NO LIKENESS TO FATAL 1929

Some pessimistic observers have
been getting scared over the recent
stock market decline. They say the
slipping prices remind them of the
terrible time in the fall of 1929, just
eight years ago. Then day after day
and week after week, stocks kept
dropping and dropping. Multitudes
OF people wanted to sell their securi-
ties, while few wanted to buy.
Now some people say that the re-
cent succession of stock market
breaks, with relatively few buyers,
reminds them of that year of catas-
trophe. They say the stock market
is the barometer of business, and that
the falling pressure indicates storms.
The usual signs indicating a busi-
ness collapse are absent. The stock
market often falls merely because
people get nervous. When business
has crash. one reason is that it is
hard to borrow money. Back in 1929,
a good many people were paying
seven and eight per cent interest or
more. Now on the stock exchanges.
short term loans are being quoted
for one to one and a quarter per
cent. No business crash is going to
come because of inability to borrow
money on good security.
Excessive sneculation and over
production of merchandise and COM
nodities are usually very much in
evidence before a business crash.
There is no evidence 81 either of

AMERICAN FAULTS

Sinclair Lewis, famous Americal
author, recently complained that tn
American people have been too Ions
suffering and patient with process
sion of Englishmen who come to this
country and find fault with its man
ners and institutions. Mr.. Lewis
handed out some quite caustic replies
to such criticism.
In England and other European
nations, the American people are con-
sidered somewhat crude type of hu-
manity, who have grown too fast to
obtain true education and culture.
They complain of our manners, our
crime, our political corruption.
1t is always useful 'to see our
selves as others see u.s." as Poet
Robert Burns put it. So when peo-
pie of foreign lands come to our
shores, or observe our travellers
abroad, it is we'll to take note of their
criticisms, and try to correct what
ever faults we have. Some travellers
who go to Europe swell around in
those countries in a lordly way,
speaking contemptuously of their |
methods of living that often seem
antiquated. Such Americans need to
go to some good school of elementary
manners. Their ways are just as
Objectionable around home as they
are in Europe.
1t is represented in Europe that
our cities and towns are terrorized
by gunmen and kidnappers, and that
life is hardly safe in this chaotic land.
As things go along quietly in most
owns and cities, this is gross ex-
AS respects manners, it
g doubtful if more genuine courtesy
) seen anywhere than in America,
nd right here in Delaware.
1t should be admitted that many [
americans behave in a coarse and {
rrogant way, and that the prevail
nee of crime and corruption has be- q
ONE a national disgrace. If the /
.merican people really want to hold v
p their heads before the world, they I
ill have to do something about these IL
reat wrongs. Il

Milford, Friday, October Is, 1887

AGAIN A CRASH which has re-
suited in death, has occurred at the
intersection of the DUPONT Boulevard
and the Milford-Harringto highway.
Minor collisions, many of which
probably are never reported, are very
frequent occurrences at this spot. A
survey would probably show that a
large majority of the drivers in
volved are out-of-State residents, or
that they are Delawareans who are
not familiar with the intersection.
Time after time the Chronicle has
voiced its belief that more adequate
means of protecting motorists using
the intersection must be adopted.
While it is true that a flashing light
is in constant operation at the cross /
ing, it is demonstrated almost daily |
that this is insufficient. The State |
Highway Department, whose duty it
is to provide safety devices for the
spot, certainly is not meeting this
throughout the State have been
sought out and automatic stop lights
have been installed. If there is a
bad and dangerous intersection for
traffic in Delaware, the corner in
question, known locally as the Haven
Lake Crossing, is to be placed in that
classification. Potential injury and |
death faces every automobilist as
he or she drives up to this inter- t
section. Motorists using the two {
highways, both of which are heavily f
Travelled, have right to expect safe
passage over this spot. The State /
Highway Department has duty to /
perform-and until automatic safety
devices are installed there they have
not fulfilled their obligations. De-
lay may mean another accident with
death as the aftermath. Immediate
action should be taken to eliminate
this danger spot. .

PRESIDENTS APPEAL FOR PEACE

PRESIDENTS APPEAL FOR PEACE
President Roosevelt, speaking at
Chicago, delivered an eloquent appeal
for world peace, and condemned ma
tions that are violating their treaties
and resorting to barbarous warfare.
The whole country joins him heartily
in this protest.
When is comes to suggesting prac-
tical measures to maintain such
peace, the President is indefinite. He
feels that our country can not iso-
late itself from these world troubles,
and seems to suggest that warning
nations should be "quarantined"
somewhat as people infected with dis
ease may be. If such quarantine
meant forbidding commercial rela-
tions with such countries, the nations |
thus treated might consider it a
cause for war.
This warning of the Presidents.
coupled with similar statements from
other powers, may induce some of |
these countries to go slow. This is
not likely. When nations want to
fight, about the only way to stop
them is to threaten to fight in re-
turn. If the United States threatens
to fight, it may have to really do so.
The results from fighting in Europe
20 years ago have not been satisfac-
tory. The world is worse off since
that fighting was done. Our people
have right to protest against the
actions of certain nations, but fight
ing a war to stop these actions is
another proposition.

