GoTHENBURG. Sweden, July Is.

termediary exchange" Contracts
have alsD been signed between the
government, which owns and oper.
ates all telephone lines I'M Sweden,
and a private company for the
installation Of automatic exchanges
throughout the city.
The waiting line" is really a
separate exchange, which can be
called whenever a number is re-
ported busy The operators there
take down your number, as well as
that Of the party wanted, and as
soon as the line Is cleared the de-
sired connection is made in the
order of calling. This service is
intended to aid the public in get
ting institutions much in demand,
such as drug stores, doctors Of
fices. hospitals. ticket agencies, etc.
The Intern ediary exchange" is
an even greater accommodation.
There the operators will take your
number when you leave the city for
the weekend and tell your callers
where you can be found, or they
viii find out who Is calling. and
take the message for delivery when
you return. They will do the same
while you go out to lunch, so that
it is unnecessary for a professional
man to hire some one just to watch
the telephone.

BRITAIN FIGHTS

PRICES
Government Plans to Create
Permanent Council to
Control Prices
BY DAVID M. CHURCH,
international News Service.

LONDON, July 15.-England may
soon have a permanent body to con-
troll the prices Of food.
Food prices have remained n.
most stationary, despite very bitter
criticism of methods Of food dis
tribution and price fixing. and the
government. after investigation by
commission, is now preparing more
drastic action.
The increase in the value Of the
pound sterling, since the return OF
the gold standard, has not brought
a corresponding decrease in prices
OF imported foodstuffs, andAthe gov
eminent proposes to act.
THE government proposes to set
up q food council of a representa-
tive character" Premier Stanley
Baldwin declares. Tt will be spe-
of food prices. 1t win, in fact, be
with the duties of watching prices
and supplies Of the principal food
stuffs, advising the government on
all food questions, examining com
plants, and making public from
important facts about food prices.
IF experience shows that compul.
sorry powers are necessary the gov
eminent will not hesitate to ask
Parliament for any powers that may
be required"
Government Acts.
The government is already taking
measures to make it compulsory for
cold storage proprietors to furnish
the government with accurate sta
tistics of supplies OF food upon
hand.
The ministry of agriculture also
has under way measures which are
designed to give the government a
closer control upon food prices.
The drastic action which Premier
Baldwin promises must be forth
coming shortly, for food prices,
coupled with the housing shortage
and the unemployment problem, are
causing unrest, which might lead
to the overthrow Of the Tory gov
eminent.

MAY ABOLISH SUPPLY BOARD
Bill Prepared Providing That This
Department be Eliminated

Due to the time taken up by an
executive session members of the
State Senate last week did not have
much opportunity to devote to the
consideration of new business. They
did, however, find opportunity to
adopt a concurrent resolution submit
ted by Senator Ridgely directing the
State Librarian to supply the men,
bers with postage stamps in a sum
up to $5 for each and it was specified
that this, S5 should not be deducted
from the allowance of $25 for the in
dividual members for supplies of
other kinds. This resolution was or
dered sent to the House for concur
renee.
Several days ago when a resolution
was adopted extending the courtesy
of the floor to former members and
State officials the former lieutenant
governors of the State were not spe-
officially mentioned in the draft. To
show them the same courtesy as that
extended to ether former officials the
OGllctbG dhOpLCu q opCIldl 1CoOAuIlOlA
which extends to these former Of
fcials all the courtesies that the Sen
ate can show anyone.
The rush of bills has not started in
the Senate yet, but it is expected
there will be a flood of new legisla-
tion in a few days. There was draft
ed, but not presented, a bill which
provides for the abolition of the State
Board of Supplies and this act may
be offered for consideration soon. This
Board of Supplies was created under
an act passed at the session two
years ago and it has been functiOninl
since that time, supplying all tht
State departments with whatever the!
needed for the execution of the worl
of which they had charge. Reason
for wanting to have the department
abolished have not been revealed. /
was believed two years ago that sue
board void prove not only con
venience to all State departments bu
would also be the means of savin
much money to the State by gettin
supplies on a contract basis. Whethe
this has worked out has not been rC
ported to the Senate.

MORE ROAD REQUESTS IN KENT
New Levy Court Hardly Organized
Before Delegations Appear

Owing to Tuesday last being In
auguration Day, the regular weekly
meeting of the Kent County Levy
Court was very brief and the Com
missioners were able to complete
their work in the morning and ad-
journ for the day. All the members
of the Levy Court were present and
President Hope presided.
AS was the case at the meeting
last week, the requests for more i'm
proved roads again occupied the at
tention of the Levy Court when two
more delegations appeared before the
meeting on Tuesday. The first dele
CATION was from Pennington and ap-
peared in the interest of the road
from Pennington to Andrewsville,
distance of slightly less than four
miles.
After hearing the delegation, the
Levy Court ordered the request filed
for later consideration. The second
delegation appeared in the interest
of the road from Houston to Will
Evansville, a distance of over three
miles. The request was also receiv-
ed and filed without any further ac-
ton.
William Pickering appeared before
the Levy Court in the interest of an
improved road from Lebanon to Ris-
ing Sun, a distance of less than one
mile. The Levy Court informed Mr..
Pickering that his request would be
considered at later date.
The Delaware State Threshermen'S
Association were granted the use of
the court room on January 18th for
the purpose of holding their annual
convention.
Several members of the Board OF
Trustees of the Poor presented a bill
for painting the dwelling house at
the county farm and it was ordered
approved and paid.
A request was made for Stag to i'm
prove the dirt road running between
Magnolia and Star Hill. The Levy
Court held the matter over for furth-
er consideration at a later date.
One car of Stag was ordered sent
to Wyoming for use in repairing the
road running from the DUPONT farm
to the Willow Grove road. Another
car was ordered sent to Wyoming fol
use on the dirt roads in the vicinity
of Wyoming.
