WILMINGTON DAY-oCToBER IS
Elaborate Arrangements For Special
Sales Event To Be Held
Above Date

Wilmington merchants, under the
auspices of the Mercantile Section of
the Chamber of Commerce, have an
nounced that the "Official Fall Wilm-
ington Day" will be held ON Wednes-
day, October 49,, in which event all
Wilmington stores will cooperate for
the benefit of their customers in all
parts of the Peninsula.
Every possible effort has been
made by retail merchants of Wilm-
ington to provide the most attractive
and economical purchasing event
which has been offered to the house
wives of the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
and adjacent counties of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey for many
years.
In every line of retail merchandise
ing, including articles of home
utilities, clothing and miscellaneous
items used by every member of a
family, through a wide generality of
merchandise for every purpose, the
most thorough effort has been made
by Wilmington retailers to furnish

CHARACTERISTICS OF TREES
IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE

knowledge of the characteristics of
various trees is just as important to
the butcher, baker and candlestick
maker as it is to the farmer, and even
those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits are not any too familiar with
these particular traits, according to
Walter w. Simonds, forester for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
Mr.. Simonds points out tina. few
persons will disagree that the aver
age farmer should know that locust
makes better fence posts than tulip
poplar and that hickory makes
stronger tool handles than red oak.
Yet, there are many less obvious
facts than these which might save
dollars and even human lives if they
were better known by the average
man in the street.
For example, practically all people
appreciate the fact it is considered
dangerous to stand under tree dur
ing an electrical storm. Few, how
ever, are aware of the fact that not
all trees are susceptible to being
struck by lightning. Recent investi-
cation has shown that oaks, elms,
pines, poplars, willows and ashes, in
the order named, are most. sus-
ceptible to beng struck. On the
other hand, there is no record of a
beech, holly, birch or horse chestnut
having been struck by lightning.
In planting trees around the house
or along the street or sidewalk It is
we'll to remember that some trees
cause more dirt and litter than
others. Red naples, in addition to
being short lived, are susceptible to
breakage during heavy sleet and
snow storms. Horse chestnuts burs
and nuts form another nuisance and
the slippery catkins of poplar trees
provide menace to pedestrians and
traffic in the spring of the year.
Last, but by no means least, home
owners are warned to exercise care
in the selection of naples as shade
trees. 1t is pointed out that while
this particular tree is extremely
popular only two or three out of ten
or more indigenous varieties are
satisfactory.

thoroughly, economically and salts
factorily the requirements of The
throng of visiting shoppers who, past
experience indicates, will take adj
vantage of the special day in all
Wilmington stores.
In addition to furnishing shoppers
the opportunity to avail themselves
of unusual bargains, this event also
will offer an opportunity to inspect,
as result of wide cooperation of
merchants, the display of the latest
creation in Fall merchandise of every
character. For the last month the
purchasing authorities of Whining
ON stores, as we'll as the authorities
If the Mercantile Section, have been
exercising every possible endeavor to
conduct a merchandising event which
will excel any other ever held under
heir auspices.
Through the courtesy of the De-
partment of Public Safety, parking
coupons are printed in this paper for
he benefit of motoring visitors.
These should be clipped from the
paper and affixed prominently on
motor cars.
Wide publicity has been given to
this event, and merchants are empha-
sizing the advantages of early shop
ping.

MARYLAND MAKES PROGRESS IN
BANGS DISEASE TESTS

Herds of cattle to the number of
1,47S were tested for Bangs disease
in Maryland during the 10 months
ending August 1, 1896, according to
a report received by the County
Agent.
The number of cattle contained in
the herds which have been tested
for Bangs disease in this State total
1924. OF the 1,478 herds tested,
IT'S herds were found to be infected
with Bangs disease. These infected
herds contained 1873 cattle of
which 1862 were reactors to the test.
OF the total number of cattle in herds
found to be infected with Bangs dis
ease, EOS per cent were reactors.
Only 1856 per cent of all cattle test
ed in this State reacted to the test.
These percentages compare with
20.33 per cnt and 11.24 per cent, re-
spectively, for the country as a whole.
Eradication of Bangs disease is
being carried out on a Nationwide
scale ON a cooperative basis between
the States and the Federal Govern
ment. Funds for this program were
made available to the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration by the
LaFollette amendment to the Jones'
Connally Act. The Nationwide test
ing program started in July 1894.
Indemnities are paid to owners of
cattle which show positive reaction
to the Bangs test. Additional funds
for continuance of the testing work
were made available by the first ses-
sion of the Seventy-fourth Congress,
which just closed.
Sixteen herds have been tested in
Cecil county under the Federal plan.
The testing is being done under the
supervision Of DR.. VIM. Robert
Teeter, formerly of Lewisville.

GREETINGS
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

l know my wife will greet me,
When the good ship rounds the bar
And l step from the deck of that
vessel,
Where nothing more can mar.
We can almost hear them singing,
AS the good ship nears the shore
We will meet again together,
And never part any more.
That land where all is glory
No heartaches over there.
To be with our loved ones forever;
Beautiful, bright and fair.
The light of Gods love shines
brighter,
AS the evening shadows fall,
And the echo comes back sweeter,
From homeland's loving call.

