ing bulletins, a list of manuscripts
which have been submitted for
publication as well as researches
now in progress; also a statement
concerning specific Investigations
which are needed in the field of
geology, zoology and botany, a list
of the publications of the survey
with an inventory of those still
available, together with the price
of each, and q financial statement
of the survey from July 1, 1929
to June 80, 1888.
Although this bulletin is an adj
ministrative report and contains no
scietific information, it Is the in
tention of the survely to distribute
1t to colleges, public libraries, sci
entists, scietific institutions, teach
ers and others who require II for
their work, insofar as the supply of
the bulletin and the funds Of the
surve Twill permit, especially to
those in Connecticut. The price is
10 cents postpaid.
Due to the fact that the 1888
Connecticut General Assembly
made no appropriation for the
Connecticut Geological and Natural
History Survey for the biennial
period from 1893 to 1895, not only
has the work of the survey been
Interrupted, but 1t has become
necessary to discontinue the liberal

If it appears too hard to get a

Practically all factions and

to grant it.
But how, when, and on what

GRANDMA'S ADVICE

My grandma lived on yonder little
green;
Fine old lady as ever was seen.
She often cautioned me with care,
OF all false young men to beware.
Tim-e-i, tim-e-um, tum tim-e-um
pa-ta,
OF all false young men to beware.
These false young men, they fiatter
and deceive.
So. my love, you must not believe;
They'll fiatter, they'll coax, till you
are in their snare,
And away goes poor old grandma's
Tim-e-i. tim-e-um. tum tim-e-um

OF all false young men to beware.
The first came accounting was little
Johnny Green,
Fine young man as ever was seen;
But the words of my grandma ran
in my head,
And could not hear one word he
said,
Tim-e-i, tim-e-um, tum tim-e-um
pa-ta,
And l could not hear one word he
said.
The next came accounting was young
Ellis Grove;
Twas then We met with a joyous
love;
With a joyous love l couldn't be
afraid,
You'd better get married than die
an old maid.
Tim-e-i, tim-e-um. tum tim-e-um
pa-ta,
You'd better get married than die
an old maid. .-.. '..
Thinks to myself there's some
mistake:
What fuss these old folks make.
If the boys and girls had all been
so afraid,
Then grandma herself would have
died an old maid,
Tim-e-i, tim-e-um, tum tim-e-um

Then grandma herself would have

each have a tree. And each knows
all about his own tree and the
others. The oak and elm were plant
ed when Pete and Margery we're
born, just as this little maple was
planted for their new sister today.
AS soon as they are old enough.
they are taught to care for their
trees-to water them, keep weeds
away and so forth. We have taught
them the habits and history of the
trees and all the fascinating little
stories, myths and legends connect
ed with them. Interest In their own
trees, of course. makes them curious
about other species; and the study
of trees leads on to other things in
nature-the flowers, the birds, the
seasons. So we are making pretty
good naturalists out Of our youngs-
tiers. Their mother and / are great
lovers OF nature, but we were
afraid that in this swift age, the
children would not take an interest
in such things"
$50 you safeguarded against that
by beginning atsthe very beginning,
the day each was born?"
Exactly. We have made a game
of the birthday trees. And it has
worked well. 1t has helped in their
physical training, too. A child, you
must know, is supposed to march
along with his birthday tree, grow
ing bigger. stronger. Drawer and
more beautiful. day by day. If Peter
and Margery get contrary with re-
gard to diet or sleep, a hint about
their trees getting ahead of them Is
pretty sure to be sufficient"

