B0RER SITUATION
 DEFIES SOLUTION. Proposal to Free KensinSton
 From Ban Is Turned Down GETS LARGE BRICK ORDER
Local Yard Material for Ncwineton
 Home-Tirc Threatens Lower Lane Drunken Driver Jailed-Par'l-
 ing Forces Fence Replacement.

The corn borcr situation has be- come moro acute, as far as Berlin and kensington farmers arc concern cd. as a result of the refusal of fed oral authorities to split the quaran- tine district. It was the hope of the farmers interested that an arbitrary boundary line might be established along the New Haven railroad tracks. It was their contention that kensngton, where no evidence of in- lection has been noted, was unfairly made subject to the rigors of the quarantine. This solution was vetoed by L. H. Worthey of Boston, federal official in charge of the corn boror work, on the grounds that such a course of action would cause a breakdown of the entire protective structure.
 The far-rcaching effect of this de- cision is d worry to those in charge of the relief work and they arc at q loss to know just what steps arc to be taken next to combat the situ- ation. William l.. Slate, director of the Connecticut agricultural eSperi- ment station in New Haven, has said that further discussion of the matter must bring about a solution other than a change i'll the quaran- tine area.
 Discussion of the subject with Miss Margaret Flynn, clerk at the Kcnsington post oaicc. has disclosed that certain flowers are also under ban. It seems that many flowers such as chrycanth cnums, asters, cosmos, zinnias, hollyhoclis, ,dahlias and many others. are susceptible to the infectious ravagcs of the pest. AS q. consequence of the danger from this source, removal of any of these plants, unless certified as free from infection, is prohibited.
 The effect of the quarantine and the uncertainty of the outcome ap- parently indicate that the farmers are about settled on the idea that the raising of corn for profit is out ot the.question for this year at least and very little activity in this line is expected.
 Grass Tire Threatens
 A grass fire on the property of George Reed of Lower lane, which was first noticed last evening about 7;S0 o'clock, assumed dangerous proportions, Fire Warden George Griffith was called to the scene. and, after a hard fight, the fire was ex. tinguished with no loss to property. The origin of the blaze could not be learned.

outside of Odessa. There were
eighteen bidders for this section of
road but one bid was thrown out
because it was not in proper shape.

fixes which will be when there is
no danger of the concrete being
damaged by cold weather.

DELAWARE CITY Is REFUSED
Old Canal Thru Town Not Recon-
mended For 12-FOOt Channel

The proposal to dredge the Del
aware City branch channel of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
to low-tide depth of twelve feet,
is not approved by 1t. Col. R. P.
Howell, U. S. Engineer for the
Wilmington District. Colonel How
ell last week wrote to all interest
ed persons to the effect that he
has submitted to Washington an
unfavorable report on the project
The branch channel extending
from the Delaware River to the
main canal is now being maintain
ed at a low-tide depth of six feet.
The main canal has low-tide
depth of twelve feet. Delaware
City interests for some time have
been endeavoring to have the gov
ernment dredge the branch chan
ned to the same depth. Colonel
Howell in his report on the project
states that the proposed improve
ment might be of some benefit to
local interests but added that it
would seem that the probability of
commercial development would be
too uncertain to warrant

BODY OF YOUTH Is FOUND

Lansdowne, Pa, Off Bowers Beach

The body of young Robert Cloth
ier, of Lansdowne, Pa, who had
been missing since December A
when he and Daniel Diehl went out
ducking from Benefits pier, three
miles south of Bowers Beach, was
found Sunday by Charles P.French
Jr., of Milford Neck, near Ben
nett's pier in about IL feet of wat
er. Identification was made by
two rings he wore, one on each
hand. His body was taken to Do
yer. A jury summoned by Coroner
Hinsley in another case immedi-
ately held an inquest on the body
of the young man and decided that
he came to his death from acci-
dental drowning. There were no
marks of any kind on the body
Because his mother was a native
of Delaware and most of her FAM
lily are buried here, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar f. Clothier, of Lansdowne,
buried their son Robert in Lake

eral took place from the home of

MUSKRAT SEASON CHANGE
Trappers of Lower Delaware VIII
Ask for Longer Closed Season

