,trated so that motorists into whose
hands the booklet may have some linn
tied idea Of the treat in store for
them, even before they pay their visit
to Delaware. A map is given show
ing the system of state roads and the
towns through which they pass, with
information as how to travel on the
way to southern points or the sea-
shore resorts. One picture, "The End
of a Perfect Day." shows the days
quarry of a couple Of hunters. An
other shows a catch of fish off Little
Creek and a third gives a view of the
fishing grounds at Bowers Beach.
Several highway views are shown and
illustrations of historic points of in
terest are presented, including Old
Swedes' Church, Old College Hall, at
the University of Delaware, the State
House at Dover, Old Drawers Church
near Odessa, the HenlOpen lighthouse,
abandoned now after serving since
Colonial Days; Barratt's Chapel, the
cradle of Methodism, below Dover and
Old Christ Church at Laurel
Civic views include Rodney Square
at Wilmington with the dupont build
ing and the Wilmington Institute Free
Library in the background. Washing
ton Memorial Bridge.
Realizing that much of the con
tents of the booklet is of interest tC
Delawareans as we'll as those living
outside, it is planned to republish il
future issues from time to time som,
of the more absorbing information
which the booklet contains. In thi
way the people living here may hell
in this broad movement of advertising
Delaware to the outside world by frs
informing themselves and then pass
ing it out in their conversation an
letters to relatives or friends living il
other communities.

w. +. Matthews, Jr., Hears From s
States on Write-up in Legion Weekly
The splendid achievement of David
c. Harrison Post, No. Ia, American
Legion, of Smyrna, in putting across
a drive for an ambulance and pre-
senting it to Smyrna was given
write-up in the National Legion Week
ly recently and so popular has the
idea become that other Posts in other
states want to emulate Smyrna Post
and are seeking information on how
| the Smyrna veterans did it. w. f..
Matthews, Jr., Commander of the To-
cal post has heard from eight differ
ent states already. His latest was
from Congressman A. Piatt Andrew
of Gloucester, Mass. The letter which
is a fine tribute to our Smyrna boys
is as follows:
Dear Commander and Comrade: Having
| read the account in the recent Legion Weekly
| of what your Post has done in presenting a
motor ambulance to the town of Smyrna. the

10 the City Of Gloucester. thru their efforts
a similar ambulance. They have asked me
TO write to you for any suggestions you may
have to otter as TO where such an ambulance
can be procured and TO what arrangements
| your experience either before or after the
| purchase would indicate advisable.
Il shall keep whatever advice you may b,
able TO give as strckly confidential. but ",

tion thinking they have set so fine an ex

Swain, to Discontinue Duties August
The office of State Prohibition Di-
rector for Delaware will be abolished
on August /, under the radical reOr-
ganization of prohibition enforcement
as announced by Treasury department
on Tuesday of last week. The office
and title of all state directors are to
be abolished on August /.
This means that Director William
J. Swain will 90 out Of Office unless
he is retained in some capacity under
the new plan. Delaware will be in
cluded in the seventh district which
is to include Maryland, Virginia and
the District of Columbia, with head
quarters in Baltimore.
The formal announcement came
from Secretary Mellon with "The un-
qualified approval of the President" 3"
This was supplemented by L. c. An
derson, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, in charge of prohibition
enforcement.
The country will be divided into
districts and an administrator will be
placed in charge of each district, who
will be held responsible for enforce
ment, assuming the duties existing
Directors and Divisional Chiefs.
1t was understood that some of the
state directors of the prohibition un

it is possible that some of Mr.. Swain.

in the Baltimore Office.
Trained detectives and eXper
chemists operating in twenty-five sep

of twenty-five prohibition administra

Each prohibition administrator wi

The new staff, which will be smaI

cumbersome crowd of agents now en-

CHESTER PIKE TO BE wIDENED
Above Chester the Trolley Tracks Are
To Be Placed in the Middle of Road

