DOLE DEADL|NE
EXTENDED

Direct relief will continue until
at least one employable in every
family on relief, and all employ.
able single persons on relief, are
provided with jobs, WPA officials
said today.
The deadline for ending direct
relief, November /, announced
five months ago by Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins, has been ex.
tended officially at least to No
vember Is.
President Roosevelt has ap-
proved 81 1900, ,O00,0 900 in WPA prof.
ects, but only $685., ,000, 900 in cash
has been made available by the
Bureau of the Budget and Comp
troller General McCarl.
McCarl has approved only $20,.
100000 in projects in the last 10
days-only enough to put approx
mately $1,000 persons to work
under the WPA average wage
scale of STAB per year per man.
To put 100000 to work, Of
whom only 1,126,000 had been
employed up to last Friday, an
average of $1,000 a day would
have to be given jobs to end re-
lief by November !.
This, WPA officials admit, is
becoming less possible daily.

AMENDMENT
EXPLAINEDBY
HOFFMAN

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 0.N.S0.
Terming it a non.partisan meas
ure, Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, Of
New Jersey, today urged considera-
ton Of his proposal that the Su-
preme Court pass upon the con-
Stitutionality of laws enacted by
Congress before they become ef-
fective.
Governor Hoffman, potential
Republican candidate for the
presidency, explained his proposal,
which calls for an amendment Of
the Constitution to make it ef.
fective, at a Lions Club luncheon.
The proposal he explained, was
not his own, but had been ad-
vanced by James Madison, "The
Father Of the Constitution" at
the original constitutional conven-
ton.
Emphasizes Time, Cost
Governor Hoffman emphasized
the time and cost involved in
bringing a challenge to the con-
stitutionality of a new law before
the Supreme Court, He said:
"The laws resulting from the
Joint action of the legislative
and executive branches Of the
Government go into effect and
are enforced.
Recently we have had an in
stance in which the President
urged the Congress to pass n
certain law without regard to
its probable uncOnStitutionality.
That law Is in effect now.
MUST PAY IT'S COST
"The julicial branch Of our
Government cannot exercise its
function in time to protect the
public from this class Of legisla-
tiOn. It cannot function at all
until some private citizen ex-
pendS from his own pocket the
considerable sum required to
carry q suit in law or equity
through the lower courts and
place it before the Supreme
Court on appeal
"This amounts to liberty by
purchase. No one can approach
the Supreme Court for a ruling
upon the c0nStitutiOnality Of
any statute without paying the
price, and, even then, two or
more years usually intervene be-
tween the enactment Of an un-
constitutional Law and its rejec-
ton by the Supreme Court.
During this interregnum great
losses may be inflicted upon in
dividuals or upon the public as
n whole"

IN the past, hundreds Of families have
asked us, "Why don't you sell a
good small upright and grand at low
price," :. We had but one answer
available types of pianos made to sell
at these prices would not meet our
demands for tone quality, service
ability and genuine value. NOW,
however, by special arrangement with
a well-known manufacturer, we are
able to offer you a grand or upright
piano meeting the exacting standards
of Homer L. Kit Co., together with
the public demand for a sensational
low price.
To obtain this remarkable conces-

FIRE ESCAPE on the
rear of Police Headquarters
would be a means of exit in
case of fire, but, as Fire De-
partment officials inspecting
Police Headquarters yester-
day noted, access to the fire
escape is blocked by locked
doors, some of which are
impeded as well by police
goods. A narrow stairway,
with an open well going from
the basement to the roof at
headquarters, is another men,
ace, fire officials believe.
This is the only stairway in
the building. Two antiquated
elevators supply the only
other means of exit in the

 At the present time our re- cords show that we have among the natives of Alaska, 10 or 12 times as much Tuber culosis as we have in other localities. The instance of Tuberculosis among whites is about on a par with similar locations in the states. When we have made complete sur vey of the actual conditions existing in the Territory, we hope to be able to convince the authorities in Washing ton that the Territory of AL aska needs and should have at least two modern Tubercu loSis Sanatoriums located with in the Territory.
 We do not contemplate giv- ing very much direct relief from our present fund. If we did attempt direct relief, our funds would be exhausted very shortly and we would not have accomplished very much. Our ultimate aim will be the irradication of Tuber- culOsis in the entire Territory This will require great deal of field and educational work We hope that every citizen in the Territory will get be, hind this Christmas Seal Sale and help us in the fight again, st Tuberculosis in the Terri. tory of Alaska.

.STAYTON LETS
LOOSE ON CRIME
Declares BOOtlegging Was
Spawned" During Pro-
hibitiOn Days
URGES PUBLIC AWAKE

