SAY HAZEL'S REMARKS
WERE MISINTERPRETED
Houston Did Not Speak OF New Cap
itOl Proposal At Washington

It was 1t. Gov. Henry Hazel who,
at the Dover postof1ce removal
hearing, spoke of the need Of the
State for more housing and evident
ly created the impression in some
minds, even though not so designed,
that a new capitol building was in
contemplation.
Representative Robert G. Houston
did not mention the matter in his
statement to Assistant Secretary
Ferry X. Heath.
No record of the remarks OF the
various speakers was made, so that
it is not possible to ascertain the
exact language used. But there
seems to be no question that 1t.
Gov. Hazel, in seeking to impress
the need for extension of LOCKER
man street to the east across State
street. mentioned that the State
needed additional housing for its ac-
tiyities, and spoke of the desirable
ity of a site in the territory that ex-
tension of the street would open up.
It is pointed out that a new State
building would not at all mean
abandonment of the present capitol
building, but merely the construc-
ton of an additional building to
house the overflow of activities and
employees.

GEORGETOWN MAN
IS 81 YEARS OLD
Arthur ]. Hart Born In Indian River
Hundred In 1S45

Arthur ]. Hart observed his S7th
birthday anniversary at his home III
Georgetown on Monday.
Born in Indian River District, nca"
Angola. on March II, 1845, Mr.. Hai t
spent most of his early life in that
section of Sussex county. In later
years, he sailed the seas. Many years
were spent in following the water.
Mr.. Hart is a we'll known carpenter
here, and for thirteen years he was
engaged in building operations IL
Philadelphia. The lure of his native
county was so strong, however, that
he returned many years ago and set
tied on a farm, a short distance from
the scene of his boyhood days.
On January 27, this year, he OBJ
served his sixty-frst wedding ami
versary, having been married in
Lewes on January 27, 1869, to his
old classmate of the rural school, by
the Rev. Mr.. Killam, who at that
time was pastor of the Lewes Meth
odist Episcopal church.
His wife, Mrs. Eliza A. Hart, who
is enjoying fairly good health, Will
observe her eighty-second birthday
on April 6.
Mr.. Hart is enjoying excellent
health and travels where he pleases.
He gets along without the aid OF
glasses. He attributes his long life
to plain food, plenty of outdoor ex-
ercises and proper rest. In addition,
he believes tobacco has had as much
to do with keeping sickness away as
anything. He has been chewing to-
bacco since he was about ten years
old, and keeps a "cud" in his mouth
most of the time. He uses about
fifteen pounds each year, and has
done so for many years.

tie girls will meet Laurel High for
the title.
The games were played in the
gymnasium at the University OF DelA

lv with spectators from New Castle,

more spirit and roofing during the
games than has been seen in this
gymnasium for years.
In the boys game the first half
ended II to 8 in favor Of New Cas-
tie, but the Dover quintet was out
classed in the final half, making but
three points while the RivertoWn

JERSEY HARD ON
DEL. CAR DRIVERS
Truck Owners Are Forced To
Take Out Licenses 10 That
State.

!. 1t looks a war to the finish on the
part of the motor vehicle authorities
of New Jersey against Delaware mo-
torists. No sooner had Secretary of
State Charles H. Grantland come
from an amicable conference with
Motor Vehicle Commissioner EynOn
at Harrisburg, Pa, than he learned
of the drastic way in which the New
Jersey authorities were treating
Delaware truck drivers.
Secretary Grantland got into COM
munication with Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Dill, at Trenton, to
learn that there would be no reci-
procal relations between the States
of New Jersey and Delaware, which
would permit Delaware truck driV-
ers to drive on New Jersey roads
without a Jersey license.
Commissioner Dill informed Sec
retary Grantland that his term of
office would expire in few months
and that it was cup to the new man
to make any other Interpretation of
the New Jersey motor law"
Delaware truckers who use New
Jersey roads are learning to their
sorrow that they must take out a
New Jersey license.
But the matter doesn't stop there.
The New Jersey motor authorities
have made a ruling that all Delaware
motorists, whether truck drivers or
tourists, passing through the State
. 10 u
insurance. AS not every one takes
this precaution it is likely that the
coming touring season will bring a
lot of unpleasantness for Delaware
motorists, who for any reason fall
afoul of the highway police of New
Jersey.
In instances that have occurred up
to this time in New Jersey where
Delaware motorists have been called
to account because of some techni-
cal traffic violation and the high
way police have learned they car
ried no liability insurance, Della
wareans were told to get out of the
State and not return unless they
carried liability insurance.
Mr.. Grantland said that because
of the refusal of Commissioner Dill
to do anything regarding reciprocal
relations that he was pOwerless to
make any further headway in ad-
justing the trouble until the new
motor vehicle commissioner takes
office.
Concerning the Pennsylvania sit
uation, Mr.. Grantland said he had
effected a "gentlemen's agreement"
between Pennsylvania and Delaware
Pennsylvania truck drivers will be
allowed to operate on Delaware
roads with a Pennsylvania license
without having to take out a license
in this State. The same courtesy
will be accorded Delaware licenses
in Pennsylvania.

