interest in the choice of delegates
to the next National Convention.
The principle battle in Wilmington
is expected to rest between Wright
C. Dizer and Senator Bayard. Frank
dell. Janvier and Josiah Marvel are
talked of as the aspirants from
rural New Castle, with Miss Ellen
Samworth, of Wilmington, as the
other delegate.
Charles Murphy, Judge Boyce and
Mrs. James H. Hughes are talked
of as delegates from Kent. Mayor
Ralph Wingate, of Rehoboth, and
Andrew Lynch are talked of for the
choice from the east end of Sussex
county, with Victor O. Kitchens and
Norman Collision, from the west end.
Mrs. Thomas Wilson, of Milton, is
also mentioned.
1t is said that there is a sentiment
to permit six delegates to have a,
full vote each. A plan sponsored
by Senator Bayard in 1924, of two
whole votes and eight half votes to
the delegates is understood to have
caused dissatisfaction among certain
Democrats.
AS the Democrats generally favor
sending uninstructed delegates to
the National Convention, it is eX-
pected that the delegates next year
will have the privilege of. voting at
their own free will at the National
Convention.

spent by Delaware in the 1926 fiscal
year.
1t is disclosed in the bureau pub
lication that the grand total of ex-
penditures by all 4S states decreas-
ed from $1,614,562,000 in 1925 to
$1,614 ,59S,O00 in 1926, or about one
twentieth per cent. The eXpendi-
lures for the states, as a whole, had
been steadily increasing through
1925. Last year, the upward trend
was checked, for the first time.
A feature of the publication is an
effort to compare Federal govern
mental expenditures and operations
with those of the states, taking the
totals of the latter.
In the matter of interest, for eX-
ample, it is set out that such pay
ments by the states were $50,445,000
in 1923, $55 5,S4S,0 900 in 1924, $67,662,-
900 in 1925 and $76,S69,O0O in 1926,
this amount being an increase of 10.7
per cent, PIP per cent and 1876 per
cent.
On the other hand, it is pointed
out that interest payments of the
Federal government have decreased
109 per cent, 6.3 per cent and ST
per cent, respectively, in the last
three years.

Health are busy now completing the
collection of samples of milk from
all dairies and while these are being
analyzed at the laboratory at Dover,
inspectors will begin their summer
Investigations of all dairy plants.
Every farmer who raises milk for
sale will be visited to see whether
he is living up to the standards set
by the State Board of Health in
sanitary conditions. For two years
the State Board of Health has been
striving to show the farmer that
their market would be improved if
their milk merited it. Many of them
have made necessary improvements
and the dairying conditions have
improved steadily.
Samples of all public. drinking
water are being taken again to de-
termine if any defects have develop
ed in the past few months.
R. c. Beckett, sanitary engineer
of the State Board of Health, will
complete his inspection of bottling
plants in a few days. Under the
provisions of law passed by the
Legislature at the request of Della
ware bottlers more teeth were put
into the regulations of soft drink es-
adjustments, compelling every one
to install bottle-washing machines
that would cleanse the bottles with
out the use of human hands.
This inspection is necessary be-
cause this is the month that the bot
tiers must receive a license from the
State Board of Health to do busi-
ness.

the complete program for these

dfinitely determined, the selection
depending upon which one of the
commercial poultry centers shows
the most interest. Tentative dates
have also been arranged for each of
the other two counties, announce

Mr.. Ennis was presented with a
smoking stand by the Rehoboth
Chamber of Commerce. 1t was de-
cided to hold the convention next
year at Rehoboth.
The closing event of the conven-
tion was a parade on the boardwalk.
A concert was provided by the
Drum and Bugle Corps of Delaware
Post.
The 40 and 8 held its election
following that of the Legion and the
following officers were named:

E. Matthews; Commissaire Intend
ant. John Graghowski; Cheminots,
Joseph P. Lawson, c. Taylor Max
we'll, ]. Paul Heinel.
Howard II. Ennis, the retiring
State Commander in his report,
nointed out that the outstanding
feature of the year was the credit
able participation of the Depart
ment in the National Convention at
Philadelphia last fall, the commun-
itv service work by the posts and
the closer contact between the in
dividual posts and the cooperation
of all posts and departments activ1-
ties with department headquarters.
He suggested a permanent place,
such as the State House at Dover,
for keeping of records of the de-
partment.
"Having established, we believe,
the reputation of the Legion for
good in the State, and having re-
ceived a full measure of support
and encouragement from the gener-
al public" Commander Ennis said
in his report, "it now remains for us
to exercise soundI judgment in all
our activities, to continue to keep
creeds and politics from gaining a
hold at any point in the organiza-
ton, to keep clean and unsullied the
name and the reputation of the
American Legion and to render the
service at all time to worthy causes
which only such an organization as
the American Legion can render"
"A recommendation for keeping up
public interest in the Legion
through the newspapers was made
in the report of Harris Samonisky,
publicity officer. The Capitalization
of news of the Legion for its dis
semination and several other mat
ters in this respect were suggested |
in the report.
Lester P. Hudson, State France
convention officer, told in his report
of the participation of the Delaware
Legion in the reunion in Paris in
September.

DRUNKEN DRIVERS
ON The INCREASE
CONTINUED from first pase)

Mr.. Grantland pointed to this fact
as one of the difficulties in the way
of lack of cooperation from as
credited officials of the state who
would support the laws.
According to the Secretary of
State no further trouble is antici-
pated with either the New Jersey or
Maryland motor officials. The New
Jersey motor officials had threaten
to compel Delaware commercial
truck owners to take out New
Jersey license after they had driven
so many times over New Jersey
roads. Mr.. Grantland informed the
motor commissioner of New Jersey
that if he did that thing Delaware
would reciprocate. So far as known
no Delaware truck owner has been
arrested and compelled to take out a
New Jersey license and no more
trouble is anticipated. The recent
adjustment of the difficulties be-
tween the Maryland and Delaware
motor authorities appears to be
working out smoothly.
In June the three cent tax on
gasoline failed to bring in as much
as last year by about $4,000. This
is not considered as significant by
officials of the State Highway COM
mission because oftentimes one or
two days returns in month are de-
layed from the reports for that par
ticular month. The receipts for
June this year were $43, ,355.40. For
last year the receipts were $5l,-
87135.
The total from the gas tax this
year up to July 1, was $21O,5S7.91.
The receipts for the first six months
last year were $174,774.57.
The painting of a white line down
the middle of the highway on the
concrete has proven anything but
satisfactory. Although the line has
been painted but two or three
months in many sections it is not
discernable at all at this time. Ac-
cording to the manufacturers this is
due to the chemical reaction of the
naint on the concrete, it being as
serted that there was an alkaline
that destroys the first coat appar-
emily. He has suggested that a
second or third coat would show up
more prominently and in order to
determine whether it is better than
the black line in the middle of the
highway it is planned to give those
sections another coat of white paint.
inquiries made by the highway
commission from motor authorities
frankly state that they are not salts
fled at all with white paint on Con-
crete highways. The Pennsylvania
authorities say that they have to re-
naint three or four times a year in
order to make it "seeable."

held on the Eastern Shore, and the
results of it indicates that sheep
growers in the upper counties of
Maryland are alive to the value OF
pure bred rams of good individual
quality. The success of this auction
will probably justify the Sheep
Growers Association in holding
others from time to time.
The benefit to the sheep growing
industry from having these fine ami
mails distributed throughout the Pen
insula can hardly be over-estimated,
says DR.. F. B. Bomberger, director
of the Marketing Bureau of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association.
He said there is room for many of
the same kind, because scientific in
vestigation, backed by practical ex-
perience, has confirmed the idea
that it is a good business policy to
have registered pure bred ram at
the head of the flock.
