pression-but those were hungry days
when Mister and Misses had to pull in
their belts and eat less.
So there is a degree of comfort to
be found in the sales rooms of dealers
in Washington and other large cities
to find that despite strikes, and higher
manufacturing and material costs, and
also increases of 10, plus 5 per cent,
ETC., to workers, that you can buy a
better Buick than was ever made be-
fore at approximately 4 per cent, on
the average, increase over last year.
This seems to give the public a bet
ter edge in a market of rising prices
than anyone has expected. 1t just
shows how our progressive industries
constantly increase their efficiency in
order that they may render a fuller
degree of service to the public.
With all our ups and downs, the
people of our gfeat nation always stay
a few jumps ahead Of the rest of the
world.

People Affected By
Changed Business WAYS

The All Club Corn Judging Con-
test, of which C. E. McCauley, State
All Club Agent At Large, is in charge
will be held in Wolf Hall on the Uni
versity of Delaware Campus, Satur-
day morning, January 8, beginning at
ten o'clock. The youthful corn experts
will be expected to select the best ten
ears and single ear samples of both
white and yellow corn from several
samples of eNch variety. Each of the
contestants will be given a score card
and asked to score the corn which is to
be judged. The score cards will then
be graded and the contestants who
most consistently selects the correct
samples as being best and who pres
ents the best reasons for his selections
will be awarded honor.
McCauley said that All Club men,
bers would compete for County awards
in the form of scholarships to the an
nual All Club Short Courses, which
is held at the University each June.
In addition, a state champion will be
selected.
"Such contests" McCauley said,
"help our future agriculturists learn
how to be better farmers. In prepar-
ing for these contests, they must
study some phase of agriculture, in
this case it is corn. These lads, to
be able to show up well in the contest,
must know corn, what it should be like
and how to select good corn from all
kinds of samples. In the future,
they will be better able to select good
seed corn and, consequently, will make
better farmers"

MANY TOURISTS
WEND THEIR WAY
TO WILLIAMSBURG

Hundreds of visitors, whose license
plates show them to be from every
state in the Union, go to Williams
burg, Va, to see the magic results of
the Restoration of Williamsburg. They
see old Burton Church and William
and Mary College, and many buildings
that were built before there was such
political organization as the United
States.
That which is old along Duke of
Gloucester Street" and in other parts
of the town are fine settings for all
that is included in the Restoration.
First, there is the restored British
Capitol, with reminders of English
Governors and American patriots,
George Washington, Patrick Henry,
Benjamin Harrison and scores of 9TH
ers. In this building the House of
Burgess; reproduced, with the original
chair of the presiding officer. Rich
reproductions of furnishing and relics
and paintings of English kings and
queens and also of early American
revolutionists. These are but parts
of the restored Capitol, with the flag
of Britain flying over it's top.
The Governors Place is like the
halls of the richest monarchs, in gran
deur, furnishings and prize relics.
Raleigh Tavern lives again, in new
walls, but with a setting inside and

The wheels of Government and pri-
vate business are revolving in har-
mony and perfect gear in the efforts of
Congress to carry out the recommen-
dations of President Roosevelt in be-
half of what he said "from the point
of view of widespread and sustained
economic recovery, housing constitutes
the largest and most promising single
field for private enterprise" The
President added: Cali business needs
the infusion of orders and the diffus-
ion of purchasing power that come
when building is thriving. Great mum
bers of people look dicertly or indi-
rectly to the construction industry
for employment"
One of the most important COM
munications from the construction in
dustry has reached Senator Lewis, of
Illinois, from one of his constituents,
Brother G. Dahlberg, president of the
Celotex Corporation, in which that
national leader in the building ma
terials industry shows that residen-
tial and industrial building in 1925
represented an outlay of about SILL
000,O00,000 in wages, materials, ap-
pliances and construction equipment.
Building is the core of inter-related
industries and businesses" says Mr..
Dahlberg. He incorporates in his
communication for the consideration
of Congress two definite proposals, as
follows:
1. Permitting any corporation to
build and equip new buildings, re-
habilitate present buildings, buy and
install new equipment, making the
cost thereof deductible, either in one
year or over a limited number of
years, before Federal income, capital
gains or surplus taxes are computed.
2. Permitting any individual to
build new dwelling for his own oc-
cupancy or to remodel an existing
dwelling for his own occupancy, max
ing the cost thereby deductible from
his taxable income, either in one year
or over limited period of years, be-
fore Federal taxes are computed"
The effect of incorporating these
suggestions "would give tax relief for
a specific purpose and would assure
the use of the money thus made avail
able for that purpose, namely, con-
struction," says Dahlberg, who adds:
"a great number of companies and in
dividuals undoubtedly would immed-
lately engage in new construction and
remodeling if they could use funds
from current earnings for this. pur-
pose without having to pay Federal
taxes on earnings so used. It is OBJ
vious that major improvement in
general business will find direct re-
Election in reduced government ex-
penditures for relief and lessen the de-
mand for government expenditures of
a pump printing nature"

SERVICE NEVER

America always expects increased
results from research and science be-
cause the great laboratories of our
new industrial age never let us down.
In more personal way a large per-
centage of our human population go
along under the impression that the
"other fellows" income always seems
to be going up while our own remains
insufficient. We try to convince our
selves of our own shortage of expecta-

contrary. To be sure rent has risen

SENATOR BARKLEY
MAKES APPEAL
FOR SENTIMENT

Senator Barley of Kentucky, the
hard working and efficient Majority
Leader in the upper House, gave the
country an unexpected glimpse of his
SOFTER" side when he devoted a large
part of his recent public address in
Cleveland to an appeal for sentiment.
The speech was delivered at the an
nual convention of the Memorial
Craftsmen of America before an aud
fence of quarrymen, designers, artists,
craftsmen and retailers representing
every branch of the monument indus
try.
Before this gathering of experts the
Kentucky orator praised the inspira-
tional influence of memorials. both
public and private. 'They are ex-
pressions," he said "of our reverence
for those who have wrought and died
in the great struggle for human prog
ress."
He gently chided Americans for be-
ing ashamed to show sentiment. "The
truth is" he said, 1--WE in America are
actuated by sentiment as much as
any people on the earth. The emotions
of love and loyalty and hero worship
are as strong in our hearts as in the
hearts of any other people. We differ
partly and only partly in the outward
manifestations of those emotions. We
must not allow this tendency in
America to be festered. We must not
allow the nobility of character, the

mands from all over the country are
flooding the Capital to "let up on &C
tivities or measures that are slowing
down business.
Congress apparently reacts to the
danger of bringing private business
more and more under control of the
Government. While labor organiza-
lions are crowding in their views for
further advantages in the way of
wages and hours whole States are op-
posed to measures that would call

memory of great hardships and sacri-
fees which have marked our progress
as a people to be submerged by our
regard for the counting house. We
must perpetuate in town and city and
countryside the great deeds and char
acters of the dead as beacon lights for
the living"
In support of his statement that sen
timent is as strange a force in Amer
lea as anywhere on earth the Senator
spoke of the throngs that visit the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the
Washington Monument and the Lin
coin Memorial and other famous me-
MORALS in the national capital.
