Of prOphesy and experimentation, a

"The ocean air field" says a bull
letin from the National Geographic
society, twill be the Westfalen, a
5.120-ton vessel which has been
successfully used in experiments in
the North sea.
THE Westfalen has been con

floating island by a German air
transport company which owns and
operates many of Germany's lead
ing air lines" continues the bull
letin.
THE proposed air route on which
the Westfalen will be used will
bring Rio de Janeiro. Buenos Aires,
and other cities Of South America
within five days flying time Of Ber-
lin. The first section of the route
lies between Berlin and Cadiz,
Spain; the second between Cadiz
and Bathurst, Gambia, on the west
coast Of Africa; and the third will
be the 1.950-mile transatlantic sec

buco (Recife). easternmOst city Of
the South American continent.
"Waterplanes will be used on the
second and third sections. The
Canary islands form an emergency
landing place for the second sec

nambuco. however. the Atlantic
ocean is without Islands. and the
Westfalen will be anchored some
where between these cities.

FRESHMEN UP
AT DELAWARE
Opening Program at Univer-
sity of Delaware, Newark,
Begins Tomorrow
L A r. G E ENROLMENT

Arrangements have been COM
pleted by Dean George E. Dutton
for the Freshman Week program
which will open at Delaware Col
lege, University of Delaware, to-
morrow Thursday,an continue un-
til Sunday. Failure on the part
of any freshman to attend all the
exercises as planned in the pro-
gram will be considered sufficient
reason to cancel the prospective
students enrolment. Freshman
Week provides an opportunity for
the incoming students to meet the
members of the faculty and be-
come acquainted with the college
surroundings before the actual
opening of the college on Septem-
ber 25. While some of the pro-
spective students may enroll at
the last minute it is expected the
enrolment will be slightly smaller
than last year. Upper classmen
will register on September 25, and
classes will start the following
day Thursday morning, the op-
ening of Freshman Week, will be
devoted by the new students to
registering under the direction of
the faculty advisers. The arts and
science students will fill out their
registration cards in the Lounge
Room of Old College, engineering
students in Evans Hall, the En-
gineering building, and agricul-
tural students in Wolf Hall. Fol
lowing this the "freshies" will pay
their term dues, have their photo
graphs taken for college records
and go to the gymnasium for a
physical examination under the
directions of the military depart
ment. At 1.30 o'clock Thursday
afternoon the freshman will gath
er in Wolf Hall where they will
be welcomed by DR.. Walter Hulli-
hen, president of the university,
and announcements and explana-
tions will be made by Dean Dut-
ton. There will be several lectures
during the following days of
Freshman Week and also some so
cial features. The annual convo-
cation exercises will be held at
o'clock Monday afternoon, Sep

NEW DEVICES
TO AID PLANES
Array of Instruments Tell OF
Every Maneuver Air
Liners Make
BIG ADVANCE IS MADE

Chicago.-When the pilots of the
new three-mile ea-minute transport
planes on the New York Chicago
Pacific coast airway sit down at
their desk" in the "office" of the
air liner, they have approximately
forty different instruments and con-
trolls in front of them to aid in the
operation and navigation of the
plane.
When the coaSt-to-coast airway
was first started by the Post Office
department nearly a decade and a
half ago, pilots flew planes equipped
with only one navigation instru-
ment. That was a compass, and it
was none too accurate at that
Today the pilots of the new coast
forecast plane have an array of in
struments to tell them of every
maneuver the air liner makes,
whether it is turning. climbing or
gliding, how fast and at what ele-
vatiOn it is flying, the direction of
fight, the speed and many other i'm
portant points about the perform
ance.
Included In the instrument install
lation are three of the newest aids
to air navigation, and their func-
tions are duplicated by other de-
vices included on the panel. These
include the artificial horizon, show
ing the exact attitude of the plane
in flight, the sensitive altimeter, re-
cording elevation in hundreds, as
well as thousands of feet, and the
directional gyro, constantly indicat-
ing the exact course of flight. re-
gardless of any disturbing move
ments of the plane.
A feature of the plane is the COM
bination of red flashing lights and
a powerful horn which go into ac-
tion to warn the pilot If they should
attempt to land with the landing
wheels folded back into retracted
position.

