the United States doesn't figure di-

BY BLAIR BOLLES.
Jules HENRY, who in his heart
prefers 10Th century French
poetry to a dispatch on the
~ latest development among the
Nom -Interventionists, Is France in the
United States.
This mustached Gallo Southerner
was sent to the French Embassy here
in 1919 as Third Secretary. The great
Jean Adrien Antoine Jules Jusserand
then was Ambassador.
Step by step NJ Henry rose-Sec-
ond Secretary, First Secretary, Coun-
selor OF Embassy in 1880, Minister in
1896. Since June he has been Charge
d'Affairs, which means he conducts
the ambassadorial business between
two leading nations Of the world
even if he lacks the ambassadorial
title.
Jules Henry has stayed in the
United States longer than any diplo-
mat in modern memory. He served
under Ambassadors Jusserand. Dae-
schner. Beranger, Claudel, La Boulaye
and Bonnet.
Knows War Debts.
He was here for. the Washington
Arms Conference and spent years in
diplomatic dickering over the war
debts.
He was in Washington to greet
such distinguished visitors from the
homeland as BRAND, Clemenceau,
Foch, Laval and Herriot.
He has dealt with six American
Secretaries of State-Lansing. Colby,
Hughes, Kellogg, Stimson and Hull.
In consequence Of this long asso-
citation with this country, he under
stands the thought and feeling of
the United States more thoroughly
than do most Americans Certainly
he is more alert to the nuances Of
American public opinion than any of
his fellow diplomats.
After 18 years of close observance
of the American scene and the Ameri-
can people, he can gauge American
reaction to such events as President
Roosevelts Chicago speech by rea-
soning like the average American. At
will he can almost become the average
American.
Soon Returns to France.
Soon he will return to France, where
perhaps he will be put in charge Of
the American section of the Paris
foreign Office, vacant since Erick
Labonne was named Ambassador to
Spain. M Henry is 48 now, yet still
a bachelor.
M Henry became Charge d'Affairs
when Georges Bonnet hurried of to
Paris as finance minister after he was
Ambassador here less than 80 days.
The five months since then, so
pregnant with French diplomatic
backings and filings on the continent,
have been quiet for NJ Henry.
He observes and explains to France
what goes on here-chiefly, of late
our newly announced strong foreign
policy and the activity Of the stock
market.
AS for what happens abroad, he
learns about it from the American
newspapers, which are a great boon
to all Washington diplomats.

TRAFFIC CODE
AT REHOBOTH
Rehob0th Beach Designates
One Way Streets; Bicycle
Riding to Be Regulated
SPEED LIMIT is SET

A temporary code to regulate
traffic in Rehoboth Beach will be
put into immediate effect, it was
decided at a special meeting of the
Board of Town Commissioners and
City Manager w. H. johnson. The
city manager, appearing for the
first time before the board in his
official capacity, was given author
ity to temporarily place into effect
his full program of recommends
tions. The code calls for one-way
vericular traffic from Columbia
Avenue, south of the railroad right
of way, with parking for eastbound
cars only. Westbound traffic only
will be permitted on the north side
of the right of way. The state
speed limit of 25 miles per hour
will prevail for cars entering and
leaving the resort, but the code
reduces the rate of speed to Is
miles an hour on Rehoboth Avenue
east of Second Street. Parking
will be prohibited within 80 feet of
the ocean on the ocean end of any
street terminating at the board
walk. Parking in any section is
restricted to within 80 feet of a
street intersection. According to
the code, parking shall be angular
at approximately 45 degrees in the
legal direction of travel, and park
ing on sidewalks, across driveways,
and doubzle parking will be pro-
hibited. The code prohibits bicycle
riding on sidewalks and on First
Street to the Boardwalk and in
such other sections where the city
manager believes bicycles would
constitute a traffic hazard.

