The State Highway Commits
sion Of Delaware has started to
remedy an unforeseen condition
which has developed in the past
two years, by traffic on the main
boulevards. From north to south
the great DUPONT Boulevard is
not of sufficient width to accom-
podate the traffic, and that
highway is now being widened
at the points where the greatest
congestions exist. This means
a great expenditure Of money ;
but, it will pay large returns to
the people Of Delaware, as well
as the peninsula.

The hog is a very large part
of the production of all Della
ware FARMS, for it supplies the
homes with both meat and lard
for family use, in addition to the
great quantities of pork sold for
cash to local butchers and
slaughter houses in the cities.
For this reason, as well as for
financial profit, farmers and
growers Of hogs in Delaware,
must take all precautions
against loss of hogs from dis
ease.
If hog cholera breaks out in
the neighborhood, f arm
whose hogs are not affected
should maintain a strict quaran-
tine against the infected herds.
1t is important that they refrain
from visiting farms where the
diseased hogs are located. They
should also insist that their
neighbors stay out of their hog
lots, since the hog cholera virus
may be carried on the shoes Of
humans. The infection may be
carried from farm to farm by
moving animals such as dogs or
by movable objects such as farm
implements. Therefore, the
spreading Of the disease should
be guarded against as far as
possible. The most dependable
precautionary measure against
the disease, however, is immun-
ization Of the herd with anti
hog-cholera serum.
1t is a personal matter for
each farmer to protect himself
from loss in money as well as
money value, by using practical
common sense and having the
hogs on his farm or lots, inocu-
lated with anti-hog-cholera toX-
in. Safeguard and enlarge this
important part of your money
revenue source. Few growers,
or the ordinary farmer, give
more than a passing thought to
the hogs on their farms, and fail
to look after their health; or
protect themselves from loss by
their death. 1t costs some mon.
ey to immunize the hog; but il
pays in actual money to insure
its life just the same.-MilforC

Nose Out South Church by One

Church League Standing

The St. Matthew's German Luth- erans forged into sole possession ot first place in the Inter-Church basketball league Saturday night by squeezing out 27-26 victory over the South Congregational church at the Y. NJ. c. A. in game which was packed with thrills throughout. The spectacular shooting of "Goody'' Preisser was mainly responsible for the triumph. the St. Matt captain tossing in field goals from all angles and at distances well outside the South church tivo-man defense. The game was one Of the fastest yet played in the league, and the crowd, which was the largest of the year, reacted 10 the speed and root cd vociferously. keeping the gym in a constant uproar.
 The losers made q quick start. Mercy taking taps for two scores within 15 seconds. but the Goody found his eye and in bewildering succession arched four goals through the hoop from far out In tho court and sending his team into the lead. Here it remained during the first half which closed with the score 13-S.
 The South church rallied in the second perod. Bell unlimbering his siege gun to plunk in scores from distances that at least equallod Goody's. but he could not do il so frequently. The play grew faster as the end drew near. the South church twice tying the score but never being able to actually gain inc upper hand. Just as the final whistle sounded Parker sank long one. but it fell one point short of evening the count and the St Matts had won the most bitterly contested game of the season.
 Goody Preisser was the individual star Of the contest, getting la points himself and engineering the plays which led to most of the oth- pr scores. Lcnz showed improve m"nt over the previous week and tossed four field goals. while Beck ert again played q tenacious defen- sive game. The Morey-Bell com bination kept the South church in inc game with brilliant passing and hsooting but ii was not quite enough to overcome the St Matts as the latter were playing Saturday night. The only department in which the winners were weak was in foul shooting. for they sank but out Of 3. tries. The score:

