CHICAGO, Jan. 80. (UP)-Broad
buying led by commission houses
rallied wheat prices. on the Chicag 0
board of trade today and substituted
small net gains for initial losses.
At the close wheat was % to u
cent higher, May $1.2SM; new corn
was " to Is cent higher, May $1.0SSs /;
old corn was " to 5s cent higher,
May $1.06; and oats was " to X
cent higher, May 49% cents.
Fears over the condition of the
winter wheat crop in the southwest
inspired by sub-zero weather and a
deficiency in snow covering were the
main influences,
Pressure of Argentine wheat and
a slow milling demand forced Liver
pool wheat prices down. Winnipeg
steadied on buying by exporters.
Corn followed wheat upward in
the final hour.
Other grains also ruled firmer at
the close with rye showing net gains
of about a cent a bushel.

PACIFIC FIR GOES
TO NEW YORK FAIR

NEW YORK (SpeciaD.-"Good old
Douglas fir" from the Pacific Northwest
will provide the foundations for the most
spectacular of wonders at the New York
Worlds Fair of 1885,
This was learned when the Fair Corpo-
ration offices in the Empire State build
ing announced the purchase of more
than 100000 worth of fir pilings from
the National Pole Treating Company.
This particular lot of fir sticks will be
driven into the ash fill of the 12161s -acre
exposition site to guarantee the support
of the two unique structures forming
the Theme Centre of the Nations Fair"
These are the 2O0-foot Perisphere, a
globe seemingly supported on the waters
of fountains, and the Trylon, 700-foot
triangular needle or beacon and broad
casting tower.
Shipments of the 1860 sticks, IS to 90
feet in length, are taking place this
month, after creosote treatment has been
accorded them either at the National Pole
and Treating Company's plant at Hill
yard, Washington, or at the Minneapolis
yards.
This is the Fairs second purchase Of
fir from Northwest sources. An order
for ITO sticks of similar length was filled
early this year from Oregon cuttings.
This earlier shipment of piling supports
the Fairs 100000 Administration Build
ing already erected on the grounds.

Household Hints

"E CAME back from our visit
W to Japan with new philoso'
ply about gardens, and ever so
many ideas we tucked away to try
out ourself.
The garden of Japanese home Is
as much part of the house as are
the actual rooms. In fact the house
proper winds in and around several
small gardens and the walls of the
house slide back so that in fine
weather the rooms flow right into
the garden. Imagine that in cherry
blossom time, because of course ev-
cry Japanese garden cherishes a
cherry tree if possible. And a cob
web! That is never something to
brush away ruthlessly as we do.
The Japanese see delicate beauty
in a cobweb and point it out with
pride.
Their gardens are tiny because
space is so limited, but it's rare
house that doesn't have at least
one garden, and usually there are
several. There is seldom grass, but
sometimes moss-more often sim

one civilized room in the house that
they must learn to respect.
So we advocate using another

Then consider that the term Civ

of merchandise for all kinds of uses.
This August, more than hundred
of Wilmingtons leading mercantile
establishments are participating in
the DOLLAR Day." after weeks of
quiet but careful and thorough prep

the careful combing of wholesale
markets for the latest seasonal goods,
the planning of drastic price reduc-
tions without sacrifice of quality Of
merchandise, and the arrangement
of stores to display wares and care
for expected throngs of purchasers.
AS is habitual, Wilmington stores ex.
pect large numbers of shoppers from
all over the Peninsula, and from the
adjoining counties of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and New Jersey. The order
ly and expeditions handling of such
an unusual volume of store traffic
Is of itself problem of no mean
magnitude.

display distinctive emblem and
price cards, both of which will bear
the copyrighted emblem of the
Chamber of Conference. Shoppers
are urged by the committee in charge
to shop in those stores displaying
these uniform window signs and
price tickets as these designate those
merchants officially participating in
the event.
All official stores in Wilmington
will open at 9 o'clock daylight saving
time, and are arranging for extra
salespeople to prevent the necessity
of anyone waiting to be served. Mer-
chandise to be- offered will meet the
most discriminating taste and the en-
tire range of ''pocket-book Sizes"
The Committee desires to stress
that Dollar Day" will be held on one
day only, Wednesday, August IL, re-
CARELESS of weather conditions. 1t
neither will be postponed, nor will

be available for reservation or pur-
chase either before or after that date.

PEACE THROUGH EDUCATION
is PLAN OF ROTARIANS

The decision Of Rotary Internal
ional at it's recent convention in Nice,
France, to raise peace fund Of ST.
100000 is a recognition by business
men that they must play their part
in Kidding the world of war.
Their plan is peace through ed
ucation. The program includes the
education of students in different
countries, round-table conferences in
Asia, Africa, Europe and the Amer
icas, and other methods yet to be
announced.
A pioneering institute for study of
international affairs, started some
three years ago by the Nashville
(Tenn.) Rotary Club and now follow
ed by several other Rotary Clubs,
has lent encouragement to the belief
that much good may be accomplish
ed for world peace by much study.
From this viewpoint Rotary Is con-
WINGED that the question of peace in
wolves a sympathetic understanding

TALL POLE
Special Trailer Built for 1872
Foot Fir

"Tall timber" is necessary In ship
to-shore radio-telephone service. Prob
ably the tallest pole-122 feet long
ever set up by wireless forces was
erected at the radio-telephone receiv-
ing station at Forked River, New Jer-
sey, recently. Weighing $500 pounds
and having diameter of thirty inches,
it will be used for new antenna sup
plementing the present facilities,
whereby telephone users in this coun-
try can talk with persons aboard q
score of big liners plying the Atlantic.
This is one of the fifteen big fir
poles brought by ship from the west
coast to Newark and then hauled by
rail to Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
To carry the pole by truck over mar
row country roads to Forked River,
a special type Of trailer with rotating
bolster had to be devised to negotiate
turns.

