounces an.
nually, the remainder to be absorbed by
the other producing countries.
As soon Is the accord Is ratified by
the constituent home governments and
takes treaty form, there will automat.
ically become effective . London Con-
ference resolution whereby States agree
to cease debasing silver and to increase
where feasible, the use of the white
metal for small coinage purposes.
Congratulations to Senator Pittmar
ON his important success!
