SIGNS BILL TO
PERMIT LIQUOR
Loose Law Modifier Approved
By Governor Buck Mon
day Afternoon
QUANTITY UNLIMITED

Governor c. Douglass Buck Mon
day afternoon signed the bill
amending the Loose Law to permit
a person anywhere in this State to
have in their possession all the
liquor and beer they want, provid-
ed it is for personal use and not
for sale. The act became a law
and is effective Immediately. Mon
DAY was the last day on which Gov
ernor could act on the bill and un-
less he vetoed it the amendment
would have become a law automat-
ically under the provisions of the
State Constitution. This bill was
introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator John Roy Cannon, of Seaford
Although it was vigorously opposed
by the dry leaders of the State it
passed both branches of the Gen
eral Assembly with votes to spare
Under the provisions of the Loose
Law possession was limited to one
quart of liquor and one dozen pint
bottles Of beer. It also prohibited
shipment of liquor and beer into
dry territory. 1t permitted the
searching Of private homes on the
suspicion that liquor or beer were
on the premises in greater than
legal quantities. All these provi-
sions are stricken from the Loose
Law by the Cannon amendment
which is now operative. It makes
possible the shipment or carrying
into dry territory Of any amount
of liquor or beer, It also prohibits
the searching Of private homes for
liquor 1t is now lawful for a resi-
dent to have any amount Of liquor
or beer in their possession and they
can cary it themselves into dry
territory in unlimited quantities or
have it shipped into dry territory
without restraint.

FEAR BANGS
COW DISEASE
Spread in Lower Part of State
Causes Bill To Be Put in
Delaware Legislature
HAD PASSED SENATE

The spread of Bangs Cattle Dis
ease in lower Delaware has caused
a bill to be presented in the Legis-
lature providing for blood tests of
cattle. This disease is contracted
by persons who develop a fever
that takes from five to seven years
to get rid of. After several mem
bers showed the merits of the mea-
sure, the Senate Friday afternoon,
by unanimous vote, passed Senator
McCaulley's bill to provide for the
testing of cattle for Bangs Disease.
Senator McCaulley told of the seri-
ousnes of the disease. He declared
that the State Board of AgricuI-
ture can provide for these tests
without additional appropriations
Senator Maull stated he knows Of
no better bill before the Legislature
to take care of public health. He
told of several cases of the disease
in Lewes and how persons had con
tracted it. He said that physicians
claim it takes from five to seven
years to rid oneself of it. The dis
ease causes a fever at intervals.
Senator Latchum, while lauding the
purpose of the bill, remarked that
if no additional appropriation is re-
quired, he had no objection, as it is
APPARENT that too much money has
been allowed the State Board of
Agriculture Senator McCaulley
replied that the matter was taken
up at the request of the farmers.
He stated that the State Board of
Agriculture will conduct these tests
as far as their money will permit.
Senator Wharton also spoke in be-
half of the measure. The bill pro-
vides that the State Board of Ag-
riculture shall take under super
vision such herds of cattle as the
owners request, to conduct blood
tests for Bangs Disease, provided
the owners requesting this service
agree to conform to the rules and
regulations of the board for the
control and eradication of the dis
ease. The bill would authorize the
board to make such rules and regu-
lations and to enforce such quaran-
tines as it shall deem necessary and
advisable for the control and eradi-
cation of the disease.