Captain w. H Stayton, of Wash
ington, D. c., formerly of Smyrna,
head of Repeal Association, and
founder of the now dissolved Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, has unloosed a blast
against bootlegging which was
with us for nearly fifteen years un-
der prohibition, has been with US
since repeal, and is only slowly i'm
proving" He deplored the prop
aganda he said dry organizations
are disseminating to the effect that
conditions under repeal are vastly
worse than under prohibition.
They fiagrantly ignore the fact
that they are primarily responsible
not only for much that is unsatis-
factory in connection with control
of the liquor traffic, but for the
horde of gangsters, kidnapers and
murderers who menace our coun-
try today" he said. The Federal
Alcohol Control Administration es-
Inmates that half of the hard liquor
consumed in this country now is
made by bootleggers," Captain
Stayton continues. This means
that approximately 20 million gal
Ions of uninspected, untaxed. and
often deadly prisonous liquor is be
ing distributed by criminals. Such
liquor is the direct cause of many
deaths and much sickness and suf-
fering. Reputation of the crim-
inal offspring does not relieve the
prohibitionists of their responsible
ity for its existence 1t is time
that the progenitors of the boot
Logging admit that they sowed
their wild oats with direful results,
and honestly take their part in
bringing about stricted discipline
of their wayward child. Becloud-
ing the issue by trying to lay
blame on repeal for the evils still
existing in connection with control
of the liquor traffic only adds to
confusion of thought. 1t is the
patriotic duty of every citizen
wet or 'dry'-to do all that is hu-
manly possible to stamp out the
criminal classes spawned by pro-
hibition. Experience has shown
that legislation alone cannot do it.
Only an awakened public consci-
ence, based on knowledge of actual
facts, can accomplish it."

DELAWARE APPLE BLOSSOMS
IN BLOOM DRAW THOUSANDS

Cheswold, six miles below Smyrna
Many go into Sussex county as it
is not until one gets considerably
below Dover that one finds the or
chards more plentiful and in full
bloom. Those in lower Kent oCun-
ty will probably reach their height
late in the week and will still be
available to motorists next Sunday.
Many motorists like a run now
days to Rehoboth where some Sum-
mer cottages are open and where
the board walk lures parties for
day trips. Peach blossoms have
also been in bloom, but since so
many buds have been damaged by
winters frost and ice, they are not
many orchards that are going to
produce this year. It's a pretty
sight to see the few that are in
bloom. Scarlet clover will soon be
in bloom. A ride through Del
aware these Spring days is worth
while.

Thousands of motorists from all
parts of the State and from many
points in surrounding States are
taking advantage of these balmy
Spring days to motor to Kent
County for a glimpse of the apple
orchards in bloom. State Police
at the Dover station reported last
Sunday that a steady stream of
outomobilists drove slowly through
the orchard districts in order to
drink in the beauty which greeted
them on all sides. Despite the
heavy traffic in all parts of the
State, especially when homeward
bound, State Police reported that
no serious accidents and only a
very few minor mishaps occurred.
Most of the beauty-seeking motor
lists continued on from Smyrna
thru Dover to the Bancroft and

on the proposed Chesapeake Bay
Bridge at the opening session of
the association Former State Sen
ator ]. H. c. Legg of Queen Anne's
county, attacked the bill. He
threatened that, if the measure is
signed by Governor Nice, I'VE may
even go to Washington and file a
protest with Federal authorities
against the erection of the bridge
at the proposed point. There is
one thing I don't want Kent coun-
ty to get and that is the bay
bridge" Legg said. But wouldn't
be surprised if you get that, too.
However, the Governor hasn't sign
ed the bill yet and there is a great
deal of opposition to the proposed
span all along the Eastern Shore"
Former State Conservation COM
missioner Harry c. Vickers, after
ney to the Kent county board of
commissioners, answered Legg i'm
mediately. Senator Leggs re
marks should not go unchallenged.
Kent county is a unit for the
bridge and believes it would be not
only a monument to the states
progress, but would do more for the
Eastern Shore than any other one
project that has ever been propos-
ed. THE fact is" Vickers con-
tinued, ''the site has been definitely
fixed upon. The Federal govern
ment is ready to hand out the
money the State of Maryland wiz
never appropriate the money to
build the bridge either at the point
decided upon or at any other place
We are faced with the question Of
whether the bridge will be built
now and at the place selected-or

DEATH RECORD OF WEEK
Alfred 1. DUPONT, a Native of Will
mingtOn, Delaware, Dies in Florida

Alfred Irenee DUPONT, 70, a ma
tive De}awarean, said to be the
wealthiest year-around resident of
Florida, died Monday of an heart
attack. While no outsider knows
the amount of his vast estate, it is
believed his years of activity in the
gigantic E. l. DUPONT De Nemours
Company, of Delaware, and subse-
quent connection with other enter
prises netted him more than $780,
100000. Ill for several weeks of
influenza, Mr.. DUPONT was stricken
with a heart attack last Thursday.
His rally was SO pronounced ply
sicians told the family he was out
of danger. But another attack
Monday proved too severe. The
announcement of his death was re-
ceived with sorrow all thru the
State. He was particularly inter-
ested in the Welfare Home, Smyr-
ma, and in old age pensions, had
given of his time and means for
the inmates of the Welfare Home.
He was an industrialist, politician,
chemist, engineer and philanthro-
pist. His greatest talents probably
lay in organization. In the ten
year period following 1902, he
nodded the DUPONT interests with
assets of about $15,OOO,OOO into the
vast DUPONT De Nemours organiza-
ton valued at $82,OOO,OOO. But
his contribution to the chemical
and manufacturing concern did not
stop with organization. He is
credited with the development of
prismatic powder, fired in this
country's largest-calibre cannon,
and designed the machinery used
in producing black powder. He
acquired four radium mines at Cen
trail City, Colo, and spent great
sums in the development of a test
ing and producing mill from which
came much of the radium used in
cancer experiments. Funeral SER
vices will be held to-day at the
DUPONT estate in Delaware The

es. He leaves one son, Alfred Vic
