No Change in Rabbit Law

The Legislature of Delaware at the
Special Session of 1920 enacted, among
other legislation, an amendment to the
Game and Fish laws. The wording of
this amendment is such that its mean
ing and intent, as it applies to the hunt
ing of rabbits, is not clear, but on the
contrary is susceptible of different in
terpretat;ons. As result of this PM
biguity the Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners has received numerous
requests to place a construction upon
the law for the guidan of interested
persons during the approaching gum
ming season.
The Board has carefully examined the
amendment, as we'll as the various
other provisions of the Game Laws re-
lating to the taking of rabbits, and is
unanimously of the opinion that the
amendment in question does not change
the open season during which it is law
full to hunt rabbits, and, that, there
fore, rabbits may be lawfully hunted
and killed during the approaching gun
ming season as heretofore, viz, from
November 18th to December 3lst.

st. Simon and st. Jude were both
apostles. The first is also called Simon
ZeIotes, and the Canaanite, to dIstln-
gulsh him from Simon eter. He
preached the Gospel in Egypt, and
africa, and afterward in Britain, where
as some say, he was crucifed. But
others state that he died in Persia, by
| the hands of idolatruus priests, and that
he was saWn asunder. st. Jude ls
reckoned among the brethren OF our
Lord, being the son of Joseph and
brother of James, but in his humility
he calls himself only the servant of
Jesus Christ" He is called in Scrip
ture Leb1aeus. expressive of prudence

pageant may be given.
The newly consecrated Bishop of the
Diocese will shortly make out his
schedule of visitations to administer the
Rite of Confirmation. And we shall
wantto present a Glass for this Rite
We therefore ask that those who are
contemplating being confirmed to bear
this in mind. The Rector asks every
communicant to assist him in securing
candidates for confirmation. Some
have godchildren' (now grown up) whom
they vowed to bring to the Bishop to be
confirmed by him as soon as they can
say the creed, the Lords Prayer and
Ten Commandments, and are sufficient.
ly instructed in the other parts of the
Church Catechism set forth for that

empty sound Many, too, have adult
friends who might be brought to con-
firmation, if they were interested in
the church and her teachings.

Mark Your Ballot at Home

The sudden change that extends the
ballot to women finds the election fa-
cilities inadequate. In the third dis
trict Mr.. D. W. Stevens says they will
have to vote more than one a minute.
and this cannot be done if the usual
time is taken in the voting booth.
Therefore all persons should get
ballot, mark it at their leisure in their
home, and so come prepared to vote
without 5 seconds delay. If this be no
done by large number of voters a
congestion will result in depriving many
citizens of their chance to vote.
