States. Mir. Quezon and the Hon. Ser. gio Osmens, Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives and Vice President of the Council of State, are the leaders of the Nacionalista party, which has been In power since 1907.
 While Speaker Osmena is not so well known in the United States as Quezon, he Is considered one of the ablest men in the islands. Senate President Que zon recently referred to Osmena as "the greatest Filipino since Rizal."
 The personal relations between OS- mena and Quezon are probably without parallel in modern politics. They have been the leading political figures in the islands for 12 years, yet there has never been the slightest indication of rivalry between them. Throughout their college life as well as their long political service each has refused to he candidate for any position that tse other aspred 10.
 During The years Quezon was the Philippine delegate in the American Congress he won the esteem and con fidence of both the Republican and Democratic sides of the chamber. Whenever he spoke he was assured Of good attendance One of the official short hand reporters once declared Quezon used the purest English of any member of the House.
 Osmona, as president of the Nacion. alista party. is the leader of the na. tional movement for independence.

MIDDLETOWN FARMER ROBBED
Charles S. DerricksOn Waylaid At
His Home Late Saturday Night.
Relieved of Gold Watch and $40.

Charles S. Derrickson, aged about
so years, a farmer living one mile
west of Middletown, was the victim
OF brutal assault latt Saturday
evening, Which may result in his
death. The assault was committed at
his farm when a robber cboked.
Knocked him down and relieved him
Oh his gold watch and $40 III money.
Mr.. Derrickson, following his usual
custom, spent the evening in Middle
town with friends until about 10
o'clock. He then went to his home
and had proceeded to the stables, un-
harnessed his horse and pulled the
carriage under a shed. He was then
grabbed by the throat and dealt a
vicious blow with some blunt insti7,-
ment and knocked unconscious. He
remained in that state until his wife
went to the yard adjoining the house
and found him in a semi-conscious
condition and bleeding profusely
from a wound three inches long back
of the right ear, the skull bone being
exposed. Chief of Police Hillyard
was called and went to the scene of
the assault Immediately, and made a
thorough search of the premises. He
could find no trace of the assailant.
Mr.. Derrickson is unable to think
of anyone who would be responsible
for the assault, but he suspects a
mulattO, who weighs about 18O
pounds and has straight hair. Last
Tuesday the man made application
for a job and was engaged. He re-
mained at the farm over one night,
and left after breakfast the morning
following, without making any ex-
PLANTATION for leaving. He was dress
ed in dark suit, and wole a khaki
army overcoat and an army hat.

SMYRNA CITIZENS ASK FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
PRESENT SITE OR COLONYPIAN
GETS AN ENDORSEMENT
State Board of Education Shown Ad-
vantages of This Site Over Clay
ton or Any Midway Selection

A representative delegation of
Smyrna citizens and property owners,
numbering 65 or more, went to Dover
last Thursday, and appeared before
the State Board of Education in the
interest of locating the new Smyrna
Special Consolidated High School
building in Smyrna. The day was
rainy and the weather unpleasant
and that so many turned out showed
an interest that could not help but
make an impression. Had it been a
good day probably more than a hun
dred would have been present. The
request of the Smyrna people for the
location of the new school building in
Smyrna on the site of the present
school adjoining which can be pur-
chased additional land for all build
ings needed under the provisions of
the new School Code, was presented by
Ayers StOckley Esq. who submitted an
able and lengthy brief setting forth
the advantages of locating the build-
ing in Smyrna, rather than in the
country or between Smyrna and
Clayton, as had been advocated by
the Clayton people at a previous
meeting of the Board. Because of the
large number present and the import
ance Of the request. the hearing was
held in the hall of the House of
Representatives Mr.. Stockley said
a petition of two hundred and fifty
property owners has already been
presented to the board, and repre-
sents most Of the property owners in
Smyrna and east of Smyrna. He
then gave in full detail the advan-
tages to be derived in placing the
building in Smyrna, rather than in
rural district OF even halfway he
tween Smyrna andClayton. He pointed
out that from ten to fifteen acres of
land could be secured adjacent TO the
present building, to meet all the re-
quirements for an agricultural, do
mestic science, and other buildings
within the provisions of the Code. 1t
was also pointed out that Smyrna is
in every way fitted to accommodate
such building, and that it would be
better in every way for the children
Al
to come to Smyrna, than go to Clay
ton or halfway location. State
Senator L. NJ Price and B. Hazel,
two of Smyrna's prominent citizens,
also spoke in favor of Smyrna as the
place for the new building. The
board gave the Smyrna people the
assurance of careful consideration of |
all the facts stated.

RAT FURS MAY REACH $500
Walker Warner Annoyed By Wild
Ducks Getting Into His Traps.

Fleming Landing, Jan. 13.-Wild
ducks were never so plentiful as at
the present time. Trappers catch
them everyday in their muskrat
traps. Walker Warner, who traps the
Mckay marsh, has caught % ducks in
his traps. Walker says he wished they
would stay out of his traps for he
prefers to catch rats which are now
worth S4.25 each, and many think
they will be $5 before the season
ends. Some trappers are holding
their whole seasons stock for the top
notch price of the markets. Another
veteran trapper, George C. Fox, who
owns more than two and one-half
miles of marsh land, along the Della
ware River, has over 600 pelts on
hand, and while he was offered $40
for the skins on Thursday, declined
the offer, believing that the market
price would reach $5 before the mid
die of February.

PROPOSE JETTY FOR REHOBOTH
Would, Protect Beach Front of Della
wares Popular Resort.

