Two hours westward by slow mall boat from Crisfleld. Maryland, lies Tangier, gem of the Chesapeake Day islands. One needs no guide even for his first visit to Tangier. He seems to sense that he was once there, perhaps when he read the novels of o'd American towns that had only one street. He walks past boat supply houses and thence finds himself strolling along a crushed oyster shell road that meanders a rally, carry out a program of much value and Invite their families and friends to attend and en-Joy it.

Speakers will dl.scu.ss Important questions of the day. Debates, essays and musical numbers will be arranged carefully and the total audience at this vast series of Orange meetings will run into high figures. One number at each of these 8,000 Orange meetings on September 29 will be the reading of a message from the National Master, Louis J. Taber. of Columbus, Ohio, who everywhere is recognized as one of the outstanding farm leaders in the nation.

In that message Mr. Taber will summarize important Orange policies and urge the membership to renewed efforts and teamwork in behalf of agricultural rehabilitation. For several years this Booster Night meeting custom among Oranges has been growing steadily in popularity. Of the more than 800.000 Grange memr bership in the United States, probably fully 80 per cent -will be in attendance that night Indicating what a power such concerted activity as this may represent, and what a real national organization the Orange is at this time, when jt Is on the up-grade all along the line.

And, in remembrance, Captain 8mith named this inland-Tangier Is'and. When he went a bit farther up the bay he came to another island and that he named Smith's Island, after himself The early settlers on Tangier, back In the 1750s, were as unostentatious folk as ever lived. They thought that to live a moral life was to be truthful and honest. They had neither church. Bib'e nor preacher.

But they had a faith that would have leveled the Biblical mountain. When that great parson of the Chesapeake Islands, the Rev. Joshua Thomas, came to Tangier, like John in the Wilderness, he brought, with him the Word. Kven today, the folk of Tangier, like Cap'n Benson, will point out for you the site of the Rev. Thomas' home a dismal spot out on the marshes, half a mile from the pier.

It began with an aggravating forced landing of their plane in a cornfield. Under the slimulatins: influence of the farmer and his good wife, who believe that all the world is akin, they soon found themselves not merely marooned aviators on a farm but welcome guests and friends.

Colonel Lindbergh and the Oklahoma farmer quickly discovered that they had many intercuts in common outside the farmhouse. Comcidently. Mrs. Lindbergh and the housewife recognized each other as "meet-ups" from the outset and entered into a culinary partnership from which each partner learned much in the life-sustaining and comfort -conserving science of cookery. In fact, the plane failure and the forced landing had a delightiul aftermath which lone will be remembered with pleasure by those who participated in it.

army of students not only live all over town, but they are enrolled in 23 schools which are distributed widely. The board's task is made more arduous than it would be otherwise because of the fact that, even with the large number of buildings in use. the facilities are not adequate. This regrettable circumstance makes part-time sessions necessary for high chool pupils, the same rule in this respect being followed as that of last year. The deficiency, very likely will be overcome when the new P.

S. duPont High School is completed and ready for use, which Is expected to be an accomplished fact by next fall. Under existing circumstances, the only thing to do is to make the best of an awkward situation, a situation for which nobody is responsible, and which nobody can correct over night. The current enrollment figures show that 3,580 boys and girls are attending the High School. buildmc that was orisinally intended for a trifle more than 2.000.

This is a situation that cannot be helped. The educational authorities, with the fine cooperation of Superintendent Stouffer and his staff, and the teachers working under their direction, have managed their task well. We believe they will continue to do so. Existing handicaps have been overcome, so far as they can be overcome by human agencies. The problem was handled as satisfactorily as one could expect last year, and also before that -time.

Is history to repeat itself in the game of imperialism in which the Far-Eastern country has become an adept? The-e are questions suggested by Italy's actions and its uneasiness. There is a marked similarity between the Ethiopian empire and the vast Chinese province in one respect. Both have been saved from invasion and exploitation by the fears of rival imperialistic powers that the rich spoils might be seized by one of their number and cause an international conflict.

The over, extending its markets, continuing its intensive drive to sell its products, invading the fields formerly held by other nations to further its world trade; and a Japanese invasion of the African State is no more formidable than the present Japanese invasion in South American countries. Italy's high-handed move therefore may be regarded as entirely precautionary. France and Great Britain, with large interests involved in Northern Africa, have not as yet shown alarm over the Aby-sinian situation. A Creditable Siioiuc is gratifying to learn from an audit that just A has been mace public, that the adxinistration of direct relief by the Delaware Temporary Emergency Relief Commission was done at an administrative expense of only eight cents on the collar. This, it seems to us.

is a highly creditable showing, particularly in view of the large amount of money handled, the w.de scope of the undertaking and the difficulties encountered. The audit was public by Governor Buck, to hum it as delivered by the firm of accountants that made it. The Temporary Emergency Relief Commission, which preceded the present Relief Commission. More Dretlcinc Needed lTTHEN soundings made in the Delaware City entrance to the Chesapeake and Delaware canal show in places only two feet of water at low-tide, it is high time that something of a remedial nature be done by the Federal Government. For many years that entrance was the only one at the eastern end of the canal and it had a depth, by lock and otherwise, that was adequate for the traffic then handled.

