November IL the 1st and I'd Battalions
Of the 5th Marines and one battalion
of the 356th Infantry had crossed the
Meuse and had established a bridge
head on the right bank. The I'd Bat
talon of the 9th Infantry followed
closely. The crossing was accomplished
under a withering fire from the Ger

Marine officers and the killing of %
enlisted men and the wounding of 80
others of the 5th Marines. Maj. Hanna

Battalion of the 5th was still fighting

Maj. Hamilton, who escaped without

BUSINESS HOUSES
COMPLYING WITH
CODE IN MILFORD
[CoHfinued from First Pagel


tories on thirty-five hour manufac-
turing basis on Monday morning.
The John H. MulhOlland Company,
manufacturers of wooden products,
likewise went under the code on
Monday morning. This company has
elected to work forty hours each
week for the present. This they are
allowed to do under the agreement
for any six weeks before January l.,
next. Other plants have likewise
complied with the code. The Milford
Chronicle Publishing Company has
signed the agreement, but owing to
the fact that skilled artisans were
necessary in its operation it was
necessary that the working plan be
held up until proper needed help
could be employed. This has been
done and the new thirty-five hour
schedule for the mechanical depart
ments will be put into effect on
Monday morning. The Chronicle is
reserving its six allowed forty hour
weeks until later in the year.
Before the close of next week it is
more than likely that practically
all of the business houses in Mil
ford will be working under the code.

WILMINGTON DOLLAR DAY
Semi.Annual Special Opportunity
For Unusual Merchandise Bargains
Will Be Held August 8.

Fall Dollar Day in Wilmington
will be observed on Wednesday, Au-
gust 8, under the auspices of the
Mercantile Section of the Chamber
of Commerce and affiliated stores,
which will be designated by the dis
play. of the official emblem of the
section which will be shown promi-
nently in store windows and on
counters within official stores. This
event will mark the outstanding op-
portunity for shoppers from all parts
OF the Peninsula and surrounding
territory to secure bargains in a
wide variety of merchandise season
able just now, or of staple use. Will
mington has conducted these semi
annual Dollar Days for more than
20 years, and they are famous
throughout the country because of
the unusual opportunities offered
everyone.
Unusual efforts have been made
to make this the premier Dollar
Day of the long series, and for weeks
purchasing authorities of these
stores have been combing the whole
sale markets for additions to already
widely diversified stocks, so they
could give shoppers the benefit of
the highest possible values at Dol
lar Day prices. Ample arrange
ments have been made to care for
the crowds which surely will take
advantage of this event, and every
care has been taken to insure that
visitors will have no cause for COM
plant.
Attendance at Wilmington Dollar
Days has become fixed custom
with housewives of the Peninsula,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, and the number attending
increases each year. Often it has
been found necessary to arrange for
traffic police" to handle the crowds
in stores.
In view of the present tendency
toward higher prices, 1t is probable
that this Dollar Day will furnish
the last opportunity for some time
to stock up" homes with necessi-
ties for househould use and personal
wear. This event will be carried
through on Wednesday next, rain or
shine. There will be no advance

way accidents are due to faulty me-
chanical equipment. Campaigns of
the car inspection type will not
make our State one hundred per
cent accident proof but if Delaware
can, by means of this inspection,
cut down or wipe out the ten per
cent of its accidents due to faulty
equipment it will have accomplished
a most worth while objective.
Twice as many cars have been in
spected and approved during the
two weeks of the campaign as were
inspected and approved during the
period of the cam
paign last year. The campaign Off
cials are extremely pleased because
the figures indicate that motorists
