ANNIVERSARY OF

Button, button, who's got the

VIII recall as having played in their
youthful days, were brought to
mind on March 10, when a button
with a big numeral fifty" was dis
erfbuted to the 30O,0 employees of
the Bell system to commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary of the invention
of the telephone.
Telephone people throughout the
world in general and the United
States in particular. on that day
paid honor to Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor of the telephone, and

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
OVERCROWDED

That some. definite limit be put
on the number OF new students adj
mitted to the University of Della
ware, at Newark, in the immediate
future is considered necessity by
President Hullihen, according to his
report to the Board of Trustees.
Overcrowded conditions at both
colleges in the University resulting
from the steadily increasing enroll
ment, is given as the principal cause
for action.
The total enrolment, DR.. Hullihen
reports is 672 students, 378 in
Delaware College and 294 in the
Women's College. The Withdrawals
during the year it is pointed out
were comparatively few and the
percentage dropped because of poor
class standing was also small COM
pared with previous years and also
with other colleges.

EASTERN SHORE RAT
CROP
CROP

With the end of the muskrat sea-
son near, March 15) persons in
terested In the industry are begin
ming to figure up what the crop
will bring this year and how results
compare with seasons of former
years.
The explanation has been that
during exceedingly dry weather last
summer many of the rats died for
lack of water. Others have in
clined to the belief that the Eastern
Shore marsh rabbit" faced extinc-
ton for the same reason as the
Chesapeake Bay oyster, namely,
that too many had been caught
though others still have thought
that a few years ago number OF
rsts died from some cause unknown
even to those who have spent their
lives trapping them.
One OF the largest buyers in Dor
chester declares the catch OF rats
this season will be about three-tifths
of that of last year, but the cash
value of the crop will run a little
better because of the higher price of
pelts, which are now bringing on
the market from $3.50 to $1.65,
according to quality.
The crop last season is said to
have brought in about 100000 in
Dorchester alone. This year 1T is
said that s35Q,OO0 will be about the
figure.
While this sounds discouraging, a
few years ago rat pelts sold none
too readily for SO cents and the
meat could be bought for cents
each retail Nowadays, the meat
brings from Is to 20 cents, and dur
ing a goodly part of this season they
we're none too plentiful at the latter
figure.
A score of years ago the crop of
the county was thought to- have
made a good return when it brought
in 100000.

WOULD, FIX LIMIT OF 25
 YEARS ON LIFE OF LAWS

New York.-The suggestion of Governor Moore to the MewsY ork leg islature that all laws carry automatic time limits by which they would be repealed when they had served their purpose has brought to light. nation- wide movement to make 25 years the life time" of all statutes
 The governor in his inaugural ad- dress said that "to real all the laws of the United States would take eight years and four months, reading eight. hours every day, including Sundays and holidays" The movement, it's sponsors asserted, aims to remedy this condition by shortening laws so that laymen can grasp them.
 Jay. B. E. Smith, editor of law pub lications of the U. S., Corporation of New York, and former assistant sec retary of state of New Jersey, one of the promoterstof the plan, said that thirty-four governors ot states had responded promptly anndn nfavorably to it and 140 chambers of commerce have taken 1t up.
 "A general repeating act was pro- posed by Glen B. Winship, of West field" N. J., declared Mr. Smith. This act provides for the automatic repeal of ali statutes when they have been on the books twenty years, and is intended as preliminary to pro- posed amendment to make constitu- tions fixing a quarter century as the maximum life of aiI'legislative stat utes"
 If carried out, Mr. Smith added, this plan would wipe out"thousands of archaic and unenforced statutes now cluttering the law books, while not af- fecting the common law.see.
