trans-peninsular line. The survey
ors had a sorry time in their efforts
to start the line as there were
severe storms and their temporary
cabin on Fenwick's Island was
burned leaving only partially clad
on a cold wintry night. They sue
ceeded during the twenty-five days
that they were on the work in clear
ing a line some six miles west from
Fenwick's Island.
On April q, 1851 they started
work again and continued until
June IL when at distance of sixty
six miles they reached Slaughter
Creek, tributary of the Chesapeake
and cut off James, or TaylOr's
Island. A few years ago a re-survey
was made of the lower part of Della
ware, the roads marked and bench
marks established by the Govern
ment officials. A typographical map
of Sussex county was made, show
ing the variations in the soil and the
contour of the lands. This survey
was completed in 1920. The divid-
ing line between Maryland and Della
ware was marked and some of the
old markers found were replaced
with others.
Engineer Hill and Clark, who
have been making an effort to locate
the old markers placed when the
original survey was made, believe
that they have either been broken
off, removed or are buried beneath
the undegrowth and quagmire of the
Cypress Swamp. They propose to
continue their search for the mark
ers along the six-mile stretch, not
withstanding that they are pretty
we'll convinced about where the line
should be. They are in position to
locate the road to the satisfaction of
the people of Wicomico and Sussex
counties, even if they are never able
to fully establish the correct boun-
dry lines.
The proposed highway is needed
in that section of Sussex county for
the benefit of both counties. When
built it will open up vast area of
country which is a great agricultur-
al section.

American People Not Hard Boiled,
Asserts Postmaster General
Postmaster-General New SCOTS at
"Pessimists" Who Insist That
Friendship and BrOtherly
Love Are Things Of
the Past.

Have the American people be-
come "hard-poiled" and calloused,
subordinating friendship, neighbor-
illness, and the social graces and
amenities characteristic Of a former
day to the mad scramble for the
almighty dollar?
Postmaster General Harry S. New
does not think so. So strongly does
Mr., New feel on the subject that,
in a message to Greeting Card
Manufacturers gathered from all
parts Of the United States for the
Convention Of the Greeting Card
Association in session at Atlantic
City, he pointed to the thousands
of greeting cards going through the
mails each year as an argument
against those who insist that the
age of commercialism and the
devil take the hindmost" precept
Of modern business has struck a
death blow to the happy customs
and ideals that once stamped US as
the most hospitable of all nations.
In his message to the Greeting
Card Association Postmaster Cen
eral New takes exception to the
plants of those who feel that
human beings in general, and
Americans in particular, are less
friendly and neighborly than in
former days, and that men and
women nowadays are too centered
in their own activities to bother
about friends and neighbors. He
added:
"The number Of greeting cards
sent through the mails has in
creased tremendously from year to
year. This is the very best argu-
ment that can be advanced against
those pessimists and agitators who
maintain that there is no spirit
of comradeship, friendship or
brotherly love left in the hearts
and minds of the American people.

holiday, or a public event Of one
king or another that is not remem-
bered by the dispatch or receipt of

MILK BY THE CARLOAD.

Shipment of milk by tank-car in
stead of in ten-gallOn cans loaded
into express or special cars has in
creased in the last five years. More
than sixty tank cars handle milk
into Chicago. Each car includes
two steel tanks of 5000 gallon ca
pacity, glass lined, cork insulated
and protected by a steel jacket.
One tank car will transport more
milk than two of the more common
milk cars.

FObtmaBter General HAIRY Ss new
thousands Of greeting cards. The
country, instead Of going backward
in this respect, is advancing from
day to day and from year to year."
The Greeting Card Manufacturers
were told by R. w. Hicks, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the associa-
ton, that the American people spent
more than $5O,OOO,OOO during the
past year in remembering with
greeting cards their friends and
relatives on birthdays and special
occasions, and on such anniver-
saries as Easter, Thanksgiving,
Fathers and Mothers days, Christ
mas and New Years.
A poll of delegates representing
the entire country revealed Christ
mas cards, Easter cards and valen-
tines and Mothers Day cards as
the four best sellers" among greet
Ing cards, with men as the heaviest
Purchasers Of valentines.
7 The association unanimously
adopted a resolution congratulating
Postmaster General New on the
efficient handling of the mails and
the sincere cooperation of the Post
Office Department, with business

IN RAIL VALUATION
Supreme Court Says Orders
Stand Unless Used for
improper Purpose.

