MILFORD HIGH PASSES
DEFEAT SEAFoRD HIGH
MispilliOn Boys OutgaIned On The
Ground, Go Into Air For Victory

Although Seaford High doubled
Milford High in first downs in the
game played on the Seaford grounds
last Friday, IL to 0, Milford finally
won 9 to 0. Both teams did consid-
cradle passing after failing to make
any decided headway on the ground.
A touchdown resulted for Milford
in the third period after a series. of
passes had worked the ball down to
Seaford's 20 yard line. doc" Watson
then carried the pig skin around the
left end for the tally. Failing to
make the extra point, Milford added
three more points in the final period
on Harter's field goal from the 20
yard line.
1t was a real game from start to
finish, and the local boys showed
for the first time this season that
they could take to the air if neces-
sary to gain victory. doc" Watson
never played better in his life and
gave ample evidence that he can
spear passes as well as throw them.

WITH
LEVY COURTMEN
Welfare Board Discusses
Method OF Billing Var
iOus Counties.

The State Welfare Commission
met at the Welfare Home, near
Smyrna, last Thursday with MEM
bers of the three Levy Courts of the
State to discuss matters relative to
the transfer of the county wards to
the new home.
Among the subjects discussed
were the methods of billing the three
counties for their share of the op-
Grating costs of the Welfare Home,
the burial of the poor, and other
matters were discussed.
In addition to members of the
Welfare Commission those present
were Frank L. Speakman, attorney;
Harry w. Wenninger, Claude N. Les
ter, John H. Wigglesworth, repre-
senting the New Castle county body,
James L. Wolcott, attorney, and
John ]. Hurd, F. P. Parker, and
Jester A. Gray and j. Benton Coun-
selman, representing Kent County
Levy Court and Isaac D. Short, at
torney; w. S. Todd, G. E. Bunting,
o. w. Allen, R. c. Hill, representing
the Sussex county body.
The joint meeting resulted in dis
posing of several matters which had
come I'D because of the change in
caring for the INDECENT of the State,
and it was felt that much real good
had been accomplished. The Com
mission with the visitors from the
three counties, had lunch at the
Home and resumed the discussions
later.
At the meeting of the Welfare
Commission which followed the Su-
perintendent reported 262 beds, all
of which except 9, were occupied
permanently. Five applications for
admission to the Home were pre-
sented and four were acted upon IA
vorably.
At the present time, because of in
adequate facilities at the Welfare
Home, IS or more persons are being
cared for in one wing at the county
hospital at Farnhurst, and the We'll
fare Commission is assuming cost
of maintenance as provided for un-
der the law in cases where outside
relief is necessary. 1t is the pur-
pose of the commission to arrange
to take these inmates into the home
at the earliest possible date. Beds
must be provided, however, before
this move can be made, and the !
superintendent was directed to ask
for prices on this additional equip
ment, with this change in view.
While the home will be crowded |
with the additional beds, the COM
felt that it would be much |
more economical to house those now
at Farnhurst in the home until such
time as additional buildings are pro-
vided

During American Education Week,
November 6 to 12, parents, citizens,
teachers and children will join in a
nationwide tribute to the public
schools.
This week came in response to a
demand that there be each year an
occasion when all the people may
consider anew the ideals, purposes
and achievements of universal edu-
cation. 1t is significant that the OBJ
servance was initiated by citizens in
whom loyalty to country and hope
for its future had been kindled
anew by the sacrifice and suffering
called forth in a crisis which threat
ened the ideals upon which the ma
ton was built.
Immediately following the Great
War, the American Legion formed
an American Commission. One of its
first steps was to confer with the
National Education Association in
regard to stimulating the interest
and participation of the public in
plans for better grew out of series
of conference schools. American

Adopts Resolution Calling
For Resifting Of Pro-
pOsals For State.

Senate Fails To Act When
Measure Reaches That
Body.

