Christmas Seals To Be On
Exhibition In Milford Stores

Ruzicka, New York, 1923; Robert G.
Eberhard. New York, 1925.
"One who inspects a complete col
lection of these Christmas Seals,
some of which are exceedingly rare,
can easily trace in the development
of the designs much of the history
of the tuberculosis movement. Seals
for the first four years were purely
decorative. using the holly wreath
vaguely without much thought to de-
velop specific ideas. These were
what we might call the formative
years of the war on the Captain of
the men of Death
"An inspection of all the seals
might suggest that next came an
era of transition, when from 1911
20 1918 the decorative type of design
gradually became submerged in the
pictorial type-Santa' Claus, bring
ing good health, figured prominent
ly; liberty, symbolizing freedom
from disease, was not forgotten.
Then emerged the years from 1920
to the present, when scientific
knowledge and deeper thought were
increasing just as the seals them
selves attained a more definite per-
sonality. Two candles lit the way
in 1926; three minstrels sang song
of hope in 1926. The ship under full
sail charted a course to a destined
port in 1928, and the bell-ringer in
1929 represented the change which
had taken place since the days when
church bells were rung to ward off
pestilence.

I'd know it by the sight of it, I'd
know it by the smell,
I'd know it by the sound of it, and
know it mighty well;
I'd know it if you set me down at
midnight, mid the scent
OF coffee-bags and sugar-bins and
country butter blent.
With eyes shut, l can smell again
the prints upon the shelf
Amid the hickory shirting-you
could do the same yourself,
If you had lived among them in the
days when life was bleak
And all you saw was in the town
say, every other week.
On that side is the candy-I can see
it now, and o,
How good those striped sticks used
to look in days of long ago!
On this side is the muslin, with blue
trademarks printed on,
The bleached and unbleached side
by side, and here's some sleazy
lawn
And dimity that wouldn't sell (they
bought it by mistake),
Some backing. fans, and curry
combs, with hoe and garden

in his seal for 1882, showed two lit
tie singers whose voices are raised,
as are their hopes, for the success
of their continuing protection.
"The designer for the 1888 Christ
mas seal is Hans Axel Walleen, of
Norwalk, Conn. Mr.. Walleen is a
we'll known illustrator, and is an
art instructor at Pratt Institute,
Brooklyn. For his design he uses
two figures in black, silhouetted
against orange background, drawing
the Yule-log, while third blows a
bugle to announce the opening of
the holiday festivities"
In conclusion, Miss Bissell said:
Complete collections of all the
Christmas Seals are exceedingly
rare. We have one such collection,
mounted and framed. We plan, in
connection with our 1888 sale of
Christmas Seals, to put this collec-
tion on display in some prominent
window in Milford for the benefit
of the public.
"The Christmas Seal that was born
in Delaware 27 years ago is no
longer the exclusive possession of
Delaware. On the wings of hope its
message of health has been carried
not only to every nook and corner
of the United States, but to prac-
tically every civilized nation on
this globe, where at Christmas time
the seals are sold for the further
ance of the campaign against tu-
berculosis, and during this time the
tuberculosis death rate has been re-
duced from about 204 per 100000 to
about 67 per 100000. The battle is
not half won yet, however, for tu-
berculosis continues to be the chief
cause of death between the age of

1881. Mr.. Evans is one of the last
of the old-time wood engravers, who
practiced an art still considered un-
surpassed, but whose occupation,
pursued by hundreds of tiny tools
in producing the wood cuts, is re-
placed by cheaper, modern methods.
Mr.. Evans seal for 1927 showed
Santa Claus and his team of rein

