The Hands that
Spe ed Your Voice

Throughout Delaware, $50 pairs of
hands are at work at Bell switchboards.
Day and night, their flying fingers
Hash through the motions that link the
yoice-ways of the nation, SO that you
can talk easily and quickly to almost
anyone j. anywhere.
They are trained hands-the hands
Of women who know their work and
ike it; who are eager and able to
serve you well.
Behind those hands are cool heads
and warm hearts-the kind of people
you can depend on for swift aid in
emergencies and steady thoughtful
performance Of their everyday jobs.
No other form Of communication is
50 fast, easy-to-use and personal as a
telephone call. 1t carries your message
not only in your own words, but in your
own tone Of voice! And at today's low
rates, even long long distance calls are
inexpensive. So keep in touch with dis
tant customers and far-away friends
The personal way-by telephonel The
Diamond State Telephone Company.

SCOUT WORK
TO BE BOOSTED
Troop and District Boards of
Review and Merit Counsel
ors to Be Organized
MEETING IN DOVER

Organization of Boy Scout troop
boards of review, corps of merit
badge counsellors for each com
munity and district boards of re-
view were planned last week for
the Del-Mar-Va Council, Boy Scouts
of America, at dinner meeting of
the advancement committee of the
council at the Hotel Richardson,
Dover. DR.. Harry v. Holloway of
Dover, chairman, presided, Repre-
sentatives of the various districts
and scout executives attended The
chairmen agreed to assist in set
ting up troop boards of review in
all troops. The boards will pass on
qualifications for advancement of
scouts from one rank to another.
At present many troops do not
have such a system. Enrolment
of about 300 especially qualified
men to serve as merit badge coun-
sellors in their respective commun-
tiles is believed one of the most
helpful steps taken for the. scouts
of the entire peninsula. These
men, because of the specialized
knowledge, will be able to pass on
the subjects covered in the list Of
104 merit badges, but particularly
on the 80 most popular subjects in
which scouts in large numbers
seek merit badges. The district
boards of review will pass on the
qualifications of scouts applying
for higher ranks of Star, Life, and
Eagle Scout. Under this new plan,
the applicants must appear in per-
sons for review before the board of
their district. Chairmen attending
the meeting were: Judge E. D. Viii
ley, Dover; c. Otis McCauley, Per
ry Point, Md; DR. Frederick Liv-
ingood of Chestertown, Md; E. B.
Cation of Cambridge, Md; S. Den
mead Kolb, Salisbury, Md; God
frey Child, Pocomoke City Md.
Others present were: Kenneth B.
Spear, scout executive of the Coun-
ell; c. R. Andreas. Dover field ex-
ecutive; Howard Solomon, field ex-
ecutive, Salisbury, Md The next
meeting of the committee will be
held sometime in November at
Denton, Md, in connection with the
annual scouters' conference there.

Down
The Road
By CHARLES M. UPHAM
Engineer-Drector
American Road Builders Assn.
Washington, d. c.

All curvse are super-elevated and
the surface finish of the pavement
is non-skid. Traffic is controlled
at road functions by clearly de-
fined and systematic layout and
parking places are provided at
carefully chosen intersections. Pc
destrians, bicyclists and animals
are excluded from the highways
and no advertisements or billboards
can be erected by the roadside. Eff
forts are being made to retain and
to enhance the beauty of the land
Scape.
There is no speed limit in Ger
many. The roads are designed for
speeds from so to 100 miles per
hour, according to the topography
of the country. 1t is claimed that
there have been no major accidents
on the autobahn system chargeable
to the condition of the road or to
detail of design. This record is
particularly remarkable when COM
pared with the situation in the
United States. Of the 10000 traf-
| fic-accident fatalities in this coun-
try last year, it is estimated that
at least so per cent can be blamed
on the failure of the roads to meet
the demands Of modern traffic.
While conditions in our country
do not demand or justify the i'm
mediate construction of complete
super-highway system like that in
Germany, there are areas where
heavy traffic and numerous acci-
dents do call for the construction
of roads of this type. A system of
American super-highways could
not be constructed in a few years
but could be designed, laid out and
some sections constructed in loca-
tions where traffic is heavy and
congested and a super-road is par
ticularly needed. If this policy is
followed, super-highways can be
constructed when the need arises
and this country will, in the future
possibly ten, twenty or even for
ty years from now-be provided
with a system of highways that
will adequately and economically
care for the increased traffic de-
mands that are bound to come.
Smyrna times., 1938-09-08

