LIQUOR IN STATE IS BOGUS
Director Elliott Says Counterfeit Rev
enue Stamps Are Being Used

Prohibition Director Robert r.
Elliott announced Thursday morning
that he intends to proceed vigorously
against anyone found within his juris-
diction possessing or peddling social
ed bonded liquor where the revenue
stamps on such material are counter
feits. In addition to prosecuting such
persons under the Volstead Act, Mr..
Elliott stated, they will be prosecuted
under the sections of the law involved
in a recent case in the Federal Court
at Wilmington where the accused was
found guilty and sentenced to three
years at hard labor in the Atlanta
penitentiary. Director Elliott said it
has recently come to his attention
that considerable so-called bottled in
bond liquor has been coming into
Delaware. He does not know posi-
lively how this material is getting
into the State but is of the opinion
that it is brought up the Delaware
Bay by boats and landed at some Sc
cluded spot and distributed from
there. He said this liquor is mo-
bonded material and the revenue
stamps being used on the bottles arr
bogus, having been made by counter
feiters.
Mr.. Elliott made it clear that it i
his intention wherever anyone is ap
pretended in transporting such liquo
with these bogus revenue stamps t
prosecute them to the limit not onl
under the Volstead Act but also unde
the statutes against the use of bogu
revenue stamps. He said this ult
matum will be applied to the consun
ers as we'll as the peddlers of this a
legged bottled in bond liquor. In othe
words anyone found possessing liquC
labeled with a counterfeit stamp wi
be arrested on the dual charge {
: stated above, as well as a persc
found selling the liquor. He fee
sure the recent conviction in Il
United States Court at WilmingtC

STATE TEACHERS COMPETENT
Must Have Proper CertifcatiOn to Get
Position Under New Rulings

H B. King, assistant State super
intendent of schools and director of
the elementary schools of Delaware,
addressed the teachers Of the Univer-
sity of Delaware Summer School at
the last assembly held in Old Col
lege last Tuesday on the matter of
certifcation and possible openings for
the coming school year. Mr.. King
stated that while local boards of edu-
cation were given great freedom in
the selection of teachers to fill vacan-
cies in their respective systems, yet
there were conditions established by
the State Department of Public
School Education which public school
boards, as we'll as teachers, had to
meet; namely, a teacher not holding a
certificate in full force in the State
cannot be employed, neither can a
teacher be engaged for a position in
any community who has received a
derating in a former community.
Last year, the speaker stated, it
was necessary to fill 40 elementary
school positions with certified teach
ers from places outside of the State
after having employed all the avail
able qualified teachers within Della
ware.
In view of the splendid attendance
at this session of the University o
Delaware Summer School session, MI
King, said, he knew the teaching sit
uation would be we'll supplied wit
the finest, most progressive and bes
equipped corps of teachers in the his
tory of the State Department of Edu
, cation.

In a storm which struck the vicin-

its greatest damage at RivertOn, Md,
II miles from that town, trees were
uprooted, church was moved several
inches from its foundation, and the
wharf of the B. c. and A. Steamboat
Company was completely demolished.
Laurel and its immediate vicinity,
while in the path of the storm, was
only touched by it's edges and the
greatest damage was done there by
the rain. Two separate storms were
said to have met just over the village
of RivertOn. There was a cloud-burst
causing the streets to become the
beds of raging streams, while the
wind ragged with cyclonic violence, de
molishing many out-buildings, cutting
a road through several timber tracts

GAPS N HIGHWAY

key Has Attention of Dis
trict Board and State
Engineer

The members of the Independent
Highway District met in this city the
first of the week for the purpose of
considering ways and means of COM
plotting one or two stretches of high
ways, that are now gaps in the State
highway between this city and Chal-
lis.
Mr.. Joseph Stemmer, district state
highway engineer was present at the
meeting and assured the commission
ers of hearty cooperation.
The stretches up for consideration
were those near Dickey and immedi-
ately out of Mackay. When bonds
were voted it was the general under
standing that the State highway was
to begin at the Butte county line and
when actual construction was begun
it started four miles above Mackay
and left the gap below and above
Mackay to the Narrows. and also the
one at DiclSey, with one still further
up the country in warm springs can
yon.
There is plan on foot to get state
aid for completing highway construc-
ton on these gaps. 1t will certainly

A TOUGH GAME EXPECTED
FROM MOORE THURS. NIGHT
M. j. H. Sports Editor


Judging from the close game given
the Salmon hoopsters at Moore last
Friday night, by the Moore quintet, a
very hard game is expected by the
Maroons, who lock horns with the
Lost river aggregation here Thursday
might. Dec. IL. Moore is new-com-
er into the Seventh District and their
skill as basket-throwers is not very
definitely known as yet, more can be
said about that after the contest on
Thursday.
The Maroons have played only one
game so far this season and this
one proved successful for them. The
games scheduled before Christmas
are only practice games, but never
theless the skill of team can BE
well determined by these games. The
conference games do not
start until after the holidays. Then
Coach Mac" McLaughlins Maroons
will go into their first conference
game with all their "stuff'.
A large crowd is expected 10 turn
out to witness the new Lost River
team on the floor Thursday night, al
the Chalis Gymnasium. A fast pre-
liminary game is also scheduled for
that evening between the girls.
The admission price has been cut
down to zoe and Csc for this game.
