URGE CONGRESS TO
GIVE GAME SHELTERS

At the first fall meeting of the
Society OF Natural History Of Della
ware held last evening in Science
Hall. the society adopted a resolu-
ton embodying Senate Bill 1452,
which provides for the establishing
OF game shelters. Mrs. Frank Nor
ton Jones. secretary OF the society
was instructed 10 urge the Delaware
delegation in Congress TO vote for
the bill. Many reports we're made
on the societies herbarium. which
now number more than 10000 speci-
mems.
Mr. Candy told OF visit TO the
Asa Gray Herbarium. at Harvard

OF mounting specimens at this ioca--
tion. Charles A. Hagner. Jr.. re-
ported the finding OF butterfly,

added that measures were being
taken to prevent the structure from
being overloaded.
One OF the greatest difficulties in
safeguarding bridge spans, as En-
gineer Grubb pointed out, Is the
growing bulk of motor vehicle traf-
fic, especially large trucks carrying
tons of freight. Maintenance OF
bridges to keep up with the motor
truck business presents a pressing
problem.
Although bridges in the county
have been surveyed from time to
time, never before have they been
so completely tested as in the sur
vey just made, and which required
four months OF field work. Each
bridge has been given a distinctive
number. These numbers have beer
placed on a large map Of the county
Then complete description of the
bridges their length. clear span,
abutments. bearing on walls, string
ers and flooring is made. Following
this a careful inspection is made OF
the needs OF the structure. From
the data obtained the engineer Of
fee staff is able to work out the
safe load"
II Is Mr.. Grubb's plan to place
signboards on every bridge. giving
its official number and telling safe
load capacity. Thus drivers may
know exactly how much each bridge
will withstand.
In addition to obtaining the data
concerning the bridges small photo
graphs have been made. These pho
tographs are pasted on the backs OF
index cards. Thus at any time the
engineers office may check up on
any OF the bridges, learn in few
minutes its condition and needs and
get a picture OF it and its type and
location.
Carrying out his idea for keeping
accurate tab on the spans, Mr..
Grubb is now having lists prepared
for the Levy Court showing the
needs OF bridges. Thus the name
and number OF bridge is given and
opposite to II is placed certain let
ters indicating the seriousness OF its
needs. The letters "AA" mean the
needs are immediate and pressing.
The single letter "A" means that re-
pairs are necessary but may wait a
short time. The letters 'B and C'
indicate that the bridge is in good
condition and its needs may be con-
sdered at a later date.
BY means OF these lists the Levy
Court will be in a position to know
just when and where the county
bridge needs are the greatest.

EXPELLED GIRL
SUES COLLEGE
Margery Barker, Accused Of
Theft, Says She Was Not
Allowed Defense
HER GOOD NAME
PRECIOUS, SHE SAYS

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Sept. Ia
That her own name is as sacred as
that OF Bryn Mawr College is the
contention of legal proceedings filed
by young woman dismissed from
that institution last spring. Miss
Margery c. Barker, of Michigan City.
Ind, was dismissed on a charge Of
stealing sums OF money totaling $50.
Miss Barker alleges that she aided
the college in keeping the entire pro-
ceedings secret In order to protect
the name OF the school and then was
not allowed an opportunity to call
witnesses on her behalf or question
those whose complained against her.
The girls attorneys characterize the
action as unreasonable, excessive.
arbitrary and destructive of all mu-
tuality between petitioner and de-
PENDANTS"
In Montgomery county courts Miss
Barker asks a writ of mandamus
which would reinstate her in good
standing and make possible her re-
turn to college.
The girls first denial OF the al
legged thefts was answered in the
court some time ago by Thomas
Raeburn White, attorney for the
college, and last week Miss Barker.
through Isaac Pennypacker. local
attorney, came back with another
denial.
mo opportunity was ever afford
ed Miss Barker" states the reply TO
the college authorities. ito call wit
nesses on her own behalf. or con-
front or question other persons who
made complaints against her. The
petitioner believes and AYERS that
the action OF the defendants was
based on recommendations made by
the Students Association for Self
Government. The students officers,
in utter disregard for the petitioners
good name and reputation, circulat-
ed among the students the state
ment and rumor that the petitioner
was charged by officers of the coll
/ lege with thefts of sums of money"
The statement goes on to assert
that at a meeting Of the student body
NJ. Carey Thomas. president, since
resigned. declared that no charge OF
any kind had been or would be made
against Miss Barker. and that she
would be glad to see any of the girls
friends to remove any misunder-
standing which might have arisen
Miss Barker's room in Pembroke
Hall. the document further explains
was freely accessible to any and all
persons within or without the col
lege. and the thefts could have beer
committed by any number of per.
sons.
The elimination OF the series o,
money disappearances that brough
disgrace upon Miss Barker came with
the discovery in her possession OF &
marked So bill, stolen from a purs,
in the drawer OF the head proctor.
room. Miss Barker, however, in.
sisted that she received the bill ir
change for a cab fare. College au-
thorities also asserted that she was
discovered in another girls room
rummaging through a desk drawer
but this she answered by saying thai
she was replying to a note from tina
girl and had looked in the drawer
for a pencil.
According to Miss Barker's attor
neys. the girl is quiet and wei
dressed, Of good family. and said t
be wealthy in her own right. and no
at all the type that would stoop L
petty thievery.
