During the month Of September,
both rooms of the Slaughter Neck
school made a percentage in attend
ance over 80, thus receiving the two
books awarded by the Service Citizens
of Delaware.
Extra effort is being made for the
coming month to promote better at
tendance. The lower grades have a
large chart, on which will be kept an
individual record of their attendance.
The upper grades have adopted the
plan of the automobile race" The
pupils have divided themselves into
three groups, each group being the oc-
cupants of car. If each member of a
group is present, that day the car
goes twenty miles, but when one stays
home a day, the car goes back ten.
The idea is to see which one can get
to San Francisco by May II. So be
ready, boys and girls. The cars start

averted serious damage by fire to the
home of Charles Drobegg at Maple
Hill shortly after 6 o'clock last night
1t was while the Hartford trolley car
was passing through Maple Hill, that
the fire was noticed by one Of the male
passengers. He with others left the
car, and on reaching the scene, they
found brisk blaze in one of the
rooms. Through the efforts of the
men, the flames were extinguished be-
fore spreading to other parts of the
house. A telephone call was sent to
Chief William J. Noble of the local
department. and he despatched En-
ginc Company No. to go to the
place. and the chief also responded.
The tiremen found on arrival. that the
had done good work, and
that there was little for the local fire
eaters to do. The blaze was caused
by an explosion of an oil heater.
Early this morning, the fire depatt-
nent was called to the home of ].

from Box Sc. A blaze was found at
the rear of a stove in the kitchen, and

when informed that she had died that
he would not pay the hospital ex-

SUFFICIENT COAL FOR
STATE IF DELIVERED
Drastic Measure Would
Give Conn. Right to Seize
1t at Maybr0Ok Jet.

Hartford, Jan. 26.--There was more
and livelier discussion of the fuel
question by members of the general
assembly in the lobbies of the capitol
today than yesterday owing to the new
turn of affairs overnight. The situa-
tion as it stands follows:
Governor Templeton recommended
January that something be done to
meet the increasingly bad conditions of
fuel distribution. A bill was offered
last week, which the senate tabled for
printing, giving the state fuel admin
istrator power to seize coal in transit;
opinion was expressed that this pro-
vision would run counter to federal
laws.
The resignation of Mr.. Russell, the.
administrator and his deputy. Mr..
Jaynes, was announced Wednesday
night. Governor Templeton stated
yesterday he would accept the resig-
nations and favored three man
commission. Discussion between the
governors office and the fuel ad-
ministrator's office followed as to the
author of the drastic provisions in the
bill. Attorney General Healy, who
put the bill into shape. was quoted as
saying that he did not draw the sei1-
ure sections. Governor Templeton
has assumed responsibility for the
bill Mr.. Russell says he did not
favor it in its present shape. He
wrote to his local administrators yes
terday TO stay on their jobs" Last
night the governor had conference
with legislative leaders. The bill will
be heard next Tuesday at 1890 p. m.
The seizure provisions. it was ex-
planned, would give the administrator
power to assemble motor trucks and
go to Maybrook Junction and take
coal from cars which are held there /
because the railroads cannot move |

developed by the conference was that |

Days Developments.
lBy Associated Press)

10Y SSSOCidtcu I-lcooJ.
The Ruhr valley was reported quiet
but sullen today. following the dis
turbances last night in Dusseldorf
and Essen, quelled by the French
with only minor casualties resulting
the wounding of two Germans in the
former city.
Strong military precautions have
been taken by the French to prevent
recurrence of the demonstrations.
Artillery has been posted all around
Essen and two additional army corps
are said to have been ordered up in
haste from Alsace Lorraine. Nineteen
arrests we're made in Dusseldorf.
Berlin advices say a state of siege
has been proclaimed in the Aix-la
Chepelle and the Kreuznach districts.
The Ruhr continues almost COM
pletely tied up by the rail strike and
navigation by the Rhine from the
valley is similarly at a standstill.
Paris dispatches reflect a more fa-
vorable opinion of the situation. The
strikes, it is stated. are only partial
and government reports show but
10000 miners out in the Essne re-
gion.
Germany was formally declared in
default to France and Belgium on all
her reparations obligations under the
Versailles treaty by vote of the
allied reparations commission. No
default was declared in deliveries to
Great Britain and Italy as Germany
did not include them in her recent
announcement susponding deliveries.
