Kingsford- Smith credited the radio
with having saved himself and his
companions, but said a shortage of gas
oline was responsible for their having
failed to reach the United States. New
York was the original goal Of the flyers
but when the weather conditions led
them to doubt that they would reach
that city, they set their hearts on at
least landing in American territory. BY
so doing they would have surpassed the
distance record of the German Bremen
flyers on the first successful westward
crossing Of the Atlantic by airplane.
KingSford-Sm was brief In his
comments. He said:
"Only for the wonderful wireless
radio we would never have been able
to land here. We had rotten night.
We few over this territory almost all
night waiting for chance to land. We
were in the air more than 80 hours
and experienced very foggy weather
and trouble with the compass. These
caused delay. We will leave for New
York at daybreak tomorrow after re-
fueling. We were hoping to reach New
York without stop. but shortage of
gas prevented this. We will ny to San
Francisco after reaching New York,
thereby completing an around-the-worlo

GAMERS PACK
HALF NORMAL
Senator Townsend Esti-
mates Decrease In State
Due To Drought
ALL CROPS SUFFER

The pack of various products by
Delaware Gamers this year will not
reach fifty per cent of the normal
pack, according to United States
Senator John C. Townsend; Jr., and
others in close contact with the con-
ditions. 1t is expected that the pack
of some products will not be over 20
or 80 per cent of normal.
According to Senator Townsend
the pack of lima beans will be very
short in Delaware. The same was
true of string beans. In some sec
tiOns of the State where there has
been slight rain there is good crop
of tomatoes but in other sections
the crop is short and there will not
be more than so per cent pack. The
pack of string beans will not exceed
20 per cent and the lima beans crop
packed will not be over 40 per CEN
At present the canneries which
have started operations are canning
lima beans and string beans. A few
have started on corn. The tomato
crop in most parts of the State has
also suffered considerably and the
same is true of corn which few
canneries are now packing.
In some parts of the State the en-
ployees in the canneries are local
people for the first time in years.
Outside labor is being used in some
places where the supply of labor is
limited.

STATE HEALTH HEAD
FEARS TYPHOID
Use OF Impure Water Supply Should
Be Guarded Against

In view of the prevalence of ty-
phoid fever in various parts of Del
aware and in towns adjacent to
Delaware, DR.. A. c. Jost, executive
secretary of the State Board of
Health in calling attention to the
citizens of Delaware to be beware
of this dreaded disease, states that
the occurrence of drought and low
ground water has effects, both i'm
mediate and remote, on the pros
poets for health of those afflicted by
it.
When water is scarce, it follows
that impure water supplies-which
would not be used in times of plen-
ty-are sometimes used. Disease
may follow the use of these second
choice waters, and be the immedi-
ate result of outbreaks of typhoid
fever, he declared.
Effects may be no less evident,
states DR.. Jost, if a prolonged
drought is followed by heavy rain
fall which washes the accumulated
filth into water courses and thence

At the last session of the General

three instead of two which it al

made necessary because the vote in
the first election district was too
large to handle. The district was di-
vided at the demand of both ReDub-
licans and Democrats, all of whom
realized the tremendous task con-

division will make it much easier for
all voters on the Sussex side of Mil

STATE TO RECEIVE
$6O9,375 AS SHARE
Must Meet All Conditions
Imposed By Secretary

TO RELIEVE JOBLESS

In connection with the apportion-
ment of highway funds, $121,875,COO,
of which Delaware's share is $685.

Washington, announces that he will
use his discretion as to approval of
highway projects, and imposes con-
ditions which the States must meet.
1t is the purpose of the early al
lotment of funds to enable the
States to anticipate the Federal
funds and speed up construction
programs to give employment to
men out of work or adversely af-
fected by the drought disaster. The
Secretary of Agriculture proposes to
see to it that the purposes of the
Government are carried into effect.
Hence he will not give blanket to all
projects that are submitted.
Delaware, under the conditions
imposed, must give assurance that
the State has obligated itself and
has under construction all or prac-
tically all of the Federal funds pre-
viously allotted. Further;
hat 0JclIC NC ACAhAAON ~
each project in an amount sufficient
to meet the Federal aid funds on
the legally established basis. This
would not exclude the voluntary
contribution of additional county or
local funds but would require the
State itself to provide a minimum
amount equal to the Federal pro
rate required, basically so per cent
of Federal funds.
That the State Highway Depart
ment submit with each project a
statement showing that the project
if expedited would assist in proVid-
ing employment in the drought areas
or would directly contribute to the
relief of unemployment in a sub
stantial way.
The State will receive the money
as the work on the various cOnstruc-
ton jobs is completed. The condi-
tions require that the State provide
an amount to equal the Federal al
lotment before the money is receiV-
ed.

Kent Republicans Discuss POssibil-

nearness of the party primaries and
conventions. Republicans in the
Tenth Representative District of
Kent county, which composes Mil
ford, Houston and Milford Neck, are
quietly discussing candidates for the
several county and State offices. The
office of representative is coming in
for its share of the consideration,
and at the present time one of the
men under discussion for the nomi-
nation Is Henderson Davis, far
mer residing at Millwood, just north
of Milford. Mr.. Davis has been
lifelong Republican and, while his
nomination is by no means assured
as yet, favorable comment on the
possibility of his selection is being
heard on all sides.
AS yet no candidate has been
brought forth by the Democrats in
the Tenth District.
