APPLE ORCHARDS
IN FULL BLOOM
[COntinusd from First Pagsl

Nassau, ana return to Milford. BY
taking this trip it is possible TO view
many of the orchards both in Kent
and Sussex counties A very pretty
orchard is also located at Cheswold,
five miles north of Dover This or
chard contains approximately 500
acres of bearing apple trees. There
is also a large orchard located on
the road leading from MillsbOro to
Oak Orcl ard and nany large or
chards are located off the concrete
highways both in the Bridgeville
and Dover sections.
The orchar6ists in this State take
particular pride not only in the
beauty of the blossoms, but in the
well kept condition of the trees and
il tense ultiVation Of the soil IL is
indeed wonderful to see the large
number of apple orchards in Della
ware when the trees are in full
bloom. They are well pruned, fertil-
lied, and the ground is cultivated
and practically free from weeds.
The early blooming varieties of
apples opened in full bloom the mid
die of this week and with present
weather conditions the late bloom
ing varieties will be in full bloom
the latter part of this week.
If any one desires additional in
formation, DR.. ]. F, Adams, VIII
mington, Delaware, or W. T. Derrick
son, State Board of Agriculture, Do
yer. Delaware, will be glad TO give
the location of the man ylarge or
chards throughout the State or to
plan additional routes along well
kept country roads so that the vis-
itors may have the opportunity TO
get off the concrete highways ana
drive more leisurely through the
beautiful orchards.

Pleased With Young Men
The Commission members were
pleased with the reports concerning
the health of the young single men,
between IS and 25 years of age, who
have enlisted in the emergency con-
servation program, provided by the
government, which embraces work
in the forests of the United States.
Recruits from New Castle and Kent
counties were found to be in splen-
did condition, and less than half
dozen were refused after the first
examination for some physical de-
ficiency.
Government army officers who in
spected the young men, were high
in their pr%ise of them and stated
they should show even more i'm
proved health conditions the term
ination of their six months work in
the woods.
These contingents but the first of
the allotment of 500 from Delaware
are now in training at Fort dupont,
where they will remain until they
are conditioned for forest work.
Nearly half of the five hundred to
which this State has been assigned
are now under tents at the army
post at Fort DUPONT. Each youth
who enlisted did so voluntarily, and
agreed to have $25 of the monthly
wages they will receive deducted
and returned for use of the parents
and relatives at home, whom they
are trying to support.
One of the most encouraging fea-
lures to the commission, was the
enthusiasm with which the recruit
ing of these foresters proceeded. The
boys appeared delighted with the
opportunity afforded them, and be-
cause everything was voluntary in
their enlistment, showed their will
ingness to accept the governments
offer for emergency work of this
character.
Recruits from Sussex county will
be among the next group assigned to
forestry service, as we'll as others
from New Castle and Kent counties.

.SCHOOLFUNDSARE
BLOCKED IN HOUSE
[COnfinHed from FirH Page1


original act provided for an appro-
priation of $$3,O47,190 for each OF
the next two years, or a total OF
$6,094,3 $3.50.
Some of the members questioned
the $2S1,876 increase since the meas
uTe would reduce salaries 10 per
cent, which would mean a saving
estimated in the neighborhood of
100000, but due to the fact that
the decision to defer action, no ex-
planation of this was offered.
Representative Rees said it was
unfair to ask the man or woman re-
ceiVing a small salary to accept the
same reduction as a man or woman
receiving a much larger salary.
DR.. H. V. Holloway, State Super
intendent of Public instruction, said
the bill is practically the same as
those passed at the last three ses-
sions of the Legislature. He said the
amendment providing for salary cuts
had been prepared for the purpose
of meeting what seemed to be a pop
ular demand that school teachers
salaries should be reduced. He said
the teachers were willing to accept
cut, even though they are the last
to receive an increase when in
crease were made.
He explained that the 10 per cent
salary reduction would apply under
this bill to the highest and the low
est salaries in the school system.
He pointed out, however, that if
those receiving $1,000 a year, or less,
were excluded from this salary cut,
then the Legislature should add $780,
900 a year to the appropriation to
make up for what would be lost by
eliminating those in this class.
Mr.. Scott declared he did not pro-
pose to cut any teachers pay or to
do anything that would impair their
efficiency or the effectiveness of the
public school system. He thought it
unfair to ask the members to pass
a bill they know nothing about.
Mr.. Van Solver reminded him this
bill has been before the House for
weeks and that two months ago the
budget committee worked on this
appropriation.
Mr.. Scott, however, insisted, they
defer action and his motion to this
effect prevailed unanimously.
An appropriation of 5325,000
year for each of the next two years
for the transportation of children
attending the public schools of the
State is provided for in bill passed
by the House Monday afternoon by
vote of S2 to 3. Representative
Hughes, Pryor and Thompson voted
against it.
Representative Rees submitted,
and the House adopted, substitute
bill setting up the appropriation as
provided in the original act, but add
ing an additional appropriation of
$4,000 a year to defray the cost of
children attending free
school supported by any church or
religious society.
Under this law, which is passed
every two years, the State Board of
is authorized to contract |
for the transportation of children |
who live too far away from the |
schools to be able to walk to them. !

