raises the subject of a coat. Ahah!
At last the crucial point Of dis
cussion has been reached. This is
the round-about-way of doing it,
you know.)
What kind of coat should you
buy? Madam, that's strictly up to
you. Whether you choose fur
coat, fur-trimmed coat or a cloth
coat, do give heed to hubby's Tor
your OWN bank account, suitable
ity, warmth and durability.
Furs today have infinite variety
and style in the inexpensive-to-
moderate price group as well as
the very expensive group. They are
dyed, bleached, sheared and gem
orally glamOrized until they have
little or no resemblance 10 the ami
NAL on which they grew.
Let's scan the Attributes Of var
ious types Of furs so that you may
have some idea of what is best
suited to your needs. Kidskin-I
yOung-looking, lightweight fur
from the young goat. Most desired
skins come from China in natural
gray, back for the first time in
five years; also from India, Ara
bia and Africa, dyed krimmer gray
Cgray with white tips), or black.
1t has a tendency to shed. Recon-
mended for occasional wear and
climates that don't hit the freez-
ing point.
Fox-a long-haired fur, silver fox
most popular. Skip it if you're
short, plump or junior. 1t wears
moderately well and is fairly warm. !
Marmot-short-haired peltries
from China and Siberia. dyed and
striped to simulate mink. Wears

afternoons and big evenings yet

ing used TO ''dress up" the ciosh
coat.
And, Of course, there Is the old

that adjusts easily to more formal
occasions by the addition Of a fur
scarf, or muff, or what-have-you.

ocean dunes in the south. It has
trees of unusual height-pine, oak,
walnut, hickory and yellow poplar
predominating. The entire main
land was wooded when the colonists
landed there. Even along the
beaches the air is often pine-scent-
ed and health-giving.
Every square foot in Delaware is
historic ground. Every town has
Its markers and monuments to re-
call its glorious past, such as the
statue in Wilmington to Caesar Rod
ney who cast the deciding vote to
assure the Declaration of Independ-
ence. There are many old colonial
homes in Dover and Lewes is
known as the birthplace of the first
state. Every road in Delaware
leads to more markers, more re-
minders of three centuries of cul-
ture and tradition.
The flags of four nations have
flown over Delaware-the Neither
lands, Sweden, Great Britain and
the United States. The state was
named when Captain Samuel Argall
OF the English colony in Virginia
came to the entrance of the bay
and named it Cape La Ware, for
Lord de la Ware, Sir Thomas West,
then governor of Virginia. The state
has long boosted of a balanced bud
get and low taxes. Delaware is
little geographically, but it is big
in every other way!
The main part Of Wilmington
crowds closely about tiny, open Rod
ney Square. From The Rocks, the
city extends fanlike between two
streams, the Christina river and

of the United States, Delaware
farmers are close to a ready mar
ket and the state still has great
agricultural Importance. Wheat,
corn, hay and other field crops are
grown with ease and the sandy
coastal area grows practically all
agricultural crops, including fruits
and vegetables, known in the Tenn
perate zone. In the northern part
of the state, the staple field crops
predominant, but to the south the
farmers rely upon peaches, apples,
truck crops, small fruits, poultry
and dairying.
Industry in Delaware began with
grist mills, sawmills, boat and ship
building, and other small manu-
facturers. Wilmington and vicinity
is the chief manufacturing center
of the state. Its products are varied
and include leather goods, ships,
machinery and hardware. Whining
ton is also the headquarters of E. I.
DUPONT de Nemours and company,
the nations largest manufacturer of
diversified chemical products. Like
wise, Wilmington, the states larg-
est city, is its chief port, with ship
traffic passing up the Delaware riv-
er. About 20 years ago the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal was
converted into a sea-level route.
Paper-making plants in the valley
of the Brandywine employ thou

