Senate Must Concur In
Resolution; Sir Would
Be On Board.
Members To ReceiUe Pay
Only If Inquiry COntin-
ues After Adjournment.

With but one vote against it, the
House Tuesday afternoon adopted
Representative Rees' Joint resolu-
tion authorizing the presiding off,
Ger in each branch of the General
Assembly to appoint committee OF
three to form a joint committee to
investigate the Temporary Emer-
gency Relief Commission to deter
mine how the 100000 placed at
the disposal of that commission by
the special session of the Legisla-
ture last November was distributed
for the relief of the needy of the
State.
Representative Burris was the
only member to vote against the res
olution and he explained his action
by stating that he thought past ex-
periences with Investigations by the
House showed how useless the
whole thing would be. He said there
are accountants available who could
furnish the State with more infor-
nation than any investigating COM
mittee of the Legislature could pro-
6uee and in addition there are State
officials better fitted to make the
probe than any committee from the
General Assembly"
81 think II is a useless resolution
and an unnecessary expense to the
State" Mr.. Burris stated.
The resolution as adopted was a
substitute for the one originally pre-
sented. The first would have pro-
vided that the members of the in
vestigating committee be paid s5 a
day for every day of six hours they
sat to hear testimony in the probe.
This was found to be unconstita-
tional, as the members cannot vote
themselves any pay except the SAL
airy stipulated in the constitution.
which is $40 a day while they are ia
session.
The new resolution provides that
the committee members shall re-
ceive no pay while the present spe-
cial session of the Legislature is in
progress, but after it has adjourned
the members shall be entitled to re-
ceive $5 a day for every day they are
in session, together with reasonable

SAFETY COUNCIL URGES
CARE ON HIGHWAYS
Says Motorists May Assist In Reduc.
ing Automobile Accidents

Danger as well as annoyance is in
store when it becomes necessary to
stop for a puncture, blowout, or
engine trouble on the highway at
night, according to the Delaware
Safety Council. If such a stop be-
comes necessary, drive off the pave
ment or road if the surface permits.
1t is up to you to prevent a rear
end collision with approaching We
hicles, even if this demands person
ally signalling all approaching cars.
1t is a matter of life or death to
other drivers who may not under
stand that your car is standing still.
Keep your lights on, both front
and rear, and as you work with your
car to repair the damage be sure to
avoid obstructing head or tail lights.
If it is necessary to leave the car
ON the roadside, be sure it is ade-
quately lighted. This precaution will
help you to protect your own prop
erty and to save other motorists
lives.
Weaving in and out of traffic is
dangerous practice, not only to the
driver doing it but also to other
drivers on the highway.

representative of the Chronicle. AS
we all so we'll know, the Christmas
Seal idea was born in Delaware, and
in the ingenious hands of Miss Bis
sell twenty-seven years ago did much
to bring comfort and health to those
in this community who were suffer-
ing with tuberculosis. Miss Bissell
is president of the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society.
This year." said Miss Bissell,
marks the twenty-seventh appear
ance of the tuberculosis Christmas
Seal in Delaware, and for % years
it has stood out in an aggressive
fight against the devastating ravages
of tuberculosis. Its achievements
are so well known to all that / need
not here relate them. 1t is the
Christmas Seal itself which is so in
teresting, l think. ..f
"Mr. Hinton, our executive secre-
tary, who has been dealing with and
studying Christmas Seals for 13
years, has studied out and as
sembled many historic facts. The
development of each seal and its de-
sign is very interesting. The pic
torial part of the seal occupies less
than a square inch, yet each seal is
perfect in its artistic beauty and
the story reproduced by the artist.
To accomplish this the ingenuity and
skill of many noted American artists
have been drawn upon to produce
these striking effects in miniature.
Foremost, perhaps, among the
names of these artists stands that
of Howard Pyle of Wilmington, an
illustrator Of generation ago,
whose technique and historical
scholarship made him easily the
acknowledged leader of his time in
colonial scenes, as well as
those of medieval days. Mr.. Pyle
designed the 1908 Christmas Seal.

not so we'll known, is John w. Evans

STATE TO BEGIN HIGHWAY
WORK PLANS IN 3 COUNTIES
Highway Department To Start At Once To Select
Eighteen Relief Projects; Chief Engineer Mack
Says Hand Labor Will Be Used Almost Entirely.

