tured two forts from the British
and secvured a large supply of nee
essary war materials before sailing
for home.
Scores Of expeditions have been
made by the marines since that lit
tie force set forth from Tun Tav-
ern. Besides taking part in all the
big and little wars of our country,
they have fought pirates in the
Mediterranean and Caribbean,
stormed the barrier fort in Korea,
stalked Indians in the Everglades
of Florida, and battled with Boxers
in China
They have come to grips with
revolutionists in the republics of
Central America and the West In
dies. and fought the Spanish in the
Battles of Santiago and Manila.
Side by side with the Army and
Navy, they wrote their names in
the imperishable records of the
World War, and Belleau Wood in
France stands as an enduring mon
ument to their exploits on that bat
tlefield
Gradually they have passed from
the days of fiintlocks and fighting
tops, to machine and anti-aircraft
guns. Today they are skilled as
aviators, radio operators, artillery
men, engineers, and in every en-
ployment of modern warfare.
More than a century and a hall
ago they stood smartly at attention
when they were inspected by John
Paul Jones aboard the wooden fri
gate Ranger. Early in the last
century they were sailing the seas
on the Constitution (Old Ironsidesl
and taking part in the heroic sea
fights aboard that vessel.

PROUD of the antiquity of their
Corps, the U. S. Marines will reach
their 160th anniversary on Novem-
ber 10.
Before the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was signed, and long be-
fore Old Ironsides sailed the seas
the corps was created in IT'S to
aid the colonies in their first fight
for freedom. Drum beats of the
Revolution found an answering
echo in the establishment of a
corps of Marines.
The urgent necessity of placing
sells led the Continental Congress
then convened at Philadelphia, to
authorize the formation of two bat
talions on the date observed by the
sea soldiers as their birthday.
Shortly afterward Benjamin
Franklin saw fife and drum corps
parading through the streets of the
Quaker City. Their swallow-tail
coats were green, faced with red
and they wore green shirts. white
wooden jackets, light colored cloth
breeches, woolen stockings. and a
round hat with white binding.
But Franklin was mostly i'm
pressed with the device borne on
their drums, which he described in
letter to friend as a rattlesnake
with this motto underneath it
Don't tread on mel"
An old hostelry on the Delaware
waterfront, called Tun Tavern, was
the rendezvou of these marines
From there they left to board fri
gates Of our new Navy for thei
first expedition to the West Indies
In March, 1776, they landed al

A Little Girls PRAYER

By W. D. Greene, Clayton. Del
Dear God, I want to ask a great
big favor,
Oh! won't you make my Mamma
well again?
I know that you are able God, to
save her
And raise her from that awful bed
of pain.
Last year you took away my darI-
ing Daddy,
And oh! dear God, 1 thought that
I should die,
They carried him out to the GEM
etery;
i cried and cried until I couldn't
cry.
Please God, you have so many,
many angels,
You sure can spare my Mamma
for while,
For what could I do, God, without
dear Mamma,
Her gentle love and tender loving
smile?
Dear God, they say you are great
physician,
Please won't you make my Mamma
well again,
So she can take me in her arms
and love me?
I'll be a good girl, thank you God,
Ameni

PLEA TO SPORTSMEN

With the turning of the leaves
from green to brown and the grass
from green to yellow, Delaware
guner's thoughts turn to the open
field once again as they begin
cleaning up the old shooting iron
in preparation for the Fall cunning
season. At day break, Friday,
November Is, the sound of shots
and barking dogs will be heard in
the three counties of Delaware as
rabbit cunning enthusiasts begin
the annual month and half cam
paign after the bounding bunny.
Along with rabbits the law also al
lows you to shoot at a quail if
your taste runs in that direction.
Duck, geese, brant and snipe gum
ners will have to wait until No
vember 20 for their sport and be-
cause these are migratory birds
and come under the jurisdiction of
the Federal Government, this sea-
son will last only until December
10. Last year the ducklng season
was split up into three days of
cunning each week. However, be-
cause of the large number of COM
plants, the law was changed so
that you may gun six days a week
this year. The Federal Migratory
Bird stamp Is still necessary.
There will be plenty of gunners
afield this year. according to Chief
Game Warden Clarence S. Foster,
who says that the magistrates
throughout Delaware have sold

es with the season still two weeks
