one month following, therefore, the
authority of Bishop Mcdowell ceases
this week, and Bishop Mcconnell will
be the head of the conference for the
next two months.
This, however, does not mean much
in the way Of pastoral changes as it
seldom occurs that visiting bishops
upset the plans made by the resident
bishop and as the district superinten-
dents have already gone over the
prospective changes and the cabinet
seems agreed, there is every reason
to expect that the present plans will
be carrid out, unless some eleventh
hour situation causes a change in the
program.

AUTO SPEED TO 40 MILES HOUR
Railroad Companies Would Have to
Safeguard Crossings Under Bill

Under the provisions of bill in
troduced in the Senate Thursday af-
ternoon, automobilists could operate
their cars at the rate of 40 miles an
hour on the highways of this state be-
fore they would be liable to arrest
on charge of reckles driving, thus
increasing the limit from 35 miles an
hour, which is the speed specified in
the existing law. This proposed act
is one of several relative to street and
and highway safety, the legislative
outgrowth of the State Conference on
Street and Highway Safety called by
Governor Robinson, at the request of
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover and held in Dover, November
IL, of last year.
This and the several other bills are
the result Of the studies of eight sub
committees of the Delaware confer
ence of period of more than three
months and were drafter in accord
ance with the Hoover uniform motor
vehicle regulations. All of the legis-
lative recommendations were adopted
by the conference in Dover last No
vember which was attended by over
800 registered delegates and more
than 400 letters endorsing the work
Of the State Conference were received

NEW RACING BILL PRESENTED
IN SENATE BY SEN. S|MONTON
WOULD CREATE COMMISSION OF
THREE MEMBERS; 3O-DAY MEETS
No Mention of Bets; Association With
$350,00O Available Said To Be
Ready To Start Work on Track

a bill to create a State Racing Com
mission and defining its powers and
duties was introduced in the Senate
Thursday afternoon by Senator Sim
onton. The bill contains none of the
betting features of the bill that was
introduced earlier in the session, and
| it is understood should the bill be
passed by the Legislature an associa-
tion stands ready to spend $350,00O
to put a race track on tract of land
near Wilmington, on which certain
parties already have an option The
bill provides:
"Any individual who complies with
the provisions of this act and any as
sociation which complies with the
terms Of this act, and which associa-
tion or corporation, if formed or or
ganized for the purpose of racing and
breeding, or improving the breed of
horses, and conducting races and con-
tests of speed, shall have the right to
hold one or more race meets in each
year and to hold and conduct races
and contests Of speed by and between
horses at such meetings for a period
Of not exceeding thirty racing days in
any calendar year.
State Racing Commission
There is hereby created a State
Racing Commission which shall con
sist of three members to be appoint
ed by the Governor, two of whom
shall serve for a period of two years
and one for a period of four years
The commission shall appoint one of
its members as chairman and another
as secretary. The salary of the mem
bers of the commission shall be $50
a day for the chairman and $25 a day
for each of the other members, for
each racing day for any meet or meet |
ings held under the provisions of this
act. The salary shall be paid from
the fees collected by the commission |
as in this act provided.
"The commission is hereby grant |
ed the authority to issue annual IL |
censes to individuals, associations or
corporations desiring to conduct rae
ing meets or meetings, to provide |
rules and regulations for the holding |
of such meeting or meetings, to pre-
scribe the amount of and collect the |
fees to be paid for holding the same,
and to turn over the fees collected to |
the State Treasurer, provided, how
ever, that said commission shall not
collect fees in excess of $4,000 for each
racing day that said races are held.
The commission shall also have the
power and authority to revoke for
cause any annual license granted to
any individual, association or corpora
tion to hold such racing meet or
meetings"
License Is Necessary
The bill provides that it shall be
unlawful for any individual, associa-
tion or corporation to hold any rae
ing meet or meetings not exceeding
thirty days in any calendar wear
without first having obtained an an
nual license from the said State Rae
ing Commission as provided in the
act. The bill further provides that
all acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with the proposed measure are re-
pealed
Smyrna times., 1927-03-02

Similar conferences were held in sew
eral other states.
In addition to increasing the speed
limit the Poole bill would increase
the maximum fines for reckless driv-
ing from $500 to $500. 1t would
also reduce the minimum fine from
$25 Co SO. 1t also designates as
reckless driving certain specific prac-
tices such as overtaking and passing
another vehicle on the right; failure
to observe the boulevard stop regula-
tions; driving with more persons on
the drivers seat than cars are built
to accommodate; operating a freight
truck or passenger bus continuously
for more than $50 miles or for more
than eight hours without relief; park
ing or stopping vehicles on any trav-
eled portion Of the highway except
when this absolutely cannot be avoid
ed, and operating a car with posters
on front windshield or on rear win
dow.
Safeguard Crossings
Another of this series of bills was
introduced by Senator Steele. This
one would authorize the State High
way Commission to determine min
imum protection to be offered users
of the highways at any particular
highway intersection in the state and
it would also require any railroad
company to install such standard code
within reasonable time. Because of
this latter provision this bill has met
with much opposition from the rail
roads operating in this state and it is
expected the act will be fought by
them in an effort to have it defeated
or so amended that the cost of in
stalling the safety signal specified
will not be placed upon them, or at
least, all of such cost.

MIR. FRANCIS J. OPPENHEINIER a noted authority ON

1t is that if the Jew to society it is not be-

It is his International character that worries Ford and

THE suggestion OF Aired Kid
Il der, the anthropologist, that
the mysterious mounds left by
the Indians, or their predecessors,
scattered over the Mississippi
Valley were intended a towers of
refuge for the people and their
belongings during great inunda-
tions of the river, seems a plaus-
ible solution of long-standing
enigma of early American history.
1t recalls the legend Of the
Tower of Babel said to have been
erected in the populous valley of
the Euphrates and Tigris after
the Flood of Noah. Towers of
refuge of all kinds were among the
first human inventions. Where
no hills were close at hand, and
foundations came suddenly and
with overwhelming force, arti.
ftcial elevations alone could afford
safety. The same structures were,
of course, useful in case Of in
Vasion by human enemies, both
for watch towers and for places
of defense. No doubt the Indian
mounds which exist still, after
action by floods and weather,
were sometimes used in battles
may even have been constructed
with that use in view as well as
for refuge from the river floods.
The Indians in these rich lands
We're perforce primitive agricul-
turists as we'll as hunters. In
great floods, like that of the
present year, all of their stores
would be swept away, and they
would be left to starve unless
they had safe depots at eleVa-
tons that the water could not
attain. To construct these must
have been, as DR.. Kidder says, a
gigantic task at which they toiled
for years.
AS far as we know they had
practically no machinery to work
with. They carried the tons and
tons of earth and gravel needed
to make a single mound in bas-
kets on their heads, and, consid-
ering their lack of mechanical
resources, the work that they &C.
complished seems astonishing.
The mounds are roughly pyra-
midal in form, and flat on top,
and some of them could have
furnished refuge for as many as
500 persons. They average $50
feet on side and are about so
feet high. Post holes on the flat
SUBMITS indicate that buildings
were erected there out of logs
and twigs, plastered with clay.
While the motive for the con.
struction of these mounds seems
undoubtedly to have been fur
nished by recurrent foundations
of the great river, yet DR.. Kidder
thinks that they also served, to
a certain extent, as temples or
affairs, and perhaps a dwelling

The District Tax Rate for the

Then at the end Of the fiscal 1928 the proposed

The net results of keeping the fiscal year

The Commissioners should fix years tax rate at

The Commissioners should bear mind that the municipal
