LICENSE REFUSED
IF NOT INSPECTED
Secretary Of State Issues
Warming To Owners
To Obey Law

Car owners of the State who have
not had their cars inspected by the
first of the year will be refused reg
istration plates for the year 1881.
This announcement was made at
Dover on wednesday by Secretary
of State Charles H. Grantland in an
effort to speed the inspection of cars.
Mr. Grantland said that no effort
had been spared on the part of the
State to save inconvenience and
needless expense to the car owners
of the State, even to extending the
inspection time two weeks beyond
the time allowed last year.
"The State has been very thorough
in it's selection of inspection stations
to prevent overcharging," said Mr..
Grantland. "As evidence of this care,
we have rescinded the inspection
privilege of one garage for over
charging and poor work.
"After September 1, the inspection
will not be free, and 1 would remind
the car owners of the State that they
should have their cars inspected at
this time if only for the money in
volved, to say nothing of the feeling
of safety that safe car gives to its
driver"
Walter Dent Smith, managing di-
rector of the campaign, said We'd
nesday night that while final figures
are not available as to the number
of cars inspected in the third week
of the campaign, about 5000 cars
have been examined.
"The approximate number of ma
chimes examined so far during the
campaign is about 16,000," said Mr..
Smith. GAS there are about $1,000
registered cars in the State, this
leaves about $4,000 cars to be tested,
or about 1,5OO cars weekly for the
remaining three weeks of the cam
paign."
Mr.. Smith said that final figures
would be available within the next
few days on the inspection work so
far. and that they would show the
need on the part of those who have
not complied with the law to act at
once.

TWO DELAWARE FOLK
GIVEN PROMOTIONS

Two Delaware men are among the
147 in the Foreign Service benefit
ing by promotions made possible as
a result of increased appropriations
for the service by Congress, it was
announced by the State Department.
They are Charles H. Helsler, Mil
ford, promoted from Class VII, rat
ing $4,000 to Class VI, rating S4.5OO;
and George R. Hul1ill, Middletown,
promoted from Class VIII rating So
500 to Glass VII.
The list, it was said, is one of the
longest ever given out by the State
Department, and includes many
whose elevation in rating and salary
has been overdue because of made
quate appropriation in the past.
The promotions announced
amount to an incTeased annual sal
ary outlay of about 100000.

Eleven hundred aged INDECENT men
and women of Delaware are receiv-
ing monthly pension checks despite
the fact that Delaware is not official
ly listed among those progressive
states of the Union that have enact

sions are the generosity of one of
the states leading citizens, Alfred l.
du Pont, multi-millionaire member
of the famous du Pont Powder Com

paying the monthly pensions from
his own pocket to all worthy aged

Mr.. du Pont began sending out the
checks last November, and based

100000 a year, or the interest on

Sees United States
Near Catastrophe
Due ToLack OfRain
Louis J. Taber, Master Of
National Grange, Says
Situation Is Serious
SUGGESTS SPECIAL
FREIGHT RATES
To Facilitate Movement of
Feed To Livestock In
Suffering Area

There is no drought in Delaware.
The people only think there is one" )"
declared Louis ]. Taber, Master of
the National Grange Monday night.
He was the guest of former Cover
nor Robert P. Robinson and was in
Delaware to attend the Grange Lee
turers' Conference at Newark On
Tuesday.
81 have seen fields of corn in Ohio
that were burned up and almost
dead" Mr.. Taber said. 81 have also
seen fields where the growth CT the
stalks was restricted to two feet by
the lack of moisture and fields where
the stalks have no ears
Mr.. Taber has just returned from
a ten day trip through the middle
western area where the effects of
the drought have been the worst.
AS the result of this trip Mr.. Ia
ber said he informed President Hoo
yer on Monday that if rain does not
fall within the next 80 days, the
drought will become major catas-
trOphe.
Speaking of his conference with
President Hoover, Mr.. Taber said. 81
suggested three things to President
Hoover. The first suggestion was to
create morale and to prevent feel
ing of panic among the farmers.
''I suggested that the machinery
of the government be used to find
the sections of the country where
a surplus of hay and grain exists
and to provide for the moving OF
this surplus into the dry areas with
out profiteering on the part of the
owners.
"The third suggestion was this: to
secure favorable freight rates for
the movement of live stock out OF
the dry area and for the movement
of hay and grain into this area and
to extend the credit facilities to
their utmost"
Mr.. Taber said that the govern
ment and the railroads in times past
had in the event of floods and other
calamities, lowered freight rates for
the benefit of the victims, and that
he felt that the drought was of a
like nature.