At the coming session of the
Delaware Legislature it is likely
that the muskrat trappers of low
er Delaware will ask that a law be
passed making the open season for
these animals on January l in
stead of December 1. While the
season opened the first of this
month, trappers who engage in the
business extensively have not put
out their traps to any extent on
the Delaware River and Delaware
Bay marshes. The reason for this
is because weather conditions have
not been favorable for trapping.
Muskrats are reported to be
abundant along the Delaware
shore. A successful season is
anticipated between the Christmas
holidays and March 10

HELD-UP AND ROBBED Of S73
KEHTON- -SUDLERSV|LLE ROAD
CLAYTON KIMBLES, STOPPED
TO FIX TIRE, is WAYLAID
Struck Over Head With Piece of
Iron-Robbers Make Complete
Getaway in Pennsylvania Car

Beaten and robbed of S73 by two
highwaymen in an automobile be-
tween Sudlersville, Md, and Ken
ton, Tuesday night of last week,
Clayton Kimbles, formerly of near
Price, Md, but now employed in
Delaware, reported the alleged
hold-up to Delaware motorcycle
police, who are tracing the move
ments of Chevrolet sedan bear
ing a Pennsylvania license. Mr..
Kimbles recalled that the first
three units of the license were
'H-15." He says that the high
waymen struck him over the head
twice with some instrument which
appeared to be similar to a tire
iron, took the S73 from him and
left him in a dazed condition by
the road side. Residents of Tenn
pleville saw q car similar to the
one described by Kimbles on Tues
day proceeding from Sudlersville
toward Kenton,, and when at a
point between Anderson's Corner
and Downes Chapel he was halted
by two men standing beside
Chevrolet sedan. They asked him
if he would stop at the next town
and have some one bring them five
gallons as their supply had become
exhausted. One of the men hand
ed him five dollar bill with the
request that he give one dollar to
whoever might bring the gas, and
keep another dollar for himself,
returning them three dollars
change. When Mr.. Kimbles reach
ed in his pocket to obtain change
one of the men struck him across
the head, and as the hold up vic
tim jumped from his car to defend
himself the other man struck him
in the forehead. The robbers ac-
cording to Mr. Kimbles, took the
money and while he was still in a
dazed condition, jumped into their
car and sped away. Previous to
the attack, Mr. Kimbles says he
had not noticed the numbers on
the license but remembered it was
a Pennsylvania marker and recall
ed the first three units He is Of
the opinion that there also were
three other numbers but he could
not remember them. Proceeding
to Templeville, Mr.. Kimbles exhib-
tied q painful scalp wound and an
other cut in his forehead, and ask
ed that the Delaware authorities
be notified. This morning no clue
had been obtained as to the ident-
ity of the highwaymen

WOMAN HIKER WORE PANTS
Motorist Sped Away After Seeing
Mans Garb Beneath Dress

Highway police at the State
Road station have a basket and
two loaded revolvers they would
like the former owner to call for.
Incidentally they would like to
have conversation with the ''wo-
man" who lost" those weapons.
Here's why: A Philadelphia mo
torist and his wife, who have
friends in Wilmington, went down
State one day last week on busi-
ness trip. While returning late in
the afternoon north of Dover, they
were hailed by a woman" wear
ing a dress that about reached to
the road, and who wore q hat that
partly concealed the face, and car
ried basket with newspaper in
it. The motorist stopped and the
woman" requested a lift" AS
the driver assented, the woman"
placed the basket inside the car
and started to Chamber in. The
motorist, peering into his mirror,
was surprised to see about six
inches of a trouser leg protrude
from the dress of the woman"
hitch-hiker as "she put a foot on
the running board. Would you
mind looking at the right rear tire
before you get in, it feels like it
needs air." the driver, with pres
ence of mind asked his prospective
passenger. AS the woman" walk
ed back of the car to look at the
tire the motorist sped away. I'm
going to have a look into that bas-
ket" he remarked, as he stopped
the car, near Smyrna. Reaching
for the basket, he lifted the news
paper in it, and was startled to
find two loaded revolvers, the only
contents except the newspaper.
The motorist rode to State Road
station, told his story to the police
and left the basket and reyolvers
there. A statewide search was
started at once by the highway
police, but the "man-woman" was
not found.
