NO SHAD UNTIL APRIL
Opening of Season Delayed Be.
cause of Ice in River and Cold

In many past years at this time
local fishermen have been over
hauling their nets and boats and
making ready for the run of sbad
and herring up the Delaware Riv-
er. This year, however, the open
ing of the season is expected to be
delayed indefinitely because of the
ice in the river and the generally
cold weather. Shad are now being
caught off the cast of the Caro-
linas but it will be some time be-
fore they work up the coast to the
mouth of the Delaware Bay mas
much as there is plenty of ice to
go out the river yet and the snow
melting and running into the river
makes the water exceptionally cold
for this season. Some years the
first shad are taken around March
25 but it is not expected that anv
Delaware River shad will grace
the tables of local residents bv
that time this season or even bv
Easter. Around the middle of
April, if the weather continues
good, is when the first shad are ex-
pected to run. Some of the old
fishermen in this section state that
they expect good season when
the fish begin to run. They base
their belief on the fact that after
an unusually cold winter there is
generally a good run of fish. Last
year there were no local shad on
the market at Easter time but
plenty of Crisfeld, Md, shad.

the romantic entanglements, of
three sprightly. light hearted art
lists. The triangular romance has
its inception in Partisan spring,
and wends its hilarious path
through London and New York be-
fore it reaches its bombshell con-
clusion. When Gilda met Tom and
George on the train that afternoon,
she just never thought of love, es-
pecially love at first sight. She is
too fond of Tom to tell him she
loves George, and she also loves
George too much to tell him of
Tom" So the three of them set
tie down together in a Paris attic,
and their search for happiness be-
gins. The boys become famous and
Gilda finds herself entangled in
two romances. To save the boys
friendship, she leaves. and goes to
the states to marry her former en-
ployer. The boys arrive on the
scene when they are needed most

BILL IN SENATE PRAISED
Bill To Create Delaware Finance
Corporation To Aid UNEMPLOYED

The bill introduced in the Senate
by Senator Keith and in the House
by Representative Pryor to create
a Delaware Employment Finance
Corporation is the soundest, most
practical and workable plan for
rescuing the country from the de-
preston of all the panaceas sug-

Frere, president of the American
Guarantee and Trust Company, Of
Wilmington, according to a letter
he has written to Frank H.Shakes-
peare, of Dover, originator of the
plan The object of the proposed
corporation would be to finance
worthy enterprises that would give

multitude of panaceas proposed,
national, State and municipal, for
rescuing the country from the de-
preston" wrote Mr.. Frere. Il think
yours the soundest, most practical

ARE YOU
as expert as sHE2

THINK for a minute-What if you had
the house to run, meals to plan and
children to care for? Do you think
you could do the job as well as your
wife does? On the same amount of
money? Be honest.
The housewives of the nation
study and know their jobs. They read
the advertisements regularly. They
keep themselves Informed of the best
offerings of the stores. They are ex-
pert purchasing agents.
These purchasing agents, from
necessity or individual desire, aim to
make every dollar spent return full
one hundred cents worth in value.
They know their needs. They know
through the advertisements just
where these needs can be best sup
piled at the least cost. Such intelligent
buying saves time and effort and
money. 1t results i'm management
of the home that is truly efficient.
This is why, MIR. Merchant, you
should advertise. Spring is opening
and Easter is almost here. Keep your
store news before the public. The
Smyrna Times goes into the homes in
this trading area, homes you should
cultivate by making weekly appeals.

VOTER LAW IS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Registration Act Is Upheld
by Supreme Court
of State.

Indianas 1888 voter registration
law was held constitutional today
by the supreme court.
The lower court mandate requir-
ing the Marion county council APP
propriate sufficient funds to carry
out provisions of the law was sus-
tanned by the high court.
All counts attacking the law as
unconstitutional were over-ruled in
the opinion written by Justice
James P. Hughes and concurred in
by all members Of the court.
MandamuS action was brought
when the county council failed to
appropriate sufficient funds to carry
on registration. Judge James D.
Ermston, sitting as pro tenn. in
superior court four, issued the man
date.
Appeal then was taken to the
high court in the name of the cOun-
Gil. Attorneys for the councilmen
contended that the law abrogates
the constitution in not giving the
sick and absent voter an oppor-
tunity to cast ballot
The new statute provides that ev-
cry voter must register twenty-nine
days before each election.
UNFOLDING the laws constitution
atty, the high court declared that it
offers no discrimination and there
fore does not deprive any class of
voters of their right to vote.

