FOREIGN LIQUOR
QUOTAS RAISED
France, Portugal and Ireland
Get Increase in Farm
Products Trade.

By the Associated Press.
The United States lifted its liquor
import bars a little higher today tC
allow the entry of about 100000 more
alcoholic gallons from France, Portugal
and Ireland within the next month
or so.
The Federal Alcohol Control Admin
iStratiOn described the move as a step
toward increasing the supply of pure
and wholesome goods as a means OF
beating down excessive prices"
The increases were traded for en-
larged takings of American farm goods
by the countries concerned.
With Englands allotments of 100000
gallons recently doubled. the latest
steps increased by 100 per cent the
and 10000 gallons. respectively, and
raised the Irish Free States quota OF
10000 by $50 per cent.
Liquor from Great Britain must reach
this country by January 81 and that
from France, Portugal and the Irish
Free State by January 30, the adminis-
tration said, adding that any balances
on the new quotas will be allotted Tor
the next permit period.
Demands for Scotch and Irish whls-
kies, gin and certain types OF foreign
wines. the administration said, have
been so great that some importers
found they could supply only their
legitimate trade in the New York area.
Others reported that States which had
recently entered the liquor business,
such as Pennsylvania and Michigan,
had practically bought them out of

Boston.-The Atlantic ocean is
worth 371a cents a cubic yard. ac-

in the Massachusetts general laws.
The statute reads: "The amount
of tide water displaced by any struc-
ture below high-water mark
shall be ascertained by the depart
ment Of public works, which shall
require the persons who cause such
displacement to make compensation
thereof by excavating, under its di-
rection. between high and low wa

water equal to that displaced, or
by paying to the commonwealth, in
lieu of such excavation. an amount
assessed by the department. not ex-
ceding 371a cents a cubic yard of
water displaced"
This law dates back to Civil war

NEW TYPE OF ROAD DRAINS
Chief Engineer Mack Trying Out
New Method on Highways

A new type of road drains are
being installed throughout the
highways in Delaware which in
comparison to their cost and the
results achieved are bringing some
splendid results. Where ever roads
might be covered with water or
where a wash might occur. drains
are being made in the shoulders
and light covering of amesite
used. The hardened surface over
the natural soil is eliminating the
wash of the shoulders as much so
as if the more expensive pipe drain
was used and is reducing to a
large extent the cost of the main
tenance and the former outlay in
making new fills. Chief Engineer
w. w. Mack, of the State High
way Department, has found them
so successful and economical that
they will probably be used on all
future constructions and will re
place some of the pipe drains now
in use when reinstatement is need

ALONG MARSH
Numerous Gunners Obtain
Good Bags of Wild Fowl
Along Delaware Bay
ONLY 3-DAY WEEK OF IT

The second of the ten week s
open season on wild fowl began
last week to continue through Sat
urday on the three day week bas-
is. Gunners were rewarded with
more shooting than they had the
first three days of the season.
Numerous fairly good bags were
made early in the mornings, main
ly between sunup and eight o'clock.
In the evening the shooting was
also fairly good. Black ducks and
teal were the species killed main
ly with a few mallards and sprigs
It is claimed that a lack of water
on the inland marsh between Della
ware City and Port Penn, on the
western side of the highway, has
kept the ducks from feeding III
that area SO far this season. The
water has been raised over the
marsh a few inches during the
past few days, however, by regula-
tions made at the cluice gate, and
it is expected that the ducks viii
again feed in this large marsh
area in their usual numbers.
