Ting SOMEBODY'S TROUBLES IOI EN-. fOu
see we have always figured that Cuba
was a kind OF step-chiId and while 1t
was big enough to earn its own living
and was not living at home anymore,
why we still had the right to step in
and advise. You see. the child has
grown up but we haven't. We still think
in terms OF Nicaragua. OF Hati- OF San
Domingo, OF Mexico. all these we have
been in some sort OF messes with We
meant we'll. but We Just do love to
nose about. We can't seem to bear to
seeing anything going on without us at
least offering advice.
Advice can get you In more trouble
than a gun can. | just don't want some
body telling me how to run my bust
ness, or my country | want to ruin 1t
myself without any outside aid, and
that's especially true Of these Latin
races. The minute there is any trouble
in any Latin American Country. that
should be the tip right there for US to
crawl In . hole and not even be Al
lowed to poke our head out till ii was
all over. for as sure as we could see
it we would either be In 1t OF offering
advice. We can't help it. its just second
nature with us. We mean we'll, but the
better we mean the worse we get In.
Let the Argentine come up and settle
1t. They speak the same language. and
they are a big inleuntial country Let
Mexico advise Cuba. they have no step
father treaty with am. You see there
is where we got In wrong. we retained
a clause In our Treaty with EN- where
We had a kind OF a string tied to EN-
yet SO while they got their liberty from
Spain. there was still q second mort
gage given to us which we still hold
and shake over their head every once
In awhile. We just sit by the hour at
home and abroad and tell why don't
England give India her freedom. What's
England got to do with Canada- Aus
tralia should be a free country. why
should she have a string on South
African"
That's all fine. but the minute an
Englishman reminds us OF Cuba. or the
PHILIPPINES we are up in arms and come
back at EN-. We'll that's different We
are only In there to help them ont We
get nothing out OF It." And the Eng
lishman says, yeah, and we can't make
him see 1t our way. Amt people dumb
when they wont q things your way.
That's why we have always thought
Engiishmen have no sense OF humor
they just wont laugh at our Jokes as
much as we think the Jokes demand.
Another thing about all this trouble
In Cuba, Bolivia. Paraguay and all
those Is that folks forget that q Latin
American Country must have SO much
revolution and wars anyhow They
don't look on a revolution as being such
a terrible thing like we do. They are
3 people that don't get much excite
ment and a good revolution In a sort
OF relaxation for err Now take the Ar !
gentine, they had peace for q long
time and finally 1t begin to get on their
nerves and they couident stand It any
longer SO they just broke out.
Well | was down there since then.

$4,000 FIRE AT
SUDLERSVILLE
Lightning Strikes Walls Pack
ing Plant and Threatens
Whole Maryland Town
4 FIRE COMPANIES THERE

During the height of a terrific
electrical and rain storm which
broke over Sudlersville, Md, Mon
day night at 8.45 o'clock, lightning
struck and set fire to the Sudlers-
vile Packing Company plant own
ed by G. A. Walls and damaged the
large one-story frame building and
contents to the amount of $4,000.
SudlersvilIe is 18 miles from Smyr-
ma. The loss is on the building,
machinery and canned goods that
were in the structure. The flames
were famed by a stiff northeast
wind that blew blazing brands di-
rectly over the railroad tracks to
the plant of the Phillips Lumber
Yard and the large HARRISON Dair-
les. Had these buildings become
ignited it was feared the entire
town would have been wiped out.
The Sudlersville Fire Company
fought the blaze and, when other
buildings were menaced, sent calls
to Millington, Centreville, Church
Hill and Chestertown. These COM
panies pumped water for 3 IL
hours from the private swimming
pool of John M. George. The down
pour of rain aided. About 10
O'Clock, the wind changed to the
northwest and the sparks We're
blown across an open field where
the grass quickly extinguished
them and no further fear was felt
of the town. At 1920 o'clock the
flames were under control, but the
fire companies stood by Theobold
Hall, a member of the Church Hill
Fire Company was badly injured
about the head and chest when he
was responding to the alarm. He
ran across the street to board the
apparatus and was struck by a
passing automobile. He was taken
to the Easton Emergency Hospital.
The damaged building is about 800
feet long, one story in height, about
so feet wide and contained a large
quantity of canned food products
and valuable machinery.

SMYRNIANS SEEK RADIOS TO
LEARN DISASTER OF AKRON

The crash into the Atlantic of
the greatest ship of the skies, the
Akron, early yesterday off the Jer-
sey seacoast, was reckoned as the
most costly disaster in the history
of aviation with only three of 76
men saved. The silvery Akron
was on its way from Lakehurst to
Boston when she met her doom in
an electric storm 20 miles off
Barnegat Light. She was to have
cruised along the cost for four days
to adjust errors in her radio COM
passes. The ship was built in the
Ohio city for which it was named
in 1881. Hundreds of vessels,
naval and civilian, were concen-
trated in the waters off Barnegat
Light determined to renew with
Yesterdays dawn the pursuit on
the faint chance that others might
still be saved. But the hope was
of the slenderest nature. After es-
timating the drift Of the wind and
recovering one body, officials said

SCHOOL NOTES
Fourth Annual Demonstration
in Physical Education Civ
en- Friday at School
EXCLAMATION PRIZES

