the general increase in prices, can
not be duplicated once the present
supply is gone. Shoppers will find
that many of the items offered are
limited in quantity. Keen buyers
will make a point of visiting their
favorite stores as early as possible
on the opening day.
AS is usual on Dollar Days it is
expected that many shoppers from
out of town will be on hand to take
advantage of the bargains available.
Merchants and the town generally
are making every arrangement pos
sible for the comfort of those out
of town shoppers.
The storestthat are participating
in Salisbury's Dollar Days will all
have on display official signs and
banners so that shoppers may be
sure that when they spend their
money in the accredited stores they
are getting the best value for what
they have to spend.

MILFORD SCOUTS HOME
AFTER CANOE TRIP
[Continned from First Paqel

On Wednesday, August End they
started for Lewes at S.45. At Lewes
the boys met an ex-scoutmaster
from Seattle, Washington, who
towed them with his boat to Re-
hoboth They arrived there at 2.30
D. m. They went swimming in the
ocean at Rehoboth and cooked sup
per and camped overnight at Shaw
Park overlooking the Lewes-Re-
hoboth canal.
Thursday, August 3rd. they left
Rehoboth at a. m. and padded out
of the canal into RehobOth Bay.
They stopped at the Indian River
Inlet Coast Guard Station and were
shown around the station by the
coast guardsmen. From the station
they went to the inlet where they
pitched camp and spent the after
noon and night.
On Friday, August 4th they left
the inlet at S.45 a. m. and with
strong east wind blowing, Scout
master Reedy hoisted the sail on
his canoe and towed the other two
canoes to Sandy Landing, distance
of eight miles, in three hours and
fifteen minutes. They spent Friday
afternoon and night and Saturday
morning at Sandy Landing and left
at 1890 for Oak Orchard.
They intended to spend Saturday
night at Oak Orchard but they were
refused a camping site at Riverdale
so they decided to start the return
trip and camp that night at Indian
River Inlet. They left Oak Orchard
at $50 p. m. and arrived at the inlet
at 6.45 p. m.
They left the Inlet Sunday at 10
a. m, bound for Rehoboth. On the
way they stopped at Camp Della
War;, the boys camp on the west
shore of Rehoboth Bay.
They arrived at RehobOth 1n

of some of the boys who were wait
ing at the canal for them. After
lunch they left and padded to the
mouth of the Broadkiln River where
they spent their last night camp
ing.
Monday, August 7th, the boys left
Broadkiln at 3 p. m. and arrived at
the mouth of the Mispillion River
at $50. They had supper there and
then started on the home stretch,
arriving in Milford at p. m.
The entire trip was made without
any accidents whatsoever. The
first day out some of the boys were
sunburned but that soon turned to
a ruddy tan and by the time the
boys arrived home they all were as
brown as Indians.
Before the trip Scoutmaster
Reedy made a chart of the course
to be taken and this course was fol-
lowed throughout the trip. The boys
kept complete log of the trip and
a copy of this log will be filed in
the troop records.

COMMUNITY PICNICS

People in rural districts quit
playing too early in life and grow
old too soon, according to Miss Lou
ise r. Whitcomb, Home Demonstra-
tion Agent, who has been conducting
a series of community picnics with
extension clubs.
Play, says Miss Whitcomb, is an
important part of boys and girls.
Games furnish the essential require
ment for social development every
where. Play increases efficiency
and makes life more enjoyable. Play,
properly directed, creates the spirit
of good sportsmanship. And the
incest part of it all, she continues
to say, is that 1t is all free for most
of the games played at the picnics
have required little or no special
equipment. But the getting togeth-
er, the planning, and the playing OF
grown-ups and youngsters have GER
tainly helped to create a better COM
munity spirit.
Picnics already held are-August
1, Viola and Rising Sun; August 3,

