DOLLAR DAY IN WHINING
TON, DEL.

Wednesday, February Sth,
will be the Spring Dollar Day
in Wilmington under the aus
pieces of the Mercantile Section
of the Chamber of Commerce
and affiliated stores, which will
be designated by the display of
the official emblem of the Sec
tiOn which will be shown
prominently in display win
dows and on counters within
official stores. This day will
be the outstanding opportunity
for shoppers from all parts of
the Peninsula and surrounding
territory to secure bargains in
a wide variety of merchandise
seasonable at this time, or of
staple use. Dollar Days have
been conducted under the aus
pices of the Wilmington Cham
Der of Commerce for twenty
years, and have become widely
known, throughout the entire
country, as a remarkable bar
gain event where real, absolute
bargains are given to every
one.
Unusual efforts have been
made by the retailers affiliated
with the Mercantile Section to
make this the premier Dollar
Day of the long series, and for
weeks purchasing authorities
CT these stores have been
combing wholesale markets for
additions to their already wide
ly diversified stocks, in order to
be in a position to give shop
pers the benefit of the highest
possible values at Dollar Day
prices. Undoubtedly this will
mark the highest peak of eff
fort possible to insure taking
ample care of the crowds which
are certain to attend and take
advantage of it, but to see that
they are thoroughly satisfied
with their purchases, and that
these purchases shall represent
real bargains.
These semi-annual Dollar
Days are anticipated with
much pleasure by many thous-
ands of housewives on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula and nearby
points in Pennsylvania, Mary
land and New Jersey. The
number Of visitors from these
places increase with each year,
and each year more ana more
stores are so crowded with
smiling visitors as Outlines to
require the assistance of "traf-
fic policemen to prevent such
congestion that no one could
get near the counters.
Nowadays, said one of
WilmingtOn's prominent re-
tailers, discussing the Dollar
Day operation, people are
looking for-and have a right
to expedite greatest possi-
BILE return for their money,
and the members of the Mer-
camille Section propose to see
that everyone goes home well
satisfied, if it be humanity pos
sible. They will have a wider
range from which to choose,
and greater values than ever
before will be offered.

FOREST FIRE RECORD I'M
PROVED
Reduction In Number And
Size OF Fires In 1882
In County

In County
The Cecil County forest fire
record in 1882 showed almost
1907 Improvement over pre-
vious years according to the
annual report of District For
ester Kenneth j. Seigworth.
Salisbury.
Forty-six fires occurred dur
ing the year compared with 60
in 1881. The burned acreage
was reduced from 1886 to 924
and the property damage was
$2122 or practically the same
as in 1881. Major improve
ment was noted, however, in
reduction of the suppression
cost to $296.55
An increased number of for
est wardens, greater prompt
ness on the part of the county
in paying fire fighting expens-
es, and thorough investigation
of fires during previous sea-
sons were cited as the principal
factors responsible for the
splendid record last year.
The forty forest wardens of
the county were heartily COM
mended for their promptness
in responding to fires and for
their excellent services in sup
pressing them. This service
is especially remarkable when
it is recalled that forest ward
ems are non-salaried public
servants, who are ready to
leave their personal affairs and
respond to fires at any time, I"
continued the report.
Causes of the 1882 fires were
given as: smoking 20, incen-
diary s, railroads 8, nliscellan-
eous 5, brushburning 4, I'M
known 1. 1t was added that
each of the incendiary fires
was thoroughly investigated by
representatives of the Forestry
Department although in no
case was there sufficient evil
dence for criminal prosecu-
ton.
The largest fire burned 535
acres. 1t occurred near Rock
Springs on April 20. Nearly
seventy Maryland men were
needed to control it besides
several fire fighters from the
Pennsylvania side of the State
line.
Attention was called that the
average Cecil County blaze
burned twenty acres or 4 acres
more than the average for the
nine Eastern Shore. Counties.
The record established in fight
ing the 221 fires in the East
ern Shore District was said to
be one of the best in the coun-
try and by far the best ever es-
tablished in the District.
Educational activities of the
Forestry Department have UNI
doubtedly been responsible for
reduced number of fires and
for better cooperation on the
part of landowners, the report
states.
There are $4,000 acres of
woodland in Cecil County. The
goal of the Department is re-
duction of the annual acreage
to SO acres or One-tenth of one
per cent of the total. The
burned acreage in 1882 was II
per cent the report showed.

QUEER REQUESTS
 MADE FOR LOANS
One Suggestion From Cir- GUS Owner Asks Officials
 to Refinance Show

Portland, Ore. (UP)-Obtaining loans from Uncle Sam on public works projects seems to be a fa- vorite pastime of dreamers, inven- tors and would-be billionaires.
 Some of the ideas for putting to work the public works dollar rival those of Jules Verne. Here are a few made public by the northwest district PWA board.
 One militarist suggested con- struction of a fleet of concrete battleships. Thousands of men would get work building the dread- ,naughts, which the inventor guar anteed to float, and America would ''rule the waves"
 Another wanted to build a steel tower a mile high, containing 48 platforms each named after a state. A runway for motorists would lead to the top.
 The owner of a broken-down circus wanted a government loan to refinance his tent show. He offered three elephants to Uncle Sam as security.
 A mathematician wanted a rock ct ship constructed for trip to the moon. Much money could be spent and science possibly bene- fited.
 A town of 1000 residents want ed 8 loan to build a maternity hospital equipped to handle 1000 births 8 year.

Unable to avoid the animals rush, Gross was gored in the ab- domen and thrown to the ground. When the bull continued to maui her husband, Mrs Gross attempted to drive it away but succeeded only in attracting it's rage to her. After she had been thrown to the ground, her screams brought her stepson and farm hand. Gross was dead when picked up, and Mrs Gross suffered a possible skull fracture, broken rib and other injuries. At a special meeting of the town selectmen the bull was ordered shot. s

Texas U. Museum Curator
 Finds One Type in Every Ten Graves

Austin, Tex. (UP)-Texas abo- rigines were great pipe smokers, A. T. Jackson. curator of the. Uni- versity of Texas archaeological museum, has discovered. The de- auction comes from the large number of pipes found during in- vestigations. One grave out of ev- cry ten contains a pipe.
 Jackson has made some obser- vations of the Indian traits in pipes. An average of one pipe in siv has a fiat bottomed stem or a flat base, enabling the pipes to remain upright when placed on 2 surface.
 Different types of pipes come from different sections of the state. One found in Henderson county has some unusual fea- lures. Near the rim can be seen the remnants of what apparently were two handles.
 There are few efiigy pipes in the collection, though some suggest tho likeness of horned owl. bird wings and moccasins. Most of tho pipes are bowls with removable stems. though the stems, which were of more perishabie material. have not been found. Sixty-nine par cent of the pipes that have been found are decorated in some way. Coloring matter has been used on a number. Many of the decorated pipes have designs sim- far to those used on earthen ves- sAla. .ea ,,t
