By RICHARp HARKNEss

8gA@@@@aaSAS AANaANAoAN United Press Stan Corespondent) Washington, Oct. 4.-(UP)-The New Deals 5000. 900. 900 work relief program today reached its crisis-the necessity os making jobs for more than 2,250,000 needy in 28 days if the government ex- poets to end the dole November 1.
 A total of 1,126,234 persons now are working. The administration must employ 3,600, 900 in all if di- rect relief is to cease on the date President Roosevelt promised.
 Daily employment must average about S5,50O between now and the mid autumn deadline. Congress made the money available last April 3, and the drive still is short of the one-third mark.
 Aides of Adimintsartor Harry L.. Hopkins insisted that "the pro- gram will be at least 90 per cent successful on November 1 when all the returns are in."
 They prepared, despite confident statements, However, to provide for able-bodied still jobless after that time. Outright relief grants will be made to states in which the pro- gram falls short.
 Of the 1,126,234 new jobs on government projects listed, the ad- ministration could count only 826.- 234, needy transferred from the dole to federal payrolls.
 The number of persons working ranged from high of 171,715 in New York city to 87 in all of South Dakota. The state-by-state com pilation included:
 Connecticut, 3,012; Maine, D. $48; New Hampshire, 2,179; Rhode Island, 2,1S0; Vermont, 3,190.

By CLIFFORD '. DAY

 London, Oct. 4-(UP) = The British cabinet is more firmly de- fermined than ever to cooperate with the League in all it's measures necessary to halt the Italo- Ethio- plan war, 1t was learned from an authoritative quarter today.
 A state which, on It's own admis- sion, repudiated its obligations, and, in the words of a source close 10 the government, launched an attack to conquer . weak, ill., equipped African people" must be restrained in the opinion of British statesmen.
 Popular feeling throughout the United Kingdom Is most sym pathetic toward the Ethiopians. Reports of the bombing of civilians and . Red Cross hospital frequent ly drew such comments as "Musso- lini is out-hunning the Huns"
 The public awaited with the keenest interest the announcement of British policy which many be- 1ieve Prime Minister Stanley Bald win will make tonight when he speaks before a conservative meet ing at Bournemouth.
 Italian concern over the prob- able stand of the British govern ment was indicated today when Dino Grandi, Italian ambassador here, requested. and was granted, an interview at the foreign office this afternoon with Foreign Secre- tary Sir Samuel Hoare. Grandi had previously informed Sir Robert Van

 Airplanes, he said, showered the , villagers with 30,000 manifestoes | in the Ethiopian Amharic lan- guage. He picked up one and gave 1t to this correspondent on hi rse- | turn to headquarters.
 It was announced that in some cases villagers placed their white shammas, robes, on rhe matched roofs of their homes as gesture of peace ot Italian aviators. Most of the population never had seen san airplane before. and 1t was reported that in one village the en- tire population fled to the hills when they heard the planes ap- preaching.
 There have been no reports Of damage. But 1t was learned that the "despcrate squadron" or Count Galeazzo Ciano, Benito Mus- solini's son-in-law, made the gov- crnor's palace in the center of Aduwa its target and it was indi- cated that damage was consider able.

 It was. the observation post of General Emilio De Bono, com mander in chief, and his general staff-a sand bagged and barbcd wire post on top of a mountain on the frontier, rising steeply 2.0O0 feet above the plain of Asamo.
 From there I heard plainly the heavy explosions of the bombs rained on Aduwa 35 miles away in a bowl of mountains. heard also the bombing outside Adigrat and l saw Ciano's bombers returning to their base, flying high above us, after dropping their cargoes of destruction.
 Tn the plain far below I could see rising clouds of dust from the tramping feet of the columns ad- vancing across the Belesa and the Mareb rivers.
 General De Bono arrived an hour before the takeoff with General Mclchiade Gabba, his chief of staff and other staff members, and paced up and do vim the darkness.
 Only a few blinking lights could be seen in the valley before us. The east gradually paled and the birds began singing. The infantry on a front of 40 miles. converging on Aduwa and Adigrat, crsosed the frontier and commenced their op- eration to wipe out the humilia- ton which Ital ysuffered when an army was slaughtered 30 years ago.

New York Ost 4-(UP)--Both- cred by rats, Mrs. Helen Schnier bought an eight-weeks' old kitten. The rats laughed. So Mrs. Schnier brought in workmen to seal up the rat holes behind the bath tub. Unfortunitely, the kitten had wan dered into the rats lairs before the workmen arrived, SO more workmen bored holes into the to liberate kitty. Smoked herring was placed before the holes. Kitty wouldn't budge and workmen were about to tear out the wall when Mrs. Schneir suggested they try chicken. Kitty responded.