Subsoil Farming Is Loss

Subsoil farming Is an impoverish-
Ing type Of agriculture. 1t is bank
rupt farming on bankrupt land. It
means low acreage yields, often five
to ten times below those obtained
from virgin soil. Although produc-
ing a large aggregate OF crops. the
average yields at this low level Of
soil productivity are so pitifully
meager that there is but slim opor-
tunity for the operator to get ahead.

FRANCE IN PARTICULAR

Washington.-A statistical denial
of the claim that loss of world
trade following the World war and
a consequent impoverished condi-
tion on the part of Americas debt
ors makes them unable to meet
their obligations to this country is
contained in a survey of the trade
of los nations submitted to the SEN
ate banking and currency commit
tee by Henry Woodhouse.
AIr. Woodhouse offered statistics
showing that world trade increased
by S24,OO0,OOO,OOO after the war.
The trade of Great Britain alone,
he said, increased 81 per cent in
the years 1926-29 over the 1911-13
period, while Frances commerce,
on the basis of comparison, jumped
84 per cent Italy's increase was
So per cent and Germany's is per
cent.
Face Financial Awakening.
1.-The statements Of the debtor
nations that they all lost in the
World war and have been unable
to recover since will be shown to
be unfounded by evidence that the
amounts of deposits in their COM
mercial banks after the World war
and since have been larger than
they were before the war by sums
far in excess of the amount of
their debts to the United States"
These increases, Mr.. Woodhouse
stated, began after the war and
continued steadily upward until the
stock market crash of 1929.
Nor has the growth in world
trade been the only omen of in
creasing prosperity in Americas
debtor nations since the close Of
the war, according to the New York
economist.
France" he told the committee,
4could give a check for what she
owes, out of the increase In bank
deposited in her banks.
Big French Increase.
THE increase of the deposits of
the French people and industries
after the war;" he went on, "is al
most incredible"
In addition, the economist told
the committee his survey indicat-
ed an increase Of approximately
$5,000,000,000 in deposits in British
banks over the pre-war level Ger
many's increase In commercial
bank deposits since the close OF
the war has amounted to 1924 per
cent, he said.
81 believe" Mr. WoodhOuse con-
tinued. that you would find that
1t Is possible for the nations to
pay. They could have paid the en-
tire amount by now. The gold re-
sources of the large debtor nations
are larger than are represented.
They have great resources besides
those reported by their central
banks. As far as / have been able
to ascertain the debtor nations

THIS representation OF what the
! world will offer the wheat farmer
for his wheat shows clearly the rela-
tionship between supply and price.
Since 1928, when the world supplies
Of wheat first became burdensome
the price has been low for the most

low. the world will pay good price
for wheat, but when supplies are too
big, the world won't pay as much.
As the supplies (shown by the black
bars) have climbed. the price (repre-

lower. The wheat administration
seeks to bring the wheat supply Of

the United States into line with de-
mand by reducing acreage, and thus
to make the price nearer parity. that
is. the point at which the return
from a bushel of wheat will buy as
much as it did in the pre-war period,
19O9-1914. The 1893 crop year is not
far enough advanced to show def
nitely what prices will be.

HORSE MALADY
TAKES TOLL
Veterinarians Classify Epi,
demic Which Is killing
Animals
FARMERS FEAR RUIN

Classification of the disease
which has recently smitten the
horses of Delaware, Eastern
Maryland, and Southern New Jer-
sey as a form of sleeping sickness
to which humans are not norm
ally susceptible has been made
by DR.. G. @. Palmer, Professor Of
Animal Husbandry at the Univer-
sity Of Delaware, and DR.. Morris
Zurkow, a veterinarian of Dover.
The spread Of this new epidemic
has taken SO large a toll of horses
of these areas that it is feared
many of the smaller farmers, al
ready suffering from the severe
crop loss from the storm of sew
eral weeks ago, will lack means Of
properly tilling and cultivating
their farms. Mosquitoes, these
two veterinarians have found, car
ry the virus, or germ of the dis
ease. According to their theory,
the recent introduction of the dis
ease into New Jersey was caused
by the wind carrying mosquitoes
across the river, or by mosquito
biting an afflicted Delaware horse
while it was in Jersey and then
stinging a native animal.