If Bill Reported FavOrabIy to the
House, Passes Legislature

-
Representative Benefits social
ed "easy divorce" bill was reported
favorably by committee in the
House Monday afternoon. It is
now on the calendar and will be
called up by its sponsor for final
action this week. This bill would
amend existing divorce laws to re-
quire but so days residence in Della
ware before making application.
The present law requires two years
residence. It further amends the
law to make possible an absolute
decree in six months. The present
law provides a decree cannot be
made absolute until the expiration
of one year Mr.. Benefits bill was
amended to provide that tax of
$50 shall be added to the court
costs. This was not in his original
bill. It is intended this tax shall
go into the State treasury. Under
the proposed act, causes for di-
vorce would remain the same in the
Bennett bill as they are in the pres
ent law

NEW CAR DAMAGED BY FIRE
Delaney Long Finds His Parked
Car with Upholstery Eaten by Fire

Delancey Long Finds His Parked
Car with Upholstery Eaten by Fire
The inside of Delancey (Shim)
Longs new Ford Coach was dam
aged considerably by fire sometime
during Sunday morning. Shin had
used his machine Saturday evening
and returning home, left it parked
at the side of the home of his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard E. Long.
Sunday morning arouid ten o'clock,
noticing the windows of the car
being somewhat smoked and melt
ed rubber running down the wind
shield, an investigation was made.
1t was found that one seat was
completely destroyed and the rest
of the upholstering ruined by
smoke as well as the paint being
damaged. The windows being all
up, there was no means of air en-
tering, thus, it smoldered all night
without breaking into flames. The
damage is estimated at $125, is

TRAPPING FOR
MUSKRAT ENDS
Season Closed Friday, March
10, But in Cases of Inland
Marshes, March 20
POOR CATCH REPORTED

The muskrat season which in
past years afforded lucrative occu-
patton for trappers of Woodland
Beach, Leipsic and Taylor's Bridge,
came to close Friday, one of the
poorest seasons ever reported in
this section of Delaware. The sea-
son for the tide water marshes in
all three counties of Delaware and
the Eastern Shore of Maryland on
March 10, but time is extended
trappers of inland marshes to
March 20. Generally speaking the
industry shut down on Friday. All
up and down the Delaware River
and Bay marsh lands, from Della
ware City to Bowers Beach, trap
pers this season experienced a poor
year, they report, as the average
price Of hides was only about so
cents each. The highest price this
year was 20 cents for black and 35
cents for brown. The numerous
high tides also affected the trap
pers, as many rats were driven
from their homes and scattered. In
1880, about 10000 rats were trap
per, but the number this year was
far below that figure, they report.
Another detriment was the theft of
many traps. This development has
resulted in bill being introduced
IN. the Legislature which would re-
quire owners to mark their traps

WARNER PRICE
TALKS ROTARY
Gives a Fine Talk on Fellow
ship" That Merited Ap-
plause of ROtarians
GOOD SAMARITAN, IDEAL

The Smyrna Rotary Club at their
meeting last Thursday evening
heard Warner w. Price, local fertil-
izer manufactured, coal and cement
dealer and a member of the Smyr-
ma Rotary Club, address those pres
ent on Fellowship" Mr.. Prices
address in part was: Fellowship is
explained in the 9Th object Of Ro-
tary which is the advancement of
understanding good will, and in
ternational peace through world
fellowship Of business and profess
siOnal men united in the Rotary
ideal of service. You see this is a
very broad subject, but I am think
ing Of it at this time in a way SO
that it may affect in this club a
mutual improvement Of religious,
literary, and social culture, in other
words, to increase a brotherly in
terest among us and in these times
of stress through which we are
now going, SO instrumental in
bringing about a more unusual
spirit Of helpfulness and to turn
from the selfish spirit such as char
acterized by the parable Of the
Priest and Levite, who passed the
unfortunate traveller by the way
side, but be like the good Samar-
atan who stopped down, picked him
UP, and took him to the hotel and
paid for his meals and lodging. /
congratulate the members of our
club that a bountiful amount Of
fellowship has always prevailed
and it is a pleasure to look upon
the smiling faces gathered around
these tables and to realize that
there are many hands ready and
willing to help if needed. Fellow
ship also means comradeship evi-
denced so generally here, which
alone is enough to make Us justly
proud of our club. May it ever
prevail and may we always act the
part of the good Samaritan. G.

presided in the absence of G. w. w.
