How 1t Operates
BY William Brxckar5
OUR FOREIGN SERVICE

DUBLICISTS and teachers and lead
ers everywhere agree, l believe,
that the demand of our age is for
the specialist. The farmer has to
be specialist In the several lines he
follows; the professional man or
woman can hardly rise above mini
mum level without concentrating on
particular subject, and the indus
trialist who does not understand all
phases of the business that Is his
finds the road full of ruts.
Our government is leader in this
field of specialization. 1t has experts
here, there and everywhere and for
this and that and the other subject,
but / believe few of them receive
more thorough training than do
those who are classified as foreign
service officers. / do not mean that
they have the technical training re-
quired of the scientist, or the legal
learning of the law divisions, or the
skill and training of the type who
draft plans for battleship or great
post office building. 1t Is another
type Of training, but just as intensive.
1t has been less than a score of
years since congress finally was will
ing to enact legislation to make our
foreign service one Of a career type,
a service in which capable individ-
nals might properly expect promo
ton. That has been done and now
only our ambassadors and ministers
to foreign capitals remain as polit-
ical plums to be picked by the vic
torious party each four years. It
seems to me that they, too, ought to
be career men, but it has not hap
pened. Some of the foreign nations
maintain their ambassadors and min
listers in that classification and il has
long been the conviction of students
Of the subject that such diplomats
are among the best to be found In
the corps at Washington.
To get into the foreign service
now, it is first necessary for the ap-
plicant to pass a stiff examination
1t Is not test Of grade school ma
ture. The applicant has to know one
or more foreign languages; he has
to have rather broad acquaintance
with business and finance and he has
to satisfy board Of examiners that
he knows how to conduct himself
when he meets people whether on the
business Of his government or in a
social way.
After he has done all Of these
things satisfactorily, he starts to
school" under guidance of the De-
partment of State which has a group
Of men who have been through the
experience necessary to enable them
to teach the newcomers what to do.
The course of study entails not only
study but work In the various di-
visions of the department where the
applicant can see what Is done and
how and why 1t Is done. He learns
there all of the questions that have
arisen between his government and
others; he learns how they were
handled and the results, and he Is
Informed of how pending matters are
viewed. In other words, the course
provides a perspective of American
policy respecting international af-
fairs, and If he is good timber, the
training he has received fits him to
start shaping policy on his own initi-
alive once he is assigned to a post in
a foreign land. He has become
diplomat, equipped to look after the
L:
mote good will.

NEW ROCKNE CARS FOR 1888
III. Edwin Best, Dealer, Now Has
New Model on Display

In making the nationwide an
nouncement of the new line. H. S.
Vance, president of Rockne Motors
Corporation, said IAN examination
of the new lines of cars shows that
Rockne very definitely takes its
place with the manufacturers who
are not putting their emphasis on
price alone but who believe that
the American motoring public is
not willing to give up the roomi-
ness, comforts, improvements, re-
finements and performance which
have marked the steady progress
of design over the years. 1t is ap-
propriate that Rockne has chosen
to remain in the quality group, for
Studebaker, the sponsoring COM
pany, has always been quality
producer. We do not believe that
quality should be sacrificed to
price. The events of the last two
years indicate that in spite of the
depression the public is not willing
to reduce its standards. When the
depression first became intense,
there was tendency to shout
price and forget about value. In
the last few months we have seen
the tables turn"

FYREBUG SETS
CHURCH AFIRE
CeciIton Incendiary's Crafty
Plan Fails After Board
ing Up Windows
HAS TERRORIZED TOWN

BY using an old picture film as
a fuse and barring the windows SO
flames would not be discovered un-
til they could gain headway, the
firebug who has been terrorizing
the community for several months,
Wednesday started a fire in the
basement of the Community
Church house which indicated the
extent of his misdirected ingenU-
ity. The fire, fortunately, burned
lot Of rubbish to which the filrn
led, but was apparently not strong
enough to ignite some boards
against which the trash had been
piled. The board was scorched,
however. This firebug for the last
three months, has kept residents
of Cecilton and fremen on the
jump. The Town Hall, two barns,
store dwelling and an un0ccupied
house have been reduced to ashes
by his torch, according to the
opinion of local authorities. The
firebug selected dayl ght for his
latest job Entering the basement
of the building he placed several
pieces of galvanized sheet iron
against the windows to cut off the
view. 1t was evident that an old
motion picture film was used to
start the fire in the center of the
rubbish, which had been gathered
UP and carried to a center post on
which some boards were nailed.
The fire scorched the boards and
post but died out. The building
has not been used for several days
and the heater fire was permitted
to go out by the janitor, who on
going to the basement late Wed
nesday afternoon discovered the
smoIdering ashes of the trash. A
call was sent to the church officials
and an investigation made, but as
usual no clue was left on which to
work. After the Town Hall was
burned in the middle of October,
the State Fire Marshal was called
in and for two weeks a detective
from the Baltimore police force in
vestigated the case. He arrested a
suspect whom he locked in Elkton
jail but before he could be given
a hearing, an unoccupied dwelling
was burned to the ground. The
States Attorney realizing that the
man under arrest was not the gull
! ty one, ordered his release. The
frebug next visited the Childs and
Bayview sections of the country.
Four fires and a large store were
credited to his torch in these sec
tions. A night officer was engag-
ed to patrol the town three weeks
ago. While he was at supper, he
narrowly escaped being shot when
bullet crashed through his dining
room window and passed directly
over his head.

