IF heads Of the university here had
any idea Of impressing students
with the necessity of proper respect

When the students entered the

After few preliminary looks

AVAILABLE FOR STATE ROADS
Highway Department Has S2,5O2, 76O.-
45 Available for New Construction
During the Coming Year

A report of the financial condition
of the State Highway Commission at
the beginning of this year, submit
ted to the commission by l. Paul
Jones, secretary, shows that the COM
mission has available S2,5O2, ,76O.45
for new and future road construction,
Independent of any proposed bond is
sues by the counties not now provided
for. Mr.. Jones' statement shows that
the departments finances are in a
more healthy condition than ever be-
fore. The report shows an excess of
revenue of S144,O66, received from
licenses, gasoline tax and other rev.
enues, which would warrant a bond
issue of S2,058,000 for new highways.
The figures shows an obligated
amount of assets of $29O,382.5O, to
which may be added Federal aid
money, $154,378.25, not under prof
ect agreement; and also the permis-
sible bond issue, S2,059,0O0.44, for
1925, or a total amount of S2,502, ,760.-
45 available for road construction.
For this year, Mr.. Jones estimates
that the receipts of the department
will be $905,000 from license fees, Op-
orators fees and gasoline tax. 1t is
probable, however, the revenues from
these sources will be more than esti-
mated because of the increased num-
ber of car owners. The increase of
the use of automobiles in Delaware in
the past six years is shown by the
following figures: Starting in 1919
the receipts from license fees was
$232,449. In 1920, there was an in
crease of $53,885 over 1919, with total
receipts of $286,334. For 1921 the re-
ceipts were $375,471, an increase over
the year previous of $89,137. In 1922,
the receipts were $326,374, an in
crease of S50,903. In 1923, the re-
ceipts were $516,2O9, an increase of
SS9,835, and in 1924 the receipts
were 1904, ,109, an increase of $88,5OO.
One of the most pertinent items from
a public interest viewpoint is that
governing the State police. While
the cost of operating the department
was $5O,5O1.34, the efficiency of the
police proved so effective that the Of
ficers arrested violators of the law,
who paid fines totalling $38,622.46, so
that the actual expense to the State,
instead of being about 100000 was
but $4,000.

URGE CHANGE IN ELECTIONS
Reported NOn-Partisan Bill To Be In
trOduced in the Legislature

Much discussion is being indulged
in over bill which, it iss aid, will be
Introduced in the present session of
the Legislature to amend the State
election laws. The bill, which is de-
clared to be a nOn-partisan measure,
will provide for the changes in the
present laws so as to cause all prim-
ary elections, outside the City of Will
mington, to be held at the same poll
ing places as the general election and
to cause the primary elections of the
various parties to be held on the same
day and at the same hour. 1t is un-
derstoOd that the bill is intended to
have primary elections conducted in
the same manner as in Pennsylvania
and in several other states. It is
thought this bill will provide for a
State Department of Elections, which
will be created by the bill and that
the bill will name the proposed Of
ticials for this new body and who af-
terward would be appointed by the
Governor. This proposed legislation
seems to be meeting with the general
approval of all legislators of both
parties. Many claim it is a step to-
ward clean elections and strict econ

BIG DIRIGIBLE "LOS ANGELES"
PASSES SPEEDILY OVER SMYRNA
NUMBER VIEW AIR SHIP, FORM
Err ZR-S WHICH CROSSED OCEAN
Ship Was on Its Return From Chesa-
peake Bay to Lakehurst, N. ]. and
Created Fine Sight to Smyrnians


Smyrnians, atleast those who hap-
pened to be attracted, were treated
to rare and unusual treat last
Thursday evening, about six o'clock,
when the big dirigible "Los Angeles
fioated majestically over town headed
for New Jersey on its return from the
Chesapeake Bay to its hangar at
Lakehurst. The big dirigible, which
under the name ZR-3, recently made
its transatlantic trip from Germany,
where it was built, had been under
going a successful test at a mobile
mOoring mast aboard the 'U. S. S.
Patoka in the Chesapeake Bay. Co.
ing over, it had cut out Philadelphia
and Wilmington and passed over New
Castle, Delaware. Returning, instead
OF going by way of the two cities as
above mentioned, it took a course over
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
central Delaware in direction SEEM
ingly for Atlantic City and then up
the coast to Lakehurst. 1t came over
south of Clayton and directly over the
farm of William G. Anthony. cross
ing Smyrna in almost a parallel line
with Commerce street. 1t was flying
low and the purr of its motors at
tracted many out of doors to see it
pass. The lights of the cabin could
be plainly seen in the dark, the out
line in the dull haze of the setting
sun at that altitude made an impress
sion, those who saw it will never for
get. 1t passed over Smyrna at a
good speed and was soon lost to sight.
Captain ]. H. Klein, Jr, commander
of the dirigible, said that the trip had
been success, save for the freezing
of the water recovery system. The
Los Angeles left Lakehurst at 9.2O
o clock Wednesday morning. She was
fastened to the mooring mast of the
PatOka at APO P. NJ, and was then
towed by the water ship a distance
of six miles up and down Chesapeake
Bay. The airship cast off its mooring
at 5.15 and made the return trip tn
her hangar without incident. arriving
there at $50 p. m.
