WOMEN AT LUNCHEON
WITH LEGISLATORS

teachers retirement fund. In touch
ing the school question, Mrs. Fraim
said the people of Delaware should
give their children of today the best
they could in all lines of education
and health as the child of today is
the citizen of tomorrow.
Among the beauty spots referred
to was the beach at RehOboth, the
Glendale swamps, familiar to all
tourists and the Brandywine. In clos
ing Mrs. Fraim urged her hearers to
remember that while Delaware is a
little State it can be made a great
little State"
Governor-elect Buck and Mrs.
Jane w. Pennewill, a past president
of the Wilmington Federation of the
w. C. T. u, had as their subject,
"Our Delaware, Tomorrow"
Tribute to the women was paid by
Mrs. Pennewill for the part they
took in the recent campaign. She
said they were in no way apathetic.
The standardization of any nation
said Mrs. Pennewill, has never gone
above the laws which govern the ma
ton, and neither can any State reach
a higher standard than the laws
which their Legislature make for it.
Therefore, Mrs. Pennewill said, the
residents should cast aside fear and
pass only such laws as will add to
the welfare of the State and nation.
In closing Mrs. Pennewill said:
"This Delaware of ours, your Della
ware and my Delaware, the first
State. the Diamond State, it is so
small it may be easily travelled from
Claymont to RehObOth. Our people
who are homogeneous are friendly
with one another whether they dwell
in New Castle, Kent or Sussex. This
diamond State can with constructive
legislation and the earnest efforts on
the part of our people, be made a
white diamond, a scintillating dia-
mond and be able to throw the
bright gleam as did old Henlopen
light to the mariners on the sea"
Mrs. Pennewill referred to the
good roads of the State through the
efforts of Governor-elect Buck. The
schools were also lauded as to what
they have done and what they will
do for the boys and girls of the
State.
The luncheon opened with chant
sung by four members of the junior
section of the Wilmington New Cen
tury Club. These young women were
Mrs. Stacey Satterthwait, Miss Eliza
beth S. Young, Mrs. William Lyman,
Mrs. James Truss. They were dress
ed in white and wore sashes of blue
and yellow, the States colors.
The committee in charge of the
luncheon consisted of Mrs. T. W.
Jakes, Mrs. S. P. Rolph, Mrs. Jane
w. Pennewill, Mrs. William H. Bea-
com, Mrs. ]. T. Hilles, Mrs. Richard
Mrs. J. R. Kuhns, Mrs.
Helen w. Simpson, Mrs. Elizabeth
P. Burnite, Mrs. Bertha M. Foster,
Mrs. D. A. Hay, Mrs. Patrichia Man
chester, Mrs. Joseph H. Martin, Mrs.
James N. Ginns, Mrs. Richard Sid
we'll and Mrs. A. D. Warner.
The committee extended thanks to
Elmer Betty for contributing the |
flowers for the luncheon, to William |
P. White, who directed the singing, |
and to Charles P. Edwards, who |
furnished instrumental music.

will be asked to take some action
toward relieving local tax burdens
when the State is amply able to
take care of so many bonds through
the sinking fund.
Despite the fact that Delaware
ans have been pointing with con-
siderable pride to the fact that the
state would have a surplus esIi-
mated at perhaps $6,000,000 at the
end of the fiscal year ending on
June 80 next, none appeared to think
of this new source of income. If
the amount received from the estate
is $4,OO0,O0O, the State ought to
have an uneXpended balance or
surplus of $1O,OOO,00O. Every de-
partmental source of state revenue
increased during the past fiscal
year and the financial condition OF
Delaware at the end of June next
will be such as has never been
equalled by Delaware.

special act of Legislature of 1927,
was named as secretary of state.
The office of assistant secretary of
state automatically expires on the
third Tuesday in January, 1923,
under the special act creating the
office.
Two other governors of Delaware
in recent years have had more than
one secretary of state during their
term of office, the first one of the
two being former Governor Simeon
S. Pennewell, who appointed as his
first secretary of state, Daniel o.
Hastings, now United States Sena-
tor from Delaware. Mr.. Hastings
resigned when Governor Pennewill
appointed him as a member OF the
state courts, which position he
held until appointed judge of the
Municipal Court of Wilmington.
Governor Pennewill's second secre-
tary of state was the late William
T. Smithers, who died suddenly al
ter holding the office several
months. Governor Pennewills
third appointment was the present
Judge of the Supreme Court from
Sussex county, Charles S. Richards,
who held the appointment until the
expiration of Governor Pennewills
term.
Governor Charles r. Miller, who
bad two secretaries of state, name
ly his son, Thomas w. Miller, who
resigned when elected to Congress
after two years of service. George
Fl. Hall. of Milford, was appointed
by Governor Miller to succeed his
son, Mr.. Hall holding the Office un-
til the expiration of Governor Mil
ler's term.

