pite a regular deluge of rain, making
country roads unsafe, and wind that
blew branches from trees, over $50
workers attended the conference to
elect delegats to the National Nom
mating Convention in Chicago.
The majority present had prob
ably never seen or heard a commu-

they applauded and seemed most
interested was when they we're told
that in event of war the Communist
policy was to turn the guns against
the bosses fight for themselves and
not for Wall Street.
Although Blackwell is town where
Negroes are not allowed to live, there
was no opposition to the resolutions

AUTO ASSOCIATION
WARNS OF LIGHTS
Motorists Urged To Carry Extra
Bulbs SO Trouble May Be AVerted

Headlight requirements of the
Delaware Vehicle Code-of particu-
lar interest at this time are explain
ed by the Delaware Automobile AS
sociation.
To comply with the law, head
lights must, under normal atmos-
pheric conditions and on a leval
road, produce a driving light suffi-
cient to render clearly discernible
all vehicles, persons, or substantial
objects 200 feet ahead, but shall not
project glaring or dazzling light.
1t is pointed out by the Associa-
ton that numerous cars seen on the
highways do not comply with the
provision requiring sufficient illum-
ination. This may be due to bulbs
that have lost their efficiency or to
dull reflectors in the headlamp.
Many other cars offend by project
ing a dazzling light, and still others
are operated with only one head
lamp burning. The "one-eye" car is
a distinct menace to highway safety.
Motorists are cautioned to carry ex-
ira bulbs so that requirements can
be made Immediately upon the fail
ure of a headlight bulb.
While the law requires a driving
light sufficient to show objects 200
feet ahead, it recognizes the advis-
ability of using the tilted beam OF.

CANE IS GIVEN

James C. Wickes Gets
Gift At Annual Press
Meeting

Colonel James c. Wickes, of the
Delaware State News, Dover, who
was unanimously elected president
of the Del-Mar-Va Press Associa-
tiOn ON Saturday, was presented
with a handsome cane, by the men,
bers of the association, in cOmmem-
Grafton of the completion of so
years in the newspaper business in
Delaware. The presentation was one
of the closing acts of the annual
meeting of the association, in the
du Pont Biltmore, in Wilmington
Saturday afternoon.
c. e. Bratton, of ElktOn, retiring
president of the association, intro
duced Colonel Wickes, and the pre-
sentation of the cane was made by
William F. Metten, publisher of the
Wilmington Every Evening, who
was reelected secretary-treasure
a post he has held since the associ
alton was organized nineteen years
ago.
Before adjourning a motion to
send greetings to Governor Ritchie,
of Maryland, an honorary member
of the association, was passed. A
motion was also passed to extend
the unanimous thanks of the associ-
alton to Charles Gibbs, manager of
the hotel.
Colonel Theodore Townsend of the
Milford Chronicle, one of three vet
eran editors present, in an address
Saturday afternoon spoke of the
past depressions which the country
had experienced He said that the
present depression was not nearly
as bad as the depression of 1873.
"There is a lot of difference between
the idle and the unemployed. There
are a lot of idle persons in this
country who do not want to work
very hard. Many of them are per-
manently idle"
Col. Townsend told of hiring
some men to clear off lands of the
Milford schools. He said that the
men worked on Friday and then
came in for their money. When ask
ed if they were not coming back on
Saturday, the men said that they
did not work on Saturday.

the Wilmington Morning News, who
is still with the staff of that paper

He said that he has been in the
newspaper business in Wilmington
for so years, having come there
from Norristown, Pa, so years ago,
for a temporary position. He said
he was to have been there for three
weeks, but had stayed so years. His
first position was with the Delaware

FIVE DEMOCRATS SEEK
CONGRESSIONAL POST
j. Rogers HOlcOmb And His Cousin
Among Number

An unusually keen contest for the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gressman looms at the State conven-
tion of that party, according to re-
liable reports in local Democratic
circles. Thus far there are five we'll
known men, whose hats are virtual
ly certain to be cast into the ring
for their party's nomination for this
office.
J. Rogers Holcomb, his cousin,
Bankson c. Holcomb, mayor of New
Castle; Albert F. Polk, who was
Congressman from Delaware during
the second Wilson administration;
Zack w. Wells, and probably Wright
c. Dizer, recently an Independent,
and Wilbur L. Adams, are all said to
be ready to announce their candi-
dacy shortly.
Because of the fact that this is
generally regarded as one of the best
Democratic years in several quad
renniums, the field in the Demo-
cratic ranks for this coveted nomina-
ton in Delaware is unusually large.