Creation of a joint conference
committee by the Senate and House
to decide what projects are to be
included in the formulation of a
public works program for the State
and the ALLEGATION of any funds to
be appropriated by the General As
sembly for the financing of such a
program is provided for in concur
rent resolution adopted by the un-
animous vote of the House Monday
afternoon. 1t is now before the
Senate for the consideration of that
body. When the Senate adjourned
Tuesday afternoon until Thursday
noon, no action had been taken on
the Resolution.
This is the plan favored by the
Democratic members of the Legis-
lature for the creation of a public
works program and financing such a
program. While it varies widely
from the plan of the Republican
members, as embodied in the resolu-
tion adopted by the Senate last week
to borrow $2,500,000 from the funds
of the State Board of Education, it
received the support of all the Re-
publican members of the House on
Monday afternoon. The Senate re-
solution favoring the loan from the
school fund is before the House for
consideration but was not acted
Upon.
The resolution was introduced by
Representative Scott, Democratic
floor leader. 1t would authorize the
Speaker of the House to appoint a
committee of three members and the
President Pro Tenn of the Senate to
three members of that body
to constitute the joint conference
committee. This committee would
hold open session to draft public
works program.
The committee when appointed is
to elect a chairman and a
secretary at their earliest conven-
ience and then to proceed at once
to the consideration of the matters
delegated to them. They would be
to hear the requests of the
several agencies of the State and all
others seeking State funds to finance

RETAIL GASOLINE
DEALERS FINED
Six Merchants Penalized So Far For
Neglecting TO Get Licenses

Following up investigations
throughout the State concerning
those who have neglected to take
out State motor fuel licenses. State
police rounded up five dealers in
Laurel last week and one in Milton
who were selling retail gasoline and
in all cases substantial fines were
imposed.
Several pleaded that they thought
the mercantile licenses covered the
selling of gasoline, but their pleas
were dismissed when it was shown
that this is special act that covers
the sale of gasoline alone and no
matter if the owner operates a coun-
try store with only one pump for
gasoline, he must take out the spe-
cial gasoline license from the State
treasurer.
Officers Holt of the Bridgeville sta
tion and Lynch of the Georgetown
station handled the cases for the
State.

CHAIRMAN OF BOARD
Named To National NRA
Advisory Board With A
Other Industrialists.

Jobs are piling up on Pierre S. du-

Already holding the job of State
Liquor Control Commissioner, du-
Pont on Wednesday was appointed
by Governor Buck to a third four
year term as State Tax Commission

He is chairman of the board and
a member of the finance committee
of E. 1. DUPONT de Nemours & Co.,

Corporation.
In remaining him as head of the
tax collecting agency of the State,
Governor Buck said "the State is
fortunate in obtaining Mr.. duPont's
consent to continue in its service.
As long as Mr.. DUPONT holds that
post the State will be benefited"
The manner in which Mr.. DUPONT
has revamped the State Tax Depart
ment has excited public attention.
The creation of the department in
1921 with the establishment of the
State income tax was looked upon
as affording desirable berths for po-
litical workers.
In 1925, Governor Robert P. Rob-
inson appointed Mr.. DUPONT commits
sioner because of his known execu-
tive ability. Immediately DUPONT
converted the department into a
business institution, and as far as
possible Independent of political

NEW SHIPPING RATE
ON LIVE POULTRY
Reduced Rate On Live Poultry Ship.
ments Now Effective

