RUDY VALLEE SHAKEN
UP; GIRL HURT In DEL.
Miss Alice Faye Slightly Hurt When
Car Turns Over

Rudy Vallee, famous crooner and
orchestra director was badly shaken
up but uninjured and his companion,
Miss Alice Faye, a singer with his
orchestra was badly cut over the
right eye and suffered several
bruises about the body Monday
morning about AIS o'clock when
their automobile turned over during
a driving rain storm two and half
miles north of Greenwood.
Miss Faye was taken to the office
of DR.. Gottred Metzler at Bridge
vile by Mr.. Vallee and other mem
bers of the orchestra for treatment,
following which they continued on
their way to Virginia Beach where
they are scheduled to fill an engage
ment, ..,...-S :.
According to information obtained
from members of the party, Mr.. VAL
lee was driving his sedan with other
members of the orchestra in other
cars following. They were on their
way to Virginia Beach from Atlantic
City and had been driving all night.
During the heaviest of the down
pour of rain Mr.. Vallee's car sud-
denly skidded partly off the road. In
trying to pull the machine on the
road again, it turned over. Miss
Faye, who was riding with the
crooner, got the worst of accident.
Fortunate, the automobiles in
which other members of the orches-
ira were riding in the rear of the
vallee car, were far enough behind
to avoid striking the machine. Mr..
Vallee was not injured, and was
soon able to get Miss Faye. who was
somewhat dazed, out of the machine.
Other members of the orchestra
party took her to DR.. Metzler's office.
After Miss Fayes' wounds were
dressed, the whole party continued
on toward Norfolk, but Mr.. Vallee
left his machine in a Bridgeville
garage for repairs.

Boardwalk At RehObOth
And Batter Cottages.

The worst gale in half a century
lashed and battered the Delmarva
Peninsula for more than "a hours
Wednesday, completely isolating
large areas, flooding beach resorts
and inland towns, running crops,
demoralizing the population and do
ing damage that is expected to
mount into millions of dollars.
Deepening fears we're held for the
safety of residents in Laurel when
hours passed and faint calls by radio
were the only reports received from
that area. The latest radioed report
relayed by Baltimore to DR.. Robert
w. Tomlinson's station here was:
Condition of emergency exists and
help is needed"
Meagre reports received by radio
from there indicated that part of the
town was flooded and that the lake
there had risen 20 feet.
All persons were ordered to eva

of a mile section of the boardwalk
gave way under the terrific batter
ing of waves which poured far in
to the town. The National Guard
Camp nearby was flooded
Ocean resorts in Delaware and
Maryland were evacuated as huge
waves poured in, smashing board
walks and flooding cottages. Ocean
City, Md, which is on an island, was
flooded to a depth of three feet an

a bridge was carried away at 6
O'Clock Wednesday night.
Mountainous waves smashed over
the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach,
undermining its substructure and
tearing away steps leading to the

boardwalk was carried away. The

DISEASE AFFECTS
HORSE-CHESTNUT
Leaf BlOtch Explained-NOt To Be
Confused With Chestnut Blight

According to State Forester, W. S.
Taber, property owners or others
noticing the brown and discolored
condition of leaves on horse-chest-
nut trees need not become unduly
alarmed or fear that the chestnut
blight has transferred its attack to
the horse-chestnut tree. The two
diseases are not in any way similar,
nor does the horse-chestnut tree bear
any relation to the American chest
nut. The disease attacking the leav-
es of the horse-chestnut, Ohio, and
yellow buckeye is known as the
buckeye leaf splotch and is not to
be confused with the chestnut
blight, which is primarily a bark
disease attacking true chestnut spe-
cies only. Scientifically, the leaf
blotch disease is known as .Guig-
nardia aesculi, and infected trees
first show irregular discolored splot-
ches usually on the outer edge of
the leaflets. These splotches later
turn brown and are surrounded by
a yellowish discolored zone which
blends into the green part of the
leaf. AS the disease progresses, the
entire affected area turns brown and
becomes dried and brittle, often
causing the leaflet to curl.
The severity of the attack on
trees throughout the
State may be attributed to the wet,
weather experienced this year. Dur

rainy weather is especially condu-

Federal Agents Have Not Begun
Checkup OF Recovery Slgners

A warning to business men
against various forms of racketeer-
ing which have made their appear
ance since the arrival of the Blue
Eagle. and to the general public
| against giving credence to rumors
concerning reputable business
houses in Delaware, has been issued
by Gerrish Gassaway,- Delaware
chairman of NRA.
Certain persons are Industrious
ly spreading stories throughout the
State asserting that certain large
establishments have been fined by
Federal inspectors for violation of
the NRA code and doing irreparable
injury to these businesses" Mr.. Gas
saway said.
"The public should understand
that such statements are utterly
false. There is no such thing as a
fine penalty imposed under the blan-
ket code. Violators are. punished
by the withdrawal of the Blue Eagle
insignia and then left to the mercy
of the public. The insignia can be
withdrawn only by General John
son, the Federal administrator, and
then only in proven cases of viola
ton.
Unless this insignia has been
withdrawn from display by the gov
ernment the public may assume that
any establishment is observing the
Presidents agreement"
One of the rackets Mr.. Gassaway
warned against was the sale of in
sigma and the practice of high
pressure statesmen trying to compel
small merchants to buy goods of
various kinds by threats and en-
deavoring to sell all kinds of serv-
ices under the guise of the NRA."

