OIL SPOHS LEWES BATHING
Beach, Sea Covered With Scum
Traced to Inflated Mohawk

Hundreds of visitors in Lewes,
July 4, were prevented from enjoy
ing a dip in the ocean by a thick
coating of crude oil that covered
the beach and the sea out to a dis
tance of about a mile and half.
The oil made its appearance July
3 when several bathers were so
coated with the oil that it required
gasoline to remove the oil. 1t is
believed the oil is part of the cargo
of the Inflated Mohawk which
burned recently off the New Jersey
coast and where an attempt is be-
ing made to salvage the oil The
current and easterly wind Of the
past few days is believed to have
carried the oil to that section.
Fishing boats and pleasure craft in
the bay are all coated with the oil.

OFFICIALS PAY
is TAX FREE
Court Rules Official Salaries
Protected by State COnsti-
tuition From Levies
ORDERS REFUND OF SUMS

Judges of the Superior Court of
New Castle County have handed
down a ruling in which they de-
clared in effect that salaries of
public officers are not subject to
state income tax although each
member of the court has been pay
ing the tax in respect of his salary
in regular course" The ruling was
made by Chief Justice Layton and
Judges Richards and Reinhardt on
the appeal taken by Attorney Cen
eral P Warren Green from the de-
cision of the State Tax Board dis
allowing his claim for a refund of
the tax computed upon his official
salaries as Chief Deputy Attorney
General and as Attorney General.
Mr.. Green's contention was based
on a clause in the state constitu-
tion providing that mo law shall
extend the term of any public Off
Ger, or diminish his emoluments
after his election or appointment. +"
The State Tax Commissioner is di-
rected to refund to him the
amount of the tax wrongfully
computed and exacted upon his Of
fetal salaries for the year 1885"
State Tax Department officials said
they did not know whether an ap-
peal would be taken to the Su-
preme Court, pending the return of
Mr.. DUPONT. ''The question is not
the right of the Legislature defin-
itely to fix the compensations to be
received by public officers thereaf-
ter appointed, but what were the
salaries established by law when
the appellant assumed his Office, .
the opinion states. 1T is those
salaries, then definitely fixed, which
come within the protection of the
constitutional provision The
court then points out that prior to
January and July, 1888. when Mr..
Green assumed his duties, the Leg
islature, fulfilling its implied con-
stitutional duty, decreed his salar-
les at $4,000 annually for Chief
Deputy Attorney General and &c.
900 for Attorney General, "and he
was entitled to receive those
amounts, or the proportional parts
thereof, without abatement or re-
duction. 1t matters not in what
way the reduction of compensation
may have been attempted. or
whether before or after the estab-
lishment of the compensations; for,
if the assumption of Office ante
dates the taxing act, the salary is
immune, and if the salary is estab-
lished after the taxing act, it is
that salary which is protected" the
court said. The taxing act may
not be construed as amendment to
the act fixing the compensation"

on a visit to Kenmore. N Y, where
her great-niece Miss Ida Gertrude

dent. Miss Gottsch was class poet

poem written and read by her at

THE TEMPLE
Three hundred years
Our school has risen,
Stone on stone.
Many hands
Have guided its creation,
Smoothed the stone,
And shaped each architrave and
vault.
Many minds
Conceived its plan
And strengthened its foundation.
Many hearts
Burned with the fires of sacrifice
And carried on the work of those
before.
We, with the past
Resplendent at our backs,
Move on
And add a stone or two;
Building for future generations.
We dedicate
Our minds, our hands, our hearts,
To swell the offering the past has
made.
We proffer thanks
To those who guide US on
Into the future;
And we pray
Our work will raise a structure
Still more finished, and the light
Of knowledge shine,
A beacon, thru the years.