Mr.. w. II. Huff, Superintendent
of the Railway Express Agency, has
just advised Mr.. w. T. Derrickson,
Director of the Bureau of Markets,
of the State Board of Agriculture,
that effective November l, 1888, a
reduced rate will be made on inter-
state and intra-state shipments of
live poultry, live pigeons and live
squads.
Heretofore, the rate of such ship
ments has been the second class
rate which is 759o of the first class
rate; however, beginning November
1, the rate will be 509o of the first
class rate which means a reduction
in rates of 33 1870. This reduced
rate does not apply to shipments of
live poultry, live pigeons and live
squads whose chief value is for
breeding, exhibition, show or other
special purposes.
The reduced rate is applicable to
shipments moving in or between the
following states: Connecticut, Del
aware, District of Columbia, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey, New York, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.
In addition to the reduced rate
on shipments mentioned above, emp
ty coops weighing less than so lbs,
will be returned at the rate of 10c
per coop which is also a consider
able reduction.
Inasmuch as the heavy poultry
shipping season from this State will
soon be coming on, it is believed
that this reduction in rate will mean
a considerable saving to the poultry
producers and shippers of Della

STATE TRUCKS TO
BE PROTECTED
Grantland Promises Ac-
tiOn In Case Of Tax
Discrimination.

Commenting on the recent confer
ence of the Maryland State Road
Commission, at which the repeal of
Maryland State law for special
taxation of truck operators was dis
cussed and the imposition of truck
tonnage tax, by another act, were
discussed, Secretary of State Charles
II. Grantland said that Delaware
stands ready, through the reciprocity
act passed at the last session of
Legislature to protect the interests
of Delaware motorists in other
states.
"If they impose any unfair taxes
on Delaware trucks operating in
Maryland, we stand ready to impose
similar requirements on Maryland
trucks operating here" Mr.. Grant
land said.
Due to the act of the Delaware
Legislature passed at the last ses-
sion, providing for reciprocity with
surrounding States and acts of repri
sal, should other States pass laws
unfavorable to the motorists of this
State, the repeal of the Maryland
law providing for the payment OF
four cents a gallon for the estimated
amount of gasoline that the trucks.
would use in traversing Maryland is
sought by Maryland authorities. The
repeal of the Maryland act, which
has never been enforced, will be
asked at the session meeting of the
Maryland General Assembly this
fall.
However, according to statement
issued by the Maryland State Roads
Commission, following a meeting
it is estimated that ST.
100000 would be realized by that
State each year by the enforcement
of tax of one-third of cent per
ton-mile for net freight hauled for
hire over Maryland highways. This
would exempt all loads under a ton.

SCHOOL GROUP
VISIT CHICAGO
Miss Vinyard And Miss
Dill Of Houston, Chap
erOned Party Of 20.

One of the most interesting as
we'll as instructive trips ever taken
by a group of school children was a
three day trip to the Century OF
Progress in Chicago. Last weekend
from October % to October 80, two
of the teachers from the Houston
Public School, Miss Dorothy Vim
yard and Miss Avis Dill, chaperoned
many of the pupils on this delight
full journey.
The party was taken in private
cars to Wilmington where they were
transferred to a train leaving for
Philadelphia. There they were Off
cially received by N. NJ. Cooper, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Passen-
ger Department, who escorted them
to private car and accompanied
them on the trip to Chicago. Mr..
Cooper with his very gracious and
genial manner was a most desirable
and entertaining escort who mixed
we'll with the group and extended
every courtesy possible.
Every minute Of the journey was
planned in detail. Many places of in
terest were pointed out and explain
ed to the pupils. Before bedtime,
games were played and stories were
told.
At Union Station in Chicago, the
party was met by A. A. Martz, Penn
sylvania Railroad Superintendent of
Police, who gave them the necessary
instructions enabling them to reach
the fair grounds very easily. To be
welcomed so cordially by Mr.. Martz
and made to feel at home in so large
a city was a rare treat. Before en-
tering the fair grounds the pupils
were permitted to buy post cards TO
send to friends and relatives.
The fact that the party saw so
many interesting places within so
short a time was indeed remarkable.
Among the most instructive and en-
tertaining places observed was the
Adler Planetarium. In this vast
dome was presented a spectacular
drama of the revolution of the earth
around the sun and its relation to
the entire solar system. u.s.,