The State Highway Department
will begin at once to plan the IS
work-relief projects, six for each
county, which, according to word re-
ceived from Washington, will be f.
nanced in the proportion of 65 per
cent relief funds and 35 per cent
Federal aid funds to the states. This
was the announcement made this
week by w. w. Mack, chief engineer
of the State Highway Department.
1t is understood, Mr.. Mack said,
that the Government is cooperating
in this work with the stipulation
that such road work be done as
nearly as possible by hand, so that
the benefits may accrue to labor,
providing employment for men out
of work. AS little as possible will be
spent on tools and materials, he
said. The State is to use relief funds
in this made-work program.

WHISKEY SALES
PROHIBITED
STATE TAVERNS
Purchases Lawful In HO-
tells And Places Where
Food Is Served.
LABEL ON BOTTLES

Taverns, defined by the State
Liquor Control Act, as a place
where only beer is sold, will not be
permitted to sell liquor when pro-
hibition is repealed.
Only such places where food is
served regularly and hotels will be
permitted TO have liquors and high
alcoholic wines for public sale for
consumption ON the premises. How
ever, a purchaser of whiskey will
not be required to purchase food to
buy whiskey.
Cabarets, a number of which are
now operating as taverns, will be re-
quired to either install restaurant
service or to incorporate themselves
into a club for which special licen-
ses are issued. By restaurant service
it is stressed that breakfast, lunch
con and dinner must be served and
that the mere sale of sandwiches or
special dishes will not constitute a
restaurant.
A restaurant is defined as an es-
tablishment provided with special
space and accommodation when in
consideration of payment, food with
out lodging, is habitually furnished
TO travellers.
The Commission has ruled that
special space" shall be interpreted
as meaning one or more dining
rooms, having a combined capacity
at one time for at least "a persons.
Before restaurants can store liq-
uors for sale, they must have an ap-
proved storage place for the liquor.
Another ruling is that restaurants
shall have been advertised as res
taurants and are known in the
neighborhood as such.
Persons in this State may not pur-
chase cases of liquor from firms in
Philadelphia or New York who ad-
vertise "for delivery to any State in
the Union" All liquor purchased for
consumption in Delaware must be
bought from a Delaware merchant
holding an importers license if
bought by the case or the purchaser
will be liable to fine. To have the
right to purchase direct from a
wholesale firm in New York or any
other State an importers license
costing $4,000 must be taken out.

Liquor Commission have been crow
ded for the past several days by per-
sons seeking information about the

BY P.S. DUPONT
Would Pref er Sunday
Sale To Survival Of
Speakeasy.
REASONABLE PRICES
FavOrs Type Of Control
That Will Foster Great
er Respect For Statutes.

