capitalist state and for their rights.
Drum head Court Martials
In New Mexico, the state militia
was brought in to break the coal
strike led by the National Miners
Union. Strike leaders were tried by
drum-head court martials.
( In the Weirton Steel Co., $4,000
strikers, under A. F. of L. leadership,
were sent back to work with promises
which were shamelessly broken by the
bosses and the National Labor Board
officials. The same method of be-
trayal met the Budd Auto and Ford
strikers.
Where the strikes showed the great
est militancy in Ambridge, Pa the
steel trust organized fascist bands
which slaughtered and shot the
strikers, drove them back into the
plant and jailed the leaders.

huge strike wave which had involved
over 100000 was broken. Strikes,
however, continued in every part OF
the country, with, the end of the year
witnessing definite rise in strikes,
portending new strike wave.
IN their effort to smash the strikes,
4 the bosses were extremely vicious
receiving the organized support OF
local, state and federal officials, and
the whole apparatus of the National
Labor Board, with its A. F. of L.
leaders.
A record of the casualties in the
strike struggles Of 1888 will show
what means were used to break the
most militant strikes.

APRIL IA CLOSING DATE
FOR APPLICATIONS FOR
CORN-HOG PROGRAM

April IA is the closing date fo
making applications for the corn
hog reduction program as set up b!
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istratiOn.
This campaign was started in Sus
sex county on February 20 by q ser
les of educational meetings held al
Greenwood. Milford, Laurel, Seaford
Selbyville, Georgetown. Milton. and
MillsbOro. A. d. Cobb. Assistant Di-
rector of Extension, University OF
Delaware, and County Agricultural
Agent c. r. Snyder of Georgetown,
explained the purpose of this pro-
gram, just how ii would affect all
who signed, what they would be
compelled to do and what the gov
ernment would give in return.
Previous to the holding of these
meetings the County Agricultural
Agent sent leaflets and information
to each of the 1850 eligible farmers
in the county.
Last week series of "Sign-up
Stations" were held at SeafOrd,
Loves Cross Roads. Delmar. Milford.
Georgetown, Laurel. Selbyville.
DagsborO, Bridgeville, Nassau.
MillsbOrO, Milton and Greenwood.
These meetings were held for the
purpose of giving assistance to any
who wanted to sign a Corn-HOg Re-
ductiOn Contract. The various voca-
tiOnal agricultural teachers in the
county assisted at these "Sign-up
Stations"
No doubt there are still many far
mers who want to sign one of these
contracts but for some reason, could
not attend any of the meetings at
the "Sign-up Stations" Because of
this the County Agent has made ar
rangements to have the following
men help i'm signing up those who
did not sign at these meetings. If
yOu are interested go to see the
nearest one. and he will furnish you
with the necessary application |
blanks, explain them TO you and |
help you to fill them: Fred Wright, |
J. Raymond Smith, f. z. Nichols, of |
Delmar; NJ. NJ. Price of Laurel; Bay
ard Carmean of SeafOrd; NJ. L. Door
dan of Bridgeville: Ed McCauley of
Milford; Thaddeus Warrington of |
Georgetown; Franklin GOrdy Of |
Greenwood; Ralph SnOwbeTger Of |
Milton; H. n. Mitchell and r. w.
Lingo of Millsboro; Walter w. Gray
of GumbOro.
These applications as previously
stated will not be available after
April II so it is necessary to act at
once If you intend to sign one. The
Signing of them is not compulsory,
it is left up to each individual to de-
eide for himself. The county agent,
would appreciate. however, if you do
not sign to return the postcard sent
to each farmer asking for certain
definite Information. Delay in re-
turning this card with this infOrma-
lion may delay your neighbor who
may have signed the contract in re-
reiVing his benefit money from the
government The signera therefore
would also appreciate If the non
signers would send these cards to
he County Agent. Do not forget that
April II is the last day for signing
contracts.

PARIS STYLES BY MARY KNIGHT
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris-(UP)-Fur by no means, intends to be busted by summer. As an entire coat, true enough, it has agreed to gracefully retire, but as trimming on light colored wool coats, jackets and cape sit remains adamant-and most bewitching.
 Helm, instance, is using superla- tive fox fur this season. He uses it especially in two shades of blue navy and horizon, the latter an almost sky-tone, and the former not just a regular navy blue but deep sapphire with a silvery cast.
 On a charming afternoon frock of pleated georgette in greige Helm adds a novel collar and cuff set of beige fox The collar is shaped like ye olden Buster Brown model, and the cuffs are little twisted 'fronds' at the elbow. Both re- movable, of course.
 Another interesting spring model from this house is of black lace bordered in black satin. The long, tight sleeves continue into mittens without fingers! In getting into'' the frock one must be sure that the thumb slips into the right little pocket for the mittens, an integral part of the sleeve, cover the hands to the first set of knuckles. With the dress is worn @ cape consisting of two silver foxes which cross in tlfe back and meet in front just under the chin.

 REDUCING? Go Strong On VEGETABLES! Avoid All Fried Foods
And Remember to Drink
BY ALICIA HART

Comes a sparkling spring day when something positively must he done about that too, too solid flesh. We want to be slim and beautiful right away for a party. for a new beau or a lovely spring dress.
 Fat cant be taken off in 8 few days or even in few weeks with out endangering your health. Ask your doctor. Let him decide what you ought to eat and how much exercise you can stand.
 More than likely his first ad- monition will be to watch your calories. The daily ration for the average person leading a not too active life is 1900 calories. How ever, you can still be adequately fed on 1,200 and lose weight at the same time. But be sure to ask the doctor before cutting down on any food element, for yours may be special case.
 Generally speaking, the vegeta- ble plate is the reducer's best friend. Green vegetables are bulky enough to quell that hungry feel ing, yet there is hardly a pound in a carload. The list is infinitely alluring - fresh peas, carrots, spinach, broccoli. cauliflower string beRns enough for diff ferent combination every day. No potatoes, of course, the old weight builders! But lots of salads of un- cooked fruits and vegetables, few in calories and good for the con- plexion.
 Meat for the reducing diet should be broiled or boiled, never fried. And then we come to des- serts, the sorest point with most reducers. Eat stewed or fresh fruit instead of ice cream, pie or plum pudding.
 For the rest, drink ten glasses of water day, sleep eight hours, walk a mile, swim, ride horse back or play tennis.

Claudia Cranston-God bless her has murdered off at least ,one of the superfuous stylists in the country. even though the bullet she fires travels only from one cover of her new book to the other. While I don't need to be quoted on this, probably Murder on Fifth Avenue" isn't quite gory enough for the average detective fan--it maybe doesn't raise your hair fast enough, but Claudia's re- lation of the murky situations of department store life will be ap- preciated by every person who ever worked in a store. And most people have tried 8 fling at time-clock punching. Once the customers have departed from a huge store, and the wax models stripped of their finery, it's open season for weird and morbid killing, and fur thieves turk in every shadow. Never mind if the plot of Murder on Fifth Avenue" is a bit SuuiShy-juSt re-
