July 2 has been selected for
the formal acceptance of the du

tions are that the ceremonies
will exceed expectations. Pres.
ident Coolidge, members of his
cabinet and governors of adjoin-
ing states will be invited, to-
gether with our own Congress
sional delegation. The Morning
News rightfully contends "the
State highway is so much ap-
preciated that the people will be
glad to enter heart and soul into
the spirit of the occasion. AS
has been noted the gift of Cen
eral DUPONT is a wonderful page
in the history of our State, and
the exercises will be a token of
appreciation. They will be a
fitting prelude to the Fourth of
July. The people will be in a
holiday humor. 1t is especially
fitting that the ceremonies
should be on July 2, for the
highway is a patriotic gift, a
manifestation of the donors
love for Delaware"

BAD DETOURS TO REHOBOTH
Concrete Road Under Construction
Will Not Be Finished Until July

Concrete Road Under Construction
Will Not Be Finished Until July
Motorists who attempted the trip
to Rehoboth Beach last week met with
what was probably the worst detOur
they had ever experienced. A side
road had been attempted by the side
of the right of way, paralelling the
concrete being laid. Heavy rains,
however, produced a regular mudhOle
in which trucks and touring cars
stuck. Cinders were ordered by the
car load but they failed to appear and
as a result the entrance to the beach
was exasperating. Many who went
from Philadelphia and did not know
the condition of the side road were
confronted with a passageway that
took all their nerve and nearly ruin
ed some of the cars. One mOtOrist
who has been using car for fifteen
years, and has watched the construc-
ton Of concrete roads throughout the
State, declared that the detOur was
the worst he had ever seen. The
main difficulty seemed to have been
that the detOur was not constructed
before the road building and not until
it became absolutely necessary. Many
visitors turned around and failed tC
complete their weekend trip. Th'
contractors got busy latter, however
and with three car loads Of cinder
made the road fairly passable. Reho
both Beach can be reached by oni!
one road and that caused the trouble
The concrete road will be thrown opel
to the public sometime next month.

Forcing open a door of the build
ing, thieves last week entered the old
Union NJ. E. Church, between Pine
Tree and Blackbird, an& stole sew
enty-fve year old clock that has been
treasured by the congregation. Be
sides the clock, the thieves took two
rugs, a water pitcher and glasses.
Only one service a year is held in the
quaint old church and that service is
held in September. 1t is one of the
oldest churches in the State. When
first built it was constructed of logs,
but it was replaced by brick struc-
ture about 1912. Bishop Scott, who
died about forty years ago, is buried
in the church yard. Unable to COM
prehend why thieves would want to
break into the church and steal the
cherished clock, the congregation is
hoping that the timepiece, the face OF
which is about twelve inches in di-
ameter, will be recovered and replac-
ed in its old position in the church.

"CLEAN, EM UP" IS
HARRY FOX'S MOTTO

Harry Fox, ace of American Legion
membership campaigners in South
Dakota and the Middle West, is a dry
cleaner by trade.
"Clean 'em up" is his motto in bust
ness and in his Legion efforts. He is
the niftiest little mopper-up going,
when it comes to getting the boys to
sign up for the Legion.
If you don't believe it just take
slight peep at his record. Two hun
dred and eighty-five paid-up members
signed up in the first four months of
this year. If there's a better record it
hasn't been disclosed to date.
Harry has selling personality. The
boys just can't resist his line of talk
when he opens up on them and shows
them the dotted line" for their sig
nature.
Fox Is charter member of Harold
Mason post of the American Legion at
Sioux Falls, S. D.
This isn't his first attempt to sell
Legion memberships, either. He is
one of those fellows who keeps ever
IaStlngly at 1t. In 1920 he first began
operations on department store
scale
That year he signed up so members.
The next year he came under the wire
with grand total of 100 % per
cent gain wasn't just Harry's idea of
healthy, growing business. The next
year he hitched up his belt little
tighter and rolled in $50 members.
Then the membership, somehow,
struck slump. Harry didn't have as
much time for it, or something. The
best he could do was 125.
He was downright disappointed. He
will confess 1t to you himself.
But he was game. He merely
grinned with grin that meant BUSH

