The Movie Queen" Contest is go

with a bang. Nearly every indepen-

tries who are anxious to see what
chance they have for the movies.
Many have refrained from entering
under the impression that this is
beauty contest.
1t is not a beauty contest in any
sense only as facial expression and
contour of form makes an adeptabll-
ity for moving sound picture work.
Those who enter the contest will
not be subject to any kind of meas
urements, they will not even be re-
quested to make a public appear
ance at the local theatre, here.
All those who enter at the Plaza
Theatre at Milford will be given
special private moving picture trial
which is not a part of the movie
tests that will be given the winner
later at Rehoboth.
The local winner will be present
ed with three costumes, absolutely

given a two day vacation at Reho-

School For Instruction
To Be Conducted At
Dover Next Week.
rs FIFTH INSPECTION
All Cars Operating Under
Delaware Licenses Must
Be Inspected.

A school of instruction, for those
selected by the State Highway Com-
mission, Secretary of States office
and Delaware Safety Council with
others that may be supplemented by
the State Temporary Emergency
Relief Commission, to carry on the
fifth annual inspection of motor
cars and trucks in Delaware start
ing July Is, was held in the State
Highway Commissions garage at
Dover Wednesday and Thursday.
The work of the school was un-
der the direction of E. H. Voght, an
expert from the manufacturers Of
the safety lane equipment, which
will be used in making the tests OF
cars and trucks throughout the
State. There will be many places
where motors may be inspected.
From July Is until August 81, all
cars now operating under Delaware
licenses, must be inspected. After
August 81 of this year, all cars and
trucks that have not been inspect
ed, will have to be withdrawn from
service, it is stated, and the owners
held responsible for operating car
or truck without official sanction.
The safety lane equipment em-
braces all of the most modern
means of testing those parts of the
car used in operating it, and which
play an important role in driving
safely. These consist of many i'm
provements over the former method
of testing cars and trucks.
The testing of motors embraces
seven steps-registration, lights,
horn, rear view mirror and wind

cessive play, wheel alignments,
brake equalization, presentation Of

In the inspection of lights, not
only the focus of the headlights but
the manner in which lights are

headlights that produce binding
glare will be gone into rigidly, be-
cause recent experiments show that
most of the accidents, nationally
come after darkness. The state OF

with a stretch of highway which Is

In accordance with a statute pass

When the board of the prisoners
sent from Sussex county to the New

creased from 60 cents per day to
81, the Sussex County Levy Court
Commissioners thought it was much
cheaper to erect a new prison and
take care of all cOnvicts, with the
possible exception of life termers.

made in reply to a published report
that he and Mr.. Tunnel and Mrs.

master General Farley that Harry
T. Graham, of Wilmington. former
State chairman, be appointed post
master of Wilmington.

desire to have the absolute say not

COP. PREPARING
FOR MAJOR DRIVE
Campaign Aimed At Re-
gaining Some OF Lost
Republican Power.
ISSUES ARE DRAWN

Chieftains of the Republican par
ty are preparing quietly for a major
drive aimed at regaining in 1884
some of the lost G. o. p. power in
Congress, and leaders in the mid
western states turned toward Chi
cago for another of series of con-
ferences over the approaching Con-
gressional campaign.
This gathering, held in Chicago
Tuesday under the leadership Of Ev-
erett Sanders, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, found
party spokesmen from Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa reporting on
the political situation in their states
and the prospects for success a year
hence.
Regional meetings have been held
previously in Washington, New
York and Boston. marking the only
outward show of Republican activi-
ty in the political dogdays." Be
hind the scenes, however. there
have been many other quiet discus
sions of party plans.
Issues for the 1884 Congressional
campaign and the 1886 Presidential
election now are being drawn, based,
in large part upon the Roosevelt
emergency legislation. Predictions
have come from some of the leaders
that the Republicans will make
sizeable gains in seats in the House
Of PanrasantatiVes
Observers look for considerable
activity to come into the
open next January when Congress
meets, with the party then Offering
more opposition to Democratic pro
posals.
Little is being said, meanwhile,
about the Republican candidate for
President in 1886. When the subject
is mentioned the names of Herbert
Hoover, Ogden L. Mills, Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania, Representa-
tive Wadsworth of New York and
Smell are brought
into the discussion. But the discus
sions thus far have little more than
touched the surface.

WilmingtOn's knowledge
Of Peninsula's EcOnOm-
ic Structure Seen Asset.
IS WELL QUALIFIED

Governor c. Douglass Buck on
Monday recommended to Secretary
of the Interior Ickes by telegraph
that Gerrish Gassaway, manager OF
the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce, be appointed administrator
of public works for this district.
During a month of speculation
over who would be named to direct
distribution of Delaware's estimated
share of the Federal public works
program, Mr.. Gassaway's name has
led all others.
When it was first suggested that
he be named administrator, he said
he might be Obliged to decline be-
cause of the pressure of business.
However, numbers of persons have
urged that he reconsider, and when
question Monday night he said he
would probably accept the position
if Secretary Ickes accedes to Cover
nor's Bucks request.
The original plan of the Federal
authorities who are administering
the Industrial Recovery Act which
provides for the $S,300,000,OOO ma
tional public works program, was to
have an administrator for each
state. The selection of the admins
traitors, it was announced in Wash
ington. would be strictly non-parti-
san. Recently, however, the Federal
authorities abandoned this plan and
decided to establish districts, usu-
ally including more than one state,
with on administrator for each. I'm
der the new plan, it developed over
the weekend that merchants and
industrials in this area favor MAX
