bathing suit, was sitting on the
edge of the pool, a couple OF
young men similarly attired on
either side of her.
Upon my soul! Look who's
here!" called out Betty.
Barry got up at once. There
was startled expression on his
face at sight of Judith.
Loranda made no move. She
tapped the ash from the end of
her cigarette into a tray, catch
ing her underlip with her small
teeth, her eyes narrowing.
She had contrived to drop
several hints in Barry's ear
about Judith's interest in Jack
Ordway.
So cleverly had this been
done that it really had seemed
as though Loranda were con-
cerned over a foolish little sis
ter's welfare.

WATCH YOUR STEP!

The Delaware Safety Councils
statistics indicate that one of the
most constant hazards of the human
race is the careless use of its own
feet. Falls are responsible for a
large percentage of our cOuntry's
accidents.
There are three kinds of falls: /.
Falls from high place to the level.
2. Falls from the level to a place be-
low level. 3. Falls when walking
or standing on the level. Ladders
are the worst and trickiest of all.
More falls from ladders and substi-
tutes for ladders are recorded than
from any other high spot. People
continue to use patched, broken and
make-shift affairs.
Persons slip, stumble or fall
where one would think no hazard
existed. They trip over objects of
all kinds. They stumble on uneven
flooring or over small objects and
often fall against sharp objects or
into moving machinery with serious
consequences.
The danger of. objects striking
workmen constitutes one of the
greatest hazards in present day EN-
ployment. Many accidents occur to
the hands and feet of workmcn hand
ling heavy materials. Too little
care is taken in the construction of
piles of various kinds. Men work
ingabOut sand, coal or gravel piles
should exercise care and knock down
ant, Ovorho n poinp Ipdpps AccidpntS
caused by objects falling from racks,
conveyors and benches and
tipping over can be prevented by
more care on the part of those hand
ling objects.

SENATE AGAIN HOLDS
UP BEER BILL FOR
CITY OF WILMINGTON
Indications Early Thursday Morn
ing Pointed TO Favorable Action
On The Bill When IL Was Called
Up.

Emergency legislation to legalize
! the sale of beer in Wilmington un-
/ til such time as permanent bill
can be passed to control the manu-
/ facture and sale of liquor, beer and
wine in this State, was rushed
through the House under suspen-
sion of rules Wednesday afternoon
but when the proposed act reached
the Senate it was confronted with
opposition that resulted in action OH
it being deferred until Thursday
morning at II o'clock. Objections
were based on the fact that it would
not make beer available in those
districts outside of Wilmington the
same as it would do in that city.
The act was drawn by Chief Dep
uty Attorney General Percy Warren
Green and Stewart Lynch, attorney
for the House. It was introduced in
the House after Representative
Schroeder had recalled from the
Senate his bill. passed on Monday,
to legalize the sale of beer through
out the State. This bill also had
heen held up in the Senate. 1t was
explained to the House members by
Mr.. Lynch and passed by vote of
23 to 12. When it reached the Senate
it was given three readings under a
suspension of rules but before the
vote could be called Senator Glenn
moved that action be suspended un-
til Thursday.
The measure specifies that it shall
be lawful to sell 80 per cent beer
within any local option district
wherein a majority of the voters
have not voted against license. 1t
would authorize the State School
Tax Commissioner, who is Pierre S.
20 issue licenses for the
sale and distribution
of beer. Breweries would have to
pay a fee of $500 and in addition 8
cents for each gallon manufactured
and sold. They could distribute their
own product by the barrel or bottle
without taking out an additional Ii
cense. They could not sell less than
two dozen bottles to be consumed off
he premises.
Indications early Thursday morn
ng pointed to favorable action on
he bill when it was called up.

ROOSEVELT URGES
DELAWARE ADOPT
FAIR WAGE LAW
Asks Thirteen Industrial States Fix
Limit For Minimum Pay.

President Roosevelt on Wednes
day placed his influence behind
steps to better labor's lot, going be-
yOnd the confines of his Office to
recommend specific action by the
States.
He sent kilograms to thirteen
Governors of industrial States COM
mending to their attention New
York States pending minimum
wage law. He expressed hope that
similar legislation would be passed
by other eommonwealths.
The White House explained the
thirteen singled out were chosen
because of the big factory employ
ment in their jurisdiction.
They were: New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Connecticut, Rhode Island.
New Hampshire, Maryland, Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Delaware,
North Carolina and Alabama.
The New York measure referred
to by Mr.. Roosevelt is an anti
"sweatshop" law, which pronounces
it against public policy for any en-
ployer to pay women or minors less
than fair and reasonable pay, or less
than sufficient to meet the ultimate
cost of living necessary for health"
"This," said the Presidents tele-
gram, represents a great forward
step against lowering of wages
which constitutes a serious form of
unfair competition against other
