SEARCHING FOR VIOLATORS
EVERY PRECAUTION BEING TAKEN TO
PREVENT SMUGGLED LIQUOR BEING
BROUGHT INTO DELAWARE.

With special efforts being made to
protect the Delaware coast and with
agents on some of the vessels down
the bay, Prohibition Director Robert
R. Elliott is taking every precaution
to prevent smuggled liquor being
brought into this State, from craft
on the river or bay.
Prohibition Agent Israel Howard,
who has been in charge of prohibition
enforcement in Delaware, said on
Monday that there is something to the
rurnors- of liquor coming into the Del
aware capes. All the indications point
to this, he explained as he told OF the
DISAPPEARANCE of-200 cases of liquor
from the PocOmoke, recently seized
of Atlantic City.
The prohibition authorities have IN
formation that there were 1,54O cases
on the PocOmOke, and when the craft
was taken into custody, only 1,34O
cases were found. The other 200 cases
are believed to have been brought up
the Delaware, where the POcomoke
appeared before going to Atlantic
City. There is possibility that II
may have transferred to another YES
sci or may have been landed at some
point on the lower Delaware bay
beach, which is unguarded for about
Is miles, as a result of the discon-
tinuance of the coast guard stations
at Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. 1t
is also understood that the Pocomoke
LIQUOR was bound for Philadelphia.
In addition to this, the local Office
has received some complaints of liquor
coming into~the towns in the lower
part Of the State, and the source OF
this supply is believed to be from
some of the craft that have been lurk-
ing about the capes.
The report that two mysterious
schooners without lights were seen
off the Delaware capes and were sup
posed to be booze runners, is branded
as fake by Delaware bay and river
pilots, who say that the vessels were
fishing craft who were having extra
good luck and the shippers had doused
their lights so as not to attract the
attention of other fishermen in the
Gloucester, Mass, fishing fleet.

BROTHERHOOD AT BOWERS

The Brotherhood of the First Bap-
tist Church of Dividing Creek, N. j.,
of which Rev. Thomas c. Davis, once
pastor here, is pastor, had an outing
to Bowers Beach, on Big Thursday. A
large number of the men sailed across
the bay from the creek, distance of
about 80 miles, as the guests of Dea-
con Jacob Pepper, of the firm of Pep
per Brothers, of Bivalve, who are
large oyster planters, and distributors
of the famous Maurice River Coves.
They were aboard the Anna c. Terry,
one of the finest oyster schooners in
the bay. The men Jared finely coming
and going-the day was ideal, and
the eats were of the finest, especial
ly the watermelons and cantalOupes.
Pastor Davis has class of some ff-
ty men, as department Of his work.
Mr.. Davis will take his vacation in
September, and hopes to see some of
his Milford friends on his way South.
Milford chronicle., 1921-08-19

The Delaware Anti-Aircraft Regi-
ment ended it's two weeks period OF
intensive training at Camp Chandler,
near New Castle, on Monday last, at-
fer the finest tour of duty ever en-
ioyed by the Delaware troops. From
their arrival at Camp Chandler until
the last man left the camp the newly
recruited organization was put thru
tbe daily routine work of a regular
army soldier. From young men who
had hardly handled rifles to Well-sea-
sOned soldiers in two weeks seems
hardly creditable; but such seemed TO
be the case. The members of the Sew
enth Company, stationed at Milford
arrived home on the evening tram
Monday night. Their appearance as
they marched from the railroad sta
ton to their armory was excellent,
and brought forth praise from all
sides.
This years encampment was lar
different from any in which the Della
ware state troops had ever taken part.
Methods learned during the World
War. together with those which have
been developed since the close OF hos
tilities were impaired to the boys.
The camp this year was larger than
ever before, and the tentate provided
was greater than ever in the past.
The sanitary conditions were super
ior in every respect than those OF past
camps. The idea that the new troops
were being trained along democratic
lines was impressed upon all visitors.
These visitors were welcomed at all
times.
One of the joyous features OF camp
was paying off at noon on Monday.
This feature was under the supervis-
ion of Colonel Weller E. Slower, OF the
general staff, who is the Federal dis
bursting officer.
Each private soldier who was at
camp at the entire period received
81 a day for his fifteen days tour OF
duty. officers, commissioned and nom
commissioned, and privates were pald
at the same rate of pay as in the reg
ular army. All the money to pay the
soldiers is out of the Federal treas
ury under the Federalized Militia law,
the State not being called on to pro-
vide money for that purpose.
Following the regirnental evening
parade, which was viewed by several
hundred persons, who mOtored to
Camp Chandler late Sunday afternoon,
General Ellison called Colonel H. w.
Stark, regimentaI officers and the
general and Governors staffs in as
sembly- at the general headquarters
and extended his thanks to them for
their hearty cooperation in the sue
cess of the camp.
General Ellison said: but for the
great interest taken by officers and
men alike this first noteworthy pc
riod in the history of our Organiza-
ton would be but a blur on our past
record, but now we can, from the

