SLEUTHS
SCOUT DOG TALE
Laugh at Report That Blood
hounds Will Trail Moon
shine"
ONE AGENT SUGGESTS
USE OF RUMHOUNDS

Something that sounded suspic-
iously like raucous laughter re-
sounded in the offices OF the Federal
Prohibition Director for Delaware
today. over published reports that
Director Elliott is seriously consid-
erlng the employment OF blood
hounds TO hunt moonshine.
The director himself was not
about. In his absence enforcement
agents and the clerical staff declined
to make any statements. Unofncially.
however. they secuted the whole
scheme, declaring that use OF dogs
would be a dead give-away'' on any
agents accompanying them on raids.
One enforcement agent was over
heard to mutter something that
sounded suspiciously like better get
some rumhounds instead Of blood
hounds to trail moonshine." while
another intlmated that airplanes.
armed with radio telephones. would
operate more efficiently in the
swamplands Of Sussex county than
canine sleuths.
Il appears that a publicity dir
cuiar." issued from the washington
headquarters OF the Prohibition
forces, telling how a prohibition d.
rector in Colorado, had trained dogs
to ferret out stills, had formed the
basis for the report that Director
/ Elliott contemplated employing
/ bloodhounds Some remarks on this
made by the director In Joking form
were taken seriously.

.ELSMERE MAY
GET new Church
Presbyterians Name Com
mittee to Look After
Matter of Site
ALSO TALK OF
BUILDING MANSE

At a special meeting OF the trus-
tees OF Elsmere Presbyterian Church
last night at the home OF W. A. Dry
den, officers for the ensuing year
as follows were unanimously elect
cd: Leroy B. Steele, president; A.
w. Birch. vice-president; w A. Dry
den. treasurer. and l.. ]. Ector, sec
rotary.
After the election OF officers the
selection OF a site for the erection OF
a new church and manse was dis
cussed. The building which is being
used at the present time is located
near a railroad. and the noise from
this source IS annoying. both to the
pastor and the congregation.
Another Objectionable feature IL
the lack OF n parsonage. The pastor
resides In Wilmington and has to
commute, which Is inconvenient. AT
the recent annual meeting of the
New Castle Presbytery It was stated
that Elsmere would receive its full
support and backing in this connec-
ton.
For the purpose Of selecting g
site for the proposed buildings. Mr.
steele appointed a committee OF
three. Mr.. Sterling. chairman; L. J.
Ector and A. W. Birch. The com
mittee will investigate and report al
the next meeting.
The pastor, the Rev. Irwin L. Wag.
ner. has made a good record since
coming to Elsmere.

This is precisely the way two Brothers
feel toward the ice-cream they have been

Burdan Brothers the quality and consist
ency of the cream as it passes from
process to process.
Burdan's Ice-cream Is the most nutri-
tous and delicious ice-cream because of
this incessant personal effort of the two
Burdan Brothers.