Then came the new dispensation. The canal was purchased by the Federal Government, the locks were torn out and the canal was converted into a tide-water stream connecting the Chesapeake and the Delaware. That improvement carried with it what the government engineers regarded as the necessity for a new eastern entrance to the canal a short distance south of the old one. That put Delaware City out of the picture so far as through traffic was affected. The people of Delaware City asked that the old entrance be maintained as a harbor refuse and anchorage for light-draft craft.

That request was granted and certain dredging was done. For a time it sufficed. Since then, however, the old entrance has silted up. Now, at low tide, the depth of the water is far from what it ought to be for the use of light-draft boats which desire to enter and leave the canal by that route or to use the inside basin for anchorage purposes. That has resulted in a furtlyr request for dredging and it.

Sir Henry Wood is one of the ablest of British orchestra conductors, as well as a composer of notable attainments. But his hair is not unduly long and his name is wholly unromantic.

When conducting iie does not prance about as if a bee were sting- mg his ear. He's as British as his name. 1 In the course, of a long career in music he discovered the public was most generous in its "Ohs" and "Ahs" for the work of composers and musicians whoe names end in "sky" a. id who habitually boycott the barber. So Sir Henry- had bright idea.

Five years ago when his orchestra was to give a famous Bach organ composition, he announced that it had been transcribed for the full orchestra by Paul Klenovsky, a young man understood to have lived in Moscow." The program note added a warm commendation of iClcnovsky's art. The performance was received so well that Sir Henry's public demanded Klenovsky be brought to Another program note explained why that could not be: "It is a great pity that this young man has died. His transcription shows the hand of the master in eery bar. His early death has robbed Russian music of a really brilliant recruit." It was all very sad. But Sir Henry did not seem so overwhelmed by sricf as some of his friends thought he should be.

He wa even heard to chuckle. Then he explained that Klenovsky never lived or died. Henry Wood and Paul Klenovsky are the same person. The Brit.sh conductor successfully fooled the critics and his public for five years. But since art is immortal, Klenovsky will live; oecaufe.

Sir Henry says: '-For the future my scoring will be announced as by Paul Klenovsky" The young man from Moscow has made good. The incident expla ns why many an American singer with a plain ham-and-egs name has found it expedient to give it an Italian or Spanish twist As Barnum nnv college. M. R. A.

If anything of a desirable nature be in the industrial offing for Wilmington, Delaware and the Eastern Shore, let it be striven for, obtained and put in beneficial operation as quickly as possible. We need capital, trade, work and wages today as we seldom have needed them before.

Their ob-tainment will be a great and useful act of public service that will be appreciated by and beneficial to everyone in Delmarva. John S. From the Dover State News Not only the City of Wilmington, but the entire Slate of Delaware, has suffered a distinct loss the death last week of John S. Rossell, prominent Wilmington banker and public citizen, who throughout his long hie of 78 years appeared to derive his greatest pleasure in service to others than himself. It- would require columns cf space to even briefly outline the many activities in which Mr.

Ros'-ell was engaged during his long and useful life. He was a member of many commissions and organizations all dedicated to public welfare and the common good. Among his most recent activities was his service cn the Old Age Pension Commission in which he took great interest because it was a cause dedicated to the welfare of others and thus in line with the policies of his lifetime. Mr. Rossell was a Democrat and while in recent years he has not been active in his leadership of that party, he has served it well upon more than one occasion in the past In 1912, he helped to prepare the naval plank in the National Demccrati: platform.

Mr. Rossell was a man of lovable ppf-sonality and the highest character, beloved by all who enjoyed the privilege cf his friendship or acquaintance and highly esteemed even by those who had never met him but who were familiar with his Ions and loyal services to his fellow men. His Inspection of Fishing Boat From the Newark Pest We publish today the State Highway Department's story of the fine seasons at Delaware's fishing ports which have followed the good roads. This is a great asset for the State, and gives pleasure and interest in Delaware's attractive shorp and streams a change to spread as it should. We have heard recently complaints that should be taken as a valuable warning against a danger which misht, by serious accid2nt.

spoil for years our pleasure and pride in the whole life cf the river and the ports. Fishing parties have noted unsafe boats sent out for deep-water fishing and beat captains who cannot read a compass and knew that their life-saving equipment is so old that it has become useless. We do not know the provisions for inspection of boats for hire by fishing parties, but we are convinced that those in charge and those who own or operate the boats should take no chances with the lives for which they are rtsponsibls. That an easy conscience about inadequate safety equipment and unsafe boats is criminal is vividly proved by many tragic accidents, and one irresponsible person can bring harm to the whole group of scrupulously careful boatmen at his port. Recreation Facilities Popular ris evident, from reports compiled by ofScers of the Board of Park Commissioners, that the people of Wilmington appreciate the city's public recreation facilities, most of which are under the jurisdiction and management of the board.

The reports show that during the Summer season, just ended, the five municipal baths were used by 251,159 persons. The playground attendance for the year that ended September 1 totaled 664,835. of which number .432.646 persons attended during the Summer. One thousand sue hundred and forty-four permits were issued for baseball games on park and playground diamonds, 411 permits were issued for soft ball games and 6,060 for tennis matches. Our recreation facilities obviously are serving a food purpose.

They not only supply enjoyment and healthful exercLe to thousands of our people, adults as well as children, but they also are the means of keeping off the streets many boys and girls who otherwise would be exposed to danger and unwholesome influences.

Those courses are open to persons 16 years old, or older. They make for better citizenship in many essential respects.

One of the chief aims is to prepare men and women for intelligent citizenship. In brief, the centers are worth while in all respects.
