REPORT CLEARS STATE ROADS
COMMISSION

Dishonesty of a number OF en-
ployes and the failure of those
charged with the duty of auditing to
discharge their functions properly
were given as the basic causes for
pecu)ations totaling $376,000 from
the State Roads Commission in the
report of findings submitted Tuesday
night to the grand inquest committee
of the Legislature by it's counsel.
The report stated that the sugges-
ton or charge that such expenses
and long dishonesty on the part OF
the commissions employees could not
nay 1 existed without the fault of the
members Of the commission or its
chairman was radically unjust"
"T'hey (the members of the COM
mission, including John N. Mackali,
chairman) relied and were entitled
to rely, so long as no facts were
brought to their attention which
aroused their suspicious, upon the
auditing of the accounts of the offic-
ials charged with that duty" the re-
port stared.

NEW UNIFORMS FOR della
WARES HIGHWAY POLICE

Delaware's Highway Police may
patrol the roads this summer in a
colorful uniform, instead of the drab
grey that they now wear, it was re-
vealed by Superintendent e. G. Rey-
nolds. Mr.. Reynolds said that plans
are now being prepared for a sum-
mer uniform which will probably in
clude a dark blue coat with trousers
of lighter color. The uniforms, he
said, will be tailored in the same de-
sign as the present ones.
The change from the regulation
black corded suit with grey TRIM
mings is being made because of the
resemblance the patrolmen have to
bus drivers, who also wear Sam
Browne belts, and attendants at gas
oline stations, as we'll as many others
who have been logged out in uni
forms and puttees.
Many motorists who have been
overtaken by the partolmen have de-
clared that the reason they did not
stop when called upon to do so was
because they did not recognize them
as policemen and thought it was
some scheme to have them stop at a
tourist camp or something of the
kind.

EIKTON RAILROAD RUMORs
Pennsylvania Not To Eliminate
Curve Now, Officials Says

SAbC ANONP OhANAAeAo hcety .
Reports circulated recently, that
the Pennsylvania Railroad plans to
begin relocation of it's tracks at Elk
ton, to eliminate sharp curve, were
denied officially by officials Of the
railroad in Philadelphia.
The purchase of property immedi-
ately north of Elkton by the railroad
gave rise to rumors which have been
circulated periodically during the
last fifteen years.
One of the shapest curves on the
Pennsylvania system lies just north
of Elkton and the railroad began
several years ago to buy property for
the purpose of eliminating the curve.
The new route of the tracks would
locate the station at Elkton about
one-half mile north of its present
site.
E. B. Temple, chief engineer OF
the eastern division of the Pennsyl-
vania, said that the project has been
under consideration for many years.
but that there is no plan for develo-
ping it in the near future. The
work has not been authorized at this
time and no funds have been allocat-
ed for it, he said.
The railroad has purchased NUM-
erous properties from time to time
when they could be bought to advan7
tage, he said, preparatory to eIImin-s
ating the curve and also grade cross
ings in and near Elkton. There is'
no prospect of this work being done
for some time however, he asserted

PETTY THEIVING IN LANCASTER
COUNTY

Numerous thefts recently of chick

In some cases farmers hvae been
standing guard at night with shot
guns, watching their property. The
situation has become so alarming
that special meeting of the Fulton
Detective Association was held this
week, with Pennsylvania and Mary
land officers present, to consider
ways and means looking to the ap-
prehension of the guilty parties.

ing several coats each season.
1t used to be that a woman with
good taste knew that she needed
perhaps two daytime coats and
an evening one for Winter, be-
sides her suits.
Now women know what they
can create stunning ensembles
by adding just the right type Of
coat to frocks they have and
therefore they feel the need Of
almost as many coats as frocks.
This change greatly improves
the smartness Of women when
they are shopping, attending
matinees, teaing or in all places
where their outer garments show.
The Spring season is even
more interesting from a coat
point of view than the Winter.
For often Winter coats are so
iavishly fur trimmed that it is
difficult for a woman to have
as many as she would like.
Spring coats, on the other
hand, are of thinner fabric and
can be styled more like a frock.
A woman feels she must have
several to look her smartest. The
first coat one buys for Spring
and if it is to be the only one,
this is surely true-should be Of
some smartly simple line, Of a
color that goes we'll with many
things and of a cut of which onE
does not tire. Gray and beige
shades are the most satisfactory
basic colors for ones first
Spring coat.
The coat illustrated here II
unusually distinctive, and if you
are one of those fortunates who
can afford a few coatx, it will
prove a good investment. IT IS
of green wool crepe, cut with a
slight but graceful flare, and IS
trimmed with darker green bands.
