Smyrna is under the banner of
the Blue Eagle. The ~ r. A. En-
blem is displayed in practically
every store and business place
Factories are running under their
40-hour codes. Shorter hours are
enabling them to spread employ

noticeable increase in this respect
as would be found in cities and
larger industrial centers. But
Smyrna is lining up to do its part
There will be a public meeting of
the merchants Of Smyrna and vi

Thursday evening, at 7.30, to talk
over the ". r. A. Code. Cornelius

will endeavor to answer and ex-
plain any question merchants put
up to him. Merchants who are de-
sirous of having questions cleared
up for them are requested to at

100000 DAMAGE
TO STATE ROADS
Task of Repairing Storms
Havoc Will Take at Least
Two Months
BIG LOSS TO COUNTIES

The cost of repairing the dam
age to the roads of the State
wrought by the recent storm will
amount to more than 100000, ac-
cording to estimates made yester-
day by w. w. Mack, chief engineer
of the State Highway Department,
after an inspection of the tempor-
ary repairs made to the roads in
all parts of the State This repair
work will give employment to SO
and probably more additional lab
orers for a period of at least two
months, Mr.. Mack said. Most of
the work will be confined to Sussex
county where seven culverts or
small bridges were washed away,
together with portions of the roads
and approaches. There are also
nine other places in the same coun-
ty where portions of the road were
either washed away or undermin-
ed. Two roads in Kent county will
also require extensive repair work,
Mr.. Mack said. All of the roads
have ben temporarily repaired so
that they were open for traffic
yesterday morning with the excep-
tion of the Basin Road to Newport
in New Castle County which is not
expected to be opened until next
Saturday when the dixie repair
work will probably be finished.
Employees of the State Highway
Department have been working
night and day since the storm ef-
fecting these repairs, and Mr. Mack
said he was highly gratified with
the speed with which the different
roads had been opened. Starting
Immediately the State Highway
Department workers will begin re-
placing these temporary repairs
with permanent ones. While most
of the work is expected to be done
by the department some of the
work where the cost will exceed
$500 will have to be let out to con-
tractors, he said. The estimated
cost of 100000 is for State road
work only, Mr.. Mack said, and the
expense of repairing county roads
is expected to increase that
amount considerably. Nearly 40
culverts on county roads in Sussex
county were washed away by the
storm and will have to be replaced
according to the Sussex county en-
gineer.

The Roosevelt unity plan of eco

advantage of the patriotism of

MAY ASK TAX EXEMPTION
Farmers Along Delaware Bay, Who
Lost Heavily by Storm to Appeal

Farmers in the area along the
Delaware Bay shore whose lands
were flooded during the storm by
salt water from the bay and their
crops ruined to say nothing Of
their muskrat trapping marshes,
are starting a movement to try
and get some redress for their loss.
1t is said that an effort will be
made to get tax exemptions for
this year but this may be hard
proposition as it would require an
act of the Legislature. 1t is point
ed out that it will be impossible
for these farmers VINO are residing
en- their own farms to pay any
taxes this year as their entire
years work has been lost by the
salt water running the crops.
Farms along the bay shore have
been covered before by salt sea
water but these high tides have in
variably occurred in the early
Spring, and at a time when but
little land was in cultivation. A
high tide in the middle of crop sea-
son has before been unknown.

DAIRYMEN TO
MAKE PROTEST
Number of Smyrna Dairymen
to Attend Hearing in
Philadelphia Friday
TO DISCUSS MILK CODE

A number Of Smyrna-C Clayton
dairymen-farmers contemplate go
ing to Philadelphia Friday to par
ticipate in the milk code hearing.
The meeting begins at ten o'clock
in the morning. The Farm Ad-
ministrators at Washington, D. O.,
have ordered public hearing at
Philadelphia to reconsider provi-
sions of the Philadelphia milk
marketing agreement. This hear
ing will take place Friday. The
agreement affects Delaware pro
ducers. The purpose of the hear
ing, the agricultural adjustment
administration said in a statement
will be to hear arguments of all
concerned and gather evidence
looking toward possible modifica-
tion of the agreement and license. I"
The agreement, which went into
effect last Friday, fixing minimum
prices to producers, distributors
and consumers has been vigorously
criticised by both farmers and con
sumers with one group of farmers
having instituted legal action in
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court challenging its legality. A
hearing on this action is also
scheduled for Friday. AT the Phil
adelphia hearing Thomas M.Wood-
ward, a member of the legal staff
of the administration, will preside.
DR.. Clyde L. King, chief of the
dairy section of the administration
and DR.. Fred Q. Howe, consumers
counsel, will attend. The new mar
keting price, effective Friday, call
ed for an increase of one cent per
bottle. The new price schedule for
milk delivered at the door and
across the store counter is: Grade
a, fourteen cents quart, and
nine cents a pint; Grade B, eleven
cents a quart and seven cents a
pint. Though protests have been
heard in Pennsylvania and an in
junction proceedings against the
milk marketing agreement filed in
the District Of Columbia, produc-
ers of tbs state are understood to
be in accord with the pact. Some
Pennsylvania producers protest
that the increase is unwarranted;
that the distributors should reduce
the price of milk to consumers and
increase the producers price for
raw product. The marketing
agreement, which was drawn up

ducers Association ard members
of the Philadelphia milk shed, CON

MANY MOTOR TO

Thousands of Autos Take

LAUREL HARDEST HIT

The roads leading to southern
Delaware were thronged by thous-
ands of automobiles Sunday as
many persons took advantage of
the weekend to hasten down-state
to see how relatives and friends
Jared in the storm and flood of
last week. Many Of the motorists
had received no word from rela-
tives since the storm. Others made
the trip to see the devastation
wrought. North of Salisbury, Md.
traffic was so heavy that line of
automobiles moving very slowly
extended for nearly three miles
from the city limits. Similar con-
ditions, although not quite so con-
gested, were noted north of Laurel
and entering other Sussex county
towns Traffic bound for points
south of Bridgeville was diverted
to the Milford Road at Dover and
more cars were said to have passed
over this road Sunday than usually
pass over it in several Sundays.
Between Milford and Georgetown
the road was under more than a
foot Of water for nearly half
mile as the road goes through Ell
lendale Swamp. All of the roads
in New Castle county are now
open although motorists are warn
ed that if they use the Delaware
City-Port Penn or the Basin Road
to Newport they did so at their
own risk. Direct relief for those
left in distress in Laurel by the
storm is being supplied by the
State and through the State High

Former Congressman l.. i. Handy

Mrs. Mary Bell Handy, aged rs,
widow Of Former Congressman L.
Irving Handy of Smyrna, died at
Rehoboth last Thursday night af-
ter a lingering illness. Mrs. Handy
had not been well since the auto

pastor of the Presbyterian Church
of Smyrna and the injury of Mrs.
Bone, Miss Agnes Arnold and her
self. Mrs. Handy, besides sustain
ing a broken arm, suffered internal
injuries which she never got over,
and which resulted in her death.
The sad intelligence that she had
passed away at Rehoboth where

the daughter of the late William
NJ. and Emily (Hoffecker) Bell,
was born and raised in Smyrna

tivated the best things in life and
was always interested in educa-
tion, good books and good friends.
On January 25, 1887, she married

previous had come to Smyrna as