After a controversy that lasted two
years, the nine municipalities and the
street railway company have reached
an agreement on the improvement of
Chester pike, between Chester and
Philadelphia. The nine municipalities,
consisting of CollingdaIe, Sharon Hill,
Falcroft, Glenolden, Norwood, Pros
pect Park, Ridley Park, Eddystone
and Ridley township, passed the
necessary legislation Immediately and
will appeal to the Pennsylvania Pub
lie Service Commission to approve the
railway ordinance so work can be
started by July l. The work will con

between Chester and Darby, for dis
tance of six and one-half miles to a
width of So feet The trolley tracks
are to be placed in the centre of the
road, with a 20foot paved roadbed,
which will leave a driveway on each
side of 1712 feet, with a concrete curb.
This work will be paid for jointly by
the State of Pennsylvania, Delaware
county and the street railway com
pany and will total an outlay of APP
proximately $1,OOO,OOO But the fly
in the ointment, as far as Delaware
and other southern motorists, as well
as northern motorists who drive south
are concerned will be the connecting
link between the splendid pike con
Meeting Wilmington and Marcus Hook
and the proposed new road above
Chester. The meanest place now j,
between the lower end of Marcu,
Hook and Chester, where the roadway
is very narrow and treacherous. i
seems strange to many persons tha
the group of Pennsylvania municipal
tiles centerng about Chester do no
provide a good, safe road as con
Meeting link between the Wilmington
and Philadelphia boulevards. The beS
Immediate solution of that problem
it would seem, would be to pave tn
road running from Naaman's roa'
which is of concrete, passing in from
of Lawncroft cemetery, to the stree
in Chester with which it is connected
much of which has been newly paved

Father Alleged to Have Beat Her

Alleging that her father, Robert A.
Stuart, of Seaford, beat her repeat
edly, Martha L. Stuart, aged "a years,
went to Georgetown last week and
swore out a warrant for his arrest.
A hearing took place when Magistrate
Wilson dismissed the father and sent
the girl to the Delaware Colony, the
feeble-minded institution, located at
Stockley, four miles south of George
town. From the facts as were gath
cred at the hearing, the girl has been
incorrigible for some time and has
been staying out late at night, thus
causing her parents much worry and
trouble. Efforts to correct her, il
seems, have proven futile.

PROSPECT GOOD FOR APPLES
Early Apples Appear Better Than
Last Year and Crop Will Be Larger


Last Year and Crop Will Be Larger
w. T. DerricksOn, Director Of the
State Bureau Of Markets, has sent out
several hundred letters to out-of-State
buyers and dealers, advising them
that Delaware expects to have one Of
the finest quality early apple crops
that it has ever produced While the
quantity this year viii be somewhat
less than last year-850 cars of early
apples-the quality will more than
compensate for the shortage Of this
years crop. The early apple crop in
the State this year will begin to move
about the first week in July, with
Yellow Transparent, Williams Early
Red, Fourth Of July, Early Ripe and
Red Astrachan, as the chief varieties.
In many orchards the crop is not 50
heavy as last year, but the trees are
in excellent condition, showing the ef-
feet of cultivation, fertilization and
spraying. The fruit at this. time is
also apparently free from insect in
iuries, scab or other defects Mr..
Derrickson also states that a larger
percentage Of growers and dealers Will
take advantage of the official shipping
inspection service this year than ever
before. This inspection is done joint
ly by the State Department and the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics at
Washington and official certificates
are issued on all cars inspected. The
Bureau of Markets does not sell, but
assists in the marketing Of Delaware
( products. The bureau offers to fur
nish names Of reliable growers anC
shippers Of apples in the state. Di-
rector Derrickson has just returned
from a trip through the State eXamin
ing orchards and vegetables, anC
found conditions favorable, notwith
standing the extreme dry weathe
which is interfering with the prOgres
of the products.

PROFIT IN STRAWBERRY CROP
Some Down State Growers Were Ia.