government allowed verses of the
Koran, translated into Turkish ard
sung in the st. Sophia mosque at
Stamboul, to be broadcast by the

ment also had the parliamentary
buildings at Ankara equipped with
microphOnes and amplifers, which

Feasting and Exchanging Gifts
Prevailed on January 9Th
Throughout many sections of the
Delmarva Peninsula Friday, Janu-
ary 6, is known as "Old Christmas
Day and is held as sacred as De-
cember IS. The belief prevails by
many that when Pope Gregory
changed the Caesar calendar it set
back the Yuletide season thirteen
days. Throughout the Delmarva
Peninsula and many other sections
in the East, thousands of people
observed Friday as the real Christ
mas Feasting, visiting and ex-
changing gifts prevails in some 10
calities just as it did on December
25. Those who believe that Janu-
uary 8 is the real Christmas, in
stead Of December 25, belong to no
special sect or cult. Tradition has
been handed down to them since
the days of the Colonists. They be-
lieve that when things of a super
natural order transpire as they do
on the morning of January then
they are observing the real day on
which Christ was born.

SUGGESTS SEWING UNITS

Elimination of mosquitoes from
Delaware, or at least methods for
their control, was advanced at the

| the same high ideals that have
guided them in times past. Miss
Emily r. Bissell as chairman of

timely. Mrs. Henry B. Thompson
and Mrs. Clarence Fraim, both of
Wilmington, were absent because
of illness. DR.. L. A. Stearn, en-
tomologist of the University of
Delaware, spoke on Mosquito Con-
troll and demonstrated Mosquito
Machine, also showing a map of
the districts in which the machine
had ben used. BY means of large
electric bulb the mosquitoes are en-
ticed into the machine. A fan
blows them to the rear where they
fall into can and are captured in
a manner similar to that of the
beetle traps. In the 16 traps used
in the tate work, 90, ,922 mosquitoes
had been caught with $4,000 cap
tured in Georgetown. The house
mosquito was So per cent Of all

D.. McCabe, of Rehoboth, recon-
mended the ALLEGATION Of a portion

to stop interfering with milk ship
ments of other dairymen.
Major John A. Warner, superin-

REQUEST CONTINUED
LOOKOUT FOR BODIES
Flight Over River South to Mo-
bridge Fails to Reveal
Bodies of Girls

A plea to residents along the Mis-
souri, river to continue their lookout
for bodies of two girls and young
woman who drowned at Sanish three
weeks ago was made in Bismarck Fri
day by fathers of the two girls.
Frank Royal and E. Lockrem said
that they are offering rewards of $25
for each of the three bodies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Royal and their
daughter, Marian, Mr.. Lockrem and
Alfred Berndtson, all of Sanish, came
here Thursday after futile search
over a period Of several days along
the river between Sanish and here.
They came by automobile, follow
ing the river road.
With an object resembling a body
reported seen In the river about II
miles south of here Wednesday az
ternoon, Royal and Lockrem Thurs
day evening employed F. M. Roberts,
Bismarck aviator, to fly along the
river as far south as Mobridge, 8. D.,
and back. He was accompanied on
the flight by Berndtson.
Though they flew low enough to
see gophers on the rivers edge, the
filters reported, they failed to see any
thing resembling a body in the river.
They left here at o'clock and were
back at 8.
The Sanish group planned to return
home Friday, the 22nd day since the
drowning. The girls, Dolores Lock-
rem, II, Florence Royal, Is, and Ruth

F0RSEE PROFITS TO
N0RTHDAK0TANSI IN
LIVESTOCK FEEDING
Red River Valley Farmers Can
vass Situation At Meeting
in Fargo

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 11.-P)-Some
national experts foresee good profits
this fall in livestock feeding. group
Of Red River Valley feeders were told
Wednesday night at West Fargo
conference under the joint auspices
of the Greater North Dakota associa-
ton and Armour and company.
Col. E. N. Wentworth, head of the
livestock bureau of Armour and COM
pany, and A. j. Dexter. Northern Pa
cific development agent, brought the
direct messages of promising pros
poets.
Wentworth quoted James Poole, we'll
known writer on livestock subjects,
who believes that If the abnormal run
Of hogs, on for several months, clears
away early this fall there is good rea-
son to expect rising prices for beef
and lambs which are fed this year.
Because of the many political PROM
ises held out to farmers since the war
they have neglected normal correc-
tive measures, have been depending on
government promises Of better and
better conditions, and, as a result,
huge SURPRISES of grains and livestock
have been piled up, said Wentworth.
He said Poole believes farmers held
back from marketing hogs in April,
May and June, hoping for better
prices as result of the promised pro-
cessing tax, or from some other gov
ernmental policy. Then there was an
abnormal rush of hogs to market in
July, and the marketings in August
have been away above normal"
Huge quantities of pork have gone
into storage and these burdensome
supplies have affected the markets for
beef and lamb.
Poole believes, however, that excess
sive marketings of hogs will fall away
later this year and that improved
consuming power, due to the recovery
activities Of the government, will
bring about better markets and high
er prices for all classes of livestock.