Hope to Halt Spread

Meanwhile these scientists are
working day and night, hoping
that they may find a method of
effectively stemming the rapid
spread of the disease. In partic-
ular are they anticipating encour-
aging word from colleagues in
California, where similar cases or
this disease among horses have
struck a heavy blow. On the
West Coast there are two cases on
record of the germ attacking hu-
mans. Here in Delaware no per-
sons have been suffering from the
epidemic.

Farmers Fear Ruin

Many farmers, DR.. Palmer fears
may be forced to the wall by the
death of their horses, because
breeders, thinking that the ma
chine had replaced the beast bur
den, curtailed their supply Of hors-
es. Consequently the price is SO
high that the numerous farmers
who had once more turned to the
old method of working the soil,
not able to afford gasoline or re
pairs to their tractors, cannot re-
place the animals now all-import-
ant priced at about $3.50. Having
Just returned from survey of the
State with DR. Zurkow, DR.. Pal
mer brought with him samples of
the blood of three diseased an
imals. These he injected into
three guinea pigs for the purpose
of studying the action Of the
virus with the hope of being able
to develop a serum which will pro
tect the horses. Fatality among
horses stricken Is ABOVE ~ per
cent. The brain is the part Of the
anatomy that is attacked by the
ordination, finally becoming par
alyzed. Horses suffering from the
sickness, says DR.. Palmer, are q
pitiable sight. They often stag
ger with a swimming motion
along a fence, never turning until
a bend forces them to, or lean
against their stall, without NOV
ing, for days at time, until
they finally pass through the last
agonizing throes. Among the
symptoms are twitching, nervous
movements of the muscles, and a
pendulous projection Of the lower
lip. 'Encephalomyelitis" is the
name given to the scourge. Com
monty it is called blind staggers."
Incorrect diagnosis resulted in the
belief that it was 'botulism," or
forage poisoning, or cerebral
spinal meningitis"

Highland Club Play to be
Presented Friday Night
HIGHLANDS

The Highlands Dramatic club
play will be presented on Friday,
December %, at 8 o'clock at the
Highlands clubhouse. "Here Comes
Charlie" is the name of the play,
which promices to be as good as
the production of last year, "The
Antics of Andrew" Children may
attend the dress rehearsal on
Thursday afternoon at 4:30.
The cast is made up, of Nora
Malone, Mrs. Fred Giles; Officer
Tim McGrill, Laurel Tippie; Mrs.
Fanny Farnhorn, Mrs. Vern Com
belle; Larry Elliott, Albert Knight;
Ted Hartley, Anthony Mayer; Wv
ian Smythe-Kersey Ella Mae Lie
bell. Uncle Alec Twiggs Gene
Wheelehouse; Charlie Hops, June
Mayer; Mrs. Smuthe-Kersey, Mrs.
Harold Himmelsbach; Mortimer
Smithe-Kersey, Rolla bennett.
When the play opens, Larry Ell
lott, young and unmarried, dis
covers that he is about to have a
child put into his keeping. The
situation is not to his liking, but
he feels q sense of duty forces him
to agree, so he undertakes the re-
sponsibility.
However, when Charlie arrives
and turns out to be girl Of II,
instead of the boy he expected,
things begin to happen. He is in
bad with his fiancee, Vivian, and
her heightened mother, but feeling
sorry for Charlie, he cannot turn
her out. Charlie and her uncle are
nothing but "hill-billies" when
they arrive but conditions change
in more ways than one, as the
scenes go on, and the problem is
finally solved, with plenty Of
comedy along the way. You can't
afford to miss it.
