ENTERED AIR RACE

There's d story about Stribling and his sportsmanship a few years ago, when he had been flying only a short time, but was ambitious enough to enter his plane in an air race at Miami
 The other pilots, when they heard about it, tried to dissuade him from competing, first on his own account, but the prospect of danger didn't phase the young boxer. Then it developed that what the more experienced rac- CTS really were concerned about was the hazards to the rest of the contestants, with a pilot in the race such as Stribling without sufficient knowledge of how to keep out of danger at the turns.
 The angle appealed to Stribling as being convincing enough and he withdrew his entry. He didn't say anything about it himself, at the time. In some quarters it was felt that the Georgian's original entry had merely beens a piece of "ballyhoo," but Stribling didn't even take the trouble to deny that or enter an alibi

LOSS OF DELAWARE

State Board of Agriculture Says
Prevention Is Not Known

A disease, commonly called Blind
Staggers" is causing very severe
losses to the owners of horses in
Delaware at the present time. This
disease, which has now reached epi-
demic form, is not a new disease,
having been known in this state for
at least 80 years, not only as blind
staggers" but also as forage poison
ing" "cerebro spinal meningitis,
"Botulism," "borna disease" and
kansas horse sickness" however,
this is the first time in recent years
that the disease has reached the pro-
portions of an epidemic in Delaware.
The State Board of Agriculture
being aware of the seriousness of
this disease, has had its veterinari-
ans investigate many cases in vari-
GUS localities, and secured a repre-
sentative of the United States Bu-
reau of Animal Industry to make a
survey of the disease in Delaware.
This disease is particularly prev
alent in hot weather, and appears to
subside after cold weather begins.

STATE LOSING AS
CHARTERS DROP
None Issued Saturday For
First Time Under Law
Passed In 1898.
SERIOUS SITUATION

Delaware is losing more than
100000 every month as a result of
the falling off in the charter busi-
ness of the State, which is attributed
to the uncertainty of business men
as to the future and more especial
ly to the new Federal Securities Act.
This was developed when it was
learned not one charter had been is
sued Saturday by the Secretary of
State at Dover. the first time this
has occurred in the history of the
present charter law, which was
passed in 1898.
The balance in the general fund.
to which the charter revenue goes,
on June 80, 1888, was $1,788,O00,
while on September 1st this balance
had dropped to $72S,0O0. This indi-
Gates loss of $350,000 in two
months, and State officials say they
do not see any Indication of the
charter business picking up.
Unless this condition changes. it
was pointed out Delaware is going
to be confronted with serious sit
uation when the General Assembly
meets in regular session in 1885. It
will then be necessary for the Legis-
lature to find new sources of revenue

Approved Throughout The State

The Delaware Survey Commission,
appointed by Governor Buck several
months ago, has been active in meet
ing with representatives Of State
bodies. State departments, institu-
tions, towns and COMMITTEES rela-
tive to their share of the public

proved public works projects total
ling about $16,911,722, this figure
including Federal, State, municipal

the State, municipalities or institu-
tions. There are Federal projects
amounting to $10,831 900 that would
ge financed by the government. The
government will grant outright 80
per cent. of the cost of State and
municipal projects and loan the re-
naming 20 per cent.
In the instance of the state school
building project, estimated at ST.
239,S40, there is $1,000,000 already
on hand as an appropriation from
the State legislature; and $198,726
to be furnished by the communities
where school construction is to take
place.
State projects that have been ap-
proved to date, mostly for State in
stitutions, amount to $2,014,474 and
