100 DOCTORS TO BRITAIN DURING JULY

WASHINGTON, D. C. Near ly 100 American physicians sail ed during the month of July for overseas duty in Great Britain and her colonial possessions, it was announced by the American Red Cross.
 Qualification of the first group of men to volunteer for service in the Royal Army Medical Corps or as civilian doctors in the Emergency Medical Service is being sped by recent eligibility notifications by the British, the Red Cross said.
 The British. it was pointed out, have agreed to accept for ser vice physicians now residing in the United States who received degrees in British medical schools. Previously only United States or Canadian-trained phys jeans were eligible. In addition. the British have cabled word they will immediately accept married men, although previous ly single men were to be given preference.
 Acting for its sister society in Great Britain, the American Red Cross is seeking up to 1000 doc tors to meet an acute shortage of British physicians in the Army and among civilians on the home front. Technica' aspect of detsrn1ining qualifications of vol unteers is being handled by the Division of Medical Sciences of the National Research Council, which is cooperating with the American Medical Association. the American College of Physic- ians and the American College of Surgeons. Physical examina- lions are being conducted in 27 key cities throughout the coun- try.
 With some 1,40o inquiries re- ceived from interested phys .cians, the Red Cross reports more than 650 formal applica- tions have been forwarded to physicians whose preliminary correspondence revealed they met with age and educational requirements.

Dis honest
 Auto Service

It is a shocking revelation and a serious indictment of garages and repair stations, all over the nation, that is revealed in a re- cent article in the Readers Di- gest.
 A twelve-cyliner used car was purchased and thoroughly over hauled. A 14,500-mile trip, back and forth across the nation, led to BAT places that held out help for the motorist in trouble.
 The procedure was simple. Just before reaching garage the car was stopped and a small wire disconnected.
 Honest repair men saw what was wrong at once, fixed the connection and either made no charge or a small one. Not so, however, with the majority of repair men who found something wrong, from a dirty carburator to ruined clutch plate.
 Of the 347 places tested, only 129 gave the lady driver square deal. Nearly two-thirds charged for work they did not do, found unnecessary things to fix or charged for unneeded parts which they sometimes did not furnish.
 The story proves once more the importance of dealing with honest men, when you have need of service which requires you to pjlace yourself at the man em- ployed.

Aviation vs. Trans
 portation Shortage

As the war progresses with its heavy losses of ocean tonnage, the cry continues for new ton mage: Calls for more ships to re- place Britain's diminishing fleet more ships to transport Ameri- can defense materials and troops to far outposts; and ships to handle essential supplies for in- sular and remote possessions.
 Diverting as great tonnage as possible from sea routes to transcontinental rail lines, Am erica still feels the need of more ships. Ship yards are daily lay ing down hundreds of new keels. Britain is asking for 100 more tankers today. Others send in their pleas.
 Transport bottlenecks loom in all directions. Wherever possible American aviation is being call ed on to carry as great per centage of traffic as possible, and yet continue to supply Britain with planes and build up the Am erican air fleets. Russia is ask ing for American aid, offering to pay cash, and her orders doubt less will include airplanes.
 Air routes are being looked to to carry an ever increasing per- centage of traffic-even in AL aska, and it is now visioned tSat perhaps aircraft for fighting pur- poses will be ferried to Russia via Alaska and eventually more urgent lighter supplies for Brit ain in her emergency and her postwar construction period will be flown over the polar Tegions.
 If such develops, Alaska will be on the route of a fleet of heavy air carriers. And this is just where the aviation program for Alaska contemplates major fields suitable for the largest types of planes built today and yet larger planes of tomorrow. This is one of the chief reasons that while planning and building fields and auxiliary services for Alaska, no small scale plan will suffice, and why immediate de- fense and development programs shouid not tarry nor be hamper ed by temporary or make-shift provisions. To measure up to the emergency, Alaska must have major accommodations, and that just as soon as possible.

For The Duration
(The Philadelphia Record)

