also shows an increase of 16.9 per
cent in the number of divorces grant
ed in the state during the last year,
the total being 207 as compared with
1T in 1924. The bureaus estimated
population of Delaware as of July 1,
1925, was 237, 7,637, and on July 1, 1924
235,086. On the basis of these es-
Inmates, the number of marriages per
1000 of the population was so per
cent in 1925, as compared with 5.3 in

ed to be. Postmaster Inspector Som
mers in reply stated that several
years ago when the rural routes were
laid out various methods were used to
measure a route, even long before the
automobile was used so extensively as
means of travel. Then the changes
in the building of roads would make
some difference in the mileage. He
further said that where a rural car
rier drove over a half mile more than
the specified number of miles on his
route, he was due compensation for
the extra mile. Postmaster Hudson
also made reference to the proper
packing Of shipments for mailing.
When called upon for new ideas
from the city, Postmaster Hickman
said he was trying to improve the ap-
pearance Of the city streets by NOV
ing the mail boxes off of the main
thoroughfares and was also substitut-
ing cement-reinforced posts for mail
boxes in lieu Of the present iron posts.
He also said that we have many visi-
tors to Delaware and that many boxes
in the various towns could be improv-
ed with coat of paint, thereby giving
the visitor much better impression
of the towns.
Postmaster Whitney, of Ellendale,
spoke Of the mail messenger service
from postotfice to station, and said the
service was very unsatisfactory due
to only one man being on duty at the
station, whose time was taken up with
other railroad work. Frequently it
was necessary to make several trips
to the station to get eff some impor-
tant mail. On being questioned as to
how far his postoffice was from the
station, he said 600 feet. r. o. In
spector Sommers said that the only
way to relieve the situation was to
move the postoffice out of the so rod
limit, then the Postoffice Department
would provide messenger service. He
said this service would be greatly i'm
proved upon Inauguration of the star
route from Harrington to Rehoboth
for all the first-class mail. The asso-
citation voiced its hearty approval of
the plan and highly complimented
Congressman Houston for his untir-
ing efforts together with the interest
ed patrons toward establishing this
route.
Acting upon the invitation of Post
office Inspector Sommers, who invited
those present to visit the Harrington
Office after adjournment, all accepted
the invitation and inspected the build
ing and equipment. He highly COM
plimented Postmaster Powell and told
the members they had here one of the
finest buildings in the state and that
every convenience was installed in the
office that could be allowed a postofice
Of this class.
Election Of officers for the ensuing
year then took place and resulted as
follows: President, E. r. Whitney,
Glendale; vice-president, w. B. Cul-
len, Clayton; secretary treasurer, J. ID.
Robbins, Milton, reelected. a vote
Of thanks was extended the retiring
president, and in reply he stated that
he had not made the best presiding
officer that they might have chosen,
but he had fulfilled the duties of his
office to the best of his ability. Presi-
dent-elect Whitney said in assuming
the presidents chair, he did not feel
that he could measure up to the out
going president, but that he desired

