DELAWARE, DIES
Served in Both Houses OF Congress; !;
Member OF Colonial Family

Former United States Senator L.
Heisler Ball, Republican leader, died
Wednesday morning at his home at
Falkland, near Wilmington. He
was 72.
DR.. Ball, who had represented his
State in both the upper and lower
houses of Congress and was at one
time State treasurer of Delaware,
developed pneumonia about a week
ago. At his bedside, when death
came, was his wife, Mrs. Catharine
j. Ball.
DR.. Ball was a member of an old
and distinguished family. His an
cestors settled in Delaware in pre-
Revolutionary times. The original
homestead was built at Miltown on
a 500-acre tract of land in 1861, and
in 1861 William Penn added a grant
of 500 acres. 1t was on this estate
that DR.. Ball was born on Septem-
ber 21, 1861, son of John and Sarah
Baldwin Ball.

"The housewives of the country

cided that every dollar spent now

sentiment has been reported from
women in all walks of life, through

REJECTS PIE
SHIFT THANKSGIVING

President Roosevelt has re-
jected petitions from various
sales organizations throughout
the country seeking a procla-
nation of Thanksgiving Day a
week earlier this year to give
them more time in which to
promote sales between that
holiday and Christmas.
Stephen T. Early, presiden-
tial secretary, today told re-
porters the reason was the
tremendous confusion that
would result.
Thanksgiving Day this year
falls ON November 80. It was
pointed out even if the presi-
dent was disposed to advance
the date, many states fix it by
law while others do not and
two holidays might result.
It also was held a change
would interfere with railroad
schedules and holiday football
games and the like.
The White House has had
many letters on the subject,
some chambers of commerce
favoring the change and others
opposing it.

FIGHT LOOMS IN
ASSEMBLY OVER
LOANING METHOD
Sentiment Generally Fav-
Ors State Issuing Bonds
For Public Works.
WRONG, SAY OTHERS
State Advisory Board
Cites Instance To Show
Federal Aid is Cheaper.
WRONG, SAY OTHERS

AS the General Assembly conven-
ed in special session on Wednesday
at noon to consider means of rails
ing necessary moneys with which to
carry ON public works two lines of
thought are in conflict as to the best
method of procedure. There is no
doubt but that there is very strong
sentiment throughout the State fav-
orable to Delaware issuing bonds
for the necessary funds. This was
shown by the expressions of mem
bers and persons around the Legis-
lative building as they gathered for
the opening on Wednesday morning.
Those favoring this method of pro-
cedure say that political leaders and
prominent business men who have
been studying the plan whereby
public works projects are financed
in part by the government are said
to have reached the conclusion that
Delaware can borrow money cheap
er in the open market than it could
under the regulations and restric-
tions surrounding loans made by the
government under the National Re-
covery Act. They have pointed out
that the credit of Delaware is GOOD,
that it can borrow money in almost
unlimited sums at 312 per cent and
possibly at per cent whereas Fed
eral loans are made at per cent
and encumbered with restrictions
that, together with the interest rate,
would cost Delaware more than pri-
vate loans.
The State Advisory Board, through
its spokesman disagrees with the
view above outlined. They intimate
that there seems to be a concerted
effort to direct the thought of Della
ware citizens against the Federal
Governments effort in lending mon
sy at AZ over period of years and
giving an outright grant Of 300 of
cost of labor and materials of any
Worthwhile public projects. This
group claims that definite attempt |
to show that the work under this |
Act would be far more expensive
than If handled by the State or gov
erning body itself is being made. AS |
an example that their claim is the |
correct one, the State Advisory !
Board has written the Milford |
Chronicle citing a concrete in
stance wherein both methods Of con-
struction work were figured on the
job.
