port of the OBard of Examiners, in
which A. B. Magee, Jr., Melvin Hop

received the young men, telling them
that while they might have selected
some other profession in which they
might make more money yet he felt
that no profession could be more of
service to the public than that of an
attorney at law After taking the
usual Constitutional oath, they were
admitted to the bar.

AID FOR DELAWARE GROWERS
U.Of d. Experiment Station with More
Available Funds, Add to Their Staff

U.Of d. Experiment Station with More
Available Funds, Add to Their Staff
Mr.. f. c. Lagasse will be added to
the Staff of the University of Della
ware Experiment Station on Septem-
Der l. Mr.. Lagasse will investigate
the problem of the factors underlying
fruit bud formation in tree fruits,
particularly the apple and peach. This
IS an extremely important problem for
the fruit growers of Delaware. 1t has
a fundamental bearing upon the whole
problem of orchard management. Mr..
Lagasse is a graduate of the UniverS-
tiles of New Hampshire and Mary
land. He has done graduate work for
two years under DR.. Auchter, who is
so favOrably known to our fruit grow
ers. Another one added that is of in
terest to our growers is Dr.. H. l..
Dozier, an entOmOlogist. The L. of
d. Experiment Station has not had an
EntOmolOgist on its staff for almost
twelve years. Insects take a huge
toll yearly from our farmers, and par
ticularly from the fruit grower. One
of the great needs of the fruit indus
try Of the State has been for a COM
petent entomologist to study our in
sect problems. Consequently one of
the first moves taken when the Pur-
nell fund of $4,000 this year and
growing each year to 100000. was
passed by Congress to establish a de-
partment Of Entomology. The de-
partment wiil start functioning on
August Is, when DR.. Dozier will re-
port to take up the position of En-
tOmolOgist to the Experiment Station.
The first problems which DR.. Dozier
will probably undertake will be stud
les on the control of the codling moth.
which has been so destructive to our
apple crop, and a study of the oriental
peach moth which menaces our peach
crops. There are many other insect
problems which will doubtless occupy
DR.. Dozier' attention. DIR. Dozier is
at present Entomologist of the IHsular
Experiment Station in Porto Rico.

STATE PRIZES AWARDED BY BAR
Lawrence E. Elliott of Bridgeville
Wrote Best Essay for Bar AssOcia-
ton of Delaware Prizes

tiOn of Delaware--Other Pr7Zes
Impressive exercises held in the
Kent county Court House at Dover
on the Fourth were attended by less
than twenty-five persons. A United
States District Judge Hugh Morris,
of Wilmington; State Judge, Chief
Justice Pennewill, of Dover, of the
State Supreme Court, and George n.
Davis, secretary of the Citizenship
Committee Of the Delaware State Bar
Association, of Wilmington, were the
participants in the presentation OF
cash prizes to the four successful con-
tetants for the prizes offered by the
Delaware State Bar Association and
the bar associations of each of the
three counties, for the best essays on
"The Powers of Congress" Judge
Morris briefly stated the object of the
exercises, that of the presentation Of
the prizes to the successful contest
ants, and also reminded them of the
significance of the 4th Of July in con-
nection with the Constitution of the
United States and the powers of Con-
gress. He then introduced Chief JUS
tice James Pennewill, who made the
oration of the day. Judge Pennewil
prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that it was happy thought in
the selection of the 4th of July in
presenting the prizes to the successful
contestants and expressed the hope
that future prizes, if continued, would
be presented also on the 4th of July,
so that the patriotic thought might be
combined with the essays written on
whatever the subject might be of ma
tiOnal Importance. Following the adj
dress of Judge Pennewill, Judge Nor
ris then introduced George N. Davis,
secretary of the Citizenship Commit
tee of the State Bar Association, whom
he said had aided greatly in bringing
about the ESSAY writing and the
awarding of the prizes for the same.
The awards were as follows: To Law
renee Z. Elliott, of Bridgeville High
School, the State prize Of $1OO and
also the $50 prize from the Sussex
County Bar Association. Miss Cath
crime O'Neill, of Wilmington, a stu
dent at the Ursuline Academy of Viii
mington, received the $50 prize given
by the New Castle County Bar Asso-
citation. Miss Florence f. Marker, Of
Harrington High School, was present
ed with the $50 prize from the Kent
County Bar Association, and Miss
Frances Clark, of Middletown High
School, was awarded the $50 prize
also given by the New Castle County
Bar Association to the rural high
school student for the best essay.

FIRE AT w. A. BROADWAY Farm
Destroys Combination Stable, Hay
House and Barn with over $4,000 Loss

House and Barn with over $4,000 Loss
The Smyrna and Clayton Fire Com
panies were called to the farm of Will
liam A. Broadway near the Bay, Fri
day afternoon where his stable, hay
house and barn, with contents, were
destroyed with a $4,000 loss on which
there was but $4,000 insurance. Mr..
Broadway was threshing his crop of
wheat and was nearly done when
Walter Voss drove up from the field
and stopped in front of two hay ricks.
just as he drove up it was discovered
his load of wheat in the Sheaf was on
fire. The men at the threshing rig
were quick to respond and had the fire
seemingly eXtinguished at one time
when the flames ignited to the straw
in the ricks and in a jiffy flames shot
up high beyond control Mr.. Broad
way had an alarm sent in and men
came from nearby farms to lend as
sistance. The stable, hay house and
barn, a combination building 40 60
feet was doomed and the men hardly
had time to get the stock out before
it fell a prey to flames. The thresh-
ing machine also burned and every
thing that could not be moved in time.
In the stable and barn were four tons
OF hay, between so and 60 bushels of
wheat, a lot of harness, a drill, a ran
dal and drag harrow, tomato rack,
wagon bed, Fairbanks scales and
other articles. The firemen, as soon
as they arrived, were unable to save
the burning structure and turned their
attention to the grainery and COW
she'd. This building was in close
proximity and would have fell a prey
to the flames too had it not been for
quick and heroic action. At one time
the residence of Mr.. Broadway was
threatened, but fortunately the wind
shifted and the home was saved !
Whether the fire occurred from Gig
arctic stump or a spark from the
threshing engine has not been fully
determined. Much sympathy is felt |
for Mr.. Broadway as the loss is al
most total. The $4,000 insurance |
will hardly pay for a roof much less a
new building to replace the one de- |
StrOyed.

collision between an automobile owned

former University of Delaware stu
dent, and a car driven by Frank A.
Wilson, of near Townsend, a we'll

wrecked and their occupants received
painful injuries. Hart was badly cut
and Mrs. Wilson Harriet, Emma Hart
and Elmer Blanchfifeld were cut and
bruised. Doctors from Middletown
dressed their injuries and they were
able to go to their homes. More ser
iOus consequences might have devel

had it not been for the timely arrival
on the scene of the accident of Miss
Josephine Cole, a trained nurse, who
was driving by in her automobile on
the way to the home of her father
nearby. Miss Coles timely first aid

Passing AutOist Extinguish Flames
Fire, supposed to have been caused
by an exploding torpedo or fire crack
er, ignited the double awning at the
residence of Mrs. Elmer Outten and
Lynford Outten, on South State street
Dover, Saturday noon. Occupants of
a passing automobile saw the fire and
jumped from their machine and start

woodwork on the porch. Norman
Walls, of Greensboro, Md, jumped
from his machine and using fire ex-
tinguisher which he had in his car,
eXtinguished the fire by the time the
Robbins Hose Company arrived. The
Outtens were away from home
