This quilt-C Chrysanthemum-
as gorgeous as the flowers Of
that name-is most deceiving in
appearance! Seemingly intri-
cate when viewed as a finished
quilt, it is really exceedingly
easy to make. The greater part
of the pattern pieces are the
same width, which permits cut
ting the material in strips and
cutting off the pieces as needed.
This greatly simplifies the work.
The design lends itself to va
riety Of color schemes, three Of

JAIL THREE FOR
CORN THEF'TS
White Man and Two Negroes
Plead Guilty of System
attic Robbery
SOLD CORN IN SMYRNA

An orgy of corn stealing the
like of which has not been known
in Kent county for many years
was revealed at Dover before Res
ident Judge w. w. Harrington
when Mildred Waters and Richard
Waters, negroes, and Bertram
Scott, Jr., white, pleaded guilty to
ten indictments of larceny of corn
from farmers in almost every part
of the county. To Corporal John
H. Conrad of the State police is
given the major credit of solving
the thefts and rounding up the
three defendants all of whom
plead guilty to the several indict-
ments. Several of the robbed
farmers failed to report their loss
but when John w. Pearson, Jr., of
near Little Creek, missed A BUSH
els in one night he notified Cor
poral Conrad who began the in
vestigation which resulted in three
weeks search for the thieves.
Corporal Conrad secured a signed
confession from Scott, telling how
the systematic thievery was car
ried on. Scott would ride all day
locating corn fields where the corn
was still in the open and during
the night in company with Mildred
Waters they would visit the par
ticular fields located and the haul
was made. Richard Waters who
claimed he had no part in the ac-
tual stealing furnished the truck
to do the hauling in. The thefts
began about November 1 and con-.
tinued on up to November %. The
defendants were not sentenced on
all of the indictments filed by the
attorney-generaPs office. Sentences
imposed by Judge Harrington in
more serious cases were as fol-
lows: Mildred Waters, sentenced to
10 months imprisonment; Richard
Waters, two years Imprisonment;
Bertram, two years Imprisonment,
one year each on two separate in
dictments. The three will spend
their terms in Kent county Jail.
The corn stolen by the men was
sold at mills at Willow Grove, Ris-
ing Sun and Smyrna the story Civ
en- the millers was that they had
$50 acre farm near Dover on
which they had raised the corn.
Judge Harrington made it plain
that if they ever returned to him
again on such a charge he would
not only give heavier prison sent
ences but would include the lash as
well.

REPORT THEFTS TO POLICE
Out of 10 Thefts in Kent County,
Only One Complaint Made

Immediate report to the State
Police of any thefts is very i'm
portant in the detection of the
crime said c. c. Reynolds Super
intendent, last week in comment
ing on the recent robberies that
have been prevalent in lower Del
aware. In speaking of the large
number of thefts of corn in Kent
County Superintendent Reynolds
disclosed that out of ten on which
indictments were returned only
one complaint was made to the
State Police. In Sussex County
out of considerable stealing of
poultry only two reports were
made to the State Police. The
State Police said Superintendent
Reynolds cannot bring about the
arrest of such thieves unless the
losses are reported. He also es-
pecially stressed the fact that re-
ports should be made Immediately
the theft is discovered. Often, if
a complaint is made Immediately,
there is a splendid chance of bring
ing about the arrest of the Grim
inal in a short time but if several
days elapse before the report is
made, the chances of aprehending
the thieves are remote.

Bangs disease is declared by live.