 of the floor he made his teams ! 18th point. McCann was just get

He passed it to Pinto, who made the count Is to If, New Britain, The heat of the battle was too much for New Britain and Captain Zale- ski asked for time out while his teammates regained their wind. Another basket was scored by another of the Saints. who seemed to be on the road to victory. The stand decked with the St. Thomas students roared their approval as cheer after cheer was sounded for the scoring fools. Another basket was made by Pinto. Cries of Stop that man." were sounded from the small group of fans who hung on'' on the trip to and from Hartford, They had something to cheer about when Captain Zaleski tossed in a uoupic COuHlcT lO lle lIle score aL 16.
 Alanskas made field goal, but Zaleski came through again and the score was tied at IS all. Time was called by St. Thomas. They decided to change the guards in an attempt to stop Zaleski. Six min- utes were left to play.
 The boys resumed their places on the floor knowing that this would be their last stand. Both teams knew that within the next six minutes the winner would be decided. Alanskas and Pinto went on a scoring spree and, according to the book of Official Scorer "Petey" Saunders, the count was 22 to IS. Zaleski again came through for a. two pointer and within two. and half minutes of the finish, Havlick tied the score with a shot from the side of tho court.

An intercepted pass and the Hartford team was again heading for the north goal. The ball went outside; Scully went out and threw 1t In. In a mixup Referee Manion pried two men apart and called for jump. The inevitable McCann was there again. He missed a com- paratively easy shot. A long pass to the New Britain side of the floor and Bromberg followed 1t up.

The circuit is expected to vote for Landis as a unit.
 But the magnates of both leagrcs are chattng under the benevolent despotism" of Commissioner Landis, the New York World said today Dissatisfaction is felt over the be- lief that the high commissioner has ignored the existence of the advis- ory council. for no meeting has been called in the past two years, the paper said.
 While club owners cannot be quoted in criticism Of each other or Commissioner Landis under their mutual agreement, the magnates were represented aS considering the suggestion of "stcering commit tee" to advise with the commission cr during the off-season for joint meetings. The advisory council consists of Commissioner Landis. President John Hcydler. Of the Ma tional league. and Nicc-President Frank Navin of the American league who replaced Ban Johnson.

.NAUGATUCK LOSES
 ID NEW BRITAIN
NybOrg Is High Scorer in Con- test Between Y. M. (. A. Teams

The Naugatuck "" team tha' defeated the Yale junior varsity basketball team a week ago put ur stellar brand of basketball in the last half of the game against the local "Y' team Saturday night. bu; could not overcome the lead regis tered against them in the first pe- riod. Naugatuck handled the ball beautifully; the passwork was snappy and the players advanced the ball down the floor neatly only to lose it by poor shooting. Against less aggressive and poorer defensive team the visitors would have run up big score. | The local "Y" team five man de- fense broke up the visitors offen- sive whenever they threatened to break through.
 New Britain's ability to follow the ball and goal shooting accuracy proved too much for Naugatuck. Nyberg of the local team had big night scoring six field goals and five free tries. Bengston and the Luke brothers heaved them in from difficult angles while Yapkaska, Sake, Demarest and Chief" Larson forced Naugatuck to take hurried shots for the goal.
 Foley, center for the Naugatuck team, got going in the second pe- rod. heaving in three field shots and making good six times from the free throw line on II times up. Sullivan, left forward on the same team, slipped in three pretty field goals from the middle of the court. The score at half time was, New Britain 20. Naugatuck 6. Tn the second half, which was full of des- perate action on the part of the visitors, both teams scored seven field goals. Saugatuck- outscored the local team from the free throw line with seven successful trys to New Britain's two.
 Because of close guarding many personal fouls were registered against the players. Seventeen per sonals were called on New Britain and 10 on the visitors. Three tech nical fouls were committed by the visitors in talking back to the referee.

It was the first game for the losers. while the Iethodists had 2. new combination on the floor. these circumstances cX- planning the spOtty work of both teams. The Methodists had power in sulliciency but could not keep in nigh, misfing shots and passes frc- quontly, while the Center church team showed lack Of coordination; these difficulties will be overcome as the season progresses,
 Verne Braddon started the Meth ouists with g loul point, and then Allcn Hewett broke through for q rair of double q, ckers. Howe gave the losers d beginning with shot from the frce-throW strip, but the Center church could not ovcrlake its aIversaries and the ha'f ended with the score 2o-l1.
