GRAIN
STEAMER TYGERTS
DIFFICULTY

The Steamer Tygert had sin
gular experience in coming into
the creek on Saturday night or
rather Sunday morning. The high
wind had caused a low tide, carry
ing the ice with the water down to
the mouth Of the creek while the
incoming tide which Immediately
followed, swirled it back, and
packed it on the flats and across
the channel until it filled up the
space from the top to the bottom.
When the Tygert attempted to en-
ter the mouth of the stream she
found herself impeded and stopped
by this bed of slush ice as if run
ming into a mud bank. It took
two hours of backing and coming
again to force her way through.
Capt. A. H. Smith says it is an un-
common experience, their usual
difficulty being with surface ice.

New Orleans Battle Site
May Be National Park

NEW ORLEANS.-Chalmette Bat
tlefeld, where Gen Andrew Jack
son, his Kentucky Rifles and Pi-
rate Laftte's smugglers routed the
British from behind cotton bales,
may become a national park.
Movements have been under way
for years to purchase the old field.
The Louisiana legislature has
passed a bill appropriating $500. 1000
out of the public school fund to
purchase the land.
When signed by the governor, the
bill probably will mean that the
government will contribute $1,000, 600
to beautify the memorial, accord
ing to Col. E. S. Bres Of the Nation
al Defense committee and the Asso-
citation of Commerce.
The national park service already
has shown great interest in the prof.
ect. A committee recently surveyed
the site.
The state, however, will not pur-
chase the battlefield unless the gov
ernment agrees to reproduce Brit
ish and American lines as indicated

CHILD HEALTH PROBLEM
Christmas is Rish to Child Health
According to DIR. W. e. Morris

Christmas is a risk to child
health, according to statements
made last week by Doctor Wood
bridge E. Morris, director Of the
division of maternal and child
health at the State Board Of
Health. Dover. Christmas is the
big time of the year for children, :
he said. But it may also be the
biggest strain Of the year upon
them due to over-excitement, over
indulgence in food or sweets, and
overtiring activity. Any one Of
these. or all three combined tend
to undermine the resistance of
many a child to disease. Parents
who really want their children to
get the most fun out of the Christ
mas holidays will insist upon extra
hours of sleep or nap after din
ner for children under 12. They
will supervise the candy boxes
with an eagle eye and a strong
will. They will regulate the ex-
citement of the season SO that it
will not wear the children's nerves
ragged. They viii insist on plen-
ty of outdoor play"

SILVER SALE TO
Z. S. AIDS CHINA
Survey Reports China In As

FOR FINANCING WAR

SAN FRANCISCO. - Huge pur-
chases Of China's silver reserves by
the U. S. treasury nave been one
Of the prime factors in enabling CHI
ma to maintain its resistance to the
Japanese invasion, according to a
survey of the Institute Of Pacific Re
lations.
AS a result the institute finds that
China is in just as good shape fnan-
ciaIIy for continuing the war as ia
pan. and possibly even better
Neither shows an indication Of be-
ing near the point Of financial ex-
haustion, although the institute be
Ieves China in the end will be forced
to resort to initiation.
mo statements have ever been Is-
sued" the survey states, TO show
how much silver has actually been
taken over, but the silver deals be-
tween the U. S. treasury and Chi
nese authorities have been So COM
prehensive that little Chinese silver
has been sold on the open market
since transactions between the two
governments were first initiated.
The price paid the Chinese appar-
emily has been higher than that Pre-
vailing in the open market.
Silver Sold to Treasury.
The institute finds that since NO
vember. 1885, when China was
forced off the silver standard owing
to the United States action IN ar
bitrarily boosting the price Of sil
yer to As cents an ounce, the Chi
nese fiscal authorities have handed
roughly 1900. 900. 900 Chinese dol
lars.
At the United States price Of I;
cents per ounce this makes a tota
of 430, ,000, 900 U. S. dollars. Most O
this, the institute says, has beer
sold to the U. S. treasury. Nearl!
all of this has presumably beer
shipped out Of China, much OF !
coming directly to the United States
and the remainder Delng he4u eltlle
at Hongkong or London awaiting
shipment to its eventual America
destination when the moment IS IA
vorable.
Opium Brings Revenue.
The second source Of notflcla
revenue that is enabling Chang kal
shek to keep up his resistance
that of the opium growing province
of China, the institute says.
Before the Japanese INVASION
was known these provinces wer
yielding annually $4,000, 900 to Chi

CRUISING X-RAY
LABORATORY
Used in New York's Fight
On SilicOsis

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-The New
York state department of labor mark
ed another advance in its campaign
for the prevention and eradication of
silicosis and other industrial dust di-
seases when it launched it's Cruising
X-Ray Laboratody''-a especially
built body on school bus chassis,
containing full X-ray equipment and
the first Of its kind to be built State
Industrial Commissioner Elmer F.
Andrews announced that this travel
ing laboratory will be sent to the
state where dust hazards are known
or suspected to exist. BY tying in to
plant electric power the departments
X-ray truck will provide completely
equipped quarters for medical and
X-Ray examination of plant employees
in the immediate vicinity of their
work
In the past year more than 5000
X-ray photographs were taken Of
workers exposed to silicosis hazards
in the foundry industry. 1t was in
this work that the necessity for a
cruising laboratory was demonstrated.
Without the truck equipment, the
state Investigators and X-ray opera
tors have been required to cart their
bulky apparatus and plates about in
sedan. An X-ray laboratory had to
be improvised in quarters provided in
Industrial plants that were often in
adequate for the purpose. This was
necessarily a cumbersome and slow
procedure.
While the foundry study was COM
pleted under these somewhat adverse
conditions, there still remain similar
surveys to be made in occupations
such as the following: Metal polish
ing, rock drilling, quarry work, min
ing, stone finishing, sandblasting,
work with asbestos, vitreous enamels,
pottery and glass, work in factories
where soap and securing powders are
manufactured and in plants where alb
rasives are used in cleaning and pol
ishing operations. 1t is estimated
that within this group of occupations
approximately $500 workers in the
state are exposed to an extreme dust
hazard while 1,3oOo-l4,ooO more are
exposed to a dust hazard which is
somewhat more moderate.

War Makes for Dictatorship
(From "War Madness by stepher
and Joan Raushenbushl

(From "War Madness by Stephen
and Joan Raushenbushl
War never works to help demo-
cracy 1t always works against it.
Nations fighting relationships in
which one man has control of all the
economic and military resources Of
the nation, have to copy those die
tatorships. They have to fight fire
with fire.
France and England will probably
become operating relationships dur
ing the next war. Their democracy
will be found to be luxury to be put
aside until the end of the war and
maybe longer. We will do the same.
The first price of our entering ma
jor foreign war will be the loss of
our democracy. Like France and
England we will be lucky if we get
it back at the end of the war.
