SD DOLLAR DAY
AT WILMINGTON
Chamber of Commerce Spon-
sOring Semi-Annual Bargain
Day Event on August IA
STRICT REGULATIONS

The Mercantile Section of the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
is sponsoring Wilmington's fifty
third semi-annual Dollar Day
which will be held on Wednesday
next, August IA The details of
the observance have been complet-
ed by the Cooperative Sales Com
mittee of the Section, which is in
direct charge of this semi-annual
sales event, which places thousands
Of dollars worth of diversified mer-
chandise on sale at greatly reduced
prices for this one Gay only Thir-
teen Of the leading retail mer-
chants of Wilmington comprise
this committee.
Strict regulations imposed by
the committee govern all partici-
pating merchants, one of which
provides that Dollar Day" shall
take place on the date specified,
regardless of weather conditions,
and may not be postponed. An
other regulation with which rigid
adherence is required, is that
Dollar Day" merchandise and
bargains shall not be available
either before or after Dollar
Day., and that there shall be no
advance reservations of merchan-
disc offered for the event
The August Dollar Day" will
embrace the entire range of local
retailing, and Dollar Day" reduc-
tions will obtain in all lines of
merchandise, being in no sense
confined to articles of personal
wear or adornment, although these,
of course, will be included. Every
possible article needed for personal
or home use will be included.
Participating stores observing
Dollar Day. under the regula-
tions of the Mercantile Section will
be designated by placards and
streamers in their show windows,
bearing the copyrighted emblem of
the Chamber of Commerce, and
this emblem also will be shown on
price cards within the stores. For
the convenience of visiting motor
lists, the Bureau of Police has au-
thorized a courtesy card" to be
affixed to windshields, which will
assure visiting shoppers every po-

lice courtesy in connection with
traffic situations.
The history of the Wilmington
Dollar Day" is interesting. Orig
mating in Wilmington twenty-sev-
en- years ago, Wilmington's Dollar
Day" has become famous through
out the nation, and has been copied
in progressive cities from coast to
coast. Hundreds of cities have Sc
cured copies of the plan, the ad-
vertising, the cards used in the
stores and the regulations enforc-
ed here for the benefit of shoppers
and merchants alike.
The committee is insistent that
there shall be no merchandise Of
fered which is rot strictly high
grade and thoroughly seasonal. It
always has stressed the fact that
the outstanding reason why DOL
lar Days" are held and why they
have been so uniformly popular
with shoppers from all over the
Peninsula and surrounding terri
tory is that the primal reasons for
holding them are to demonstrate
to shoppers that Wilmington stores
can and do continuously carry
stocks which will meet the most
exacting demands of discriminat-
ing shoppers, and to build up extra
good will among the purchasing
public.

old Negro, to be hanged, and Char
les Manuel, 16, Negro, to life i'm
prisonment for the murder of Har-
vey w. Pilchard, 61-year-old

the first degree against the two
Negroes charged with shooting
Pilchard at his farm last February
II. Collick bowed his head and
murmured thank you" when Gra-
son passed sentence. Then Grason
continued: 1--WE have decided that
because of the youth of Manuel,
and because he was led by an older
man, not to extend the extreme
penalty. But you, Manuel, shall
be confined to the Maryland pen
itentiary for the duration of your
natural life" ManuePs attorneys
earlier had produced a birth GER
tificate showing he was 16 years

than other beans and are much
higher in fat, but lower in starch.
Shelled green soybeans make a
tasty and nourishing vegetable
Agate, Hahto, Easycook, Rosku-
sun, Funk Delicious, Kura, Aoda
Bansei, Shiro, Hokkaido, Chusei,
Higan, Kanro, Nanda, Willoni,
and Jogun are all good varieties
to cook green.
Green soybeans are shelled by
first boiling in the pods for three
to five minutes. The beans are
then shelled and steamed or boiled
in salted water. A varying amount
of time is required for cooking.
Some varieties cook as quickly as
green peas and some take as long
as lima beans. Because soybeans
are 50 rich in fat they need only a
little melted butter or bacon fat
plus salt and pepper for seasoning.
Dry soybeans should be soaked
overnight and then cooked practi-
cally the same as any other beans.
Easycook, Chusei, Roskusun, jog
un, Hokkaido, and Kanro require
the least cooking of any of those
tested by the Bureau of Home
Economics. If these varieties are
simmered for about two hours af-
ter an overnight soaking, they
should be tender.
Dry soybeans may be baked.
but should be partly cooked first.
Any standard recipe for baked
beans may be followed allowing
three to four hours in a slow oven.