When the average American
thinks of Central Europe, he US
ually thinks also of dictators, re-
armament and war Germany, in
particular, is looked upon as dan
ger spot which may at any moment
ignite another world conflict. All
German activities, therefore, are
studied for possible military sig
nificance. So, when Germany be-
gan its huge road-building program
which has resulted in a system of
Isuper-highways second to none,
that activity was construed by
many to be strictly a military pro-
ject.
AS a representative of the United
States government to the recent
International Road Congress at
The Hague, / had the opportunity
to travel over 5000 miles of Ger
man highways, of which nearly 800
miles were part of the new Reich
autobahn system. Whether or not
it be true that these roads were
constructed primarily for military
purposes, it is most certainly true
that they provide the German peo-
pie with innumerable peacetime
commercial, industrial, social and
cultural benefits. Although these
roads may some day be used to
speed the movement of mechanical
agents of death and destruction,
they are at present responsible for
an SO per cent reduction in the
number of traffic accidents.
Built into the German super
highways are most of the safety
features that have long been rec
commended by American highway
engineers. The new roads consist
of two double-lane highways, each
25 feet wide, with opposing
streams of traffic completely separ-
ated. Beyond these traffic lanes
are adequate shoulders and grad
ual slope to a drainage system.
Railroad grade crossings and high
way grade crossings have been
completely eliminated with a ma
iority of the intersecting roads be-
ing carried over the right-of-way
of the new system by most med
ern type Of overpass construction

will be responsible for the loan of
$715,000, in principle, in actuality
the state will not be burdened with
any additional bonds and taxes for
this loan" Dr. Tarumianz said
I'VE propose to care for the liqui-
dation as well as for the interest of
this loan in 80 years. The first
year it will be necessary to obtain
S23, 1873, plus S14,300 for interest, a
total of $33, ,133. At the end of ten
years, $33,843; at the end of 20
years, $29, 9,076, and so at the end of
80 years we will be paying only
S23, 1873, plus S476 for interest.
"In the last 20 years, through
serious efforts on our part, we have
increased our income from paid pa
tients from $4,000 a year to $76.-
900 a year It is true it has been
a gradual process to induce mem
bers of the middle and upper mid
die classes to send their sick ones
to their own state hospital instead
of attempting to send them to pri-
vate sanitoriums in neighboring
states and to become indebted IT
has always been and is our opinion
that the services of the State Hos
pital for the Mentally III must be
on the same basis as public schools.
1t should offer the best that sci
ence has to offer"
IT'S Paid Patients
After pointing out that there
are about IT'S paid patients rang
ing from 81 to $40 a week, DR.. Ia
rumianz added:
''By creating these new facilities
through naturalization of our pro-
gram, expect to have an addi-
tional 300 paid patients who will
pay So to 81 a week or an average
of SO per week. Thus we will have
an additional income of S45, 900
year which will not only be suffic-
lent to pay our Indebtedness and
interest to the bank, but to main
tain the newly created buildings
from a physical viewpoint, such as
repairs, etc.
Il wish to emphasize that this is
not a speculation, but with 20
years of experience with the pa
tients and their families, am sure
there are at least 300 who will pay
the above minimum sum for i'm
proved facilities"
DIR. Tarumianz said that by Sep
tember Il, the hospital will be in
actuality short of more than 200
beds. He predicted that space will
be needed for $50 betds by the end
of 1889.
Unless we have the same atti-
tude toward mental and nervous
diseases as we do toward the ply
sical, / am afraid that in the next
quarter of a century the population
of the hospital will reach peak
of 2,600," he stated.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT

