OF IMPORTANCE this SESSION

Washington. Nov 36.-Legislation
affecting the railroads and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, in the
opinion Of administration leaders in
close touch with the subject. probably
Will not be pressed at this session of
Congress.
There is pending in the Senate COM
mittee on Interstate Commerce, the
bill considered 1T length last Session to
give the commission jurisdiction over
the issuance of railroad securities.
There also is Il movement which has
attained considerable impetus 10 en-
large the membership of the commits
sion. Both subjects undoubtedly will
be given attention early in the coming
session, but it is doubtful if either will
be pressed for action for another year.
Regarding the railroad securities
bill. difference of opinion has arisen
as to the extent OF authority that
should be given the commission over
railroad stocks and bonds. Some think
that compulsory publicity OF railroad
assurances would be sufficient while
others believe the commission should
have direct regulation Of the issuance
of securities.
AS a result Of this difference of
opinion, together with the unusual

SCORE BY INNINGS
STRING BEANS A CASH CROP

String beans are grown extensively
in places where soil, climate and mar
keting facilities are not different from
those in Delaware. They are shipped
by the carload, or by the trainload,
from stations that have no advantage
over the stations along the Delaware
railroad. They give satisfactory re-
suits. They bring in money and at the
same time are ideal to grow in a young
peach or apple orchard, and may be
followed by crimson clover the same
season. They are planted fairly early,
but after the orchard has received thor
ough spring cultivation. If they are
planted in rows cultivation may be kept
up as long as may be desired. The ne
cessary spraying of the orchard does
not interfere with the beans and they
do not interfere with spraying. If the
ground is thin and lacking in humns no
better crop than string beans can be
grown in the peach orchard during the
first few years of its life, and the
amount and character of the fertilizer
required for the string beans will be
right for the peach orchard.

KEEP ROADS CLEAN

County Engineer James Wilson has
determined to stop the farmers from
throwing weeds and other debris from
their land into the roads, and from
throwing their hedge trimmings and
weeds into the bitches along the roads.
He says that this comes under the law
regulating a nuisance and that there is
a fine of $50 for such, which will be en-
forced to the letter in the future.
Mr.. Wilson says that some of the
farmers in the county districts who are
the warmest advocates of good roads,
have been guilty Of throwing brush and
weeds into the roads, and that in many
places the bitches have become clogged
up and the roads badly washed as a re-
suit. This practice will be carefully
watched in the future by the engineer
and the supervisors all over the county
will be notified to keep their bitches
open and to watch the farmers and pro-
tect the roads in their districts.

CLOSE OF SUMMER SCHOOL

The third and most profitable ant
successful session of the Summer Schoo
at Delaware College closed on August
9Th. In both earnestness and ability
the students at this session far surpass.
ed, as a whole, the students at either
of the two preceding sessions. To this
fact and also to the fact that the State
Board of Education announced a short
time ago that students in the school
would receive credit on their teachers
certificates for work passed, is due to a
great extent the interest of the students
and the good work done.
Because this year no students were
admitted to the school who were under
l6 years of age, the enrolment 167 stu
dents was slightly smaller than that of
last year, but the number who made a
passing grade in their work was larger
this year. Of the 167 in attendance, S
came from Wilmington, al from New
Castle county, 20 from Kent county, So
from Sussex county, 30 from Maryland,
and from Pennsylvania. The number
of students from Maryland this year
was nearly double that of last year. The
reason for the increase is that the
school authorities of Maryland are not
only giving full credit on certificates to
teachers from that state who pass work
in the school, but are also eXempting
them from attendance at teachers in
stitutes. DR.. Stephens, state superin-
tendent of Maryland, predicts that the
attendance at the school from his state
will be even larger next year than il
was this year.
Examinations in all subjects Were
held on Thursday and Friday, August
and 6, and a few words of farewell
were spoken to the students at the
chapel exercises on Friday by Professor
George Dutten, who in the enforced
absence of DR.. Wagner during the
greater part of the session has beer
caring for the details connected witt
the running Of the school. In addition
to the regular academic work of the
school, there have been abundant re-
creation features. The swimming poo
has been open and swimming lessons
have been given under the instruction
of the physical director. The Mary
land girls made a clean sweep of the
athletic events, winning the tenni;
tournament, the basketball game, the
indoor baseball game, and the volley
ball match.
