Mrs. Winfield Webster

Mrs. Ida Moore Webster, beloved
wife of Winfield Webster, promi-
nent resident of Vienna, died at the
Cambridge-M Maryland Hospital yester-
day morning about ten o'clock, fol-
lowing an Illness Of more than year
with diabetis. The immediate cause
of death was blood poison, which de-
veloped about Christmas. She came
to the hospital and every effort was
made to save and prolong her life,
specialists being called into consul
tation with her local physician. When
it was seen the poison was spreading,
an arm was amputated, in the hope
that her life might be extended, but
all without avail.
Mrs. Webster was the only daugh-
ter of Mrs. Moore and the late Levin
R. Moore, who died about twenty
years ago. She was a beautiful wo-
man, beautiful not only in appear
ance, but beautiful in the life which
she led. She was a marked favorite
with al lwho knew her, always ready
to help those in distress, to counsel
with those in need of advice, and
help freely and generously not only
those whom she knew to be in need,
but those whom she suspected of be-
ing so.
She was about fifty-one years of
age. and had been married about
thirty-five years, having been mar
ried when she was sixteen years old.
Her home life had been beautiful
one, and she lived and died conscious
of the fact that she had done every
thing that a wife and mother could
possibly do for husband and children
She is survived by her husband,
and four children, who are: Guy L.
Webster, who is associated with his
father in business; Mrs. Clay M.
Webb, and Misses Marian and Wini-
fred Webster, both of whom reside
| at home. She is also survived by
her mother, Mrs. Jerusa Moore, and
two brothers, Messrs. Raymond c.
Moore, of New York, and Elmer R.
Moore, of Flint, Michigan.
The funeral services will be held
from her late home tomorrow (Fri-
| day( morning, at eleven o'clock. In
terment will be in the Webster bury
ing ground, near East New Market.

School CODE MAY
NOT BENEFIT CITY
Question OF Legality Of Act
is Raised by Board of
Education
TO URGE COURT
TO SETTLE QUESTION

The new State school code Is not
likely TO be accepted by Wilmington
under the present Board Of Education
unless the sentiment Of the majority
OF the members materially changes.
While this phase OF the matter has not
been discussed in ope1 session Of the
board, the majority OF the members
have privately and individually cX-
pressed unfavorable sentiments towards
the acceptance Of IN new code for
Wilmington.
The point at issue is not whether
Wilmington will. but whether VIII
mington can constilutionally come
under The new code. Wilmington Is
not only a special district, but 10 is an
incorporated district 70 has "a charter
whose provisions cannot Doe changed
without n two-lhirds vote Of both
houses OF the Stale Legislature As
the now code viii make changes In
Wilminglon's school laws. and MS the
new code was passed by less than a
iwo-thrds vote in both houses OF The
Legislature, the question has arisen
whether the-code can be legally applied
10 this district The Board Of EdTca-
tion does not question the constitu-
tionality Of The code Itself. but the con-
stiiuiionality Of IFS application TO VII
mington.
