Legality Of 1925
Census Questioned

Validity of the 1925 state census
on the ground that the legislature
made no appropriation for it is hard
~ questionable, Secretary Of State
Robert Byrne said today.
Whether or not the census was
legal has been questioned. according
to reports here. in case at CARING
ton. where an effort is being made to
combine two county offices. Under
the law certain offices may be COM
hincd if the county's population falls
below q certain number.
The only appropriation made for

item Of 5000 for clerk hire. Bryne

the present-day Chesapeake Bay dog.
1t is descended from two NeWfound-
land dogs which were brought to the
Chesapeake in sailing vessels. BE-

In some points it is somewhat
like its Newfoundland progenitors,

.HENLOPEN LIGHT
CRASHES INTO SEA
Historic Old Landmark Fell On
Tuesday---Was Abandoned Two
Years Ago.

Historic Cape Henlopen Light
house, on the Delaware Bay, two
miles south of LeWes, cT'umbled and
tOppled into the sea shortly after
noon on Tuesday.
A northeast gale, with the aid of
an unusually high tide, encompass
ed the destruction of the pre-RevO-
lutionary structure. HenlOpen was
the second oldest lighthouse on the
Atlantic Coast. 1t was built by the
British in 1865, few years after the
construction of the light at Cape
Henry.
No one was on the narrow tongue
of land to witness the losing fight
against the winds and tides. For two
years Henlopen had been abandoned
and for several months it had been
leaning eighteen feet out of perpen-
dicular.
Shortly before 1 o'clock a member
of the Lewes Coast Guard heard a
roaring sound and, training his
glasses on the Cape, he saw the
lighthouse fall over into the water.
The old keepers house, which was
detached, also is being cut away by
the waves and is expected to meet a
like fate very soon.
In 1889 the English brig De Braak
carrying letters of marque and re-
prisal against Napoleon and equip
ped for a privateering expedition
capsized in a gale within sight OF
the lighthouse and all her crew was
lost. The grave of her Irish cap
tain, John Drew, is at Lewes, his
body having been washed ashore
twenty-four hours after the tragedy
One of the last dramas within
sight of the lighthouse was during
the World War in 1918, when the
oil tanker William Pratt was sunl
by a U-boat. It's rays shone for the
last time on September 80, 1924
when the Government opened a new
steel lighthouse nearby.

Schools In Delaware Have DIFF
ferent Standards For College
Recommendation.
HEAR HEALTH TALKS
State Board Of Health Head Ad-
vOcates Employment Of Public
Health Nurse.

At an all-day meeting of superin-
tendents and principals of high
schools, held in the Milford High
School building last Saturday, sew
eral matters of interest were dis
cussed.
Prof. w. A. Wilkinson of the Uni
versity of Delaware, stated that the
colleges Judge the graduates of high
schools on application for entrance
on the following points: the amount
of work done and the quality Of the
work, requiring usually that the
candidates rank in the upper fourth
or fifth of the class in which they
graduate, and upon the personal
character of the applicants, but
never upon the kind Of diploma
held. He further stated that the
high schools have usually niniln-
um grade which students must
achieve in order to be recommended
for college entrance upon gradual
ton. This is not uniforiu at present
throughout the state, being so in
some schools and rs in others.
Dean Dutton stated that uniform
grade would be helpful to th9 col
leges.
The high school course known as
the General Course was under con-
sideration with view to introduce
ing more electives than it at pres
enI contains.
After much discussion of the pres
| ent high school course of study and
the diplomas for the various cours-
es, it was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to study the subject and tc
report back to the full meeting oi

URGE HIGHER TARA
PROTECT TOMAT
Under Present SchedI
Flooding The NJ

Representative Robert G. y
of Delaware, is in favor of inceeas-
ing the tariff on tomatoes so as to
give better protection to the large
number of Gamers in Delaware and
Maryland. Representative Tydings,
of Maryland, expressed the opinion
that the tariff on tomatoes should
be increased from Is to 22.5 per cent
under the flexible provisions of the
tariff law.
Tomato canning in Delaware and
Maryland was reported as being in
a precarious condition and many
packers and brokers of canned to-
matoes are unable to meet their
obligations due to importations of
tomatoes from Italy.
Italy, it is said, is sending 3,OOO,-
900 cases of tomatoes to the United
States, equivalent to the total pack
of Delaware and New Jersey.
Representative Tydings has re-
duested the President and the Tariff
Commission to raise the tariff on
tomatoes.
Representative Houston has been
looking into the subject, but he is
doubtful if anything can be done in
time to relieve the present situation.

MILFORD COUNCIL TAKES
UP PARKING PROBLEM
New Regulations viii Provide For
PgrEing West Side Walnut st.

At the regular monthly meeting
of Town Council on Tuesday night
the members discussed at length
the parking situation as it confronts
the town administration. After
careful consideration council voted
to prohibit parking on the east side
of Walnut street, between Front
street, South Milford, and Front
street North Milford. Cars will be
allowed to park on the west side OF
the street as at present; but new
parking spaces will be marked out.
These spaces will be wider and will
give the automobile driver better
opportunity to get in and out easier.
The question of handling traffic
came in for discussion, and as a
means of better handling the traffic
in the business section three new
control lights were ordered. One
will be placed at the intersection Of
South Front and Walnut streets,
another at North. Front and Walnut
streets, and a third at West Front
and Church streets, North Milford.
Council had before it delegation
of fishermen who desired the prlVl-
Iege of selling fish from their trucks
while parked on Walnut street.
Council referred them to section
of the town charter which provides
that fish wagons cannot stand on the
streets in any onespot for more
than twenty minutes. The mer-
chants of the town are opposed to
granting the fish peddlers any right
to sell in front of their stores.
