This State, Compared
With Newest State

When a new state is added to the
Union, it is only natural for citi-
zens of other states to Immediately
begin comparing the newest state
with their own state advises the
Delaware State Development De-
partment.
Assuming that Delawareans are
no different from the citizens OF
other states, the Development De-
partment has come up with these
comparisons of THE First State"
(Delaware) and 1.-THE Fiftieth
State" (HawaiD:
While the geographical area of
Hawaii is small compared with
that of most American states, its
6,423 square miles is greater than
the area of Delaware (2,399.2 So.
miles, or, for that matter, Rhode
Island or Connecticut.
Hawaii, like Delaware is COM
paratively thickly settled with an
estimated population of $4,000 as
of June 1858. Delaware's estimated
population as of the same period
was $4,000.
The Development Department
notes that Delaware and Hawaii
have much in common with each
offering beautiful scenery and ex-
cellent recre ional facilities.
While tourism is one. of scenic
Hawaii biggest income-producers,
Delaware is a comparatively new
conner to the travel promotion
field; however, tourism is rapidly
becoming an important economic
factor in The First State notes the

H. c. Steward, the real es-

curing about the farms in Del

cular of farm bargains, which

United States Senator L.
Heisler Ball is considered the
bell-weather of the new Re-
publican majority in the Sem
ate, and it is necessary for him
to know every detail Of an a
mendment or bill under con-
sideration to vote intelligently
when the roll of Senators is
called. His name is first on the
epublic side of the
Chamber, and naturally his
colleagues look to his vote as
giving them an idication as to
how they shall vote. This sit
uation necessitates the junior
Senator from Delaware being
thoroughly familiar with the
