SHAD FISHERMEN
READY FOR START
Boats and Nets Were Put Out
and in Operation in River
and Bay on Monday
BUSY SEASON EXPECTED

Six boats or more are expected
to put out into the Delaware River
next week from Delaware City for
the opening of the shad fishing
season, which is getting under way
about ten days later than in past
years. The fishermen are now fin
ishing the repairing of their shad
skiffs and the overhauling of their
nets. The boats were launched in
the Delaware City branch channel
Saturday and the fishing started
Monday. Among those who will
use their boats for shad fishing
from Delaware City this year are
Charles Hall, Frank Rhein, Philip
Armstrong, Rufus Yearsley, John
Press and Thomas Neal. This
group is smaller than last year
when about ten boats operated
from Delaware City. One boat,
Vagabond II, owned by Harry
Rose, local merchant, will fish for
sturgeon. William Derrickson and
William Cox will fish from this
skiff. The sturgeon fishing season,
however, will not open for some
time. AS in past years Mr.. Rose
is planning to buy all shad caught
in the Delaware River by local
fishermen. Very few fishermen
from Port Penn are expecting to
fish this year. Herring ae expect
ed to commence running" in the
river about the middle of April.
These fish are salted down by
many residents for eating during
the Winter months. Some consid-
er them to be more tasty" than
mackerel. Years ago when thous-
ands of herring wee caught in the
river and canal lock the fish were
used as fertilizer but in this mod
ern day the farmers can secure
commercial fertilizer at reasonable
prices. The first shad of the
Spring of 1881 was caught year
ago today and two years ago the
first ws caught on April 1.

forts to Hasten Prelimin-

ACTUAL WORK BY MAY

Final details for the actual be-
ginning of construction of the new
Dover Post Office have been COM
pleted, it was learned Thursday
when Senator Daniel o. Hastings
announced the Treasury Depart
ment would advertise for bids be-
ginning April 4, and that bids
would be opened at the department
about May 2. The long delay in
beginning construction of this
building was caused by rejection of
the Department of Justice to
portion of the site, and condemna-
tion proceedings are now pending
in the Federal District Court of
Delaware. Senator Hastings some
weeks ago became impatient at the
delay and succeeded in getting the
department to agree to go ahead
with the details and call for bids
without waiting for completion of
the condemnation proceedings in
order to get the project started
and provide employment to num-
Der of people. 1t is expected that
actual construction of the building
will be started some time in May.

The boundary line between Ger

dividing line between western and

Holland and Belgium, Spain and

western Europe. During the World

were fighting in Belgium and

Tobacco Looked Upon
as Gift From Heaven

With some of the Indian tribes,
the planting of medicine tobacco
was an ancient ceremony, and in
Virginia it was believed to be a gift
from heaven. In the ceremony of
alteration to the sun the medicine
men stood in the center of a circle
about which leaves Of tobacco were
arranged. thus minimizing the in
fiuence Of any evil spirits that might
be hanging around. Powdered to-
bacco was not always used as snuff,
but was flung to the breezes as a
means Of ending droughts and tenn
pests; or tossed into the air as an
offering to some spirit that had to
be placated.
The medicine men used tobacco
as cure, saturating the patients
system with it until he became in
toxicated and did not know whether
he was sick or nOt-and probably
was past caring. Records show that
glorious dreams accompanied this
treatment. such as sitting in at the
councils Of the gods and the like.
The Spaniards noticed that, be
sides the uses mentioned. the Indi-
ans took tobacco in various forms
to overcome fatigue. They tried
the remedy themselves, and found it
so much to their liking that the cul-
tivatiOn and use of tobacco spread
like wildlire throughout the world.

Central Europe Yields
First Records of CeIts

Brittany, or Bretagne, is the pen
insula in the northwest of France,
and embraces about five depart
ments. The Bretons are an Alpine
or Celtic people, and raciaIly have
much in common with the Welsh. So
have the two languages, both be-
longing to the Celtic family.
Celtic-speaking people occupied
a very wide territory of old, spread
ing from central Europe, where the
first records of them exist, far to
the west, southwest and even south
east. They settled in Gaul per-
haps about 1000 B. c., and were
probably at the height of their pow
er about 400 B. G. Later they were
under constant pressure from the
Germanic tribes to the north, and
saw most of their territories con-
quered by the Romans. from the
south. They maintained their indie
pendence in the British isles,
though, for centuries.
The encroachment of other peo-
pies tended finally to merge them
with their neighbors, or to break
them into isolated groups like those
in Brittany and Wales; and even
here the admixture of Irish and
English with the Welsh, and of va
rious French stocks with the Bre-
tons, have widened the difference
between them.
