HOMES TO PROVIDE A
VACATION FOR POOR CHILDREN

For the past fifty years the
Fresh Air Fund, sponsored by the
New York Tribune has made it
possible for children from the
slums and tenement districts of
New York City, between the ages
of Z and IL, to spend several weeks
in the rural districts of the east
ern part of the. United States.
When the first group was sent out
there were only sixty children in
cluded. Last year 10000 children
were distributed into homes along
the Atlantic seaboard. No expense
is connected with this movement.
Children are delivered into the sew
eral communities by an escort and
at the expiration of two weeks the
escort will call and return them to
their homes in the city. Those
who take advantage of this worthy
cause to give a child living in the
tenement district an opportunity
to enjoy two weeks in the country

NUMBERING ROAD ROUTES
Highway Department Making 1t
Easier for Visiting Motorists

The State Highway Department
is busy putting up the State num-
bers on the main highways in each
county and in a short time the
State roads as well as the United
States routes will be numbered and
marked. When possible, w. w
Mack, chief engineer states, the
numbers of roads continuing from
other States will be used so that
if Pennsylvania route 50 is being
used the same number will be con-
tinued when the Delaware line is
reached with Maryland routes also
continued so that tourists can fol-
low the route numbers with eace
and but little risk of getting on the
wrong roads. The numbers are
being marked in black on white
and junction and ar
row signs are also being set.

Bader Co., Lowest Bidder
DEAKYNEVILLE CHANGE

At meeting of the State Board
of Education Friday bids were op-
ened for a new school building at
Odessa. While $4,000 has been
allotted for this project the lowest
bid was S36,894. The bids were as
follows: j. A. Bader & Co., Inc,
Wilmington, S36, Master Ma
sons Construction Co, Philadelphia
$39,175; Phillip Lange, Audubon,
N. J., $4O,843; Cantera Construc-
ton Company, Wilmington, SAL
299; Rupert & Fulenwider, Inc,
Wilmington, S41,721 The Board
decided to make the award to the
J. A. Bader & Co., if sufficient
funds can be secured. Reports on
consultations were made by Sec
retary Holloway showing that the
vote in the Ellis Grove-Laurel dis
tricts was 81 for consolidation and
go against; in the Smyrna and
Deakyneville districts, for con-
solidation and none against. Build
ing needs for the Harrington col
ored school, Smyrna colored school
and the Newark white school were
presented but no action taken. The
school situation at Bear in New
Castle county was discussed and
the State Board offered to erect a
broom elementary school if, by a
referendum vote, the district shows
that it wants it. A request for a
power motor for the Marshallton
school was granted as was also one
for the John M. Clayton school.

STATE AUDITOR
HOLDS UP BILLS
Only a Balance of $1,000 in
the State Treasury General
Fund; Bills for $4,000
TO CALL CONFERENCE

With the depletion of the gener-
al fund in which there remains a
balance of only $1,000, State Aud
itor ]. Henry Hazel decided to sus-
pend payment, of all salaries and
expenses which are drawn from
this source until such time as a
plan can be devised whereby the
general fund will have been suf-
ficiently replenished to make it
possible for the State to meet the
bills which are credited against it.
This means that for the time be-
ing at least all State officials and
employees whose salaries are taken
from the general fund will have to
go without their pay. It also
means that State institutions,
boards, commissions and other
agencies of the State government,
the expenses of which are paid
from the general fund will be un-
able to meet these financial obliga-
tions. At the close of the business
day Monday afternoon the State
Auditor found an accumulation of
bills totaling approximately S10,-
900 had been sent to Dover and
with only about $1,000 to meet
them. 1t is estimated at least
100000 will be required to meet
the payroll for May and that at
least $4,000 additional will have
to be provided to meet the expense
accounts for May of the several
State departments. For payment
of salaries and departmental ex-
penses for June like amounts will
be required. There is a balance of

DILLINGER HUNT ON RIVER
State Police and Coast Guard Cut
ter i'm Vain Search for Outlaw

John Dillinger-itis has invaded
the peaceful Delaware River terri
tory, the "scare" revolving about
an innocent 40-foot sailing vessel
For the past several days, the YES
sci, equipped with an auxiliary
motor, had been riding at anchor
in one of the coves of Reedy Island.
The light house tender on the is
land had rarely, if ever, seen a
boat in that cove and his suspic-
ions were aroused. He notified
the Delaware State police and the
Coast Guard base at Cape May.
To his report, he appended: 1T
may have John Dillinger aboard!'
Neither State police nor Coast
Guardsmen were going to take any
chances. The rumor might be
groundless; but then again, one
could never tell just where Amer
icas public enemy No. / might
turn up. Captain Ray and Cor
poral Knecht of the State police,
set out to investigate.
