MEMORIALPLAN
Townsend Reports Plans to
Finish RushmOre Memorial
"Shrine of Democracy"
TO BE VAST MONUMENT

Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
of Delaware, announced yesterday
that the Mount Rushmore Nation
al Memorial Commission, of which
he is member, has, as a result
of meetings carried on in Washing
ton, formulated plans for carrying
on this gigantic work during the
coming year. Senator Townsend
revealed that William McReynolds,
one OF the Presidential Secretaries.
was elected chairman. Russell M.
Arundel, of Washington, is secre-
tary of the Commission, which is
charged with the responsibility of
experimenting all phases of pro-
gress on the vast monument being
carved out of the living rock in
the Black Hills of South Dakota.
In announcing plans being for
mulated for carrying on the work
during 1910, Senator Townsend
pointed out that the monument,
which will bear the busts of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theo-
dore Roosevelt in tremendous di-
mensions, is known as the Shrine
of Democracy" These figures will
be completed this summer. Con-
corning the Memorial, some inter
esting and compared dimensions
show that if Washington were fin
ished down to his shoe heel he
would stand between 40 and 480
feet in height. He would be as tall
as the Washington Monument in
d. O. If he should at
tempt to walk across the Hudson
River, in 40 feet Of water, the pres
ent depth for liners, he would just
wet his ankles. The Statue of Lib
erty could hardly reach to his poe
ket, and he could lift her easily
from her pedestal, and carry her
away. If he wanted to pass un-
der the Brooklyn Bridge, he would
have to get down on his hands and
knees and crawl, and the length of
his nose is longer than the height
Of the face Of the Egyptian Sphinx.
The eyes are s feet across, and the
mouth is IS feet, and yet these are
ID perfect scale with the noun
tains on which they are carved and
which surround them.

Icicles may add a pretty winter
touch to your home, but the big
ones can be dangerous when they
drop on someone's head. The safest
practice is to remove them. But
don't do it by leaning out a Win
dow. Use long pole to knock
them loose if possible. When you
use ladder be sure it doesn't slip
on the ice. Ice Skaters Before
you try to learn a figure eight, or
other fancy ice skating, it is a good
idea to learn a few simple rules for
ice safety. Of course you should
venturing out on it. And the wise
skater will take companion along
to lend a hand in case something
happens. But if you are alone
when the ice breaks, the Delaware
Safety Council offers these sugges-
tions for self-rescue: 1. Extend
both arms on the surface of the ice
at the edge of the hole and keep
your head. 2. Drag your body for
ward toward firm ice breaking
the ice ahead of you if necessary
until it will support your weight.
3. Swerve sideways quickly and,
with arms above the head, roll
away from tn eedge of the hole. 4.
Pull yourself forward on your
stomach until you are absolutely
sure you can stand up safely. Then
run vigorously to warm the body.

TOMATO TEST
BY GROWERS
Manufacturers To Conduct
Program in Kent County
For Third Year
MEETING TO BE HELD

Plans for continuing the tomato
improvement program in Kent
county including the use Of addi-
tlonal potash for increasing the
yield per acre and the quality of
the crop, in addition to securing
cost Of production records, are be-
ing considered for the coming year
by the agricultural extension ser
vice Of the University Of Delaware
IN cooperation with the Libby, Nc
Neill & Libby Company and the
American Potash Institute. At a
recent conference which was called
by County Agent Russell E. Will
son to plan this project, and which
was attended by Kenneth w. Bak-
er, extension economist of theUni-
versity of Delaware; George r.
COBB, agronomist for the Ameri-
can Potash Institute; Frank A.
Schaedel, manager, and William
Boyd, fieldman, for the Wyoming
plant Of Libby, McNeill & Libby,
various details of these proposed
field demonstrations were consider
ed for the 1910 tomato season. This
| project will be similar to the one
winch has been carried on Tor the
past two years on a number of
farms in the southern part of Kent
county in cooperation with w. J..
Dufendach, manager, and Ralph L.
Jump, feldman, for Libby, McNeill
& Llbby's plant at Houston. Ac-
corolng to these plans several to-
mato growers will be selected as
cooperators in this project to keep
accurate records in regard to cost
OF production, and one acre on each
farm will be fertilizer with an ad-
oltlonal amount of potash along
with the fertilization practice gen.
eraIly followed by the grower.
When the crop is harvested yield
records will be obtained from these
Two plots on each farm to deter
NINE the effect of additional ap-
pHcations of potash on the WELD
ana quality of the tomatoes. In
stdrung this tomato improvement
"orK IN the central part of Kent
county these cooperating farmers
will be invited to attend a slIper-
meeting to be held in the near fu-
lure for the purpose of explaining
the procedure that will be followed
N conducting this project during
The coming year. At this meeting
record books also will be distribut-
ed' and each grower will receive in
structions concerning their use
along with the records relative to
the potash fertilization demonstra-
lions In the meantime soil sam

USE OLD MOTOR TAG SYSTEM
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Den
new Cancels Shift in Tag System

The present system of automo-
bile tags will be retained in Della
ware, William D. Denney, newly
appointed Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner, has announced. A previous
ly announced three-digit system,
proposed by former-Commissioner
Zack W. Wells, has been cancelled
by agreement with tag manufac-
turers. Cancellation of the digit sys~
tenn, which would have required
new bookkeeping forms, index
cards and cases, will result in an
immediate saving for the depart
ment Of over $1,000. The privilege
Of retaining license numbers by
owners will be continued, providing
applications are returned to the
commission before a deadline
which will be set soon.
