The rain storms of Sunday and
Monday evening amounted to lit
tie in Smyrna but over at Centre
vile and further down the State
more damaging reports are heard
In Seaford lightning played havoc
with telephone, radios and electric
current in several homes. A bolt
entered the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nichols B. Murphy. on the
State highway, tearing off some
weather boarding, plastering, dam
aging windows and putting the
radio and telephone out of COM
mission. A bolt also entered the
home of Raymond Gordy, dairy

aging his telephone and electric
lights. Automobile parties caught

sought places of safety, and no ac
cidents were reported. The rain

LUNCHEON TO MRS. TSCHUDY
First Woman to Represent Smyrna
and Kent County i'm Legislature,
Only Woman of Body, HonOred

Representatives of the twenty
one women's State organizations,
who form the Women's Joint Leg
islative Committee, honored Mrs.
Estelle w. Tschudy, Of Smyrna,
only woman member of the recent
Delaware General Assembly at a
luncheon held Friday afternoon at
the Wilmington New Century Club.
The affair was a delightful one
and an interesting program was
enjoyed. Mrs. James r. Hughes,
of Dover, who served as chairman
of the Legislative Committee pre-
sided over the luncheon, and
brought greeting to the guests.
She presented Mrs. A. d. Warner,
of Wilmington, as the toastmis-
tress for the luncheon Mrs.
Tschudy was the first speaker in
troduced by Mrs. Warner. Mrs.
Tschudy spoke humorously of her
experiences in the Legislature. She
told how it felt to be the only
woman in the Legislature and
showed that while working with
legislative matters woman was
given more different kinds of ex-
periences in State work than she
could have in any other endeavor.
Mrs. Tschudy declared that when
she first went to the Legislature
she had only one outstanding pur-
pose to make good in the Legisla-
ture for the sake of the women of
Delaware. She paid high tribute
to the members of the Women's
Joint Legislative Committee and
declared that she felt the commit
tee was always in sympathy with
her, and that was one Of the things
that made it possible to carry on
in her legislative work. In keeping
with the policy of the legislative
work of the committee, a valuable
message was brought to the COM
mittee by Mrs. Imogene B. Oakley,
of Philadelphia, who is member
of the Philadelphia Century Club

many civic endeavors in that city.

S5OO,0O0 PEACH CROP IS
PREDICTED FOR DELAWARE
w. t. DERRICKSON DECLARES
LITTLE DAMAGE FROM FROST
Apples Plentiful and Prospect En-
cOuraging - Fruit Expected to
Provide Big Profits to Growers

From present indications there
will be good crops of apples and
peaches in this State this season.
This is the opinion of w. T. Der
ickson, director of markets who
has made a study of the situation.
The crop of Williams and Rome
Beauties, for some reason, will be
small. All states report prospects
of good apple crops, Mr.. Derrick
son says, but all are qualifying it
with the statement that the crops
will be good unless the drought
hurt the buds Chances are that
Delaware will have good crops un-
less something occurs in the way
of a pest to kill the apples. Mr..
Derickson feels confident, however,
that unless something absolutely
unforeseen at this time occurs there
is going to be a good crop of
peaches. He estimates that there
will be from $50 to 600 carloads of
peaches shipped. The average car
carries something over 400 bushels
of peaches which would mean 240,-
600 bushels of peaches. IF counted
in baskets, this would mean about
100000 to 100000 baskets, and if
the usual prices prevail would
mean at least half a million dollars
coming into the State from the
peach crop. A peach crop of the
size expected, together with good
apple crop, will mean vast
amount of money for Delaware
growers and this will aid the pros
perity of the State because it will
be necessary to hire pickers, to
purchase carriers and various 9TH
er supplies, all ofw hich will put
money into circulation. Late frost
in Delaware damaged peaches to
some extent but the frost damage
was peculiar and might be called a
freak condition, Mr. Derickson
said. In some orchards, trees in
certain parts of the orchard, were
nipped by the frost and killed,
while trees Immediately beside
them were untouched by the frost.
Alberta and Georgia Belle peaches
were the varieties which appear to
have been the most damaged but
the frost damage was comparative
ly light in all parts of the State
where peaches are grown.

MANY BILLS WAIT APPROVAL
Must Be Acted Upon BY Governor
Buck by Tomorrow, Thursday

Practically S1,0OO,OOO in appro-
priations embodied in several diff
ferent bills are awaiting the action
of Governor G. Douglass Buck. The
time for approving or allowing
these bills to die will expire to-
morrow, Thursday. Some of those
interested in the appropriation
measures are fearful that the Gov
ernor will not sign them. 1t is
known that the Governor has been
in consultation with the State
Treasurer and State Auditor in
reference to the finances of the
State. This is taken as an indi-
cation that the Governor proposes
to find out if the State finances
will stand this additional amount
before he signs the bills. Included
among the appropriation bills
which are waiting action is the bill
to allow the State Hospital at
F'arnhurst an additional appropria-
tion of S380,000. The Governor in
the budget submitted, recommend
ed an appropriation of 100000
for new buildings at the hospital
but the Legislature passed the bill
for 100000 which has already
been approved by the Governor
and then passed an additional ap-
preparation of S380,000. Other
bills which are awaiting final ac-
tion include the bill to allow S210,-
600 for new building for the Wo-
mems College at the University of
Delaware, a supplementary appro-
priation of $4,000 for the trans
portation of school children and
100000 for a new State armory at
Milford. There are also some 9TH
er appropriation bills for smaller
amounts. The bill to create a
Court of Common Pleas for Kent
County is also awaiting action
This bill would provide for judge
with a salary of $4,000 year to
be paid by the State and for other
officers connected with the court
The bill which would allow the
City Council of Wilmington to es-
tablish a teachers retirement fund
is also awaiting the action of the
Governor.

ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP, DOVER
Louis Wallace, American Store
Manager, had Experience Saturday

Manager, had Experience Saturday
Screams of his wife saved Louis
Wallace, manager of a Dover
American Store from being robbed
and probably beaten up about mid
night Saturday night. Mr.. Wallace
lives south of Dover and after clos
ing the store near midnight Satur-
day night drove home in his car.
He had put the auto away and was
leaving the garage when two
masked men suddenly stepped
from behind the building and with
each pointing a revolver at him,
one of them demanded "Stick
them up" Mr.. Wallace was
frightened and instead of putting
his hands up let out a yell. His
wife, who was awaiting him in the
house heard the yell. She raised
a window and started yelling her
self. The highwaymen then be-
come frightened and ran from the
place. The two men probably
thought that Mr.. Wallace had the
days receipts of the store on his
person when as a matter of fact,
the receipts had been put in a bank
and he had little money with him
at the time of the hold-up.
