slap "a fine on Martin Sanvec, who had
been summoned to appear on complaint
Of his lifelong friend, Frank Rossito.
Who charged that Sanvec's snores kept
the entire neighborhood awake
When Sanvec was brought before

law 10 fit the case. After digging through
a pile OF books he finally reached the
decision that 1t was plain case of public
nuisance, and as such it should be heard
Sanvec was peremptorily ordered 10
cease snoring or move out of his boarding
house. Sanvec objected and Young was
about 10 impose a fine, when his wife
Interfered.
You snore some yourself, dear hus-

MANY MUSKRATS DROWNED.
of Every Evening

special Correspondence of Every Evening
Dover, Feb. While the storm has
assumed blizzard-like proportions, no
real serious damage has been reported to
property or life.
High tides prevail all along the bay
shore and with the high winds and the
lashing of the waves, and the freezing OF
the water, miniature icebergs have been
formed at Bowers Beach, Kits Ham
mock, Little Creek and Mahon's Light.
At Bowers Beach it is reported that the
icebergs are from eight to ten feet IN
height. No cottages fortunately have
been washed away or even entered.
At Little Creek the tides have reached
the J. L. Lowe store.
At Mahon's lighthouse the wind and
high tides have beaten heavily, and the
walk 10 the lighthouse, which Is built on
ron piling over the marsh, has been torn
down by the ice beating against it.
Thousands of muskrats can be seen
floating over the marshes at Leipsic and
predictions are made by trappers that If
the tides rise much higher, It will ruin
the rnuskrat business for the rest Of this
season.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Third Number of Delaware
School News Will be Ready
for Distribution Next Week.

The third number of the Delaware
School News" an official bulletin Of the
State Board of Education, VIII be ready
for distribution next week. This little
paper. which contains news and inforna
ton about the public schools OF the State.
is illustrated by maps, charts, and photo
graphs. The first number issued IN Oc-
tober has very interesting cartoon by
local artist.
In the January number is a brief article
covering the high spots of attainment
by the State Board Of Education since the
School Code went into operation. A
photograph of the Home Economics
department in the Laurel High School is
an eye-opener TO these who think the
lower part OF the State has been backward
in taking advantage OF modern oppor-
tunities.
The School News" is filled with brief
articles of interest to teachers, parents
and citizens generally, and shows very
active editorship under the direction OF
the State Board.
With other official publicity Of the
State Board Of Education, the School
News" is published by the Clearing House
of the Delaware State Program in the
Church Building. The Clearing House
was organized to demonstrate the value
of adequate publicity and information
on the work of five State departments
covering government, health, roads, edu-
cation, and child welfare.
The editor-in-chief of the "School
News" is Miss Charlotte c. Mahaffy,
daughter of William G. Mahaffy, Clerk
of the United States Court. Miss Mahaf-
fy is a Wellesley graduate. and is well
known TO Wilmington as the chief pro-
moter of community gardens during the
war. At Miss MAhaffy's Office in the
Church Building, calls from CITY gardeners
are already frequent. Interest in gardens
for next year Is not danpened by billiards..
In fact, men who work-out-of doors and
have therefore been in enforced idleness
for the past few DAYS have begun to
dream of onions and peas.
Copies of the School News may be
secured from the State Board of Education
or from the Delaware State Program In
the Church Building.

STORMS DAMAGE
! IN SUSSEX COUNTY
REPORTED HEAVY
It Appeared to Reach All Sections,
but Was Most Severe on
East Side.
REHOBOTH is RECOVERING

