?. MARTIN dies
AT TER OPERATION
Louisiana Representative for
Seven Terms Victim Of
Stomach Disorder.

Representative whitmell Pugh Mar
tin, Democrat, of Louisiana, died at
Garfield Hospital early this morning
following an operation yesterday for .
stomach disorder. He was In his sixty
second year.
Mr.. Martin was about to begin his
eighth term in the House. He was q
member Of the ways and means COM
mittee and played leading part in the
present tariff revision deliberations. He
was particularly active in consideration
OF the tariff levy on sugar, one Of the
principal products of his home State.
The Representative made his home at
Thibodaux, near New orleans.
He was born In Assumption Parish.
La, and studied in public schools and
under private tutors until entering
Louisiana State University, where he
was graduated In 1888 with the degree
of bachelor Of science. He began the
study of law at the University Of Vir-
gtnia and, after passing examinations
before the courts of Virginia and
Louisiana, started practicing law in
1891.
Was District Attorney.
Leaving Assumption, he moved to
Thibodaux, where In 1894 he was made
superintendent of public education. In
1900 he was appointed district attorney
in that section and served In that
capacity until 1907.
Mr.. Martin was elected as Progress
sive to the Sixty-fourth and Sixty
fifth Congresses and was nominated by
the Democratic party and elected with
out opposition to the Sixty-sixth, Sixty
EauaF1fh Ciyfu.ofnkNfn Civfxy-V iy4t1a
SEVENTEEN and Seventy Congresses.
Long a champion of the sugar inter-
ests OF his State, Mr.. Martin fought for
higher tariff on this commodity. After
enactment of the Underwood tariff,
which placed sugar on the free list, he
boited the Democratic party and be-
came a Progressive, being elected as
such.
Service Unbroken.
He later returned to the party fold,
however, and had been a stanch sup
porter of It's principles since. His long
service in the House was unbroken.
The Representative entered the hos
pital here March 81. He had been in
good health up to that time, his frien6s
said.
At the hospital when he died were
his daughter, Mrs. William d. Tabor of
this city, Miss Eleanor johnson, friend
of the family, and Jacob S. Landry, his
secretary. Mrs. Martin. who was Miss
Amy Williamson of De Sofa Parish, La
died in 1923. and a daughter. Amy
Whitmell Pugh Martin, succumbed in
1914 at the age of IL.
Two sons of the Representative, Mar
shall L. and Robert G. Martin, are ex-
pected here tomorrow. The latter is a
student at Louisiana State University
while Marshall is in business at Thibo-
daux
1t is expected the body will be taken
to Thibodaux for burial some time next
week.

The colored woman still is an in

I'VE find much to encourage us In

Miss Anderson said. I'm 1919 the
Women'S Bureau made its first study
of her problems and we found deplor-
able conditions. But when we made a
second study more than year later,
covering all the same plants and some
additional ones, we found that the con-

working had been materially improved
and the sanitary conditions especially
were noticeably better"

STATE HAS BEST
SHIP RADIO STATION
Bethany Beach Outfit One OF Most
Important On Atlantic Coast -

Delaware has one of the most eff
ficient naval radio compass stations
in the United States Navy, accord
ing to R. E. Meyers; who is chief
radioman at Bethany Beach.
The compass station won the COM
munication competition for the most
efficient station in the navy two
years in succession. Delawareans
are invited to visit the Naval estab-
lishment, which is under direct jur-
isdiction of Admiral Julian Latimer,
Commandment of the Fourth Naval
District. The radio station furnishes
bearings to ships at sea and recently
was successful in locating the YES
iris position off the Virginia Capes.
Bethany Beach radio station works
in conjunction with three different
compass groups, the Delaware en-
trance, Chesapeake entrance and
with the Cape Hatteras group. This
is the only station that performs
such a service and is equipped to
work with ships direct.
Due to the geographical location,
it is one of the most important sta
lions in aiding vessels to ascertain
their position when sun observations
are impossible says Meyers.
The station maintains a "a hour
service to aid ships at sea and is
manned by four radio operators I'M
der the supervision of Chief Radio
man Meyers.

Recommends DiscOntinuance OF $lO,-
900 Annual Appropriation

Governor C. Douglass Buck, in a
letter read to the Legislative Budget
Committee Monday morning, recon-
mended that the $4,000 appropriat-
ed to each county's Levy Court for
the maintenance of dirt roads, be
discontinued.
Governor Bucks letter, in part,
follows:>
Il believe these appropriations in
entire fairness to the counties and
to the State, can properly be discon-
tinued. Unless mistaken, the Gus
tom of donating these amounts was
begun before the inception of the
Department. Since the Gre
alton of the said Highway Depart
ment, the State has built and is
in New Castle county,
1853 miles of improved roads; in Kent
county, PIG miles and in Sussex
county 303 miles. Moreover, the
State Highway Department, begin
ming this year, plans to include in
its system, the improvement and
of number of miles of
earth roads, the cost of which is very
certain to far exceed $4,000 hereto
