Health Measures Wipe
Out Smallpox in Mexico

Mexico City, Mex.-So successful
has been the campaign of the fed
eral health authorities in Mexico
against the ravages of smallpox. a
plague that cost the lives of 17.4O5
persons in that country in 1920, that
it is well on the way toward being
wiped out, according to a report re-
Gently given out in Mexico, D. F.,
by DR.. Miguel E. Bustamente. chief
of the federal sanitary service in
the states. 1t is stated that
there are no fewer than 6S impor
tant cities and towns in the repub-
lie without single case of small
pox, while in eight other cities
there are only from one to three
cases.
Doctor Bustamente explains that
as fast as his agents clean up a
neighborhood and vaccinate the
population they move on into fresh
territory, so that it is merely a mat
ter of time when the whole country
will be practically immunized. He
estimates the deaths in the whole
country from smallpox this year as
much less than quarter of the
1920 figure.

Coach Wants Musicians
for Football Passers

Madison, Wis.-When coach
asks a prospective center if he is a
musician, the coach is not as crazy
as the candidate might suspect, DIR.
Clarence w. Spears, head football
coach at the University of Wiscon-
sin, revealed here.
A knowledge of music is a valu-
able asset to a good center, Speas
explained. In addition to big hands
and ability to pass accurately, a
sense of rhythm and timing is one
of the most essential qualifications
of a center, the coach said.
The center position is the most
important on the team, Spears said,
because his pass initiates every
play and a bad pass makes the
play at least 331s per cent ineffi-
cient.

sion of PWA. Just what effect the
new ruling of the Supreme Court
will have upon these projects is
problematical. 1t would be difficult
to forecast with any degree of GER

Consequently, Dover will have to
wait until the atmosphere has
cleared regarding the distribution
of public funds. A number of 9TH
er projects that were assured for
Dover will also be in suspension
until conditions are more definitely
outlined than at the present. No

FINISH ROAD
WORK AT DOVER
Eastern Boulevard and Kings
Highway Widening a Vast
Improvement
SILVER LAKE BRIDGE

| George & Lynch, contractors
have practically completed the wild
ening of Kings Highway from
Budd street to the intersection al
the airport. They have also run a
large storm-sewer pipe from the
intersection at the Airport, putting
in several crossings, draining all
the storm water from that area to
the creek south Of the highway
This will eliminate any future
trouble with flooding the power
house as occurred several times
about year ago which resulted in
considerable damage to the plant
as well as compelling a shutdown
of the generators. The Highway
Department has taken every pre-
caution to avoid a repetition of
these events which was due to the
large water shed concentrating in
and around the power plant. An
other great improvement this de-
partment has made is the construc-
tion of a sidewalk on the outside
of the bridge at the water works
which avoids the necessity of pc
destrians (mostly children) pass
ing in the direct path of traffic
crossing this bridge. This has
been a most dangerous point and
is remarkable because of the fact
that no one has been injured by
traffic while crossing this bridge.
This danger has now been COM
pletely eliminated and an artistic
walk provided. With the opening
of the eastern boulevard around
Dover the through high-speed traf-
fic over State street will be elm
mated and this will also apply to
all trucks running from the Milford
and Selbyville sections to the north.
1t is understood that very shortly
the bridge over Silver Lake will be
advertised for construction. This
also has been one of the most
sections on the entire

and safety when completed. Re

if you please.
Railroads put only their best en-
gineers on important runs like that.
What the railroad men mean by
the best engineer, is the one who
has taken his train out and
brought it in, time after time, wear
after year, without a thing to re-
gret. Now there's one thing about
this engineer that explains his good
record better than anything else.
He believes in signs. All along the
way there are signals that tell him
what to do, and he does exactly
what they say. When a semaphore
says slow down, he slows down,
Whenever he gets the sign of a
curve or grade, he adjusts his
speed accordingly. Every red and
green and amber light that comes
wlnklng through the darkness
means a definite order that he'd
never dream of ignoring. And when
a hare warns him of danger, he
just stops until he gets the 60 .

our station and on to the main .

We'll take good heed of our signals

a good many of us get to taking
those signals with grain of salt,
and after a while with so much
salt that if we aren't careful those
warnings may lose their meaning.
1t isn't hard to imagine what would
happen if the railroad engineer got
INTO that habit. He wouldn't be an
engineer very long. No matter
how many times his warnings
prove unnecessary, he still goes on
them as gospel truth.
And people who drive thousands of
miles every year tell us they have

UNITED STATES LOSING
FOREIGN COTTON MART

For more han a century
the United States has led the
world by a wide margin in
the cotton trade. On this
leadership has depended the
economic destiny of a half
a-dozen states.
Now the leadership is rap
idly being lost. For example.
during the twelve months
from July. 1888 to July,
1884. America exported al
most 100000 bales of cot
ton. During the twelve
months from July. l134. to
July. 1885. exports amount
ed TO s.sZ6.0 600 Lales. That.
says the L. ). News. meant
the loss Of n market for more
than 3.000.00U bales of cot
ton with value of more than
S150.000.000.
The drop was not due to
a general decline in the cot
ton trade. During the year
when American exports
were touching bottom, for
eign competitors increased
sales. Where we used to
supply 90 per cent of the
worlds cotton requirements,
we now supply less than IS
per cent, and the trend Is
still downward
Three primary reasons are
given for this unhappy con-
dition. First. prices in this
country are higher than those
Of other cotton producing
countries. because of the
governments cotton-pegging
policy. American cotton Is
under strict federal control.
buttressed by a price fixing
loan of II cents per pound.
Flowing under has reduced
our crop.
Second. new competitors
have appeared. Brazil, for
instance, formerly sold lit
tie cotton abroad, but VIII
have 100000 bales for the
foreign market next year.
Third, foreign users
bought large quantities OF
our cotton at low prices are
still using il.
OF the three reasons, gov
ernment policy is the most
important. Strong pressure
will be brought 10 bear in an
effort 10 change il, in the
hope that we may again re-
gain our position as the
worlds pre-eminent trader