Railroad valuation methods of the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
rate making purposes were sustained
in effect today by the Supreme Court.
The opinion held that a protest
against the commissions methods,
brought by the Los Angeles & Salt
Lake Railroad, should have been dis
missed by the lower courts.
The final valuation orders are with.
in the function of the commission, the
court held, and do not constitute an
order which could be interfered with
by the courts until after the order is
used for some improper purpose by
the commission.
Effect May Be Wide.
Should the final valuation orders of
the commission be used to deprive the
railroads of any of their rights, it was
added, then they would have ample
opportunity to go into the courts.
The case brought by the Los Angeles
G. Salt Lake Railroad. part of the
Union Pacific system, was regarded
as test of the whole rate-making
structure of the Government, and it's
ultimate effect upon railroad rates
may be of epoch-making importance.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion described the issues presented of
greater moment to the country than
any other question ever before it.
The controversy was whether there
is a value which the commission may
place upon railroad property for rate

Kellogg Welcomes Japanese Answer
as Friendly i'm Nature.

Japan's desire to defer the naval
arms limitation conference proposed
by President Coolidge until June is
viewed as ''entirely reasonable" by
Secretary Kellogg.
In view of the fact that the sessions
of the preparatory commission on
disarmament at Geneva probably will
be extended over several months. the
American plan of holding concurrent
five-power limitation treaty negotia-
tions applying to classes Of ships not
covered by the Washington treaty
would not be affected by the delay
Mr.. Kellogg said today.
Gratified by Reply.
L am highly gratified at the reply
Of the Japanese government, which
reflects the spirit Of friendly COOP
Grafton in which the principal naval
powers must approach the problem Of
competitive building If real solu-
ton is to be found Mr.. Kellogg said.
The Japanese acceptance, made pub
lie yesterday, complied closely with
forecasts Of the Japanese attitude as

intimation that the Toxic government
would not accept the $3.50 capital ship
ratio of the Washington treaty to be
applied rigidly in any tonnage limi-
tation agreement for auxiliary craft

came as no surprise.

Reply to U. S. Memorandum,

STAND HELD NECESSARY
AFTER FRENCH REFUSAL
Rome Willing to Discuss Whole
Question Under League
Auspices in Future.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1877.
ROME, February 21.-Italy's reply
to President Coolidge's memorandum
on naval disarmament, which was
handed to Ambassador Fletcher at
noon, is generally believed to be in
the form of polite, but categorical
negative. The text of the reply will
be published this evening.
The note. though couched in the
most friendly terms, is said to insist
on Italy's freedom of action regarding
naval defense in the Mediterranean.
1t is understood to outline with elabo-
rate detail Italy's position as a power
with a modest naval program, but a
program which must be sufficient with
regard to light cruisers and subma-
rines for all defensive purposes.
At a future date Italy is willing to
meet all the powers under the au-
spices of the League Of Nations for
general discussion of the theoretical
elements of disarmament. But at
present, in the light of the French re-
fusal, Italy feels it necessary to re-
fuse also.
1t is known here that the phraseol-
ogy of Dictator MussolinPs reply has
been occupying the dictator to the
exclusion of most other business over
the week end. The first draft, as pre-
pared by the foreign office, has been
worked over by Mussolini in order to
present to America the fullest light on
the subtle details of his position.

Senior Serrato relinquished the office.

Colorado party, and the Nationalists,
whose candidate was DIR. Luis Alber-

elections. but 1t was finally decided

had won out in the provinces. the
