RADIO TALK
ENDS TRIAL
Abrupt Termination of Rum
Theft Charges at Penny
Hill Causes Sensation
HELD FOR CONTEMPT

The trial Of the Penny Hill liquor
theft case, which started in Gener-
al Sessions Court Friday morning,
was brought to a sensational close
shortly before noon when Resident
Judge David J. Reinhardt ordered
the foreman Of the jury to step
from the box, and declare a mis-
trial. Owing to some of the Ian
guage used in a radio broadcast last
evening in Wilmington, this court
is constrained to direct a mistrial
in this case" said Judge Reinhardt
addressing attorneys and the jury.
1T is with great reluctance that
have reached this conclusion, but
am convinced that the necessity
for such action is imperative" The
court did not disclose the language
used on the radio address. The
remarks, however, were made by
Charles M. Hackett, newspaper
man, who speaks nightly, ex-
cept Sunday, at $40 o'clock for
five minute period over WDEL.
Mr.. Hackett appeared before Chief
Justice Layton and Judge Rein
hardt with Ivan Culbertson, attor-
ney, at 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing in response to rule served on
Hackett Friday afternoon direct
ing him to appear and show cause,
if any he has, why he should not
be adjudged guilty of contempt of
court. A continuance for a week
or ten days was requested by Mr..
Culbertson. He explained that Mr.
Hackett's regular counsel is out of
the city. Mr.. Culbertson further
said he has not had time to pre-
pare Mr.. Hackett's appropriate
motions. Judge Reinhardt said
that in view of the fact the case is
one of contempt of court it should
have a speedy adjudication. He
said, however, he would grant a
continuance until Wednesday
morning and at that time would
consider a further continuance if
counsel showed good cause for it.
The contempt rule was issued on
Mr.. Hackett several hours after
Judge Renhardt declared a mis-
trial in the Penny Hill liquor theft
on Thursday night Mr.. Hackett
touched upon the Penny Hill liquor

URGE MUSEUM
AS SCHOOL AID
Prof. Albert Farley Super
visor of Sussex Schools
Makes Timely Suggestion
GREATER APPEAL TO EYE

The Philadelphia Commercial
Museum is a potent factor in the
education of Philadelphia children.
Many Pennsylvania schools have
specimen cabinets which material
lily aid in visual education. The
Field Museum of Chicago carries
on definite education campaign
Several city boards of education
have trucks which transport visual
material from school to school. If
this service is valuable for chill
dren in various cities, and in all
sections of Pennsylvania, why
wouldn't it be a god thing for Del
aware children? Education has
passed the stage where books
alone suffice. We need a State
museum which will lend objects to
schools. The State Library Com
mission sends bookmobiles to
schools to lend books. Why not a
State museum which would lend
exhibits of wool, silk, cotton, glass,
etc, to schools? 1t is unwise to
appeal only to child's sense of
hearing. Should we not make a
greater appeal to the eye? The
cost of the materials for this
museum would be very small
Many corporations are glad to
donate valuable material. The
main cost would be the erection of
the building and the cost of get
ting the material to and from the
schools. This, however, would be
money well spent. Instruction
would be more effective, interest
keener, retardation less, and we
could better take care of deviates
The picture, movie, stereopticon
slide, delineascope, stereoscope and
specimen should be accessible to
our teachers. They should be used
more extensively to supplement
books. A Chinese proverb says
that lone picture is worth 10000
words" One good specimen may
be worth many pages of text. The
survey which was conducted a few
years ago by the P. t. A. disclosed
q wealth of historical material in
homes all over the State. A
museum would put this idle mater
ial to work.

Crows Make
Fine Pets
By LIZ HUME

Young crows, strange as 1t
may seem, make interesting and
amusing pets.
We had one ourselves as q
youngster and found him full
of mischeivouS tricks and
capers. He was, as we remem-
ber, the vainest Of birds and
we could always manage him
by making unkind remarks
about his appearance.
A pet crow will become as
tame % o dog or cat. Ours
used to accompany us on walks,
hopping ahead or riding perched
on our shoulder. We never felt
the need Of clipping his wings.
It was, in fact, entirely un-
necessary. We couldn't have
lost him If we had tried.
We have been told that tame
crows, II returned to the woods,
are diSowned by their own kin.
dred and even are killed, which
may explain their dlSlncI1naC10n,
when once tanned, to leave their
owners.
A young crow should be fed
soft food, crumbled bread, moist
ened with milk; chopped cooked
meat and hard-boiled egg. Later
he can be fed table scraps, with
corn, oats and ripe fruit.
They are not, of course, adapt
ed to cage life. If you want q
crow and you live in the coun.
try, 60 ahead.
incidentally, they can be
taught to speak Q few words.
Ours, allah, never learned, but
We have heard some that did.

care. Her head ached and her
face felt stiff and wooden. She
went back into her own room,
flung herself across the bed
and went to sleep.
Susan Moves
A little before seven when
Herbst came around to the
back porch, bringing with him
the last bottle of milk that he
would ever deliver to the Bro
dericks, Susan was waiting for
him. Making very little noise,
the two Of them went upstairs
and carried Susan's trunk down
through the silent house and
out to the milk truck in the
side yard.
At Q o'clock when Vera Whit
tails men were bringing their
rolls of burlap into the house
and backing their van up to
the front porch a messenger
boy brought a telegram from
Susan's father. It was ad-
dressed to Aunt Edna and it
had been filed at San Diego.

