of parliament and other govern

Other attackers struck at a mill
tary camp at Dungeness, 70 miles

the ranks to a captaincy.
For a short time after the war he
returned to Chicago to help direct
Marshall Field & Co. But normal
business held comparatively little
interest for young Field, and helping
manage his grandfather's estate was
huge job in itself.
In the mid 1920s he moved to New
York, and by 1885 he had given up
his last active business interest
(aside from score of directorShips)

DIRECTORSHIPS
In recent years varied social and
philanthropic interests have occu-
pied much of his attention. He is,
or has been, a director of the New

Museum of Natural History, the
Saratoga Racing association, Chi
cago university, and the Boy Scouts
of America This variety hints at
the range of his interests.
His consistently winning horses
his flower gardens, his charities, and
his marriages have kept Marshall
Field III in the spotlight he has
tried to shun., In 1880 he was di-
vorced from his first wife, settling
on her 81 ,o0O 0oO-a-year alimony and
$3,oo0,0o0 house in New York.

of Americas greatest fortunes.

New York, Sept. 25-Marshall
Field III, stocky, bronzed, handsome
namesake of the famed Chicago
Merchant Prince" and heir to his
millions, has always had soft spot
in his heart for the English. He
was educated in Britain, sporting
''on the playing fields of Elton" and
graduating from Cambridge univer-
sity. His second wife (of three was
the goddaughter of King Edward
VII.
So firm was his attachment for
Britain as a youth that he often
had to deny rrrmors that he would
become an English citizen. He never
has).
Today Marshall Fields heart goes
back to Britain. Putting in the
fullest working time I have in a
great many years." he heads the
Sprawling U. S. Committee for the
Care of European Children. Organ
lied late last June, with branches
in ITO American cities, the commit
tee Is now starting its first real
campaign-to raise 100000 to try
to bring to Americas safety the
100000 children registered by their
parents in England for Immediate
evacuation.
In the early days of the commit
tees formation, many midnight

room, screened from the corridor

distinguishable from the secretaries

This desk, from which Field directs
the sometimes a bit discouraging
effort to find ships to evacuate Brit
ish child refugees, is a far cry from
the lavish comforts of Caumsett, his
Lloyd Harbor, L. l., estate.
From this 2,000-acre place, Field
often flies his plane to New York.
1t is the largest estate on Long
Island.
1t includes a pink brick Georgian
56-room house, 20-car garage, a
private pheasant preserve, ample
kennels, extensive stables (polo and

, hobbies, tennis courts, and many
beautiful gardens (Which often take

The Wilmington Police depart

operate and assist in the fireworks
display to be held Christmas night
at the living Christmas tree in Hill
ton, according to an announcement
made yesterday by Chief of Po-
lice j. C. Rourk.
Therefore the police department
asks all spectators to observe the
rules. A rope will be stretched around
the fireworks display to prevent
children crowding too close, and to
eliminate premature setting off Of
fireworks that have been erected.
The display, which is reported to
be larger than before, will last about
80 minutes, Chief Rourk said, with
steady firing of aerial shells and
set pieces in rapid succession. The
aerial finale will embody red and
green Christmas colors entirely.
The fireworks are given to the
City of Wilmington free of charge
through the cooperation of Jimmy
Wommack, and involve an expendi-
ture of several hundred dollars.
