WARN BONUS" APPLICANTS
Warned by Red Cross to Apply for
Certificates Before January 2

The final date on which World
War veterans may file applications
for adjusted compensation certifi-
Gates has ben set for January 2,
1885. Any veteran of the World
War, or any dependent of a veter-
an who is dead, who has not ap-
piled for bonus certificates, is re-
quested to visit Delaware Chapter
headquarters on or before January
2, with proper honorable discharge,
so that an application may be filed.
Veterans eligible for the bonus"
certificates must nave served more
than sixty days during the war
period April 5, November
IL, 1918, and have ben honorably
discharged. Certain high ranking
commissioned officers, civilian en-
ployees of the Army and a few
other similar classes are not elig-
ible. Dependents Of veterans who
died in the service, or since, who
failed to apply for the certificates,
or who died after filing, but before
receiving certificates, should make
before it is too late.
Widows and children have prefer
ence over dependent parents. If
there is no widow or child, depend
ent mother may file, or if mother
is not entitled, dependent father
may file. Dependency of parents
is presumed after age so, and be-
fore that age evidence of depend
ency must be presented.

RELIEF AID FOR STATE
Governor Buck Thinks State En-
titled To Federal Aid

When the suggestion that the re-
lief burden should be returned to
the states, made at the recent joint
meeting of the National Chamber
of Commerce and the National
Manufacturers Association at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, was
called to the attention of Governor
c. Douglass Buck, the Governor
said: "I feel Delaware is entitled
to such assistance as the govern
ment can afford to pay in an en-
ergency like the present one, es-
pecially in view of the amount of
taxes this State pays into the Fed
eral treasury. Last year Delaware
paid the Federal government some
thing like $1S,OOO,OOO in taxes,
whereas the total allotments from
the government for relief work did
not exceed $1,000, ,000."

EXCESSIVE speed is the cause Of
more automobile accidents
than anything else of which we
have knowledge. according to the
records of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters.
II played It's part in virtually every
one Of the 100000 accidents last
year which took the lives of 10000
persons and injured more than $780,
600. The trouble is that there Is no
hard and fast rule for speed. This
does not mean that there are no
LAWS because nearly every state has
speed limits and its towns have
similar regulations. But speaking
generally where the Judgment of
the motorist is involved 1t might be
said that there are certain Ettua-
lions where 10 miles an hour Is ex-
cesstve speed while at other times
. mileA-minute would not be posi-
lively dangerous. OF course. It ts
understood that such q rate Of
speed u always risky. and the safe
pace tor the best car = always be-

FALSE BELIEFS
ARE UNIVERSAL
Survey Shows No One Is Free
From Superstition in
Country
WOMEN SUSCEPTIBLE

New YOrk.-A survey of the
sources and prevalence of supersti-
tions in the United States has Just
been completed by DIR. Julius B.
Mailer and DR. Gerhard Z. Lun-
deem of the Institute of School Ex-
perimentation of Teachers college.
In their nationwide investiga-
tion they found not one person en-
tirely free of some unfounded be
liefS.
They discovered that in general
women are more superstitiOus than
men and that persons who lived in
the country have more need of rab
bits feet than their urban cousins.
The main source of superstitiOns.
according to the investigators, is
statements made by friends. Par
ents are evidently more practical
for they are responsible for only
such minor superstitions as Win
ters are not as cold now as they
were 40 or so years ago." And in
view of last winters freezing
weather. the authors of the research
are willing to concede that this su-
perstition may very likely become
a myth of the past.
Two-thirds of those interviewed
confessed that they had learned
from friends and accepted as true
the statements that four-leaf clover
and rabbits feet brought good luck.
A like number believed that if two
persons walked on the opposite
sides of post they will quarrel.
OF those questioned per cent
declared that they had been told in
church that a person who avoided
your glance while talking to you
was inclined to be dishonest.
According to the authors, there
are seven superstitions which many
persons believe because they are
convinced that they saw the phe-
nomenon personally. The most
prevalent of them is, ''if you kill
snake it won't die until the sun goes
down."
Doctors Mailer and Lundeen feel,
however. that. generally speaking.
observation tends to correct miscon-
ceptions. They also declare that
education is great aid in stamp
ing out false beliefs.