June Report Of Farm Egg Record
Club Shows FIocks Produced Well

According to the records which
were received from these various
farms, the pullets laid on the aver
age 1913 eggs, and the hens produc-
ed 1876 eggs, while the mixed flocks
of both pullets and hens gave a pro-
duction of 1876 eggs per bird, which
was equal to that of the hens. These
records differ somewhat from those
of June, 1929, when the egg produc-
ton per pullet was 14.S, and that of
the hens was 1876, as compared to
14.2 eggs per bird from the mixed
flocks.

ST. LOUIS, February 22.-Trans-
forming Of food waters from a destruc-
tive force into one Of the greatest fac
tors for economic security of the coun-
try was discussed yesterday before the
National Drainage. Conservation and
Reclamation Congress.
The speaker Leonard Tillotson, MEM
Der of the Texas House Of Representa-
tives and an expert on conservation and
reclamation, told the convention that
the time has arrived when the National
Congress should declare a national
policy toward stream regulation through
water conservation "as one Of the most
constructive services the general gov
eminent may perform in protecting and
advancing the public welfare of the
people"
Tillotson stated that while some
States have provided constitutional au-
thority for stream unit control, increas-
ing interdependence of the people of
different States makes it necessary for
the Federal Government to declare a
national policy.
Stream unit control, Tillotson ex-
planned, contemplates a unified system
ton and regional use of excess waters.
The Mississippi River by reason Of
its extent, interstate character and en-
cheering problems. must, he said, be
recognized as the responsibility of the
National Government in problem Of
conservation. Many other streams. he
added. should be controlled by States
because of their sectional or regional
advantages.

AIR MAIL IS LAUDED
AS AID TO BUSINESS
F. c. Page, Telegraph and TelO.
phone Official, Gives Radio Talk
on Communications.

The history and growth of methods of
communication from the earliest to the
present times was given by Frank c.
Page, vice president of the Interna-
tiona1 Telegraph & Telephone Company,
in Q radio talk last night during the
Chamber of Commerce hour on Sta
ton WMAL.
Installation Of the South American
airmail route, he said will cut down the
time Of conveying mail from New York
to Buenos Aires from three weeks to
about eight days, with resulting good to
business. Instead Of lessening the cable
and general mail business, Mr. Page ex-
pressed the opinion that the airman
route would increase both, In view OF
the stimulation of business and contact
between the Americas.
Another illustration OF the advance Of
communication cited by the speaker was
the opening Of the radio telegraph on
the S. S. Majestic last week, which en-
abled the vessel to keep in constant
business communication with England
during it, voyage across the Atlantic.
Mr.. Page said the deep-sea earthquake
on November 10 last, which interrupted
IL of the 81 Atlantic cables, with de-
lay of as much as two hours, emphasized
the handiceps that delay means to in
ternational business. In some OF these
cases messages had to be relayed the
other way entirely around the world.

 Its the same with jockeys. Trainers do not give, the promising boys enough time to learn the game. Why, when I was young ster feeling the sting of a barrel stave in the hands of Father Bill Daly up at Hartford, we served three years of apprenticeship be- fore getting regular contracts.
 There was keen competition back in the 80's and sos. Jimmy Mo Lcughlin was my greatest rival in those days. There was a great negro jockey in my time named Isaac Murphy. He won a num- Der of the Kentucky Derbies and was up on Salvador when that great horse beat me, on Tenny, in the famous match race at Sheepshead Bay in 1894. That race was for $20,000 a side. We finished nose and nose. I was so confident I had won that I offered to bet Mur- phy $500 on the way back to the scales"