NAILS REDS
SPEAKER SAYS
Hitler Party Likened to
Communists by Famed
Journalist.

Like British roast beef, Nazism
is brown outside and red inside"
Leland Stowe, Paris correspondent
of the New York Herald-Tribune,
quoted this remark. attributed to a
famous diplomat, to the members
of the Rotary Club at luncheon in
the Claypool today.
When the Nazis came into power,
p pl e underestimate TIL e r
strength" said Mr. Stowe. 1T was
thought at FIRST that Hitler merely
was the forerunner of a return to
Germany of the Hohenzollern rule.
Actually, the Nazis have swung
so far to the left, that it now seems
very unlikely that the HohenzollernS
ever will return to power.
1t is more likely" the speaker
continued. that eventually, Nazism
will become something so akin to
Communism that the difference will
be imperceptible.'
Like the Communists" he said.
the Nszis have created a privileged
class, the sotcalled Storm Troopers
Their propaganda methods are
similar to those employed by the
Russians, but more effective. The
Nazi spy system is more brutal even
than the notorious G. P. U.
The 'GeStapo' or NaI secret po-
lice, are a veritable terror through
out the length and breadth of the
land The stories of brutaIities in
flicted on Jews are not exaggerated.
The Nazi treatment of the
wealthy classes is very similar to
that accorded the KulakS in Rus
STA. Sooner or later, unless war
comes, big industry in Germany Will
be ruined.
This will be caused by the re-
employment scheme now enforced
in Germany, where manufacturers
are forced to take on more help
whether they need it 70 not. Profits
are sacrificed to more employment
In all parts of the fatherland,
the machine is rapidly disappearing
in favor of manual labor in order
to give more employment. In the
whole country, for example, only
one cigar factory using machinery
is in existence. The rest of the
cigars are made by hand.
Many times I have been asked
who dictates to Hitler, the dictator. 4"
said Mr.. Stowe. My answer is that
Hitler Is told what to do by the
Storm Troopers, the ruling class in
the new Germany.
Mr.. Stowe. who won the Pulitzer
prize in 1880 for the best foreign
correspondence, returned from a
six weeks visit to Germany last
month.

for DR.. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop,
suspected slayer of her daughter
law, Rheta, announced today they
would seek her release on bail. A
trial of murder charges against the
woman physician was declared a
mistrial yesterday.
Judge Joseph B. David arranged

koop's death from heart disease.
The action occurred in the midst
of the states presentation of its
charges that Dr.. Wynekoop chloro-
formed and shot Rheta to death to
collect insurance payments and rid
her son, Earle, of an unwanted
wife.
The defendant collapsed five times
during the week of trial.
Assistant States Attorney Charles
S. DOugherty said he would oppose
any attempt to win the defendant
release on bail.
Dougherty said that after thirty
days he would ask Chief Justice
Philip J. Finnegan of the Grim
inal courts to reaSsign the case for
trial Judge David sent the case
back to Finnegan without prejudice
to state or defendant. If DR.. Wyne-
koop fails to win release on bail and
her condition continues too serious
for trial, she may spend the rest of
her life in Jail.

dismissed jurors opinions revealed
that three jurors were much i'm

day afternoon The league met in

The resolution reads: THE idea
of transient homes for wandering

grounds that complaints have been

payers, who regarded them (the
homes as possible Ravens of rest

Senator Fess termed as "dis-
honest" any legislation which would
provide for such devaluation and
subsequent issuance of greenbacks.
This would be fiat money" he
said, and this percentage of the
debt would be repudiated. Such
legislation is a dishonest proposal

The question is not what per-

should we devaluate at all?"
