reads "a search warrant shall not be

there is illegal sale or that dwelling

DOPE FOR AUTO MOTORISTS
Delawareans Who Have Been TRAP

Here's a chance to get back at the

caught in the mill in Clementon town

Delaware Automobile Association an

Stratford, Underwood and Clementon.
Not satisfied with this punishment,
the authorities want to put the Of

testimony Of motorists who were ar

pay fines. In many instances, ''de-
post slips" were issued to motorists

There are other little aids to popu-

WARN DELAWARE MOTORISTS
New Vehicle Law Over in New Jersey
Makes Changes for Motorists

Delaware motorists are warned by
the Delaware Automobile Assoc; alton,
11th and West streets, Wilmington,
that a clause in the new vehicle law
of New Jersey permits justices of the
peace to fine and imprison motorists
for minor infractions of the law.
Heretofore their power, as in this
state, was limited to imposition of
Jail sentence only in default of pay
ment of fine. ''The penalty clause in
the new law" says a statement by
the Association, "is SO manifestly un-
fair, that we have entered vigorous
protest against it and will exert every
effort to have it repealed at the next
session of the legislature. For the
present, however, this obnoxious
clause remains in effect, and it is well
for Delaware motorists travelling in
New Jersey to recognize the danger
and act, accordingly. "It is the in
tention of the Delaware Automobile
Association to give every legal as
sistance to motorists who may be un-
justly treated under this Act. No mo-
tOrist will go to Jail for a parking
law if we can help it. A similar
clause appeared in the first draft of
the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code last
year, but was rejected by the Legis-
lature when the Keystone Automobile
Clubs Legislative Committee pointed
out its significance. In letter to
William L. Dill, Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Of New Jersey, we said.
Motor car owners ought not to be
put in position where they are abb
solutely at the mercy of magistrate
or justice Of the peace armed with
the authority to mulct them Of fines
and send them to jail. Without in the
least impugning the integrity or mo
tives Of those charged with active en-
forcement Of the law, we nevertheless
feel that this provision of the Act i'm
poses a harsh and uncalled-for bur
den on motorists and opens wide the
door to those members of the minor
judiciary who in the past have not
scrupled to use their offices for mer-
cenary ends"

DUCKS SCARCE ON MARSHES
Storms Last Month Damaged Feeding
Places and Fowl Leave

Smyrna spOrtsmen who enjoy wild
duck shooting report that the marsh
es and other feding places used by
wild ducks in this section Of the State
are not drawing ducks as they have
in the past. The men attribute the
scarcity Of ducks to the fact that the
heavy storm Of last month flooded
the marshes and badly damaged the
feedirg grounds Of the fowl. For
tie Lr everal years gunners have
enjoyed excellent shooting Of wild
folw on the marshes, but they will
have to find other marshes from
which to shoot this year if things do
not change very materially. In fact,
according to the duck shooters, the
wild ducks which generally make
their appearance in large numbers
earlier than this date have been very
scarce. Local gunners are now agi-
tating a movement to ask all gunners
70 stay away from the marshes in
this section this year in order that
the ducks may be given an apportun-
ity TO increase next year.

this connection was sponsored by the
Louisville COurier-Bournal. While in
Europe he attended the Olympic
