ANOTHER PROHIBITION ENFORCE
 MENT MURDER.

On the face of things there seems no excuse for the Customs official who shot and killed worthy Minnesota citizen who riding in an automo- bile with his wife and failed to stop when he was ordered to do so He suspected of having liquor in the car The circumstance that there no
 liquor in the emphasizes the crminality of promiscuous shooting by armed officers at suspected bootleggers. But as a matter of fact, the crime would have been none the less heinous if it had been full of liquor.
 The circumstance that Customs officials said that the man, like all others in the Customs service had been instructed not to use his gun except in selfdefense is creditable to that service. However there should be more than formal instructions not to kill given to officers who tote guns An officer has no more right to a gun than private citizen, and the fact that this principle ought to be more thoroughly impressed upon those who are attempting enforce the Volstead Act is testified by the constantly growing list of lives sacrificed in that work

A Real Staff Chief.
Cincinnati. Enquirere. )

President Hoover meets both the popular and army favorable sentiment by retaining Gen Charles P. Summerall Chief of the Army General Staff
 Summerall one of the conspicuous combat officers in armies during the World War He has served but two years of the usual four-year term His experience in actual warfare of major proportions should assure his efficiency as head of the staff in time of peace
 With Sumnerall at the head of the General Staff system it may be expected that he will effect reforms essential to this changing and that he will create a competent national fighting force.
 The present head of the staff is in remot- est carpet soldier or routine martnet. He is opposed to favoritism that may be undeserved He is the friend of the fighting soldier. He is not particularly enamoured of the kind of soldiers who wear decorations not won on the field of battle It is not exaggeraton to say of him that he is one of the abest officers in the army. That he is a soldier and gentleman goes without saying. The President has acted wisely in retaining this gallant and capable officer to continue in charge of the army

OILING OF ROADS COMPLETE
Program for Entire Eastern Shore
Has Been Completed

The oiling of State macadam
roads on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland has been completed for
this year, it was announced bv
Harry D. Williar, chief engineer of
the State Roads Commission. The
work is also practically done in all
parts of the state. According to
Mr.. Williar, approximately one
third of all the macadam and gray
el roads in Maryland have been oil
Ell this year amounting to 400
miles. During 1928 a total of 462
miles of State roads were oiled.
The oiling of roads in Queen
Anne's county was completed sew
eral weeks ago the principal work
being done between Wye Mills and
ChestertoWn, which is the longest
stretch of macadam road in the
county. There was only a total of
thirty-four miles of road oiled on
the entire Eastern Shore this wear.
Mr.. Williar said. Construction OF
concrete roads, largely in the nine
county area during recent years
has eliminated the necessity of the
oiling operations. The work has
been rushed during the past few
weeks to avoid interference with
TRAFFIC during the summer months.

The State Motor Vehicle Depart
ment has found it absolutely neces-
sary to place limit on the tenn
porary instruction permits for new
drivers according to an announce
ment made this week by William
Ball, Director of the Department

not the desire of the Department
to place any unnecessary hardship
upon an applicant, states Mr.. Bal
but it was found that something
had to be done to Illustrate the

ary permits or they would be u.s.
ing them all summer. In accord
ance with his plans, Mr.. Ball has
sent the following Instructions re-
garding the temporary permits to
the State police and all motor We
hicle inspectors: 1T is a ruling of
the Motor Vehicle Department al
lowing but one renewal during a
period of six months, dating from
the date of issuance of the origin
al instruction Permit. For exam
pie; a person issued a Temporary
Instruction Permit dated June fst,
said permit is valid for & period
Of thirty days from date issued
stamped thereon. At the expira-
tion Of thirty days, if the applicant
has not passed the required exam
ination, he or she may apply at the
offices where said examinations are
held and the Examining Officer
will stamp the Permit with the re
newal'' stamp, signing his name
and dating same. The Permit with
the renewal stamp by the Exam
ming Officer should then be mailed
or delivered to the Motor Vehicle
Department at Dover. Upon re-
ceipt of the original Permit stamp
ed renewal" the Department will
issue another Permit which will be
valid for an additional thirty days
from date of issuance of the re-
neWal permit. Should the appli-
cant fail to pass the required ex-
animation at the expiration of the
thirty day period, as specified on
the second Temporary Instruction
Permit another permit shall not be
issued the said applicant for a
period of six months from the date
of issuance as stamped on the orig
inal Permit, and the second or re-
newal Permit will not be valid at

fed thereon, and shall be returned

CANICULA, \ STAR, IN VIEW
Hay Fever, Mad Dogs, Sour Wine
Laid to Canicula, the Dog Star

LaId TO Canicula, the Dog Star
Dog days are here. According
to the experts the season began
Monday when Canicula, the Dog
Star rose. If anything goes wrong
during the season when the Dog
Star is supposed to rule, it is per-
fectly proper to blame it on dog
days. Mad dogs, hay fever and
sour wine are some of the things
for which the star is supposed to
be responsible. At least the theory
that Canicula could turn wine sour,
bring on the sneezing fever and
make dogs go mad, was popular
with the Greeks two thousand
years ago. In ancient times the
star rose in August but as the CEN
turies passed it has been displaying
itself earlier. However the SUPER
stition has remained with MANY
through the years. Perhaps this
early showing of Canicula has
helped to partly destroy the old
superstitions attached to it. ANA
teur wine fermenters have discoy-
cred how to ruin their wine with
out the influence of any star, and
the goldenrod has become the fash
ionable way to have hay fever.

FINE QUALITY EARLY APPLES
Fruit Growers of Delaware Have
Chance to Make Profit This Year


Chance to Make Profit This Year
Short crops of early apples from
other apple bearing states combin-
ed with the exceptionally fine quail
ity of the Delaware crop this sum-
mer has resulted in the market
price for early apples being most
encouraging one this year. Orch
ardists, who have fairly good
crop of early varieties this year
stand a chance to make more ac-
tual profit than for several years.
I Chief Inspector Zimmerman of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, who for many years has
been supervising the inspection
work in Delaware stated Friday
that while the crop was not a
bumper one, that this had worked
to the advantage of the grower.
The apples are sizing up better, he
said and are largely without the
defects or diseases, that normally
infect early apples. According to
w. t. Derickson, director of the
Bureau of Markets, the price last
week ranged from S1.75 to S2.75
for the best stuff, and a greater
amount of U. S. No. l apples are
being obtained this year than for
several years. Delaware apples,
Mr.. Derickson said are going to a
dozen states in the east and middle
west. Those going the greatest
distance are shipped by train while
those destined for markets within
two or three hundred miles are go
ing by both train and truck. Early
apples are not of the character to
be canned like late fruit and must
be used almost at once. None are
exported, because the fruit would
not stand the journey like the fall
apple varieties. Cne development
of the crop is that this year prac-
tically all of the crop is being gov
ernment inspected. Considering
the opposition to inspection demon
strated four or five years ago, this
is little short of remarkable. But
the growers have learned that they
can market apples much easier
and usually at an increase in price
when fruit carries guarantee of the
government.