NO RULE AGAINST
BLUE EAGLE IN ADS,
GEN. JOHNSON SAYS

Hugh S. Johnson, national
recovery administrator, re-
Getty interpreted his warning
against misuse of the blue
eagle as having no effect on its
publication in newspaper ad-
vertisements.
Another misinterpretation
is in relation to a notice warn
ing people against racketeers
who are attempting to get
people using the blue eagle to
pay for inclusion i'm a so-called
roll of honor" Johnson said.
Some people have construed
this as preventing newspapers
from selling advertising space
for the announcement of blue
eagle firms and individuals.
THAT is an absurdity.
"The NRA wants all public
ity given to the use of the en-
blem and, obviously, there are
no strings on the newspapers
as to the form, shape, size or
character of their ads so long
as the advertisers are bona
fide members of the blue eagle
fraternity"

and after passing a short distance into the interior of Oregon, they again turned southward to Tule Lake. now Federal Migratory Bird Refuge, on the line between 1 Oregon and California. No less than 16 banded birds were taken
 in this region. indicating that many selected this area for their winter quarters Another conting- ent (probably the largesD, contin- ued southward into the Sacramen- to Valley of California. where they spent the winter chiefly in the vicinity of the big Spaulding ranch near Willows Twenty-sev- en banded beese were killed in this immediate vicinity while several f others were taken at nearby points
 A few of the migrants traveled south to the San Joaquin Valley as three banded birds were recovered from the region about Los Ramos
 Two years later, in the summer of 1926, Nitric was again in AL aska, and this time he worked up the Porcupine River to the Old Crow River in Yukon Territory Here he was able to place bands on 30 Hutchins' geese, close rela- tives of the Cackling and Canad- ian geese, and in size about inter- mediate between them.
 Eight of these birds were sub sequently recaptured. Strangely enough, no two of them were kill ed in the same State or Province. The migration path of Hutchins's goose is probably entirely in the interior across the Prairie Pro- vinces of Alberta and Saskatche- wan, some undoubtedly continuing south across our own Plains States since this form of the Can- ada Goose is fairly common in the Mississippi Valley in migra- ton, and many are known to win ter on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It appears. however that, like the Cackling goose, other in- dividuals from eastern Alaska and Yukon Territory prefer the Pacific Coast States for winter quarters. While the records are not suffic- tent to warrant a positive state ment to this effect, the single re- coveries reported from Idaho, Ne vada, Washington. Oregon, and California, are most suggestive. Additional banding must be done before we shall know in full the migrating travels of these birds.

BEWARE THE COUCH OR
 COLD THAT HANGS ON

! Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new med ical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed m m branes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical author ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood and attacks the seat of the trouble.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of persist ent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis. and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu, Your own druggist is authorized to refund your money on the spot if your cough or cold is not relieved by Creomulsion. adv

This Territory is one of the greatest breeding grounds on the continent, and her sportsman and conservationists, to- gether with those from the Pa cific Coast States, have a pecul- jar responsibility not only to safe guard these nesting areas. but also to make their importance. known to others, and to insure adequate breeding stock of the different spe- cies. There is no more important step than the systematic banding of both adults and young on the Alaska breeding grounds.

By FREDERICK C. LINCOLN Biologist United States Biological

The breeding range of one form -eff the -Canada- -gnnse is confined to Alaska. This is the diminutive Cackling goose, which nests on the coast and islands of the Territory from the Aleutians to Point Bar row. With severely circum- scribad breeding place it has also, as we shall see, an extremely linn tied winter range.
 Before the ice went out of the Yukon River in the Spring of 1924, c. J. Nitric of the Biological Survey, led an expedition which started at Fairbanks and traveled down the river by dog team. By the first of May the party was encamped at Hooper Bay and this region was the scene of their la bors for the following three months. In the course of their work 250 Cackling geese, mostly young birds, were marked with the numbered bands of the Biological Survey. Students of birds and sportsmen were now to find out something definite about the trav- els of one species of Alaskan bird.
 The Biological Survey has re- ceived reports of the capture of more than 50 of these banded geese. By study of the date it is possible to trace the flight from the breeding grounds to the win ter quarters in the United States, and to show the extent of the area that is utilized by these birds during that season.
 Two were recaptured bsfore they left Alaska, one on Nelson Island a short distance south of the band ing area, and the second on the Ugashik River where it empties in to Bristol Bay. These geese ap- pear to cross the Alaska Peninsula and probably then fly directly over the Gulf of Alaska, as the next record of one of these birds comes from a point 1,200 miles away across the open sea, on one of the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. Southward along the flight line another goose was cap- tured at Copalis Beach, Washing ton, and two or three others were reported from the general region of the mouth of the Columbia River. At this point the young geese left the vicinity of salt wa ter for the first time in their lives
