OFFICIAL
CONFERENCES.

So conferences are occasionally
held behind closed doors in which
Atlantic City lifts its hands in shame
and calls upon its police force to
accomplish certain reforms. The po-
lice force derives its support indi-
rectly from the wealthy and there
fore can occasionally voice its opin-
ion and make regulations regarding
the morals of the city.
1t therefore has occasionally.

kind of bathing suits to be worn. AT

the knees. But what can an honest
police force do when some pretty
maid ventures forth in defiance OF
Law and regulation in daring crea-
ton that leaves but little to the i'm
agination. No man wearing the
star and brass buttons has the
temerity to arrest her. Goodness

by the sweat Of their brows. Then
came the rich to Atlantic City and
made 1t what 1t is today. The inhab-
ttants turned from their rustic pur-
suits to the more attractive ones of
making their living OF the million
aire visitors. For all of which At

less much obliged. but still they can
not live down their original domestic

OF course, when Atlantic City has
some complaint to make against its
rich visitors it does so in such a
way that the wealthy will not be an
gered and withdraw their patronage.
No Atlantic City hardly would desire
that it lose its generous patrons.
But even to this day there are those
among its original Inhabitants with
ideas SO old fashioned and recollec-
lions Of the past SO strong that they
would desire to look upon women
fully clothed rather than in semi
nudity.

PEONAGE Charge
RESULTING FROM
RUNAWAY match
(By Associated Press.)

WAYCROSS, Ga, March f5.-As 4
direct result OF the runaway marriage
of Miss Addie Lee Carter and Thomas
P Hurst, February 81, eight promi-
nent residents of Bacon county were
given hearings in Waycross yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Herbert w. Wilson, on the charge of
peonage. The husband preferred the
charges and caused the arrests, alleg-
ing that shortly after his marriage his
wife was forced to leave him by rela-
tives, and is now being illegally de-
tanned by force at her fathers home
in Alma.
The father, w. NJ. Carter, is the
only one of the eight men arrested
that was bound over to United States
for further action. His bond of
$500 was arranged in Waycross. War
rants against Wesley Carter, Jim P
Harris, Robert Carter, Leon Carter,
Tom Harrison, John Harrison and
Grady Barber were dismissed.
Hurst is under $500 bond to appear
at superior court next week on
charge of kidnapping, his father-in-law
having him arrested when he eloped
with his pretty daughter in February.
It is claimed that Hurst's wife is
jdst past her 18th birthday, and for
this reason her marriage to Hurst was
opposed. Hurst is singer of some
reputation through this SECTION, z sea

REAL WAR ENDS
MILITARY SHOW
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 1S.-War has
struck blow at both military smart
ness and military picturesqueness
These two features which distin-
guished European wars of the past,
are now yielding to the practical. The
British Tommy in the trenches, wear
ing goatskin coat, rubber boots and
knitted cap pulled down over the head,
looks more like Robinson Crusoe
than soldier. French Zouaves still
wear baggy trousers, moorish jacket
and fez, but the cloth is colored
greenish yellow like the British khaki.
Belgians have changed their regulation
foolish little cap for a good, warm cap
which looks as if it were made for a
chauffeur
Among the changes undergone in the
British field uniform is a Sam Brown
belt made of webbing instead of the
more conspicuous leather. The belt,
designed a couple of generations ago
by a British officer in India, supports
sword, pistol and canteen and is sus-
pended by strap over the shoulder
1t has lately become the rage among
Belgian officers. In view of the short
range in trench fighting, the British
officer has been forced to do away with
the minor elegances of khaki flannel
collar and khaki-colored necktie. His
full-skirted overcoat early gave place
to short coat Of the model of the sea-
man peajacket, which is found warmer
than the old model besides being free
from the annoyance Of skirts. The
men of the ranks have of their own
accord, cut off their overcoat tails, be-
cause of their dragging in the mud.
France is reuniforming its troops in
the new tri-color cloth, a combination
of the three colors of the national
flag and of blush color. 1t is used
for tho characteristic great coats of
the men and for officers jackets.

New Roads Built By State

From June, 1918, to January,
1915, the State of Delaware spent
1856, 1913 to build 1913 miles of road
making the total miles of improv-
ed road to January /, $50, accord
ing to figures contained in NUM-
cipal Journal, of April /. Bonds
which had been voted to county
work to January ], 1914, amounted
to $1,395,000. The miles of dis
trict road built to January l, 1914,
were 1866.
Altogether there are in use in
this state 5000 miles of shell road
and 220 miles of water-bound
macadam.
The kind of road built by coun-
ties or districts to January l, 1914,
this state were as follows: Earth
or sand-clay, 60 miles, gravel or
macadam, 1916 miles; bitumin-
Gus macadam, two miles, making a
total of 226.6 miles.

No Provision For
State Institutes

A failure to specifically state in
the new Revised Code that state
teachers institute could be held
instead of the three separate coun-
ty teachers Institutes, as has been
the custom for many years until
last year, when a state institute
was held in Dover, may prevent
further state institutes being held.
1t was decided many weeks ago
that a state teachers institute
should be held in Dover, Del, next
November and the county superin-
tendents with the state commits
sioner of education have booked
their instructors and evening en-
tertainments for such a state in
stitute. The question is now raised
as to the legality of holding a state
institute.
1t is contended that under the
law there can be no state institute
held but three separate county in
stitutes must be held, as the law
specifically states that $3.50 shall
be appropriated each year to the
three county school superinten-
dents for the purpose of holding
an institute in their respective
counties.