Recently, William Hoofnagle,
telephone company installer, was just
finishing up his last installation job
Of the day when he got rush call to
a home in Northeast Washington. An
emergency telephone was needed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Baker, the dis
tracted parents of three-year-old
Philip Baker, to keep in touch with
the police and others. You see, Philip
was lost and had been gone for several
hours.
Hoofnagle lost no time and in less
than an hour from the time the tele-
phone was ordered, it was in and ready
for duty.
While Hoofnagle was working on
the job he saw several pictures of the
little boy and having youngster of
his own was very sympathetic and in
terested.

turn in for the day, he had driven

of a special committee of which Ed
ward A. Munich, well known Wilm-

man.
Cooperation of the bureau of
Police has been accorded cheerfully
to protect out-of-town motorist pur-

published in this issue of this paper a
coupon, which, if clipped out and

desired, without police interference.
This is a real accommodation, as it
will permit the thoughts of the buy

A survey just completed by chair
man Munich shows that Wilmington
merchants are preparing to make the
coming Dollar Day" the most out
standing one of the entire series,
from the viewpoint of the shopper.
According to his survey, visiting con-
sentative shoppers will find that
never before have such bargains and
such values been presented for their
selection. Offerings will present the
last word in seasonal merchandise of
every character, either for personal
wear or adornment of young and old,

use in the household. These dollar

The "FrOnt Room"

The term Giving room" did its
duty. It gave the family the free
dom of the best room in the house.
Remember when we first started
speaking of the Giving room," we
had to pull up the window blinds
and get some easy chairs in, for up
to then the "front room" had been
reserved for company best.
But we feel that liberties have
been taken there. It's all very well
to recognize that drawn blinds and
horsehair were too stiff and formal
and that the family should enjoy
the best room in the house. On the
other hand, an active family can
wreak havoc in a room that they're
turned loose in every day. And in

ITALY MAY QUIT
LEAGUE0F NATIONS
Fascist Grand Council to
Meet Tomorrow at Mid
night-Effect Studied.
NJ the Associated Press.

NJ the Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 10-Indications came
from high quarters last night that the
Fascist Grand Council, summoned for
one of its dramatic midnight sessions
tomorrow, might announce Italy's
resignation from the League of
Nations.
However, official confirmation was
lacking of the widespread belief that
Premier Benito Mussolini had decided
on such action. often reported i'm
minent since the League enforced
sanctions against Italy during the
Ethiopian war
Diplomats speculated as to whether
withdrawal from the League-if it
comes-would mean II Duce had given
up hope of coming to terms with
Britain and France over his African
conquests and his position in the
Mediterranean Sea.
Some diplomats expressed belief
Mussolini had cast in his lot whole
heartedly with Germany and Japan,
both resigned from the League and
both recently linked with Italy in the
Rome tripartite anti-Communist pact
Is "OriginaP' Member.
(Japan resigned from the League in
1888 because of the Leagues con-
demnation of her conquest of Man
churia and establishment of the in
dependent" state of Manchukuo. Ger
many withdrew in 1885, claiming she
was not accorded equal rights with
other powers.
CAT Geneva, the possibility that II
Duce would follow his boycott of the
League by resigning formally was seen
in League circles as springing from
his desire to place Italy upon the
same footing as other members of the
Rome Berlin Toxic axis"
Utaly is an original" member of
the League. Her brilliant jurist, the
late Vittorio Scialoja, sat with Wood
row Wilson at the conference table
in Paris when the League covenant
was compiled.
(Since the Leagues Ethiopian war
sanctions against Italy Mussolini has
boycotted both the League and the
International Labor Organization)
Diplomats recalled recent authori-
tative press attacks which said blunt
ly that the democracies were trying
to strangle the totalitarian govern
ments. Some of these were believed
to have come from Mussolinfs own
pen.
Equal Basis With Hitler.
1t also was suggested that II Duce
desired to put himself on an equal
basis with Germany in case Of nego-
tiations with Britain. For Germany,
not being League member, is in a
position to use that fact to get con-
cessions from Britain in return for
her consent to rejoin.
Other important business was on
the calendar for the supreme Fascist
body at its Saturday meeting, but the
announcement that its decision will
be read from the balcony of the
PalaZZo VeneZia, II Duce's official
residence, aroused belief it would be
of international character.
The last time a Grand Council de-
cision has been made public in this
manner was at the time of the foun-
dation of the Italian Empire following
the Ethiopian conquest.
A report discussed in diplomatic
circles was that the council might
declare the present Chamber of Depu-
ties replaced by g. cooperative cham
Der. as has been contemplated some
time.
