McAvoy Popular
At Fort Myer

According to reports from
Delawareans at the Officers Train
ing Camp at Fort Myer, Coach
VIM. J. McAvoy of Delaware Col
lege is one of the most popular
men in the camp. His training for
wears as physical director and
coach has naturally made him
clever in first aid work. This has
become we'll known about the
camp and it is reported that when
any of them sustain minor in
iuries they Immediately look for
McAvoy who is never too tired or
busy to give his service in this
way. While the Coach will not dis
cuss the prospects himself it
would not be surprising to his
friends who know of his work in
the camp if he should receive a
captain's commission most any day
now. Some days ago while wrest,
ling with one of the men in his
tent each McAvoy received a Sc
we're scalp wound when his heao
struck the corner of the bunk. II
required four stitches to close NJ
the wound but this did not keeF
him from his regular duties.

ICENSE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
COURT UPHOLDS GOVERNOR

ed that this did not make the act
unconstitutional, Judge Heisel
dissenting from this opinion.
Fourth-Whether the persons
who furnished lists from which
the Governor appointed the regis
tration officers in the districts out
side of Wilmington, and the De-
partment of Elections in the city
of Wilmington, were committees
within the meaning of the statute.
The Court decided that the ap-
pointments We're legally made, and
that committees within the mean
ing of the law existed.
Fifth-Whether the act is in
operative in the city Of Whining
ton because it does not provide
that the governor shall select and
appoint the members of the De-
partment Of Election in case the
committee fail to furnish lists of
names from which the appoint
llltlIlS snail Dp Ildue.
The majority of the court de
cided that this does not make the
act imperative in Wilmington,
while Judge Conrad dissented
holding that it does make the law
imperative.
In delivering the opinion Of the
court Chief Justice Pennewill said
in part
The court are of the opinion
that the petition for rule to show
why writ of premeptory man
damus shall not issue in the above
stated case to compel the Governor
to appoint the registration officers
in New Castle county, outside of
Wilmington, in accordance with
the law should be dismissed, be
cause it appears from an inspec-
tion of the petition that the Gov.
ernor has performed his duty ir
compliance with the statutes.
THE act requires that the regis.
tration officers shall be appointed
from lists of names furnished by
the committees, and that they
shall be divided as nearly as pos
sible equally between the list
submitted for each Representative
district. 1t does not require thai
the registrars shall be equally di
vided. but that the three officers
appointed in each election distric
shall be so divided in each Repre-
sentative district"
In this the Governor was uphelt
in that he did comply with the law

William F. Hoey Is
Promoted To Major

Announcement has been made
of the promotion of Lieutenant
William F. Hoey to Major, thereby
jumping the grade of Captain.

news to the many friends of Major
Hoey in Newark. He was military
instructor at Delaware College the
past college year. He is a native
of Delaware and formerly lived at
Dover. During the Spanish-Amer-
lean War he served in one of the
companies of the Delaware Regi-
ment and was appointed to the

COMP ANY E NOW
In FEDERAL SERVICE
May Be Moved To Camp At
Admission, Alabama.
August 10th

The Delaware Regiment is now
in the Federal service and the men
are anXiously awaiting the order
that will send them to the camp
at Admission, Alabama, where they
will undergo intensive training for
several months before going to
France.
Both Company E of Newark and
the Machine Gun Company that is
temporarily located at the local
armory were musted into the Fed
eral service on Monday The in
dlcatiOns are that the troops will
leave for the south about August
10. Now that the work in connec-
tion with physical examinations
and the mastering in has been
completed there will be more
actual military work for the mem
berS of the two companies here
until they leave for Admission.
Starting yesterday there are drills
morning and afternoon and this
will be continued as long as the
soldiers remain in Newark.
There are now between 80 and
90 men in Company f. and this
company with the others in the
regiment will be built up to war
strength which is about $50 to q
company from those secured under
the draft. This will not be done
until the southern training camp
is reached.
The mobilization of the two
companies at the local armory
did not arouse the patriotic
interest t h at would naturally
be expected under the condi
tiOns but this is probably due tC
the unfortunate fact of so few
Newark boys being members OF
the company although known a.
the Newark Company. Not more
than 25 per cent and probably no.
that many of the 80 members are

Captain J. D. MckeOn, comman
der of the company, is popula,
among both the members of tht
company and the people of New
ark. In First Lieutenant J. A
Davis, the company has an abl,
officer of many years experienc,
in the regular army and the viii

ond Lieutenant B. r. Foster is

temperatures were not unusual The
number of clear days recorded in vari-
Gus parts of the state broke all pre-
Vious records.
1.-The year began with the flfth cold
est January on record and numerous
cold waves that left the ground as well
as wires and trees in the eastern half
coated with ice from half an inch to
two inches thick at the beginning OF
February. Milder and more pleasant
weather followed, tho April came near
being a record breaker for cool, cloudy
weather and heavy spring SHOWS
There was a great contrast between
the weather of June, which was excess
sively cool and wet, and that OF July
and August, which, taken together,
made one of the hottest and dr1est
two-month periods on the state rec
ord. The fall of the year was pleas
ant tho deficient in moisture, its most
unfavorable feature being the prema-
ture end of the growing season on ae-
count of a hard freeze and killing
frost in almost all counties on Sep
TENDER %.
THE average precipitation over the
eastern third of the state was 35.44
inches; the middle third, 1924 inches.
or 2.61 inches below normal. which
makes it the sixth year of the past
seven that has been deficient in mOis-
ture The annual amounts were below
normal over all the western half of
the state and most of the eastern. In
the extreme western counties it was
the third driest year since statewide
weather observations were begun
thirty years ago.
Conditions the early part of the
year were favorable for wheat and the
harvest that followed was ideal, but
corn made poor start on account of
the continuance of cool, wet weather
in April and June and 1t was so great
ly damaged by the drouth of July and
August the yield was the third poorest
in the past twenty-five years. The
sorghum crops also suffered serious
damage on account of the drouth,
which retarded their development so
much that only a small per cent ma
tured seed before the killing frost in
September. Wheat made a very poor
start the closing months of the year
on account of the continued lack OF
moisture in the western two-thirds of
tho tate"