Provide Susan with money
which he will refund to us!" re-
marked Aunt Edna with a loud
scornful shifting sound. When
did Morris Broderick ever pay
anybody anything that he owed,
I ask you?-That's fine thing
for him to wire when he knows
that Worthy had note after
worthless note of his when he
died!

well, even at that, I've got to

Aunt Edna" Susan turned to
her desperately. II can't be left
with only ten dollars to my
name, which Is all I have this
minute!-Surely some Of these
things must have belonged to my
father-these things that you're
selling. I ought to have some
money. At least hundred dol
lars, I should think.
Her Aunt opened the new felt
bag that she had bought for her
mourning outfit. II can't let you
have that much-but here's
fifty" she said.

Hope Gone
Early Friday afternoon the
telephone service in the house
was cut off. Not until then did
Susan really give UP hope that
Allen would call her UP. For
days every time the telephone
had rung she had waited with
every nerve in her body tense
for Aunt Edna or Lutte to call.
"Its someone for you, Susan"
At S o'clock she went upstairs.

came downstairs to tel! Lutte
and Aunt Edna that she was 60
ing out for a breath OF air.
She had been indoors all week
and she fairly ached to get out
into the crisp keen winter air
and get some exercise. AT the
back of her mind was the
thought that she might run over
to the Cullens for a minute or
two. She missed them. and sne
might see Allen.
It was dark when she reached
the Cullens' and somewhere
along. the street was the ap'
petizing odor of ham frying.
But the white house was dark
from cellar to attic and when
Susan rang the doorbell there
was no answer. Only the SOUND
of the bell itself as it buzzed
in the kitchen.
She went on down the street
to Uncle Arthur's store.
Susan was only a few yards
from the store when q street
car stopped at the corner to
drop two Of its passengers. A
slender girl in a red hat and
fur coat and a tall broad shoul'
dered young man who seemed
to tower above her as they
started up the street side by
side.
Instantly Susan recognized
them. Mary Cullen and Allen.
Their heads were turned to-
ward each other, and Mary'S
scarlet hat was like a live coal
in the glow of a street lamp
that they passed under as they
came along. Susan could hear
their voices through the still
cold air. She could hear Aliens
laugh.

and it seemed an age before
she heard the opening and clos

A light flashed out from the
windows of the living room.
Not until then did susan

She never remembered her
walk home that night. But
presently she was there, walk.
ing past the iron stag in the
front yard and going up the
stone steps.
After dinner she went up
stairs and finished packing her
trunk. Her books and her desk
set, the six dotted m uslin
dresses that had been her en-
tire wardrobe last summer, her
underthings all hemmed by
hands, her one evening gown,
the blue flannel dress that she
had worn the first time she saw
Allen, the violet toilet water
whose scent reminded her Of
the cheap little bunch Of violetS
that he had bought her ON the
library steps three weeks before.
And when she had put every.
thing in and had locked the
trunk she went out into the
carpetless hall and stood for O
moment looking into the room
that had belonged to him. In
the mirror above the dresser
she could see her own figure
silhouetted against the light in
the hall.
CHAPTER xXXVI
Lutte, shuffling up the stairs
in her Soft-soled house slippers,
came upon her standing there
and gave her q sidewise and
knowing look. II hope you
aren't incoming over Mr.. Sholes,
Childie," she said. "You know,
If he'd really cared anything
about you he'd never have left
the house without you that
He'd have swept everything
aside, and taken you with
him-or he wouldn't have gone
at ALI"
Susan turned and flashed o
look on her that she described
afterward as "just brazen" to
Aunt Edna.
"And If I'd had any brains
I'd have gone with him!" she
cried out. Anger flared up in
her for an instant and then
died down almost at once.
What was the use Of saying
anything now? It was too late.
Everything was spoiled. Every
thing was over.
wv hats the difference,
though? I've lost him and there's
no use talking 1t all over, Lutte"
she said quietly. She knew
clearly at last that she had
given Allen UP. She would
never see him again unless she
bumped into him on the street
or went to the Cullens. He was
gone.

CHAPTER .xxx1v

On Monday night John left
to 90 back to Omaha. Susan
went with him to the station
and, on their way downtown in
the Fifth Street trolley car, he
asked Susan what her plans
for the future were.
why don't you come out to
me and Connie when the girls
go south?" he asked. He often
referred to his aunts as "the
girls" and Susan never knew
whether he did it with humor
or simply because his father
and Uncle Worthy had always
called them girls.
"1'll get along. The Cullen
girls can show me how to 60
about getting some work to do,
and I'm not going to marry
Wallace" she said. IF I'd Just
had some kind Of practical
training, John!-" Susan'S
hands, which had seen linked
over her knee. fell apart and
hung at her sides in an uncOn-
Sciously helpless movement.

that you haven't had any"

the crust to stand UP to the
family and tell them that you
were going to take one. You
could have saved it, and have
done what you pleased with
it-if you'd Just had the spunk
to do it. You're too darned
easy with people, Susan. You
let them walk all over you with
hobnailed shoes-twice on the
soft places"
At the station, just as his
train was pulling out, he spoke
to her again about coming out
to Omaha to him and Connie.
Wen send you the money
when you want It," he called
from the platform as she
walked along beside the
slowly moving coach. "You
know we'll be crazy to have
you" And then he was gone.
Susan stood on the wind.

was just a red pinpoint in the
darkness. A train, eastbound
for New York, came thunder
ing down the tracks on the
other side Of the platform,
stopped for two or three min.

Still she stood there, thinking
over what John had told her.
1t was all true.
