In Decision Sent To Governor
Robinson Judges Agree The
Law Is Valid.
MAY BORROW Sl,OOO,OOO
Action OF Court Provides WAY
For Additional RoadwOrk In
Sussex County.

Governor Robinson has received
an opinion from the members of tbe
state Judiciary holding the S1,OOO,-
600 State Aid bond issue law for
Sussex county passed by the last
legislature to be constitutional.
When it came time to advertise
Tor bids for the selling Of bonds
under this act, the question was
raised in Sussex county as TO the
constitutiOnality of the law. It was
contended by some persons that the
act by specifying roads 10 be built
violated section 10 Of article 2 of
the State constitution.
In view of the situation Governor
Robinson took advantage Of his con-
stltutional privilege by requesting
the judges to pass on the cOnstitu-
tlonaIity Of the act. About ten days
ago the judges sat at Dover and at
their request Daniel J. Layton. rem
resenting the Sussex County Levy
Court, and Robert H. Richards, Of
Wilmington, representing the State
Highway Department argued the
points involved. Mr. Layton advanced
the argument that the act was un-
constitutional while Mr.. Richards
argued that it did not violate the
provision referred to.
The letter received by Governor
Robinson from the Judges follows:
1--WE have considered the said act
with special reference to the aIleg-
ed points OF unconstitutionality sug-
gested in your letter. AS a very help
full aid to our consideration, we have
the benefit of an argument from able
counsel who developed the merits of
the opposing contentious made with
respect to the constitutionality of
the act.
"The conclusion of the Chancellor,
Chief Justice and Associate Judges
is that in the light of what we have
thus far been able to discover the
said act is not in violation of section
10 of article 2 of the Constitution,
his being the particular constitu-
,ional provision against which the
said act is said to offend"
The decision of the Judges paves
he way for the issuance of the
,onds and the resumption of road
which has been held up I'M
il the courts had passed upon the

FeuD Haze, or Acquire,
Good Thinking Habits

The average man works about eight
hours day, or is supposed to. The
rest of the time is divided about equal
ly, so the theory runs, between recrea-
ton and sleep.
OF the 16 waking hours how many
are devoted to thinking? Psychologists
tell us that a tenth is d liberal allow
ance, and, in actual practice, from that
down. Only little more than an hour
and a half out of the twenty-four oc-
cupied in thinking!
Thinking is one of the most difficult
and trying of occupations, says Col
uer's. Were this not so il is probable
that we might spend more time at it,
To prove this, try to concentrate your
mind on the book you nave just read |;
on the lecture you have recently
listened to; on the important inter-
view you have just had. Try to remem-
Der and recount to yourself, item By
item, just as much as you can of the
thing you read or listened to. 1t will
tire you out Unless you have trained
yourself to the task your mind will
wander-you will lose the thread.
Psychologists recommend the culti-
vatiOn of thinking habits they RECON-
mend less reading and more thinking
about what you have read and heard
and seen.

Cea ars of Lebanon
of Wonderful Beauty

Tae famous cedars of Lebanon
which are so frequently mentioned in
the Bible as symbols of power,
longevity and prosperity, and con-
tinuously sung by poets and extolled
by artists because of their stately
beauty and strength, grow to a height
of from so to so feet, their branches
and foliage covering a compass of
ground the diameter of which equals
the height of the trees.
Although the number Of the famous
trees has decreased considerably, of
late years they have been carefully
tended and preserved and a goodly
number still exist. The best-knOwn
group in the Lebanon range consists
of group of II ancient giants-how
ancient no man can tell-in grove
near the village of Eden, surrounded
by about 400 younger Trees, none of
which probably are under hundred
years of age. Two of the ''patriarchs"
of the celebrated group measure, re-
spectively, from 60 to 80 feet in girth
of trunk. One of these is marked
with the name of Lamartine, the
French poet, historian and statesman.
The younger trees in the grove are
stately, compact and gracefully re-
poseful, but the 'patriarchs' are wild
of aspect and frantic In attitude,
fiinging their muscular arms about as
though struggling with some unseen
enemy. In Ezekiel the Assyrian Is
likened to the cedar of Lebanon, with
fair branches, and with shadowing
shroud, and of high stature, and his
top was in among the thick boughs."

Vocationist Had Real

A revival of this old yarn, once a
favorite of George Robys, is not
amiss: 1t was all about man who
arrived at a seaside resort and went
to a hotel. Shortly after friend
called and was shown up to his room
He found him sitting in chair sur
veying with gloomy countenance a
trunk which stood against the wall.
"What's the matterF" asked the
caller.

of that trunk" was the answer
"Well, what's the difficulty-lost
the key?'
mo, | have the key all right" he
said, heaving sigh. "I'll tell you
how it is. My wife packed that trunk.
She expected to come with me. but
was prevented. To my certain knowl-
edge she put in enough to fill three
trunks the way man would pack
them. If l open 1t, the things will
boil up all over the room. l could
never get them back. Now I'm won
dering whether it would be cheaper
to go and buy new suit of clothes
or two more trunks"-San Francisco