OFFER PRIZE FOR
BEST WEAPON SLOGAN
Anti-WeapOn Association VIII Pay
For Best Slogan Against Weapons

An appeal to the people of the
nation, backed by an offer of $50 in
cash, is being made by the Nation
al AntiWeapon Association which
will pay that sum to the person who
submits the best slogan for the use
of the organization.
The only limitations imposed by
the association are that the slogan
must be expressive of its purposes,
and that brevity will also be given
much consideration by the execu-
tive committee in making its selec-
ton. ANY man, woman or child may
submit as many slogan suggestions
as he or she can think of, but they
must be in the officers of the Ma
tiOnal Anti-Weapon Association in
the Investment Building at Wash
ington, D. c., not later than June l,
1882, when the committee will COM
mence its task of judging the slo.,
gans received.
For guidance of those desiring TO
compete for the $50, the association
explains it's purpose briefly as to
overcome, by education and legisla-
ton, the present too-prevalent ten
dency to "reach for a gun" which is

Formal action taken at the mid

from the thirty-day period ordered
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Biological Survey,
last year, extending from November
16 to December 16, to period COW
ering practically the same number
of shooting days but extended over
three months with restricted shoot
ing days each week.
Because of Del-Mar-Va bay and
ocean shore lines being recognized
as a section of the finest duck and
goose grounds in the United States
and this naturally providing employ
ment for a large number of men as
care-takers, guides and boatmen,
the curtailment of the season last
year cut their employment about 66
per cent and, according to Associa-
ton officials, left many of the finest
stretches of hunting ground, such as
the leading clubs on Chesapeake Bay
and the ocean side without the pro-
lection provided when caretakers are
throughout the season. This
was deemed by the Association as a
decided Iessening of protection for

STATE INCOME BLANKS
MAILED TO RESIDENTS
Assistance In Filling Out Same May
Be Had At County Offices

The State Tax Department has
mailed income tax forms for report
ing 1881 incomes to 10000 residents
and citizens of the State.
In addition to these forms for re-
porting individual incomes, blanks
for employers required to report sal
aries paid of $1,000 or more, and
for partnerships to report the dis
tribution of profits for the year,
were also mailed.
Only such slight changes in the
blanks as were required for the COM
putation of so per cent reduction in
tax authorized by Governor Buck,
were made.
While preparations have been
made for giving assistance to tax
ables in preparing their reports, the
force of the Tax Department has not
been augmented. All citizens or re-
sidents are required by law to file
returns. A joint return of husband
and wife may be filed.
If assistance is required, such
services may be obtained at the
county offices in Georgetown, Dover
or Wilmington.

Following a visit of an inspector
from the Postoffice Department in
Washington, Postmaster William r.
Murphy, announced yesterday that
beginning with tomorrow an impor-
tant change will be inaugurated in
the delivery of mails in Milford on
Saturdays. The change was made
necessary by the lack of funds on
the part of the department and is in
line with like changes which are be-
ing made in postoffices throughout
the nation. Beginning with tomor-
row there will be only one complete
mail delivery each Saturday in Mil
ford. For years past there have
been two. Another curtailment will
be the closing of the Money Order
and Registry windows at noon each
Saturday The stamp window will
be open as usual. Owing to the fact
that the large parcel post shipments
arrived in Milford shortly before
noonfi there will be no charge in the
delivery of parcel post The new
order will mean a savings of con-
siderable sum to the government
each year.
