HOTEL MORRISON, CHICAGO,
July 13.-All basic differences have
been adjusted and the new third
party win be formally launched, it
was officially announced after an all
might conference of leaders of the
committee of forty-eight and the
American labor party.
Faced by threats Of the rank and
file of both the labor and forty-eight
conventions to take matters into their
own hands and effect an amalgama-
ton, unless an agreement was reach
ed in committee when the meetings
ireconvened at ten a. M. today, the
leaders within a few hours appar-
emily accomplished what they had
hitherto failed to do in three days
of wrangling-reached a common
understanding.
The Joint committee on platform
was still in session three hours be-
fore expiration or the time nm1t,
but, according to the leaders, they
would be able to present a compro-
mise program
Indicat tions were the platform
would provide for government own
ership of public utilities; opposition
to the league of nations; recognition
of Irish independence; opposition to
compulsory military training: taxa
tion to force idle land into use"
equal economic, political and legal
rights for all persons; Immediate
restoration" of free speech, free
press, right of assembly and other
constitutional guarantees; abolition
of the injunction IN labor cases, and
endorsement of labor's right to or
ganize and bargain collectively
through representatives OF its own
choosing.
There was still some friction over
two details of the platform. In ad-
dition to public own ership of rail
ways and mines, the laborftes were
reported to be holding out for demo.
cratic management" Of those utili-
ties.

EXPECTS BUSY SEASON

The season at Rehoboth Beach this
year promises to be very much bet
ter than ever before, for it is evident
that there will be more people go
there for this summer than ever in
the past. The damages from the
storm early in the year are pretty
nearly all obliterated and the scars
not yet healed will have been cleaned
up by the opening of the season in
June. Indeed the charm of RehOboth
is irresistible, and everyone who has
ever spent a season there finds it has
many charms that are not offered to
rational people who seek a summer
home by the sea in other resorts.
Whether the hotel that has been re-
ported to be in the planning stage for
the resort is to be put under way this
season, has not been learned, but, OF
course, it will not be available until
next season at best. The greatest
drawback that Rehoboth has had to
overcome in the past was the trans
portation to and from. Within a short
time the du Pont highway will give
one OF the finest roads for motoring
that will enable the business man to
make the trip from Wilmington fol
week-ends in less than four hours. In
addition to the good roads, the cOun-
try through which the highway passes
is interesting in the extreme. 1t is
understood that all of the cottages at
Rehoboth have been taken for the sea-
son and the demand has not been more
than half met

CASE UNDER NEW CODE

A case before Justice of the Peace
E. F. Wood of Dover involving an in
depreciation of the new school code,
which was to have been heard Tues
day afternoon, had to be taken to the
Court of General Session, as a JUS
tice of the Peace has no jurisdiction
to hear such cases, although the all
leging a misdemeanor. The action
was against William Rash. of West
Dover hundred, on charge of permit
ting his two boys, aged II and IA
years, respectively, to remain away
from school. The suit was brought by
H. V. Holloway, county school super
intendent.
At the hearing Rash was presented
by John B. Hutton, who raised the
question of the right of a justice of
the peace to hear such case for two
reasons: First, the constitutional rea-
son that a justice of the peace can
only hear cases prescribed by law
where a two-thirds vote of all the
members of the General Assembly has
concurred therein; second, that the
code nowhere provided for the hear
ing of such cases by a justice of the
peace. Deputy-Attorney General Sat
terfield also held that under the laws
a magistrate could not hear the case.
Rash was then held in 800 bail
for the Court of General Sessions.

OLE HANSEN LIKES COMMUNITY
SERVICE

Ole Hansen, who, when he was May
or of Seattle, put down 1. W. w. dis
orders in that city, sees in Commun-
ity Service one of the best weapons
to prevent the growth of anarchy in
the United States.
"The industrial man." said ex-May-
or Hansen in a recent interview,
wants and needs pleasure and recre-
ation-good strenuous pleasure-pool,
baseball, football and dances. He
needs womens society, too. It's the
old matter of mans need for woman
and woman's need for man-and here
is where the Community Service plan
with its varied entertainments, bring
ing them together in innocent pleas
ure, is invaluable"
1t was shown by the former Mayor
of Seattle that unrest is due largely
to the lack of solution of leisure time
problems facing men in industrial
communities-men away from their
homes, in many cases, without the in
fiuence of wholesome women.
Among other pithy statements COW
ering Community Service made by ex-
Mayor Hansen were the following:
"A man at a dance isn't thinking of
anarchy"
Home is the greatest antidote for
bolshevism."