EGGS AND MILK
STUFF
Chemists Announce a Cheap
er Material For House
Construction
INSPIRED BY DISCOVERY

New York-Even eggs and milk
may enter the making of new con-
struction materials in a building
boom predicted by famous chemists
at the opening session of the Amer
ican Chemical society's tercentenary
celebration.
A boom in the building industry
inspired by discoveries of chemists,
many of them made during the de-
preston, was forecast by Prof.
James II. Withrow of Ohio State
university. This inspiration in
cludes better and cheaper materials,
he said. than even these provided
by nature.
New mineral woods were listed as
promising heat and cold insulation
at low cost. Electric wires will have
thinner insulation, both safer and
requiring much less space for wir-
ing.
Artificial stones are already made
in every color and with any degree
of hardness a customer desires.
New Clues smell no better, but bugs
of various sorts no longer eat them.
Lightweight Bricks.
Bricks that partake of the light
ness of thistledown. andtpther light
weight construction materials prom
ise much higher, yet even safer
skyscrapers.
F. Lee Smith, chief architect Of
the technical division of the FEEDER
al Housing administration. said:
I'm addition to the basic building
materials, we might add practically
all the known substances, both or
ganic and inorganic In character.
Even milk, eggs and other food
products can be included in this
list, although the connection ap-
pears to be rather remote. Resins,
oils, gases and vegetable fibers have
a place in the construction of build
ings."
DR.. Walter J. Podbielniak, Chica-
go chemist, told the scientists of
his new separating device, which,
he said. would make 1t possible to
buy the rarest perfumes at penny
prices. eliminate the hangover In
whisky and instantly age liquors.
He called his invention a super
contactor'' and explained that 1t
will separate the tiniest impurity
from any liquid.
As to the Hangover.
The hangover" according to Doc
tor Podbielniak, is caused by the
presence of certain impurities al
ways found in new" whisky. They
are partly removed by aging from
four to eight years In charred oak
barrels, but are completely removed
by the new whirling machine.
In another report, c. f. Schnabel
of Kansas City declared that eating
cereal grass is better than eating
carrots, spinach, lettuce or a dozen
other well-known vegetable green's.
He said the great food value of
grass had remained unknown be-
cause previous tests were made
when the grass was too old. Old
grass, he said, loses two-thirds of
its protein food values.
He tested young cereal grasses
such as oats, wheat, barley and rye,
cutting them before they formed
their first joints. He said that one
pound of this grass contained as
much vitamin and greens" value as
80 pounds of lettuce.
By Schnabels method the grass
Is dried and ground. He said that
1t may be used in baking cookies,
pancakes and chocolate candy with
good results on the flavor.

Udder of Dead CO,v Ciues Milk
With Aid of Mechanical Heart

The arms are parallel but jut out from
the disc at different levels. As the
disc revolves, propelled by an electric
motor, the arms press rubber tubes
through which the blood lows
This gives the same pulsating effect
as the heart In a living body, Dr.
Petersen said. At first, efforts were
made to keep the udder alive merely
with the mechanical heart, but the
attempts were unsuccessful because
the blood deteriorated from lack of
oxygen.
DR.. Petersen then added a lung
taken from q freshly slaughtered COW
It was inflated and Debated by an au-
tomato air hose. Before the lung was
used the blood returning from the I'd
der would he almost black, he said.
When it was circulated through the
lung It came out O normal color.
To keep 1t at body temperature the
blood Is passed through a glass coil
immersed IN warm water. Thirteen
pounds of blood are used.
His work also disclosed, the scientist
said, that the fat content of milk is
secreted in the udder independent of
other milk ingredients.

AT least this is what they will do if

Mussolini's Gen. GRAHAM, handling

out of reach of drinking water in the

Graziani started out on the short
route to cut the railroad above Harar.
A very prominent military authority
has said that he will never reach the
railroad, even If he never encounters

gerated view. but his difficulties are
thought to be even greater than De
Bono's, In view of his smaller force
and the water as well as the food
problem.
What interests military men most
Is the report that MIssolinl is having
trouble getting food for his army. He
is supposed to be buying beef from
two British colonies in South Africa
and paying double prices for all he can
get. Even so, they say, he receives
more shanks and horns than steaks.

soon be ox-tail soup, an edible dish,
but not much for an army to crawl on.

the States evidence that he attacked

speedily overruled a final effort to
free zenge by a directed verdict Of
acquittal.
Defense Attorney Joseph Green
made It on the ground that the State
had failed to show where the emascu-
