The rise of swing on radio has created new type of bandleader. Until swing music rose to popular acclaim via the airwaves, a musician who became a conductor, abandoned his instrument for the baton. To- day the instrumentalist who turT.3 maestro continues to play as well as lead the band.
 One of the first of the present. day favorltes to conduct his swing tette and continue as an active play ing member of his own ensemble is Raymond Scott. His "hot breaks" on the piano have been an integral part of the marked success his swing aggregation has won among listeners-in.
 Ray Noble, likewise, on his Burns and Allen broadcasts, conducts from the piano.
 Another swing-leader is Tommy Dorsey, whose trombone-playing was long feature of Paul Whiteman's orchestra. When he decided to or- ganize his own band, Dorsey con- tinued to play while leading his own outfit. His brother, Jimmy Dorsey, an outstanding trumpeter, fololwed suit by swinging out on his trum- pet in front of his musicians. Henry Armstrong and ouis Armstrong are also among the batoneers who play and direct simultaneously.

GOOD ROADS AID RURAL
MEDICINE

A few months ago, in a Cali
fornia hospital, a little girl lay SER
iously i'll of pneumonia. From a
distant state, an airplane rushed
an artificial lung to her bedside.
This combination of modern sci
ence and modern speed saved the
life of this child.
At the same time, in Kansas
farmhouse, an eighteen-month-old
boy pulled a boiling kettle of pre-
serves from he kitchen stove. It's
scaIding contents poured over his
head. A driving storm the preced-
ing night had blown down the tele-
phone wires, so the baby's father
started for town in his car. He
made slow progress over the wash
ed-out road and, on the return trip
with the doctor, the car begged
down in the mud. They waited fif-
teen minutes for a life from a pass
ing car.
When they finally reached the
farmhouse, they found that the
makeshift first aid administered by
the farmers wife had been made
quate for 50 long a period. If the
doctor had arrived fifteen minutes
sooner, his skill would have saved
the child. The delay had proved
fatal.
The first of these stories made
headlines throughout the nation
People read and marvelled at the
advances made in medicine and
aviation. The second story was Of

Opening of Brewery Plant at
Fifth and DUPONT Streets
in Wilmington
ON LICENSE

Sixty persons will be given en-
pIoyment at the anticipated open
ing of the old brewery at Fifth
and DUPONT Streets, Wilmington,
about January 1, Stanley M.
Brown, official of the Delmarva
Brewing Company, announced to-
day. The opening, he said, is con-
tingent upon granting of state and
federal licenses. Application has
already been made for a federal
permit, and a state license will be
cought after it is granted. The
site is the old BaVarian brewery.
Mr.. Brown said about $4,000 will
be spent on renovations. He esti
mated go persons will be hired for
the office, sales, and operating
staffs.
A contract for the brewhouse
and cellars, mammutizing storage
vats, kettles, and machinery for
operation of a modern bhewery has
been let with Schoch Gusmer Of
Hoboken, N. j., he continued. A
contract for oil burners for heating
will be let with a local firm, and
a new room will be built for pitch
ing of barrels. This operation was
formerly done in the open. Her
man Schmidt, who has been con
nected with prominent breweries
in the East for 20 years, will be
superintendent of the plant.
The Delmarva Brewing Company
expects a capacity production of
1000 barrels a week, Mr. Brown
added. The old brewery was
founded in 1880 by Karl Specht
and Peter Shapn, later incorporat-
ed by John A. Langel as the Ba-
varian Brewing Company Follow
ing repeal, the Bavarian Luxburg
er Brewing Company was formed
closing down after a time.

sympathized with the farmer and
his wife, but failed to realize that
the blame for the tragedy rested
on the unimproved condition of the
road.
New inventions and scientific de-
velopments of all kinds are indeed
cause for public pride, but the pub
lie must find shame in the fact that
the nations roads are, in many
places, relics of far less progress
siVe day. The times when medicine
must appeal to aviation for aid are
very rare, but the times when a
road may make all the difference
between life and death are occur
ing constantly.
The city dweler knows little of
this. In case of sickness, he need
only turn to his telephone to find a
physician within a few blocks, pos
sibly in his own apartment build
ing. Illness in the country pre-
sents much more serious prob
lem. There, the question Of trans
portation looms very large "A trip
which, over a good highway, would
take ten or fifteen minutes, will
often, over a dirt road in poor re-
pair, require an hour or more and,
in some cases, become an impos-
siAle undertaking.
Lose a minute and save a life"
has long proved an excellent max
i'm at railroad crossings. However,

Tunnel Says at Georgetown
SEEK END OF STRIFE

Hopes that the present Demo-
cratic situation in Sussex would be
amicably settled soon were express
ed by speakers at an open meeting
of the Democratic County Execu-
tive Committee headed by Norman
Collision last week in Grange Hall.
About 300 attended. AS conditions
row exist there are two executive
committees, one headed by Ralph
S. Baker and the other by Collision.
James M. Tunnel, national COM
mitteeman, told the party members
that so per cent of Sussex Demo
Gratis were supporting Collision. So
far as can be learned no steps have
been taken to solidify the party
although it is expected that con-
ference will be called soon in an eff
fort to iron out difficulties. 1t was
pointed out that Representative
William f. Allen, who it is under
stood will seek reelection next
wear. may be able to reconcile the
two factions which developed as a
result of the election on October
80. Baker claimed his delegates

mittee on November 6. The Coli

orown-ups have been known to
leave their pressing irons turned
on.
Every boy seems to be a born
carpenter but first attempts to
drive nails may disclose a painful
lack of skill. Junior carpenters
sets give the little boy plenty fo
opportunity to pound without en-
dangering his fingers. For the very
voungest there is a board in which
colored pegs are set. They can be
hammered down but cannot fall
ont. and when all of them have
been driven in, the board can be
turned over and there they are all
ready to go to work on again.
Other sets have wooden guards
with holes into which nails can be
dropped, thus keeping fingers at a
safe distance from the hammer.
Strong. workmanIike tools contrib
ute to the safety of carpentry sets
for older boys.
Two types of gifts which defin-
itely call for safety rules are small
vehicles and guns. When four
year old David receives his veloci-
pede he can begin then and there
to learn something about good
driving. He can practice consider
alton for those who share the side
walk with him and learn some
thing about giving and taking the
right of way. The older boy who
wants a wheel should understand
thoroughly the hazards Of riding
bicycle today The giver, whether
parent, older brother or sister,
uncle or aunt, should feel satisfied
that he will ride carefully before he
decides to give a shining new
wheel a place beside the Christmas
tree. 1T is necessary to give lit
tie time and thought to presenting
safety problems Of this kind and
securing the cooperation Of the
child, but it can be done. Every
Christmas i'll innumerable families
the qfuestion of firearms is raised.
Since every Christmas also brings
its gun accidents, there seems to
be only one answer to the problem.
When a safe rife range can be pro
vided with responsible person to
superintend the shooting, then and
then only should a boy have his
first shooting experience.
For a merry Christmas that Will
bring year-round happiness, choose
wisely when you go to the toy de-
partment with its tempting dis
plays of gay and beguiling play
things. With the wide field Of de-
Iightful, well-made and inexpensive
toys from which to choose, there is
no reason why Christmas 1887