Christmas tree, and for 1881, a

25th Annual Seal.
1.-THE record for designing more
seals than any other of the artists
falls to George F. Curtis of New
York, whose four seals were used
in 1921, 1924, 1926 and 1929. Mr..
Curtis is a painter of international
reputation, his canvases appearing
in many celebrated American and
European galleries. His 1921 seal
showed Santa Claus with two chill
dren in his arms; in 1924 his design
was of an angel holding a torch
aloft; while in 1926 his seal showed
a group of troubadors and in 1929
a medieval bell-ringer.
"In all, II designers provided the
81 seals which mark the growth of

berculosis. Four others besides the
ones already mentioned have drawn
more than one seal each. Thy are:
Thomas M. Cleland, of New York,
whose work was used in 1916, 1917
and 1922; Benjamin S. Nash of New
York, 1914 and 1916; Ernest Ham
lin Baker, of Carmel, N. Y, 1919 and
1920, and Edward Volkman of Wee
hawken, N. j., 1928 and 1882. For

CARE ON HIGHWAYS

driving in this unsafe manner is al
most negligible and certainly is not
worth the risk.
For every yard of headway made
by the weaving" driver, scores of
other drivers are thrown into con-
fusion and the orderly progress of
traffic is disturbed and delayed.
Moving the greatest number of We
hicles on a highway at the highest
safe speed requires order.
The weaving driver is a menace,
both to himself and to others. Stay
in line-be orderly-respect the
rights of others.
The higher the speed, the worse
the accident. In other words, speed
may not necessarily cause accidents
but it makes them mighty serious if
they do happen. An accident at low
speed will probably cause only slight
damage to your car; at high speed
it is likely to cause death.
Where no fixed speed exists, you
must be the final judge of safe
speed. Consider the highway, the
traffic, the weather and the condi-
tion of your vehicle.
High speed is especially danger
GUS in residential sections, in alleys
and in congested areas. Always be
ready to meet the emergency of
child dashing in front of your car.
Slow down at school zones.
Always be in a position to stop
within the range of your vision at
intersections and curves. Lose a
minute any time rather than risk
life.

HIGHWAY WORK GIVES
EMPLOYMENT TO MANY

Relief work furnished by the
State Highway Department reached
new high peak for the year in the
week ending November 4th, when
2,240 men were employed on road
work at a minimum wage of 35 cents
an hour in New Castle County and
80 cents an hour in Kent and Sussex
Counties. The highest number eri-
ployed in any one week in the spring
was 1920 in the week of June 2 and
June 8.
During the entire year an average
of around 1900 men have been em-
ployed under contracts let by the
department in a strong effort to as
sist in aiding unemployment
throughout the state, this number
being in addition to the regular
force of the department.
In the winter of 1892 as many
as 5000 different workers were used
in New Castle County while around
1900 different men were being used
in the other two counties.
During this year an average of
$10,500 a week has been paid work
men by contractors employed in
State Highway contracts and relief
furnished. residents of the state of
which no account is taken when re-
lief figures are generally given out.
This has all been outside of the reg
ular relief dispensed through iii

money has come directly from State
Highway funds.
'rhe final grading of shoulders and
the replacement by cable guard rail
of the older type wooden fences is
all that remains to formally COM
plete two 24-foot concrete roads that
are now open to traffic from Dover
to the Maryland line south on U. s..
Routes 13 and 113 and afford COM
plete highways to take care of the
traffic that enters Dover from the
north by the dual highways.
These new highways were widen
ed by a four foot extension to tho
present 20-foot road and to effect a
greater safety the new type cable
guard rail is being used on all fences
of the wooden type where they were
effected by the widening. The work
was done by five different cOntrac-
tors beginning in the spring and now
being finished.
Tourists through Delaware were
treated to a strange sight Tuesday
Just north of Dover on the dupont
Boulevard when they ran through a
heavy snow fall and at the same
time saw roses, which had been
planted along the fences by the
State Highway Department, in full
bloom.
When these plants were selected
the idea was followed to plant the
varieties which would furnish
flowers both early and late in the
season but blooms during snow
storms were hardly contemplated.