persal of the galaxieS; there seems no
end to the flood of suggestions. I cannot
say that any of them Except the fore
going relativity explanatory appears to
me plausible. Those which have had
the most prominent backing simply
amount to this: That the Creator made
the world with terrific explosion, and
the fragments-the galaxies-are still
flying away! OF course, this Is hidden
in mathematical formulas and not said
outright. suppose that the meaning
has not been generally realized because
it is considered hardly decent to talk
about the Creation in plain English;
but you cannot prevent your mathe-
matical formulas from talking about it.
Instead of pursuing the argument into
the regions of esthetics, If not OF the
ology, I have sought another way of
settling the question. I have been
occupied during the last three years
with theory which leads to calcula-
ton of the amount of the cosmical re-
pulsion, thus remedying the omission in
the current theory. The calculated
amount is in good agreement with that
found from the observed recession Of the
spiral nebulae. It is this agreement
which makes me feel confident that the
observations have not been misrepre-
sented, that the velocities Of the spiral
pebulae are genuine, and that the dis
Evening star., 1933-12-03

persal of the galaxies Is due to coSmical
repulsion and not to some other cause.
We have been contemplating the vast
system of thousands of millions of
gaIaxies, each an island universe" of
thousands of millions of suns, filling a
volume of space which light takes more
than 1000 million (the reader will be
getting tired of that numberD years
to traverse; and we find this system
dispensing as a puff of smoke disperses.
But it is not the astronomical grandeur
which has drawn me to this great prob
lem. It is because in this dispersal, if
anywhere, lies the key to the existence
Of those mysterious twins which we find
at the other extreme of the scale Of
Nature electron and the proton.
Naturally, cannot give here the rea-
soning which so closely unites the great
est and the smallest things in our
experience. I can only give one OF the
many considerations which have had
to be woven together.
FOREMOST Of these considerations is
relativity. You cannot talk about one
object without having in mind some
other object for comparison. If you
try to describe its size you must have
In mind the size of something else for
comparison: II it Is moving, 1t Is NOV
ing toward or away from something.
Evening star., 1933-12-03

Now, physics is always striving to
resolve the complex phenomena of our
experience into simpler elements. 1t re-
solves gross matters into atoms, and the
atoms into protons and electrons. At the
same time, it has to simplify the COM
parison object-for without an implied
comparison object its statements would
be meaningless. The Simpliflcation OF
the comparison object proceeds in the
other direction; it is made more and
more universal, until it is the universe
itself-an idealized universe with irregu-
larities smoethed out, but not so much
altered as to be unrepresentative Of the
existing universe.
Thus the end of the process of SIM
plification is a combination Of the
greatest and the least things in our
experience-an electron compared with
the universe. or the universe compared
with an electron. I have, as it were,
taken the simplest equations of physics
that describe the electron compared
with the universe) and looked at them
from the other end to see what they
have to say about the universe (com-
pared with an electron); and among
other things find they tell me all about
the force dispensing the universe.
It was not possible to proceed without
dealing at the same time with the re-

lation of the proton to the electron;
so that the calculation furnished both
the numerical value of the cosmical re-
pulsion and the ratio of the masses
of the electron and proton. The theory
showed that the proton ought to be
1916 times as heavy as the electron;
this is as nearly as we can tell in agree
ment with observation.
IT ALSO showed that the speed Of re-
cession of the distant galaxies due to
cosmical repulsion ought to be 780 in
the usual astronomical unit of reckon
ing, subject to some diminution (prob-
ably unimportant) due to the counter
acting effect of the mutual attraction
of the galaxies. The value found by
observation Is $50, but is subject to
considerable uncertainty.
In estimating the worth of this rough
agreement it is to be remembered that
prior to this calculation we were un-
certain whether cosmical repulsion
might not turn out to be million or
billion times too small. Finally, as a
casual product of the calculation, it
appears that the total number Of cleo
irons and protons in the universe is
about one with seventy nine noughts
after it; but this time no one seems
to have counted them independently
to prove whether the calculation is right.
