The Delaware Safety Council an
nounces that the United States has
cut its all-accidental death toll by
10000 during 1888. Traffic, work
and public accidents all showed
substantial reductions, the Council
reported. But home accidents in
creased over last years total-and
increased to the point where more
people were killed in home accidents
last year than in traffic.
32.500 people lost their lives In
home accidents during 193S-just
500 more than died in traffic acci-
dents. So the old expression. Safe
at Home" will have to be revised, 1t
seems. to Unsafe at Home"
The odd thing about 1t is that
most of the things that cause acci-
dents in the home are small-little,
unnoticed dangers. like a loose rug

Huge Stocks Of Fresh
SeGsOnGbLe Merchandise
NOIO On Display.

Next Tuesday. February 81, will be
observed as Dollar Day in Milford,
sponsored by majority of the mer-
chants. Plans are nearing compile
tion for a mammoth bargain day.
Huge stocks of fresh. up-to-the-
minute merchandise will be placed
on sale at attractive prices. The
local police force is cooperating with
the merchants, and are prepared to
see that the many out-of-town shop
pers who make Milford their head
quarters on Wednesday next receive
ell considerations due honored
guests.
Last year the merchants of Mil
ford held their Dollar Day on Feb
Iuary 8. They were richly rewarded
because they endeavored to give the
public real bargains. These same
merchants, together with few new
members, will try to see that the
agan receive the best obtainable in
merchandise at a moderate cost.
An idea of the thousands of bar
gains to be had on Dollar Day may
be gained by a careful perusal of
the advertisements appearing in this
issue of the Chronicle.
The stores will open at the usual
hour and will remain open until six
o'clock, but will not be open in the

I'VE should reach maximum of
effective preparation in a minimum
of time; there is no other safe course
to take" Admiral Stark said. "The
country is compelled by inexorable
necessity to be strong in national
defense"
Major Burden on Industry.
Maj. Gen. Charles M. Wesson,
chief OF ordnance of the Army, de-
clared that, despite the size and
efficiency of Federal arsenals today,
in time of war calling for major
effort on the part of the Nation, 80
per cent OF our requirements must
be produced by private industry.
The industrial mobilization plan now
in effect, he said, calls upon Amer
icas private industrial plants to
produce in time of war according
to fixed schedules of production
already determined.
Their potentiality is an integral
part of our computed war reserve"
he explained. "If these production
schedules are too optimistic-that is,
II deliveries cannot be made in the
time expected-then our computed
war reserve stocks are exactly that
much short of what they should be
and that shortage may be the differ
ence between victory and defeat in
war"
Gen. George c. Marshall, who, on
September /, became Chief of Staff
OF the Army, in an -the-record
speech, discussed the penalties the
United States paid for lack of prep
aration during the World War and
the urgent need for our present pre-
paredness in the light of world
events.

During a forum discussion yes

Harris, jr, chief of the Industrial
Service, Ordnance Department, re-
vealed that within the next two
weeks the War Department will
have placed "educational orders"
for some 46 items of vital war ma
terials at cost of $4,000 900 out of
a total of S14,0O0,O00 made available
by Congress this year for this pur-
pose.

 The letter ends with: T strongly recommend and urge that you have a bill drafted which will become slIbstan- tial rate of taxation on gold.
