HIGHWAY OFFICIALS
ASK CARE In DRIVING
Explain Proper Methods For Hand
ling Car In Icy Weather

The unusual slippery condition OF
the roads last week resulted in a
number of accidents to automobiles
and causes C. C. Reynolds, superin-
tendent of State Police, to set out a
practical set of rules to prevent
skidding which every automobile
driver should remember.
Motorists will prevent fatalities,
injuries, and car damage if they will
step more lightly on the gas when
there is snow or ice on the high
ways.
Keep in gear. Rear wheels are less
likely to skid if they are kept turn
ing by the motor.
Apply brakes gently. Don't apply
the brakes TO the rear wheels hard
er than they can take them, or they
will slip. A little slip is a young
skid.
Don't shift gears unless you must.
Trouble may follow IL you have to
shift gears on hill and the road is
icy.
Put on chains, all around, if it is
icy. A pair of chains cost less than
a damage vehicle.
Pay full attention to the business
of driving. Handle everything in an
easy manner-gas trottle, steering,
brakes-no sudden moves if skids
are to be avoided.
Last week there were number Of
skidding accidents which could have
been prevented by more careful driv-
ing.
Because of the many Inquiries re-
garding the securing of work on the
public highways, w. w. Mack, chief
engineer Of the State Highway De-

State Grange Against Any
Change AS To Sabbath
Selling.
FARM FORECLOSURES

At the closing session of the Del
aware State Grange a resolution
was adopted opposing any change in
the liquor control act relative to
selling liquor on Sundays. Under
the present law sales are prohibited
from midnight Saturday night until
8 o'clock Monday morning and the
grange is opposed to any change in
that law that would permit selling
on Sunday.
The Grange also adopted a reso-
luton favoring the stoppage of all
farm mortgage foreclosures and Civ
ing first consideration to persons
whose farms were threatened with
sale.
]. Frank Rice, of Trophy Grange,
FELTON,, was reelected as a member
of the executive committee of the
State Grange, and Master Robinson
reappointed the following deputies:
New Castle. George X. Ball; Kent
county, NJ. A. Frazier; Sussex coun-
ty, E. w. Palmer.
Two invitations were received for
the meeting next year, one from
Dover and one from Milford. No ac-
ton was taken and the decision will
be left to the executive committee.
The session last Wednesday night
was in the form of an entertainment
with an address by David H. Agans,
overseer of the National Grange and
State Worthy Master of the New
Jersey Grange. Mrs. Robert P. Rob-
inson gave an interesting talk on the

400 CASES LIQUOR
REFUSED In STATE
Dealers Ship Rye Whiskey Back
After Patrons Complain

More than 400 cases of legal liq-
uor brought into this State by i'm
porters have been returned to the
distillers by retailers who claim the
liquor is not up to standard, it was
learned this week.
Two of the five importers in the
State have received complaints
from retailers that the liquor, al
most entirely rye whiskey, has not
met with the approval of their GUS
toners. These complaints were so
pointed that the importers took
back the liquor and returned it to
the distilleries, one of them in Bal
timore and the other in New York.
1t was reported that many of the
purchasers of pints or quarts from
these consignments returned them
to the retailers with the remark:
1--WE can get better bootleg stuff at
cheaper prices"
The importers have. applied to the
Delaware Liquor Commission for a
refund of the tax paid in advance
on these unsatisfactory shipments
but the commission has ruled that
such taxes may not be returned.
This is in conformity, with the Fed
eral laws governing taxes on liq-
uor.
The LiNIor Commission has not
yet started making analyses of the
wines and liquors for sale in the
State although it is planned to make
such analyses in the near future,
probably after the holidays. At that
time investigators of the commits
sion will visit stores throughout the
city, take bottles at random from the
shelves and submit them to tests by
the State chemist.

the State Temporary Emergency Re-

legislative investigating committee
in Wilmington last Friday after
noon.
Mr.. Ackart's opinion was express
sed after Attorney General P. War

in the State work check book for
merly used by Mr. Layton, showing
check number 6613-W, issued Sep
tember 20 to the Treasurer of the

asked Mr.. Green.

piled Mr.. Ackart.
During the hearing, it had been
shown that the practice of issuing

that the temper of the people of

MILFORD LOSES OUT
Need For Employment Up
State Cited By Chief
Executive.