of the Speakers at Meeting Held in
| HarringtOn-TO Meet in RehOboth
The third annual session of the Del
aware League of Postmasters assem-
bled in the New Century Club at Har-
rington Thursday afternoon for their
annual meeting. For some unknown
reason number of the postmasters
who signifed their intention of being
present failed to arrive.
Postoffice Inspector Sommers and
Assistant Superintendent Of Mails
Trotter, of Wilmington, were present.
An interesting meeting was held and
the postmasters who were the guests
Of Postmaster Powell for dinner at
SWANS Hotel, made many compli-
mentary remarks in connection with
the dinner served by the hotel man
agement. Postmaster Powell proved
to be very capable host. Before ad-
journment, the league voted SIS to-
ward the expenses. President Stevens
of Delaware City called the session to
order at 2 p. m. The first order of
business was the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting by Sec
retary Robbins, of Milton. The min
utes were approved as read. AS Sec
retary Robbins is also treasurer of the
league he read his financial report.
The president called for roll call and
nineteen members of the league were
present. Postmaster Hickman com
plimented the local host on the ar
rangements and assured him that it
was one of the best meetings ever
held. An interesting feature of the
meeting was the fact that the post
masters from all the first-class post
offices in Delaware were present.
There are three: Leroy w. Hickman,
Wilmington; w. P. Satterfeld, Dover;
NJ. L. Davis, Milford.
A communication was read inviting
the postmasters from Delaware to
meeting in Philadelphia, to be held in
June, at which time Postmaster-Gen-
eral New, senators, congressman,p post
masters from Pennsylvania and other
states will be present.
Postmaster w. R. Risler, of Lincoln
was elected delegate, with Miss Ella
johnson of Newport, as alternate, to
the National League Of Postmasters'
Convention to be held in the west the
latter part of the summer.
An intensive campaign will be in
augurated during the coming year to
get all the postmasters in Delaware
associated with the league. The sec
retary had already sent out communi-
cations to the postmasters at Newark,
Georgetown, and Harrington The
Harrington postmaster was the only
one Of the committee to make re-
port.

plosion, I remember giving a turn to
get out of my hammock and the next
thing I knew I was falling. I landed
on my hands and knees and remained
still for a few moments. 1t was dark
ad could hear water rushing into
the ship. After feeling my legs to
see II they were broken l began to
feel around me. Everything was
iron and e terror gripped me for 1
thought I was down inside the ship
and could not get out, and that the
water would rush in and drown me.
when 1 "rally got my wits to-
gether enough to try to get out,
found that the smokestack had fallen
over me and was resting on the six
inch gun on the stlrboard side. That
| the surface, so in q short time I was
out and not being much injured,
Joined with others in rescuing our
| entrapped and injured comrades.
Later on most of US were taken
| to Key West and there assigned to
new duty. was among those de-
tailed to the battleship Texas and
was with her when she bombarded
Guantanamo and struck the mine
| that didn't go off. But If the mine
had gone off it would have found me
out on the top deck again, for 1 never
went below except when on duty.
Most Of the Maine boys are that way
and to this day we all Of us avoid
being shut up in any place. We want
nothing but the soft thin air above
US.
I'VE survivors were a nervous lot
: of men and orders were issued on
shipboard never to touch one of us
without first speaking to us. We
,, were shell-shocked, that was our
trouble, but they did not know as
, much about shell-shock then as they
do now or several of the Maine sur
vivors might have been cured and
| living happily today, instead OF
spending their last days in an insane
, asylum. And perhaps that heroic
Sergeant Bill Anthony who Informed
Captain Sigsbee that the ship was
sinking, would not have committed
suicide, and many Of his comrades
done likewise, If better methods OF
! treating such cases had been known.
But Them" Mr.. Galpin concluded,
IT guess we could not expect much
attention when we proved ourselves
still able and willing to fight. Take
for instance my own case in which
records show that after having been
| blown up on the Maine 1 served
through three wars, the war with
Spain, the Philippine insurrection,
and the Boxer Rebellion. And now
at the age of 46 my service in the
| Marines is over and I have been
given a pension for lumbago. When
it fs not lumbago but the wrecking
of my nervous system on the Maine
that is all that keeps me from being
well advanced in business career"
Asked If he ever saw his comrades
Of the Maine, Mr.. Galpin replied
with Just a trife of longing in his
tone, mo, I don't see any of them,
except occasionally when one comes
| to the Bureau about a pension,
which Is very seldom. I wish,
though" he continued, that we
could all get together once more.
Perhaps we can sometime. The rail-
roads let us travel on such occa-
sions for half fare but many of the
men are almost in destitute circum-
stances and would have to be pro-
vided with the other half OF their
fare also. Yes, wish we could
meets again. The officers of the
Maine have been meeting each year