Sixty members of Crystal Fount

part in the grand rally, sponsored
by the Delaware Grand Lodge of Odd

The degree team of Crystal Fount

will hold open the privilege of ap-
plication until next Monday even
ing.
Milford boys should make a good
appearance in the parade with their
new turbans of red and white. Every
one who has seen their degree team
work concede that they are in better
shape than ever before, due in a
large part to the untiring efforts of

DELAWARE TO SPEND
$2,6OO,OOO ON ROADS
DURING PRESENT YEAR
This Vast Sum Will Be Divided
Among The State And County
Highways.
MOST PROJECTS ARE new
Highway Work Will Help Un-
employed Situation In State
1t Is Hoped.

The contributions of the State Of
Delaware and the counties to the
program of spending about $250,000,-
900 additional money for the high
way program, as method of re-
lieving the unemployment condition,
will be, according to figures given
by w. w. Mack, State highway en-
gineer, and county officials, about
$2,6OO,OOO. The State alone, Mr..
Mack said has a program which
calls for the expenditure of about
$1,600,000 which includes the Fed
eral aid of about S243,O00 more than
last year, depending on the final ac-
ton of Congress on the bill now
pending.
Charles E. Grubb, county engineer
of New Castle county, said that the
program for expenditure of New
Castle county this year would be
about the same as last He said that
considering the average of expendi-
ture during the past five years, it is
probable that between 100000 and
$1,000,000 will be expended during
the year.
The other two counties, Kent and
Sussex, are expected to expend for
road programs around 100000 each.
This will bring the total up to over
$2,6OO,O0O for the year. The amount
of Federal aid depends on the action
of Congress in the matter. For the
past five years Delaware has been
receiving about $365,000 a year. The
House passed a bill providing for
the appropriation of a sum that
would result in Delaware receiving
about $243,O0O more this year than
last year for this purpose. The bill
was then amended in the Senate and
now it will have to go back for the
approval of the House in the amend
ed form for passage, so the amount
of Federal Aid is not now definitely
known.
Employment For Thousands
At present the highway program
of Delaware calls for an expenditure
of sum very nearly the same as in
previous years, according to the
State and county authorities. This,
however, in practice, means that
Delaware is taking very definite

PLAN FOR HEALTHY
CHICKS CAMPAIGN
Successful Drive Last Year Lends
IncensiVe To Growers This Season

The results of the grow healthy
chicks campaign in the state last
year were so convincing of the i'm
portance of poultrymen practicing
sanitary measures in the care and
management of their baby chicks
that this project will be conducted
again this year under the direction
of H. S. Palmer, Extension Poultry
man of the University of Delaware,
in cooperation with the State Board
of Agriculture, and the county
agents.
The support of all the poultry
raisers is being solicited in order
that some definite results may be OBJ
tanned this fall to add to those of
the past two years to show the value
of such a campaign for promoting
the growing of better and healthier
chicks on every poultry farm in the
state, and those pOultrymen who are
interested in this project have been
requested to keep accurate records
of the mortality among their flocks
during the first twenty-eight days,
which is regarded as the most criti-
cal period for young chicks.
The first step to be taken in
launching this campaign in Kent
county this year was the mailing of
a circular letter from the office of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson to
all the poultry raisers explaining the
method by which this work will be
conducted and the type of data that
should be secured from the different
