Elkton to Retain
Court House Yard

The Soldiers Memorial Commit
tee, having consulted expert monu-
ment builders and landscape gard
eners as to the wisdom of taking
down the Court House walled yard
for a site for the monument was
emphatically advised not to ask
for the removal of the yard, but,
by all means, to place the monu-
ment on the yard as it now stands.
Mr.. Hugh Sission, of Hugh
Sisson & Sons, the leading monu-
ment builders Of Maryland, as
sured the Committee that the
Court House yard, as it now exists,
would be an ideal place for the
monument and urged the Commit
tee to preserve it. g..
The Committee, therefore, has
notified the County Commissioners
that it would not ask for the re-
moval of the yard.

planning to allow them to begin,
but will make no further promises
to either audience or quartet. The
agriculture instructors Of the

Delaware Representatives
Approve Harbor Bills

United States Senators WOlcott
and Ball and Congressman Layton
approve of and will do all in their
power to obtain an increased ap-
preparation in Congree on the
Rivers and HarbOrs bill and also
for an increase in the budget allow
ed for promoting domestic and for
elgn commerce.
Letters written to these Della
ware representatives regarding
these measures by the Chamber of
Commerce have resulted in express
siOnS from these gentlemen to that
effect.
The Rivers and HarbOrs bill was
cut to $15,000.000 although the
government engineers had asked
for over sixty million. Senator
Ball writes, however, that there is
an uneXpended balance Of $47,-
100000 to the credit Of the Rivers
and HarborS committee which plus
the $15,000,000 granted this year
would give that body more than
sixty millions to eXpend.
The bill referring to, Domestic
and Foreign Commerce which was
cut in its appropriation has to deal
with aiding concerns who desire to
advance their foreign or home
trade. While ikis not so important
to Delaware as to some other states
the local Chamber of Commerce
wishes to aid in any way possible
for the benefit of the few in this
State to whom it would be Of
service.
Senator Wolcott has prepared
amendment to the Rivers and Har-
bOrs bill which calls for a govern
ment survey Of the coast at Re
hobOth Beach. The Senator wants
the government experts to discover
if possible, the exact reason for
the occasional inundation of cot
tages which apparently are at a
safe distance from the waves.
He called attention to the fact
that on several occasions cottages
have been carried out to sea by an
unexpected inrushing of salt water,
coming in a way that has never
been satisfactorily explained. Pri-
vate engineers have given opinions
as to the cause of these unexpected
inundations, but the Senator is
anxious that the Government make
a thorough examination.
Cottages have several times
been moved back to escape the
waves, but they still seem to roll
on in great volume and when least
expected" Senator Wolcott said,
What I want is for the govern
ment to discover the real cause for
these irritating and expensive visi-
tations.

CENTRALCOLLEGE CAGESTERS BEAT
 PANTHERETTES
Visit ! Quintet Is Easy Win ner C7er the Birmingham
 Southern Co-EdS
By HORACE RENEGAR

With uncanny precision and con sistency, with clock-like regularity, the Crimson middied warriors of Central college swept over the Bir- mingham Southern Pantherettes last night. 24 to 0. The Gold and Black was unable to score point with the Central co-eds, never easing up for minute in their guarding. while their two forwards were proving themselves arsenic on the offense.
 The feature of the game was the pass work of the entire Central quin- tet, coupled with the goal shooting ability of Jewel Planter and Verna Vaughan, who starred on the of- fense. These two girls tossed the baskets at all angles and were able to shake off their guards at many times and then deliberately toss the goal.
 The entire Birmingham Southern team might be praised for its un- abated fight to the end. They fougl.- from the start as a loser, for Cen tral college grabbed the lead in the opening minute and that first minute was enough to win. Occasionally, the Southern co-eds showed q flash on the offense in carrying the ball to their territory. but were unable to locate the basket at the opportune moment.
 From the attack and defense un- leashed Thursday night, the Central : ties should be able to put up a hard fight against any girls team in the state. They have a consistent set ot forwards and a well formed defense.
 The starting lineup last night was
 Birmingham Southern: Anna Ln- Page and Nell Waldrop, forwards: Julia Rainey center; Julia Manar and Camille Reynolds, guards.
 Substitutions: Marjorie Ormand for Nell Waldrop; Miriam Baker for Julia Manar.
 Central college: Jewel Planter and Verna Vaughan, forwards; Bonnie Planter, center. Winnie Mae Rice and Elsie Draper, guards.

 Buff fought back furiously in the ninth, but Moore continued to pile up points with fulisade of rights and lefts. Buff tried desperately to put over finishing punch in the tenth, but Moore danced out of danger and continued to pile in punches as he pleased.
 Both were under weight when they jumped on the scales at D. m. Moore scaled 1161s and Buff 113M. The crowd fell short of expectations, the attendance being about 1000.
