in certain sections of the State and
other sections badly in need of inn
proved highways were permitted to
get along without them. He stated
in Sussex county not a single improv-
ed highway had been built west of the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks and in
Kent county only one new road had
been built west of the same railroad
and that one was constructed only be-
cause it happened to pass some prop
critics owned by two prominent Re
publican politicians. This House bill
abolishing the present State Highway
Department which is composed of four
members with the Secretary of State
as an eX-officiO member, provides that
the new State Highway Department
will be composed of six members to be
appointed from each county by the
governor and not more than three of
them shall be of the same political
party. When the bill passed the House
it does not disturb the present highway
engineer, C. D. Buck, nor does it affect
his salary. The bill now goes to the
governor for his consideration. An
other of the big bills to pass the SEN
ate was that providing for the De-
partment of State Police. This is
Senator Hardesty's bill. 1t had passed
the Senate once and had gone to the
House but was recalled, recOmmitted
and then reported favorably and was
called up for final action again in the
form of a substitute. The original
names former State Senators J. R.
Clements, of Clayton and James F
Alice, of Dover, as the State Police
| Commissioners and fixed their terms
at four years. The substitute is the
same as the original except that it
fixed the terms of the commissioners
at two years. The vote on the bill re-
suited in IL favoring it and opposing
it. The Senators voting against the
act were Senators McIntire, Moore
Simonton, Viven. Senator Hopkins
! did not vote. Senator Lutz was alb
sent.
The House bill authorizing the Levy
Court of New Castle county to Dor.
row $5OO,O0O to be expended for the
permanent improvement of public
highways in that county passed the
Senate by unanimous vote. This bill
has also passed the House and nov
goes to the governor for his consider
alton.
Another of the school amendment
passed by the House was passed b!
the Senate Wednesday. This bill re
vises the clause about contracts no
extending beyond the school year, s
as to permit the building and repai
projects paid for from bond issues an
other contracts, including contract
for transportation, to extend to tn
end of the biennial school appropria
tion.

by the unanimous vote of the Senate.
The Senate also passed without op-
position the House bill authorizing the
State Treasurer to pay to the board
of school trustees of school district
No. 26 of Kent county, known as the
Canterbury District, the sum of 1925.
This represents the insurance on the
school house in the district which
building was destroyed by fire. 1t is
to be used to aid in the building of a
new school.
Representative Gray's ripper bill re-
ducing the salary of the members of
the Kent county Levy Court from ST.
800 to $1,000 a year was defeated be-
cause it could not command the neces-
sary majority required to pass it but
later in the day it was restored to the
calendar and another effort will be
made to put it through the Senate. 1t
has passed the House.
The House substitute as amended
for the SenAte bill authorizing the
Levy Courts of the several counties
to appropriate funds for county dem
onstratiOn work in agriculture and
home economics was passed by the
Senate. This bill gives the Levy
Courts right to place in the hands of
any farm organization the admins
tration of these funds.
The Senate passed a bill directing
the Secretary of State to turn into
the general fund all moneys received
as license fees for certificates OF
Identification Of motor vehicles.
The House defeated a bill intro
duced by Representative Little Great
ing a conservation commission fol
New Castle county to conserve the
wild life of that section of. the State
and providing for a hunters anc
fisherman's license. This act was
killed by a vote of 18 against it anC
13 for it.
The Senate bill authorizing the gov
ernOr to appoint an additional con
stable in New Castle county was de
feated by a vote of II against and L
for the act. The members claimed t.
see in this bill scheme to create
job for one particular man who ha
been we'll favored by the Republican
party in the past.
Other Bills Passed in Last Hours
The House also killed Senator Wal

years ago authorizing the governor t
appoint special counsel to present t
the Federal Government claims 70
: the return of special taxes levie

that President Harding's advice
was not needed, so that the States

had eaten but not wept, the first

edited by the pastor and contain
ed many amusing news items, ads,
etc. A clipping from the Times
was given by Rev. Benefited, spc-
eial correspondent in the form of
a Negro dialect reading. A couple
of male quartet numbers BY MeSsrs

Hopes Women Will
BrOaGen interests

Gas a man thinketh so is he''
is the way it used to be quoted, " AS
woman thinketh, so thinks the
world, is the new version, Mrs.
Robert J. Burdett stated last night
in a delightful interview. The
mental test she would apply to all
women would. be the question,
"'What is she first thing that you
turn to when you pick up the morn
ing or evening newspaper"
Mrs. Burdett says that the answer
to that question tells whether the
woman is thinking locally minded or
in terms of international relation
ships. She says most of our women
are too circumscribed in their atti
tude toward the world. The society
column interest many of them far
moro than do the great events of
the day and hour.
1t is her one daily prayer that the
Lord keep women from thinking
too much of the little life of the
home town, and she hopes to see
club women, especially, grow into q
broader intelligence and keener I'M
derstanding of the things that are
vital. For her part, she is tremend-
ouslv busy with movements of great
mOmsnt.
