out a plan whereby the choice Of
units to be called would be made
after careful consideration of the
least inconvenience to the individ-
ual and to industry. 1t would be
placed as nearly as possible on a
volunteer basis. The sole purpose
Of this resolution is to enable the
chief of staff to make adequate
plans for complete ard immediate
action should the need arise pend-
ing the enlargement of the Regular
Army.
Pershing Case Cited.
Gen. Marshall personally re-
quested this authority for the Presi-
dent and said he believed it to be
necessary if the Congress adjourns.
If the Congress is in session, the
resolution has no effect, but the
question of the adjournment of Con-
gress has no place in this resolu-
tion. We wish to call attention to
the experience of Gen. Pershing in
Mexico in 1916, where as he ad-
vanced farther and farther into the
interior. he was forced to detach
more and more troops to guard his
lines of communications. He finally
reached the point w4fere the residue
of his force was TOO small to be
effectively employed on any mis-
sion. If it had been possible to en-
ploy the National Guard to secure
his lines of communication, the re-
suits would have been much more
satisfactory. Should a similar sit
ustion again develop in Mexico
while the Regular Army is already
engaged elsewhere in this hemis-
phere, we would then have no ade-
quate protection for Texas and the
other border States.
Let us take the Panama Canal
Zone. 1t is strip 10 miles wide. In
case 1t becomes necessary, because
OF conditions. to supplement the
Regular force in Panama by Ma
tional Guard troops, if these troops
were restricted in their operations
to the l0-mile strip under the juris-
diction of the United States it
would limit their efficiency. The
demands which may be made of
troops in active service can only be
accurately anticipated by armchair
or amateur strategists. Let it be re-
membered that. because of their To-
cation, equipment, training and be-
cause of the fact that they are
acclimated, the Regular troops in
Panama would be the logical troops
to use for any emergency in that
quarter of the globe.
AL of our experience in past emer-
gencies justifies the wisdom of au-
thorizing the use of the Reserve
components of the Army in this
hemisphere. The National Defense
Act of 1920 contemplates one Army
composed of the Regular Army, the
National Guard and the Organized
Reserves. When the members of
the National Guard enlist they take
a dual oath and are aware of the
character Of the service they may be
called upon to perform.
Three Purposes Envisioned.
The anticipated use of the Ma
tional Guard is contemplated to be
restricted to three purposes:
l. To replace Regular troops, either
IN the United States or its foreign
possessions, which may be used upon
missions to troubled spots.

URGES USE OF
COLD LOCKER
New Way Of Preserving Food
by Quick Freezing Popular
Among Farmers
PROVIDES BETTER DIET

The rapid rate with which the
freezer locker plants are increas-
ing throughout the nation indicates
the Importance of this newer meth
cd of the preservation and conser-
walton of foods, says Mrs. Kate
Henley Daugherty. New Castle
County Home Demonstration
Agent, University of Delaware.
Ten years ago she continues. there
were just a few scattered locker
plants in three or four states. Now
there are over twenty-eight hun
dred of them in forty-four states,
where farm families store their
fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats
so that they will hold most of their
original fresh quality. It's done by
what Mrs. Daugherty describes as
quick" freezing and storing at
very low temperature. She says
that considerable research has had
to be done on this development and
they didn't have any easy time
either learning to freeze veget-
ables. The Department of Agri-
cultures Frozen Pack Laboratory
in Seattle worked on that problem
for quite a while and finally learn
ed that vegetables had to be given
a quick bath in boiling water or
steam. had to be scalded or
steamed. !. before freezing. With
out this scalding, the vegetables
were continuing some of their life
activities, even while frozen. Ex-
tension Service Agents in the var
ious states have worked with the
farm people and locker plant of
ficials in recommendations about
the best kinds and varieties of veg
etables to plant for freezing and
how to prepare the vegetables and
fruits for the frozen lockers. The
most popular vegetables for freez-
ing are: peas, lima beans, corn,
asparagus, spinach, broccoli, and
other greens while fruits include
all berries, cherries, peaches tthe
freestone type), plums, apricots,
and frozen fruit pulps of all kinds
are delicious to serve with short
cakes and with ice creams. When
it comes to meat, all kinds freeze
well -fryers in the spring, hens
and cockerels and fish in the sum-
mer, game in the fall, beef, pork
and lamb any time they are ready
to butcher. Freezer locker plants
available to the people of Delaware
would help tremendously, states
Mrs. Daugherty, in not only con-
serving economically a great
amount of foods that otherwise
would go to waste each year in our
state but it would also provide q
better and more healthful diet fol
our citizens.