gust S, FELTON,. Those being planned
for are-August 9, Oak Grove; Au-

FABRICS made entirely or in
part of rayon should be washed
carefully as these fibers are deli
cate, particularly when wet, and
are likely to break under any un-
usual strain or pressure. Heat also
weakens rayon fibers, so that dur
ing both washing and ironing pro-
cesses. only moderate tempera-
lures should be used.
Washing Suggestions
1. Prepare tepid or cool suds.
using mild. pure. white soap or
flakes. (Neuer use home made soap.l
A little borax will soften very
hard water.
2. Wash by gently squeezing
suds through fabric. Do not rub.
II fabric is badly soiled. soak in
suds for some time before wash
ing or put through several fresh
suds until clean.
8. Squeeze suds out gently by
hand and rinse several times in
clear lukewarm water. Squeeze
dry as possible without twisting
or wringing.
Drying Suggestions
l. Dresses may be rolled in a
towel to remove excess moisture.
Larger articles such as bedspreads.
should be hung with weight evenly
divided on both sides of line.
2. Knitted garments tsweaters,
particularly should be laid out fiat
on clean cloth. stretched or pushed
to fit measurements made before
washing. Undergarments may be
hung evenly over line.

DOLLAR DAY AT SALISBURY

Dollar Days, that semi-annua1 in
stitution that the merchants of Sal
isbury have built up over a period
a dozen or more years, fall this
month on August is and 10.
Merchants all over town are busy
ordering, selecting, pricing and ar
ranging their stocks so that they
will be ready for the rush of shop
pers when their stores open on the
big days next week.
Salisbury merchants are bending
every effort to make the Dollar Days
this fall a tremendous success. From
food to shoes and drugs to dresses
there will be a selection of bargains
that will please everyone. Food
stores are planning to offer special
bargains in good things to eat. Res

special meals, mems stores are
planning attractive offerings to give
the menfolks something to do while
the womenfolks browse around
among the frills and furbelows.
General Hugh S. Johnson, the man
who is responsible for. increased
wages now being paid to many en-
ployees under the N. r. A, has
stated that now is the time to buy
goods because before very long they
will have gone up so much in price
that more money will be saved by
buying than by not buying. Sails
bury merchants are making every
effort to see that every purchase is
a real bargain and a survey of the
situation shows that they will be

which they purchased at low price,
but which today they cannot replace

to sell it for on Dollar Days.

Quality All-Important
in Selection of Soap
BY RUBY BAKER

The weekly wash is q good exam
pie of where @pinching on quality"
is costly In the end Women whose
snowy-white washings are the envy
of their neighborhood have learned
the value of buying not cheaply but
well.
When these women purchase q
laundry soap they look for quality
and washing value. They know that
perfect wash depends on the use
of high-grade soap. After all. it's
the ability of the cleansing agents
that gets results.
Many a housewife has found that
a cheap or weak" soap not only re-
quires harder rubbing to ger clothes
clean. but that this hard rubbing
actually harms the fabrics.
Where you buy quality. il makes
little difference in what form a soap
comes. A soap can be any color OF
of the rainbow-without any effect
at all on the whiteness of clothes.
For instance, a certain well-known
laundry soap is golden because that
is the natural color of its combined
fine ingredients. And due to its
greater cleansing energy. this golden
soap gets clothes cleaner-whicb
means whittier.

Savant Names Africa
as Cradle of the Race

The human race was born In Af-
RIGA, where primitive men killed
their own kings In religious cere-
monies, worshiped the sun, spread
designs over huge cliffs, according
TO Prof. Leo Probenius of the Uni
versity of Frankfort, Germany.
The professor claimed to have
found traces of civilization 1900
years old.
What / have found antedates even
the so-called prehistoric man of Girl
, maldi," Professor Probenius stated.
He referred to the skeleton found at
Grimaldi. on the Italian side of the
Riviera, which some scientists claim
to be the oldest existing trace of
man.
'But ] am not studying the exam
Piles of skeletons found, but the man
ner in which these ancient civiliza-
tons expressed themselves. By what
these ancient people have left us in
art and examples of their household
work and industry, we can trace
their origin.
81 trace the age of paintings and
sculpture l fouid at Fezzan to some
1900 years ago. We can deduce
this by Sleir primitive character and
the manner of expression in the
paintings and sculpture" Professor
Probenius said.
"They resemble more than any
thing else the great Egyptian civili-
cations. They show connection
also in their alteration of the sun.
They had human sacrifices and even
had a religious function Of the killing
of their kings, signifying their will
ingness to give up the best in the
| land"
