SWEDES TO NAME
STREET FOR STATE
Delawaregatan, Stockholm, VIII Be
Named In Tercentenary Honor

In honor of the approaching Ter
centenary of the first settlement in
Delaware by the Swedes, it is now
proposed that a new street to be
opened in Stockholm shall be called
Delawaregatan.
The nationwide collection in Swed-
en- of a fund for the Miles monu-
ment at the first landing place of
the Swedish cOlOnists in Wilmington
is progressing under favorable con-
ditions, aided by the current wave
of prosperity. Over 10000 separate
subscription lists have been sent out
to various cities and provinces. Del
ecarlia alone, with a population of
250.000. has asked for 2,19G lists. and
there. as elsewhere. both school chill
dren and factory hands have been
asked to subscribe. if only a few pen
nies. AS a rule executives do not al
low such lists to be circulated in
their plants. but in this case they
make an exception. The same is
true Of the public schools. The fund
is to be truly national. and the chief
purpose is to stimulate interest in
the jubilee. The large corporations
and banks are also subscribing. and
there is competition among the prov
inces for the highest rank. In each
region the governor of the province
is at the head of the campaign COM
mittee. which gives the drive an Of
fetal standing.
