SUIT MAY HELP
ANASTAS|A
BY International News Service

BERLIN, Feb. 13.--Whether Nine.
Anastasia Won TschaiRowsky, the
mystery woman whose arrival in
the United States last week created
a sensation, is really the Grand
Duchess Anastasia, the only sur
yiving child of the last Car of
Russia, or only an imposter, win be
legally determined at trial open
ing before the courts here today.
The trial is of a libel suit by the
Hachtausgabe, a German news
paper, against the Taegiiche Runds-
chau, another newspaper often re-
ferred to as the organ of Foreign
Minister Stresemann.
The Nachtausgabe had published
what purported to be a diary of
Anastasia's escape from the mas
sacre that wiped out the Russian
imperial family, compiled by Anas-
tasia's nurse.
At the same time, the Nachtaus-
gabe undertook to Investigate the
identity of the mystery woman
through a staff of detectives and
published another series of articles
to prove that Anastasia is Fran
cisca Schanzkowsky, daughter of a
polish farmer living in Latvia.
These findings were accepted as
conclusive by the general public.
Efforts of the court TO effect 4
compromise at the opening session
this morning failed, whereupon. the
Taegliche Rundschau announced
that it was prepared to prove that
Anastasia Won TShchaikowsky was
really the Cars daughter.

MANY AT BOWERS
ON BIG THURSDAY
Lack Of Politicians At Resort Was
Noticeable This Year

Between 5000 and 5000 people
gathered at Bowers Beach last
Thursday to observe big Thurs
day" The day was cloudy and it is
believed that this kept the crowd
from being as large as it usually is.
Automobiles brought large numbers
of people from Pennsylvania and
Maryland as well as from Delaware.
A noticeable feature of the OBJ
servance was the almost total alb
sence of politicians. There were
few there and the day took on more
of the aspect of a picnic than of a
political meeting as has been the
case in former years.
There was an unusually large
number of bathers. Many of the
crowd brought baskets of food and
enjoyed old-time picnic style lun-
ches on the beach. There was also
dancing, both afternoon and even
ing.
In the afternoon the Bowers Gun
Club staged a shoot which was at
tended by considerable number.
The great majority of the visitors
returned home late in the afternoon
but in the evening large number
of people from surrounding towns
went to the beach and spent the eve
ming.

When Mr.. Raskob made the an

LOUDER SAPP, FARMER,
KILLED BY TRUCK
Driver, Howard Stein, ExOnerated
OF Blame By COrOner's Jury

Louder Sapp, aged 35, farmer, re-
siding near FELTON,, was killed short
ly after noon last Saturday when a
car driven by him and a truck, be-
longing to Hill and Dolby, of Sea-
ford, and driven by Howard Stein,
aged 20, son of S. J. Stein, Seaford
merchant, collided at the intersec-
ton of the Delaware highway and
Milford road at Harrington.
Sapp was killed Instantly. His
skull was fractured and part of his
scalp torn off.
Edward Simpler and his son, of
FELTON,, who were in Sapp's car, es-
capped with minor injuries.
Stein was driving south on the
highway and Sapp was going north.
A car ahead of Stein turned off at
the intersection and Sapp's car
doomed up in front of Stein. The
latter applied the brakes, but the
slippery condition of the road, due
to a heavy rain, caused the truck to
skid badly. The truck and car were
badly wrecked.
At an inquest conducted by Cor
oner Grier MINER, of Kent county, |
Stein was exonerated of all blame. |
The accident was investigated by
Corporal Knox and Private Wood,
Of the BridgeVille station, State
Highway Police. =

FIND MANY CHILDREN
THAT ARE UNDERFED
County Physicians Discover Many
Do Not Have Right Diet

Faulty teeth and tonsils are again
proving to be the outstanding de-
fects of children, according to the
result of the pre-school clinics be-
ing held everywhere in the State
outside of Wilmington by county
physicians of the State Board of
Health.
All through this month the coun-
ty physicians and nurses will ex-
anime children, who are starting in
school next month for physical de-
fects.
Another development of the pre-
school clinics is the fact that many
children are suffering from malnu-
triton. They are not eating enough
green food and enough variety to
enable them to grow and develop
as they should. When the children
are asked what they eat, they usu-
ally say:
Potatoes, bread and butter, cof-
fee, tea, cakes, candy and soft
drinks" Such things as milk and
eggs are not in their diet. Often
times the family doesn't keep a cow
and only canned milk is used. The
eggs are sold as a part of the fam
lily income. Green food and raw ones
such as tomatoes, lettuce, carrots,

ASK PERMISSION TO
BUILD NEW BRIDGE
Highway Department Seeks Per-
mission To Cross MispilIiOn River

Oscar D. Rulings, assistant engi-
neer for the Delaware District, has
notified interested parties that the
State Highway has asked for per-
mission to construct a bridge east of
Milford. The letter sent out by the
War Department is self-sxplanatory.
1t follows:
Application, upon behalf of the
Delaware State Highway Depart
ment, has been made by Mr.. c. D.
Buck, Chief Engineer thereof, for
approval of it's plans to construct a
single leaf bascule lift type draw
bridge across Mispillion River at
site about one mile east of the fixed
bridge across that stream at Wal
nut street, Milford, Delaware.
The proposed plans provide for
single draw span with one each
northerly and southerly fixed ap-
proach spans leading thereto. When
in a closed position, the least YER
teal clearances proposed above To-
cal mean high and local mean low
water planes of reference are re-
spectively 5.5 feet an 94 feet. The
proposed horizontal clearance is
500 feet between the tenders and
$50 feet between the tenders on the
southerly side of the draw span and
the top of the lift leaf when that
leaf is raised for the passage of
vessels, which require the draw to
be opened. The proposed total
length of the bridge between the
faces of abutments is given as 1915
feet while the width of roadway is
shown as 24.0 feet clear of the
wheel guards with an additional
sidewalk so feet wide along the
side of the bridge.
You are requested to state in the

plans described above should not be |
approved.
We % object to the plans de-
icribed above because:

GENERAL MOTORS
GIVES P. S. DU POINT
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Delaware Man Had Offered To
Resign Chairmanship Because
Of Wet Views.
WILL SUPPORT SMITH
MIR. du POnt Has Not Always
Stood For Party Regularity.
Supported Wilson.

Pierre S. du Pont, chairman OF
the Board of General Motors Cor
poration, has been granted a leave
of absence to fight the prohibition
law.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., President of
General Motors, said the board had
rejected Mr.. du Points resignation
which he had preferred because he
did not wish his activities as vice
president and director of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment to embarrass the cor
poration.
"The board felt that the position
of the corporation, having been
stated, was understood and that all
should appreciate that Mr.. du
Points activities in connection with
that associations work are entirely
those of an individual and did not
concern the corporation" Mr.. Sloan
said in his announcement.
"His resignation was therefore
not accepted and Mr.. du Pont was
accorded leave of absence in
stead"
The granting of the leave of i.5-
sence to Mr.. du Point follows close
ly the resignation of John J. Ras-
kOb, chairman of the Democratic
National committee, from the chair
manship of the finance committee
and as a member of the executive
committee.
Mr.. RaskOb and Mr.. du Point have
been associated for years in the E.
1. du Pont de NemourS & Company,
Inc, powder company, and are two
of the largest holders of General
Motors stock. The du PoNt Com
pany is said to control approx

Mr.. Raskob the largest individual
He and Mr.. Raskob have both
been closely identified with the As
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition
since it's inception, and
are among the most prominent of
those advocating modification of the

Announcement that Mr.. du Point
will support Alfred Smith for Pres

views on the liquor question you'd !

been considered a Republican, he |