ONE HUNDRED MILE CHAMPION.
SHIP RACE AT LANGHORNE
SPEEDWAY

Langhorne, Pa, Oct. 9.-High-
powered two-man speedway cars,
driven by the foremost drivers of the
nation and also manned by riding
mechanic, will hurtle into action for
the first time in the history of the
Langhorne Speedway at the huge
course here Sunday afternoon in a
1O0-mile national championship au-
tomobile race.
Big stakes are offered by the
championship speed classic, which
will close the 1895 Eastern racing
season. The prize money totals
$4,000, additional cash bonuses run
up into the hundreds and points are
offered toward the national cham
pionship, which has an estimated
value of $4,000 to the winner.
Kelly Petillo, colorful little Los
Angeles sensation, who won the In
dianapolis 500-mile race, will be out
to clinch the highly valued speed
crown. Kelly is being hard pushed
in his title bid by such brilliant rae
ing stalwarts as wild Bill" Cum
mings, Wilbur Shaw, Floyd Roberts,
Chef Gardner and Billy VIM.
Petillo and Winn loom as the out
standing favorites to finish first.
Kelly must push his mount to the
utmost in order to win or otherwise
his chance sof sharing the speed
diadem will be greatly jeopardized.
Winn, with two successive triumphs
in 10O-mile title races to his credit,
is certain to finish high.
The diminutive Detroit driver took
first honors at Springfield, ILL.,, and
Syracuse, N Y, in sensational
fashion. He shattered three long
standing worlds speed records at
Syracuse, N. Y, in sensational
fashion, with his new Miller Special,
which he will drive.
Winn is the fifth ranking driver
In the country, a ratlng resulting
from his two century" wins and
sixth place he took at Indianapolis,
when he teamed with Shorty Canton.
Roberts, fourth place winner a: In
dianapolis and holder of the same
position in the national standings,
and Chef Gardner, sixth ranking
driver, are also expected to finish
high in the money. Doc Mackenzie,
1895 Eastern champion, is still dick
ering for a car. If he gets a good
mount, he should finish well up
front.
Time trials for the big race will
be held Saturday afternoon, with all
cars attempting to qualify for the big
race the following afternoon.

FRANCE

Prenatal Care: Prenatal centers at
which expectant mothers are given
physical examinations and advice on
proper care during the prenatal period
exist in many of the larger cities of
France; they are maintained by well
fare societies, mutual-aid organiza-
lions, business establishments, and
municipalities. They function usual
ly in connection with hospitals,
maternity homes, and infant-health
centers. Some prenatal centers en-
ploy nurses to visit the mothers at
their homes.
Child-Health Centers: Child-health
centers have been organized in some
places in France by the local health
departments, in others by the munich
palities, in still others by private So
cieties or large employers of labor.
All child-health centers are subsidiz-
ed by the National Ministry of
Health; they are considered the most
useful agency for preventing infant
mortality and encouraging breast
feeding. Most of these centers in
France are stationary; but travelling
centers function in some rural district.
SWEDEN
Prenatal Care: In one district in
Sweden in which expectant mothers
were examined it was found that
eclampsia was one-fifth as frequent
among the examined mothers as
among those who did not come to the
centers; in another it was found that
digestive disturbances, ricketts,, and
who had been examined and whose
mothers had received advice on their
care.
Child Hygiene In Rural Districts:
A considerable part of the child
hygiene work in the rural districts
of Sweden is done by the local public
health officer, assisted in some places
by midwives and nurses who are also
employed by the local government.
Lecture courses on child hygiene
for mothers are part of this work.
Physical examinations of school
children and instruction in hygiene
are provided in most of the schools.
The importance of cooperation be-
tween home and school as means of
improving the child's health is
stressed.
Public Health Nurses And Mid
Wives: Public-health nurses and mid
wives are employed by the munich
palities. The National Department
Of Health of Sweden supervises their
training and their work.

DOLLAR ADVANCES
ABOVE OLD PARITY
Touches 4.8334 in Terms
of Pound at London
Before Easing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 15.-The United
States dollar today jumped in value
as compared to the British pound
above its old-time parity, when both
currencies were on the gold standard,
reaching a quotation of 48334 to the
pound in unofficial trading.
The close of the sales after regular
banking hours saw the value slip to
about 485, but even at that price the
dollar was more valuable in relation
to the pound than it had been at any
time since November, 1888.
The old-time gold-and-g parity
was 486l2 to the pound, so that to-
days sales saw it reach a point actu-
ally 234 cents to the pound better than
the old parity.
Despite the fact the dollar was
far beyond the point where It is
profitable to ship gold to the United
States, there was no gold movement.
Bankers said that if the United
States Supreme Court found abroga-
ton of the gold clause unconstitu-
tional and the old gold ratio was re-
stored, they would face heavy losses
from such shipments.
The market was very nervous as it
awaited the courts decision Finan-
cial quarters were uncertain what
President Roosevelt would do to
remedy the situation in case the
Supreme Court decided against the
Government.