New York, Oct 4-UP)-Fif- teen hundred policemen doing ex- tra duty kept the Italian Ethiopian war withing bounds today in Har- lem. A policeman and an Ethio- plan sympathizer were injured and another negro arrested before the peace was assured.
 Chief Inspector John J. Seery said disputes between negroes and Italians were so frequent and vio- lent that one-tenth of the entire police force of 1900 men would be maintained on overtime reserve duty.

 AS tho sun rose De Bono and his staff ranged themselves around q big table of maps in the open air We gathered round.
 It was all amusingly calm and deliberate and 1t was difficult tC realize that an invasion which was shaking the world was actually un. der way. There was no excitement simply a feeling of tension. General Gabba told us that the troops were moevd up to the from tier Thursday ready to cross at the bero hour.
 At 8:03 a. m. we heard the first thuds of the bombs at Adigrat, and then at 8:30, a series of heavy ex- plosions at Aduwa. This caused a futter of excitement.
 At 8:45 about two miles above us droned 12 Caproni bombing planes returning from the towns.
 It was difficult to get details of casualties or whether there was any resistance to the advance. Gabba tol dme that considerably more than 100000 men were in- volved in the present operation. composed of six divisions with auxiliary troops.
 Once across the frontier the ad- vance is made difficult by the suc- cessive waves of mountain ranges and the lack of modern roads.
 In all, 10000 men crossed the Mareb and the Belcsa on a front of 40 miles.
 It was reported all along the line that operations went well.
 One army corps reached Dongo- lio, 12 miles across the frontier to- ward Adigrat, only about four hours after the zero hour.
 Of the three army corps which arc conducting the operation on the northern front. the left corps Is advancing on the Senafe rond and the right column on the Mora vigna -Adiquali road while the cen- ter is half way between them.
 It was asserted that Italian afr planes dropped proclamations on Aduwa yesterday and then bombed the town in answer to anti-aircraft and artillery bombardment from the Ethiopians.

Lawrence Hamilton, 10, Drowned
While Swimming in Killen's Lake
Lawrence Hamilton, Is, of Har-
rington, was drowned on Tuesday
of last week while swimming in
Killen's mill pond near FELTON,.
Hamilton with another companion
had gone to the pond for swim.
After swimming for a short time
the boys started diving from a
diving board into about six feet of
water. Hamilton's companion said
that he saw him dive into the water
and appear twice above the surface
but when he failed to appear the
third time he became frightened
and returned to his home without
telling anyone of what had happen
ed. When Hamilton failed to re-
turn to his home a search for his
companion was started and the boy
revealed what had happened. The
boy took the searching party to
the pond and after dragging the
pond for a short time Hamilton's
body was recovered in six feet of
water. Coroner Smith of Kent
county made an investigation.

STATE CLOSES
A GOOD YEAR
Instead of a Deficit the Bal
anced Budget Shows a
Surplus i'm Reserve
DUE TO GOV. BUCK BILLS

Instead of the anticipated deficit
in the general fund of approx
mately S150,000 at the end of the
current fiscal year, June 80, the
state will not only have met all its
fiscal obligations but may be able
to show a surplus, according to the
announcement made last week by j.
Henry Hazel, State Auditor, in Do
yer. This will have been made
possible by economies put into eff
feet by the present administration
but more especially will be the re-
suit of legislation adopted at the
last session of the General Assem-
bly, on the recommendation of Gov
ernor c. Douglass Buck. In addi-
tion Mr.. Hazel said the state this
week will refund a loan of $780,
900 negotiated last Winter with the
Farmers Bank at Dover to tide
over an emergency created when
the general fund became depleted,
due to the decrease in revenues.

AIRCRAFT TO
LIFT 17O PEOPLE
Inventor Claims Many Ad.
vantages For Ship AS to
Air Resistance
TO CROSS IN Is HOURS

