TO SAVE BEACH AT REHOBOTH
State Commission To Begin Work of
Building Jetty Out Into the Ocean

State Commission To Begin Work of
Building Jetty Out Into the Ocean
Erecting jetties of rock out into the
ocean from the beach in several places
along the shore which will divert the
ocean currents, so that it will throw
back the sand it has been taking away
from the beach for ten years is the
method decided upon by the State
Commission, meeting at Rehoboth.
Ten years ago the beach was 300 yards
further out than it is now. Some time
ago large wreck was washed on
shore and at once the beach on each
side of it began to make out. 1t is
this idea that the State Commission is
using and which, with large appro-
priation from the State, will be used
this year in an effort to bring back to
Rehoboth Beach the sand torn away
from it by winter storms in recent
years. Work will begin in few days
under the supervision of prominent
engineer.

TO RECRUIT GUARD IN SMYRNA
If Sufficient Number of Young Men
Take Advantage of Opportunity to
Enlist in Anti-Air Craft Regiment

The young men of Smyrna will now
have an opportunity to enlist in Della
wares Anti-Air Craft Regiment.
Heretofore they have not been able TO
join and attend drills in Dover without
serious inconvenience to themselves,
since they would have to furnish their
own transportation. Now that the
Delaware troops are motorized, Ma
Jor LeFevre, of Dover, who has been
commissioned Battalion Commander
IN the National Guard, plans to have
trucks carry the men from outside of
Dover back and forth for drill one
evening a week. The trucks assigned
to Delaware by the U. S. Army have
arrived in Wilmington, and the Adiu-
tant General expects to have them dis
tributed in the near future. In addi-
tiOn to the company commanded by
Capt. Robert Simmons, two more Ma
tional Guard units are to be recruited
Immediately in Dover and neighboring
towns with headquarters in Dover.
The proposed units are a Battalion
Headquarters, consisting of one officer
and sixteen enlisted men, and a Sec
tion of Regimental Headquarters,
comprising one officer and fifteen en-
listed men. Both organizations will
have plenty of transportation, Batta-
lion Headquarters, for instance will be
assigned one five-passenger car, two
motorcycles with sidecars and two
trucks. Capt. Simmons company has
almost reached its full strength, and
has been passed by the inspecting Off
Ger of the U. S. Army. The uniforms,
transportation and arms for the COM
pany have arrived in Wilmington, and
are now being distributed by the Ad-
jutant General. Anyone desiring fur
ther information as to enlistment
should apply at the Office of Major Le-
Fevre on the Dover Green, Dover, or
to Edward Prettyman, State Highway
Department, Dover.

DOVER PUPILS MAKE $1sOS
Students of High School
Make Biggest Record


Students of the agricultural depart
ment of Dover High School made a
net profit of $1808 on the various farm
projects undertaken by them during
1920. Professor L. G. Armstrong,
State Supervisor of agriculture, who
announced the result, says it is the
largest amount thus far recorded in
the entire state. Thirteen students
carried on the work, under the direc-
tion of Professor Millard Fitzgerald,
inspector of agriculture there. The
projects included garden work on
small plots, and hog, sheep, cattle and
poultry raising. A complete record
of the operations was maintained by
the students. All costs and selling
prices were carefully noted. The stu
dents worked during the vacation per-
iod and the scene of their labors was
visited regularly each week by Prof.
Fitzgerald. The students who parti-
citpated in the work werer A. Vaughn,

JOSIAH MARVEL RE-APPOINTED
Accepts Position on Highway Board
ConditiOnaIly to Aid Completion Work

COnditionaIly to Aid Completion Work
Governor Denney Friday notified
Josiah Marvel that he had reappointed
him a State Highway Commissioner
for term of eight years. Mr.. Mar
vel has accepted the reappointment,
with the understanding that if at any
time, for business reasons, he may do
so with the full consent of the COVER
nor. Mr.. Marvel helped draw the
highway measure and has always TAX
en- a very deep interest in the high
way work. When Governor Denney
asked him some time ago to accept a
reappointment Mr.. Marvel declined,
because of pressure of private busi-
ness. Last week Secretary of State
Benson, chairman of the Highway
Commission, and Goevrnor Denney
asked Mr.. Marvel to accept the ap-
pointment, temporarily, at least, urg-
ing the need for him to remain, cw-
ing to the absence from the city OF
General Coleman dupont, another
member of the Highway Commission.
With this condition confronting the
board, Mr.. Marvel decided to accept
the reappointment.

LEGISLATURE BATTLES OVER

UNABLE TO AGREE THEY AD-
JOURN UNTIL MONDAY, MAY I6
Senator Palmer Introduces School Law
Repeater But 1t Never Came to a
VOte-HOpe for Solution Mondav


Failing to pass a school appropria-
tion bill after two days of feverish eff
forts, both houses of the Legislature
late yesterday afternoon adopted a
Senate concurrent resolution intro
duced by Senator Price providing for
a recess until noon on next Monday,
May 16. The Legislature, assembled
in adjourned session at Dover on
Monday. Adoption of the resolution
followed a tumultuous scene in the
House, which was an aftermath to the
defeat of an appropriation bill pre-
sented by Representative Otwell,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, which provided $1,75O,O0O for
each of the ensuing two years. The
Otwell bill, which went down to defeat
by vote of IA "yeas" to 18 mays"
was introduced as a substitute for a
measure presented earlier in the day
by Representative Clark, chairman of
the educational committee. Represen-
tative Clark introduced two bills in
the House providing appropriations
for the school budget for the next two
years. The bill for the school year
1922 carries a total appropriation OF
$2,3S6,089 and the one for the year
1922-1923 carries total of $2,419,639
Few members entertain any real hope
that satisfactory bill can be framed
by next Monday. 1t is the genera,
feeling that the Palmer bill introduc.
ed in the Senate yesterday morning
will be rushed through to final pass
age. With i'll feeling and general dis
satisfaction growing hourly it is mo-
thought possible that the session car
be prolonged after next Monday. Sen
ator Palmre introduced in the Senate
yesterday bill to repeal the presen
school and re-enacting the old law o.
previous to 1919. There was objection
to the introduction of this bill, bu
President Pro Tenn. Handy ruled tina
it could be introduced by vote of ;
majority Of the Senators. The vot,
to introduce the bill was 9 to Z.

Dover, Del, May 9.-Chief Engi-
neer, Charles NJ. Upham, of the Della
ware State Highway Department, has
received a communication from A. Lee
Grover, secretary of the New Jersey
State Highway Commission, in which
he encloses an opinion of Attorney
General Thomas F. McCran, of New
Jersey, in which the Act establishing
ferry between Cape May and Lewes,
Delaware, is declared by him to be un-
constitutional. His opinion which in
the main was that the State could ac-
quire land but not buy boats will pre-
vent the establishment of ferry line
between the two States for awhile at
least. At the recent session of the
Delaware Legislature, an Act was
passed providing for the ferry from
the Delaware side, with the under
standing that New Jersey would start
the ferry service.
