The individual who maintains that there was as much drunkenness in Juneau during the recent Fourth of July celebration as there ever was on similar occasion has an all-fired short memory. There was some drunkenness and a number of young boys, several years under their ma jority, who had moonshine in their possession, were apprehended. IT those boys were forced to tell from whom they obtained their supply, it would be a long step in the right direction. To violate the law by transaction that is wholly conducted by adults is bad enough but no pun ishment is too severe for those who deal with young boys.-Stroller's Weekly.

EXPLAIN HOW TO THAW
FROZEN WATER PIPES
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
Gives Simple Rules For Work

The middle of frozen pipe should
never be thawed first, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
because expansion of the water
confined by ice on both sides may
burst the pipe. When thawing a wa
ter pipe, work toward the supply,
opening a faucet to show when the
flow starts. When thawing a waste
or sewer pipe, work upward from
the lower end to permit the water
to drain away.
Applying boiling water or hot
cloths to frozen pipe is simple and
effective. Where there is no danger
of fire, a torch or burning newspa-
per run back and forth along the
frozen pipe gives quick results. I'm
derground or otherwise inaccessible
pipes may be thawed by opening
the frozen pipe on the house end,
inserting a small pipe or tube, and
with the aid of n funnel at the other
end of this small pipe, pouring boil
ing water into it, pushing it for
ward as the ice melts. More thaw
pine should he added at tho outer
end until a passage is made through
the ice, when the thaw pipe should
be quickly withdrawn.

PREDICT BALL WILL BE
SECRETARY OF STATE
''NO Vacancy At Present" Says Gov
ernOr Robinson

Much speculation is being indulg-
ed in among politicians as to what
action Governor Robinson will take
regarding a change in the Office of
the Secretary of State. Rumors are
rife that the present incumbent,
Miss Fannie S. Harrington, of Do
yer, who was named to the post of
Secretary following the death of
William G. Taylor, has offered her
resignation and will soon be replac-
ed. 1t is predicted that former Uni
ted States Senator L. Heisler Ball
will be named. Other names are
mentioned and speculated upon but
the more knowing ones cling to the
belief that Mr.. Ball will be chosen.
Governor Robinson was question
ed on Tuesday about the matter and
in his usual unperturbed manner
answered that There is no vacancy
in the Office of the Secretary of
State at present"
His reply, however, has not caus-
ed an end to the gossip and it is
pointed out that much significance
attaches to the last two words of
his reply, "at present"

SEVERE COLD WEATHER
BRINGS SKATING HERE
First Heavy Freeze OF Winter Finds
Lakes Covered With Ice

The severe frigid weather which
visited the eastern part of the coun-
try on Sunday, has caused suffering
in many sections of the eastern sea-
board. In Delaware the weather has
been frigid the entire week, and the
thermometer each day has registered
far below the normal for this sea-
son of the year. On Sunday morn
ing the official government ther-
mometer in Milford registered a
minimum of II degrees. The same
low reading was made on Monday.
Although the weather moderated
slightly there has been no great
break in the frigid conditions the
entire week, and at no time has the
temperature been above the freez-
ing mark. In Milford the lakes are
covered with a covering of ice sew
eral inches in thickness, and those
who enjoy skating have had real
sport for several days past. While
there is a scarcity of anthracite coal
here, the dealers have supplied all
customers with bituminous, and the
supply of wood has been ample to
eliminate all suffering as a result
of the extreme winter weather.

MILFORD FIREMEN CALLED
TO FIGHT RURAL FIRES
Firemen Suffered From Severe Cold
On Sunday Evening Run

The Carlisle Fire Company has
responded to three calls for assis-
tance from the rural districts dur
ing the past week. Last Thursday
morning they were called to the
home of Robert Herring, in Milford
Neck, where there was a chimney
fire. The blaze was out when the
firemen arrived.

were called to the farm owned by

anted by A. w. Wheatley. This farm
is located west of Frederick on the

fire had been burning, but that it
was about out. While at the Wheat
ley home they saw flames from an
other home which was burning.
They drove to the back farm, near
Little Heaven, owned by Samuel
Blocksom, of Philadelphia, where
they found the dwelling house prac-
tically burned to the ground. The
sparks had ignited the outbuildings
and they were a mass of flames and

came to the scene. The farm was
untenanted; the tenant having NOV

JAILED FOR KEEPING
SON OUT OF SCHOOL
Persistent Refusal To Comply
With School Laws Brings Jail
Sentence For Parent.

For the first time in the history OF
Delaware a father has been impris-
oned for failing to send his son to
school. The parent had the oppor-
tunity to present a legitimate eX-
cuse. for keeping his son away, but
he failed to do so and was fined
$3.50 or given the alternative of
serving Jail sentence, and he chose
the latter and was given two days in
the Dover Jail. But no one seemed to
mind the fact that he was penalized
for failure to live up to the laws
which he, through his residence in
this State, helped 10 make and so
far as can be learned there was lit
tie sympathy expressed, if any, be-
cause of the sentence.
The son of this man is nearly 16
years old, yet because he has been
kept out of school to help his fa-
ther with his business, he is now in
the third grade, whereas he ought to
be in his second year in high school.
The father when given an opportun-
ity to clear himself of the charge of
keeping his son at home, when he
should be in school refused and said
he needed him in his business.
When he refused to pay the fine he
was taken to the Dover Jail and lock-
ed up and released the next day.
According to the State Department
of Education, the parent and this
case is not a new one to the officials.
For five or six years there has been
constant trouble about this boy and
his father. Many efforts have been
made and for six years the parent
has been warned that he was break
ing the law and that some time he
would be penalized for failing to live
up to the statutes, but he always
laughed and ignored the law and
warnings. The past week, however,
it was decided to prosecute the sta
tute. In discussing this case and in
the plans of the State
Board of Education regarding at
DR.. Harry V. Holloway,
Commissioner of Education, said:
1--WE are gratified with the man
ner with which parents of children
the public schools of Della
ware have complied with the law.
it is only necessary to no
.ify parent that he is called upon
by the statutes to send his child to
school regularly, unless there is
