PARDON BOARD
MEETS AT DOVER
Several Cases Heard Thurs
day But That of James A.
Lance Was Granted
OTHER CASE CONTINUED

James A. Lance, sentenced in
Wilmington in August, 1880, to
seven years in the New Castle
County Workhouse on a charge of
carrying concealed a deadly weap-
on, was granted a pardon by the
State Board of Pardons at a meet
ing in Dover Thursday. The Rev.
w. A. Vrooman, of Wilmington, of
the Prison Aid Society, represent
ed the APPLICATION 1t was shown
that Lance and two other men,
were caught breaking into an es-
tablishment in Wilmington. The
two others were given three years
each and have been parolled, but
owing to the fact that Lance had
a gun in h is possession when ar
rested, he was given seven years.
His pardon is to become effective
on Friday of this week. The board
refused the application of Clifford
Morris, colorer, serving 20 years
as an accessory to murder, for a
pardon. Morris was sentenced in
Sussex county in 1928 and conse-
quently has served near 10 years.
The case of Elmer Taylor, sent
enced in Wilmington in March
1928, to five years each on two
charges of assault and battery who
applied for pardon was continued
for one month. 1t was shown that
one of the sentences with time off
for good behaviour has already eX-
pired and he is now serving the
second term of five years. Testi-
mony before the board showed that
Taylor has been an ideal prisoner
and is said to have aided the work
house guard during the time of a
jail delivery there several years
ago. He was represented by AL
bert Young, of Wilmington.

the rest of the State has but an
equal number altogether. Employ
ed by the town, Mr. Newhouse dur
ing the summer covered every
breeding place in the entire area,
noting water conditions and exam
ming the contents of the traps.
Towns in the area where traps are
placed are Rehoboth, Bethany
Beach, Millsboro, Georgetown, Mil
ton, Milford and Lewes. 1--WE have
found twenty-six varieties of mo-
squito," said DR. Stearns, but be-
tween 80 and go per cent of all
caught were the salt marsh varie-
ties. The problem in Delaware is
a salt marsh problem" DR.. Stearns
attributed the comparative scarcity
of mosquitoes there this summer to
the drying up of so-called Gordon
Lake, a mud fiat north of town,
and many other salt water reser-
voirs. An easterly storm, he said,
would flood the nearby marshes
and result in developing a new
flock of mosquitoes. Proper drain
age, it was explained, would carry
off the water before they could
breed.

Pennsylvania's State
Police Conduct School

Harrisburg, Pa. - The Pennsyl-
vania state police keep school"
each night on the tri-state police
teletype system.
The pupils are the municipal po-
licemen in the station houses linked
with the teletype transmission sys-
TEN in New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania.
The lessons are instruction in
criminal law and criminal procedure,
compiled from the source of study
given the state policemen in their
training school here.
No examinations are conducted
nor grades given, but results are
reported as satisfactory both to
teachers and pupils.

NEW ROAD TO PRICE, MD.
$4,000 Appropriation to Queen
Anne's County, Used for Highway

aDHc , SOlAhtNg ooSo W AAf'NAy
AS the result of an allotment of
SOC. 900 from the Federal Govern
ment to Queen Annes County, the
appropriation will be used to build
a new highway from Church Hill
toward Price, Nd, beginning at the
point where the Church Hill Price
road intersects the Church Hill n
Roberts highway. The entire fund
is furnished by the Federal Gov
ernment and does not have to be
supplemented by additional money
from either the State or county.
1t was first suggested that this
money be used to complete the Do
minion-C Chester road, the balance to
be applied to the road from Price
to Bridgetown. Owing to the re-
ouirements of the Federal Govern
ment, in connection with the use of
this money, it was found impossible
to use any of it on these two pro-
iects. Bids will be invited at an
early date.

AIRPLANE IN USE

EntymOlOgists Soar Over the

PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN

Several experts We're at Reho-
both last Wednesday conducting
the final survey of the Rehoboth
mosquito-breeding area, conducting
operations on the ground and by
means Of an airplane. An airplane
carrying entymologists and a pho
tographer was roaring back and
forth over the streams and marsh
lands within a 2O-mile radius of
Rehoboth. With the camera, a pic
ture map was being made of mo
squito breeding places. Present to
observe, either from the ground or
aloft, was a group Of entymologists
including DR.. L. A. Stearns, Uni
versity of Delaware, director of the
survey; DR.. r. G. Bishop, of the
Bureau Of Entomology, u. S. De
partment of Agriculture; T. D Null
hern, assistant entymologist and
State ditching engineer Of New
Jersey, and n. p. Newhouse, a New
Jersey entymologist, who has been
employed by the town of Rehoboth
since last spring. The airplane
Photographic survey was being
made at the instance of Col. Will
bur S. Cochran, of Henlopen Acres,
with the approval of the Rehoboth
Mosquito Control Committee. So
far as is known it is the first time
plane has been used to combat
mosquitoes in Delaware. To make
Photographic map covering the
area it was necessary to take many
pictures of small areas from an al
titude of 1000 feet. Upon being
developed these individual pictures
will be fitted together int a mo
sale" map of the whole region. Be
sides directing the taking of the
pictures, the entymologists riding
in the plane were to make notes on
the various kinds of breeding areas
spotted to help in determining the
proper treatment for each kind.
DR.. Bishop, of the Department Of
Agriculture, made flight during
the day to make motion pictures to
be used in his work of touring the
country with antimosquito propa-
ganda. He is there for week.
DR.. Stearns is devoting his vaca-
tion to the local survey before con-
tinuing with it, as he plans,
through September. On October !
DR.. Stearns is to make his formal
report Rehoboth is the only town
so far in Delaware to have under
taken a detailed study Of the nuis-
ance Of mosquitoes with a view to
eliminating it. In this area of
twenty-mile radius there have been
eight mosquito traps in operation
during this breeding season, while

The reason for this difference after
10000 miles can be summed up in
three major facts: First, Chevrolet is
such a wonderfully WeH-buiIt car.
Second, Chevrolet has adequate
weight, unusual ruggedness and
strength to withstand the effects of
long, hard usage. Third, the Chevro-
let engine has SIX CYLINDERS.
And SIX is the fewest number of
cylinders you can have in a car, and
avoid destructive vibration.
Play safe, in choosing that low
priced car of yours. Put your good
money in a sure thing. Buy the
automobile in which the majority of
American motor car buyers have
placed their faith ever since January,
1931-a new Chevrolet Six.

Weather Officials Comment
Whether officials said conditions
today are very similar to those
which were responsible for the 1880
dry period. There is a stagnant
high-pressure area over the South
Atlantic Coast and the Appalach-
ian region. Rain-bringing low
pressure areas, sweeping down
from the Arctic turn eastward but
bump into this stagnant high pres
sure area. AS a result they are
turned north, bringing plentiful
rainfall to New York and New
England but leaving the area
southwark without moisture. AL
though extending generally over
the large area in the states indi-
Gated, weather bureau officials
point out the present drought is

plenty Of local rains while areas
only a few miles away are suffer

Bureau official observed, immedi-
ately around Allentown, Pa, the
crops and pastures are abundantIy

Harrisburg the crops are burning
up. Much of Southern Maryland
and Northern Virginia has been es-
pecially hard hit. Some tobacco
fields are in bad shape and late
crops are almost ruined Apple
orchards are badly in need Of
