BOULEVARD ROUTE ABOVE
SMYRNA BEING MAPPED OUT
BLACKBIRD WANTS ROAD THRU
TOWN; GIVES RIGHT OF WAY
MlddietOwn and Odessa Delegations
Also Heard-State Highway
Commission Pleased

Members of the State Highway
Commission visited Middletown. Odes.
sa and Blackbird Friday seeking The
views and sentiment of the residents
OF those sections, relative TO arrang-
ing for the State Highway running
either through or close by these
towns. At Blackbird the citizens ask
ed for the road straight through along
lines OF the present State Highway
and offered to give the additional
right of way desired. AS the point
in question was also the straighten-
ing of the road, the suggestion was
made that the highway run 1000 feet
cast of Blackbird. One of the features
OF the meetings in all of the above
towns, which were all largely attend
ed, was the frankness with which the
citizens expressed their opinions.
They told the Highway Commission
crs what they considered would be for
the best interests of the community
and expressed the belief that in what
ever way the commissioners decided
the questions involved, chat that ac-
ton would express the desire of the
commission to do the very best for
the people they could.
The meeting at Middletown which
involved the elimination of a grade
crossing, was one of the most i'm
portant sessions of the day. There
are three railroad grade crossings
which the department hopes to do
away with this year. They are at
State Road, MiddletOwn and Kirk
wood. If these can be arranged, then
there will be but one in this county,
that at Corbitt and plans are under
way to eliminate this one. There
would still be one more left in the
State, the crossing at Greenwood over
he Queen Anne railway which runs
east and west, and eventually it is
lCped through an overhead crossing
o end this menace.
At the Middletown meeting The
questions discussed involved the sug-
,estion that the highway go around
he town in order to avoid the grade
IOssing and the other point was TO
void the main street of the town. 1t
vas suggested that the road be con-
inued on the east side of the railroad
ntil it reaches half mile below Mid
letOwn where an underground cross
ng might be constructed near st.
INNS church and the road would still
e within 1000 feet of the town.
The question arising at The Odessa
leeting involved the Strengthening of
he highway by passing west of the
own.

Not to be outdone by the suffragists
OF Delaware, with their mass meeting

LOCAL TRAPPER REALIZES $4,000
George Fox, of Between Odessa and
TaylOr's Bridge, Gets Big Returns

The many fur trappers in lower
New Castle county, who held their en-
tire stock off urs for higher prices,
realized top-notch prices on Wednes-
day when New York fur buyer paid
as high as $3.50 for muskrat hides
and the prices paid for other furs
were correspondingly as high. One
Blackbird trapper disposed of furs
which netted him $3.50, while a trap
per near the Maryland line realized
over $1,000 for his seasons catch.

SHAD WILL BE A LUXURY
Fishermen Do Not Expect to Catch
Many and Prices Will Be High

Fishermen have been prophesving
that spring would be late, if not the
latest for several years. They declare
that to their knowledge, ice has never
before remained in the Delaware river
as long as it has this year. Shad will
not leave the bay until ice and snow
disappear from the upper river.
The fishermen made but very little
from shad during the past few years
and for this reason many men who
formerly fished have quit the boat and
net for more lucrative employment. A
few believe that shad will be scarce
ana prices high, making a profitable
season. Delaware shad are getting
fewer every year, for which several
reasons are given. One is that not
many young shad are now placed in
the river, while years ago there were
as many as hundred million Matched
out in one season. Another cited IS
That there were so many nets out for
several years that the shad did not
set a chance to reach the upper Del
aware waters to spawn. Further, the
pollution of the river has killed manv
young shad. The price of Delaware
shad this year will be higher .5an
ever before.

HAVE TO AMEND CONSTITUTION
Claim Made That 1t Will Be Neces-
sary if Suffrage Is Ratified

Sary II Suffrage Is Ratified
In view of the fact thatthe ocnsti-
tuition of the State of Delaware re-
stricts voting at State elections TO
men, it is held to be a question
whether the franchise can be fully ex-
tended to women, even if the Legis-
lature, at the coming special session,
ratifies the suffrage amendment to the
Federal constitution. That being the
situation, it has been learned, bill
is to be introduced amending the con-
stitution so as to remove the "male"
restriction. In this behalf the con-
stitution says "every male citizen of
the State of the age of 21 years."
etc, shall have the right tovote. The
hill proposes striking out the word
male. However, as an amendment to
the constitution must be passed by
two consecutive sessions of the Legis-
lature, and by a two-thirds vote of
each house, it is a question whether
women could vote in the meantime ex-
cept for Presidential Electors, Sena-
tors and Congressman. To vote for
State officers, some hold, the State
Constitution would have to specifically
give that permission, which it does
not now do.

SCHOOL CODE TO BE DISCUSSED
State Board of Education 20 Meet at
Dover on Thursday to Consider it
State Fund TO Reduce Faxes

10 leQuce IaXeS
The State Board of Education will
meet at Dover to consider proposed
legislation for larger apportionment
oI State funds for School purposes.
Should the legislature appropriate
SuIhclent money, the school tax rate
loI the next scholastic year would be
reduced to the present level. Tax re-
Guction could be affected by The State
increasing appropriations for elemen-
taly and high schools and assisting in
The payment of transportation to The
extent of rs per cent.
High school tuition is on the larg-
est items in the budget. Should the
State appropriate sufficient money TO
make the annual cost of high school
tuition approximately $50 or $50 per
pupil, 1t would cut in half the amount
to be paid by rural districts for such
tuition.
transportation also is a large item.
Equal opportunity for every child in
the State is principle underlying the
School Code. To give equal oppor-
tunlty transportation of children TO
graded schools is necessary. Trans
portation is easy in towns, but diff
cult in the country. Persons inter
ested in Delaware's educational svs-
tenn say the State should not throw
the whole burden of transportation
OH the local districts. The salaries of
teachers, except high school teachers.
could be increased without changing
the School Code. Suggested appro-
rriations include $2,4OO for first
group high schools and 81 500 for sec
ond group high schools. Transporta-
ton allowances and changes in appro-
pnations for high schools would re-
quire amending of the code.
The State Board of Education will |
propose a method for distributing the
additional funds.

Tigers Look Slow.

Princeton, N. J, Oct 2O.-Coach Roper gave the Princeton Varsity a heavy days work behind closed gates at University Field yesterday after noon. The regulars began with a strenuous session against the scrubs and ended with a hot crimmage against the freshmen. In spite of the endurance powers exhibited by the first string players and their substi- tutcs the Tiger coaches were not en- thusiastic over the showing. The Varsity men appeared sluggish, and while they outplayed all their oppon- cnts, scoring half a dozen touchdowns during the afternoon, they did not fol- low the ball with as much pep and dash as usual.
 The presence Of Captain Callahan in the scrimmage instilled drive into the men, but Roper did not risk him long in the game. Mike retired to the side lines after a dozen plays. Don Lourie also drew rather an carly day and the crack Varsity quarter retired in favor of Johnny German in time to get into his street clothes and spend an interested half hour watching prac- tice from the sidelines.
