appropriation OF $4,000 to be paid the

Members Of Council who are not

as the police department through the

That the Offering Of higher wages to

According to rivermon, conditions

ice. are worse now than they have ever
been. The ice foes are thicker and
heavier than old ship masters have seen
for many years and with no indications
that there is going TO be any immediate
moderation in the weather. 10 is believed
the river will soon be closed absolutely

The buoys marking the channel along
the river have either been removed or
carried away by the ice and pilots are
now forced 10 depend largely upon
their knowledge Of the river channel TO

however, know the channel so well
that they do not have to depend upon
the buoy MARKINGS TO find their way
and they have been making daily trips
TO Philadelphia snd carrying much
freight back to Wilmington.
The chief concern now Of the Wilson
Line officials is TO KEEP this freight boat
in service. Whether 10 can continue TO
make these trips II the ice becomes
any worse is doubtful and this is
causing the company some serious
thought. This company carries much
Of the freight that comes into VIII

be required TO carry more so that every
effort will be made TO keep the line open

IS TYPE-FRITIER
SIGNATURE LEGAL?
Question is Raised in Super
ior Court Case Of Taylor
VS.. BurriS
COURT REVERSES
DECISION ON POINT

Whether a typewritten signature to
a legal paper Is valid was the point
raised in the case OF Robert II. TAYLOR
VS.. Walter s. Burris, appellant, before
Judges Conrad and Heisel in Supreme
Court today by L. Irving Handy, when
- argued for the dismissal Of an ap-
peal from Magistrate Daniel W. stew
ems. Of Allddletown.
Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr, argued for
the appellant Decision in the case
was reserved.
The anscript Of the records Of
Magistrate stevens, flei with Pro-
thonota.y Wigglesworth for purposes
Of the appeal was signed by the
magistrate on a typewriter and not
actually by hand. The law requiges
that such documents should be signed
under the hand and seal' Of the OIL
cial, and the argument was whether
the typewritten signature complied
with this provision Of the statute.
Mr.. Handy contended that the sig
nature on a typewriter was improper
that 70 should have been actually by
hand.
Anyone could type Mr.. stevens sig
nature on a typewriter and it would
not be known whether he signed him
self or not, he argued.
/ Mr.. Satterthwaite argued that 10 was
a proper signature; that any mark
placed on the document by the OIL
/ clal or at his direction was sufficient
Even a hole punched In the paper as
signature was proper.
Magistrate stevens testified that the
J signature on the paper was his.

ings While Plant is Closed
Urder Garfield Order
ORGANIZE THEIR
OWN SERVICE UNIT

The Bond Bottle Sealing Company
donated the time OF its employees to the
Red Cross work. during the four work
ing days Of the Industrial suspension
ordered by the Fuel Administration.
The girls took hold Of the work with
enthusiasm and became interested at
once, so much so that they volunteered
20 work on Saturday morning. which
had not been included In the agree
ment. More than four thousand surgical
dressings were made on Saturday
morning alone by the girls.
About siXiy-flVo girls were interest
cd in this work. On Friday, the sat
uiday halliday, Monday, and Tuesday,
35,525 surgical dressings were made In
a workroom at the company. which
had been especially arranged for Red
Cross work by the company.
Practice makes perfect. Surgical
dressings came day by day more quick
ly from the nimble fingers Of the 6s
patriotic workers. and the work turned
out became as near perfection as hu-
man hands could achieve.
By Tuesday evening these girls had
made 35,525 surgical dressings By Wed
nesday, these dressings were all in
spected. tied and ready 10 be packed
and shipped The work was supervised
by Miss Nellie Livingston and Miss w
Shurter, who worked untirlngly with
the girls during these busy days. Miss
Livingston and Miss Shurter were IN
turn assisted by a committee from Red
Cross headquarters in the inspection
and tying of these thousands Of dress
ings.
A work we'll begun Is but half done
at least this Is the way that the girls
Of The Bond Bottle Sealing Company
felt. and they began 10 consider the
I form ing Of class 10 so on with this
work. This idea crystallized rapidly
after the short address TO the girls by
Miss Hayes, the Red Cross nurse and
/ head instructor Of surgical dressings
/ for the Delaware Chapter Miss Hayes
/ explained 20 the girls the necessity OF
these dressings. and praised the quail
/ iiy Of workmanship that she. 0s head

was satisfactory and was appreciated

formed by the girls Of the company
which will meet every Friday evening
commencing this week al Red Cros
Headquarters. in the old City Hall Mis-
Livingston and Miss Shurter will be n
charge Of this class. as It Is due 10 then
that this work was so successfully or
ganized and such wonderful results q
TO number and quality were accom-
plished. Moreover. the girls, with on
accord. have asked TO continue the wor
under the same leaders.
Red Cross and the girls both feel tha
they owe a vote Of thanks TO the Bon

d two-fold generosity both TO its EN-
uloyes during the five workless day!
and 10 the Red Cross. has started
