ten and produced by the undergrad
yates at Princeton University. and the
performance will be given in the Wash

parents Of students being hosts to the
visitors.
I The Duchesse de Richelieu, formerly
Miss Beatrice Wise of Baltimore, cul-

EXPLAIN GAS REFUND
STATE PROCEDURE
Must Keep Accurate records TO Re.
ceiVe Payment.

Under the Gasoline Tax Refund
Laws of the State, all persons who
keep gasoline in bulk on which they
will ask a refund of tax either in
part or in full, shall keep an item
lied account of the dates, the guam
titles and the machines in which
the gasoline is used. AS period of
ninety days is allowed in which to
make the application, the State, as
any other business would be con-
Quoted, asks that the claimant keep
an itemized account of the bill for
tax refund which he expects to col
lect. Under the new law this Item
lied account of how the gasoline is
used must show how much is used
in the tractor, truck, car, stove, or
any other machine ON the premises
using gasoline and this account
must be kept on the place for at least
a year for inspection at any time.
Many farmers who at first opposed
this rule are now heartily in favor
of 1t as it gives them more accu-
rate account of the measure receiv-
ed, the use of the gasoline and some
idea of the cost of operating their
machines.

An outstanding record for rapid

SAFETY COUNCIL SAYS
OBSERVE WARNING
When Danger Seems Most Remote
Is Time For Caution They Warn

Sooner or later the driver who is
careless about observing signals
will have an accident, according to
the Delaware Safety Council. When
two such drivers meet, tragedy is
certain to result.
Don't try to "beat the light. Come
to full stop back of the pedestrian
cross-walk on the red and wait for
the green before you start.
Remember that STOP" means
stop and SLOW" means slow at in
tersections so marked.
Observe without fail the warning
signs ON rural highways.
Be especially careful to observe
every precaution at railroad cross
ings. Warming signs are not always
uniform, but railway crossing
should always mean: "Stop--Look
-Listen-and Live!"
One of the greatest mistakes a
driver can make is to get the idea
that he can safely speed on city
streets in the wee small hours when
streets are apparently deserted.
The same principle holds true
during the day in sparsely travelled
residential districts. You approach
an intersection and if you know
there is little travel on the cross
street you are tempted to go thru
without diminishing your speed. The

The Seventy-third Congress will
convene in five weeks for its first
regular session, with both Demo-
cratic and Republican quarters re-
porting that President Roosevelt
cannot expect the same bipartisan
support he received on emergency
legislation last Spring.
Republicans are shaping their
campaign to recapture the House
and as many Senate seats as possible
in the 1884 elections. Some Demo-
Gratis are voicing privately dissatis-
faction with the results of the re-
covery legislation, as well as with
patronage matters.
With the primary election cam
paigns opening early in the Spring,
a number of Democrats who broke
campaign promises on the economy
and other bills to support the ad-
ministration say they are going to
strike out for themselves.

Winter C. Bennett, produce mer-

What happened to him on October

A notice in the legal advertise

that Bennett, upon petition of his

had been indebted to the missing
man are requested to make pay

In her petition filed recently with

NO AID FOR JOBLESS
Says People Must Have
What They Want When
They Want 1t.
NO AID FOR JOBLESS

To rid the country of liquor law
evasion, Pierre S. dupont said on
Monday, there must be a decided
move to show people they can have
what they want, when they want it
and where they want it."
1.-THE people of the United States" "
DUPONT declared, "have been re-
stricted by unpopular laws for so
long that they must now be given
some freedom or they will go back
to evading the new laws as they did
the old"
The views of DUPONT, chairman of
the board of the E. |. DUPONT de
Nemours Company, and liquor COM
missioner of Delaware, were given
at a hearing of the alcoholic bever-
age law committee of the Federal
Bar Association in New York City.
The committee proposes to draft
legislative measures to present to
Congress.
Mr.. DUPONT, who aided in the cam
paign for repeal as chairman of the
executive committee of the associa-
tiOu dSdihSL the pIOuiDitlOu dlhSuu-
ment, said he favored drinking at
bars and was opposed to Sunday and
midnight closing regulations for
places where liquor is served.
II have never been able to find
anyone who could tell me why SELL
ing over a bar is a bad thing.
can't see any harm in it. Liberality
is certainly the best move and the
fewer restrictions upon the man who
wants drink the better"
This, DUPONT said, is the real road
to temperance.
Granted the freedom of purchase,
dupont said he was willing to make
this prediction--thati in a year or so
haze seltiEa down. we viii
drink only about half as much as
we did in 1914 and real temperance
will have become effective"

WITHIN THE LA w

Governor Albert C. Ritchie has
suggested that circuit judges re-
place States Attorney John B. Rob
ins, of Somerset county, unless he
has arrested the nine men whom
eye-witnesses have sworn had a part
in the lynching at Princess Anne,
Md, last month.
"If Mr.. Robins does persist Tin re-
fusing to have the men arrested)
then the judges will, feel sure, con-
slider the appointment of some one
in Mr.. Robins place to act as States
attorney in the prosecution and trial
of these charges, and perform the
duties which Mr.. Robins will not
perform" stated the governor.
The evidence against the nine was
collected by Attorney General Will
liam Preston Lane, Jr,, largely from
policemen who were beaten back by
the mob which stormed the Somerset
jail and lynched George Armwood,
Negro charged with attacking an
aged white woman.
Lane forwarded the evidence to
Robins and asked that the nine be
arrested Immediately and brought
before a magistrate to decide wheth-
er or not they should be held for
the grand jury. Robins refused to
make the arrests, saying that he be-
lieved a mob would take the men
