How CD and AID went after Customers

printed and hired boys to distribute them from house to house. Sometimes they put them under the door or into the mail box but often they threw them on the porch or into the yard, and many were blown away. Also, OD found it was slow and costly way to tell his story, as in whole day boy could cover only few hundred homes.
 CD was disappointed to find that after all this work and expense, only few more people came to his store.

that same fifth inning that the Stars uncorked their power. a hotly disputed double-play having trap ped Turner off first base in the second frame, after he had opened with a single.
 Manning, first man up for the local squad in the fifth inning, famed, but then the blasting com- menced. Fritz s h m it z got to Hamm, the Sailor southpaw for a double. Addleman singled him to third, where Schmitz hurt an ankle scrambling back to the bag after beautiful throw from center had cut him off from the plate. Turner went into run for Schmitz and scored, followed by Addleman, when Haglund's drive went through the right fielder for three bases. For sythe singled to bring Haglund across and Shows double filled second and third and set the stage for cleanup swatter Joe McNamee.
 Over the Stands
 ! McName came through by polling tremendous clout over the grand stand in left for three more runs, and another tally was added to the 1 Stars total when Turner singled and was pounded home by Erskine's double. Manning, up for the second time in the inning, was out on a | fly, but Jensen, replacing injured Schmitz, singled.
 That was the end of the line for pitcher Hamm. He was replaced by a smoot- working right-handed fire ball artist, Alfred, who immediately ended the attack by flaming Ad- dleman.
 Alfred, however, was not to es- cape unscathed. In the next frame Haglund led off by pasting fast ball into right for single. Forsythe duplicated with drive to center and a passed ball spoiled an other wise perfect day behind the bat for Navy catcher Wiltshire and ad- vanced both runners. Snow whiffed, but McNamee walked to fill the sacks and Turner brought Haglund home with a grounder to first. Erskine famed for the third out.
 Ball Travels
 Again in the eighth, Alfred saw his smoke ball go places. Forsythe opened with a double and Snow followed by planting a towering drive over the center field fence for the final pair of runs for the local squad.
 All around sparkling defensive play by both teams was a feature of the game, but William A. "Mc- Graw" Holzheimer's hand-picked All Stars had Erskine's beautiful chucking, which nett d eleven strikeouts, plus overwhelming stick work on their side to put them far out in front of the Sailor club.
 Sundays win gave Manager Holz- heimer a perfect record against the best the Fleet has had to offer Alaska ball fans this year; follow ing on the heels of the defeat handed the cruisermen off the Louisville last Thursday by another group of All Stars gathered under his wing. atoning for the lickings taken by local squads from Navy teams last season.

U.S.S.LOUISvILLE. NINE TAXES WIN FROM ISLANDERS

After spotting the cruiser Louis villes' ball team to seven-run ! lead in the first two innings, the 1 Douglas Islanders got behind hurler Dave Turner to blank the Sailors the rest of the route in their game [ on the Island diamond Saturday evening, but found the visitors too hard to catch and went down to T to loss.
 A single and a sacrifice opened the game for the Sailors and the l first run came across when throw to third did not quite catch Thom- as, Kupiec reaching first on the i hit. First-baseman J. Tindall then stepped into curve for double that scored bo t h men on base. Rodgers wild throw on Wilson's grounder let Tindal reach third while the hitter went to second, both runners scoring moment later on a single to center by Brat kovic Bratkovic moved to third when Sailor pitcher GroSSman did his bit toward winning his own game with a double, and scored on the next play when Krize flied to center. Turner stopped Guillory's drive for the third out, but five runs were on the board for the Navy.
 A misjudged and dropped fly on the part of Island left fielder Jen- sen gave the Louisville squad it's final two runs and margin of vic tory in the first of the second in- ming. With one away, singles by Rocco and Kupiec filled the first two sacks. Cleanup man Tindall was disposed of by Turner on strikes, but then Jensen made his huff on Wilson's clout and both runners counted
 Out of Hole
 After a -two-three- third in- ming, the Sailors worked runners to third again in the fourth, fifth and sixth frames but StrikeoutS and tight infield work brought Turner out of the hole each time and kept his slate clear the rest of the way through the seven inning game.
 Double-plays by the Sailor infield spoiled Douglas chances in their turns in the first two innings, but in the last of the fourth the Island CTS broke into the scoring when Rodgers singled and stole and Jen- sen singled him home.
 Three more markers were added in the Douglas column in the last of the fifth. Andrews opened with a single to the box. Then Turner got a break when his fly to left hit a wire and dropped for single. Balog famed but Roller doubled, sending Andrews across. Another strikeout disposed of Bonner, then Erskine singled to count Turner and Roller before Grant flied for the third out.
 
