KISSING IN CARS IS ALL RI9YT:
NO MORE HARM Than IN PARL0R

BALTIMORE. Aug. 21--"It is no
more harm to kiss a girl when In an
than 1t is to sit in her
parlor with your arm around her
and plant kiss on her lips"
Thus spoke Chief Inspector George
Henry, OF the Police Department
when told that fully two score Amer
lean cities are wrestling with the
problem Of automobile spooners"
and parked petting parties" and
that Baltimore would like to find
his views on the matter.
The hot weather has brought this
problem sharply to the fore and an
effort Is being made in other cities
to determine whether or not kissing
ones sweetheart in an automobile
is a greater crime than kissing her
when she is on porch or park
bench.

PLEA FOR DEATH
FOR SLAYERS IN
CHICAGO MURDER

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 Nowhere has
so cowardly a crime been found as
the killing of Robert Franks. Ii
remains with the court 10 TX the
punishment of these vile culDrits.
Death alone Is a fitting penalty and
a lesser penalty would make mock.
cry of the law ITSELF Attorney Thorn
as Marshall said in summing up the
legal aspects In the case of Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb
Joseph Savage. another assistant
prosecutor followed Marshall's argu-
ment and based facts and circum-
stances which he said also urged the
death penalty. Savage said Franks
eighty pounds OF humanity was pound
ed on the head four times by
chsel without a fighting chance
why, Judge. you would not even
strike a dog four times on the head
with chisel without giving it
fighting chance declared Savage.
Savage argued that the failure of
Leopold to push young Franks body
into the culvert far enough was a
break in the plot. He declared 9th

apprehended in 100000 years"

But Chief Inspector Henry has
ruled that it is not unlawful just
so long as those couples do not
disturb the peace, act immorally
or disorderly. And they must not
stop the automobile where it will
obstruct traffic. He said:
"If they go in the outlying dis
tricts and park their ears on the
road 1t is not against the law"
Henry also said that the matter
of arrest lies entirely with the po-
lice. He said:
''If he thinks they are acting dis
orderly ii is up to the patrolman
to make an arrest. but IL | were
passing an automobile and saw
young man kissing his sweetheart

keep on going"

DEFENSE TEST
PLACED ABOVE

II Veteran and Patriotic So

Says Sec. Weeks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21-Action

above politics and prevents its ex-
ploitation for political expediency,r
John w Weeks. Secretary OF War"
said in a letter to Mrs Anthony
Wayne Cook, President General OF
the Daughters of the American Rev
oluton
Mrs. Cook had written to the Sec
retary pledging support of 27 veteran

Departments plan for the defense
test of September ~.
Secretary Weeks emphasized the
point that any cooperation with
the army's plans would be purely
voluntary on the part of such citi-
zens as cared to join in the cere-
monies.
In this connection, the Secretary
wrote:
"The need for civilian participa
tion has ever been questioned. Those
raising this point misunderstood eth
er our military organization or our
plans. They evidently do not real
ize that more than half of the
present army are civilians. tnat the
army will be expanded in an emer-
gency by the addition or more civ
ilians and that civilians will direct
this expansion"

>ors whose interest would not be
aroused by small issues of loca
bonds.
tsl Most important of all and
due largely TO the reasons abuvs
cited the State can market it's bonds
at very substantially lower ra+t
tnan can the local districts or any
one OF them. Probably the STATE
could sell its bonds at per cent =
Az FER cent but 1t is doubtfn.
whether the local districts could OBJ
tain rates as favorable as per cent
Il per cen. This point is strikinglS
illustrated by comparing the results
of On issue of say S1,UO0,0OO al
bonds. If the State made such all
issue at 4 per cent. (s4O,O0O inter.
est each Year, and set aside $10,52U
invested at 4 per cent. each year ca
total annual cost of $50,520) il
,ould pay off the interest and prln
,.Ipal of the $1,OOO,OOO in ~ years
hut if the local districts made bona
Issues totaling $1,OOO,OOO at 8 pc
cent. ($50.0OO interest each Year, j.
II years the principal of the loan
would still remain unpaid. In othe1
words, this difference OF l per cent
per annum will enable the State L
pay off interest and prin ,ipal in I
years. while the local districts We're
paying interest only.
2. What reason can be given for
recommending that the school dis
trlcts assume part of the cost of
school buildings?
For some years the school dis
tricts have been permitted to bond
themselves, not to exceed 5 per
cent of the assessed value of their
rea. estate, for school building pur-
poses. Several districts have issued
bonds under this and other author
ity. It would seem fair, therefore,
that a similar contribution should !
be made toward new school build
ings by the remaining school dis
tricts.
g. What districts outside of Will |
mington have borrowed money since |
1919 for school building purposes; |
what percentage of total cost have
they assumed; and what percentage
of assessed valuation do the bonds
The following districts have is
-
Capable of~horsing 47,O66 pupils
Capable Of housing 1.7S6 pupils
To house $3.50 pupils