The fourth annual demonstra-
tion il Physical Education was
presented on Friday evening under
the direction of the Instructor in
Physical Education. 1t was beyond
question one of the finest demon
strations of this nature ever offer
ed in this part of Delaware. 1t is
estimated that approximately 600
people were in attendance. The
fact that every student enrolled in
the seventh to twelfth grades in
elusive is required to take part in
the Physical Education program,
unless excused by a doctors certifi-
cate. makes this type of work de-
cidedly different from the regular
athletic type, where only a small
percentage of students are able to
participate. At our regular
monthly faculty meeting held on
Wednesday, the subject for discus
sion was THE Teachers Obligation
to the Community. Mr. King and
Mr.. Hynson led the discussion. All
the teachers were present. The
Faculty Club followed the usual
custom of offering their prize for
the Defamation and Oratorical
Contests which were held on the
oath of March The Kent County
Oratorical and Defamation Con-
test will be held in the High School
Auditorium tomorrow, Thursday,
at 7.30 p. m. Most of the high
schools throughout the county are
hoping to take part in this contest.
The local school will be represent
ed by Ethel Virginia Roe and Ern-
estine Davis, Ethel Streets and
Franklin Hilyard The first base
ball game of the season will be
played at Sudlersville on Friday,

as follows: number of pupils in at
tendance, 675; deposits, So; amount

gram this week was in charge of

they did not see how any wreckage
could have drifted beyond the reg
ion explored from ship and plane.
One explanation, given in authori-
tative circles, was the belief that
most of the missing were trapped
in debris which sank. Rear Ad-
miral William A. Moffett, chief of
the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics,
was among those lost on the

MILK RULES
ARE HELD UP
Moratorium of Regulations
Adopted by Industry Just as
Cooling Was in Effect
FARMERS ARE RELIEVED

Just as the cooling of milk was
to go into effect on Saturday, April
/, a ruling that met with wide
spread opposition, word came a
moratorium had been declared by
the industry After several DAYS
of conference held in Philadelphia
with the distributors of milk in the
Philadelphia Milk Shed, the Inter
State Milk Producers Association
was able to obtain from the distrib-
utors an agreement for a morator-
ium on all milk regulations in the
Philadelphia Milk Shed that involv-
ed the expenditure of additional
money at this time. This program
is to be extended until January 1st,
1884, providing authority could be
obtained from Boards of Health in
the different states to agree to the
same and that they apply the same
moratorium on the milk plants
that, is, as far as expenditure of
money is concerned, but with the
distinct understanding that the
quality Of the milk produced must
be maintained at its present high
standard and that all of the condi-
tions must be kept on the same
high standard as heretofore. Many
farmers had either made their own
ice boxes or had contracted for re
frigerating units. They will not
have to use them until the question
is definitely settled. The program
however by no means prohibits the
necessary replacement of bad or
worn-out equipment, such as milk
cans and minor equipment. The
same conditions may also apply in
Connection with some of the equip
ment in use by distributors. There
is no disposition to lay down on the
matter Of producing quality prod
uct. The same high grade must be
maintained as has been the case
heretofore The Interstate Milk
Producers Association is now ar
ranging to get in touch with the
various Boards of Health in its ter
ritory and to endeavor to have
them agree to this program of pro-
cedure.

S1.5OO FIRE AT
GREENSPRING
Breaks Out Inst Refora tho
Noon Hour on the Benja-
min Collins Farm
TENANTED BY ED. COLE

Just at noon to-day the fire siren
sounded an alarm, calling our fire
company to the Benjamin C. Col
Inns farm at Greenspring Railroad
Station, tenanted by Edward Cole
Fire had broken out in the cow
stable and was sweeping every
thing before it. From the cow
stable it ate its way to the wagon
shed and by the time the Smyrna
firemen arrived both buildings We're
enveloped and beyond control.
Neighbors, the first to arrive on the
scene, succeeded in getting practi-
cally everything out of value they
could except Mr.. Coles tractor. The
fire had so cut off access to this
piece of machinery as to make any
attempt to save it too great a risk.
Fortunately the cows and all stock
were either out in the pasture field
or had been gotten out before the
fire gained headway. Shortly after
Smyrna firemen had gotten there,
the Clayton siren was sounded and
the Clayton fire truck took a short
cut up the back road to Green
spring Both fire companies see
ng the stable and COW sheds were
doomed, devoted their attention to
keeping the fire from spreading to
Mr.. Coles residence and other out
buildings. In this they were fav-
ored by the wind which blew the
sparks away from the residence.
The volume of smoke that arose
drew quite number from the
neighborhood to the scene. The
damage is estimated at about ST.
500 which, it is said, is partially
covered by insurance.

ternOon BY an OverwheIm-
ing Majority
SENATE APPROVAL SEEN

The legal right to sell beer in
Delaware is a step nearer a victory
for the vets. The lower House of
the Legislature yesterday by vote
"a to 6, only six votes against it
passed the bill making 80 beer
legal after Friday, April T. The
bill is now before the Senate and if
it passes to-day or tomorrow it
will be rushed to Governor Buck

the sale of beer will become opera
tive. Meanwhile in the Senate,

vide for a State convention to rati-
fly or reject the repeal of the

ative Schrieder and is an amend
ment to the Loose law. Those vot-
ing against it Monday afternoon
