MANY MOTHERS DIE
IN CHILDBIRTH

More death occurred among women
between 20 and 40 years of age last
year from puerperal causes tchild-
birth) than from any other one cause
except tuberculosis, according to sta
tistics just compiled by the State
board of Health. The total number OF
deaths from this cause was As, or one
death of a mother for every 107 chill
dren born. In Kent county, where the
death rate from this cause was the
highest, there was one death of mo-
ther for every 76 children born.
The number of deaths from this
cause in Delaware has gradually in
creased from 27 in 1916 to As in 1920,
the number last year being within
one of the high record caused by the
influenza epidemic in 1918. The ratio
is considerably higher than for the
country as a whole, and according to
officials of the State Board of Health
there must be some plan worked out
to stop this unnecessary sacrifice Of
life. In other communities much has
been accomplished by a thorough fol-
low-up system whereby prospective
mothers are induced to place them
selves under the direction of a physi-
clan. This work cannot be undertaken
without an adequate staff of public
health nurses.

FARMERS ASSOCIATION MEETS

At the annual meeting of the PENN
sula Tomato Growers Association al
Seaford last Friday Brook L. Ross
Seaford, was elected president; J. H
Carter, Centerville, Md, vice presi-
dent; Isaacs o. Taylor, Hurlock, Nd
secretary and treasurer.
1t was decided to change the name
to the Peninsula Growers Exchange,
the point being made that the associ-
alton was interested in many other
crops besides tomatoes, in fact, every
thing that is grown by the farmers on
this Peninsula.
The tomato question was discussed
at length, and from the discussion it
was seen that the farmers will not
grow many tomatoes this year, the
reasons being that they are not will
ing to grow this crop after their eX-
periences with the 1920 crop, and that
the Gamers are not ready to discuss
the matter with the growers. The
growing of English peas will also be
curtailed. They are not willing to sow
peas at three cents per pound, which
is the price the Gamers are offering.
The farmers pointed out while there
is some reduction in the prices of fer
tilizer, it has not reached that figure
whereby they can use it extensively in
growing crops for canning purposes.

CAPE MAY-LEWES
FERRY APPROVED
GOVERNOR EDWARDS OF new JERSEY
SIGNS BILL AUTHORIZING PLAN TO
CONNECT MOTOR ROUTES.
N. ]. HIGHWAY COMMISSION
HAS BEEN DIRECTED TO CONFER WITH
DELAWARE AUTHORITIES ON TER
MINAL in THIS STATE.

A ferry from Cape May to Lewes,
Delaware, connecting southern auto
mobile routes with the New Jersey
highway system, was authorized Mon
day night when Governor Edwards
signed the bill providing steps for its
establishment.
In afixing his signature the COVER
nor made the following statement:
81 am assured that this measure,
when put into practical execution,
will benefit our entire Atlantic coast
front by making very material re-
duction in the distance between all
shore points and Washington, estimat-
ed at not less than go or rs miles.
For this reason, and because of it
being a benefit to the entire state, in
stead of Cape May county alone, and
having passed both houses unani-
mously, the bill meets my approval" ="
The ferry has been urged for several
years by New Jersey residents, and
was the subject recently of special
study by engineers of the State High
way Commission. The boats would
ply over a twelVe-mile stretch on the
Delaware Bay between the two cities.
1t was introduced at this session by
Assemblyman Andrew Boswell, of
Ocean City, and passed both houses
without difficulty. Funds for main
tenance are to be paid out of the High
way. Commissions appropriation.
"This is one of the best measures
ever offered for New Jersey" said J.
E. Taylor, of Cape May.
"By connecting our highway sys-
tenn with that of the south it opens
the way to motorists to come north
by a splendid route and does away
with the necessity of the long detour
to avoid the bay.
Motorists from Washington or
Baltimore may come over a number
of Southern highways, and reach our
system which leads north along the
New Jersey coast, connecting with all
the widely-known summer resorts.
Members of the New Jersey High
way Commission are directed to con-
fer with Delaware authorities on
plans for the ferry. A measure has
been introduced in the Delaware Leg
islature to build the Lewes terminal.

FISHERIES co. CASE
GIVEN TO CHANCELLOR
CLOSING ARGUMENTS MADE BY EXTEN-
SIVE ARRAY OF COUNSEL AT DOVER
LAST MONDAY AFTERNOON.
EARLY DECISION UNLIKELY
CASE GREW OUT OF ALLEGATIONS MADE
BY JOSEPH l. CAHALL, RECEIVER
OF LEWES FISHERIES co.

Argument in the Lewes Fisheries
suit was concluded in the County
Court House at Dover last Tuesday af-
ternoon and the case taken under ad-
visement by Chancellor Curtis. 1t is
unlikely decision will be given for
some time, as the mass of testimony

closely typewriter pages.
In addition to the testimony ex-
tensive briefs were filed by counsel
and another brief is to be prepared
and submitted this week by former
Attorney-General Reinhardt, of cOun-
sci for defense. This particular brief
an unendorsed note is or is not per
sonal property"
The case grows out of allegations
made by Joseph L. Cahall, receiver OF
the Lewes Fisheries Company, charg-
ing illegal payments of money and is
sue of stock by certain directors of
the company to themselves for ser
vices. Mr.. Cahall also alleges mani
pulation in the sale of steamers and
plant of the company. The defendants
are William C. Dorland, James 7.
Lank, Harland M. Joseph, William F.
Tunnel, William II. BOokhammer,
John R. Baylis and William J. ThOmp-
son, directors of the company, and
Robert Pennington and the Lewes
Oil and Chemical Company. An ac-
counting an drefund to the fisheries
company is sought by the receiver,
who is represented by Henry Ridgely
and George M. Fisher, Jr., of Dover,
as counsel. The defendants have five
attorneys, former Attorney-General
David J. Reinhardt, Richard S. Rod
ney and George N. Davis, all of Will
mington; Daniel J. Layton and John
M. Richardson, of Georgetown. All

PARENTSBEAT TOTTODEATH
THEY ARE SENTENCED TO SIX YEARS in
The WORKHOUSE.

Changing their plea of not guilty of
murder in the first degree of seven
year-old Frances Crockett, of Syca-
more, on September %, last year, to
that of manslaughter, Fred Stewart
and Minnie Collins, alias Minnie Stew
art, were sentenced in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer at Georgetown on
Tuesday to six years in the New Cas-
tie county workhouse.
The allegations were that the Stew
arts had beaten the child to death,
and the first inkling that she had met
with such cruelty was when Medford
L. Watson, a Seaford undertaken, was
called to bury the child. Stewart said
the child had fallen dead while play
ing. When the undertaken attempted
to prepare the body for burial, the
foster parents objected, saying they
desired her buried just as she was
without the clothing being changed.
Upon being asked to produce a physi-
clans certificate, and failing to COM
ply with the request, the undertaken
notified the coroner who conducted
an inquest. In the meantime the Stew
arts had arranged to bury the body
after refusing to permit the clothing
to be removed. The coroner later
found the body emaciated, because of
lack of proper nourishment. Soon af-
ter the inquest the Stewards were
placed under arrest and since that
time have been confined in the Sus-
sex county Jail, unable to obtain bail.
At the inquest, neighbors testified
that on frequent occasions they heard
the Stewards beating the child.