tribute Of respect to the former
Chief Justice and then spoke of his
associations with him. He remind
ed bis auditors that Judge Penne-
will had been a member Of the bar
for SO years and that "a of those
years had been spent on the bench
as chief justice.
Mr.. Curley also paid tribute to
Judge Pennewill as a man, as a
lawyer and as a judge. and he re-
ferred to the love the members OF
the bar have for him. pointing out
that the watch was a token of their
affection and the respect all of
them have for him.
Judge Pennewill, In responding.
expressed his deep appreciation. He
then gave his recollections of the
years he has spent as an active
attorney and while on the bench
and spoke at length OF the many
members of the bar who have left
Delaware to practice elsewhere and
who have attained outstanding sue
cess as lawyers and In every public
life. He referred to the difference in
practice now and when he was
first admitted to law, but stressed
the fact that the same ideals still
hold on the qualifications of menu
bers of the association. He admon-
ished the younger members of the
bar to be fair at all times with their
clients and never to do anything
that would bring reproach on their
profession.
In closing he paid tribute to the
late Judge H. L. Rice and also to
f C. HardestY for his faithful SER

and more thorough housekeeping is
necessary in the home itself now
tina THE children are there more
constantly, and the danger zOnes
for children, such as stoves, the
medicine chest, the stairs, and the
sewing bastret where the seseeoFs
are kept, will have to be guarded
with increased diligence.
The Council stresses at this time
the importance OF extreme care on
outings and picnics, for this is the
season when deaths from drowning
are on the increase, and these trag-
edies are often avoidable through
only the application Of the simplest
safety principles. Greater danger

duce the chances OF automobile IA
talities. However, the fact that chill
dren should not play on the streets

accidents which occur when chill

will save much suffering and in

The Delaware Safety Council is

Il opposed most of the Admins

Representative Adams may be a

Some of his supporters favor his
entry into the Senate race on

If Adams runs, his support of the

siderably by the. increased acreage

planted to late potatoes.
Cabbage Market Weak
Trading in cabbage has been light
in the market centers and general
tone weak. Virginia cabbage is
selling as low as 25 to so cents per
IL bushel hamper in several mar
kets but reached rs cents or more
in Pittsburgh. Condition of cabbage
throughout the country is rather
low, averaging only about 60 COM
pared with 80 year ago but gem
eral increase of acreage has kept
shipments heavy and even a late
crop may be fairly large because of
heavy planting this season.
onions from the south and west
have made further price gains since
early in the month. Supplies are
moderate and demand slow to fairly
active. Good Texas stock brings
$3.50 to 50 per so pounds in eastern
'cities, nearly double the price at the
lowest of the spring season. Con-
dition of the late onion crop is good
in the east but rather low in the
middle west according to early June
reports which do not include prob
able improvements since the June
rains.
Lettuce supplies are liberal, trad
ing rather slow and demand confined
mainly to best stock, which IS SELL
ing considerably below the highest
prices of the spring rise. Quotations
for eastern New York lettuce ranged
Is to SO cents per twO-dozen crate
in New York market and New Jer-
sey stock sells from so to IS cents
in several eastern cities. The mar
kets were somewhat injured by re-
ceipt of considerable poor stock
from the west which brings low
prices. Lettuce from the Oswego
section in New York is beginning to
appear.
The market for the limited supply
oil sweet potatoes of good quality
continues strong. Best lots of New
Jersey stock bring $1.75 to 50 a
bushel, second grade IS cents to
SIPS and Delaware bushels mostly
a little below 50. Prices OF eastern
sweet potatoes have averaged con-
siderably higher than those of LIST
season.
Green peas are still In limited sup
Ely and stock of good quality sells
rather high, exceeding SO bushei
for some western receipts and 50 for
large New Jersey peas. Poor to fair
stock ranges IS cents to SIPS. Vir-
ginia Eastern Shore is about done
but truck shipments from Maryland
are still quite heavy and the more
northern sections are entering the
market. Green beans from Mary
land and Virginia sell as low as SO
to rs cents a bnshel In a few mar
kets but good stock sells from 81
to $3.50 In most eastern cities, in
liberal receipts from North
and South Carolina. Virginia beans
sold as high as 81 for best lots In
Cleveland and reached $3.50 in De-
trOit.
Apples Start High
The first new apples of the season
from Tennessee started fairly high
ia few markets at s2.75 to SO per
bushel for medium to small Trans
parents, which is about 81 higher
than at corresponding time last year.
Apple crop prospects seem rather
poor except in some western pro-
iucing sections. Supplies from the
Valley and other south
