COURT RULE ON
SENATE SEATS
Dismisses Mandamus on the
Ground Each House is
Judge of Its Own Body
DECISION is UNANIMOUS

The Court en- Banc Monday GER
titled an opinion to the Superior
Court of Kent County dismissing
mandamus proceedings brought by
John Biggs, Jr., chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, to
compel Lieutenant Governor Roy
F. Corley, as presiding officer of
the State Senate, to issue writs of
election for the purpose of filling
three vacancies alleged to exist in
that body. The mandamus proceed
ings brought by Mr.. Biggs as a
citizen and taxpayer involved the
right of State Senators G. Clifton
Maull, Ernest v. Keith and ]. Bur-
ton Wharton to sit as members of
the State Senate. Mr.. Biggs con-
tended that when the three men
accepted appointment to State Of
fees prior to converting of the last
special session of the Legislature,
they automatically resigned their
seats in the Senate. The courts
opinion means that Senators Maull,
Keith and Wharton retain their
Senate seats until expiration of
their terms. The opinion of the
court is unanimous. Chief Justice
Layton and Associate Judge Rod
ney, Harrington, Richards and

back into the PASTURE" produc-
ton of the health of users of
milk" and lin general. to promote
public confidence in the dairy in
dustry and public knowledge of its
complex problem" Under the pro-
posed plan, each dairyman signing
a contract would reduce his pro-
duction 10 per cent under the av-
erage for the last two years. For
this, the production would be given
benefit payments of 40 cents per
pound of butterfat reduced. These
would be financed by
tax on butter fat. In
a statement later, he said that if
the plan is adopted the retail price
of milk may be raised a half-cent
a quart. Reaction, however, seems
to be against the Wallace plan, a
sentiment that is growing.

DIR. Persis Elfeld of State
Hospital Staff Talks on
Mental Hygiene
NEED OF MENTAL CLINIC

DR.. Persis Elfeld, a member of
the staff of the Delaware State
Hospital for the Insane, addressed
the Smyrna Rotary Club on the
subject of Mental Hygiene" DIR.
Elfeld said in part that more per-
sons subject to mental diseases
come from the city than the small
localities. The type of citizens
that make the mental institutions
grow are outlined. Mental dis
eases were compared with physical
diseases. To avoid mental disor-
ders in the children of today, Men
tai Clinics are being established
throughout the United States.
These clinics are to better prepare
the rising generation for the tasks
ahead and keep them from institu-
lions when a cure can be effected
in youth. Clinic treatments in the
home, in the up-to-date clinic and
the institutions were explained.
The learned as well as the unlearn-
ed are susceptible to mental dis
ease as well as Physical disease.
1t is the purpose Of the Mental
Clinics to cure Mental deficiencies
just as much as the Medical Doc
tor strives to cure the physical dis
abilities of patients. Hervey P.
Hall, a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Delaware State
Hospital for the Insane, responded
to DIR. Elfelds address and the
club gave a rising vote of thanks
for the brilliant address given. DR..

OLD RATE is RESTORED

1t is estimated that the restora-
ton of 10 per cent of the Is per
cent pay cut of all Federal en-
ployes in Delaware, including offic-
ers and men at Fort DUPONT will
result liz an increase of the Federal
payroll liz Delaware by about
$150,000 a year. The independent
offices expense bill will result in an
increase of money paid Federal
employees numbering over 1000 in
Delaware, and increased compen-
sation to about 500 veteans here it
is estimated. In addition, officials
interested in veterans matters
here assert that at least 500 Della
ware veterans of the world War
will benefit by the restoration of
the cuts in compensation made UNI
der the Economy act of March 81
of last year All Federal employ
es will have 5 per cent of the Is
per cent cut restored to them i'm
mediately to be retroactive to Feb
ruary /, and on July l will have an
additional 5 per cent of the cut re-
stored, leaving a 5 per cent cut
still in effect. 1t is estimated that
there are approximately $500 war
veterans in Delaware. There were
about 10000 registered from Della
ware and 1900 of these are now
living. Those who were receiving
in service connected
cases, will have their compensation
restored to the same rate effective
before the Economy Act, and those
who received compensation as a re-
suit of disability, presumed to
come from their service in the
Aarmy, and Spanish American
War veterans will get rs per cent
of their compensation they were
receiving on March 81, last year.

START RAZING
THE OLD SCHOOL
Building Long Smyrna's Only
Educational Center, Be
ing Demolished
WORK STARTED MONDAY

Smyrna's old school building,
fifty years old, will soon be a thing
of the past. The Cantera Con-
struction Company of Wilmington,
who have the contract to build adj
ditions and remodel Smyrna's
Special District High School Build
ing, started to work Monday with
a force of men. AS soon as their
contract was approved, they came
into possession of the old school
building and at once made ar
engagements with the w. M. Hanly
Wrecking Crew of Wilmington to
begin tearing the familiar old ed
itice down. Mr.. Hanly on Monday
put his force of men on the job and
have now all the windows out and
are going right along with the job.
In another column he advertises
everything for sale. Supt. C.W.W.
Schantz asked permission to take
the school bell which has rung
many a session to order and the
weather vane on top of the belfry.
These he will preserve Probably
the bell will be erected as a sort
of a shrine to those who hold dear
all that will be left of the school.
The building being torn down, is to
make way for the foundations of
the wings and auditorium to be
built. This will extend almost to
South Street, with a colonial front
and entrance and a semi-circular
driveway that will lead up to it.
Along with tearing down the old
school house, a number of shade
trees will have to be sacrificed, but
we are told that all trees not in
the way, will be allowed to remain
as these shady trees too, carry
memories by those who participant
ed in planting them in their school
days. A sewer connecting the
new school with the South Street
main is being dug and is almost
completed. There is much activ-
ity on the school grounds as de-
molishing and constructive work
continues. The pupils of the low
er grades, who occupied the old
school building, have been housed
in the new High School Building
for the time being. Grades 1, 2
and have been combined in order
to make this possible.
