STATE CENSUS SUPERVISION
Former Governor w. ID. Denney
VIII be Probably Named Director

Former Goveror, William D.Den-
ney, will probably be named to di-
rect the forthcoming census in Del
aware, when it was learned last
week that Senators Daniel o. Hast
ings, Senator John G. Townsend ,Jr.
and Representative Robert G.Hous-
ton, had joined in recommending to
the director Of the census the ap-
pointment of the former Delaware
Governor. Governor Denney would
have the task of directing approx
imately $50 enumerators. Accord
ing to the plans of the bureau of
the census, there will be approx
mately 100 enumerators engaged in
New Castle county, about 80 in
Kent county, and approximately 40
in Sussex county. The headquart-
ers of the supervisor will probably
be in Wilmington, although this
question will be decided later. An
office force for the supervision will
be necessary which also will be Sc
lected at later date.

EARLY APPLES IN MARKET
First Varieties Will Begin to Move
This Week Under New Law

From present indications, ship
ment of early apples from Della
ware will begin from June 20 to
25. The principal varieties are
Yellow Transparents, Williams
Early Red, Fourth of July, Early
Ripe, and Red Astrachan. The ap-
pie crop in Delaware will be CON
siderably short of last year. Trees,
generally, are not heavily loaded;
however, a crop of the finest quail
ity and size ever produced is ex-
pected. Buyers and dealers are ac-
Quainting themselves with the new
Delaware law pertaining to the
marking or branding of all closed
packages of apples. This law pro-
vides that all closed packages of
apples sold, offered for sale, ship
ped, or consigned from Delaware
must be marked with the owners
name and addres, the variety, the
minimum size or range of sizes,
and the grade. The grades are the
same as those established by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
except that in Delaware the "U. S.
No. 2" grade may be marked either
~. S. No. 2" or "Choice." This
law was sponsored by the apple
growers and shippers of Delaware
and an honest effort will be made
to enforce it. It's purpose is to en-
courage the production of better
quality fruit and to improve and
advance the apple industry in this
State, as well as to create conf
dence among the buyers, dealers,
and consumers of Delaware apples.
Growers generally, seem anxious
to secure as high quality fruit as
possible and it is believed that ap-
pies produced in this State will
merit increased purchases if prop
erly handled. The Delaware Bureau
of Markets is cooperating fully.

REYKJAVIK Iceland. June IL
-lPp-Capt. Albin Ahrenberg in his
seaplane, the Sverige, returned here
at CPS a. m. (5:25 q. N. z. s. ~
after taking off at 6:35 Q. m. C2.3o
a. m, Z. S. t., for Ivigtut, Green
land, IN continuation Of his flight
from Stockholm TO New York.
1t was the second time today the
fliers had got into the air success
fully and had to return. The heavy
fuel load forced them back about 4
a. m. also.
Fuel Line Broken
From Reykjavik TO Ivigtut IS a
little more than 900 miles. The
plane already had flown approx
mately 400 miles from Stockholm
to Bergen, and Bergen to ReykIa-
vik. punctuated with wait of sew
eral hours when the seaplane was
forced down on the southeast Ice
landic coast by q broken fuel line.
Capt. Ahrenberg and his two
companions, Lieut.. AXel Floden and
Mechanic Hans Ljunglund, studied
weather reports offered by the
Reykjavik meteorological station
closely before making the decision
to leave. While these reports were
none too good they indicated i'm
provement over former adverse
conditions.
The aviators arrived at Reykja-
vik at 7:43 p. m C3:48 p. m. Z. S.
TJ yesterday from Vestmann
Island. south of Iceland and about
60 miles from Reykjavik. They had
been towed there earlier by gov
ernment boats which speeded to
their aid when they made forced
landing at Skaptaros late Sunday.
so Miles in IS Minutes
The flight over the so miles was
made in 35 minutes. Arriving they
were met by the mayor and town
council, who escorted them to the
Hotel Iceland for a banquet while
spectators on the quays sang the
Swedish national anthem.
Their plane functioned perfectly,
they said. The slight damage 1t re-
ceived when ii alighted near Skap-
taros had been repaired and it was
only necessary to alight at Rey-
kjavik TO secure fuel for the long
acroSs-water flight to the south
west Greenland coast.

CEMETERY
AS SURETY FOR
BOND OFFERED

Trials before the United States
commissioner as a rule are at
tempts by the defendant TO gain
freedom from jail pending the
date when the trial Of the ac-
cuSed is to take place.
Hence, they usually are most
serious affairs.
But, as in all serious matters,
comedy must have its inning. 1t
happened so in a case when
Commissioner Z. X. Goodrich in
formed the applicant for bond
that he must have property val
ued at $500 to offer as security.
Well" said the defendant, in
all earnestness, Il offer you my
cemetery lot in st. Louis"
He was informed that the gov
ernment had no use for ceme-
terry lots. and is awaiting trial in
the place he most wanted to
avoid-the county Jail.
