The frost in the Dover section II
was said was heavier this morning
than on previous mornings.
In some sections of New Castle
county especially on high ground
there was sufficient wind TO keep
away the frost last night but there
was heavy frost and Ice In low sec
tions with at least slightly more
damage TO most all kinds of fruit.
A. b. Peet. secretary OF the state

said there is no question but what
early strawberries have been seri-
ously damaged and tree fruit slight

Nearly all growers OF early straw

RADIO Phone in
ALL HOMES SOON
All You Need Do Is Attach
Apparatus to Electric
Light Socket
CABINET OFFICERS
ARE LATEST FANS

WASHINGTON, April "a Omitted
Prcss)-The radio phone today took
its place In the list Of household
conveniences along with the cleo
;ric iron and vacuum cleaner.
a new invention OF the Bureau Of
Standards at the Department OF
Commerce permits radio fans to at
tlch their apparatus to an electric
light socket and eliminate the cum
aersome and not always convenient
battery.
This, the experts say. will enable
wireless phone fans TO operate their
machines with the ease and comfort
OF any other electrically attached de-
vice and aid in the popularity OF the
sport.
Every cabinet officer in Washing
.on now has a radio phone at ms
dcsk or home and some OF them
nave an apparatus in both. In an
ticspation OF still further develop
ment OF radio phonic possibilities
an arrangement is being made
whereby President Harding and high
government officials may address
the nation through a huge broad
casting apparatus being erected at
Arlington. These speeches, made in
the Presidents Office at the White
House, can be heard simultaneously
every home.
The new receiving device OF the
atandard bureau may be used with
any type OF antenna, elevated wire
coil or special form. BY special
modes Of connection It Is possible to
use the electric light wires them
.elves as antenna but the signals are
likely to come in with less strength
when this is done.
A paper. describing the possibili-
lies In the new appliance is being
prepared by the standard bureau for

portation system ox the United States
broke down. Two years or four years
hence, when business comes to some
thing like its normal volume, the
transportation system of the United
States is confronted by another catas-
trophe. ''The volume of railroad bust
ness" says Elisha Lee, Vice President
of the Pennsylvania, practically
doubles every ten years" The rail-
roads have made no provision, can
make no provision, for carrying a
double load Within the decade every
possible transportation facility will be
sorely needed. No scheme of rail
road construction is possible that will
meet the need without the-help of
waterways and there is no other
waterway project that can ease the
railroads of much of their burden,
and especially the burden of the peak
load, as this improvement which will
admit ocean going commerce to the
lakes.
By the need of forty million people
this remedy is to be sought. This
improvement is to be authorized and
completed at the earliest possible
moment.
