mens

At the moment when the European
allied premiers have been obliged TO
adjourn their London conference on
account of failure TO reach an agree
ment on pressing problems growing
out of the world war. word came from
the White house on Tuesday of a
character to indicate that the United
States government might be willing
TO help in Strengthening out the
chaotic European situation.
While what was said was mainly a
repetition of statements which have
been made at the White house and
other administration quarters from
time to time there was a significant
intimaticn that some practical step
by the United States bearing on the
European situation was either pend
ing or in contemplation. The govern
ment, it was said, has not been in
active This information came after a
disclosure from a White house
spokesman that the cabinet at a

Mum on Policy

The government, 1t was said, was
doing all that it could to bring about
an adjustment of economic conditions
in Europe, but it would be manifestly
improper for officials to tell the press
what was being done. And to this
it was added in response to an in
quiry, that the reparation question
was one CT the acute questions in
which the government was taking an
active part.
In his annual address to congress
last Friday, President Harding spoke
of the four powers peace pact. as a
model for agreements which might be
applied elsewhere.

Engineer Grubb Reports on

Supervisors
ALSO DISCUSSES
TAX SYSTEM

c. f. Grubb. county engineer
submitted a report OF improvements
and changes made through the road
supervisors for the year ending April
l to the Levy Court today. Mr..
Grubb suggests in the report road
tax Of 80 cents for the coming year.
The report in part follows:
due to the provisions Of the con-
stitutioD of the State of Delaware,
providing that all taxes shall be uni
form within the territorial limits of
the authorities levying the tax it is
necessary that the same road tax
prevail throughout the county. This
provision works a hardship upon
thOse hundreds having "A low prop
erty assessment but large mileage
of unimproved roads. while in the
heavier assessed hundreds this same
rate provides more than sufficient
funds TO maintain the unimproved
roads and permits these hundreds

UNIFORMS FOR
CITY OFFICERS
Director Sparks Suggests
They Be Provided for
Boetger and McAteer
WOULD HELP IN
ENFORCING LAWS

with the view that the moral ef-
fort will be good and that the Off
GERS will get better cooperation
from citizens in general relative u
the enforcement of city ordinances
Director Sparks at the meeting of the
Street and Sewer Directors this
morning made a motion that uni
I forms be provided for Sidewalk In
] spector Hugh Boetger and Clerk of
! the Market E. S. McAteer. Mr..
Sparks said he thought it would be
a good investment for the city to buy
the uniforms for these officers.
Action on the motion was deferred
until next Tuesday, but the indica-
tions are that favorable action will
be taken as all the members were
apparently of the opinion that the
moral effect Of having these officers
in uniform would he good. 1t is pos
sible that other officials with power
to make arrests, may also be pro-
vided with uniforms.
Ii was brought out that one rea-
son for wanting the officers in uni
form, is the trouble they have with
drivers OF ice cream carrying vehi-
cies to keep them from dumping
salted ice in the streets. near sewer
manholes. who, in some instances, It
is said, ignore the instructions in
this respect This substance is said
to be detrimental TO improved
streets.
Inspector Boetger was instructed
by the directors to arrest the first
violator of the regulation prohibit
ing the dumping of salted ice on
the street and prosecute the case in
City Court. 1t was said that the sec
retary has repeatedly written to
concerns whose drivers are the
offenders but little atten-
tion has apparently been paid to
these warnings.
II the suggestion Of Mr.. Sparks
is carried out, the clerks and in
spector will be given the privilege of
selecting the colors and styles OF /
uniforms should the directors de- /
eide to buy them.

Miss Marguerite H. Burnett
to Direct Home Work

ATTENTION TO BE

Miss Marguerite II. Burnett and

take charge of the home study
classes for foreign-born women

tiring chairman of the Americans
zation Committee Of the Service Citi-
zens.
Miss Hart has accepted a position
as director of the East Side Peoples
Settlement, New York. and will be-
gin her duties there in the fall. She
established the home teaching
classes with a view to instructing
alien women not only in the English
language, but also of enlightening
them concerning American insti-
tutions.
Under the present laws a foreign
born man who desires to vote must
undergo strict examination in the
Federal Court before he is given his
final naturalization papers The in
stant he receives his papers. how
ever his wife automatically becomes
also a citizen and may vote even
though she may be unable to speak
English. 1t was to aid such women
that Miss Hart started the home
classes which have proved most sue
cessful.
The Service Citizens, in its budget
for the coming year, has appropri-
ated $4,000 for carrying on the
classes next year. This sum will
