STORE IN STAFFORD
YIELDS $4,000 LOOT
Wholesale Tobacco House of
Lord Brothers and Higgins
Was Thieves Objective
DETECTED IN THE ACT

About 20 cases of cigarettes
valued at $4,000 were stolen from
the wholesale tobacco store Of Lord
Brothers and Higgins at Seaford
early Wednesday. The robbers en-
tered the store by breaking the
glass in the front door and swing
their way through a second door
In order to avoid carrying the cas-
es out the front door they sawed
through bars protecting a window,
on an alley. Mrs. William Waller
who lives nearby was awakened at
about 1.3O o'clock by a noise and
looking out her window saw an
automobile up the side street ad-
Joining the wholesale tobacco store
Suspecting that the store was be-
ing robbed she awakened her hus-
band and while he went across the
street to arouse a friend, Ira Hill.
she went to the home of Mr.. H.g-
gins, a member of the tobacco firm.
a short distance away. When she
returned she saw the car drive out
of the alley In the meantime Mr..
Waller and Mr.. Hill had gotten the
latter's automobile. They also
saw the car leave the side street
and drive towards the Maryland
line, They followed for a short
distance but the other car had too
much speed for them and they soon
lost sight of it. It is supposed
that this car that was chased was
occupied by part of the gang Of
robbers who had watched the place
while the others of the gang loaded
the cases of cigarettes into truck
This is the second robbery within
a short time. Several days ago the
store Of Ira Wright was broken
into and robbed.

TWO INFANTILE
PARALYSIS CASES
Robert Long, Is Months Old,
Treated at Wilmington
General Hospital
OTHER CASE IMPROVING

The condition of 18-month-old
Robert Long, diagnosed last week
as suffering from infantile paralys-
is, making Wilmington's second
case of the dreaded disease, was
reported about the same" at the
Doris Memorial Unit of the Will
mington General Hospital The
baby had ben a patient with his
mother, at the New Castle County
Hospital and was found to be suf-
fering from infantile paralysis, af-
ter awaking in great pain early in
the morning. Mrs. Robert McFar-
lin, matron of that hospital, whose
own son, Robert, was i'll with the
disease IL years ago, discovered
symptoms of infantile paralysis.
Diagnosis later by Drs. P A. NJ.
Rovitti and William Fennimore,
confirmed the case as one of in
fantile paralysis. Serum was OBJ
tanned and injected, and the baby
taken to the Wilmington General
Hospital. DR.. Fred F. Armstrong,
executive secretary of the Board of
Health, said that a thorough in
vestigation stamped the case of the
baby as sporadic" by which DR..
Armstrong said he meant that it
could not be traced to infection at
another point where the disease is
prevalent. Two of those places
nearby are Philadelphia and Allan
tic City. Local physicians are dis

BUILD MONUMENT
FOR TEXAS HERO
State HOnOrs General E. III.
Tarrant, Famed Veteran
of War of 1912
FOUGHT WITH JACKSON

Fort Worth, Texas.-A monument
to Gen Z. II. Tarrant, famed vet
eran Of the War of 1872 and the
Texas war of independence, was
recently unveiled here.
To Tarrant is accredited the sub
DUNG of the Indians in this region.
For this achievement, this county
was named for him.
A marble shaft. eight feet high,
replaces the tiny bronze military
markers which formerly marked
the burial site of the former SOL
dier. Texas Ranger. lawyer, and
public officer. 1t was erected by
the Daughters of 1912.
On one side of the shaft is in
scrfbed General Tarrant's outstand-
ing accomplishments, on the other
this epitaph, This marks his rest
ing place, Tarrant county is his
monument"
Little is known of his early life
although he was front rank figure
in early Texas history. Some au-
thorities maintain he was born in
North Carolina, others claim Ten
nessee and still others say it was
Alabama.
While still a youth, about nine
teen, he distinguished himself in
two battles against marauding In
dians with southern army under
Gen. Andrew Jackson.
Well qualified for frontier life
and a natural pioneer, he came to
Texas in 1885. Leaving the army in
1886, after independence was won,
he Joined the Texas rangers. He
became commander of the north
west Texas region, redundant with
hostile Indians and vicious out
laws.
In 1888, General Tarrant was
elected representative to the con-
gress of the Texas republic. AL
though a recognized lawyer, he
quickly resigned to return to COM
mand of the Rangers.
AS he grew older and less ac-
tive physically, he traded the sad
die for a legislative chair and
served several terms in the Texas
legislature after Texas was admit
ted to the Union.
General Tarrant died in 1853 at
old Fort Belknap.

NEW LAW AFFECTS TRUCKS
Pennsylvania Auto Laws to Work
Hardship ON Delaware Truckers

Drastic changes in the automo-
bile laws of Pennsylvania, affect
ing Delaware and Eastern Shore
truckers, were reported Wednes-
day by the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment of Pennsylvania to the Della
ware State Automobile license de-
partment. The law as amended by
Pennsylvania will work a hardship
on many truckers in that the Penn
sylvania law will not allow a truck
from another State to carry more
of load than is allowed by the
Pennsylvania law. Also that not
more than 80 loads can be carried
in the State on the license of an
other State in a year. Over that
number the owner of the vehicle
will be required to take out a Penn
sylvania license.

With appropriate exercises in the
presence of over 500 people from
various sections of Cecil county

new S25O,000 Bohemia river bridge
on the main highway down the
Eastern Shore was held Wednes-
day afternoon as announced last
week in the Smyrna Times. The
exercises sponsored by the newly
formed Lions Club of Chesapeake
City, began at 2 with State Sena-
tor Wallace Williams, master of
ceremonies. At the same time

bridge in memory of Augustine
Herman, in whose memory the
bridge will be known and who was
one of the early settlers in that
section of Cecil county and was the
first lord of Bohemia. After the
invocation by the Rev. Otis Jeffer-
son, of Chesapeake City, Md. E.
E. Church, there was singing of
America led by H. E. Mcbride,
president of the club. The first
speaker was William R. Stevens,
of Wilmington, District Governor
of Lions International, who said
he was very much pleased with the
new Chesapeake City club, in spon-
soring such program. Chief En-
gineer, Harry Williar, of the Mary
land State Road Commission, pre-
sented' the bridge to the people
stating the credit should be given
to the local Representatives of the
Maryland Legislature in obtaining
the appropriation in which the
bridge was built. Secretary of
State David @. Winebrenner, stated
he was pleased to have the honor

COMEDY TO HOLD
FORTH IN FILMS
OVER WEEKEND

High PRESSURE starring William
Powell in a role entirely different
from any others he has attempted,
will be shown tonight only at Fox
Imperial theatre.
Powell, usually the suave and
sophisticated man about town, is
seen in a high pressure salesman.
role abounding in comedy and
proves he is Just as good in this
line as in the types that have
brought him screen fame.
The supporting cast includes
Evelyn Brent, Evelyn Knapp and
George Sidney.
More comedy is offered for Sum
day when SKY Devils" a flying
film, will be the attraction. Spen-
Ger Tracy and William Boyd have
the leading roles.
Although a war picture, Sky
Devils" deals with the funny side
of aviation in the World war and
is not concerned with the tragedies
as other wartime aviation pictures
have been.
The war flyers were known as a
rollicking crowd when off duty.
The tension under which they op-
Grated while on duty demanded a
safety valve when leave was
granted them, and they made the
most of it. Sky Devils" portrays
this side of their lives and supplies
the audience with plenty of laughs
in doing it.