 GrOssman to Showers
 Opening the last of the sixth, Douglas collected it's fifth score and sent Gross m a Il to the showers. Rodgers started off with a double and came all the way to the plate when Jensen dropped blooper be- hind first, Jensen being picked on the play. Then, H. Tindall went on to the mound to stop the hitting and did just that, setting down the final five Islanders to just step to the plate in the game.
 The Islanders came out of the game on equal terms with the Sail ors in the hit column, but did not have errors working for them as did the Navymen. Turner did his part to win his game with a pair of singles in three trips and Rodg- CTS and Jensen both got two for three to atone for their pebbles in the field

TRADE PROGRAM
DEFENDEDBYH HULL
Challenges Critics Charge
Pacts Brought Flood of
Farm Products.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Critics of the administrations re-
ciprocal trade agreement program had
an answer today as Secretary Of State
Hull addressed letters to two members
Of Congress in refutation of their
claims of harmful results of the pro-
gram.
Secretary Hull challenged as "funda-
mentally unsound" an assertion by
Representative Schneider. Progressive,
OF Wisconsin that the trade agree
ments program had brought a food of
agricultural products into this country.
In a letter to Mr.. Schneider, the
Secretary of State said that during
same period of 1887; wheat exports
OF corn had risen to "a, ,l68, 900 bushels,
compared with $4,000 bushels in the
same period Of 1887, wheat exports
had increased to 43,275,0OO bushels
from $4,000, while imports of corn
had dropped from 38, ,341 900 to 227, 900
and of wheat from 6,772,0 to 5000.
The Wisconsin Representative had
criticized the trade agreements in a
letter to President Roosevelt, pub
lished in the Congressional Record.
Lists Important Imports.
Noting that Mr.. Schneider had in
cluded wood, paper and textiles in his
agricultural figures. Secretary Hull said
that our most important agricultural
imports are commodities such as rub
Der, coffee. tea and sugar, which either
cannot be produced here or cannot be
produced in volume at reasonable cost,
MIR. Hull said tariff reductions by
this country bring similar reductions
from other countries and stimulate
trade. Therefore, he added, 1.-The
trade agreements are, in fact, provid-
ing a significant contribution to the
maintenance of orderly and peaceful
international relations"
He declared, however the reductions
were not being made Ito buy peace"
Charges Ridiculed.
In another letter, to Representative
Ramsay, Democrat, of West Virginia
MIR. Hull ridiculed charges that the
glass industry is suffering because of
concessions to Czechoslovakia. He
said the concessions were small and
were made only beginning April 16, SO
their effect could not yet be felt. Mr..
Ramsay has supported the agreements,
but they have been attacked in his
district. The Representative had for
warded some of the criticisms to Sec
retary Hull.
Commenting on the implication
that I am free trader and the trade
agreements program free-trade pro-
gram" Mr.. Hull said:
MY personal position by now should
be better known than this. What I
condemn are excessive tariffs, tariffs
high out of all reason, that in effect
give q special privilege to the few in
dustries sheltering behind them at the
expense of all those in the Nation who
live by exports and to the detriment of
consumers generally"

ELECTRIC CHAIR" FOR FOWL
Poultrymen Find 1t a Humane
Method For Killing Poultry

An electric chair" that is said
to inflict instant and painless death
on all fowl, and at the same time
loosens their feathers, which MAX
es plucking much easier, has been
introduced to the poultry field. The
inventor is a former student of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology who had been raising hens
for many years, and who often
found it necessary to kill from 500
to 1000 broilers a week. Finding
this a tedious task he decided to
try to find more humane method
Of killing fowl, the result Of which
was the creation Of the 'poultro-
cutor." The device Is built Of met
al and wood and contains an arm
to which two pulleys are attached
and which are suspended over a
seat about two feet below. The
bird ls hung by the feet over the
seat" with a rope moose attach
ment hung around each leg. The

SAFETY OF CHILDREN

AT the last meeting Of the Board
Of Directors of the Delaware Safe
ty Council, DR.. H. ". Holloway, Su-
perintendent Of the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction. and
e-President for Child Activities
of the Delaware Safety Council.
reported that the State Board of
Education has revised its rules and
regulations concerning the trans
portation Of school children. In
connection with discharging school
children from buses, it was agreed
that the safest way for children to
get off Of buses was to have them
remain standing at the curb until
the bus started off, and the field Of
vision became clear, and then only
cross the road DR.. Holloway was
authorized by the Board to con-
tact the Motor Vehicle Department
and ask the assistance of that de-
partment in enforcing the law that
all traffic shall slow down to 10
miles per hour when a school bus
is loading or discharging passeng-
ers. DR.. Holloway also appealed
to the Directors Of the Council to
help in the enforcement Of this
law. The law to which DR.. Hoilo-
way refers is as follows: OLA Of
the Motor Vehicle Laws of the
C4a+a &c naIauaral i Tho Dvt,,,V
of a vehicle upon a highway out
side of a business or residence dis
trict upon meeting or overtaking
any school bus which has stopped
on the highway for the purpose of
receiving or discharging any school
children shall drive at speed
which is reasonable and prudent
and with due caution for the safety
Of any such children and in no
event in excess of 10 miles per
hour in passing such school bus.
b. This section shall be applicable
only in the event the school bus
shall bear upon the front and rear
thereon a plainly visible sign con-
tanning the words School Bus" in
letters not less than inches in
height which can be removed or
covered when the vehicle is not in
use as a school bus.
DR.. Holloway also stated that
practically all of the accidents that
have occurred to school children
have been the result of speeding Of
traffic when the buses were loading
or discharging the children. He
believes that if a drive could be
started similar to the one for stop
ping at stop signs, we could reduce
our traffic accidents to school chill
dren to zero.
