Limitations Of Novelty.

HAS
BUDGET SYSTEM

Washington, D. c., June 26.-Though
the national budget bill was vetoed
by president Wilson at the last
session a budget system will really be
In force during the next session OF
congress The budget bill that was
vetoed placed the responsibility for
an economic and coordinated budget
on the president. but this was the
first step as devised by the special
congressional committee The second
step was taken independently by con-
gress itself in changing its own com
mlttee organizations. One central
committee on appropriations, as now
provided. really creates a budget sys-
TEN as far as congress is concerned
The action OF congress in creating
one big, or ather two. appropriation
committees with direct charge o. all
appropriations IS a distinct step IN the
direction Of budget reform. This
does not. Of course. depend in any way
on executive approval at the white
house. but president Wilson Is be-
lieved to be heartily IN sympathy with
he new congressional method Of max
ing appropriations
This single enlarged committee can
now put through appropriations no
matter In what form the annual es-
Inmates come TO congress from the
various government departments
The vetoed budget bill provided for
a director general Of the budget, but
as a matter Of fact the secretary Of
the treasury is supposed now 70 do
Just what the director general would
have done. Heretofore the secretary
Of the treasury has been IN the habit
Of sending en- masse to congress all
estimates submitted 10 him from all
the departments and from every bu-
reau. Under the new dispensation the
secretary Of the treasury will be eX-
pected. beginning with the next es-
Inmates carefully to prune all esti-
mates submitted TO him from the vari-
Gus departments. and then send the
estimates to congress

Revenue Collector
lnterprets Volstead Act

Deputy Collector Graham recently
gave the following version of the Vol
stead act: ''The law provides that
liquor may be kept anywhere until
January II, the date when the nat
ional amendment goes into effect. At
ter that the only place in which it may
be legally kept is in mans own
home. But the perio> cetween Janu-
ary II and February l has been fixed
as period during which this moving
must be accomplished. There will be
no seizing Of liquor before the latter
date, but the law is very clear in say
ing that after February I it may not
Oe legally kept anywhere except in ii
mans own home"
But after the dry spell begirs
everything which involves moving
liquor from a mans dwelling will be
considered violation of the law. The
law states that liquor may be kept by
priv te individuals only in their dwell
lings for their own noncommercial use
and forbids its transportation.
1t will be unlawful for you to carry
liquor i'll your hip pocket. That woul !
be transporting it, even if you carried
it only for your own refreshment
along the way.

Many Mentioned For
Vacant E Episcopacy

The approach of the convention OF
the Episcopal Church of the Diocese
of Delaware is developing consider
able gossip relative to successor to
Bishop Frederick j. Kinsman. The
convention will be held when a new
diocesan head will be elected.
The movement on behalf of Rev.
Nathaniel S. Thomas, missionary bis
hop of Wyoming is said to be gaining
headway. 1t will be remembered that
Rev. Thomas name was conspicuously
before the convention. which named
DR.. Kinsman, and the latter's choice
was the result of compromise. An
effort is said to be well fortified to line
the Wilmington and rural New Castle
delegates up behind Bishop Thomas.
Sentiment in the duwn-state towns is
more or less in doubt, it was stated.
Rev. Philip Cook, of st. MfchaePs
and All Angels Church, Baltimore,
and also Rev. Arthur Kinsolving, of
st. PauPs, Baltimore, have their sup
pol ters for the diocesan race. The
name of Bishop Garland, of Philadel-
phia, and also that of Rev. E. M. JEFF
fries, of st. Peters Church, Philadel-
phia, are being mentioned among thu
rest: Following recent address here
Rev. Bernard l. Bell, president of St.
Stephens College, Annandale, N. Y,
found himself being talked about as e..
likely successor to Bishop Kinsman.
He is brilliant orator.