BUYS PLACE AT CAMBRIDGE
Governor-Elect Earle of Pennsyl-
yania Acquires Game Preserve

George H. Earle, III, Democratic
Governor-elect of Pennsylvania
and former minister to Austria,
has recently purchased a 133S-acre
hunting tract in Dorchester coun-
ty. The tract of land known as
Guinea" was purchased at public
sale for the sum of S9,950.
Guinea" is well known among
Eastern duckshooters as one of the
natural game preserves where all
sorts of marsh and water ducks
may be found. It has seven hun
dred acres of marsh and nine miles
of shore front on Fishing Bay and
the Transquaking River giving it
fine lands for teal, black ducks,
mallards, diving ducks, and can
vasbacks. During the past year
the hunting rights to the property
have ben leased 20 Mrs. Pauline
DUPONT Dean, Mrs. Esther dupont
Wier, and Mrs. Wilhemina dupont
Ross, of Wilmington. The property
has been in the Wall family for
about sixty years. For the last
forty years it was owned by Jesse
B. Wall. 1t was sold by the trus-
tees of the latter's estate. Gov
ernor-elect Earle, it is said, will
restock the land with pheasants,
wild turkeys, quail and deer.

REPUBS AIM FOR
6O-DAY SESSION
Want To Get Down To BuSi-
ness at Start and Ad-
jOurn April 10th
AIM TO AVOID DELAYS

Speedy disposition of the mass
Of important legislation which will
be introduced in the General AS
sembly which meets January 1, in
order that the session will not be
prolonged beyond the so legisla-
tive days provided in the State
Constitution, is the aim of the ad-
ministration and the Republican
leaders of the State, the members
of which party will be in control of
the Senate and House. Every eff
fort will be made to dispose of the
important bills as quickly as pos
sible. II is expected the governors
program will be submitted early
and that both houses will, a month
after convening, nix the deadline
for the admission of new business.
If this program is adhered to it
would bring final adjournment
about April 10. 1t is understood
the administration is especially
anxious to avoid the prolonged
wrangling and deadlocks which
were features of the last session
when the control was divided be-
tween the two major political par
ties. Governor c. Douglass Buck
is said to be anxious to have the
Legislature keep right at work
once it gets started. Because of
this and the committee appoint
ments having been completed for
the opening day it is the plan now
to remain in session from January
1. The first bill introduced at the
session will be the revised code.
1t will be submitted in the House
and will be known as House Bill
No. /. 1t will be followed by the
tentative budget bill, after which
will come a series of measures de-
signed to clothe the separate coun-
ties with power to take care of
their individual relief problems.
The revised code will be a docu-
ment of $500 printed pages, more
than a third larger than the exist
ing code. 1t will take the course
of a regular bill, but it will re-
quire between two and three weeks
for its passage through the Senate
and House. 1t is the plan now to
adopt it as quickly as possible so
that all amendments that NAV he
passed at the coming session can
be made to the code itself. A ma
jority vote in the Senate and
House can determine just how the
code is to be handled and both
may adopt a plan to ex-
pedite its passage without violat-
ing constitutional provisions re-
gardirg its adoption. There is
in the constitution requir-
ing the entire code to be read from

were made of all kinds of material
and some of them very unique in
appearance. Several samples can
be seen in the post Office window.

Frequency of Storms

The occurrence of more lightning
storms in summer Is caused not
alone because weather conditions
are then best for the formation of
strong upward currents of air having
high velocity. but also because the
raindrops are probably warmer.

best to restrict farm surpluses by
withdrawing millions of acres of
old farm land from cultivation.
Secretary Ickes, undaunred, replied
in om-the-shoulder fash
ion. in the same magazine which
had attacked his program. Land
withdrawal, he said, was an emer-
