The Tigers are young team
just come to a peak. The
Yankees are past their crest,
with some of the boys clutching
at their past glory as a fat
man clutches at the brass ring
on a merry-go-round.
Well start with what once
was the top. Well start with
Babe Ruth. Now the Babe is
having trouble to do anything.
He can't run any more and he
can't hit. Father Time just
caught up with the Babe all Of
a sudden, and everybody knows
it. Ruth just found it out and
that makes it unanimous.
But Lazzeri is slowed down
to a limp, and without Combs
to help Chapman, the Yankee
outfield is nothing. In the

SUNOCO AND HOW MEASURED
BY All Standards 1t Fills Need As
Outstanding Fuel

That many motorists make the
mistake of buying their gasoline
because of one outstanding quality
was the interesting remark made
yesterday by Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr.,
the Sun Oil Company's local
branch manager. You see," he
explained, some motorists buy
gasoline for power while others in
sist upon a certain knockless rat
ing. 1t is hard for me to agree
with such practice when research
has proved that the efficient motor
fuel must offer an ideal combina-
tion of four all important qualities.
These ares quick starting, fast ac-
celeration, high knockless power
and economy. In other words, mo-
torists should measure gasoline
performance by all four of these
qualities instead of one or two.
And, incidentally, Blue Sunoco is
built to deliver these necessary
qualities in an ideal combination.
This, however, is only one of the
reasons why we believe Blue Sun
oco is an outstanding motor fuel.
Instead of making two or three
grades of gasoline. the Sun Oil
Company has one policy, one grade,
one price.

have relaxed control of the body
muscles. Some of the more diff
ficult swimming strokes require
very delicate co-ordinations of the
muscle groups. The mechanics of
these strokes can be perfected
quicker by perfecting one move
ment such as leg drive, by contin-
ued practice. After this is reduc-
ed to reflex (habit), so all of the
attention is not required to main
tain good performance in this
movement other coordination can
be added. 1t is the simple process
of adding the new to the old in
proper sequence. Just as rhythm
in the swimming stroke is depend
ent on relaxed control of the mus
cles for skillful performance, we
find mechanical movements of the
arms and legs are dependent upon
the full use of the natural buoy
ancy in the water. Once a swim
mer can feel his buoyancy and
learn how to apply it to his swim
ming strokes he is ready to study
correct form and style of move
ment. The ability to swim does not
indicate correctness of form or
style, and does not imply that ma
tural buoyancy is properly incor-
porated in the stroke. As long as
rhythm is understood as a special
function added to the study of cor
rect form; and natural buoyancy
and relaxed control as the best
means of working the muscles in
true form, and in rhythm, we can
know what we are doing and prac-
tice, intelligently to build the fin
ished stroke successfully. Ad-
vanced swimming can properly be
divided into three groups: Distance
strokes, speed strokes, and stunts

BIG
WHEAT CROP
Kent and Sussex County
Growers Base Estimate on
Binder Twine Required
HEADS FULL OF GRAIN

Farmers in Kent and Sussex
counties are cutting wheat, and ac-
cording to reports, there is large
crop. Not in many years has there
been so good a prospect for a big
harvest. The stocks are heavy and
the heads full of grain. More
twine is being used to tie the
wheat than has been used in many
seasons and it is upon the amount
of twine necessary to make the
harvest that the growers base their
estimate of the size of the crop.
The more binder twine that it
takes to harvest a certain number
of given acres the heavier the
wheat. This year farmers have
been compelled to obtain more
twine after beginning the harvest
and they are elated over the pros
pect.

New Castle, and Clayton Douglass

Delaware, collateral descendants of
Rodney and Clayton, respectively,
unveiled the statues. Bryant Bak-
er, the sculptor, delivered them to
WILDER E. Jacobs, chairman of the
Delaware Statues Commission, who
in turn presented them to David
LYNN, architect of the Capitol, ac-
cepting them for the Federal Gov
ernment. They will remain in the
Capitol with the figures of illus
trious citizens presented by other
States. Later the Rodney statue
will be placed in Statuary Hall
while the Clayton likeness will be
placed in another room in the Cap
itol. For the present both will re
main in the rotunda of the Capitol.
Delaware has long felt intensely
proud of being able to claim Caesar
Rodney and John M.Clayton as her
own" said Governor Buck, who
presided.
"And by setting up these statues
at the very heart of our beloved
United States, we hope that many
generations yet unborn when they
shall behold them, will in some de-
gree realize the greatness of these
men and thus share with Delawar-
cans the pride we display whenever

SLAP CRITICS OF
RUM CONTROL
Captain William H. Stayton,
Smyrna, Director of Repeal
Association Takes Slap
POINTS TO DRY FAILURE

Prohibition organizations were
charged Wednesday by Captain
William H. Stayton of Smyrna, di-
rector of Repeal Associates and
founder of the erstwhile Associa-
tion Against the Prohibition
Amendment, with Continuing to
blow against the wind" in con-
demning the post-repeal order of
things. Stayton's statement was
prompted by what he described as
"the conflict in opinions of prohi-
bitionists on the Constitutional
amendment giving Congress the
right to legislate the nation wet or
dry as proposed by Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas. These States to
which control of the traffic was re-
stored by vote of 15,077,764 to s.
602,754 less than a year ago." he
said should have an opportunity
to work out their own problems
without interference or suggestions
from the Congress Of the United
States. Sensible men and women
in these States have not forgotten
that prohibition was tried for four
teen years and failed and they will
not be misled by the statements
now being made by the prohibi-
tionists who for fourteen years
complained that national prohibi-
tion had not had a fair trial. Why
are they so anxious to condemn the
new order of things after less than
years experiment, Stayton ask
ed. Are they interested in tenn
perance under the best conditions
possible or are they merely intent
on forcing their theory of prohi-
bition on the whole nation regard
less of the expressed wishes of the
people? 1t seems to me they are
only blowing against the wind"
