Buying Of Pistols
Com m S sioner Mulrooney,
speaking from the practical
viewpoint, and making, by the
way, the most helpful speech Of
the evening, laid special stress
on the vicious American policy
Of permitting anyone with the
money to buy pistols.
As a nation, we have at times
placed an embargo on arms for
Mexico in the interest of order
there, but there is no embargo
against the indiscriminate and
easy sale of pistols, in the in
terest Of, order here.
Once upon a time a great pub
lication ordered an article from
the late Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo. He wrote a powerful
article against the indiscrimi-
nate sale of pistols. It was paid
for, but never published-be-
cause the manufacturers Of
pistols did not want an inter
ference with their profits.

STATE Of DELAWARE ENDS ITS
FISCAL YEAR WITH BALANCE
SUMMARY ISSUED AT STATE
TREASURY SHOWS SI5,O1O,O5S
Heavy Outlays Made For Coming
Fiscal Year That Will Reduce
the Balance Considerably

The State of Delaware finished
its fiscal year on June 80 with a
balance in the State treasury of
S15,010,053. This includes all un-
expended funds of the State. Some
of these funds can be used only for
the specified purposes for which
they were established, and not for
general use This total has been
compiled by State Treasurer Will
liams and State Auditor Baker
from their preliminary summary
of the various funds. They are
now making up their official re
ports, which will set out detailed
figures of all funds making up the
total. The State Treasurer's books
were kept open for the past fiscal
year until July Is in order to take
care of bills contracted the last few
days of the fiscal year. Many
large appropriations authorized by
the recent Legislature are to come
out of the S15,01O,O53 balance dur
ing the coming fiscal year that will
reduce that balance greatly. Ap-
preparations for the school building
program, the new State House
building program, the new State
Welfare Home, State Hospital
buildings, Ferris School buildings,
County Workhouse addition, Uni
versity of Delaware gymnasium,
the Lewes memorial building, ad-
ministration of the old age pension
law and other authorized outlays
are to come out of the State Treas
ury in the next twelve months as
needed. With the falling off in
charter fees because of the bust
ness depression, the State revenues
for the coming fiscal year will be
greatly reduced for the coming
fiscal year, it is expected and viii
leave the feasibility of retiring out
standing State bonds questionable
until the exact status of the treas
ury next year becomes known.

AUTO INSPECTION CAL.PAIGN
Opportunity Afforded to Check
Safety Features of Your Car

The Third Delaware Automobile
Safety Inspection Campaign af-
fords all Delaware motorists an
equal opportunity to check the
safety features of
their automobiles. Despite the
fact that more than one-third the
time allotted for the campaign has
passed only about one-sixth of the
cars in the State have been award
ed the official inspection certifi-
cate. Motorists are urged to avail
themselves of their first opportun-
ity to comply with the inspection
campaign. That the price of
safety is eternal vigilance was true
a thousand years ago and is still
today when we are subjected to so
many more risks. Some motorists
undoubtedly believe that the legal
regulations regarding their auto
mobile safety devices are only for
their personal benefit and have
nothing to do with the safety of
others. This is a glaring example
of the legal regulations for safety
being superseded by selfish desires
which often endanger others. Safe
ty and maintenance of motor We
hicles are closely allied. Mainten-
ance must receive constant atten-
ton if vehicles are to be safe. If
they are not safe the maintenance
end of supervision has not been
properly handled. Brakes should
be tested quite frequently. Keep
ing them in prime condition is es-
sential to safe driving. 1t is ex-
ceedingly dangerous to use the
streets and highways if the brakes
are in any way defective. The
danger is multiplied in crowded
traffic lanes where frequent and
quick halts demand brakes that
are in perfect condition since none
other can bear the strain. Tests
for unequal braking power should
be made quite frequently. Unequal
division of braking power is often
at the bottom of many accidents
caused by skidding. The usual
windshield sticker will be placed
on the windshield in the lower
right-hand corner of all cars which
pass the safety requirements Re-
registrations for 1881 or new reg
istrations for 1882 will be refused
those car owners failing to comply
with the inspection provisions OF
the law. Furthermore, the Motor
Vehicle Department will rescinC
and cancel the registration of any
vehicle determined unsafe or unfit
to be operated or not equipped as
required by law. The free inspec.
ton ends August 81. After thai
date special arrangements for cal
inspections will have to be made

FIND BODY OF DROWNED MAN
Mystery Surrounds Death of n. l..
Wilson, Age 80, of Georgetown

Mystery Surrounds Death of n. L..
Wilson, Age SO, of Georgetown
The drowned body of Norval l..
Wilson, aged 80, prominent George
town man, was found floating in
Indian river at 9 o'clock last We'd
nesday morning. Mystery sur
rounds the manner in which Wilson
met his death. He was seen by
friends at Oak Orchard as late as
10 o'clock Tuesday night. Shortly
after that time he disappeared and
was not seen again alive. His
body was fully clothed when it was
found floating in the river. 1t is
possible that Wilson alone, may
have walked to the end of a pier
and missed his footing in the dark
ness. There was apparently no
reason for Wilson to end his life
and no suggestion of suicide has
been raised. There were no marks
on the body to indicate a struggle.
Wilson was the son of David
Thomas Wilson, of Wilmington. He
was unmarried. He was formerly
a clerk in the Georgetown post
Office, but recently had been agent
in this territory for Frank L. Gates
Wilmington insurance man. He
was active in Masonic circles. The
body was found by a man named
Shockley. 1t is not known wheth-
er Wilson drove to Oak Orchard
alone or with a party of friends.

SENATE REQUESTS STIMSON SUBMIT
 FOREIGN PAPERS

Washington. Dec 17-(UP)-The senate today requested Secretary of State Stimson to submit to 1t all his notes and communications with foreign governments on the sub- ject of Manchuria.
 The Johnson resolution express ing this request was adopted un- amimously after a democrat had arisen to defend Stimson.
 Senator King, dem, Utah, ex- pressed the thought that the reso- lution might not be sufficiently polite. He commended the splen- did work the state department Is doing toward pacification of China and Japan on this difficult situa- tion."
 Kings bolt to the defense of the secretary while the republican side sat silent, drew a reply from dem- ocratlc floor leader, Robinson. He said the foreign relations commit tee had gone into the question whether Stimson would have the right to refuse some information on the ground that 1t might be incompatible with the public in- terest."
 Ile bdlu Int dCtiNON that the phrase which King wanted to insert need not be included. Stlmson had the right anyway, Robinson asserted.
 There may be something in the record of state department activi- ties which might be incompatible with the public interest" said Rob- inson. But I do not care to in- vite the withholding of informa- tion."
 The resolution as written by Senator Hiram Johnson, republi- can, California, calls for all notes. and communication with foreign powers and the League of Nations Manchuria.
 Two similar resolutions in refer ence to foreign debts were intro- duced by Senator Gore, democrat, Oklahoma. Their immediate adop- ton was blocked by objection of Chairman Shoot of the senate fi- nance committee.
