PASTURING PIGS ADVISED
Tests Show Less Danger From Di-
gestive and Disease Troubles

Plenty of pasture and water for
young pigs will result in more
economical weight gains than if
the pigs are confined and fed
grains. Placing pigs on pastures
with ample water supplies as early
as possible is one insurance against
higher production costs. On more
than so Delaware farms, All club
members are carrying on swine
projects under the direction of
county club agents and c. E. Nc
Cauley, boys club agent at large
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. McCauley advises
these club members that Besides
the savings in feed costs, getting
young pigs out on the land means
less danger from digestive and dis
ease troubles. Some All club
members have seen their pigs al
most stop gaining weight due to
lack of green grass and an ample
supply of water"

SEAMEN SAVED
BY DIVING BELL,
Lieut.. Hugh ]. Finn, IN
known Hero of Navy Invent
ed Bell But Died Soon After
SERVED ON SUBMARINE

On a dark day about a week be-
fore Christmas in the year 1927
the seas off Provincetown that had
once rocked the MayfioWer swal-
lowed in their grey and restless
depths submarine of the United
States Navy The waves piled one
upon another, and beat the dia-
pason of the tides upon the rocky
shore with no dirge for the trag-
edy. But in forty homes that
night the cries of the bereaved
shook those to whom had come the
word of brothers and sons lost in
line of duty. Forty men died in
the tragedy and they have no other
grave than the sea-
A woman in Brooklyn bought a
newspaper telling Of the loss of the
S-4. Hurrying to her home She
carried it beneath her arm. She
always hurried home, for there her
husband was sure to be eagerly
awaiting her coming. He was
bedridden, unable to move across
his room without help, subsisting
on orange juice served several
times day. She knew that he
would force a smile at her coming,
but she also knew that the pain
inside him would show through the
smile, but that she must not let
him see that she knew. And so
she greeted him, and gave him the
paper.
He seized it eagerly and devour-
ed every detail of the tragedy Of
which it told. The story meant
more to him than to most Of those
who read it, for he had once served
on a submarine himself, and once
a brother of his had been in a sub
marine shelled during the war.
Every nerve in him was stirred by
what he read. For the following
days he asked for every edition Of
the papers to be brought to him to
keep him aware of all that was
going on Meanwhile his mind
was so preoccupied with all the
questions that it raised that he
could not sleep. Over and ever
again he retraced all that had hap
pened, and all the time he was
asking himself: What can be done
to save the entrapped men? How
could we get them out alive ?" His
fingers were busy with all kinds Of
drawings. He literally could not
rest for seeking the answer to the
riddle. He was a whole man en-
tirely concentrated on one prob
lem.
Suddenly, in the middle of the
second night, he woke his wife.
His bed was Uttered with large
sheets of paper covered with draw
ings. I've got it, Anna May. I've

ter of Ex-Governor Charles c..
Stockley, who survives him. The
death of Judge Paynter, makes
the third vacancy from death that
has been on the bench of the Della
ware Courts in a little over four
years. His great work for this
State was the production of the
Revised Code" of 1874. That code
is not known to contain a single
error, and it will always remain in
the legal history Of Delaware. The
funeral took place yesterday in the
Episcopal burying ground at
Georgetown.

DOVER ROUGHS

1t is stated by persons who were
at Woodland Beach Sunday that a
party of men numbering between
one and two dozen went with two
kegs of beer and other drinks and
set up bar in grove near that
place. Later in the day they went
to the beach and while there offer
ed an insult to a lady who was in
company with Mark Scout, of
Smyrna Landing, who as her pro-
tector, had to resent it. This led
to a fight in which Mark was sew
erely punished by the gang, seeing
which, an excursionist from Ches-
ter whose only interest in it was
to see fair play, interfered, the
crowd turning on him, the Chester
man knocking them right and left.
Observing they still We're not sat
isfied, he proposed that they retire
to the grove where ring was
formed inside of which he stepped
telling them to send forth their
best man. This was done, to be
knocked out as soon as he entered,
until the sixth had been f1oored
then he proposed that the whole
gang come and he would lick them
all at once, but they didn't accept
the challenge. The whole thing
was disgraceful. 1t is stated that
a certain hotel and lawyer had
much to do with getting up the
party. Mr.. Campbell was of
course much chagrined at such
conduct, and his first purpose was
to have all the participants arrest
ed and brought before a justice,
but he had decided to take another
course intended to prevent their
coming to the ground in the fu-
ture.

JULY FOURTH
SAFETY ASKED
Carelessness Caused Toll of
$500 Dead and 100000 In
jured on Previous Fourth
CAN BE CONTROLLED

With that as a rallying cry, the
Delaware Safety Council asks Del
aware to make the Fourth of July
this year a holiday instead of a
horror day. Last year." the
Council said, "the nation piled up
a July accident toll of $500 dead
and 100000 injured. The cost was
S300,000.000. Each year America
chooses the Fourth of July to stage
a jamboree of carelessness. The
Fourth is a day of fun, but the
Fifth is day Of reckoning. Iron
ically, this bondage to suffering
and tragedy comes as the country
celebrates the birth of its nde-
pendence On the highways, in
the homes, on the beach and picnic
grounds everywhere, men, women
and children are killed off by the
score, even as they celebrate
There is no rhyme or reason to
this wholesale slaughter. 1t must
be stopped! I'm these days when
our minds are filled with the hor-
rors of war, it is we'll to remember
that the traffic death toll for the
last two years greatly exceeds the
American dead in the World War,
and that traffic deaths in the last
seven years have been greater than
the total number of Americans
killed in all the wars in the ma
tion's history" In a resolution en-
titled, Put Safety First on the
Fourth, the Delaware Safety
Council states: This mass slaugh-
ter on independence Day can be
stopped if every one of us uses
caution and common sense. The
things that cause these tragedies
are things we can control: haste,
selfshness, thoughtlessness, the
desire to show off
The council calls on all Della
wareans to join in new Declara-
