many beautiful residences. Many

churches, and countless restaur-

beautiful big school, and two

three highways, and cars from
every state are going up and down

SELL ICE CREAM BY WEIGHT

Ii Bill Which Passed House, Passes
Senate, and Is Approved by Gov
If a bill introduced BY RsDra-
sentative Virden and which passed
the House one day recently bv j
vote of "a to 8 becomes a law. ica
cream in Delaware will be sold h.,
the pound. The bill provides thar
it shall be unlawful to sell ica
cream weighing less than one and
three-quarter pounds to a quart or
less than seven pounds to a gallon
The bill carries a penalty of a 6ne
from $100 to $500 for violations
Mr.. Virden before the bill was vot-
ed on had letter read on the suh-
ject which however, was not SION
ed and which Mr.. Virden said
when questioned came from the
State Board of Health. The letter
told of how retailers are alleged ia
lose considerable ice cream be-
cause of a shrinkage between the
time they get it and sell it. This
is caused, it is claim, by '1uffs. !"
Mr.. Tatnall remarked that he had
been trying to find out where the
bill originated but had been unable
to learn anything about it. He
said such bill might work a hard
ship on manufacturers as thev
would likely have to change some
of their machinery.

traditional serenity, all this means that
they are not French. They are inordi-
nately proud of their origin. This the
French super patriots find odious, and
hence a certain friction and distrust
between the more extreme elements Of
the two nations.
It is a common belief in Basqueland

Of Eden. Is cot Eden" the Basques

Basque not long ago published q learn

Possessed of such an inflated sense
Of nationality, 1t is little wonder that
the Basques should harp on their
achievements in the history Of thank

checked Charlemagne's victorious career
by cutting of the rear of his army at
Roncesvalles as he was about to cross
the Pyrenees. 1t was Basque fisher

Factors Against Self Determine ton.
If such considerations of national
pride speak for an independent Basque
land, other reasons initiate against a
vigorous campaign to restore the right
of self-determination to this mysterious
race. Smuggling may not be credit

the country Of the Basques it has its

will be one Of the outstanding events
Of the George Washington Bicentennial
observance In recognition of the FIRST

'B0RGIA WOMEN HANG
FOR KILLING HUSBANDS
Two of Notorious Gang Dragged

VIENNA. Austria-Horrible scenes
were witnessed in the town of Szolnok,

were Rose Csordas, So, and Amelia
Szabo, SO, and both had to be dragged
to the gallows unconscious. Nine.
Csordas preserved her fortitude until
very near the end, because she def

mercy to Admiral Horthy, the Hun
earian regent; but just before being
hanged she collapsed. Nine. Ssabo
fought madly with the jailors, but

The two women came from the Vii

Thirty-one women have been arrested
and brought to trial lately, all Of them
charged with numbering their husbands

Sitting athwart the western pyrenees,
the Basques can give Spain the French
products she wants and can give
France the Spanish products she wants
without bothering to give the revenue
agent his share.
Another reason for the quiescent
state Of the autonomy movement Is the
popularity which Basque seaside re
sorts as Biarrttz and Saint-Jeande- Luz
tourist invasion Is an-around prosper
ity, good railway connections, excellent
roads and the promise of an even
brighter future. The sound business
instinct of the Basques discourages too
vehement assertions of their right to
a native culture, and as long as money
is flowing into the land even the most
patriotic Basques are willing to forget
that their children are rsade to learn
French in the government schools.
The French antonomist movement
than 1t has received hitherto. And as
long as France leads Europe and prob
ably the world in q new conception OF
o stabilized prosperity the autonomy
/ movements may not cause any i'm
mediate danger.
However, should the wheel of
economic fortune turn, the Palais
Bourbon in Paris may have an I'M
pleasant awakening. Sober minded
Bretons, Corsicans and Basques can
not help wishing that some concessions
should be made to the minorities,
enabling them to preserve the cultures
Of which they are 30 proud. A FEEDER
ated State Of France Is the dream OF
the Breton antonomists. and they are
more daring than either the Corsicans
or the Basques. This phase OF French
history will bear close watching.
