MORE ABOUT FISH LAWS
communicated

NCOmmuulCdJ6uJ
The following statement was hand
ed to the local editor of the Chron-
icle for publication as information.
Ed.
There appears to be some contro-
Versy about the fish laws, and mis-
understanding, which 1 would like
to explain. The law says we shall
not fish a net with meshes under one
inch square mesh. The fact is, we
were fishing a small mesh and haul
ing hundreds of bushels of small fish
ashore-and thus destroying them.
This I thought to be wrong and so
notified the Fish Warden, who came
to the beach. Mr.. Still and myself
pleaded that no arrest be then made;
but, that he notify the fishermen to
stop using such nets; so, the warden
departed after deputizing me to so
notify the fishermen, not to fish the
small mesh nets again. He directed
that I should notify him if they did
so-giving me his phone number and
address.
One seine was fished and I called
him as directed and informed him of
the fact. He came, measured the
seine the fisherman had used after
being notified, and made the arrest.
The man arrested then demanded
that all who had formerly used the
small mesh seines, be arrested,
which was done and the case as re-
ported in last weeks Chronicle re-
suited.
The man who deliberately broke
the law, evidently thought his action
would be a hardship for me; but in
that he showed an ignorance of the
laws, as it provides that the inform
ant shall receive one-half Of the fines
imposed.
My purpose was to protect the
small fish. If I was wrong in doing
that, the law itself is wrong. I leave
this point for any good citizen to de-
eide. Signed, James H. Millman.
People don't want to be reformed;
they want to be entertained.

MOON DOES NOT CAUSE
WET OR DRY WEATHER

One of the commonest and likewise
one of the most unreasonable wea-
ther superstitions, says the Weather
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is the belief
that if the horns of the new crescent
moon tip downward, it is a wet"
moon, portending rain.
The position of the lunar crescent
depends upon the angle that the
moons path makes with the horizon,
and on any given date it is always
the same in places having the same
latitude. If this weather sign were
trustworthy, the same kind of wea-
ther, either dry or rainy, would pre-
vail on any given date throughout
belt of latitude extending entirely
around the globe. Of course there is
no such uniformity of weather in re-
lation to latitude. In the temper
ate zones, where the weather travels
from west to east, the greatest con-
trasts of wet and dry weather con-
ditions are likely to be found along
parallels of latitude rather than mer-
idians of longitude.
Near the Equator the position of
the young moon never makes an
angle of more than go with the
horizon, and it is generally in an
even more nearly horizontal position,
so that in part of the world motor
ious for religions of heavy rainfall,
the moon is, according to the pro-
verb, always a "dry" one. The final
absurdity is the case of the crescent
moon as seen from the north and
south poles, where it is always what
the proverb describes as ""wet," for
at those places the line joining the
tips of the crescent always makes an
angle Of less than 250 to the verti-
cal; yet the polar regions are char
acterized by so little precipitation in
the form of rain and snow that they
rank among the arid regions of the
globe.

MANY WILL ATTEND
ODD FELLOWS MEETING
CONTINUED from nrst pags)

known as independence Hall, in
which the Liberty Bell rests.
An entertainment program and a
series of events of rare interest

ders during the week and will be
events of unusual interest. Grand

to be the most brilliant in the long
history of the organization.
Another big feature of the meeting
will be the big indoor pageant Of the
Association of Rebekah Assemblies,
containing much of Biblical inspira-
ton of the order. The affair will be
a colorful and highly interesting
exposition of the history of the or

while many unofficial events will
make the week memorable one.

FARMERS HEAR FINE
TALKS ON FARMERS DAY
Continued from page u

partment of the university headed
by Dean McCue were on hand to
welcome the visitors and show them
around. The visitors were formed
in groups in accordance to what
feature of the work they desired to
inspect and were taken on trips
over the property by those connected
with the farm and the agricultural
department. The entire morning
was devoted to these inspection
tours.
o special interest to many or the
visitors was the poultry plant. At
IL O'Clock a meeting was held at
the poultry plant attended by large
number of poultrymen when the
feasibility of forming a statewide
poultry association was discussed.
This meeting was in charge of H. S.
Palmer, extension poultryman at the
university.
Many other visitors were mostly
interested in the live stock while
others spent most of their time in
specting the fruit orchards and the
dSTOuOQy u6luS anu Iu6 SApCI4IlGhIo
that are being carried on in these
branches of farming.
In the future the farmers day,
which for 20 years has been one Of
the events of the year for the farm
ers of Delaware, will only be held
every other year. This means the
next Farmers Day will be in 1928.
The holding of farmers day at
the Experiment Farm was first
started shortly after the present
farm was bought by the State nearly
a quarter of a century ago for the
conducting of agriculture expert
ments.
For some years it was held DUR
ing commencement week and at
tracted crowds of from 1000 to 5000.
This plan was changed several years
ago and since the day has been OBJ
served late in the summer. This idea
proved best as it gave visitors bet
ter opportunity to inspect growing
crops and experiments.

SAFETY ADVOCATES
PLAN TO REDUCE
CROSSING MENACE
fcontinued from flrat pagal


ter to the attention of drivers of au-
tomobiles and the public in general.
Protective, that is, guarding cross
ings as much as possible.
Elimination of all unnecessary
grade crossings.
The secretary was directed to Sc
cure the best thought possible from
other places where such situations
have been considered, and all will
work to secure full public support
for the movement. The conference
will meet again at the call of the
chairman and a full report will be
made to the executive council of the
Delaware Safety Council at the meet
ing of that body on Monday, August
16.
1t was brought out by Chief Engi-
neer Buck that in number of cases
where the department had sought to
abolish unnecessary grade crossings
so as to eliminate as much danger
as possible, citizens of towns or To-
calities had appeared and objected to
the elimination because closing GER
tain crossings would compel them to
drive further in order to reach GER
tain point and would make travel
more inconvenient for them.
After the meeting Chairman Drex-
ler gave out a statement which was
indorsed by other members of the
conference as expressing the views
of the body. The statement follows:
"a brief study of the grade cross
ing problem of Delaware makes us
see positively that the big point now
is to fully appreciate the need of
crossing crossings cautiously
"It would be impossible to elimi-
nate all grade crossings in this, the
next, or the ten years to follow.
However, it is possible by education
and a study of the individual grade
crossing, to bring about a more in
telligent reasoning in the public at
titude on driving carefully.
"The State Highway Department
has a program of advancement. 1t
has plans for eliminating some of
the crossings this year and is also
surveying the situation for the COM
ing year. That progress is being
made we are. glad to note, and gen.
eral cooperation will mean that fur
ther fatalities can be reduced by the
whole people deciding 10 cooper
ate.
"It is therefore the individual
drivers obligation to drive carefully,
observing the rules of the road,
keeping his eyes and his mind ac-
tive for he usually knows that when
he is approaching a railroad crossing
he should exercise care but because
he might desire to take chance he
endangers his own life and the lives
of those who are riding in his auto
mobile.
"I think the conference has al
ready shown us the way to pro-
gress,"
