"In these days of stress and finan-
cial limitation, there is grave danger
that much of the progress that has
been made in the past will be nullified
to a certain extent unless the anti
tuberculosis efforts are continued with
even greater vigor than ever before.
These campaigns and the work car
ried\ under the direction of the So
cieties have been very largely respon-
sible for the reduction of the death
rate from this disease over sixty per
cent during the past twenty-seven
years, and the establishment of GER
tain machinery for prevention and
cure.
This work must be carried on. 1t
must not be permitted to lapse for
want of means. The American Legion
has, throughout the years of its ex-
istence, given its full cooperation
throughout the country and will con-
tinue to do so. Its Posts will be active
throughout the month of December

Seals, from which funds are derived
to finance the anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations and societies throughout the

to $1.6O in eastern cities. Chicago
is about steady at $1.25 to $1.SO by
the carlot for northern stock.
Onions Gain Further
There were some further gains in
onion prices near the end of No
vember and market position was
firm in the cities and in producing
sections. New York and Michigan
shipping points quoted 80 to S5 cents
per so pounds with moderate to ac-
tive demand and haulings light. East
fern and mid-wistern stock sold at
80 cents to $1.10 in eastern markets,
and white varieties brought 81 to
$1;65.
Celery in Ample Supply
The market supplies of celery have
been ample despite the light eastern
production. and price trend was
slightly downward after the holiday
buying season slowed down. AL
though there has been less New York
celery on the market, there was in
creased celery movemnt from Cali
fornia and Michigan, and this stock
has been active in eastern markets.
Holdings are being reduced slowly
in western New York, and much of
the late storage crop was only fair
in quality due to unfavOrable grow
ing conditions in some districts.
New York and California celery de-
clined slightly in New York the last
week of November. Range of New
York celery in eastern markets was
$1.75 to $2.25 per two-thirds crate
and about the same for Michigan
celery.
Lettuce markets lost part of the
November rise, sagging about 25
cents per crate for western stock
near the end of the month. General
range ineastern cities for best stock
was $3.50 to 81. New Jersey lettuce
brought 25 to 60 cents per two-dOzen
package in November.
Cabbage Market Firm
Cabbage still sells at firm prices
in western New York producing sec
tions, ranging $34 to $35 per ton in
bulk, and city markets sell this stock
at $40 to $45, while local supplies
bring about $1.75 a barrel. There
are small quantities of South Caro-
lima and Virginia cabbage selling at
$1.65 to 81 per hamper or crate.
Florida and Texas cabbage plant
ings have been increased and ship
ments from this source are expected
to be active by the middle of Decem-
br. Meanwhile, New York and the
Upper Great Lakes region are sup
plying most of the market receipts.

PLAY AND TRAFFIC

Look out for the kiddies!" The
policeman raised a warning hand
This is a play street-no thorough
fare." During hot July and August
35I,52S children in Greater New
York used the play streets" operat-
ed and sponsored by the Commun-
ity Councils in cooperation with the
Citizens Summer Playground Com
mittee, according to the report of
Charles H. Francis, director of play
streets for the Community Councils.
About 4S3 sections of thoroughfares
were prepared and equipped and
then supervised as Fairgrounds
from Monday to Friday, between
1890 and P. M.
Each selected street had three
paddle tennis-courts and two shuttle
board layouts. Six men, assigned by
the city administration, prepared the
courts and kept them in order, re-
painting each street about every
two weeks. In addition, streets were
equipped with bats and balls and
games for small children, such as
checkers, jacks, cards, puzzles and
other simple attractions. A shower
was provided by the Sanitation De-
partment for each street.
The main problem encountered
was that of traffic. Supervisors took
license numbers of all vehicles
passing through the play streets.
Offenders were warned, and in some
cases summonses followed. The
rights of the children were strictly
observed.

vegetables are steadily increasing
while northern vegetables from stor-

Price level was being quite well

Potatoes, cabbage and apples were

Onion supply and demand were mod

Celery and lettuce markets weaken

Apple Market Firm
Prices of apples have been well
maintained at recent higher levels
in. eastern and mid-western prOduc-
ing sections. Some eastern city mar
kets weakened a little in late No

firm prices. General jobbing range
is still rs cents to $1.50 per bushel,
the tops being for the choicer grades

as high as $1.75.
Potato Market Steady
Potato supplies are moderate in
eastern markets and demand slow

Commander Edward A. Hayes of the
American Legion issued here today
an endorsement of the nationwide

pressed the 'vital interest" of the

firm conviction that the campaign car

disease is one of the greatest humani-

consider the facts. One out OF every

GRANDM AS
SCRAP BOOK

And as fast as l dreamed it was
coined into numbers;
My thoughts ran along in such
beautiful meter,
I'm sure | ne'er saw any poetry
sweeter.
1t seemed that a law had been re-
Gently made,
That tax on old bachelors pates
should be laid;
And, in order to make them all will
ing to marry,
The tax was as large as a man could
well carry.
The bachelors grumbled, and said
twas no use,
Twas cruel injustice and horrid
abuse
And declared that to save their own
hearts blood from spilling,
OF such a vile tax they would ne'er
pay a shilling.
But the rulers determined their
scheme to pursue,
So they set all the bachelors up at
vendue.
A crier was sent through the town
to and fro,
To rattle his bell and his trumpet to
blow,
And to bawl out to all he might
meet on his way:
"Ho! forty old bachelors sold here
today"
And presently all the old maids of
the town
Each. one in her very best bonnet
From thirty to sixty, fair, plain, red
and pale
OF every description all fiocked to
the sale.
The auctioneer, then, in his labor
began;
And called out aloud, as he held up
a man:
How much for a bachelor? Who
wants to buy?"
In twink, every maiden responded,
I'll"
In short, at hugely extravagant
price,
The bachelors all were sold off in
trice,
And forty old maidens = some
younger, some older
Each lugged an, old bachelor home
on her shoufder.

How Delaware missed the dis
tinction of having the Battle of
Brandywine fought within its bor-
ders is revealed in several commun-
ications from Letters to and from
Caesar Rodney, 1864" published
today by the University of Pennsyl-
vania Press for the Historical So
ciety of Delaware and edited by
George H. Ryden of the University
of Delaware.
Among other letters dealing with
hitherto little known facts of the
maneuvers of the British and Amer
ican armies in Delaware in August
and September, 1777, is one written
by John Mckinley, Governor of Del
aware, to Caesar Rodney, then Com
mander of the Delaware Militia un-
der Washington's orders. Dated six
days after the skirmish at Cooch's
Bridge, September 8, it indicates
the intention of the American forces
to intercept Howe's advance on Phil
adelphia, an intention which met
with defeat at Chadd's Ford, Sep
tember IL:
Yesterday morning, the British
Army made a general movement
from the place of their Encampment
on the Iron Hill, proceeding north
ward thro' Mill creek Hundred. Our
Army at that time expecting they
would take their rout thro' this
place, over Brandywine Bridge, en-
trenched themselves very we'll on
the Eastern bank of Red Clay creek,
about a mile westward from New
port, where they had moved the day
before G waited their approach in
the highest spirits imaginable; but
the enemy has for the present given
them the slip, having moved farther
north to pass Brandywine, at a
Place called Chad's Ford, about 8 or
10 miles above this place. . The