Despite the fact that fine 2.75 beer

ernor Coolidge promptly vetoed it,
uttering these words Of wisdom:
There is little satisfaction in at

is grave danger in attempting to de-
ceive the people. If this act were
placed on the statute books Of this

did he would certainly be charged

that the opinion of constituents is to

carefully, for the representative must
represent, but his oath provides that
it must be faithfully and impartially,

understanding. agreeably to the rules
and regulations of the Constitution

The authority of the aw is ques-
toned in these days all too much. The

in many quarters. If these doctrines
prevail all organized government, all

rrrER sIxrY-sEYEN YEARs OF

AFTER SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS OF
continuous publication, the Smyrna
Times. last week announced that alter
the issue OF May 18th it would be com
pelled to suspend publication until
the labor conditions change. The en-
tire force went out and left the pub
Usher without means TO set the type,
or make the paper ready for printing
and it was only thru the help OF the
State Sentinel, that the Times was
printed last week. 1t is one OF the
serious condition which cOnfronts the
printing business at the present time
and one that is possible to fall to the
lot Of any in the profession. There
have been no apprentices to the prin-
ters trade, and especially that affect
ing the making Of a newspaper. for
the past ten years. The old work
men have been called back to help out
the demand, but the lure OF high
wages in other lines, has taken the
younger men, until the older papers
are put to the solution of a growing
trouble, which many have met by dis
continuing publication. There is
great fact confronting the publishers
Of weekly papers, and that is the ey-
ident fact, that the subscription rates
will have to go to the Olden time
prices, of two dollars and fifty cents
per year for a local county paper.
With newspaper in the blank, at six
teen cents per pound, and the wages
doubled from what they were a half
dozen years ago, the owner OF
weekly newspaper, has poor busi-
ness proposition on his hands at one
dollar and a half per year. The price
for advertising has been boosted, but
it will have to be fixed at a still high
er notch. if the weekly papers are to
exist, and continue publication.

EPSON SALTS FOR CHICKENS
Many Digestive Troubles May Be
Overcome by Pureing or cleans-
ina the lntestines.

A great many chickens suffer from
indigestion or digestive troubles,
which may be due TO improper feeding
or some method Of management. It
has been found that many Of these
conditions may be overcome by purg-
ing or cleansing the intestines through
some means of a laxative. One Of the
cheapest and easiest handled laxa-
tives is epson salts. which can be pur.
chased at any drug store. For ma
ture fowls the dosage is one-half tea
spoonful per bird though if the case
is minor, One-third teaspoOnful may
be sufficient. An easy and effective
way of administering this is to mix It
with a dry mash of bran and shorts,
using the above proportions and aft
erwards moistening it with water.

Hold Up School Work
The House also passed the Senate
bill which restricts any buying OF
property for new buildings of con-
tracts for any building project under
the school code until July 1, this year.
The purpose of this bill is to hold up
any work until that time for fear that
its legality might be. effected by some
proposed amendment to the code 1t
exempts the Claymont special dis
trict and Wilmington from its prOvis-
ions.
After the urgent necessity of it had

House unanimously passed a bill in
troduced by Representative Lyons ap-
prOpriating 100000 to the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Farnhurst to
cover a deficiency for the years 1919
and 1920.
Mr.. Lloyd at first objected to the in
PRODUCTION of the bill on the ground
that the time for receiving new busi- ]
ness closed some days ago. Colonel
Townsend and Mr.. Hall explained
that the high cost of living was re- 1
spOnsible for the deficiency. The /
trustees had TO borrow $4,000 last /
year which was repaid from this .
years appropriation and it was now
that the deficiency for the
two years will be 100000. There are
52S inmates in the institutions at
this time. The bill was considered by
the House in committee of the whole.
favorably and then passed.
The Senate passed Representative
Francis House bill giving the NUM-

with the Court of Gener-
Il Sessions in the disposition of vio-
ations of the social vice law.
Senator Gormley was given unan-
nous consent to introduce new bill
which was requested by the Della
ware Anglers Association. The bill
which was passed by the Senate would
make it unlawful for a person to have
n their possession during the closed
season game fish, whether caught
within or without the State. The pres
snt law does not made it unlawful to

on nens afflicted with chicken pox and
re > and the successful results. He
believes that other diseases may be
treated by the vaccine plan. The next

be an effort to immunize pullets
against chicken pox or roup by vac