'TRACKLESS CAR
IN WILMINGTON
System Would Require An
Outlay of More Than ST.
100000 1t is Said
CHANGE is UNCERTAIN

Besides requiring an outlay of
more than 100000 for new
equipment, substitution of track
less trolleys for the present type
in Wilmington would "entail the
amortization of very large losses
due to the abandonment of the
present street railway property"
Thomas w. Wilson, president of
the Delaware Electric Power Com
pany, pointed out in a statement
last weke. He said the proposal is
being given every consideration by
the company, but it is premature
to forecast whether the change
will be made. The statement fol-
lows: Requests have come to
Delaware Electric Power Company
from a number of organizations
and institutions requesting that
electric trackless trolleys be sub
stituted for the present street rail
way cars. Similar requests, we
are advised, have been received by
the directors of the Street and
Sewer Department. At the re-
quest fthe Street and Sewer
Board a conference was recently
held between the board and officers
of the company at which the mat
ter was discussed but no definite
conclusions reached The substi-
tuting of trackles trolleys for
street cars will require an expendi-
ture on the part of the company in
excess of one million dollars for
new equipment, and moreover the
change will entail the amortization
of very large losses due to the
abandonment of the present
street railway property. This pre-
sents a serious problem for the
company, particularly in view Of
the constant decrease in riding in
recent years However, in view of
the requests made of US, we are
giving the matter most careful
consideration but because Of its
importance it is premature at the
present time to make any definite
forecast as to whether the COM
pany will be able to accomplish the
desired change or under what con-
ditions it could be accomplished

YOUR VACATION TRIP
Full Preparation For Motor Trip
Advised By AAA

Although preparing for a motor
trip today is much less complicat-
ed than it was ten or twelve years
ago, the comfort and the conven-
fence of the trip is considerably en-
hanced by making complete prep
arations ahead of time, L. r. Lew
is, president of the Delaware Mot
or Club AAA, declared today. "A
decade or two ago" said Mr.. Lew
is, "An extended motor journey
required extensive preparation.
Before leaving home the motorist,
decked out in goggles and duster,
would place in his car supply of
fuel, a spade for digging out of
mud holes, tire repair equipment,
tools for tinkering with the engine,
tow chains, food and water sup
plies, and whatnot.
Today, with service facilities
along almost every mile of high
way, preparations for the journey
are much simpler The principal
precautions that should be taken
before leaving are to have the car
placed in Al mechanical condition
and to secure a complete mapping
of the journey ahead.
1T is advisable to obtain maps
for the entire journey days or even
weeks prior to leaving on the trip.
This will make it possible to study
the route, which will curtail delay
in asking directions en- route, and
also will make, possible selection of
the best course to take when al
ternate routes are available. At
the same time, it is advisable to
make daily checks with motor
clubs along the highway to learn
of any recent changes in road con-
ditions."

bound to conserve our water re-
sources too.
Many of our states would like to
undertake wildlife restoration pro-
jects within their borders but be-
cause Of the lack of funds or insult
f1cient revenues produced from the
sale of licenses they are not able
to engage in such enterprises. If
they had the money, wildlife would
again flourish in their fields and
forests, their lakes and streams.
Lacking these revenues, which are
needed to carry on, most Of our
states have seen their game sup
plies dwindle to a mere trifle of
their former abundance.
Can these supplies be brought
back again? That is the import
ant thing to think about!
The answer is YES
How can this restoration be
started? How can we show sub
stantial increases in our wildlife
populations What is needed most
to start this program
The answer here and now is
Money.
And that is just what this Bill
proposes to furnish. BY earmark-
ing the money that the sportsmen
now pay in special taxes on sport
ing arms and ammunition and di-
verting it to wildlife restoration
programs in the States it viii be
put to a beneficial use which will
be an everlasting credit to the
American people.
Not one cent Of additional taxes
will have to be levied. Mr.. Gener-
al Taxpayer will not have to dip
into this pocket book to pay for
this program. The sportsmen
themselves now pay this tax just
as they have been for some years
past. BY earmarking it and turn
ing it into restoration channels
these same sportsmen will be get
ting a splendid return for their
money.
This tax money has heretofore
gone into the United States Treas
ury for the general upkeep of the
Government.

Thomas G. Abbott. we'll known
newspaper advertising man, and
recently attached to the Miami

Mr.. ABBOTT said that he feels
that there could be more wide
spread advertising plan for Key
West put in effect and is of the
opinion that rotagravure issue
of 16 pages in tabloid formal or
eight pages full size, would be just
the thing.
His idea is to use some of the
views now available in Key West,
and to personally make other pic
lures of scenes and persons, v.si-
tors and local. and with the neces-
sary informative articles, put out
rotagravure section of about
5000 and send them every
