PLENTY OF GAME DOWN SOUTH
T. T. Windsor, Milford Sportsman,
Was Bitten by a Cub Bear

Thaddeus Z. Windsor, proprietor Of
the New Windsor Hotel, Milford, has
just returned from a hunting trip to
North Carolina, and brought home as
trophies three black bears, one deer,
one wild cat and sixteen raccOOns,
which were killed during the trip.
Accompanying Mr.. Windsor were
"Thatch' Everett, clerk at the hotel,
and Jack Matthews, of Onancock, Va.
The party travelled in Mr.. Windsor's
truck which is equipped to carry dogs,
camping outfit and can be used as
sleeping quarters. The party took a
small tent with them which they used
as shelter at night and spent their en-
tire two weeks trip in the "Open."
Most Of the cunning and hunting
was done southwest of Elizabeth City,
N. c., in the Dark and Dismal Swamp
bear territory being especially sought.
Mr.. Windsor took with him a pack
of hounds which he states took natur-
ally to trailing bears, only one of the
dogs having previous experience in
this line The bears were trailed just
like "coons" and treed in the same
manner.
The larger bear which Mr.. Windsor
brought home weighed about three
hundred pounds. This bear was seen
up a tree eating gum berries. The
animal was approached under the
cover of reeds and shot while up the
tree, but not seriously wounded. He
slid to the ground and started to give
battle but as the animal approached
the party Jack Kelly killed the beast
with a shot through the head.
One cub which the dogs treed Mr.
Windsor endeavOred to take alive
The young bear was shook from the
tree and as it fell to the ground Mr.
Windsor jumped on the animal in an
effort to hold it's head and paws unit
a rope could be tied around the neck
of the bear. The Milford man has
had considerable experience in handl
ing bears, and has now two large live
ones in his possession which he ha!
reared from cubs. When "Thad'
pinned the cub to the ground the dog.
also got in the fight, and bit Mr.
Windsor as well as the bear, COMPEL
ing him to liberate the animal
was subsequently caught by th
hounds and wounded so badly that i
had to be killed.

Welfare Commission Adopts Program
for Aiding tuberculosis Cases

The Delaware Health News issued |
by the State Health and Welfare |
Commission for November is devoted |
to the care and prevention of tuber-
culOsis. Under the heading division |
of tuberculosis, the publication says:
''In accordance with the new policy |
of the State Health and Welfare Com
mission TO reduce the high mortality
from tuberculosis in this State and
the incidence of this disease, there
has been inaugurated a plan whereby
additional clinics will be established
throughout the State, under the di-
rection of full time physician es-
pecially qualified in diagnosis of Tu-
berculosis.
at is the especial desire of this
commission to find the incipient cases
and offer them hospital care. To ex-
anime the contracts and other mem
bers of the families in which there
are active cases of tuberculosis.
"To prevent the spread of the dis
ease by the education of the patient
and other members of the family.
"At present facilities for the dag
nOsis of these cases have been estab-
hshed at the following locations:
Wilmington, $50 Kirkwood Every
Monday 2 p. m. to p. m; Night clinic
second Monday each month $50 to
$50. Fifth and Madison streets every
Tuesday 2 to a p. m. and fourth Tues
day night each month $50 to $50 pm.
Newark: First Monday each month 10
a. M; New Castle: Second Tuesday
each month 10 a. m.; Delaware City:
Third Monday each month 10 a. M;
Smyrna: First Tuesday each month
10 am; Dover: Fourth Thursday each
month 10 a. M; Milford: First Thurs
day each month 10 a. m; Seaford:
Third Friday each month 10 a. M;
Laurel: Third Friday each month 2
p. M; Georgetown: Second Thursday
each month p. m.
GAS soon as available quarters are
furnished by the community, addi-
tiOnal clinics will be established at
Middletown, Lewes, MillsborO, and
Harrington, as the commission is un-
able to finance quarters.
"The clinics do not aim to be a
center for treatment, nor to take the
care of tuberculosis cases out of the
hands Of the family physician, but
rather to cooperate with him in hos
pitalizing all active cases, and keep
ing under observation all contacts.
"The family physician will be for
warded a copy of the examination of
all cases attending these clinics, for
his information as to our findings and
advice given the patient.
"AlI cases diagnosed active will be
urged to accept SanatOrium treatment,
as they not only receive proper treat
ment but are taught definitely how to
continue the cure at home after leav-
ing the sanatOnum.
"Active cases refusing sanatorum
treatment will be given literature and
advice as to home treatment.
"The county health nurse will visit
these cases, giving instructions tC
other members of the family as tC
prevention and urging all contacts t.
, be examined.
Suspected tuberculosis cases will
be advised to return to the clinics al
! stated intervals until a definite dag
/ nosis has been made.
Ceases showing no tuberculosis will
D be advised to see their family ply
, sician FOR treatment of non-tubercu
losis conditions"

Shows Improved Roads Value

The report shows that 13,222,99
gallons of gasoline were sold in the
State during the year prior TO De-
cember l, comparative cost of Operat-
ing over improved roads as against
unimproved roads, showing an ap-
proximate saving to motorists of ST.