CONSTABLES HARD 10 GET

The Levy Court Commissioners OF
Sussex County have elected John w.
Ingram, Of Milford, constable for the
First Representative district. Justice
Of the Peace q. V. Henderixson and
Former Clerk of the Peace Mark l..
Davis, of Milford, entered on his bond
and he is on duty.
The First district has been without
an active constable for several weeks,
and the residents in that section have
been anxious for such an official for
some time. The law provided for con-
stable for each of the ten Representa-
tive districts of the county, but nearly
all who were appointed in the early
spring have either resigned or given
little, if any, attention to the Office.
The consequence is that the county
has but two active constables-Char-
les T. Jester of Georgetown and MinOs
B. Hearn of Laurel. Abraham Adams,
of Seaford, who is an active official,
has been in poor health for the past
two weeks and most of the work per-
tanning to- his office has been per-
formed by the Laurel and Georgetown
officials.

PROF. RICH RESIGNS

Professor Mary E. Rich, dean of
women at the University of Delaware
Summer School and connected with
the Women's College since that insti-
tuition was started, has resigned. Pro-
fessor Rich will spend her vacation in
the Catskills and next fall will take
up graduate work in education at
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, New York City.
Professor Rich has been looked on
as one of the most capable members
Of the faculty of the Women's College
and has been closely identified with
the growth of that institution. The
past year she was tield secretary of
education.
Outside of her college work. Profess
sor Rich is also we'll known. She
served one year as chairman of the
arts and crafts committee of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs and has

the same organization for several
years. She is State chairman of Jun
ior Red Cross and a member of the

1910 to last year, according to a pre-
liminary announcement of the Bureau

cent in ten years. Texas led in the
number of farms, with 436,033.

THIS IS THE HAY FEVER SEASON

The hay fever season began on
Monday and lasts until the first frost
of fall, according to the best tradi-
tions, although many unfortunates
start their annual suffering toward
the end Of July.
Besides afflictiDg hundreds of thou
sands annually, hay fever has caused
many hot disputes in the past dec
AIDES, not to mention centuries, among
medical men, among scientists and
many sufferers themselves.
Aside from the hundreds Of differ
ent remedies, home-brewed patented
and prescribed, one or two antitoxins
also have been announced. I3uc the
multitudes have been able to find no
sure or lasting relief, il is reported
by many members OF the Hay Fever
Association of America. 1t is one dis
ease alleged to be more preYlent
among intellectual persons than
among low-brows OF rouSh-necks,
while some scientists have even said
that all hay-fever sufferers are neuro-
tics. incidentally it has several aliases,
some Of the most frequent being nose
cold autumnal catarrh and hay cold.

BUSINESS STOPS no HONOR FOX

An American flag draped at half
mast was displayed en- Monday from
nearly every house in Dover in honor
of Corporal Walter l.. Fox. a Dover
boy whose body arrived from France
sovaial days ago and whose funeral
was held Monday afternoon in Wes-
ley M. E. Church. Fox died of wounds
about a month before the Armistice
was signed. During the funeral every
business house in Dover was closed,
this being at the request of Mayor
Arley B. Magee. Interment was made
in Odd Fellows cemetery, Camden.
Walter L. Fox Post Of Dover, Am
erican Legion, named after the dead
soldier, had charge of the funeral.
Headed by Lieutenant Colonel John P.
LeFevre, a detachment OF The Dover
Company, Delaware National Guard,
left Camp Chandler near New Castle
Monday morning in time to get there
for the funeral. In addition to the Am
erican Legion, National Guard and G.
A. R., a number of other organizations
also attended the funeral which was
one of the largest ever held in Dover.
Before the church services, short
services were held at the home of the
mother of the deceased, Mrs. Clara A.
Fox, on Governors avenue.