Damage aggrcgating thousands Of dol
lars has been done to shipping OFT the
Atlantic coast which skirts Delaware,
communication with other sections of the
country has been crippled because of wire
lines being down, electric light service in
several OF the Sussex county towns has
been almost eliminated as result of the
blizzard this week According to reports
from Rehoboth Beach, the storm was the
worst experienced there since 1883.
The waters of the Broadkiln river arc
swollen, and business houses in Milton,
through which town the river passes are
standing in four and five inches of water
all along the river front.
The damage at Broadkiln Beach, where
several cottages are located, has been
slight and the same reports are being re-
ceived from Prime Hook, Slaughter and
Cedar beaches.
There has been a break In Bacon's
and il has washed out, while the dam at
TO break.
Thursday night heavy hail storm
swept the central and eastern sections OF
Sussex county and covered the ground To
a dcpth of about two inches. The haii
was accompanied by enough ram to make
il stick together and form n crust as we'll
as to cling to the trees.
Attendants In several OF the public
buildings in Sussex county were kept
busy for two DAYS because the wind drove
the rain into the buildings. Water which
found its way through the cupola OF the
Sussex county court house, at George
town. caused most of the ceiling IN the
office formerly used by the County Board
of Assessment TO fall off, and In order to
protect the records in tho office of the re-
,.orcer of deeds. Wednesday night, and
carly Thursday morning, IT was necessary
for two men TO be stationed with buckets
10 catch the water as IT worked ITS way
through the upper floors of the building.
Traffic in the rural sections of Sussex
was demoralized and the roads, because
of the large volume of water that had
fallen since Tuesday night, became spongy
and caused automobiles to got stuck.
MUCH WATER At LEwEs.
In Iewes, looking from Front street
over towards the beach, one would inn
agine that the Lewes Canal extended TO
the beach front, as the marsh was covered
with water, even the cement pavement,
which leads to the beach, being about two
and one half feet under water. The rail-
road was also covered, making the pas
sage to the beach almost impossible.
The pavilion which was erected by the
Town Council last summer on the beach
IS lying fiat since the storm and If the
town doesn't restore it, il will be greatly
missed by the summer visitors, as this
was the only place of its kind where
visitors could go and spend the day with
out interfering with the cottagers.

MATTERS INTERESTING NEW LONDON

B.. Frank Morgan, and Harry C.. Chappell, respectively. were active in their efforts a. year or more ago 10 bounce John l.. Cavanaugh from the police force, the main cause being for his failure to report a street light not | burning on his beat. and his general | stand for his rights as guardian of the peace. They did succeed in get vote through the council to suS- pend Cavanaugh from duty without pay for a month. Cavanaugh then re- turned 'te duty and continued to per- form it faithfully and showed no signs of sulk by reason of the punishment dealt out to him. The mayor is satis- fled that Cavanaugh has made good and has so publicly stated. The may or at the council meeting attempted to do the amende honorable and give to Cavanaugh what would have been his, but for the persecution he was previously subjected to. The time had arrived to elect sergeant of the police force to succeed Charles P. Hammond who was denoted to pa trolman. The candidates were Acting Sergeant Grady and Cavanaugh. With the mayor voting, which is his right, although disputed by Alderman Chap pell, each candidate had nine votes, some alderman voting for Patrolman TdIIlCh MuIpuyS WHO WAS IlUI d Cdll- didate. Three ballots were taken without election. Then the mayor declared that. he would appoint Cav anaugh sergeant, as he was the most deserving and the most competent man for the place. The alderman claimed that the mayor had exceeded his authority, and the latter then held the appointment in abeyance. This matter is to be discussed by the po- lice committee, two of the three
 members being in favor of Grady. AL | derman Chappell on deliberation states that while the mayor have the right to vote he establishes a bad precedent in so doing. It is not up to Mayor Morgan to establish that pre- | cedent. as it was established away
 back in the days when the late
 Charles Augustus Williams was may
 or and has been the practice ever
 since, though. perhaps, some of the
 mayors did not care to vote on all
 matters upon which vote was talk
 en. Hats off to the mayor He must
 be wise man for it has been said
 that wise men are liable to make
 mistakes. and are ready to make cor | rection.

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness. or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises, will be glad to know that this distressing af- niction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medi- cine that in many instances mas effected complete relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of-a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore. if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises CT catarrh- al deafness cut out this formula and hand it 10 them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The pre- scription can be prepared at home and is r7ade as follows:
