HICKS TO GET
MARKET SPACE
Court Rules Clerk of Mar
ket Must Allot Him
Stand
DECISION BY
JUDGE LYNN

Ruling that the General Assem-
bly, made the rules that govern the
case and that they should be fol-
bwed both by the prosecuting wit
ness, Clerk of the Market Edward
S. McAteer, and by the defendant,
Deputy Judge Lynn, in Municipal
Court this morning, dismissed Ben
jamin w. p. Hicks on two charges
Of occupying spaces in King street
market without a permit.
Judge Lynn upheld the contention
OF William T. Lyman, attorney for
Mr.. Hicks, that, under the act Of
General Assembly, the clerk OF the
market shall issue to an occupant Of
spaces in the market a permit for
a succeeding year upon his applica-
ton, and If he believes that the ap-
plicant is guilty of selling produce
that he does not raise or feed him
self in compliance with the law, he
should have him arrested on a
charge of violating the market laws.
In his decision, Judge Lynn said;
There is no doubt in my mind
that this duty (of the clerk of the
market to grant a space occupants
application for re-allotment of
space) is explicit and plain and that
the defendant. having filed his APP
I,hcation for a re-allotment of his
old space or spaces, that it then be-
came the duty of the clerk Of the
market to perform his duties as set
forth so plainly in the direct words
of the statute, to issue to the defen-
dant his permit or certificate. or else
to bring the proper action against
the defendant as is provided for and
set forth in the penalty clause in
section eight
Il have thoroughly examined the
rules and regulations for the regula-
ton of curbstone markets and find
no Inconsistencies existing between
them and the statute. so far as this
case is concerned"

June Beauty is Natural

June is on the wayl And Juggling
along her wealth Of roses, with in
cidentally, a touch Of tan.
June is the month which should
mark the end Of the indoor manu-
facture Of beauty and the beginning
of the brand made chiefly by sun
and air. Whether you are Is or 40.
in the summer it is wise to dispense
with massage and heavy creams and
give nature her opportunity. For
just as your mind needs change and
diversion. so does your hair and your
skin. Wash your face in cold water
in the morning. Then if you are
going out, shopping or for sport,
dust it lightly with a fine rice pow
der. Don't rub it inl Fluff it on
lightly. For rubbing powder in
continually will soon result in an
oily skin.
When you come home cleanse
your face with a wash cloth damp
ened in moderate water, put on a
very thin layer of cold cream and on
top Of that plenty of sweet smelling
astringent.
And remember that whenever you
want to wash your face with soap
cold cream it first, leaving the cream
on for about FIVE minutes and then
wash it while the cream Is still on

SCARLET FEVER
IS Cases of Disease Found
in Rose Hill and Ham
ilton Park
CLOSE SCHOOL
TO HALT SPREAD

With fifteen cases already reported
a scarlet fever epidemic is reported
among families living in Rose Hill
and Hamilton Park. DR.. Charles A.
Richie OF the State Board of Health,
conducted an investigation yesterday
and today stated that most OF the
patients are suffering from slight at
tacks. No deaths have been re-
ported.
Precautions are now being taken
to retard the spread OF the-disease.
The Rose Hill school and the Rose
Hill school annex have been closed
and families where scarlet fever has
been found have been quarantined.
Doctor Ritchie, when spoken to by
a representative Of The Evening
journal this morning, declared that
from the appearance OF most OF the
cases which he had seen, the disease
has been under full sway for some
time. Some Of the children, through
ignorance or otherwise. OF the pa
rents as 10 what the children we're
suffering from, were allowed to 90 to
school while the fever was in the
disquaminarion stage. he said. This
is when the skin has passed the
eruption period and started to peel.
one reason for this, Doctor Richie
said, is that most Of the cases have
been so slight that the parents might
not have noticed the disease. Most Of
them have not had an attending ply
sician and went TO school while i'll,
he said. Doctor Ritchie declared
that from the appearance Of the
cases he had investigated most OF
them had been suffering from scarlet
fever for ten days. Some are already
getting well without the aid OF med
ical attention. In one family Of ten
children which he visited, the doc
tor found five Of the children suffer-
ing from the fever.
While most of the cases are OF
milder nature and no real serious
ones found DR.. Ritchie said that
some are rather severe and 9TH
ers are developing to this stage. 1t
is 20 prevent any more of the latter
that the schools have been closed.
DR.. Ritchie will conduct another
investigation through the Rose Hill
and Hamilton Park district tomor-
row. 1t is his opinion that there
are a number OF more cases than
those already found.

ASKS AID FOR
EXTENSION WORK
Dean Charles A. McCue
Presents Proposition to
Levy Court
FIVE POINTS
WANTS MONEY

c. A. McCue, dean OF the Agricul-
turc Department, University OF Della
ware, and director Of the expert
mental station. addressed the Levy
Court today relative to the county
appropriating 5000 or less towards
the extension work OF the Univer-
sity. He was accompanied by Frank
p. Yearsley. of the New Castle Coun-
~ Farm Bureau.
Dean McCue explained that the
recent Legislature enacted a law
whereby the counties can appro-
pirate a sum not to exceed $4,000 for
the extension work. He explained
that the sum was to be used for
salaries Of the teachers and work
ers.
The idea. he said, was not a new
one as New York and New Jersey
both appropriated money for the
work as did the government under
the Smith-Lever act
In reply TO questions from Com
missioner Jones as to what was paid
the field man for New Castle county,
Dean McCue said the agen received
$4,000 and expenses which amounted
to $1,000 last year.
President Stetser asked what the
agent did in the winter months.
Dean McCue said the agent received
busy then as in the summer.
The request was referred to the
court as a committee OF the whole.
The Five Points Civics Associa-
tion sent a communication asking
that they be allowed an appropria-
tion for the maintenance of fire
apparatus the same as allowed 9TH
er rural fire companies. The letter
was referred to the court as COM
mittee of the whole.
The error ilst OF Eugene r. Pax
son. tax collector Of st. Georges
Hundred for 1920 was allowed as
follows: County and Poor s177.45;
Road s5S26.S1; Capitation S33.25;
Dog $1250; School s152; Capita
tion S532.
H. c. Mcneil, Of Belvidere, asked
the court TO repair the streets there.
The matter was referred to the COM
missioners Of the district and coun-
ty engineer Grubb.
The error list Of William W.
Leach, OF New Castle. for 1919, was
allowed as follows: School S1134.40;
Capitation sS112; Road Tax S.
S22.93; County and Poor S141.51;
Dog s54 and Capitation s1O1.25.
Following a conference with Re
corder of Deeds Darlington Finn,
the Levy Court Commissioners to-
day adopted a resolution authorizing
him to retain his present Office force
and the arrangements approved by
the court several weeks ago. Tho
Clerks have been working half time

DELAY CERTAIN
in CITY YTAXRATE
Council to Recess Thursday
Night For Week at
Least
YET TO RECEIVE
SCHOOL BUDGET

Although under the law Thursday
night win be the last on which City
Council is supposed to fix the city
tax rate for the ensuing fiscal year.
no action is at all likely. A recess,
in every probability will be taken
until some night next week when
still another recess may be neces-
sary.
The present rate Is s1.75, Of which
so cents is for school purposes.
Budgets giving estimates of antici-
pated receipts and expenditures have
been received by the finance COM
mittee Of Council from all municipal
departments except that sof schools.
The budget will be reported Thurs
day night. AS that will be too late
to give the finance committee oppor-
tunity to go over it, a recess will be
ordered.
The finance committee, of which
Charles Forwood is chairman, has
been burning midnight oil virtually
for a solid week, going over the
figures already submitted. In this
work the committee has been as
sisted by City Solicitor Huxley and
Homer c. Simmons, clerk of Coun-
Gil. Owing to the amounts asked
by the various departments and the
necessity of pairing all expenditures
to the limit because of the condi-
ton Of the city treasury, the work
has been difficult and at times
vexatious.
There has been tank OF an IN
crease in the tax rate of from any
where from $1.75 to s1.90. II is
known that the finance committee is
endeavoring, if possible. to retain
the present rate in the hope that
the increase in the city's income
from new assessments will be suffi-
cient to carry the municipality
through the coming twelvemOnth.
Whether this can be accomplished.
it was learned authoritatively today,
will depend greatly on the figures
turned in by the School Board
Thursday night.
Meanwhile, the city tax collectors
are beginning to fdget- Dhey are al
lowed only 30 days from the last
regular meeting night of Council in
May in which to make up and send
out tax bills. There are something
like $4,000 bills. As each bill re-
quires placing of three different sig
natures, their total number is
equivalent to $4,000.
It is possible, should Council be
obliged to recess for two weeks be-
fore fixing the tax rate, that addi-
tional clerical help shall have to be
employed to issue the bills on time.