100000.
The advantages, value and service
which the improved roads offer to the
farmer, dairymen, fruit growers, and
business men in general is we'll illus
trated by the fact that cargoes pass
ing through Dover between June 1 and
November IS, 1924, weighed 42,514
tons.
Mr.. Bucks report says that the
state tax on gasoline has proved a
"most painless, profitable and equit-
able piece of legislation" The rev.
enue derived from this source since
the gasoline tax law went into effect
April %, 1923, is $353,129, collected
by the State Treasurer at a cost of
4 $50. In the first eleven months of
1924 the revenue from "gas tax" was
1854 ,459.
During the past "a months the
Highway Department has supervised
the execution Of II contracts for &c.
/. 038,022, for which surety companies
have received $90,570 in premiums
yet not single dollar of loss has beer
incurred Mr.. Buck recommends that
the Highway Commission be empOw-
cred to award contracts, in its iudg-
ment, without requiring surety bond
which in his opinion would result il
substantial saving to the State.
During the year $346,000 as Fed
eral aid was received. "The posi-
bility Of future Federal aid for high
ways in our state is encouraging,
Mr.. Buck adds.
During the year 20 miles of pre-
: lininary road surveys, 20 miles o

HIGHWAY ENGINEER WOULD
INCREASE TAX ON GASOLINE
PROPOSAL C. D. BUCK DESIGNED
TO HAVE VISITORS AID ROAD
He Would Then Cut Registration Fee
Annual Report Suggests Many
Improvements To Roads

improvements To Roads
c. Douglas Buck, chief engineer of
the State Highway Department, was
reelected to that office at a meeting
Of the State Highway Department in
Dover last week, following the pre-
sentation of a comprehensive report
by Mr.. Buck of the activities of the
department for the year 1924, and en-
bOdying an aggressive bodybuilding
program during 1925.
During the year 1924, wonderful
progress was made on road-building
program which contemplates ultimate
ly the construction of about 200 miles
more of modern highways.
In addition to the completion and
opening to traffic of 65 miles, thirty
two contracts for 69.16 miles of road
were given during the year, the en-
tire cost aggregating $2,555, ,928.87..
The report shows that altogether
the State now has 1892 miles of
modern highways, the cost of which
is $18,900,821, including the Coleman
dupont highway, a gift to the State,
which cost General dupont $3,917,OO3
and the Kennett pike, a gift to the
State from Pierre S. dupont, which
cost Mr.. DUPONT $764,287.
Mr.. Buck advocates legislative au-
thOrity which will ultimately enable
the State Highway Department to
abolish all steam or electric railroad
grade crossings in the State.
The construction of sidewalks along
the improved roads.
The construction by the State of
new and more modern bridge across
the Christiana River at Market street.
A material extension of the State
police service.
The widening of Penny Hill so as
to allow for three lanes of traffic.
Would Increase the Gasoline Tax
That beginning January, 1926, the
State tax on gasoline be increased to
3 cents a gallon and that there be a
decrease in the fees for the registra-
tiOn of motor vehicles in Delaware to
make autOists from other states using
the highways pay more Of the costs.
The placing of earth roads under
the jurisdiction of the State Highway
Department.
The report also recommends that
beginning January, 1926, all State-aid
roads constructed or to be constructed
be maintained solely by the State and
the counties be relieved of paying
S100 year per mile for the main
tenance of such roads; also that the
State take over the work of improv-
ing the more important dirt roads
which do not justify the expenditure
necessary for hard surfacing.
1t suggests that roadside advertis-
ing be taxed and the revenue used
for the maintenance of State high
ways, and that the department be en-
powered to regulate the location OF
all billbOards along State highways.
1t favors two additional stations fol
State highway police being erected
one in Sussex county on the roaC
from Dover to Delmar, and one on the

enough men, which would mean thirty
six, be provided to give twenty-four
hour service at every station.

County Rangers
For Minnesota

lie Sueur County bankers were the
first to propose protective associa-
ton to be known as the Minnesota
County Rangers. The idea took hold
and held fast and at the bankers
meeting at Duluth a state organiza-
ton was perfected. We haven't the
space to go into details of the plan,
but the meat of it is they are GO
ing to make it extremely sultry for
the bandit and the yegg. Members of
the organization will be in every
town in the state, fully equipped to
do business on short notice The pur-
pose is to protect every line of bust
ness, and individual property, and a
good stiff reward is offered for band
its, dead or alive. The plan and the
purpose has the unanimous endorse
ment Of the sheriffs of the state, and
we presume all other law abiding
people. The big idea of the organi-
cation it that quick trigger Ranger

So Was This Redwood Falls Woman
Who Tells Her Experience.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic This Redwood Falls case is
one of many:
Mrs. Geo. Federly, 622 Mill st. says:
"Overwork broke down my kidneys
and had considerable backache.
Homework was hard because of the
knife-like pains in the small of my
back. / also had bearing-down pains
across my kidneys and felt tired and
all worn out. Specks floated before
me, blurring my sight and my kid
neys acted irregularly. 1 bought
Doan's Pills at Freyer & Knapp's

justment in accordance with the
new organization law. It has not
yet been referred to me officially

report. In the meantime, the matter