1 BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT -
An improvement in business seems
assured because of low inventories,
sustained income of consumers, and
larger outlays by the Government.
] Housing and automobiles will be
the leaders in the recovery.
| PROSPECTS GOOD FOR U. S.
! PEARS AND APPLES IN EU-
ROPE Improved market outlets
for American apples and pears are
expected in Europe during the
coming marketing season. The
better prospects this year are at
tributed to the considerably reduc-
ed crops following the frost dam
age which occurred in most Eu-
ropean countries last April and
May.
FOOD VALUE OF MEAT CUTS
Meat may be selected by the
housewife according to ms food
value as well as its cost through
the use of a new table which shows
the approximate average compost
tion of the different cuts from
three classes of lamb carcasses
The table has been issued by the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
recently, and is a result of a series
of meat Investigations that have
been in progress for II years.
Through use of the table, house
wives, dietitians, chefs, and others
can obtain information concerning
the approximate amounts of fat,
lean, bone, protein, and water in
the different cuts Of meat from an
imals Of various degrees of fatness.
HOME FINANCING Home
ownership is easier and more ac-
cessible to the average American
family than ever before in history,
according to the results Of sur
vey made. Tailor-made loans to
finance homes now are cut to fit
the needs of the individual borrow
er.
FORECLOSURES DECLINING
Foreclosures on urban real es-
tate in the United States is declin-
ing steadily A decrease of nearly
so per cent in the number of homes
foreclosed during the first months
Of this year as compared with the
same period OF 1885 was noted.
This indicates that the American
home owner is overcoming the ad-
verse financial forces which caused
hundreds of foreclosures a day in
1882, 1888, and 1884.

GREAT DANE KILLED
BY BABOON
One baboon broke into church
and ransacked the vestry, killed
four sheep in one night, ripped of
the door of school and scattered
the books, and then broke many
farmhouse windows. 1t was tackl-
ed by Great Dane on one of the
farms, and after a short fight the
dog was killed. Farmers over all
area of 20 miles gathered to hunt
the animal, but it escaped.
A man who owns vineyard re-
turned to his home in Cape Prov
ince to find a troop of drunken
balloons outside his cellar. He had
been distilling brandy and left a
heap of mash to dry in the sun
The. balloons had eaten the intoXi-
eating mixture.
A troop raiding farm never
retreats in disorder when a man
appears. They feed to the last
possible moment and then disap-
pear in an orderly manner. The
"sentinel" baboon can almost GER
tainly tell when man is armed,
and gives the alarm much later if
he is not.
Troops Of balloons number from
20 to 200 and hunt in areas which
each pack recognizes. Poaching on
another's preserves is punished.

FURIOUS DRIVE
UNDER Way TO
END CONGRESS
President and Lieutenants
Active in Pushing Thru
Final Bills

WASHINGTON, June ID. (UP)
President Roosevelt and his legls-
lative lieutenants worked furious
ly behind closed doors and on the
floor of the two houses yesterday
to expedite the administration s
must" bills and gavel the 19th
congress into history Wednesday
night or Thursday. ,
The last week of the turbulent
session began with White House
conference of senate and house
leaders, after which 1t was maj
Gated a sweeping program OF led
eral aid to railroads had been
sacrificed in the interest of early
adjournment. Reports persisted
however, that there was more
than an even chance that the car
riers would be awarded Recon-
struction Finance corporation
loans to ease their plight.
While the chief executive sign
ed the S463.65l,OO0 war depart
ment appropriation bill, congress
approved six conference reports
on other measures and sent tnem
to the White House. The legisia-
ton would center all federal reg