hess. He went out to show the rest
of the gang that 1t was just a fuke.
He made up his mind to beat that rec
ord way yonder.
Did he? Well, 285 in the first four
months of 1929 rather looks like it.
And the years not nearly over yet.
Harry may have all of South Dakota
signed up in his post before the years
over Il the other fellows don't keep
their eyes open.
How does he do it? It's really very
simple.
He meets a prospect. He explains
the work of the Legion earnestly to
him. He tells him about its service
to the individual and the community
at large. He gets that prospect in
the frame Of mind where he just natu-
rally wants to join big organization
which does things.
Mr.. Veteran may not join right then.
It takes a little time with some of
them. But he goes away with look
on his face that shows he's got some
thing to think about.
aDOcS marty quit lllcHt 4NOt oA yOuE
life! The fun's just really getting
well started
The only time Harry sits down is
when he is driving the delivery wagon
for the cleaning establishments of
which he is part owner.
The next time he sees his man he
comes right back at the old proposi-
ton.
! "You would not have been outside
during the war, would your"
! That's the way he greets him.
And Mr.. Fox follows that query up
with another, equally to the point.
''Then why be on the outside now?'
Harry never says quit until Mr.. Vet
eran has got his name down on that
little card, with face beaming with
a look of deep-down-in-the-soul salts
faction that tells he's mighty glad he's
done 1t, too.
He is married. He has spent most
of his life in Sioux Falls. He served
with the Eighth division, the Pathfnd-
ers, at Camp Freeman. California.

Best of Rising Players Come
From Public Links.

Washington, D. C.-Not so long ago
golf was quite generally regarded as
a game for idlers who were too lazy
to take up any strenuous sport and
for elderly gentlemen who had been
deluded into the belief that pottering
around meadow after a little white
pill might add few years to their
lives
When women began to take it up it
was even more disparaged by chesty
individuals who prided themselves on
being he-men. They laughed at the
idea that it was form of athletics
and called it cow-pasture croquet
They derided any one who tc.,k it
seriously. 1t couldn't. be real "ssercse
they said. because those Who played
the game hired a caddy to carry the
golf bags and clubs and chase the
balls, which was the only hard work
involved. 1t couldn't be test of skill,
because any one could knock a bali
few hundred yards, walk up to it,
hit 1t again, and then baby it into
a hole in the ground.
They found the golfers costume of
bnickerbockers especially mirth-pro-
Foking. Grown men cavorting around
In short pants
And this thing of using a different
club every time you hit the ball. What
rot. A bats bat when you play
baseball, isn't it? You get one you
like and then you stick to it until you
break it or somebody swipes it, don't
you? You don't use a dozen different
cues when you play billiards or pool,
do you?
Too Polite on Links.
And then there's the business of
being so polite-the golf etiquette
stuff. More rot Mustn't talk or
move While anybody's making a shot.
If you do you get two slaps on the
wrist, or maybe three! What would
baseball be if you couldn't razz the
batter, try to rattle the pitcher and
baWl out the bird who pulls a boner?
A games a game and not a tea party .
And when anybody gets in your way,
you can't yell Gettheh-loutofther
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS You've
got to say Fore, please!' and MAY
we go through?'
But the day came when some of the
strenuous boys tried playing golf. They
didn't do it because they were inter-
ested or ever could be interested in
the game, but just as a personal IA
yor to someone who'd been coaxfng
them to try it, or maybe just to show
the game up as the lot of condemned
foolishness that everybody with horse
sense knows it is. Perhaps they
thought they would give little DEM
onstratioE of what regular guys could
do if they condescended to swat the
ball few times.
At any rate they tried it and they
discovered it is not joke.
Today golf is everybody's game.
1t is no longer-if it ever was
merely rich mans pastime. 1t is not
necessary to belong to an expensive
and exclusive country club in order to
enjoy 1t. The great increase in the
number of public links has brought the
game within the reach of practically
every one who desires to take it up.
And when tournament time comes
around the public links players are
found among the contestants on the
courses of the finest private clubs.
There Is no aristocracy of golf, no
snobbishness, no exclusiveness. From
England comes the story of a member
of royalty. a duke and three of his
chums playing q match game with four

Use of Motor Boat is Caus-
ing Much Trouble.

Washington, D. CA recent demon
stration by indignant gondoliers in Ven
ice because of the increasing use of
motor boats on the canals of the city
may have the most elementary eco
nomic consideration at its rootS-the
fight to hold ones job-but there is
much more at the bottom of it as we'll,
ington Cd. CO. headquarters of the
National Geographic society.
'Venice's environment evolved the
gondola almost as truly as an aquatic
life changed legs into tiippers for seals
or put web feet ON ducks" says the
bulletin. Venice not only has water
avenues, large canals in which motor
boats can operate, but also many
scores of narrow and shallow water
lanes and water alleys where the use
of mechanically propelled craft would
be out of the question. Probably no
other boat as large as gondola, even
though driven by oar or pole, could
navigate these small channels success
fully.
Gliding Over Surface.
This distinctive craft is more like
skate gliding over surface than a
boat blowing into it. Both ends are
curved up and the bottom is fiattened.
The weight of the gondolier in the
stern tends to raise the PROV; and
the boat seems eager to climb out of
