PAY ROLLS UP
S36,OOO,OOO
Survey Shows 100000
Put to Work in Nation
Under NRA.
PRICE INDEX INCREASES
Amount of Unemployment
Relief Has Decreased,
ProberS Find.

In a review of the work of the
first three months of NRA by the
district and state recovery boards,
it developed that the following
achievements have been accom-
pliShed nationally.
l. About 100000 workers have
received jobs with an increase of
at least $5O,OOO,OOO in weekly pay
rolls.
2. Total pay rolls hav increased
materially.
3. More than s2OOO,OOO,OOO have
been added to the value of farm
crops.
4. The general commodity price
index has risen considerably since
March.
5. The volume of business in the
country has increased. The amount
of unemployment relief has de-
creased.
6. Surveys made in fifty-eight In
diana towns and cities indicate
that there has been an increase in
annual pay rolls of over $36,000,-
900, due to the NRA program.
These improvements in the eco
nomic conditions of the country
are due in large part to the action
of the government, according to
the members of the district and
state recovery boards.
The Roosevelt policies, these lead
ers declare, have been based upon
the primary belief that intelligent
human beings ought to grapple with
their problems and try consciously
to direct events into desirable chan

of her good right hand as her five
fingers.
She is taller IAN her hus-
band. But he is ooss. IN fact,
he orders her q ID in quite a
definite manner. when he is eX-
cited. 1t doesn't bother her. She
knows her husband as few women
ever know their men. The more
excited he gets, the calmer she
seems to become.
TN her home she is the same
l. quiet, charming, efficient lit
tie person. She has done all the
wo-k at times. She MANAGES their
mcnage with ease and cheerful
ness
You feel that if she had to do
all the work, wash and make thcir
little 5-year-old daughter Jeans
clothes, she would get it all out of
the way so you would never see
the wheels of the hou-ehold 90
round, but just would cnjcy the
warm, hospitable home atmos-
phere.
Jean is the daughter of a friend
and is scheduled for adoption by
the La Guardias.
Mrs. La Guardia wears no
makeup, except lipstick and pow
der. Her own coloring is high
and attractive. Her bobbed gold
ish blond haiar is thick and wavy,
and she wears it simply, parted on
the left side 1t waves neatly
across her head.
TIER taste in clothes is quiet
l. l. but excellent. She always has
several gocd-lcoking black satin
dresses, usually unrelieved by
touches of color or costume
jewelry. She wears blue lot, too,
and has a preference for little
hats of good line, and fine ma
terial rather than ornately dec
GRATED ones.
To date she has never had time
to develop hobbies Probably she
would say that the major" as
she calls her husband, is her
hobby.
She looks surprised if reporters
ask her whether she can cook,
sew, keep house. "Of course is
her answer. But. like most work.
ing women who have had a hand
in world affairs, home routine is
not all-engroSSing.
However, one event she does
enjoy particularly. That is when
the major has some particular
friends up for Sunday night sup
per.
Then La Guardia puts on an
apron and cooks a spaghetti sup
per. And those who have eaten it
will tel you that it is no wonder
that NJ. La Guardia enjoys her
husbands cooking

sections of the United States, and
as a result of these demonstrations

AGREE ON NEW BRIDGE
ACROSS MISPILLION
Kent Aud Sussex levy Courts VIII
Pay Part OF Cost

On Tuesday the Kent County Levy
Court and the Sussex County Levy
Court held a joint meeting in the
office of the Milford Electric Light
and Water Plant to consider the
subject of building a bridge across
the Mispillion River from Pear
street in North Milford, Kent coun-
ty and Washington street in South
Milford, Sussex county.
The first decision of the courts
was for each of them to pay one
third Of the cost of the bridge pro-
viding the cost did not exceed $15.-
900. The other third to be paid by
the City OF Milford.
This was not satisfactory TO the
Milford citizens who were present
because they thought that the bridge
was surely county proposition and
that the counties should pay the ell
tire cost. Furthermore, il was stat
ed that the residents of Milford
Hundred and Cedar Greek Hundred
had been paying county taxes in all
the years past and that the amount
of county work that had been done
in those two hundreds was negll-
gible. ..,
However, the two county levy
courts maintained that the bridge
would be a good thing for the town
but as far as the counties we're con
cerned it was not necessary at the
present time.
They finally reconsidered their
decision and voted that each county

TO TRANSPORT
RLjRALPUPHS
State Board Requests
$S25,OOO For Each OF
Next Two Years.

Under a bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Simon, of Dover, several
weeks ago, the State is asked to ap-
propriate s325.000, for each Of the
next TWO Ascal years starting July
next, for the transportation OF pub
lie school children.
Figures of the State Boarl of Ed
ucation show that 7.54f children
were transported in 1881 and S9u2
children in 1882. an Increase in the
one year of 20 per cent The mum
her transported ;a 1872 represents
20 per cent of the children enrolled
i'm the public schools outside Of Will
mington.
The State Board of Education has
submitted to the Legislative Budget
Committee some interesting data on
the question of transportation Of
school children. It is shown that
the cost OF transportation for the
year ending June 30, 1892. was
S27S, ,146.43 and that if the present
regulations of the board are not
changed the cost for each of the
next two years will be S325,000 be-
cause of increased enrolment.
The memorandum sets out tbat
the present regulations of the board
as to transportation are as follows:
Transportation provision will be
made for, or a private allowance
given TO, a child below the seventh
grade when his home is in excess Of
two mills Zone way) from his
school, or to q child above the sixth
Grade when his home is in excess OF
three miles lone ,way) from his
school. rhe allowance will be made
only for the distance to the nearest
school of proper grade in excess OF
two t2) or three (3J miles as the
case may be-"
The memorandum also calls at
tention to the following which APP
peared in The annual statement OF
the State Board for the year ending
June 30. 1882: ~
"It is still felt that there should
be a uniform distance beyond which
all pupils should be transported to
school, and that distance is probab-
Iy 11h miles, instead of three miles
for children above the sixth grade
and two miles for children below
the seventh grade, and one mile for
IN districts that have been
closed by consolidation. The estab-
lishment of this uniform distance,
however. will mean still further
adding to an expense which is al
ready quite large, and likely to be-
come larger"