Governor C. Douglass Buck an
nounced on Monday that he had
signed the bill passed at the recent
special session of the General As
sembly authorizing an appropriation
of 1915, 900 for the construction and
equipping of new high school in
the Fourth Senatorial District of
New Castle county. His approval
makes the act a law and paves the
way for the building of the propos-
ed school as soon as the prelimi-
nary details can be completed.
AT the same time Governor Buck
announced he had vetoed the bill to
authorize an appropriation of $780,
600 for the erection and equipment
of a new elementary school in Mil
ford and also vetoed the bill to au-
thorize an appropriation of $4,000
for the construction of a two-room
school house at Blackbird.
The bill providing for the new
high school in the Fourth District
was introduced by Senator C. r. Van
SAINT, who represents that district in
the General Assembly. The bill for
the new school at Milford was in
tIoduced in the House by Represen-
tative John w. Burris and the bill
for the Blackbird school was intro
duced in the House by Representa-
tive Clifford Pryor.
''In giving my approval for Senate
Bill No. 20, appropriating money for
a new high school in the Fourth
Senatorial District in New Castle
county" Governor Buck announced,
''it was with the knowledge that this
measure was the only one passed by
the Legislature after more than 80
days in session, which carried an
appropriation of additional money
for public works project and in a
section of the State where employ
ment is most needed.
"It was not without some misgiv-
ing that approved the bill, because
several years experience in the eX-
ecutive Office has convinced me that
the State Board of Education should
alone be vested with the authority
as to the order in which new schools
are to be built, for unless there is
centralized control of this RESPONSE
bility there cannot and will not be
a satisfactorily coordinated system
of public schools in our State"
In vetoing the Milford and the
Blackbird school bills Governor
Buck made the following announce
ment explaining his reasons: "My

Chronicle offers PH
For Lighting Contest

For the past two issues the Milford Chronicle
has published notices of lighting contest for the
City of Milford. This contest was sponsored by
some of the merchants of Milford, and the notices
were published at the request OF Mr. George Perry,
who was acting as chairman of the committee in
charge of the contest. This week the Chronicle
has been notified by Mr.. Perry that the prizes
promised to the winners of contests for home
lighting would not be available. Just what has
caused the change in the plans OF those merchants
who were sponsoring the lighting contest was not
disclOsed-but the notice of change in plans
comes too late to stop many persons who had prob
ably made plans for lighting and entering the
test
1t has been indirectly brought to the attention
of the management of the Milford Chronicle that
one of the reasons for dropping the contest was
the lack of cooperation on the part of the ChrOn-
icle in the matter of FREE publicity. This state
ment is absolutely false, and this newspaper will
not allow any alibi of this nature to cover up any
failure the part of those sponsoring the affair
The Chronicle has cOOperated to the fullest-and
has done so gladly.
In order that those persons who have prepared
lighting effects for their homes, some of whom
probably have done so because of the prizes which
were to have been awarded, the Milford Chronicle
offers the following prizes
First Prize SlO In cash
Second Prize In casn
IhIrd Prlze. In casn
Fourth Prize +. =. q. 2 in cash
In addition to the above the Chronicle is offer
ing ten prizes of years subscription to the Mil
ford Chronicle. These will be awarded as renew
ais to present subscribers ersas subscriptions
to those who are not now regular subscribers.
Conditions Of Contest
The only conditions for the contest are that the
lights must be turned on each evening, beginning
with Christmas Eve, at six o'clock and for each
evening until New Years Eve they must be burn
ing between the hours of o'clock and 10 o'clock.
The Judges will be appointed by the Chronicle
and their decision will be final.

NO PRIZES FOR
CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
Committee Unable To Carry Ont
Project; Say 1t Is Too Late

The Home Lighting Contest which
was scheduled for the week of De-
cember rs to January l will not be
held. During the past two weeks the
Chronicle has in good faith been
publishing articles in connection
with the contest. 1t has become ap-
parent, however, that the commit
tee in charge has evidently found
their duties too arduous and unable
to cope with the responsibility con-
fronting them and have taken the
course of least resistance, and called
the contest off. 1t is a shame that
the people have been so deluded, for
it was in the best of faith that this
paper gave publicity to the contest.
What a shame it is that the COM
mittee tired so quickly. 1t is hoped,
however, that next year some live
wires will take hold of this pro-
posed contest and carry the project
through to completion.
NOTE-George Perry. chairman of
the committee, informed the Chronicle
this week that the contest had been
called off. The Chronicle in order not
to disappoint those who had gone to the
expense of preparing exhibits for this
contest decided to finance the contest
on its own hook. See news article

DEER KILLED THIS
 YEAR BY BEAR ARE MORE THAN NORMAL

While the deer killed by bear this Spring on the lower south- east shores of Admiralty Island are probably in excess of the nor maj toll usually taken by those animals, the excess is not great and there is no reason to fear that the deer will be decimated, according to H. w. Terhune, Ex- ecutive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, who returned late Monday from a trip to Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg.
 He came back by the way of Eliza Harbor and Pybus Bay and made an investigation of the re- ported slaughter of deer by the bears. He found some instances of killing, he said, but from per- sonal observations and conversa- tions with others, he did not re- gard the situation as serious.
 MT. Terhune made the trip on the patrol boat Seal, Capt. J. c, Sellevold. That vessel went on the ways at Ketchikan for needed re- pairs and overhaul, which were completed last Saturday.
