Special Program September 2O-Four
Delaware Women to Be Honored


Miss Annie Jump Cannon, formerly
Of Dover, astronomer, Miss Emily
Perkins Bissell, outstanding in well
fare work; Mrs. A. D. Warner, active
in education, and Mrs. T. Coleman du-
Pont, prominent in the work of the
Community Service and the Y. w.
CA, have been selected to be signally
honored on Delaware Day." Septem-
Der 20, at the Sssqui-C Centennial In
ternational Exposition in Philadelphia.
These women who have been selected
as outstanding in their lines of en-
deavor were the choice of Governor
Robert P. Robinson, Mrs. Donald S.
Ashbrook, of Wilmington, and Mrs.
Harry w. Viven, of Bridgeville, who
are representing Delaware on the
Women'S Committee of the Women's
Board of the exposition. A special
program will mark the occasion, and
it is hoped to have the honored Della
wareans present on the occasion. Be
sides the Governor there will be other
distinguished citizens of the State as
speakers. There will be a reception
in the afternoon and a Delaware State
flag will be presented to the women's
board of the Sesqui. This flag will be
80 by 46 inches. All States in the
Union are contributing similar flags

way surfaces on the Peninsula are of
standard second to none. The high
ways are wide and even where they
have not been extended to a width
which would permit passage of three
cars or more at given point, the
shoulders are extremely well kept up
and are solid, permitting a car to
leave the concrete, if forced to do so,
and still be on a level and smooth
earth foundation.
Official recognition of the Del-Mar-
Va Trail by the A. A. A. will natur-
ally bring national attention to, the
Peninsula Highway System and direct
thousands of motorists over this
route. With the several entrances to
the Peninsula including the ferry ser
vice from Baltimore to Love Point and
colchester Beach and with the pro-
posed ferry service from the Cape
May Point to Lewes, and the estab-
lished route from Norfolk and Old
Point Comfort to Cape Charles, the
way is made open for motorists from
every section to reach the Del-Mar-Va
Trail.
In the opinion of officials of the Del
Mar-Va Association action by the Am
erican Automobile Association in pro-
noting the Del-Mar-Va Trail will
naturally necessitate increased and
improved service on the ferry lines.
This question is already being serious
" considered as it will be big factor
in making the through trips.

DECIDE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
Legal Tangle Over in CentreviIle, Md,
Requires Expert Opinion TO Settle

An interesting legal tangle, involv-
ing the ownership Of the old Arlett
property, Centreville, Nd, was un-
raveled recently by Judges William
Fl. Adkins, Thomas J. Keating and
levin w. Wickes, Of the Second Judi
cial Circuit, when they lei an opinion
and decree with the County Clerk,
ruling that the ownership Of the prop
erty is properly vested in Mrs. Mary
C. Jump, widow Of G. Sydney Jump,
of Centreville. The plaintiff in the
case was Aaron NJ. Arlett, brother Of
Mrs. Annie E. Connolly, who held a
life interest in the estate. Madison
Brown was attorney for Mr.. Arlett
and Mrs. Jump was represented by j.
H. G. Legg. Considerable local inter
est has been manifested N the compli-
Gated legal tangle, due to the age of
the old building and to the fact that
plaintiff and defendant both are
among the oldest Of Centreville's in
habitants. The home originally was
owned by Mary Lowe, who died in
1861. She left a will, dated May 81,
1860, in which she left the home to
Mrs. Connolly for her life time, with
the provision that if she died without
direct heirs, the property should re-
vert to James and Sidney Jump.
James Jump died many years ago,and
more recently Sydney Jump also died.
The court ruled, however, that the
widow Of Sydney Jump should receive
the property, Mrs. Connolly having
died early this year.

especially personal about the gift that
