KINGS BILL SEEKS
PATRONAGE PROBE
Utah Senator Asks Charges
Against Republicans
Be Investigated.

By the Associated Press.
A new move for a Senate investiga.
ton of long smouldering charges of
the sale of Federal patronage by Re
publicanS was made yesterday by
Senator King, Democrat, Utah, who
offered a resolution for an inquiry by
a select committee.
His resolution. along with a some
what similar one offered Friday BY
Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia,
will be considered by the judiciary
committee at a special session Mon
day to determine if an investiga ion
is warranted
Both resolutions provide for a ma
tlonal inquiry with particular atten-
ton to the South, where it has been
charged by Democrats in and out of
Congress that Republican officials
have sold postoffice and other Ledn1 II
patronage.
The King proposal declared that 1T
has been charged that members of

COPELAND MOVES
IN M'K|NLEY ROW
introduces Bill to Stop Com
missioners From Erecting
Separate Heating Unit.

The effort of property owners ir
lexington to prevent the Commits.
sioners from erecting a heating plant
for the new Mckinley High School at
the corner of Second and r streets
northeast, was brought to the atten-
ton of Congress yesterday
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York introduced a bill in the
Senate which would have the effect
Of requiring the city heads to enlarge
the existing heating plant in the rear
of the Langley Junior High School to
take care of the heating Of the new
Mckinley, instead of building a sep
arate heating plant for the new high
school.
Language of Bill.
The language of the bill is as fol-
lows:
THAT no part of the appropriation
made for Mckinley High School shall
be used for the construction of heat
ing plant at or adjacent to Secon5
and r streets northeast, but shall be
available for extension and expansion
of the heating plant of the Langle,
Junior High School,
The new Mckinley is being erected
oil d large tract OF Ianu along SecOnC
street from r to T streets, just cas-
of the Langley building.
To District Committee.
When the matter was made tn.
subject of a hearing before the Sen.
ate District committee last Summer
Senator Copeland took the position
that the municipal officials should not
build separate heating plant for tn,
new high school on one of the corner
OF the site. when the existing plant in
the center of the tract could be en-
larged and thus avoid the objections
raised by the residents of that vicin.
ity.
The bill which he introduced yester-
day carries out that thought. It was
referred to the District committee for
report.

JUNIOR SHORT COURSE ENDED
Thirty Boys and Girls Return From
Week at University of Delaware

Kent County was represented by
thirty boys and girls at the Junior
Short Course held at the University
Of Delaware this past week. This was
quite the best group of young people
both in numbers and in their fine
spirit, that has ever attended the
Short Course from this county. The
increased number in attendance was
made possible by the interest shown
by the banks and organizations in the
county. The proposition of scholar
ships was presented to the banks as
an investment-an investment in the
youth Of the county and the majority
of them, looking at it in that light,
sent boy or a girl to Newark for
the week-there to give Of their tai
ents and their spirit to make the Short
Course the best ever held in the
State and to bring home to their clubs
and their committees the help and in
spiration which they had received
from contact with other club boys and
girls in the State. The mornings and
afternoons were taken up with demon
strations and tours. For the girls,
there was a jelly demonstration BY
Miss Sydney Evans of the Douglas
Bectin Company, sewing machine
demonstration by Singer sewing ma
chine representative. Miss Helen
Comstock, Kent County Club Agent,
gave two demonstrations of stenciling.
This gave an opportunity for each Of
the fifty-fve girls in attendance to
take home a hand-printed handker-
chief. Miss Anne B. Moore, Sussex
County Club Agent conducted ma
ture study tour for all. This took
the form of a contest to see who could
identify the most trees and wild flow
ers. The Poultry Club members found
that the lectures and demonstrations
by Mr.. Hoke S. Palmer, Poultry Spec
ialist, would be of real benefit to them
when they came back to their homes.
The boys went on tours Of inspection
Of the crop plots, dairy herd, and
swine. Probably the most popular
spot on the campus was the swimming
pool with Mr.. M. G. Vaughn, Sussex
County Agricultural Agent, and Mr..
Ed Willim, New Castle County Club
Agent, in charge. On Thursday after
noon, the entire group visited Long
wood. For the majority, it was the
first visit, which made it the more en-
joyable. It gave them a vision of the
possibilities for decoration of the
flowers that grow around them

The light registration in some
parts Of the State to qualify for
voting at the November election
is causing many politicians to
wonder just what is the trouble.
Reasons and explanations are
advanced to account for the
large falling off from that of
two years ago. The hot wealth
er theory is advanced by some.
Others believe that the vacation
season had much to do with it.
There are others who think that
the off year is the cause. 1t is
possible, however, that the real
cause is the belief on the part
Of hundreds Of voters in each
district that the new registra-
tion laws relieve them Of the
duty Of registering. This is
borne out by talks with many
who failed to register the first
day. The permanent registra-
tion laws relieve them of the OBJ
obligation to register after
this year. Once registered and
placed on the new registration
books the voter does not have to
register again unless he fails to
vote OF changes his residence.
To get on the registration list
and vote you must register this
year. There are three more days
Oh which the voter may qualify

18 and October 16. Only those
who are registered on August IA
can vote at the primaries Of

Smyrna Town Council has be-
gun a street cleaning campaign.
Besides the brick and mecadam
streets, dirt streets will be
scraped and grass and weeds re-
moved from cutters. Along with
this campaign for a more clean
", beautiful town, property own
ers and tenants can cooperate
by having their yards and lots
moved Of weeds and seeing that
premises are cleaned of rubbish.
There is nothing that attracts
the attention Of tourists and
strangers who visit our town
more than clean streets and
clean well kept properties. And
right here Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil can add to the appearance to
the entrance from the Boulevard
at South Main Street, when the
new concrete section is open,
by having the dump heap be-
tween said South Main Street
and the Boulevard covered with
several loads of dirt. 1t is true
the filling in Of this section is
done for purpose, that is to
eventually beautify the sur
roundings to Lake Como, but
while it is being done better care
of unsightly tin cans and rub
bish can be made by mixing it
with a covering of dirt now and
then to keep it down. Tourists
get a bad impression of Smyrna
to see a dump heap exposed
right at beautiful Lake Como
entrance and this can in a mea-
sure be remedied by a little care
and vigilance on the part of
