OFFER LAND FOR
OCEAN HIGHWAY
Plans for S25O,OOO Road From
RehObOth to Ocean City,
Nd, in Progress
MARIDEL BEACH FIRST

Clear titles to strips of land
north of this Maryland resort will
be given without cost, if present
plans to secure a State appropria-
tion to be used in building six miles
of concrete highway from Maridel
Beach to the Maryland-Delaware
State line, are successful when the
next session of the Maryland Leg
islature convenes at Annapolis
next year. The proposed six-mile
highway section comprises Mary
lands share in the proposed $780,
600 Maryland-Delaware coastal
highway which has been agitated
since 1925. Advocates of the coast
al highway link say $4,000 is all
that is needed. William B. S. Pow
ell, president of the Ocean City
council, who owns considerable
property north of this resort, de-
clared last week that he would give
free to the State, titles through
properties for the proposed high
way link. Other property owners
have expressed the same attitude.
Since 1925, when the coastal high
way plan was first discussed, Mary
land has finished five of the
eleven miles between Ocean City
and the Delaware line. The next
Legislature will be asked to author
ize construction of the remaining
six miles along the Atlantic sea
board The last session of the
Legislature appropriated S50O,OO0
for the construction of an ocean
bay inlet below Ocean City. The
total ocean boulevard project, from
Ocean City, Md, northward to Re
hoboth Beach, Del, is about 40
miles long, most of it, about 20
miles being in Delaware. Della
ware, so far, has already construct
ed a concrete roadway north from
Bethany Beach, Del, for about one
mile in the direction of the Indian
River Inlet and Rehoboth, and a
gravel highway from the end of
the concrete to the Inlet. 1t is
proposed to build a turn or lift
bridge over Indian River Inlet once
the road project is assured. An
other section of highway has been
built from Rehoboth south for a
few miles. During the past Sum
mer the Delaware State highway
department secured titles to land
along the Delaware seaboard, in
the prospect that the Delaware
State Legislature may approve the
construction of the Ocean Boule-
ward at their next session. The
two present highway links in
Maryland, located north of Worces-
ter Street, Ocean City, for a dis
tance of five miles, were built by
the Mayor and Council, of Ocean
City, Md; the Maryland State
Roads Commission and the Maridel
Beach Improvement Company.
Once completed the coastal high
way would provide a new trail
down the Eastern Shore peninsula
for tourists, as well to provide
easy access for local truckers and
seafood Shippers TO markets in Will
mington, and northern cities.

and before he could obey two shots
were fired, one striking Corkran in
the chest and the other in the alb

wounded man ran from the store
screaming for help and was picked
up by a passing automobilist. Mr..
Corkran, who is 81, is a cousin to

UNIVERSITY HOUR AT q. OF ID.
Ruth Page, Dancer, Gives Pleasing
Performance In Mitchell Hall

The University Hour Program
formerly College Hour) at the
University of Delaware, Newark,
opened with a dance recital by
Ruth Page in Mitchell Hall Thurs
day night. Prompted by the re-
ceptior given to the dance number
on the program last year Garcia
Goya shared with Lowell Thomas
the credit of having appeared be-
fore the largest audience Of the
season-the committee this year
deemed it advisable to bring to the
University another artist in the
field of the dance. Although most
prominent artists of the dance are
foreigners, Miss Page, like her ILL
ustrous predecessor, Isadora Dun
can, is an American. Indeed it is
in the portrayal of American life
that Miss Page has made her prin-
cipal contribution to the dance
She composed her famous dance,
''The Flapper and the Quarter
back" She is at present ballet
mistress of the Ravinia Opera
Company, Chicago, and both Gre
ates the ballets and dances princi-
pal parts in them. Her success has
by no means been confined to this
country. She has danced as the
partner of Adolph Bolm in the
Soliseum in London. She has more
recently given thirty performances
as part of the ceremonies attending
the enthronement of the japanese
Emperor Hirohito in Tokyo. In
March, 1880, she sailed for Russia
as guest of the Soviet Govern
ment and presented a series of CON
certs of American Dances" Miss
Pages program includes American,
modern and classical dances.

OF FOX AND QUAIL HUNTERS

the habits of the fox and in relation
to the abundance and longevity of
quail.
Assisted by the Virginia body. the
Biological Survey of the Agriculture
Department collected so stomachs of
foxes killed in the Old Dominion ia
few In other Southeastern States dur
ing the past Winter.
Quail Traces Scarce.
OF these. only one contained guilty
traces Of quail diet. Rabbits were the
leading article, comprising A per cent
OF the food material analyzed. Mice
and native rats sometimes as danger
GUS to very young birds as any other
threat, made up II per cent of the
whole diet.
w. L. McAtee, in charge of the sur
vey's food habits research, says on the
basis of the evidence presented in the
first tests, foxes cannot be condemned
for their food habits in Virginia. The
worst that can be said Is that an occa-
sional marauder may need to be elm
mated"
On the other hand, the report admit
tedly is not complete. The first stage
dealt with foxes killed during the VIM
ter season. Since that time more than
ITO fox stomachs have been sent in
for anavsis, many of them killed during
the nesting season when quail are most
open to attack
The first conclusions covered a period
when quail are in full strength and
difficult to catch. Later reports may
give the fox record.

An ancient and war-like feud be-
tween quail hunters and fox chasers in
Virginia bids fair to approach a peace
able end this soason. with the publica-
ton of a special report on the predatoy
habits of foxes prepared by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
For years whenever Virginia sports
men met to bend the elbow and con-
verse there was hot argument between
the horsemen and those who go af1eld
with guns as to the annual damage
REWARD meted to the quail hunters
bag.
The huntsmen pictured their quarry
as an angelic beast adorned with a halo
as we'll as the coveted brush. while the
gunrers acidly described him as a horn
ed demon won't to feast nightly on in
nocent quail.
Points in Controversy.
Controversy ragged, sometimes barely
short of fatalities. Restrain the fox,
and quail would flourish fat and plenty,
the bird hunters said. Eliminate Rey-
nard and many of his mortal enemies
which feed constantly on quail would
prosper. and the bird consequently dis
appear. the huntsmen answered.
Furthermore, they contended, the fox
seldom eats quail himself.

RED CROSS OPENS
SWIMMING LESSONS
Confidence and Proper Breathing
Are Impressed on Reader
Pupils.

The first swimming lesson for be-
ginners-confidence and proper breath
ing-was described today by Wilbert E.
Iongfellow. assistant director of life
saving, American Red Cross, in state
ment marking the opening OF National
Learn to Swim week"
Introducing his reader-puplls to the
water, Mr.. LongfelloW said that the
fear of the novice vaniSheS when ne
learns the natural laws of swimming.
He cautioned them, however, against
the danger which turks even for experts
when swimming alone, and advised the
pupils to form friendly pairs or circles.
While standing in the water, the be-
einners were told to hold their breath,
put their faces unoer and open their
ewes naturally Look about" Mr..
Longfellow said, land you will be sur
prised how much you can see under
water
With regard to breathing, Mr.. Long
fellow said to inhale entirely through
the mouth, discharging the breath
through the nose. He advised his
pupils to practice this manner of
breathing, which guards against stran-
Cling, and to remember they must time
this breathing with the swimming
strokes, which he would describe in
subsequent lessons.
DO not be disappointed" Mr.. Long
fellow said. that We have not taken up
stroke today. We are acquiring conf
dence, which is SO parts of swimming,
and breathing, which is the remaining
/ per cent. Stroke will come along in a
later lesson"
