This year, mild weather has pre-

this year by the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society in its thirty
nrst annual drive for tuberculosis
FUNDS. The seal sale will as in the
past open on Thanksgiving Day and
continue until Christmas. Miss Emily
p. Bissell, originator of the first
Christmas Seal in America in 1907,
and president of the anti-tuberculosis
society, commenting upon this years
Christmas Seal said, "The Christmas
seal this year is another reminder of
customs of the olden days. It depicts
jolly and colorful town crier-the
man who went from house to house
IN the small towns and villages to
warn of dangers, spread the news,
and protect the householders. The
earliest settlers in ali parts OF our
country brought from their various
homelands this custom of having a
bell ringer, town crier or a night
watchman go about at night to guard
their homes and warn against In
dlans or marauding bandits. In buy
ing and using our Christmas Seals
this year on holiday letters and pack |

PEACE PRECEDENT
|BY AMERICAS SEEN
Buenos Aires May Produce
Historic Solidarity, Mex
lean Envoy Says.

If the nations Of the Americas can
finish the work begun at the Buenos
Aires conference last January, "it will
be the first example of continental
solidarity ever witnessed in history"
DR.. Francisco Castillo Naiera, Mexi-
can Ambassador, told the Washington
Council on International Relations
at meeting yesterday afternoon in
the Pan-American Union.
He sounded the warning, however.
that I'VE must not let the magnitude
of our attainments, nor the facility
of our success, blind U.s."
Let us always keep in mind" he
said, that the Buenos Aires agree
ments impose upon us constant OBJ
legation. Otherwise the conference Of
Buenos Aires can end in another
fiasco."
He also cautioned the people of the
Americas that the success of the con-
ference should not induce in us the
impertinent illusion that We consti-
tute-in a world populated by mad
and perverse people-an oasis Of per-
lection and saintliness."
Peace in Americas.
The happy outcome of the confer
ence. he said, lis due not only to our
personal attitude, but also to series
of accumulated circumstances which
have favored and still favor in Ameri-
ca a pacific evolution Of international
rela atoms"
Working in absolute good faith,
and with cordial enthusiasm, to facili-
tate in all fields the true aims Of
democracy, not only will the govern
ments of America have gained the
| support of their respective peoples,
but also at the same time they will
have assured the peace of continent,
for between satisfied peoples, as among
happy neighbors. there is no place for
hate or war" DR.. Najera said.
Results of the Buenos Aires con-
ference will work in favor of peace
through the years to come the
council was told by Assistant Secre-
tarv of State Summer Welles. He
hailed the conference as having
achieved its results in an atmosphere
Of genuine friendliness." The con-
ference, he said, was unique in
the respect that delegates we're bet
ter friends when they left than when
they arrived"
Needs Nations Support.
"The work of the delegates at
Buenos Aires now needs the support
Of each of the 81 nations in order
to insure ratification of the treaties
| and conventions agreed TO there,
| Welles said. The responsibility for
putting them into practical operation
lies upon the people"
He praised the results Of the con-
| ference as "a very hopeful and prom
ising step in the direction Of the
twin goals of peace and human Sc
| curity."
DR.. James Brown Scott, director Of
the Carnegie endowment for inter
national peace and honorary chair
man of the council. presided. He re-
viewed the long work of the late
Elihu Root in behalf of international
accord among the American nations
