CHICAGO, March 2-In the face
of a violent tumble in British eX-

played notable firmnesS early today.
Chicago trade authorities said action
of sterling suggested gold crisis
abroad, with strong accompanying
possibilities of initiation. Opening un-

wheat then held near this range. Corn
also started unchanged to as up, May

little.
With gold and silver soaring today
TO fresh top price records at London,
all else but financial factors were
secondary for the time being in the
grain pits. AS result Of prevailing
money uncertainties, however, the
volume of grain dealings dwindled,
with traders inclined to go slow on
either side of the market at least
until the confusion of foreign ex-
change movements has been measure
ably cleared up. At some stages, ow-
ing to lack of new buying, wheat
prices fell slightly below yesterdays
finish.
Corn and oats were affected by the
same conditions as wheat. In some
quarters, it was pointed out that
other things being equal, Argentina
could now offer rye and oats at more
than p cent a bushel cheaper be-
cause of the sharp drop in sterling the
past two days.

THEY FEAR PEPPER

There is no chance of Gehrig ov- ertahing the Tigers star as far as runs batted in goes, but he now occupies the position of runner-up in that department. He has already stepped out in front in the runs scored column.
 Pepper Martin has not been mak- ing any threatening gestures as: far as winning the National League bat ting crown is concerned, but there isn't a player in the senior circuit who is more genuinely feared by the opposing pitchers. It is not that Pepper is such a dangerous man at the late, there are others who are outhitting him by 80 points, but the fact that he manages to get on base too often and then proceeds to 'get in the halr' of the man on the mound. The Wild Horse of the OSage is again rampant on the baselines and manages to annoy the pitchers no end He just seems to get under their skin. There isn't a pitcher in the National League who would hesitate to name Pepper as the last man they want to see out there prancing around a bag. They never know exactly what he is going to pull. That same uneasiness is reflect ed in the work of the infielders. Martin worries 'em to death and thoroughly enjoys doing it.

 About Baseball
(By The Associated Press)

Apparently Lou Gehrig is going to borrow a page from the St. Louis Cardinals book and depend on a last minute surge to again win the slugging and batting honors of the American League. Until the Yan- kees final western swing Gehrig has shown no signs of shaking off the slump that plagued him since the season opened. In trying to place the blame for the big first baseman's failure to set the league alive with his bat and to carry on where his pal, Babe Ruth left off, some point ed to the transforming jaunt in the Far East; others suggested that he needed his bell COW, Babe Ruth, to show him the Way,While many were satisfied that it was simply a case of lover baseballing' due to Lou's efforts to proIong his consecutive games streak beyond the reach of future generations of big leagues.
 Gehrig himself held with none of these speculations, he just stuck to his job of doing the very best he could and he hoped he would leap from the slump in short order just as he had done on other occasions. In the meantime a new pretender to the slugging throne sprung up in the person of Hank Greenberg, who had merry old time setting the pace in home runs, runs batted in, runs scored, doubles, and in staying right up with the leaders for the individual batting championship.

THE MONTH OF WINDS

March has always been famed as
a month of wind. The change be-
tween winter and summer, stirs the
airs of heaven to unusual activity,
and this clustering fellow March ruff
fies our tempers, blows our hats in
to the gutter, and works impish
pranks with the lady's skirts.
Does wind bother you, and upset
your equanimity? If so, don't let it.
Young, strong, and vigorous people
are apt to like wind. They feel it
quickens the blood and the footsteps,
and they like the feeling that they
can meet and conquer it. If wind
bothers us too much, it may be a
sign we are growing old.
A good bright windy day blows
unhealthy airs out of our towns, and
gives us fresh supplies of life from
Natures treasury of health. Let us
not fret if it ruffles our plumage a
bit.

sLOMTNG DOWN

One Of the fundamental ideas oil
the church period Of Lent, is that
people should live less feverish, and
give less time to the excitements Ol
society. For many years, there was
distinct let-up during that period
in parties and dances. The church
preached the doctrine that the ex-
cited pursuit of pleasure should be
checked, while people meditated on
the meaning of life.
1t is hard to induce people. to do
any mediating in these times. Mod
ern life is not suited to reflection.
The favorite motto is Go it while
you're young" and many continue
to go it until they are old.
1t is the age of speed. You real
ize that when you go out on the
roads with a car. and see people
who used to be shocked when an
automobile ran 25 miles an hour,
now driving their cars so and 60
miles per hour without a Qualm,
Our people are impatient with slow
motions.
There are of course plenty of
folks who live quiet lives. During
the past few years, when money has
not been too plentiful. it has been
cheaper to stay at home. and for
many there was not much else to
do. Such folks do not have to worry
about slowing down. Something
that would start them up would do
them more good.
However. the prevailing tempo of
the American people is one Of haste.
There are more people who live too
fast than of those who live too slow.
II does not hurt people a particle,
after their days work is over, to
sit down quietly in the home nest,
and read the newspaper and listen
to the radio. The society folks who
used to slow up during Lent came
straint.