BANK
OFFICIAL DIES
President of Milford Bank
Succumbs at 79 After Long
Illness at Home
OPERATED CANNERY

Daniel Hirsch, lifelong resident
of Milford community, died at his
home on Causey avenue Saturday
after a long illness. He was 70
years old. At the time of his
death, Mr. Hirsch, an extensive
landowner in Kent and Sussex
counties, was president of the
First National Bank and Trust
Company of Milford, vice-president
of the Milford Board of Education,
and a director of the Kent County
Mutual Insurance Company and of
the Delaware Maryland Virginia
railroad. Mr. Hirsch was also
vice-president of the board of di-
rectors of the Milford public libr-
ary. At one time he was a read
ing clerk in the State Senate, but
in recent years he took little inter
est in politics. With the late David
Refs, he successfully operated a
large canning company in Milford.
When Refs sold to the late George
H. Draper, Sr., the firm was oper-
ated as Draper and Hirsch. After
Mr.. Hirsch bought out the Draper
interest, he took his brother, Lee,
into partnership, and the firm be-
came known as D. Hirch and
Brother. Upon retiring from the
canning business, Mr.. Hirsch be-
came a director of the First Ma
tional Bank and Trust Company Of
Milford. After the death of the
late Robert H. Williams some Ia
years ago, Mr.. Hirsch was elected
president. Under his direction the
bank has accumulated the largest
amount of capital of any Delaware
bank south of Wilmington. Mr.
Hirsch was a 32nd degree Mason
and member and past master o!

Bees Worth More Than
Honey, Expert Declares

ST. PAUL.-Which is more valu-
able, the bee or the honey?
This is one of the questions an
swered by M. c. Tanquary, pro-
fessor of agriculture at University
farm in his new bulletin, Bee
keeping in Minnesota" issued by the
Minnesota agricultural extension
service.
Bees are worth from 10 to 20
times as much as the honey they
produce, mainly because of their
work in pollination. the bulletin
maintains. In it, Tanquary shows
the relationship between beekeeping
and other phases of agriculture and
points out that Minnesota, with an
annual yield of several million
pounds of honey. is rapidly coming
to the frcr' f his industry.

The town commissioners have

l never knew exactly what it meant
To say forever and forever, while
You lived; but now ! know now,
since you went
From me. Forever is mile after mile
Of spa .e, impossible, uncharted; it
Is time beyond the count an, scope
of mind;
A rack on which all tortured souls
submit;
A prison with sealed door; steel
chains that bind.
Forever is from when you died until
I go. Forever is the thing graves
know.
Forever is the life, the years, you
will
Not live. Forever is a word for woe.
I say forever and forever, and
There are no words | better under

Ann Gives The Orders Now

Ann knew that an uprising was well under way in sae kitchen. The servants whispered behind her back, they glowered and were Sullenly perverse when she came upon them. With little tactful inquiry Ann had learned that the Superior market was owned and operated by Plunket's uncle. And she knew that war would be de- clared when the Temple account was taken elsewhere. Ann was in her room that second evening when Irene knocked on the door. May come in, Ann?" she called.
 "Oh, yes come in" It had oc- cured to her that she was well on the way to being as lonely as she had been in her first working days. She welcomed Irene eager- ly. Ann had been packing her fathers watch, the silver spoons and a few other treasures in rhe lower drawer of her dresser. She closed the drawer and stood up as Irene dropped to the bed.
 "I'm glad to note that Plunket hasn't slit your throat yet she said cheerfully.
 "Just give me time" Ann laughed.
 She's talking to Dad in the li- brary"
 Ann frowned. I'm sorry. I want to relieve him ol all that"
 "Dadll get rid of her if he doesn't want to be bothered" Irene lighted cigaret and lay back comfortably on the pillows. Its fun having another girl in the house." she said.
 "It's fun being here.' Consid- ering her day, it was quite a thing for Ann to say.
 Whats it like to earn your own living, Ann?"
 "Ghastly." They both laughed. Ann stretched herself luXuriously on the satin brocade chaise tongue, crossing her slender ankles. The two girls looked at each other, smiling a little.

 "Thank you," she said with a little warm glow. When the chauf- feur had driven him to the city. she attacked her duties with new fortitude. She went first to the kitchen. "IIl do the ordering and plan- ming from now on, Plunket," she said firmly.
 The woman's peacy eyes nar- rowed.
 After this, don't make the toast until MT. Temple is eating his fruit. It was cold this morn ing"
 Plunket grunted.
 What food market have you been patronizing?"
 ''The Superior"

 Find it if you can," the woman grumbled.
 "Plunket you will speak cour- teously to me or I will find an- other cook"

 Where are the limes?'
 Plunket whined, Me and the girls like limeade--"
 Ann turned away. Beginning now, MT. Temple will pay only the market bills which I have okayed,' she said.
 Plunket was washing dishes. She splashed the studs and clat- tered the silver.
 Ann took down draper.es and sent them to the cleaners. She superintended the cleal..lg of the bedrooms, feeling like nothing so much as a pitiless slave driver. Dinner was served that night with flowers and lighted candles on the table. It was a simple, well-bal- anced meal and brought forth a compliment from MT. Temple. T don't like flub-dubbery," he said.
