GAS RETALIATION
HEARING ORDERED
Public Utilities Group Com
pIetes Work on Property
of Companies.

The Public Utilities Commission vir-
tually completed its revaluation of the
properties of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies yes
terday and fixed August 13 as the date
for beginning public hearings in the
case.
The valuation has been under way
for more than year and It's outcome
may result in revision in gas rates
in Washington While the figures
making up the commissions appralse-
ment have not been tabulated, utility
experts predict that they will exceed
the valuation fixed by the commission
as of December 81, 1916, and thereby
put the gas companies in position to
apply for an increase in rates. The
valuation of the Washington Gas Light
Co at that time was placed at $9.097,-
1881. It's subsidiary. the Georgetown
Gas Light Co. was valued at $829,-
1868.
The present plans of the commission
contemplate the hearing of testimony
at the opening hearing by Fl. Carl Wolf,
the commissions engineer, and the en-
gineer of the companies. The COM
mission then would adjourn to study
the data Of these witnesses and resume
the hearing at later date.

GETTING

"Although the war is over we are

than in the production of the Victory

lutionary principles characterize it.
1t is the first car in which body

double steel wall is found in the
body of closed car.
cit is in this latter departure that
principles learned in the war are
reflected particularly the important
one of providing for second line
of defense The double steel wall is
just that. Even if the outer wall
should be penetrated, the inner one
would still stand as a second defense
for the occupants. The double steel
actually means double safety. Tests
have proved that it is practically
impossible to penetrate both walls.
Success of the new construction
methods employed in the Victory six
is reflected in it's performance. The
car has an easy speed of So miles

BOYS OF SCOUT
BAND SHOW MEN
APPRECIATION

About 20 pieces of the Douglas Boy
Scout band went out to the c. & A.
smelter at noon Saturday and gave
the men there few selections Of
music in appreciation for the way.
in which they contributed to the
funds now being subscribed for the
council. The Douglas Scout band
is one of the largest ana best boy
bands in the southwest, there being
over so boys now playing with, the
organization.
This band has only been in
existence since last April, but due
to the efforts of Il. s. Palmer and
William P. Hanson it has achieved
fine progress. The band is only one
phase of the work of the Boy Scouts
in Douglas. Some 80 boys have been
out on hikes in the past month, one
group hiking nearly ten miles in
almost record time. The boys take
their food and prepare it themselves
when on these hikes. Some of the
boys are said to be nearly as good
cooks as their mothers.
President Coolidge says, eff every
boy in the United States between
the ages of IL and II could be
placed under the wholesome influence
of the Scout program and should live
up to the Scout oath and rules, we
would have fewer pessimistic words
as to the future of cur nation
There are three troops OF Scouts
now operating in Douglas, and it
is planned to have two more in the
near future. Those now in existence
are:
Troop 5, sponsored by the Episcopal
church, C.. A.. Nichols, scoutmaster.
Troop 6, sponsored by the american
legion, Hugo Becker, scoutmaster.
Troop H. sponsored by the L. D., S.
church, Heber Hush, scoutmaster.
The American legion troop has
increased from 10 to 80 members in
the past month and if this continues
they will start a second troop.
An additional supply of the new
Scout handbook will soon De available
and all Scouts are urged to procure
one.
The week of Feb 6-12 has been set
aside as Scout anniversary week, this
being their 18th year of existence.
The Boy Scouts of America was in
corporated in Washington D. c., on
Feb. s, 1910. This marked the estab-
lishment of the Boy Scout movement
in the United States.
On Tuesday of anniversary week,
school day, Scouts will participate
in school demonstrations to show
that scouting: augmentS school work
and tends to increase the interest of
boys in school and education.
On Scout Sunday, Feb u, which
will close the week, each troop will

Of applicants at the assessors windows

fact that the division of motor vehicles
of the state highway department. is
liable under the law to paddock every
car not bearing 1928 license, at any
time now, does not seem to startle any,
one very much.
1t is estimated, without any accurate
figures at hand, however, that fully
one-fourth of the automobiles in the
Douglas district are yet without either
new licenses or receipts showing that
they have been applied for. A survey
of the cars parked at the curb on any
street indicates that the estimate is
fairly accurate. No one knows exactly
how many cars there are in CochiSc
county or in Douglas.
No one knows yet what the law will
do Wednesday about the cars that have
no new plates. The actual date when
the new plates should have been on
all cars was Jan. L., but the law re-

NEW EASTERN SHORE BOOKLET
New Edition Published Contains Rec
ipes Featuring Delmarvia Products

The Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation, has received from the print
er the new edition of the Del-Mar-Va
Products and Recipe folder for dis
tribution in answer to the many hum
dreds of inquiries which have been
received asking for this special piece
of literature. The original Products
and Recipe folder issued by the As
sociation became extremely popular in
connection with the five weeks radio
program which the Association car
ried out two years ago. Since that
time the original lot of some $4,000
folders became exhausted and several
weeks ago, because of the heavy de-
mand, appropriation was made for an
additional 10000. In preparing the
new folder the Publicity Department
added four pages and arranged to
carry as a center display the recently
issued new map of the Peninsula
Other new features which add mater
tally to the attractiveness of the fold
er include photograph of Aunt
Adaline Wheatley, and IS year old
negro cook who has been in the family
of John A. l.. Radcliffe, of SpocOt
Farm, near Cambridge, Nd, all her
life and who has been mistress Of the
Radcliffe kitchen for more than three
score years. She is recognized as one
Of the few remaining ant-bellum cooks
who is still active and her concoctions
are rated among the foremost of Del
Mar-Va's .delectable dishes. Five
splendid views Of Del-Mar-Va prod
ucts direct from farm and field to
table are also new features. Recipes
included in this folder have been en-
tirely revised so that they are typical
of the Peninsula and their ingredients
are almost entirely Del-Mar-Fa pro-
ducts. Miss Ruth Powell, Instructor
of Home Economics, at the Maryland
State Normal School, Salisbury, rated
az an authority on Eastern Shore and
Southern cooking, revised the recipes
and checked all as being workable.
Four typical southern menus are also
offered with a variety of dishes to be
selected for each meal One of the
unusual features among the recipes
carried is instruction for the prepara-
ton of Cancassback, Redhead, Black
and Mallard ducks, being the widely
famed recipe used by United States
Senator I. Coleman dupont, which
was given national publicity some

Familiar Delaware River and Wood
land Beach Steamboat is No More
The Philadelphia Salvage and
Wrecking Company has completed
the sinking of several old barges
and the hulls of a number Of old
steamers in the Delaware River just
to the south of the lower end of Arti-
fetal Island. Among the hulls Of
steamers scuttled in the river
was that of the old Thomas Clyde,
once the pride of the Delaware River
as an excursion boat and familiar to
Smyrnians when it piled between
Woodland Beach and Philadelphia. l.
was only few weeks ago that the
hull of the steamer was towed from
Sadler's Wharf at Delaware City to
point near Philadelphia by the Sal
wage and Wrecking Company, the
purchasers of the vessel. It seems
fitting that the steamer should find its
final resting place on the bottom Of
the river where it has been known for
many years. The boats are being sunk
in the river to break the strong tide
50 that dredges will be able to work
in back of the boats and fill in the
lower end Of Artificial Island. The up
per end Of the island has been filled
in during recent years. Artificial Isl
and was constructed in the middel Of
the river below Port Penn. 1t runs
across to the Jersey shore and was
constructed to keep the channel open
on the western side Of the river which
it has been able to accomplish Form
erly shoals formed and it required
constant dredging to keep the river
open at that point so that the large
steamers could come up the river. 4
great many old boats have already
been sunk in the river in the con-
struction work in former years.

| DEL -MAR-VA OFFICIALS WARN
AGAINST ADVERTISING FAKES
IMPOSTERS PURPORTING TO BE
OFFICIAL AGENTS AROUND
Warming Given That Arrest and Pros
ecution Will Follow Use of Associa-
tiOn's Unauthorized Name

For the second time within a year
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation is issuing a warning to its
members and the people of the Pen
| insula against advertising solicitors
and other agents who are either open
ly claiming to represent the Associa-
tion or intimating that their publica-
tion or project is sponsored by it. Last
spring, when Mr.. Frank Duehring was
appointed Field Representative for the
Association and began his active ser
vice, he met with numerous instances
where persons claimed to have pur-
chased space in various publications or
contributed toward them under the
impression that they were Association
enterprises. In several instances the
Association was able to locate indi-
viduals using this spurious means of
securing business and on threatened
prosecution, cleared up to a large eX-
tent activities of this nature. During
the last few weeks, Mr.. Duehring, who
is the only field representative Of the
Association, and who does not solicit
advertising in any manner has again
been informed that the Associations
name is being used for the benefit if
private individuals or commercial en-
terprises. At Association headquart-
ers recently a statement was made by
the Executive Secretary to the effect
that rigid steps will be taken to pro
secute those found guilty Of using the
Associations name for fraudulent
purposes. In numerous instances
where detail Of this procedure has
been reported, there is a direct viola
tion of the law as money has been SCI
cured under false pretenses. For the
information Of the public, announce
ment is made that the Association
does not sponsor any advertising or
publication plan or scheme and that
its Field Representative solicits moth
ing other than direct membership ane
is qualified with full credentials which
will be gladly presented. "A request
is made that immediate notification be
given Association headquarters at
Salisbury when advertising agents ad-
vance the statement that they are di-
rectly or indirectly representing the
Association or that their project bears
its endorsement.