".Jav Walker Gives
Demonstration Monday

Mr.. "Jay Walker" clad in con-
spicuous garb and placarded for
identification demonstrated to the
school children, the college stud
ents and the townsfolk who were
on the streets Monday, the right
and the wrong way to cross the
streets.
In the morning he visited the
different rooms at the public
schools and gave chalk talks con-
cerning the safety first" move
ment with particular reference to
the proper method of crossing
traffic blocked streets. At noon he
gave demonstrations of 'jay walk
ing" at the Opera House corner,
showing the hair breadth escapes
to which such a practice leads.
One of the most spectacular feats
performed was that of permitting
Stiltz moving van to go over his
PROSTATE body when escape was
impossible.
The following verses, he says,
express his sentiments exactly:
Don't Be Jay
When the traffic waves are tossing,
Always, always cross the crossing
Do not B. A. ]. and let a motor
knock you on your ear
And before you quit the sidewalk,
And athwart the traffic tide walk,
Look around you to be certain that
the way to cross is clear.
Yes, the crossings are much safer,
Let the traffic cop make way for
you to make your way unmang-
led and you've nothing then
to dread.
SO remember. Take no chances!
Or you'll find that circumstances
May require you to be listed.

FARM BUREAU
EXTENDS MEMBER
SHIP CONTEST
Southern Team Preparing To
Hold Dinner For Losers

Approximately 500 farm bureau
members were reported at the
monthly meeting of the Executive
Committee of the New Castle
County Farm Bureau held last
Saturday in the Security Trust &
Safe Deposit Building at Whining
ton. The community committee
chairmen were present at the meet
ing and definite plans were laid
through which the Committee is
confident the goal of 500 members
for 1920 will be attained. AS the
farm bureau is working on S670
budget, it is imperative that the
membership goal be some where
near reached in order that the
work for 1920 may not be curtail-
ed.
Although the date at which the
membership campaign was to ter
inmate is past yet the Executive
Committee considered it wise to
extend the period until January 81,
at which time all reports must be
in and the campaign will definitely
close.
The bull calf given by Mr.. J. |.
~Dayett to the person who secured
the largest number of members
was awarded to Mr.. Philip Pierson
of Hockessin who secured 43 mem
bers prior to December II. The
northern membership team forged
slightly ahead of their rivals be-
low the canal during the member
ship campaign. The southern
team, true to the agreement, is
preparing to hold a dinner Tor the
team of the north.
A very important feature of the
meeting was the discussion and
formulation of palms and policies
relative to carrying out the new
program of work.

TRUCK DRIVER
HELD in 5000 BAIL
FOR COURT
Only Small Part of Cargo
Valued At $65,0OO 1t
Involved

Harry O'Neill, driver of whisk-
ey truck, whowas arrested here last
Saturday evening by Officer APPS
ley was given a hearing on Mon
day evening before Magistrate
Harry |. Gillis and held under
5000 bail for the Court of General
Sessions. The valuable load of
wet goods" whose safety while
IN storage was a cause of much
concern to the Wilmington auth
critics, was it is understood, re-
leased yesterday and permitted to
proceed to the consignee, John
Friedrich bother, Philadelphia.
The charges involved only four
quarts of the valuable load, given
by the driver to the officials max
ing the arrest. This act made the
driver liable for transporting
liquor into dry territory and for
having in his possession more
than the minimum permitted by
law. O'Neill was found guilty of
both charges and held for court.
The remained of the stock was
not involved since the cargo was
being transported according to the
interstate commerce laws which
prohibits state authority from in
terfering with the shipment.
The case was the occasion for
a spirited legal battle concerning
the Loose law and its technical
meaning and the arrest was the
cause of many wordy battles in the
local Sahara.
According to Officer Apsley's
statement the driver aroused his
suspicious on Saturday evening by
his whispering to colored man.
He approached O'Neil and asked
what cargo he was carrying. He
replied merchandise" and was re-
luctant to state what kind of mer-
chandise.
In answer to direct question
he admitted having whiskey where
upon Mr.. Apsley after consulta-
ton with Wilmington authorities
placed him under arrest. Lack of
storage facilities made it inadvis-
able to hold O'Neill in Newark
and he was turned over to the
Wilmington authorities. Four
quarts given to the officers con-
stituted the basis of the charges.
Officer Apsley was present at the
trial on Monday. The Fast Motors
Transportation Company for whom
O'Neill was chauffeur was repre-
sented by Robert H. Richards and
Alex Mcintosh. P. Warren Green,
deputy encouragement represent
ed the State.
