lemon juice was served with it.
Iceberg lettuce is the most plenti-
full salad green and it is usually to
be found on the market. Sometimes
we get very good romaine. At the
Italian markets and some of the spe-
cial fruit and vegetable markets we
find wide range of green's which
differ from week to week.
Celery and that other vegetable of
the same type which has an anise
flavor and which is often known as
Italian celery are other favorite
products for salad. Sometimes celery
is stuffed with cheese or with a mix
ture of minced crab and lobster, and
used In combination with lettuce for
salad. In this case small cup of
french dressing is served to each per-
son. Stalks of endive are sometimes
used this way.
Grapefruit is also used with the
various salad plants for dinner sal
ad. Occasionally a few skinned and
/
seeded grapes and balls of melons
are used with it. If this salad is
used to serve with the main course
french dressing is always used. If,
however, you are making your salad

comm to Expanse, thinkin' I'll let yeh
have two teams, did yeh?"
mo, I've wasted no time, for I'm

grinned into the purpled face of his
irritable superior. You gave me a
year in which to double my trade,
didn't your?
Yes! And don't mind tellin' yeh
that your successors bin picked"
Jim's wind-burned face stiffened.
For an instant the deep-set gray eyes
grew dark with the anger he fought
to control. ''This," he thought, ''this
is my reward for losing her." Then,
buttressed with the knowledge of his
sure victory, he said mildly, Thanks
for your expression of confidence"
Evidently ashamed of the frank
speaking into which his anger had
led him, Christie compromised with:
"What In thunder d'yeh want of these
dogs?"
Briefly Jim told of his promise to
lakes in early December.
$50 We bin up there this fall, eh?"
"Yes. It's a long story. I'll tell
you later. Do get the dogs, Mr..
Christie?"
"Well. if yeh can't get 'em down for

$50, it's agreed / get two dog

"Yes."
"Thanks. 1 think I'll drop over and

"Ahem!"
The inspector scratched his bearded
chin as he coughed. He seemed en-
barrassed, to the man who waited for
him to speak.
IL wouldn't bother Mary-now.
A-hem" Again he cleared his throat.
''Y'see. she's always thought pretty
well of you-but we've had some
news. She-ye'd better wait and go
over to supper with me-"
what could she have heard?" Jim
wondered. as he followed Christie into
the house. Poor Mary, if she only
knew the TRUTH"
But the desolation in his heart
numbed him to indifference to the atti-
tude of the daughter of Andrew Chris

hand, patiently avoiding his eyes, and,
when she had served the men their
supper, returned to the kitchen.
Doubtless highly colored version of
the rescue of Aurore and his trip with
Omar and Pierre to LeBlond's had
reached Expanse. In his misery, how
ever, he ignored her GOODNESS.
After supper, in the trade-house,
when he told of the ambush on the
Woman river and of the Punishment of
Paradis, the red face of Christie
beamed with satisfaction.
Now we've got something to hold
over Meester LeBlond!" chuckled the
inspector, rubbing his bony hands.
Yes, but / don't think he knew
anything about this ambush"
Maybe not; but I've me own idea
about that. Now yeh learned up on

Behind a cloud of tobacco smoke
the small eyes of Omar twinkled as he
waited eagerly for Jim's reply.

FLEMING'S LANDING BRIDGE

Permit Passage of Tomato BOhfs

The Fleming's Landing bridge,
over the Smyrna river, near Smyr-
ma, will be kept open permanently
TO permit the passage of tomato
boats and other craft, and vehicu-
lar traffic will be banned, accord
ing to an announcement made
Monday by New Castle County
Engineer Alban P. Shaw. Because
of the bridges condition it was
feared that some time the bridge
would balk and it would be impos-
sible to open it any more, thus ty-
ing up the river traffic. Negotia-
tions are now in progress between
Kent and New Castle counties for
construction of a new bridge, each
county to bear half the cost, as
the bridge is on the county line
Closing of the bridge, Mr.. Shaw
said, will not seriously inconven-
fence motorists as there are good
concrete roads on the New Castle
county side. He said that motor

ALFALFA DAIRY
FEED ACREAGE
Farmers, More and More, Are
Increasing Their Crop
Yields in Kent County
SEEDING TIME IS NOW ON

One important part Of the agricul-
tural extension program for Kent
county during the past seven years
has included the advising of farm
ers to grow more alfalfa for the
purpose of growing more home
grown feed for their dairy cattle
and other livestock, with the result
that an average of 1887 acres have
been added to the legume acreage
in this county each year since 1927
when this project was started on
a statewide basis. AS the period
from August Is to August 30 is
the recommended time for seeding
alfalfa in this section of the United
States, those farmers who are
planning to SOW this seed this year
should follow the practice of get
ting it in the ground during the
next two or three weeks, according
to County Agent Russell E Wilson
who has made extensive surveys of
the alfalfa situation in this section.
Alfalfa that is seeded at this time
of the year has better chance to
get started for the winter, and it
will more likely produce a better
stand Of hay the following year
than if it is sown later in the sum-
mer. The usual rate of seeding
alfalfa is 20 pounds to the acre,
although some farmers prefer to
use few extra pounds on land
that is in good state of fertility
This crop will not grow satisfac-
torily on soil that is acid, so it is
very necessary that sufficient
quantity of lime be applied to the
land before the seed is sown and
worked into the top soil as the
sed bed is being prepared. While
the usual amount of lime that is
applied is about 1000 pounds to
the acre, in order to determine the
exact quantity needed to correct
the acidity Of the soil, lime re-
quirement tests should be made.
ASSS lCStS Will OC maui 44EC VI
charge in the laboratory Of the
State Board of Agriculture, and
those farmers who desire these soil
tests should get in touch with
either the State Board of Agricul
ture or the county agent. Unless
either alfalfa or sweet clover has
been grown in the field that is in
tended for alfalfa, the seed should
be inoculated if the best of results
are to be obtained, as this inocu-
lation will not only result in a bet
ter stand, but it will also make it
possible for the alfalfa to add
nitrogen to the soil. The north
western-grown seed is the kind
that has given the most satisfac-
tory results in Delaware. and is
the variety which is being carried
by the seed dealers.

s. HOURS FOR
TRUCK DRIVERS
Decided On At Dover YeSter-
day As a Necessary
Safety Measure
END ACCIDENT HAZARD

Decisive action to end the acci-
dent hazard created by over-work-
ing truck drivers, came yesterday
when a commercial vehicles code
for Delaware was adopted at Do
yer to become effective tomorrow
providing that no one can drive a
truck more than eight hours with
out resting. The penalty for viola
tion of any provision in the code
is summary suspension of licenses
for as long as the authorities see
fit. Power to enforce the code
was found in the provision of the
Motor Vehicles Act which gives to
the commissioner of vehicles the
authority to revoke the license of
any person he finds unfit to drive.
The commissioner is Secretary of
State Charles H. Grantland, who
called the meeting following the
recent deaths of three truck driv-
ers in accidents which allegedly
were caused by drivers being
sleepy. The code provides that no
one may drive a truck more than
eight consecutive hours and may
not resume driving thereafter
without having had at least two
hours rest Also, no one may be
engaged in any service connected
with a commercial vehicle more
than 16 hours in any "a, except in
an emergency. This is to include
persons who ride with drivers to
relieve them When an officer bids
any driver to rest, he must obey or
else have his licenses suspended
Immediately. Moreover, each COM
mercial vehicle must be inspected
by the State Police once every six
months. Those present at yester-
days meeting included w. Dent

Council; Captain c. c. Reynolds,
