AT THE MOVIES
Fog To Be at Capitol
Thursday and Friday

Mystery and detective tales have
been popular forms of fiction since
the earliest civilization. There is
reason to believe that the ancient
legends and myths are the forerun-
ners Of modern mystery fiction.
Folklore is full Of ghost stories; IA
bles abound with instances OF acute
deduction, or battle of WITS" as we
sometimes call it. And even primi-
tive religion with its magic and ritual,
OF which our drama Is an outgrowth,
was steeped in mystery.
Some Of cur greatest minds frankly
admit being addicts OF the ecrie.
spine-chilling school Of mystery
drama. 1t provides an escape from
reality and medium Of relaxation
that is indispensable. For this rea-
SON we find that murder mystery
! stories. plays and motion pictures Of
that ilk have always found a recep-
tive market. despite the volume Of
such material turned out each year.
The Saturday Evening Post re-
Gently popularized well-known de-
tective-mystery story by Valentine
Williams and Dorothy Rice Sims en-.
titled Fog" which the Columbia
Studios have produced into q thrill
Ing murder mystery drama. It will
be seen Thursday and Friday at thu
Capitol Theatre. Mary Brian. Don
aid Cook and Reginald Denny por.
tray the leading roles.

MAP FOR ZONED
FIRE DISTRICTS

Volunteer fire companies in Kent
county have been apportioned dis
tricts into which they are to. respond
following the task undertaken by a
group headed by J. E. Haddaway, of
Wyoming, to do the work. A map of
Kent county has been drawn, show
ing communities, all roads and
sources of water. The various fire
companies have been shown, and the
district for each has been indicated.
Under this plan much confusion will
be saved and the company nearest
the scene of fire is expected to re-
spond and call other nearby COM
panies if needed This map was
displayed and explained at the
monhly meeting of the Kent County
Firemen's Association, held at South
Bowers. The ten companies repre-
scented voted to buy copy of the
map. This will be in the telephone
exchanges and fire houses of the
county. When a call is received un-
der the new plan, the one who re-
ceives it may readily see in which
district it is, and what company is
to respond on the first alarm.

THE COOL BREEZE FARM

Located just west of Ellendale in
Sussex county the farm of MR and
Mrs. Geo. Cobaugh has earned it's
name well during the past week of
over-heated weather. They have
had many friends with them from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio
during the past five weeks, among
them being Milton Lowry and fam
il from Somerset county, Pa, who
were relatives; Clyde Lowry and
family from Akron, Ohio. They Wis
tied the Delaware Bay and Atlantic
Ocean shores, Indian River resorts,
and the Kent and Sussex Fair. They
were delighted with Delaware and
didn't mind the hot weather a bit.
They visited the new public school
at Milton and says our schools are
much better equipped than those in
Pennsylvania. Thanks to the du
Points, Delaware can be proud of
her schools and highways. %

which is often serious in fiocks that
run at large over the farm. When
fowls eat decayed food especially
putrid meat or maggots from rotten
flesh, they develop ptomaine poison
ing or butulism. This condition is
known as limberneck, as the mus
cles of the neck become paralyzed,
and the fowl is unable to hold up its
head. These symptoms are accom-
panied by yellowish diarrhea, and
the feathers on the back of the
fowl become so loose that they can
be easily plucked. Limberneck is the
result of poisoning, and is not dis
ease, so there is no danger of its
spreading from one bird to another
in the flock. Although the most
common cause of 'limberneck is
from poultry having access to de-
cayed animal flesh, some times this
trouble is caused by stagnant water,
or by feeding spoiled table scraps.
When this trouble is, noticed. in a
flock, all birds should be confined in
the poultry houses or in small
yards, and all sick birds treated
with epson salts at the rate of one
pound to 100 birds. Keep the birds
confined for three days, after which
time they may be turned out again,
provided a careful survey of all
surroundings has been made for the
purpose of removing all possible
sources of this trouble. .t rs

ion of the Crisfeld Chamber of Com
merce, is to be presented to the
Oyster Dealers and Packares' Asso-