Officers of American Fedora ton of Labor unions in the build ing trades have signed truly historic agreement with the Unit ed States Government.
 They have agreed, on behalf of 800,00 members, that there will be no strikes on defense work over jurisdictional disputes "or for any other cause" for the dura ton of the present national em- ergency.
 This agreement will go a long way toward heading off drastic anti-strike legislation pending in Congress especially if it is follow ed up by similar agreements in other defense fields.
 Admittedly, it is easier for the well established construction workers to enter into such an ag- reement than for unions in new ly organized or unorganized fields such as airplanes.
 The building employees work under union agreements in near y all sections of this country. The new agreement merely freez es the present set-up, and allows for some f1eXibility by stablish- ing machinery for the adjust ment of disputes and new con- tracts.
 Yet the construction industry, while well organized on the la bor side, is not highly organized on the employer side. Most con- struction work is still done by relatively small local contractors who are not banded into a strong national group, or even into strong local groups.
 However, with the help of the Government, the building unions can undoubtedly force compli- ance with accepted local stand ards by contractors engaged in defense work.
 A strike is no more serious a threat to a contractor today than the knowledge that unless he complies he will lose all chance at Government contracts.
 In return, the contractor knows that he can make his pans without fear of stoppage- especially from the WaSteful jurisdictional strikes that have been so prevalent in the construc ,tion field.
 The extent to which unions can enforce this new plan upon their members and their own To- cais is the next question. In the San Francisco ship strike, and in the North American Aircraft strike, national and union lead CTS pleaded vainly with their members to return to work. But for weeks the union strikers wouldn't obey their union lead CTS.
 This new building trades pact must be more than a gesture to ward off anti-strike legislation. It must be made to mean exactly what it says
 No strikes in defense construc tion for any cause during the em ergency.
 The men who signed it obvious ly intend to make it just that. They-and Sidney Hillman, who represented the Government - have laid the best possible found ation for industrial peace in a time of crisis.

Since his retirement, however,
Mr.. Richards was recalled on two
separate occasions. First time to
assess property in several coun-
ties in Western Maryland and the
second time to assess government
property in the Republic of Pana-
ma.
Since coming to Milford he has
made several maps of Milford and
Delaware which have attracted
widespread attention.
One map, of the area within a
16-mile radius of Milford, told with
drawings and marginal illustra-

lore of the area.
Included were illustrations show
ing the products of the various sec
tions, and hunting grounds were
illustrated with sketches of trout,
quail, raccoons, and bird dogs.

The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounced today that it has placed
orders for 15O, 1000 tons of new steel
rail, marking the largest rail pur-
chases made by the road since 1881.
The rail to be rolled under these
orders will lay almost 700 miles of
track, officials said.
1t is anticipated that all the rail
in the new orders will be placed in
track in 1912, doubling the current
years program of $4,000 tons of
new laid rail and further acceler-
ating the railroads already heavy
track maintenance schedules. Last
year $4,000 tons of new rail were
laid in track.
The Carnegie-Illinois Steel Cor
poration will roll $4,000 tons ul-
der the orders just placed; Bethle-
hem Steel Company $4,000 tons and
Inland Steel Company 5000 tons.
The new rail will include special
152-pound extra heavy section, as

MANY TASTY WAYS TO SERVE
MILK, ~BEST HEALTH FOOD'

June is National Dairy Month
And since the production of milk
is an important Delaware farm in
dustry, homemakers realize the
value of maintaing milk consump-
tion for boosting the health of both
city and rural folks.
milk is our best health food"
says Miss Pearl Macdonald, nutri-
zionist for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, because
it contains more muscle, tooth and
BODYBUILDING materials than any
other food, vitamins for general
health and growth and sugar and
butterfat for energy. Milk can be
used freely on cereals. In cooking,
use milk dishes-soups, chowders,
milk toast, cooked vegetables,
creamed and scalloped dishes, GUS
tards, puddings."
Miss Macdonald maintains that
there are so many tasty ways for
serving milk at every meal that the
daily quart for each child and
pint for each adult can be easily
supplied. Here are some appetizing
milk drinks that she recommends
as flavorful milk drinks for both
children and adults: \
Caramel Milk Shake
Mix to y cup milk, 1 teaspoon
brown sugar and 1 tablespoon car
amel syrup and a dash of salt. To
make caramel syrup: Boil Q cups
sugar and l cup water until light
brow min color; and then add /
cup boiling water, at first one tea
spoon at a time, until mixture is
thinned and cooled. Cook to a |
syrup consistency.
Egg MIX Shake
Beat l egg until light, add Y
cup milk, tablespoon sugar. dash
Of salt. Flavor with nutmeg or Gin
namon.
Other MIX Shakes
To Y cup milk and dash of
salt, add tablespoon of any syrup,

EARLY APPLE SHIPMENTS

First shipments of early apples
from Delaware are expected to
start around July first, according
to information received by w. T.
Derickson, director of the Bureau
of Markets. 1t is also expected that
the early apple crop will begin it's
peak movements around July 4.
According to Mr.. Derickson's in
formation, the varieties to be in
cluded in the early shipments will
be Transparents, Crimson Beauty,
Fourth of July and Early Ripe. The
crop this year is expected to be
very good, both as to size and quail
ity, since the recent rains served
to greatly improve the outlook in
the orchards.
