MEN VIE WITH WOMEN
IN WEARING "SHORTS"
with This Style OF Clothes For Men
And Women in Delaware, MOsqui-
toes Must Be Exterminated

A complete revolution in summer
wearing apparel is predicted this
summer us IA result of the over
whelming vogue TOR shorts" Both
women and men are going TO wear
them and not merely for tennis and
the beach They are going to be
popular for porch and lawn, for mo-
tOring, at the country clubs, on the
streets of resort tOwns--and In fact
for everything but formal and semi
formal occasions.
Betty Thornley, Stuart, fashion edi-
tor OF Golfers Weekly, who predict
ed the popularity of the baby pants
style when il was no more than a
cloud on the horizon four or five
years ago. today issued an advance
guide IOr those who are already
preparing their summer wardrObes.
"The most popular length for wO-
men will be just above the knee,
she explains. But as to cut, style
and color, the shOrt-makers will pro-
vide varieties that are as varied as
wOmen's ages, types, weights, habits
and color preferences. Practically
every figure can be taken care of,
aud the business of tryins-On, TO find
the perfect length, the ideal cut and
the happiest piece of the railboW is
going TO be just as serious as pick
ing out an evening gown. Many
young women will buy knee-length
shorts, hut they will roll them up.
Others will begin with them much
shorter than knee length. Still
others will choose the three-qnarter
trouser.
The One-piece model, cut princess
style and worn a bit loose, will dis
guise lady overly wide through the
beam. Another model IL cleYerly
gore to increase apparent heights
without breaks in the middle. Others
have the effect of skirt until the
wearer moves. Lots of experts think
this last. especially In its less vol
luminous versions, contains more ALL
round chic than any of the others.
Most of the shorts will have an
optional buttOned-dOwn front skirt
10 match with hem about ten in
ches from the turf. White will be
the most popular color, but there
will be plenty of rainbow variations.
The recipe is to suit yourself"
Among men, Miss Stuart cites
among the converts to shorts for
all-round summer wear the follow =
ing: Eddie Cantor; Lawrence Tib-
bett, Jimmie Durante, Walter Lipp-
man, General w. w. Atterbury,
George Gershwin, the Earl of War
wick, HarpO Marx, Charles Laugh
ton. Prof. Picard, Johnny Weismul-
ler and others.
The summer craze for shorts
among women is regarded as a pre-
cursor of the short skirt next win
ter--not only for sports but also for
general wear.

and has backed it for the same rea-
son Mr.. Adams stated when he voted
for the bill before Congress at the
time your remarks we're made, name
ly. in order to furnish employment
and give Delawareans a better out
look on life as well as to enable
them to provide for families and in
dividuals and to administer the
money allotted by this bill free from
partisan politics.
The Commission asks that this
resolution be made a part of their
records and a copy sent to the Hon
Orable Wilbur L. Adams and that we
ask that a copy be inserted in the
Congressional Record"
The statement was unanimously
adopted, all members being present
and acting chairman, FIank Collins.
Mayor of Newark, presiding.
Because no additional funds have
been awarded Delaware, no new
work projects were approved. al
though several were in readiness.
Colonel Harry W. Cannon, chair
man of the Mosquito Control Com
mission appeared to ask that this
project which has been halted by the
Federal authorities be made a State
project.
Mr.. Cannon was informed that if
the 500 men from Kent and Sussex
counties who had been working on
the project were continued, that il
would necessitate taking just that
number from other State work pro-
jects, as the Federal CWA authOri-
ties has notified Delaware not to
hire any more men.
He was also told that to make il
a State project II would be neces-
sary for some one TO contribute q
portion of the money for the job.
just like all other State projects.
Appeals were also made for the
community sanitation project and
the tick" control. The same applies
to them. However the CWA for Del
aware reserved any decision at this
time pending further information
from Washington.

OFT WALKING WITH
THE YOUNGSTER

BY John F. Cowan, D. D.
Out walkin' with the youngster-
If ever there's a time
When life is full of gladness
An jingles like a rhyme.
An worries fly like blackbirds,
It's when that yOungster calls,
Hey, pop! Let's go out walkin'.
I'm tired of hoops and balls"
None of your family stories
OF gOblins, sprite, an elf,
Match seem youngsters happy
An ketchin' il yourself.
Out walkin' with the yOungster-
His warm hand tucked in mine
Sends such delightful quivers
A-tinglin' down my spine,
They bring back recollectiOns
Of thrills | used to feel
When sweetheart's dainty fingers
Inside of mine would steal
| throw away decOrum,
An we're frisky pair.
When him an go prancin'
Like We was treadin' air.
Out walkin' with the yOungster-
lie Chums with bird an bee.
We whittle our initials
In every kind of tree.
We blow on grass-blade trumpets
That make ear-splitting squawks
Send thistle-down ballOoning;
Link dandeliOn stalks;
Play jigs on willow whistles:
Shoot shingle darts with strings
Make water-wheels an windmills.
An all them bOyish things.
Out walkin' with the yOungste
He wOrshipS every over.
lie spies MISUNDERSTANDING
Deep in his shady bower.

THE TRAIN IS COMING BACK
Under the above title, Walter
P. Mcclure, editor of the South
side Virginia News, Petersburg,
Virginia, says:
Having blazed the permanent
way across the continene-laid it.
self down for seemingly endless
miles across level land, bridged
every little creek and spreading
swamp and roaring river, climbed
over the mountains or blasted its
way through them, the railroad
made itself perhaps the largest
single instrument of national de-
velopment, servant of individuals
and great industries a great
American institution"
He then points out how privileg-
ed competition, tax subsidized and
unregulated, has crippled and near
ly destroyed highly taxed and over
regulated railroads.
Out of this testing period, the
railroads are emerging into a new
era brought about by imagination
and courage on the part of their
Arrangements. The Union Pacific.
for example,, is pioneering what i.
doubtedly the worlds fastest, long
distance land travel method. It.
aluminium train with every modern
convenience has a speed of Tic
miles an hour.
Editor Mcclure is right. The
train is coming back-and with :

ment among Republicans as well as
.Dmocrats that the tariff increases
provided in the two tariff laws en-
actd by the Republicans in 1921
and 1880, ran the import duties on
most Of the list up TO unavoidable
peaks, and by melting other nations
to set up defenses against Ameri-
can aggression in other markets,
while shutting them off from our
markets, had a great deal to do
with prolongi1g the situation pre-
cipitated by the crisis of 1929.
Now Mr.. Roosevelt has bravely
brought the tariff right up to the
front Of politics again. By Ill the
rules Of logic and. economics this
complicated subject certainly ought
to be administered by the Execu-
tive, either by the President single
handed or by a commission respon-
sible directly to him, and under
rules Of his making, rather than
responsible to Congress and its ,e-
strictions. But whethe, the r es-
ent Congress will be able to resist
the local pressure from the back
home interests who don't want an
equitable tariff, nor reduced tariff
rates, nor anything that might
conceivably benefit all the people
if it is going to hurt their own
pocketbooks.
If Congress does grant this
power to President Roosevelt it will
have to put into his hands the most
useful of all weapons with which
to carry on the fight against Old
Man Depression. And if it does
not give him what he asks for it
will be the first time it has denied
him anything, and there, again, the
majority of the members of both
Houses are likely to face repercus-
.sions from back homeland there's
a general election coming On next