Berlin.-The disaster to the Unit
ed States navy's airship Macon has
revived speculation here as to the
ultimate worth of lighter-than-ai
craft and has thrown into sharp re-
lief the plans of a German inventor
for a 170-passenger heavier-than-
air flying boat designed to cross the
Atlantic from Hamburg to New
York in 16 TO IS hours.
The designer is Engineer E.
Rumpler, builder of the famous
Rumbler-Taube fighting planes Of
World war fame and of dozen
other types of plane.
Air Resistance is Feature.
The chief advantage claimed for
the RumbIer transoceanic plane Is
its lack of air resistance. Viewed
from the front, it is merely one
enormous wing mounted on two
pontoons, which taper back to the
tail-steering fin.
Equal load distribution Is the
second prime feature of the plane.
Engines-there are ten, each of
1000 horse-power-pas and
express are all inside the wing,
which Is high enough to accom-
modate man standing, and which
has a spread of 2S9 feet. The wing
Is Al feet from the front to rear.
Doctor Rumpler says he has
achieved decentralization. Instead
of cabin in the middle, with other
weights such as motors, fuel, pay
loads, as in the average plane,
which puts too much strain on the
wings, he has built a wing strong
enough to carry the entire load
equally distributed.
Interior Like Pullman Corridor.
The interior of the wing looks
like pullman corridor. 1t is d.
vided from end to end. On the
port side are passenger accommo-
dations much like those of q train,
with portfolios facing the direction
Of flight. Behind are the ten en-
gines, each with its own attendant
and operator independently, with
its own four-blade propeller.
The plane would cost $1,OOO,OOO.
The second and third would cost
approximately $SOO,OOO.
Such q plane could reach Homo
lulu from San Francisco In II
hours with a useful load Of 20
tons, and could conceivably push
on from there to Manila In %
hours. 1t also would be invaluable
to British interests as a link with
India and the colonies, fact which
recently has attracted a British syn
dicate to inquire about the patents.

The State realized a profit of sew
eral thousand dollars from the re-
cent sale of bonds and this was di-
verted to the general fund. There
will be added to this the revenue
from the mercantile tax which is
now being collected by the State
Tax Department instead of the
clerks of the peace as heretofore.
This change was authorized by act
of the Legislature at the recent
session. Under the new arrange
ment it is anticipated the tax will
be productive of much more money
than was derived under the former
plan. At the office of the State
Tax Department it was stated ap
proximately $4,000 has been paid
by merchants from all parts of the
State to date. The report of the
State Auditor for last year showed
the total revenue from the mer-
camille licenses was $108,000. How
ever, payments of the tax recently
have been unusually heavy, it was
stated at the tax Office, as those
who have to pay it were trying to
get in before the deadline on Sat
urday. After that date there will
be added a penalty of 5 per cent.
1t is anticipated the total pay
ments after last weeks rush was
over will have amounted to much
more than the total for last year.
The tax office was unable to draw
any comparisons due to the fact
this is the first year it has been col
Iecting this tax Another source
of revenue Mr.. Hazel is depending
on is that from the State Liquor
Commission Its returns for June
have not been made as yet and
cannot be computed until the end
of the month. After July 1, the
beginning of the fiscal year, Mr..
Hazel said, he will be able to bal
ance the records of the general
fund and he is confident, he said,
there will be surplus which will
take the state 'out of the red' and
make it one of the few in the coun-
try that is able to show a balanced
budget at the end of the fiscal year

NUISANCE OF AUTO HORNS
Many of Them Are Ear-Splitting
and Nerve-Shattering to Public

''Ear-Splitting, nerve-shattering
devices masquerading as automo-
bile horns are denounced by Lin
naeus l.. Hopes, Executive Secre-
tary of the Delaware Automobile
Association, A. M. A., in state
ment calling upon police to take
action toward abating this newest
and most obnoxious of highway
nuisances' His reference is to the
adoption by motorists of horns SIM
liar to the blasting apparatus"
used on interstate buses. 1T was
bad enough when only buses used
these fearful contrivances," he
said, "'but now that drivers of
pleasure cars-for unfathomable
reasons have added such horns to
their equipment the situation is one
that demands action by the author
tiles. There never was any excuse
for this equipment on buses, except
that it blasted right t-of-way for
the speeding juggernauts. On the
whole bus operators used their
horns sparingly, if at all, in cities,
thereby minimizing the nuisance.
Now. however, playboys can see
nothing amiss in blasting other
cars and pedestrians out of their
way in cities and towns thus TO-
cusing attention on the misuse of
an instrument originally designed
to prevent highway casualties. We
believe police have ample power
under the Vehicle Code to control
the nuisance. The law specifically
provides that sit shall be unlawful
-. for any person at any time to
use a horn otherwise than as a rea-
sonable warning or to make any
unnecessary or unreasonable loud
or harsh sound by means of a horn
or other warning device Only po-
lice and fire apparatus and ambu-
lances are permitted to use bell,
siren, compression or spargplug
whistles. The penalty for misuse
of warning devices is So to $25 fine
and costs, or not more than ten
days Imprisonment in default"