A prominent engineer of Whining
ton, familiar with conditions at Re
hOboth, says that hooked jetty would
give far more service to that town
than the bulkhead jetty now at that
place. The engineer makes the asser-
tion in view of the several severe
storms which have caused considera-
bic property loss at that place In
1915, a severe storm swept the New
Jersey coast, struck Rehoboth, cut in
to the bluff, badly damaging it; then
swept the street along the ocean
shore, destroying the boardwalk, car
ried away the pier and pavilion; de-
stroyed two or three cottages and ac-
tually carried one out to sea. AS a
result of this storm, all property had
to be moved back from the beach. The
matter of protection was then taken
up by the Commissioners of Rehoboth.
The Haupt Hooked Jetty was looked
into at that time, but on account of
the apparent cost of the plant, it was
not adopted, but a straight bulkhead
of piling was built along the foot of
the bluff and the boardwalk was re-
built to almost its former extent.
The straight bulkhead while intended
to protect further erosion from the
shore did not attempt to rebuild the
beach that had been washed away at
that point. Subsequent storms winter
before last tore down parts of this
bulkhead and made further inroad
into the bluff, carrying away valua-
BILE real estate.

DU POINTS IN DYE INDUSTRY.
Win EndeavOr to See America Con-
troll the World in Production.

troll the World in Production.
One of the most bitterly contested
struggles ever waged for technical and
commercial supremacy is now being
staged between this country and Ger
many for the dominating position in
the dyestuffs industry, and the fact
that the dupont Company is likely to
he the most formidable competitor on
this side of the Atlantic is of interest
to every Delawarean. The dupont
Company entered the field in 1917,
after thorough and exhaustive study
of the whole question. 1t was in 1917
that this company secured the serv-
ices of DR.. Thomas H. Norton, who is
an unique 5 figure among American
chemists. Under the direction of DIR.
Norton, plans were laid to make this
country a real and lasting power in
the color world, determined to enrich
the world with new dyes and new
classes of dyes which would show not
able advances in fastness, brilliance
and economy of costs. There are mil
lions of untested possible combina-
tions of the relatively few derivatives
of less than score of coal tar crude
products. Thus the progress of the
company along these lines has meant
that staff of experiment chemists
must work long and steadily on the
problems. In the main, there are two
classes of chemists engaged, the re-
search. chemists and the analytical
chemists.

DEATH RECORDN OF THE. WEEK.
DIR. Emery Marvel, Native of Kent
County and Widely Known Sur
geOn of Atlantic City, Dies.

Dr. Emery Marvel, widely known
surgeon Of Atlantic City, aged so, a
native of Kent county, and well known
around Smyrna and Dover, where he
had been frequent visitor, expired
last Wednesday, following an opera
ton for kidney trouble at the Laken-
an Hospital, Philadelphia. DR.. Mar
vel had been in poor health for a
year or mole and diagnosed his own
case. He consulted DR.. John B.
Deaver, the celebrated specialist who
performed the operation. Despite his
grip on life, and he was Gin the bar-
ness" until the day he entered the
hospital, his condition was such
the knife could not cure and he
passed peacefully awoy with his
family at his bedside after living
a week from the time the operation
was performed. The death of DR.,
Marvel was a shock to his MANY
friends. DR.. Marvel was a son of the
late EMERY Marvel and was born and
raised on a farm near Dover. Bv
sheer grit and perseverance after
leaving the farm and though his
elmentary, school was limited. he
started and worked and taught school
until he was able to enter Delaware
College. Just previous to this he was
teacher at Walkers School near Smyr-
ma for several years. At Delaware
College applied himself diligently and
in two years was able to enter the med
ical department of the University of
Pennsylvania from which institution
he was graduated with credit to him
self. His ambition then was to make
a success of his profession. He chose
Atlantic City as his place of residence
and after serving as inferno located on
the most prominent residential street
of the seaside resort. Success t.
tended his efforts at the start and in
d few years he became one of the
leading surgeons, not only of Atlan-N
tic City but of the State of New Jer-
sey. Several years ago he purchased
and conducted a sanitarium which
farther increased his popularity. He |
belonged to the well-known Marvel |
family of Delaware. His brother,
DR.. Philip Marvel, is a leading physi- |
clan of Atlantic City. Deceased is
by his widow who was Miss |
Jessie Kimes, of Philadelphia, and |
one daughter, Miss Evalyn Marvel. |
Funeral services were held at St.
James Church, Atlantic City, Satur-
day afternoon, and more than a. thOus-
and people whom his life in one way
DR. another had touched, crowded the
church to pay their last tribute of es-
,eem and respect. Interment was
made at Pleasantville, N. J. Gene

CECILTON LIGHT PLANT BURNS

the Town Was In Total Darkness
The electric light plant at Cecil
ton, Md, was wrecked by fire Friday
night. The blaze started at about
$50 o'clock in the engine room, coal
oil, it is said, having been accidently
ignited through backfre from an en-
gine. AS the fire soon got beyond
the control of the employees and the
town fire fighters, aid was asked
from Middletown and the engine
from that place was sent over. 1t
was not possible to save the light
plant, but the flames were prevent
ed from spreading to adjoining prop
erty. The extent of the loss could
not be definitely estimated, but it is
understood there is some insurance.
There were two engines and two
generators in the building and all of
this equipment is believed to have
been ruined. Several thousand dol
lars will be required to replace it The
town was in total darkness Friday
night, except for the use of impro-
vised lamps. The feeling is that an
effort will be made to obtain electric
connection with either Middletown or
Chesapeake City, Md, until local ar
rangements for light can be made.
