TOWNSEND TO ATTEND
GOVERNORS CONFERENCE

Among the eighteen Governors who
have accepted the invitation of Frank
lin K. Lane, to attend a conference
in Washington on March 20 is Cover
nOT jOhu e. townsend, 0f Delaware DD5sisai " al c,
according to an announcement made
Monday.
The program of the conference will
include plans for a nationwide cele-
bration on June IA, Flag day, of a
Neighbors' day, on which the resi-
dents Of all communities will be ask
ed to greet each other as Americans
and friends. The object of the cele-
bration will be to stimulate neighbor-
ly discussion of national and local
problems and to arouse interest in a
program of community organization.
Mr.. Lane said "the assimilation of
the foreign born is one Of the most
important services that community
operations can perform. l believe This
movement to be the most practical
Americanization scheme yet devised
because it proposes not only to teach
the alien the English language and
American history, but also to give
him a share in which he lives. A dem
ocratic organization of neighborhoods
is real Americanism it seems to me"

HOME ECONOMICS
In HIGH SCHOOLS
4O5 PUPILS ARE ENROLLED FOR VOCA-
TIONAL WORK THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF DELAWARE.

Dover, March educational home
economics has been established in
virtually all Of. the high schools in
Delaware this year, the department Of
education announces. Last year there
were five centers only of vocational
homemaking This year there are
twenty-one high schools which are de-
voting a half day to vocational home
economics and related science.
The work of the first semester in
cludes the study of textiles, purchase
of materials. garments construction,
clothing budget and laundering. The
second semester's work includes food
study and cookery, household ac-
counts and marketing.
The schools of Delaware are divid-
ed into so-called district high schools
Of the first and second class, the for
mer having the larger registration, as
they incorporate many surrounding
small schools These schools offer
a four-year high school course. The
second group high schools offer two
and three year courses, and registra-
ton is necessarily small. At the pres
ent time a two year program in home
economics has been established, and
for this year, ii S open to all students
in the high schools, but primarily for
the first and second high school
girls.
Due to lack of adequate school
buildings. with the exception of two
schools. the home economics depart
ments consist of one combination lab
oratory. The laboratories are equip
ped similarly throughout the State, as
all these schools are in rural com
munities. The rooms average about
thirty feet square and are equipped
as nearly as possible on the unit kit
chen basis. The tables may either be
built locally or purchased from manu-
facturers. This year table and stove
space have been afforded for each pu-
pil as well as individual cookery /
equipment and one sewing machine to .

ment is adequate for demonstrations .

The average registration for these
classes in the schools is fourteen pu-
pills. There is a total of 405 pupils

nous new school building program

NO WHTSKEY PERMITS
FOR OUR PHYSICIANS
The GOVERNMENT WON'T ISSUE ANY
BECAUSE DELAWARE STATE KLAIR
LAW PROHIBITS.

Any physician in Delaware who may
desire to obtain liquor for medicinal
purposes as provided for under the
federal prohibition statute but contra
vened by the State or Klair law, is
doomed to disappointment. Instruc-
tions received this week by W. Trux-
ton BOyce, State prohibition director
from John f. Kramer, National Pro-
hibition Director sustains enforce
ment of State statutes when they are
stricter than the federal law. These
instructions read:
Directors should refuse to issue
permits or approve applications where
the act or authority given by the
permit would be in violation of State
laws. Under the law of some States
physicians cannot prescribe intoxica-
ting liquors and in such States direc-
tors should refuse to issue permits to
prescribe.
Several of the States are enforc-
ing State laws which generally pro-
hibit or restrict traffic in liquors. In
such States the director should ap-
prove only that portion of the appli-
cation not in conflict with the State
laws and in forwarding such applica-
tiOns to this office Washington
should clearly indicate by letter to
what extent the State laws are in con-
fict with the purpose for which ap-
plication is made"
Prior to the instructions received
today there was a question whether a
having obtained a permit to
prescribe liquors under the Federal !
statute, could not procure supplies |
from other States not covered by sta
tutes as strict as the Klair act in Del (
aware. Any. such plan, however, now |
goes by the BOARD There no longer |
exists opportunity for Delaware
physicians to apply for a Federal
permit. as it will not be given.

TRUCKS OVERLOADED
ON STATE HIGHWAYS

Recently it has been discovered by
the State Highway Department of
Delaware that a number of five-ton
trucks using the State roads are car
rying loads up to eight and nine tons.
AS this is an infraction of the State
maximum load laws, offenders will
be warned and prosecuted.
For the detection of those overload
ing their trucks, the department will
purchase a set of road scales, which
will be placed along the road. To
overload the truck ins also an in
fraction of the load law allowing so
many pounds per inch per tire. 1t has
been found that two-ton trucks are
also making a practice of carrying
loads up to four and half and five
tons.
The law regulating the weight of
trucks will not allow overlooking
truck on account Of the design Of the
width of the truck wheel being such
that the load per inch per tire will be
exceeded by the overlooking of the
truck.
A recent test by the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, Washington, led to the dis
covery that the heavy load carried by
trucks causes more damage to roads
than any other traffic. The test show
ed that truck travelling Is miles
per hour will multiply its weight six
times in passing over a one-inch var
iation in the road, thus: If the truck
was passing along the road at the
rate stated and ran over a stone one
nch in height, the blow upon the road /
would measure six times the weight
II the truck and load.
Another clause in the new laws reg
Hating loads and speed upon the |
;tate highway is that all commercial
rucks carrying loads, must have a
late stating the weight of the load
laced in some conspicuous place on
he truck Enforcement of these laws
ill start Immediately.
