The Importance of training the
youth of today growing up in a
changing and complex world was
stressed by DR.. George j. Fisher,
deputy chief Boy Scout executive
of New York, in Dover Thursday

ers attended. Addressing scout
masters of the Del-Mar-Va Council
at a testimonial dinner in the Do
yer High School, DR.. Fisher declar-
ed, Youth needs proper training
for a useful life more today than
ever" He urged that boys be en-
couraged to look to the future with
less emphasis on the past and
pointed out that in the scout move
ment boys had advantages denied
youth in other countries.
DR.. Fisher said that any organ
lied program should aim to pre-
pare boys for careers, good citizen
ship, and right enjoyment of leisure
time as well as build character.
John w. Noble of Preston, Md,
chairman of the Tri-County Dis
trict, was the POSTMASTER, Charles

Good Citizens" was presented by
scouts of Dover and directed by
the Rev. DR.. Elliot Field. At the
afternoon session motion pictures
of the Rodney Scout Camps Of the
council were shown. In brief ad-
dress, DR.. Fisher urged expansion

RECORD DELAWARE BANKS
Made $4,000 Ned Loans in First
Six Months of This Year

Countering assertions that banks
are not lening, the American Bank
ers Association published recently
the results of a survey of bank
lending activity in Delaware show
ing that the banks of the state
made 11,000 new loans totaling
S21, 100000 during the first six
months of 1889 and renewed $4,000
outstanding loans totaling $32,00O,-
600.
The survey also indicated that
less than half of the "open lines Of
credit" maintained on the books Of
the banks for regular established
business borrowers is being used
by these borrowers.
These figures are based on re-
ports from 16 commercial banks, or
81 per cent of the banks in the
state holding membership in the A.
B. A., and allowance is made for
the concentration of bank lending
activity in the metropolitan area of
WuInlnSI Ton.
The 16 banks replying to the as
sociation's QUESTIONABLE reported
that they made 6,567 new loans to-
falling S17,761, ,571 between January
l and June 80, 1889, renewed "a
194 outstanding loans aggregating
S24, ,064, ,289, and made 148 new
mortgage loans totaling $998, ,929.
The average number of new
loans per bank was 40 for an av-
erage amount of S2,705 per loan.
The average number of renewals
per bank was 1,512 per bank, and
the average renewal was for S995.
The average new mortgage was
for Sc, $50, and the average numaer
of new mortgages was 8 per bank.
In addition to making loans on
individual applications, banks in
the larger cities maintain what
are known as "open lines of credit"
on their books, available to regular
business borrowers at all times.
Four banks in Delaware reported
they maintain these open lines Of
credit in the aggregate amount Of
S9,671,700. However, they stated
that only s4O32, ,825, or Al per cent
of this credit, was in use on June
80.

Bobby Jones Seeks
S53,338 Tax Refund
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Robert T. Bobby Jones, jr., who
made a clean sweep of the major
golf titles in 1880, asked the Supreme
Court yesterday to referee a contest
with the Government over 1881 and
1888 income tax payments.
The Atlanta golfer contended in
a petition that he was entitled to a
refund of $53,338. This amount was
assessed by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue on $156,2OO paid
Bobby's father by Warner Brothers
Pictures. Inc, under a contract for
series of 18 one-reel pictures re-
lating to golf
The petition said that in 1881 Mr..
Jones gave his father "the exclusive
right" to 'his services as motion
picture actor" for six years for a
nominal consideration of $1,000 per
year"
The elder Jones was said to have
put his interest in the contract in
trust for the three children of the
golfer.
The petition said a plan to de-
crease taxes admittedly was
one of petitioners motives in making
the gift of his services"
Mr.. Jones appealed from a deci-
sion by the Fifth Federal Circuit
Court in favor of the Government.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The
shortest air mail route in the world
goes into operation this afternoon
when a blue and white autogiro
takes off from the roof of the
Philadelphia post office for the
Camden Airport 6 miles away.
The flight will inaugurate a
schedule of five round trips day in
experimental service. Test flights
have shown the hop takes little
more than five minutes. A mail
truck takes about half an hour.
High postal. military and naval
officials came here for the inaugural.
The program called for w. w.
Howes, First Assistant Postmaster
General, to give the starting signal.
If the experiment works out sue
ceSsfully at Philadelphia, it is
planned to copy it in other cities

elsewhere-where the saving in time

cation to continue as sponsor for
the project.
Now, unless District officials are
able to find another department to
act as sponsor, the nursery schools
must close.
AS explained by an official of the
local w. P. A., there is no alterna- .
tive but to close them" The w. P. A.
can pay for labor, equipment and
supervision of the children, but it
cannot meet the rent of the nur-
series nor buy food for the young

it landed on the ground right in

When they had walked a short dis
