PARTIES PLANNED
TOPAY FOR PAVING
Friendship Heights Citizens
Want to Wipe Out
Debt Quickly.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS, Md, Sep
TENDER 28-Ways and means of liqui-
dating the debt incurred for the paving
of Friendship Heights streets were dis
cussed before the Friendship Heights
Citizens Association at the home OF
James c. Dulin, jr., president OF the
organization.
Plan Gard Parties.
The discussion grew out of the re-
port of the Permanent Citizens Com
mittee of the community, under whose
Jurisdiction expenditures for improve
ments, enforcement Of ordinances and
similar projects are carried out. This
committee is composed of Emory Bog
lev. chairman: Mrs. S. j. Ross, Hutzel
Metzger, S. A. Shoemaker, j. A. r.
Farnham and Aubrey @. Richmond.
The Friendship residents are planning
to raise money from card parties ana
similar local events in order that they
may be able to cancel the debt as rap
idly as possible.
The street paving project. which was
begun in July, is now nearly completed
all streets having been completely re-
constructed and repaved, Mr.. Bogley re-
ported.
The community finds itself up against
the problem of curbing speeders-prin-
cipally drivers of delivery trucKs-Wno
according to the citizens, endanger the
lives of children living in the town
and damage the new paving. 1t was
decided at last nights meeting to bring
this matter to the attention OF the
Montgomery County Commissioners and
to request that 20-mile speed limit
signs be installed in Friendship Heights
in an effort to break up speeding
practices.

SEIZE rs CASES OF
DELAWARE PEAS

Seizure of rs cases of canned
peas, the product of Delaware can
ner, shipped to Lebanon, Pa, con-
stitutes the first violation of the Nc
Nary-Mapes amendment to the Pure
Food and Drug Acts, and for which
the Department of Agriculture has
instituted legal proceedings. 1t was
announced on Tuesday.
The violation charged against the
Delaware Gamer whose identity was
withheld was that the cans contain
ed an excessive quantity of hard
peas and were thus sub-standard
under the pure food law 1t was ex-
planned, however that the peas were
not unwholesome, but that the ship
per violated the law because he did
not label them with the sub-stand-
ard designation, Below U. S. stand
ard. Low quality but not Illegal"
which the regulations require upon
all labels of all sub-standard can
ned foods, excepting meat and meat
products and canned milk.

TRADER CAUGHT
AT HARRINGTON
Escaped Convict Captured
By State Police After
Three Days A Fugitive

Three days after he had escaped
from the New Castle County Work
house, Pierce Trader, who left the
institution Monday evening of last
week, was caught by Sergeant Knox,
of the State Police, at Harrington,
Friday morning. He was returned
to the institution Friday afternoon.
Warden Leach was notified by Ser
gent Knox of the capture and i'm
mediately detailed officers from the
WOrkhOuse to go to Harrington and
bring the fugitive back.
Trader was sentenced in the Kent
County Court of General Sessions
on July Is, to serve two years in
the Workhouse on the charge of lar
ceny. He was permitted by Warden
Leach to go to the woods on De Cas-
tie Farm last Monday to pick black
berries and when the roll call was
made at dinner time he was missed.
Guards at the Workhouse Immediate
ly instituted a search for the miss
ing man, and notified the State Po-
lice.
Just what would be done to Trad
er for his misconduct in leaving the
institution has not been determined
by Warden Leach. It is probable a
charge will be preferred in the New
Castle County Court of General Ses-
sions against him and sentenced i'm
posed by the court.

Well Known Business
Man Expects To Open
Plant In Early Fall
BIG OPPORTUNITY

G. Prettyman Carey, local auto
mobile dealer and business man, an
nounced this week that he will open
a modern laundry in Milford in the
early autumn. Milford has been
without the services of steam
laundry for a number of years; the
old laundry having been purchased
by Mr.. Carey to be converted into
an automobile sales room. Trucks
from several nearby towns have
been making regular stops in Mil
ford to collect laundry each week.
It is with the idea of giving Milford
citizens a first class laundry serv-
ice, and at the same time providing
employment for a number of Mil
ford men and women that the new
plant will be opened by Mr.. Carey.
The present plans call for the open
ing of the laundry within go days.
The new plant will be equipped on
strictly modern lines, with the very
best labor saving machinery turning
out perfectly washed and ironed

BROWNS IN TEXAS
Howard A. Joseph, Son
Of Charles R. Joseph,
Is Accident Victim

News was received at Georgetown
Monday that Howard A. Joseph, 20
years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles R. Joseph, living on the
Georgetown-Laurel highway, just
outside Georgetown, had been drow-
ned at Houston, Texas. No details
as to the drowning have been re-
ceived. Whether he was on boat
and got caught in storm and the
craft was wrecked or was in bath
ing is no known.
The young man was a graduate of
the Georgetown High School and al
so of Geldey College, Wilmington,
class of '21.
He was employed by the Standard
Oil Company as an accountant, and
for some time was located in Balti-
more. Later he was transferred to
Germany where he remained for
several months. For more than a
year he was in South America, re-
turning to Georgetown about five
months ago. Since that time he has
been located in Houston.
Mrs. Joseph left Monday after
noon for Houston to bring the body
home, if it has been recovered. So
far no word has been received if the
body was found. Besides his parents,
the young man is survived by lit
tie son, Charles Howard, aged three
and half years, who has lived with
his grandparents since the death of
his mother.

Board OF Progress Made

NEED OTHER UNITS

In a report to the Board of Trus-
tees of the University of Delaware,
DR.. Walter Hullihen. president, re-
views the comprehensive plan that
is being carried out in the develop
ment of the institution. 1t is eX-
planned in the report that as the
membership of the board generally
changes considerably in the course
of five or six years it is well to re-
view what has been done along this
line and what should be the next
steps in its cOnsummatiOn.
DR.. Hullihen tells what has been
done since the new campus was Sc
cured some years ago in the matter
of the physical development of the
comprehensive plan. The plan as
mapped out some years ago is now
about twO-thirds completed, some of
the new buildings having been con-
structed with money appropriated
by the Legislature and number
with funds given by individuals. He
shows what the estimated cost is
for each building and what the act
ual cost was of those that have been
completed. These new buildings to
date have cost nearly $2,000,O00.

SERIES OF THEFTS
TROUBLES DOVER
Police Seek Thieves Who
Stole Safe And Machine
To Break 1t Open

Dover's city police, as well as the
State Highway Police, are having
their hands full to ferret out the
series of robberies which have TAX
en- place since late Saturday night
up to and including Monday morn
ing, when six or seven rObberies
were reported in Dover and West
Dover.
With the entering of the store of
Albert Mag on LOockerman street
early Sunday morning, entrance
being gained through a trap door on
the top of the roof, the thief or
thieves lowering themselves to the
second story by a large tow rope,
it was an easy matter. to enter the
first floor by way of stairway
where they carried away several re-
volvers, watches and a quantity of
cigars and tobacco as well as some
change in the cash drawer, which
they broke open.
The bulk of the rObberies report
ed to the police were committed
early Monday morning, when the
OON6I Opeld E1OuS6 was SuJ0lSu
through a window from fire es-
cape. The office on the second floor
was entered and the safe tampered
with but nothing was missed. A
screw driver was left behind The
thief or thieves escaped by the back
door at the stage entrance.
The barber shop of Robert John
son, next door to the Mag cigar
store, was entered and SO in money
taken from the cash drawer.
Possibly the boldest piece of rob-
berry was that of bringing a safe to
Dover in truck and breaking into