important quarry industry. Along

Brandywine creek, into wooded
highlands on the north and undu-
lating lowlands on the south. 1t
was first named Willingtown, the
name being changed about 1740 in
honor of the earl of Wilmington.
Dover, the capital, is near the
center of the state. It is the mar
ket and shipping point for fruit,
vegetables and other products
grown in the low, fertile orchard and
farm lands that surround it. In 1894
about 200 acres was bought for the
town and a courthouse and prison
were built some time before 1897.
Nothing was done about laying out
Dover, however, until 1717. It be-
came the capital of the state in 1777,
the seat of government being trans
ferred from New Castle.
The University of Delaware is at
Newark in the northwestern corner
of the state. Lewes, at the mouth
of Delaware bay, is the saltiest town
in the state and known to every ship
captain who has ever rounded Cape
Henlopen in a gale. Milford was
early noted as a shipping and ship
building town. New Castle, six
miles south of Wilmington on the
Delaware, is the oldest town in the
Delaware valley and has many his
torical attractions. Rehoboth is the
largest summer resort in Delaware,
due to it's excellent beach.

WNU Features.
DELAWARE is that BIG little
state in the heart of the East
coast, where so many riches
are confined to a small area. It is
rich in soil and climate as well as
in material things - industries,
banks and corporations. 1t is also
rich in traditions and history, in
military and naval heroes, in ven-
cradle homes, churches and public
buildings. 1t is called "The Dia-
mond State"
After having seen the banks
of the Brandywine a scene of bloody
fighting, am happy now to find upon
them the seat of industry, beauty
and mutual friendship" said Lafay-
cite when he visited Delaware i'll
1924.
For more than 300 years the citi-
zens of Delaware have played
significant part in the development
of the nation. It was one of the
original IS colonies and in 1887 it
became the first state in the Union,
ahead of all others in adopting the
Constitution.
In 1888 the Swedes established
permanent settlement at Fort Chris
tina, now a part of Wilmington.
This colony superseded the Inflated
one by the Dutch in 1881 at Zwaan-
endael, now Lewes. Through the CO.
lonial period the Delaware counties
were ruled successfully by the
Swedes, the Dutch and the English,
under the duke of York and William
Penn. In 1776 they declared their
independence, emerging as the
State of Delaware.
Industry, trade and commerce
fourished. The inventions of Oliver
Evans of Newport made the state
one of the great flour-milling Gen.
tiers of the world. In 1902 the Du-
Pont powder mills were established.
The Delaware and Chesapeake ca
nal was completed in 1929. Rail-
roads, modern highways and air.
planes came later, attracted by the
progressive spirit of Delaware. This
little state and its people have
stood the test of time.
Most of the early settlers-Swed-
ish, Finnish, Dutch, Scotch, Irish and
English-were accustomed to till
ing the soil. Situated within $50
miles of one-third of the population

DeIaware's Statehouse

OF historical interest is the old
State House of Delaware at Dover,
built on the site of the Kent county
courthouse erected in 1922. BY
1887 the facilities of the old court
house were no longer adequate for
the needs of both county govern
ment and the state legislature. 1t
was decided to ''pull down the old
courthouse and use the hard bricks
for the foundation of the new build
ing" as there was not enough money
for a stone foundation.
Funds were raised by a state lot
terry and construction of the new
building started in 1892. Three years
later the general assembly author
lied the completion of the battle
ments, covered the roof with cop
per, erected stone steps, paved in
front of the building and placed seats
in both houses of the legislature.

Delaware has clear-cut recre-
alton area-the shore line north and
south of Cape Henlopen where the
Delaware bay meets the Atlantic
ocean. There is excellent salt wa
ter fishing there as well as SWIM
ming and bathing. Fresh water
streams provide good fishing for
bass, crappie, pike, yellow perch
and catfish. The lower part of Del
aware offers excellent cunning for
small game. Some neighborhood
clubs sponsor fox hunting. There
are so fresh water lakes in the state.
Everywhere in Delaware is
landscape worth painting. With
farms and orchards along the Della
ware river and bay, the state is
capped by hills in the north and