HIGHWAY BODY PLANS
CUTOFF AT DOVER
[CsSfrnued from frH pGgel

Fines collected by the State police
were more than $1,000 last year
over the year previous. In 1928 the
total was $56,5O4. The amount for
1927 was $45,S69.
Engineers of the State Highway
Commission have completed another
survey to relieve Dover from traffic
congestion. This survey starts from
the police station north of Dover and
emerges at the triangle one mile be-
low Dover. The highway commission
has also made survey that cnerges
at Magnolia. Both of these routes
will be considered and possibly one
of them decided upon for construc-
ton this year.
Both proposed routes replace the
suggestion by Dover City Council,
which urged the use Of Governors
avenue. In the minds of traffic ex-
perts use of Governors avenue
would in no way eliminate traffic
congestion. What they recommend
is cut-offs as much as possible, in
order to get away from crowding up
narrow streets, through towns,
whose streets were never intended
for the increasing traffic of today.
Chief Engineer W. w. Mack, with
the highway commission, will this
year conduct experiments in the
building of cheaper roads in sections
that are little travelled. The use of
concrete or asphalt is too expensive
for road that probably would only
be used by a few persons. None of
these cheaper roads in question are
main arteries, but lateral roads.
The sample road built year ago
by placing sand on top of the clay
has so far proved successful. The
main object in the building of cheap
roads is to provide drainage. In this
sample road, built near Bishops
Corner, New Castle county, a ma
chine was used that made a crown
to the road, thus allowing the water
to drain off.
Another idea being advanced is to
spread a layer of fine crushed stone
on top of the clay This would grad
ually work into the clay and would
be replaced with additional stone
wherever it was needed. This kind of
a road, however, would also need
drainage in order that the mainte-
nance cost might not be too great.

GOVERNOR BUCK TO
Be INDUCTED WITH
SIMPLE CEREMONIES
rCsrtinred frsm Srst pasel

Hall Anderson presided over the
Senate on Monday Senator Simon
ton also introduced bill to amend
the general corporation laws of the
State. One section of the law reads
as follows; Sec. 15-Certiticates OF
shares EVERY stockholder shall
have a certificate signed by the
president or vice-president and the
treasurer or an assistant treasurer
or the secretary, certifying the
number of shares owned by him Ill
such corporations"
The Simonton Bill would add the
following to this section: "Provid-
ed, that where any such certlhcates
Is signed by transfer agent or
transfer clerk and by a registrar,
the signatures of any such presl-
dent, vice-president, treasurer, as
Sistant treasurer, secretary or as
sistant secretary may be facslmlles'
engraved or printed.
Senator w. F. Deputy, Democrat
withdrew a bill he introduced ear
lier in the day Senator Deputy
pill, which was then introduced as
Senate Bill No. 2, is to be called
supplementary Appropriation Bill.
Later he introduced a similar Dill.
known as Senate Bill No. 4. Both
bills authorized the State to pay
each year, all the highway improve
ment bonds in each county that the
counties would have to pay. Sen
ate Bill No. 2, would make the stip-
ulation perpetual, while Senate Bill
No. would provide for such legls-
lation for two years only. Both
bills were referred to the finance
committee.
A like bill was introduced and
passed two years ago taking care OF
those county roads which include
the State-aid bonds falling due the
TWO years ending June 80, 1929.
Under another bill passed two
years ago the interest on all the
county road bonds is paid by the
State annually. Senator Deputy
fathered the two-year bill at the
last session of the Legislature anc
it is his idea at this time to- try 10
have the State assume this county
obligations as to good roads BONDS
Herpetually.
While he had no figures at mana
1t is understood that the amount OF
bonds falling due for the next few
Years that the State would have to
assume under this bill would be ap-
proximately 100000 year.
Both houses adopted joint reso-
luton introduced by Representative
Virden naming Thomas w. Records,
of Laurel, bill clerk for the House
and Montgomery McVaugh, of The
Cedars, bill clerk for the Senate.
These clerks were selected in the
caucuses last week but under the
law they have to be elected by
Joint resolution while the other
clerks are elected from the floor.
Both houses adopted a concurrent
resolution introduced by Senator
Simonton authorizing the organlza-
ton of the budget committee COM
posed of the House Committee on
appropriations and. the Senate Com
mittee on finance, by the election OF
a chairman and secretary and to ar
range for public hearings on tie
budget. The committee will organ
lie in a few days and the hearings

MAN MOURNED AS
DEAD ACCUSED OF
INSURANCE TRICK
Boys Worker at Evansville
Declared to Be Heavily
in Debt.

RU Times Special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 10. -
Charges stand here today that Allen
S. Yeager, %, business man and
boys worker, did not drown in the
Ohio river Saturday with Russell
Morris, IL, but disappeared in the
hope of collecting insurance money.
R. H. Pennington, Yeager's
father-in-laW, told newspaper men
that the supposedly dead man was
in debt to the extent of $4,000 and
that he had staged the drowning
as a hoax. The father-in-laW also
explained that insurance was made
payable to Mrs. Yeager, although he
did not know the exact amount.
Carl CoWles, II, is said to have
told newspaper men of helping
Yeager execute the hoax.
According to reports, Cowles
drove Yeager's automobile to the
river, where a small boat had bees
sunk. He said he aided because he
was afraid to refuse. He also said
he had written Yeager since he was
supposed to have drowned.
August HenelSon, chief of police,
said evidence presented had con-
WINGED him that Yeager had kid
mapped Morris and fled the state.