The hope that the grip of alcohol
is being weakened in this country,
but a frank declaration that 13
years of absolute prohibition" fail
ed to release the grip of it on the
American people, was expressed by
Pierre S. DUPONT, Delaware State
Liquor Commissioner, speaking on
subject, Delaware Faces Repeal" at
the concluding sessions of the Ma
tional Conference on Government in
Atlantic City Saturday night.
OF all those who stated their
views on liquor control at the meet
ing, Mr.. DUPONT alone urged private
sale.
Among the suggestions made by
Delaware's liquor commissioner
were that the legalizing of Sunday
sales was preferable to the continu-
ance of the speakeasy; less rigid
ban ON the use of bars; and that the
price of alcoholic beverages and the
taxes on them be kept low. Mr.. du-
Pont, a pioneer leader in the repeal
movement, also said that he felt pri-
vate enterprise and competition
should be allowed to govern the liq-
uor business as much as possible.
Limitations should be imposed on
alcoholic liquor advertising, he de-
clared.
Urges Liberal Liquor Laws
First, all operations concerning
the manufacture, sale, transporta-
tion and use of alcoholic liquors
must be brought into legal and hon
orable channels as quickly as pos
sible, in order to restore respect for
law and respect for national NOR
ale that has suffered much under
prohibition" Mr.. DUPONT said.
Second, the places and time for
sale of alcoholic beverages must
conform to popular demand, even
though we may deplore the existence
of this demand asd may be tempted
to turn to prohibitory law and force
full methods for its regulation or
suppression.
Third, the supply of beverages
containing alcohol must be made as
pure and wholesome as possible not
only by force of law and by inspec-

BIDDING FOR
HIGHWAY PROJECTS
Procedure For Receiving And Open
ing Bids Is Interesting And Exciting

The procedure for receiving and
opening bids on contracts of the
State Highway Department is both
interesting and exciting as por-
trayed recently when the difference
of two dollars was all that stood be-
tween the bids of two large con-
tracts involving many thousands Of
dollars. Generally the amounts are
more divergent but every once in a
while two or three contractors will
offer bids separated by only few
dollars. Under the rules of the de-
partment, all bids must be made in
sealed envelopes On the outside of
which must appear the number of
the contract on which the bid is be-
ing offered. These bids are all de-
posted in a locked box in the de-
partment and are not opened until
the time set for the letting of the
contracts. At that time the box is
unlocked in the presence of the
highway commissioners, contractors
and interested onlookers, and the
envelopes are then publicly opened
and read. 4
On Tuesday bids on four contracts
were let and resulted as follows:

From 1890 to 1892, DR.. Clarence
True Wilson was in Seaford as a

St. Johns Church, Seaford, and also
at Bladesville. Many residents of
Seaford still recall the great revival
held there during Wilson's minis

the church.
During his second year, Wilson
was transferred by the bishops to
the New York East Conference. He
served there till his health compel
led him to move to Southern Cali

turned for three year pastorate at

Delaware will get an estimated
100000 as an immediate outright
Federal grant for starting an entire
ly new works program to put at
least 5000 men to work at a $15-a-
week minimum wage by early De-
cember, it developed on Tuesday in
a Washington conference attended
by Governor Buck, Mayor Speer of
Wilmington, Gerrish Gassaway,
NRA administrator for Delaware,
and other State and city officials.
Furthermore, the program is to be
conducted strictly on a non-political
basis by specific injunction of Pres
ident Roosevelt made at separate
conference in the White House at
tended by the Governor, the Mayor
and Mr.. Gassaway.
The estimate of $SO0,00 was made
upon the return of the Delaware
delegation Tuesday night. That the
program will give jobs to at least
5000 workers in Delaware was the
official statement of Harry L. Hop
kins, administrator of the newly
formed Civil Works Administration.
Delaware's civil works program,
which will include a wide variety of
projects of all sizes for which appli-
cation has not already been made to
the Public Works Administration,
was prepared and ready for submis-
sion to Federal authorities Thurs
day night.
The program will be placed en-
tirely in the hands of the State Tenn
porary Emergency Relief Commits
sion which will be made the State
Civil Works Administration. AS
chairman of the Relief Commission,
Jasper E. Crane will thus be admin
istrator of the civil works program
in Delaware.
None of the projects will have to
be referred to Washington. They can
be started promptly by the Relief
Commission and they will be such
that no elaborate advance prepara-
tions by specialists will be neces-
sary.
Projects which are expected to be
carried out under the new civil
works program apparently are in
Wilmington. They include: Park
improvements, a sewage system for
South Wilmington, extension of city
water mains INTO the area north of
Wilmington, draining marshes, con-
struction of the proposed Ninth