NEWS LETTER
From
CONGRESSMAN WIN. F. ALLEN

Farm IncOme-Though the in
crease in farm income was less than
seasonal, income from farm market
ings was $131, 100000 higher than a
year earlier. The increased income
as compared with year earlier, was
due entirely to the larger receipts
from the sale of crops.
Unfit FOOd-Federal authorities
were active during the summer
rounding up food products carelessly
packed and handled, according to the
Food and Drug Administration. Seiz-
ures of perishable articles increased
il number, while canned, dried, and
other processed foods continued to
demand careful attention.
School Safety-Nationwi interest
in the development and application
of safety measures for the preven-
tion of explosions in school houses
and other public institutions has re-
suited from the New London disaster.
One of the important developments
from the Texas school explosion is
the need for inspection and super
vision of rural school buildings, dur
ing construction and before occu-
pancy.
Farm Accidents-Far more atten-
tion has been given to accident pre-
vention in industry than on the farm
and in the home although farm and
home accidents outnumber all others.
More persons are killed accidentally
at work in agricultural pursuits than
i'll any other occupation. In 1896 IA |
tai work accidents in agriculture |
$500 compared with only !
$500 in construction activities and /
2300 in manufacturing. l believe /
there is urgent need for the adoption
and application in rural districts of
those safety measures which have
proven their value in the urban and
industrial centers.
Lamb Prices Up-Prices of lambs
are expected to continue near pres
ent levels during the next few
Although more lambs will
be coming to market this fall than in
the summer months as is usual, the
effect on prices may be largely Off
set by the prospective strong demand
for feeder lambs in the Corn Belt;
prices of feeder lambs probably will
continue high in relation to the prices
of slaughter lambs during the fall
MOrtgages-Our of S700,000,000 in
on which insurance pre-
niums are being paid to the Federal
Housing Administration net losses
sustained over three-year period
mount to s7,9271S-approximately
me thousandth of one percent. OF a
otal of 229.299 mortgages accepted
or insurance only 35 properties have
'een foreclosed.
Observation-Disclosures of cleo
ricity for public use in the United
itates reached a total of 11S, ,499, ,000,-
90 kilowatt hours in the 12-month
eriod just ended, making new high
ecord. This is 10 per cent in
rease over last year.
Apples-One of the largest apple
rops in the past 10 years and an
bove average grape crop were indi-
ated. The domestic demand for
iese fruits is expected to be better
ian in recent years, and an improve
ent also is expected in foreign de-
and, especially for apples. This
ears large apple crop follows the
'latively small one of last year. i

HUNTING AND SPORTsMANsHIP


Millions of men and boys, with
some women, are starting out on the
hunting trail. 1t sometimes seems
as if the number of hunters exceeded
the number of animals and birds to
be shot. Unless care is used, vast
areas of the United States will be
denuded of such creatures. The
woods that once resounded with the
hum of bird wings, the forests whose
life sustained the furry beasts, will
be as tenantless as the desert.
Laws are passed which attempt to
regulate the pastime or occupation
of shooting these creatures. If the
game laws are well obeyed, we shall
keep a moderate amount of wild life,
to be valuable source of food supply
and to give pleasure to sportsmen.
Every hunter in Delaware should
be asked to obey these laws. The
sportsmen have their choice, whether
to exterminate many useful varieties
and reduce the supply of others, or
to encourage the growth of these
creatures. 1t is up to the sportsmen.

Due to. the fact that eight more men have failed to report in con- neetion with assignment slips for work which were sent out and dis tributed Thursday at the depart nient of welfare office, the number of Waterburians, listed as employ able in the recent survey conduct ed by the state WPA, who are work ing as a result of this survey was reduced today from 58 to SO. All of the twenty-Seven women who were assigned to the sewing pro- feet, as far as could be learned at the department today, have report ed for work.
 Five of the men who failed to report gave no special reason. 1n- asmuch as they are classified as ''employable" and have turned down the jobs, their names have been taken off the relief roles. It is as- sumed at the local department that they have either secured private employment or that they "tust didn't feel like working.
