Delaware Apples Now Win Favor
In World Marts Against Competitors
Not Only Holding Their Own With Western Brands But In Some Cases
Bringing Even Better Prices

For the first time in the history o
Delaware, apples from this little Com
monwealth are now competing will
the fanciest and most luscious grown
fruit raised on the Pacific coast anC
shipped 5000 miles eastward to the
best markets. Not only are Delaware
apples competing with western ap.
pies, but they are succeeding in
bringing sales where sometimes the
western apples are without buyers
And what is still more pleasing to
Delaware apple growers, is that it is
not altogether because the price in
some instances may be a little lower
That's not all the story. Some buyers
whose patrons have cultivated a taste
for Delaware apples, buy Delaware
apples because of the peculiarly fine
flavor and taste, so that if the wis
dom displayed by Delaware apple
growers this year is continued on, the
success of apples grown in this State
appears to be well founded.
Last year Delaware apples were
quarantined against by the New York
Board of Health, because of the de-
cayed condition in which the fruit,
not sorted or graded and shipped in
bulk, reached New York City. That
taught a lesson. The past year, many
of the largest Delaware apple grow
ers began the sorting, grading and
careful packing of apples, and while
this was on added cost, they have
made much more than the money thus
expended. Under the direction of the
Bureau of Markets at Dover, many
carloads of apples were inspected by
government inspectors and given the
standing they warranted. This was
another recommendation for the fruit,
and the combination of grading, pack
ing and inspection has brought the
most gratifying result in the history
of apple growers here.
Another reason for the promotion of |
Delaware apples was the advertise
ment given apples at the Eastern
States Apple Exhibition held in New
York City last November. Delaware
was represented by w. T. Derickson'
chief of the Bureau of Markets at
Dover, but there was no display from
Delaware because, as the State made
no appropriation to defray the eX-
pense, and the growers did not feel
like assuming the cost, the State was
not an exhibitor. But the exhibition
attracted attention to eastern grown
apples, which was its purpose. And
Delaware benefited generally.
Eastern Fruit Has Handicap
Now, buyers of apples in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston may ind
boxes of Delaware apples packed and {
graded and in attractive looking boxes t
n commission houses, right alongside I
If apples from the State Of Washing S
on and other big apple growing wes- t
ern states. Because of the long dis Q
ance necessary to transport the ap- e
,les, the eastern fruit has big nan a
licap over western fruit, all other t
hings are equal. 1t costs 81 cents to i
hip from Delaware to New York City S

PLANNING TO WIDEN
FIVE OF CITY'S STREETS

Widening of five Washington
streets was considered yesterday at a
conference between the three assist
ant District Engineer Commits
sioners, Major w. H. Holcombe.
Major Raymond A. Wheeler and
Capt. John e. Wood.
The trio tentatively decided to
recommend the widening Of certain
streets. This recommendation to-
gether with other suggestions for
traffic programs in Washington will
be placed before the District Com
missioners some time this month.
The streets which 1t is proposed
to widen are E street. from Fifth
10 Fourteenth street; Thirteenth
street from F street to Mass
achusetts avenue; Tenth street,
from F street to Massachusetts
avenue; Twelfth street, New York
avenue to Massachusetts avenue;
Fifteenth street, from New York
avenue to X street.
1t is estimated that it will cost
$4,000 to widen these streets.

There can be no compromising
with this crime. Such cases must
be decided according to the evil
dence-not according to the opin-
ion of any individual. The court S
opinion as an individual cannot
enter into the decision. The
evidence alone will be considered.
Because the punishment for
this crime is severe--inVolving
at the courts discretion, a straight
Jail sentence--the evidence must
be convincing. The court is re-
luctant to adjudge any defendant
guilty OH the evidence of one

There must be no cheapening
of this offense by charging the
defendant with drunkenness on
the off chance that perhaps he
was drunk and evidence to that
effect may be brought out during
the trial. Such a cry of Wolf.
