Many of the ways in which Hog Chol-
era is carried from farm to farm, and
by shipping and driving feeder and
breeding hogs, can be avoided by the
exercise of proper care. Sanitation,
disinfection, self-imposed quarantine,
and vaccination when necessary are
important factors in protecting hogs
against Cholera infection. The State
Board of Agriculture aims to reduce
losses to the minimum and in order
to do this, the cooperation of all con-
cerned is essential to success. There
are many so-called tonics advertised
to do wonder for hogs, none of them,
however, have any value as a cure or
preventative for Hog Cholera. Anti
Hog Cholera Serum and Virus is now
recognized as the only reliable preven-
tative agent in controlling Hog Choi-
era. For the past several years, the
state has furnished Serum and Virus
to the farmers free of charge, large
sums of money having been appropri-

pose. The Legislature of 1921 decided
to discontinue the appropriation for
free Serum and Virus, but did appro-
pirate an amout sufficient to enable
the State Board of Agriculture to keep
on hand sufficient Serum and Virus to
meet the demand. This will be sold
at cost to veterinarians in Delaware
for use in the state. AS result of
the discontinuance of free Serum some
farmers may neglect to vaccinate their
hogs when necessary. The State
Board of Agriculture therefore wishes
to advise that all farmers shall report
promptly any case of sick hogs, either
to the veterinarian or to the State
Board of Agriculture. Investigation
of swine diseases will be made free OF
charge by the Federal Veterinarian

Experiments To Be Made As To The
Best Course Before Bill For ApprO-
priatiOn Is Asked of Legislature

Necessary steps are now under way
to protect the beach at Ocean City
which has for several years past been
gradually diminishing, due to the in
roads made by the ocean waves. Fol-
lowing an investigation of the beacn
last Friday by P. E. Burroughs, dis
trict engineer of the State Roads Com
mission of Salisbury, and Prof. l.. M.
Haupt, well-known authority on beach
protection work throughout the United
States, the latter has been retained
bv the State Roads Commission to
draft plans at once for the contem-
plated project.
A test will first be made in an effort
to ascertain the value of the expert
ment. and should a favorable result
be obtained the State will adopt the
proposition. The experiment is in the
form of a hooked jetty built of wood,
and beginning at the boardwalk will
extend out into the ocean for a dis
tance of $50 feet. The complete plans
/ will be for jetties to be placed at equal
intervals along the beach. The test
of the effectiveness of the jetty will
be made on the portion of the beach
between the Washington pharmacy
and the Ocean City pier.
In an effort to get the work on the
experimental jetty completed during
the month of March, bids for material

DOVER BOY IN ACCIDENT
Was on His Motorcycle When He Ran
Into a Log Wagon

Nathaniel Robinson, a young man
of Dover, aged aobut 20 years,
met with a most frightful accident
Wednesday evening, which may cost
him his life. Robinson owns a motor
cycle and while riding down Division
street at a pretty good rate of speed,
ran into log wagon, head-on, strik-
ing the middle of the team, between
the two horses and lodged under the
heavy log which the driver of the
wagon had on the wheels. He was
dragged some little distance before the
horses, which had started to run away
were stopped. 1t was necessary to
jack the log up to extricate Robinson.
When released he was bleeding pro-
fusely from the face and head. His
teeth were knocked out, being strewn
over the road. He sustained frac-
tured Jaw bone and it was also feared
his skull was fractured. He was other
wise internally injured. The accident
happening between Dover Baptist
Church and the residence of DR.. JOIN
w. James, the young man was hustled
to the Office of DIR. James where med
ical aid was given and later he wa
sent to Delaware Hospital in Whining

NO PARDONS BY THE BOARD
Charles Miller, PickpOcket, Fails in
His Fifth Appeal For Reprieve

The State Board of Pardons at its
monthly session in Dover, Thursday,
had before it two applications for alb
sOlute pardon. The first was that of
Charles Miller, or Leibowitz; who with
two other young men are serving a
six year sentence in the New Castle
County Workhouse for picking pockets
in Wilmington in 1917. Their terms
will expire on March 2, 1923, time be-
ing allowed for good demeanor, while
confined in the Workhouse. Today's
effort for a pardon was the fifth time
Millers' case had come before the
board each time the application being
refused. The board again refused the
application. He was represented by
Henry R. Isaacs of Wilmington. A
detainer has been lodged with the
Delaware authorities for Miller when
his term expires as he is wanted in
Philadelphia where he broke his parole
from an offense committed in that city.
Parole officer Mckenzie, of Philadel-
phia was before the State Board here
concerning the Miller case.
The second case heard by the board
was that of Charles Savage, of Will
mington, convicted and sentenced to
serve a term of one years imprison-
ment in the workhouse, charged with
having a stolen car in his possession
the conviction was the first under the
| law passed by the last session of the
General Assembly. His application was
also denied. He was represented by
Rev. William A. Vrooman, of the
Prison Aid Society of Wilmington.