The strawberry season, recer.-

many growers down the state. esDa,.
tally at Bridgeville. Other, were pa.
50 fortunate. Some berry ps.c,a.
were not severely damaged by frost,
and also withstood the dry weather
and as a result many acre Of straw.
berries in this section netted the grow.
ers five to six hundred dollars an acre
and in a few cases up to eigh. hun.
dred dollars an acre. There we-.
about $50 car loads at Brdgev.rs
Blackberries are now on, and sell.D.
high, and Transparent apple, will b
on in about one week. A drought h3
prevailed in lower Delaware for ,sv
eral weeks and it is remarkable how
we'll the crops have withstood the lac.
of rain. But there has been a lit.
more rain there than at some othe
points in the county.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON INVITES
AUTO TOURISTS TO DELAWARE
IN AN ATTRACTIVE BOOKLET
STATE ATTRACTIONS ARE TOLD
Delaware Traffic Rules Explained and
Instructions Are Given For Ask
ing Aid From the Police

Most Delawareans look upon their
own state as the garden spot of the
world. To the ual visitor they do
not hesitate to enlarge upon its
beauties and opportunities. Hereto
fore no organized effort has been
made, however, to advertise Della
ware in black and white as a paradise
for motorists and residents of the ad-
jacent states to visit for day outings
and week-ends. This is now to be
done in an attractive booklet which is
just off the presses and is being dis
tributed to $4,000 motorists in cities
and smaller communities of PennSyl-
vania, Maryland, New Jersey and 9TH
er parts of the surrounding country,
within reach for day or weekend Wis
its.
This undertaking, which has the
support of state, city and county Of
| ficials as we'll as business and indus
trial interests in various parts of the
state, is believed to be one of the
most constructive moves in late years
to forward the affairs of the Diamond
State, for not only is there direct bus
mess possibilities for Delaware inter
eSts in every carload of passengers
who come here from outside points
for visitors but if the state appeals to
them as a place to live, to do business
or engage in manufacturing enterpris-
es, Delaware must reap some benefit
from any one of these resultant de-
velopments.
How hearty is the welcome which
Delaware is extending to mOtorist!
everywhere to come here for visits j.
indicated by the invitation of Della
ware, which appears in the early par
of the little booklet. 1t reads as fol
lows:
Governor RObinsOn's Invitation
"On behalf of the citizens of tn
First State in the Union, which still
retains many of the interesting build
ings and homes erected prior to tn
War of the Revolution, | extend
most cordial welcome to come to Del
aware and see us.
.. Delaware has, in Cooch's Bridge
: the site upon which the Stars an
r Stripes were first unfurled in battle
and there are besides many historica
places which every patriot should SCI
:, at was here the Swedes first lane
ed in America. William Penn got h
first glimpse of the new world on De
I aware soil.
"The charm and beauty and the d'
lightful climate that attracted thos
hardy settlers two hundred years ag
still exist and contribute toward NAL
ing Delaware such a fine Common
8 wealth in which to live. Every know
" agricultural product that man is ca
st able of producing, with the eXceptiC
= of tropical and citrus fruits, is grow
I'd in Delaware.

$4,000 Damage by Fire
In Main st. Building

The department had not settled
down at the FIRE houses when the
second bad fire of the night broke
out at the Quality bakery at 147
Main street. An oven became over
heated and set fire to the partitions.
As the building In which the bakery
Is located was an old one, the flames
spread with amazing rapidity and
when the recall was sounded, about
$4,000 damage was done.
The stock OF the Marion Hat Shop,
which occupies the upper part Of the
building, was total loss from
smoke, Chief Noble estimating the
damage there at about $1,000. A
delicatessen store on the north side
OF the bakery and the Wedding Ring
shop on the south side suffered from
smoke damage.
An alarm from Box Z was sent in
for the blaze about II o'clock and
when the apparatus arrived, the rear
OF the bakery was mass OF flames.
Hose lines were turned into the
building and the fire was shortly
under control. The property is on
the site to be occupied by a new
theater and was scheduled TO be
RACED in the near futures
