There is a perennial European
herb called samphire, which grows

never found, it is said, on any part
of the cliff which is not above the
level of the tide Just so, Chris
tian believers cannot grow, or in
deed even maintain their spiritual
existence at all, unless they take
care, however near they may be
to the surging currents of human
ity's eager ambitions, to secure
themselves at a safe level above
the changing tides of the worlds

$50, 900 BLAZE OF HATCHERY
w. ID. ScOtt's Big Plant at Har.
rington Is Destroyed


Oscar Maloney, 35 years old
driver of the Carlisle Fire Com
pany, of Milford, suffered badly
frozen face Monday when he drove
eight miles in the face of a strong,
cold wind, to fire that caused a
$4,000 loss to the hatchery Of w.
ID. Scott, at Harrington. Maloney
is at his home in a serious condi-
ton. The IRE at Harrington broke
out at 8 o'clock Monday morning
a short time after Mr.. Scott had
started the incubators for the first
time this season. Despite the eff
forts of the Harrington and Mil
ford firemen, the building burned
to the ground. Lack of water
hampered the firemen who were
forced to use chemicals in their
futile attempt to save the building.
The hatchery stood opposite the
Kent and Sussex County Fair
grounds and buildings on that
We're threatened as the
high wind drove sparks directly
toward them. High grass ignited
several times and flames were
leaping toward the fence but the
firemen prevented them from do
ing any damage. The firemen also
saved the dwelling on Mr. SCOTS
which stands only short
distance from the burned hatchery.
The hatchery contained three in
each valued at S6OOO,and
the building was valued at $4,000.

.|CKES BOOSTS
PARK YEAR,

Designation of 1884 as National
Park Year" was urged today by
Secretary of Interior Ickes.
Pointing out that the prevailing
rates of foreign exchange furnish
q sound reason for Americans
seeing America first, the Secre-
tary declared there are compare
lively few persons in the United
States familiar with the national
parks and their allied areas. He
said:
For the many who have not
seen Our Cwn beauty spots and
who can afford to travel, 1 sug-
gest a tour of our native land.
In 1894 our money will go
much 's.rther at home than
abroad, which Is a reversal If
conditions in the past few
years."
In addition to the personal
benefit from travel to the scenic
and historic places of the United
States, he declared, it will be a
definite aid to President Roose-
velt'S recovery program.

WHISKY CANDY
OFF MARKET

Candy containing a consider
able amount of alcohol, which
has recently raised scare here
because of the possibility that it
might find it's way into the
hands of school children, has
been withdrawn from the Wash
ington market by both the manu-
facturer and local retailes who
wee selling it.
This was reported today by
Walter G.. Campbell, chief Of the
Federal Food and Drug Admins
tration, whose organization is
investigating the source and ma
ture of the confection.
The candy was in the form Of
chocolate drops, purportedly con-
tanning real cognac, rum and
Sherry, and had sufficient alco-
honc content to approximate a
cocktail if six pieces were eaten,
governmental experts said.

a cENTuRY's PROGRESS

From the advent of the railroad until
the beginning of practical aerial trans
poFtation there elapsed approximately a
century. The mighty advances of science
and invention which came in between these
epochal events were so great as to tax the
imagination Within the span of these
hundred years thousand marvels have
been born. which it would take months of
research to enumerate and describe Con-
slider few jotted down off-hand:
Railroads. steel ships, perfected cot
ton gins, the telegraph, the telephone,
photography. the photograph, the sewing
machine. anaesthetics. sanitation, the
X-ray, radium. motion pictures, auto
mobiles. radio. aircraft. televison and
many others. together with Vulnerable
Improvements and refinements which have
been added to the original inventinos and
discoveries.
The advance of the past hundred
years appears all the more remarkable
when we reflect that mankind has lived
and labored under some sort of civilization
10000 years. The achievements of the
last century have been greater than those
Of all the hundred centuries which pre-
coded il.
These achievements were strikingly
portrayed by the big fair held in Chicago
this year in celebration of "a century of
progress

GIFTS" TO FAVORED COMMON
CARRIERS

In recent address. Federal Coordina-
tor Of Transportation Eastman said that IN
no other country are terminals placed at
the disposal Of steamship lines without
suitable charges. This gift, which
amounts to government subsidization of
enc carrier At the expense Of others, has,
he continued. resulted in the loss Of nil
lions Of dollars Of potential revenue to the
railroads and to private pier operators who
depend upon wharfage and handling
charges for their incomes. Mr.. Eastman
pointed to number of important points
where the charges made are much lower
than il economically sound
As : solution, Mr.. Eastman recon-
mends that definite schedule of doekage
charges be inaugurated by all piers,
whether publicly or privately owned.
These charges, which would be determined
in each case by the gross tonnage of the
vessel, would make it possible for docks to
earn a reasonable profit.
A policy which gives expensive serv-
ices free to one type of carrier, while other
carriers must pay the full price for every
thing they get, is basically indefensible II
makes for transportation chaos and in
stability. It discourages investment and
employment. And. most important of all,
such policy must, in the long run, harm
the interest of the public, which requires
first-class transportation service at rea.