cends any limitations sought to be inn
posed by the people of a state" The
remaining objection, that the ratify-
ing resolutions of Tennessee and West
Virginia are imperative because
adopted in violation of legislative pro-
cedure in those states may have been
rendered "immaterial," the court de-
clared, by the subsequent ratification
of the amendment by Connecticut and
Vermont. The contention was dispos-
ed of however, on a broader ground,
the court stated, adding that the Sec
retary of State having issued a proc
lamation of the ratification of the
amendment by the Legislatures of
thirty-six states, the amendment to all
intents and purposes has become a
part of the Constitution. AS Tennes-
see and West Virginia had power to
ratify and had officially notified the
Secretary of States that they had
done so, their action was binding upon
the secretary, and upon being certified
/ by that official, had become conclusive
upon the courts. The court announced
in disposing of the case, which had
been brought on appeal on writ of
error, that it granted the petition of
the parties for a writ of certiorari
but the decision Monday so thoroughly
disposed of the objections urged, there
seemed in the opinion of court officials
no probability that any argument
could be presented which could cause
the court to change its views.

PROCESS FOUND TO PURIFY
WASTE IN TOMATO CANNER|ES
FEDERAL EXPERIMENT PROVING
MUCH GOOD TO CANNING
No OdOrs Had After a Proper Filter
ing Through Beds of Cinders and
Sand-Affects All Canneries

The United State Public Health Ser |
vice announced the completion of ex-
periments which will enable Gamers
of Delaware and other parts of the
country to purify their waste, that it
may be discharged without nuisance
into small bodies of water and
streams. "The experiments began by
the Public Health Service at Farnham,
New York, at the request of canning
company, after the company had found
itself unable to obtain information
from any source as to methods of pur-
flying its wastes" says the Govern
ment bulletin. "This factory, however,
was burned while the testing plant
was under construction, and the tests
were carried out at tomatoScanning
plant at Amelia, Ohio.
"The wastes treated consisted of the
liquids from washing down floors and
cleaning utensils and apparatus and
those from scalding the tomatoes, but
did not include tomato cores, skins or
pulp. The solids, including the pulp,
were hauled away and ploughed into
the ground. The volume of waste
treated averaged about one-half gal
lon per No. 3 can of tomatoes packed
(1000 cans to the TOM
"The liquid waste was pumped to
settling tanks, in which about IS per
cent. of the solid matter held in sus-
pension was removed and the citriC

RULING ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
The United State Supreme Court De-
cides it Effective in States

The decision upholding the cOnsti-
tutionality of the Woman's Suffrage
handed down Monday rep
resented the unanimous ruling of the
u. s. Supreme Court. The challenge
came from the State of Maryland,
where Oscar Lesser and others sought
to prevent the registration OF two
women as qualified voters in Baltl-
more. Lesser and his associate con-
tended that the Constitution of Mary
land had refused to ratify the woman S
suffrage amendment, and that the
amendment had not become a part OF
the Federal Constitution. The Mary
land State courts sustained the amend
ment. The contention that an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution re-
lating to additions to the electorate
cannot be made without the consent
of the State, the court disposed of by
reference to the fifteenth or equal suff-
rage amendment, declaring that "one
cannot be valid and the other invalid.
Il pointed out that the validity OF the
| Fifteenth Amendment had be recog-
nized for half a century. The sugges'
tion that several of the thirty-si2
/ states which ratified the Nineteenth
Amendment had provisions in theil

 Years.

Mrs. E. w. Curtiss has found her daughter, Grace, after search of nearly four years.

HOUSATONIC ROAD TO
 BE PARTLY OF GRAVEL
Plans for All Concrete Are Abandoned, Say Latest
 Rumors

The Housatonic Valley, which has attracted much attention in this part of the state since Commissioner Ben nett announced that the contract for the first section had been let, is again the cause of more or less dis cussion. This talk is centering a. round the kind of construction to a be used.
 It was generally understood some months ago that the entire distance from New Milford to Canaan, about thirty-fve miles, would be construct ed of concrete. The reason for this was manifold. First because the section through which the road pass es would mean a more direct route to northern points, therefore would attract considerable traffic. Second, because it being Federal Aid road, which means the Federal govern ment will pay one-half the cost up to $40,000 per mile. There are other adequate reasons according to, those interested.
 The latter reason seems to be sui fcient to the majority of people who reside in the territory through which the road will pass, for construction means a permanent road that will be open to traffic winter and summer. Furthermore, the cost of mainten- ance is far below that of macadam roads, which during the coming years will be no small item.
 The rumor has it that the Com missioner has abandoned the idea of all-concrete construction and a con- siderable portion will be nothing but gravel road. It is said the sec tion between Cornwall Bridge and Lime Rock is the portion selected for gravel road. Generally speaking, this means mud, water and ruts ev- cry spring and fall.
 To those with whom we have talked it seem that inasmuch as the fed eral government is paying one-half the cost of any form of construction and that the cost of concrete con- sruction is far below the limit set, there is no reason why concrete should not be used. However, if the Commissioner really has decided to build the road partly of gravel there must be a good reason for it.