tional meeting in New York this

rs APPLICANTS ARE
REFUSED BEER PERMITS

[COufiHaed from First Pagel
was made. Ninety per cent of COM
plants related to former illegal
selling of liquor by the applicant.
'The commission has not rated
this cause alone as sufficient for re-
fusal of license.
The commission, the statement
continues believes that its first
misunderstanding of an accessible
supply of beer-has now been fulfil
led. Those who exercise the right to
purchase beer from licensed estab-
lishments pay State tax amount
ing to one-third of a cent per bottle
of beer or one-fifth a cent per glass.
Attention is called to the fact that
1t is now a misdemeanor to buy beer
from any person not licensed to sell
or to buy beers on days or hours
of the day forbidden by the law, or
to take whiskey or other spirits into
the dining room of hotel or into
tavern.
"The law authorizes the commits
sion to require all beer entering the
State to be shipped direct to the
warehouses of the commission. The
commission would then sell and de-
liver all beer purchased for resale,
by hotels, restaurants, stores and
taverns, charging and collecting the
tax as part of the transaction.
However" the statement contin-
ues, later, "the commission believes
that as far as possible, beer should
be handled by those licensed under
the law and that the commission it.
self should not conduct any opera
tion connected with the traffic.
Those employing their capital in
buying and reselling beer, are en-
titled to the profits of their busi-
ness excepting the tax of one dollar
per barrel. 1t is best that the State,
acting through the commission,
should not engage in the beer traf-
fic as a competitor of private enter
prise"

SEX NO HANDICAP
:.' SAYS MISS PERKINS

"Woman's sex is no longer a han
dicap in any of the ordinary trades
or occupations of American life"
declares Frances Perkins, Secretary
of Labor. ts-. .. a- a :,
II really believe most people
make the mistake of overestimating
the difficulties a woman meets
says Miss Perkins, as quoted in the
Woman's Home Companion. "The
American man is accustomed to
dealing with women in business and
does it very we'll. .t.
I'm so accustomed to being a wo-
man that never think about it. Ex-
cept in climbing trees, it never both
ers me-" ...4 ...
Having said this much, Miss Per-
kins feels that the question of sex
handicap in business is settled.
Woman's place in the world of
large affairs is now definitely estab-
lished, she indicates; and for the rest
she is content to think and talk only
about her work, "just as any man
worth his salt is interested primar-
lily in his work, and only second
arily in the fact that he happens to
be a man."

PLANS FOR MILFORD BRIDGE
APPROVED BY U. S. ENGINEERS

City Council of Milford has been
informed that the plans for a new
bridge over the Mispillion River at
Pear street, in Milford, has been ap-
proved by U. S.engineers in charge
of Rivers and Harbors at Washing
ton, D. c.
For many years this project was
discussed, without anw definite ac-
tion to get authority from the U. S.
Government, or the State Legisla-
ture of Delaware, which was neces-
sary because of navigation laws,
and joint county control. with that
of City Council. This seems to have
been done, and now financial respon-
sibility is up to City Council.
The plans for this bridge as well
as all the engineering work were
done by Wilson M. Vinyard, Mayor
of Milford, who is civil engineer
as we'll as a boat builder, having
yards here.

lures will be pleased
to learn of an unus-
III ual opportunity to
- crafty this ardure.
Beginning with the twenty
fifth of August an exhibition of
portraits and landscape will be
held at the club house of the
Village Improvement Associa-
tion at Rehoboth. Between the
hours of 1890 and 5 o'clock
visitors will be expected and
welcomed. The exhibitor and
artist is our own townsman,
Gordon Saltar, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. Coleman Saltar, of
Clark avenue. For the benefit
of those who are interested it
seems well to give a bit about
the study and the work which
Mr.. Saltar has done. Beginning
near at home, in Philadelphia,
he attended the School of In
dustrial Art, where his instruc-
tors were Thornton Oakley,
John Dull and Luigi Spizarri. At
, the Academy of Fine Arts in
Philadelphia he studied under
Daniel CARRIER, Joseph Pearson,
Roy Muse and Hugh Brechen-
bridge. At the National Acad-
emy in New York City, George
Bridgeman, F. Vincent Dumonde
and Robert Henri were his in
structors. Mr.. Saltar did not
confine his study to his own
country but has studied abroad
in Fontainebleau, Paris, Brus-
sells, and Munich. He consider
ed the invitation to exhibit a
portrait at the Spring Salon in
Paris the most flattering COM

er. He is a member of the North
Shore Arts Association, Eel
lowship of Pennsylvania Acad-
emy, Wilmington Fine Arts As
soeiation, Gloucester Society sof
Fine Arts and the .Fontaine-
bleau Alumni Association. 1t