2. That the General Assembly

sinking fund charges of the S2,-
OOO,O bonds the sum of $374,OOO

These acts will involve no COM
mitments beyond the year 1926 ex-
cept the interest and sinking fund
charge on the S2,OOO,OOO bonds

gov DELAWARE CAN FINANCE
a STATE SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGARM.
INTRODUCTION.

Mr.. Pierre S. DUPONT who has
Riven so much of his time, business
experience and wealth to the i'm
ErOvement of the Public School
system of Delaware in the past few
years is now turn ng his attention
to a comp eteion of the task in the
near future. He has sent to the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
tion a plan by which he believes
Delaware can bring it's public
school buildings up to one hundred
per cent within five or SIX years. In
drafting this plan Mr.. DUPONT has
acted as a private C tizen trying to
d7 his duty. He does not say or
even believe that his is the only
method which can meet the situa-
tiOn. He has forwarded the result
Of his study and research to the Del
aware School Auxiliary Association
in order that the Legis' 'ature and
the citizens of Delaware may be
stimu ated to face the facts. For
this reason we are publish ng it in
full. No one will be more pleased
that Mr.. dupont if any individual
or organization can present a better
plan.
The outstanding features Of Mr..
dUPont's plan are as lows:
Amount needed to build the worn
out public schools of Delaware,
S9,7OO,OOO;
The General Assembly of 1925 to
begin the program, leaving subse
quent General Assemblies to CON
tinue it m their wisdom:
The General Assembly Of 1925 to do
the following things:
%. To appropriate $1.500.O00
from the present cash surplus of
$4,000 600 in the General Fund of
the State-thus saving interest and
sinking fund on that amount of
bonds.
(2) To issue. in 1926. State
bonds to the amount of 50 OO0.000.
C3) To appropriate 1914 900 a |
year for the fiscal years of 1925 and |
1926. During 1925 and 1926 this |
money would not be needed for in
terest or sinking fund and must be
used for school construction.
(4) The school distr cts which |
huid new schools to provide 90 per |
cent. of the amount needed, the |
State su0nlYing the other 80 per |
cent. This would be in accordance
with the present law; namely, that
each school district may bond up to
per cent. of its assessed valuation.
Not all of the new schools can be
built at once. and no General Assem-
bly, IS expected to solve the problem
in one enactment. The following
General Assembly, 1927, If it is sat
isfied with the results already OBJ
tanned, may issue a part or the
whole of the remaining bonds.
If the s5.5oO.OOO of bonds needed
to compete the work shall finally be
issued. the annual cost to the State
for fo~tv years will be:
$247 500 for interest at 4 Y per cent.
51.500 for the retiment of the
bonds.
$4,000 to accumulate as a fund 8
against the deterioration of !
the schools. with view to
rebuild ng in the future.
(This is a sound business l
method followed in great t
industries.) ,

G. What can be said of the con-
d!tion of the State Treasury?
The financial affa RS of the State
of Delaware are in excellent condi-
tion.
The first State Budget prepared
n the latter part of the year 1922
and presented by Governor Wil-iam
D. Denney to the General Assembly
provided for income and expenses
for the year July 1, 1923-June 80,
1924, shown below as compared to
the actual income and expenditures
for that period.