MILFORD AND OUR neighboring
towns and rural sections are to be
congratulated upon the successful
completion of their campaign to
raise a building fund for the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital. While
the goal of S15O,OOO was not reached
when the final workers meeting
was held last Monday night, it is
certain that the remaining $4,000
will be secured within reasonable
time. The new building to be erect
ed will cost much more than the
S15O,OOO secured through the cam
paign for contributions; but means
of securing the money from other
sources are assured once the $780,
900 has been raised The new hos
pital to be erected in Milford will
serve all of lower Delaware. 1t will
be modern in every respect and will
rank among the best of the smaller
hospitals in the nation. Every resi-
dent of Kent and Sussex County who
is financially able should contribute
to this worthy institution. If by
any oversight any person has been
overlooked during the drive for
funds, it is not too late to send in
a subscription. Do it now and get

APRIL FOOL JOKES

One of the funny old customs that
has come down out of countless
dark ages, is that of the April Food
Joke. 1t is a singular thing how
these old customs persist, without
any special reason. Back 5000 years
ago, people were probably playing
their pranks on each other at this
aotime of year. Our ancestors 200
generations ago were probably
sending each other for left-handed
screw-drivers, if they had any such
tools, and feeding their friends with
wool doughnuts.
The chances that we shall be
fooled on an April Fool joke are
not so great as they were. The
world has grown more sophisticated.
1t has more subtle ways of making
people look ridiculous. You may
not be tempted to pick up the purse
nailed to the sidewalk, because your
friends probably consider it too
crude form of humor. But they will
be playing their little games on you.
III one sense. every day is April
Fools day now.
1t is not well to become annoyed
when the world works off some fool
ish joke on us. 1t is a suggestion
that we have to keep our wits with
us when we engage in the give and .
take of life. The man who gets
sour and cross because he is fooled
at April 1st or any other time is not
well fitted to engage in the rough
and tumble of life His skin is too
thin, and it needs to be toughened
a bit.
The world is full of jokers, whose
greatest satisfaction is to make
somebody else look ridiculous. They
may amuse themselves nightly
thereby, but it does not help one
win the prizes of life.
However, a sense of humor is a
mighty fine thing, and many people i
who lack it get into all kinds of +
trouble. If you take life too seri- I
Ously, the world will laugh at you. +

THE M0RLD non HEARTLEss

The world is said to be cold and
heartless place, but when somebody
is in trouble, the outpourings OF
sympathy show a deep kindliness
under the surface. Take the case
of Alyce McHenry, the little Omaha,
Nebraska, girl who was operated on
at Fall River, Massachusetts, for an
inverted stomach. That little girl
had received $4,000 letters, gifts,
and other mail matter a few days
ago, and they are still coming.
Such expressions do credit to gen.
erous hearts. However, many peo-
pie who are in urgent need of SYM
pathy never get it. That is usually
because their sad story is never
printed in any newspaper. Prob
ably we should all be more con-
scious of the tragedies daily enacted
in our home neighborhoods, which
call for the loving word. and prac-
tical generosity.

BACKINGG OUT FROM CrRR

The National Safety Council says
that it is not enough for the motor
ist to signal when he is backing out
from a curb. He must be sure that
he gets into the traffic without en-
dangering other drivers.
Too many motorists thing under
those circumstances, that if they
give their horns a good toot, that is
enough, and every driver who comes
along must look out for them. So
they push their cars back, without
looking into the traffic, and count
less accidents result. The driver
who does that thing without looking
is. likely to have a car with a crump-
led rear end as a souvenir of his
merry habits.

TIME OF BIRD SINGING

"The time of the singing of birds
is come" wrote the scriptural au-
thor some $500 years ago. Thus
back in that dim dawn Of antiquity,
the voice of the little songster gave
just the same pleasure that it does
today.
Countless men and women, dis
heartened by the harsh facts of life,
have felt encouraged and sustained
when they heard that ripping little
melody pour forth from some &C.
static throat. 1t has seemed to them
that the world. must be essentially
friendly, when it produces such
sounds of loveliness out of every
tree and bush.
No art of man can create a musi-
cal tone that has the infinite sweet
ness of a robin, a mockingbird, or
thrush. Hearing the birdsongs Of
spring, the world goes its way with
more cheerful thought.

AN HONEST DAYS WORK

A leading college president says
his institution wants only boys who
are willing to do an honest days
work" What constitutes an honest
days work?
In schools, the students are pro-
vided with an education that cost
very much money. and if they fail
to do their best to get the benefits
of that education, they are not pay
ing back the debt they owe. On any
kind of a job. your employer hires
your brains as well as your hands.
If you merely keep your hands GO
ing, or perform the processes of
your job in a mechanical and un-
thinking way, while your brain is
failing to give the direction it should.
you too are failing to pay the full
debt you owe.
