The committee was appointed
recently as a coordinating agency
to weld all efforts to promote the
industrial welfare Of Wilmington.
At the meeting yesterday, R: B.
Page. a member of the executive
board of the committee, was elect

session.
Other members of the executive

man of the committee as a whole,
H. E. Boyd, secretary, Thomas II:
Wright, Col. George Gillette, and
J. e. L. Wade. Members who were
absent were j. T. HERS and W.

Page explained that if the SIS,
600 requested is granted, it does
not necessarily follow that all OF II
will be spent and that any money
left over will be returned to the
city and county governments. a
previous committee, he recalled
returned some $4,000 of a $lO,0Ol
appropriation.
The money is needed, he said
to keep an industrial representa-
tive of the city and county in Wash

things sought by the Wilmington
Industrial committee for this sec
ton, and the $15,0 OO appropriation
sought, he said, lis only a dror
in the bucket in comparison with
what other cities and towns are
spending on their projects.
Any expenditure of any consid'
cradle size from this appropriation
he said, would be submitted to the
city and county commissioners fol
approval, and funds would be ex

Opposition to the proposal wa
expressed by George W. tt a S k
county commissioner, who said hi
felt the same ends could be at
tanned by sending some citizen OF
a citizens committee to Washing

It was pointed out on numerou:
occasions during the discussion
that none of the members of the
industrial committee has %sufficien'
time to devote to the work of the
committee to allow him to spenc
all his time in Washington ane
that some one is needed on the
ground to follow in detail the pro
gress of the various projects
sought.
Trask suggested that Henry E
Boyd be sent to Washington to dc
the work, but Boyd said that where
as he is qualified to handle details
of rate work with the department
Of commerce, he does not fee
qualified to handle the matter re-
lative to the projects now being
sought for Wilmington.
Trask commented, II don't think
there is any chance of a industrial
committee getting $500 of t h {

and turbines substituted before the
war.
The problem of the pursuing Brit
|ish warcraft was whether the rala-
er had fled seward or was seek
ing shelter along the rough Bra
lillian coastline.
The fight of Monday evening par.
alleled the classic struggle OF lSl4
between the German armed mer'
chairman Cap Trafalgar and the
British AIMED cruiser Carmania OIL
Trinidd Island, which is $50 miles
east of Rio De Janeiro.
The Trafalgar, a crack South
Atlantic liner before the first World
war. saidled from Buenos Aires to
keep a rendezvous with a German
gunboat at Trinidad, and there IT
was fitted out with cannon and
heavy machine-guns.
The Carmania, making one OF
at least a dozen inspections at
Trinidad because of its Use by the
Germans in that war as ara idre
base, caught and destroyed tn e
Trafalgar after a day-long flight.
That historic fight was called
the battle of the haystacks" be-
cause the towering superstructures
of both vessels were so torn by
shellfire as to resemble high tot
tering piles of burning straw.
The island of Trinidad, composed
of three sharp and inaccessible
peaks and inhabited principally by
the wild goats and hogs which are
descendants of those loosed there
in 100 by the explorer HALEY,
was used during the first World
war as a supply base by German
raiders.
Despite the difficulties in max
ing landings there, naval inform
ants said, it has been the focal
point of an area repeatedly
searched for German raiders by
the British in this war. 2

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

D. C.-"How can one overcome
a slight roundness of the Shout
ders? Are shoulder braces needed"
Answer would not advise
shoulder braces for a slight round
ness of the shoulders. This can be
overcome by exercise such as
standing up against the wall and
throwing the shoulders back until
the back of the head, the shoulders,
the buttocks and the keels all
touch the wall. Standing straight,
sitting straight, and walking
straight all help out.

on the buttocks. Even sudden
stopping may produce such an in
jury from "whiplash" or "jack-
knitting" the body. The driver al
ways innocently thinks of the car
going so miles an hour when as a
matter of much more concern to
him, his torso is also going at the
same rate of speed.
How to Lift
In lifting a victim of an auto
mobile accident never lift him face
up, with one person holding under
the armpits and another hooking
under the knees. If he must be
lifted before a stretcher arrives,
it is safer to lift him hanging face
down, by two people, one at the
armpits and the other at the knees.
Even on the stretcher he should
be carried face down.
Backache of different kind
not due to spinal fracture-may
come from poor posture at the
wheel. Long drives, on a 10y seat
with the shoulders bent over the
wheel and a slump in the lower
back will put a strain on the ten
dons and muscles of the back and
result in touring backache.
1t will be relieved by exercises
bending and running around and
doing a dozen squatting exercises.

'Scram right now, and give him
some attention"
That, seemed advisable. She
hadn't talked to Jeremy all morn
ing, and the hour was almost noon.
She went outside and broke into his
tete-a-tete with Tempe. She felt
that Tempe was just kidding as
usual, teasing and doing whatever
she could for self-entertainment,
and so she could take Jeremy away
smoothly.
But, surprisingly, it didn't work
out that way.
Gayle threw herself into the
mood of surface gaiety and did
manage to edge Jeremy away-but
when she turned to stick out her
tongue at the smaller girl, purely
in a gesture of teasing and COM
radeship, she saw that Temples an
ger vas aroused.
This fact was startling. She had
never seen Temple angry. Temple
voiced nc objection now; indeed
she smiled quickly and her express
sion changed, but there had been a
tell-tale moment in which her eyes
revealed much. She spoke lightly
to them and fastened away, but
Gayle Wondered
I'm jittery from last night, and

the apparent flash of meanness in
Temples eyes and face was purely

young man.

in fact, to make Jeremy fall for