and the means of avoiding their use.
Fourth, the method of conduct
ing the liquor traffic should tend to
diminish rather than increase the
consumption of beverage alcohol.
Fifth, the business of manufac-
ture and sale in beverage alcohol
should be disturbed in its natural
course of competition as little as
possible. ! II
Sixth, a reasonable public reve-
nue. should flow from the liquor
traffic"
Seeks Reasonable Prices
Mr.. DUPONT urged reasonable pric-
ed liquor and reasonable taxes. High
prices and a high tax rate, will drive
consumers to the doors of illegal
liquor dispensers, he pointed out.
Prohibition was a we'll intended
though costly experiment but will
leave behind it an experience that is
valuable for future planning" he de-
clared.
"The most important fact estab-
lished is that it is impossible to
change custom of the centuries by
mere legal fiat. The most severe
punishments that may be imposed in
civilized communities - excessive
fine and imprisonment-have been
reduced to useless threats when the
law-made criminal is permitted to
ply his vocation openly and when
the few that are apprehended fire.
quently fail of conviction because of
sympathetic judges and juries.
"The corollary of this established
fact is that the law must be made
to conform to popular opinion, as
popular opinion cannot be nodded to
suit the law, however idealistic the
latter may be. .t'.
"* 1t is encouraging to note
unmistakeable signs of a loosening
of this grip (of liquor), and it may
ultimately appear that the social de-
velopments of the years, 1914 to
1884, have resulted in a greatly di-
minished demand for alconol or,
what is better, greatly diminished
consumption of alcohol by the peo-I
pie of the United States.

contributed-perhaps in very large
degree-to this development but now

Supplies in leading markets have
been worked off gradually and are
now about normal and prices are

in the markets of the Onion Valley
and the South.
The market in northern Maine has
been dull and inactive and some
sales were made as low as $1.05 per
100 pounds but many growers and
shippers seem to be willing to stop
loading rather than SELL Although
Maine shipments have been light,
they have been about one-third to
one-fouIth of the total potato car
lot movement. Most of the Maine
shipments have been billed to New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, and sec
tions farther South, but a few cars
were billed to Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land. Eastern cities quoted fairly
steady prices at a range of $1.5O-
$3.50 per 100 pounds. Boston re-
ported fairly heavy arrivals of Prince
Edward Isle potatoes of fancy grade.
New York and Pennsylvania pota-
toes sold at $1.25-$1.5O in eastern
markets.
Sweet potatoes, after several
weeks of declining prices, are show
ing a firmer market tone through
the country, especially in the Mid
die West. Tennessee Nancy Halls
sold at $1-1.25 per bushel in Chicago,
Detroit, and Cincinnati Delaware

type are firm at 50-75 cents per
bushel in eastern cities. Barrel

around so cents. New Jersey stock
sells at $1.25-$2 per barrel.
Onion Market Steady
Trading has been slow so far this
month in the onion markets and
prices show little change.
Cabbage Market Advancing
Eastern cabbage markets show a
little stronger tone, prices recover

Eastern lettuce is mostly poor at
this season and shows little change

sey supplies bring 40-75 cents per
crate of two dozen. Prices of Cali

Shipments of produce began to de-
crease sharply near the middle of
November, as usual at this time of
year. The carlot total fell off Is
per cent to about 1900 cars per week
day soon after the first of the month,
but is still 10 per cent above the
light movement of a year ago. De-
creases are mainly in the leading
products, including potatoes and ap-
pies, besides many of the miscel-
laneous fruits and vegetables.
Losses in the larger items are Off
set to some extent by increased ar
rivals of celery, new southern beans,
greens, peppers, and cucumbers, and
fairly liberal receipts of lettuce,
greens, cauliflower, peppers, and to-
matoes from the Pacific Coast.
Prices during the first ten days
of November were mostly steady to
firm. Potatoes show a rising ten
dency in the Middle West and West
but Eastern markets are still near
the lowest prices. Sweet potatoes
and cabbage advanced in most mar
kets. Recent gains on some varie-
ties of apples have been maintained.

Southern Yorks sell higher than
Eastern Baldwins this year because
production of Yorks is light and
market quality good. Eastern Bald
