THE FEDERAL PROHIBITION DIRECTOR,
W. 7. B0YCE DECLARES THERE
IS AMPLE AUTHORITY.
ISSUES STATEMENT OF CASE
NEXT TERM OF COURT OF GENERAL SEES
SI0NS OF NEW CASTLE co. WILL
MAKE IMPORTANT RULINGS

/ W. TruxtOn Boyce. Federal Prohibi-
! t.nn Director for DelaHare, has issued
I q statement relative 20 some discus
sion about the right of the authorities
/ to stop and arrest drivers IF Cutamo-
tiles on the Tublic highways Mr.
BOyce explained that the Loose Anti
Shipping Law covers the situation and
I has been of much value to the FEEDER
al authorities in the enforcement Of
I the Federal Prohibition laws.
There has been considerable discus
sion about the right of the authorities
I to stop vehicles on the roads, but the
statement as given out by the prOhib.
ition directors. shows that the local
authorities are complying with the
law in every respect and that they
have competent authority.
Section IL of the act follows: when
ever the sheriff of any of the counties
of this State where the sale of liquors
is prohibited by law wholly or in part
or one Of his deputies, or one of the
cOnStables in any of said counties
shall have reasonable cause to believe
that any person is handling, carrying
or bringing into such territory where
the sale of liquor is prohibited. spir
ituOuS liquors, in quantity exceeding
one quart or malt liquors in quantity
exceeding twelve pint bottles for any
purpose whatsoever contrary to the
provisions Of the act, it shall be the
duty of said sheriff, deputy sheriff or
constable to arrest such person, which
arrest may be made without warrant,
if the Offense is committed in the
presence Of such officer, and seize his
baggage, and also seize his conveyance,
if the person so arrested is travelling
by conveyance. and the conveyance so
seized shall be subject to the further
order of the court of competent juris-
dictiOn and take from him before some
justice of the peace in and for such
county, and if the arrest was without
warrant to make him the charge of vi
olating the provisions of this act"
Mr.. BOyce explained that it is on
account Of this law that whenever op-
eratives from his Office are at work ON
the highways they are always accom-
panied by county cOnstables.
The Loose law is subject of much
controversy in Wilmington as to whe-
ther it is applicable to that city, which
did not become dry by an act Of its
own, but which became dry" terri
tory with the Federal Prohibition act
A great number of the arrests that
have been made already and will be
heard at the next term of the Court
Of General Sessions will hinge for
their decision upon the ruling of the
court as to the proper Interpretation
Of the act, in that particular section
where the sale of liquors is prohibit
ed by law wholly or in part. !"
? The Fisher case is probably one of 1
he most important on the court list .
md is one that will be watched with
much interest by hundreds Of people

MANY ACCIDENTS ON
INDEPENDENCE DAY
FOURTH OF JULY is A FRUITFUL TINE
FOR MISHAPS; GUARDINGi
AGAINST TETANUS.
SOME PREVENTIVE MEASURES
STATE HEALTH OFFICER WELLS MAKS A
FEW PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS
AND DIRECTIONS

The germs which cause lockjaw are
almost universal in dirt, hence the
danger from a cut or wound when the
skin is soiled or when the wounding
object such as a rusty nail, is dirty.
Punctured or lacerated wounds are
much more dangerous than clean cut
or superficial wounds. If a sufficient
number of tetanus germs are intro
duced into the wound lockjaw will de-
velOp I'm from one to two weeks, unless
tetanus antitoxin is used.
Wounds produced by blank cartrid-
yes are especially liable TO develop
tetanus, hence the large number of
toiGnus cases developing as a resuls of
Fourth of July celebrations.
Realizing that in spite of every thing
that can be done q provide a "Safe
and Sane Fourth. there will still he

Health has offered 10 provide the pre-
venrWe cntitoXin free to all hospitals
and physicians for pSe in cases where
the patient cannot afford the treat
ment. and The boarl recommends the
liberal use Of this preventative in all
cases iG which thscA IS the least suS-
piciOn that lOckjaw may develop.

INDUSTRIAL LET-UP MAY
END SCARCITY OF HOUSES

Despite the assertion that large
number Of people would be left home
less on June 25th in Wilmington. the
official moving day in New Castle
County, it is now believed that such
will on account Of the temporary dull
ness in many local plants, some peo-
pie have left Wilmington and there
appears to have been a slight let-up in
the demand for real estate. II is still
impossible to rent a house. There has
also been a falling off in the sale Of
real estate and the high prices which
have been prevailing are expected to
drop. Some have already shown a
slight decline.

stop emigration Of Japanese TO the
United States and in return for that
concession Will expect the United
States in dealing with the land sit

is no discrimination made between
the Japanese and other aliens. So
far there has been no intimation at
