ceived the official yellow windshield
sticker during the first five weeks

According to this bulletin, more

fact that many motorists were anx-
ious to obtain the official safety
windshield certificate prior to the
closing of the free inspection cam
paign on September l.
Mr.. Denney said that commencing
today, garages have been authorized
mobile inspected, the free period
having expired on Thursday.
The distribution of cars inspected

HEALTH SECRETARY
ISSUES WARNING
Reports There Is Chance Infantile
Paralysis May Occur In Delaware

DR.. A. C. Jost, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health sounds
a second warning as to infantile
paralysis, stating that reports of
the presence of the disease in Phil
adelphia continue to be received,
which must be disquieting to adja-
cent communities. DIR. Jost states,
however, that no cases have yet
been reported in Delaware.
DR.. Jost states that the month of
September will probably mark the
length of the outbreak. Whether or
not the height of the peak of cases
has been passed cannot as yet be
determined. While there are cases in
an area, there is constant danger OF
the transference of infection to out
.yiDg communities.

RARE LOTUS LILIES Z.
NOW IN FULL BLOOM

Lotus lilies at Moore's Gut
in St. Jones River near Do
yer, said to be one of three
known beds in the entire
world, are in full bloom now
with many being picked daily
by persons from widely scat
tered points.
The only other beds of these
lilies ever found are a small
one in Illinois and another in
the Nile Valley in Egypt. A
small bed of lotus lilies some
what resembling those that
have been blooming near Do
yer for years, has been dis
covered in California, but they
are not of the same hue.
The flowers have attracted
wide attention among botan-
lists and gardeners. They grow
in a small swamp area and
efforts to transplant them
have consistently met with
failure. Oddly enough, the
flowers refuse even to grow
in other parts of the same
stream.

SEASON FOR RAIL BIRD
HUNTING is NOW HERE
Sport Is Enjoyed BY SpOrtsmen In
Northern Part OF State

The open 1882 season for rail
birds, doves, plover, English snipe,
etc, began in Delaware Thursday,
September l. Many spo"tsmen
throughout the State were ready to
enjoy the opportunity to indulge in
the form of hunting or shooting they
liked best.
Since the shooting of reed birds
or rice birds was prohibited by Fed
eral law several years ago when
Congress passed the migratory bird
law, rail bird shooting had been
the most favored early fall hunting
in New Castle county.

MD. OYSTER SEASON
PUTS 5000 TO WORK

Approximately 5000 persons
were given employment yester-
day when the Maryland oyster
season opened, according to
records of the State Conserva-
tion Commission, which shows
that last year nearly 5000 men
were at work longing oysters,
while some 1000 men were en-
ployed as oyster packers.
The indications are, it was
said, that oysters will be plen-
tiful this year and of good
quality, and more men will
probably be at work in this in
dustry than were employed
last year. Besides the tong
ers a great number of men are
employed on dredges and
scrapers.
Most of these men, however,
are already at work in the
grabbing industry or using
their boats for fishing or for
carrying produce up and down
the Chesapeake Bay, it was
pointed out.
