NEW STATECODE
GIVEN ASSEMBLY
TC0AiihRcd from First Padrl


h When adopted the code will be
simply a reference book for under
the specifications Of one OF the bills
providing for its adoption the courts
will be authorized when necessary
to refer to laws on the statute books
before the code was adopted and il
will not repeal or ullify any Of the
acts now in existence.
Under the arrangements for its
adoption as agreed to by attorneys
It will not be necessary to read the
code which, had this been done,
would have required from two to
three weeks. The original commits
sion named in 1881 to compile the
code consisted Of Julian c. Walker
of Wilmington; James L. WOlcott.
Dover, and Daniel ]. Layton, George
town. Since that time Mr.. Layton
was elected Attorney General and
later appointed Chief Justice where
upon he retired from the commits
sion and his place was never filled
so that the compilation was COM
pleted by Mr.. WolcOtt and Mr.. Wal
ker.
The commissions report stresses
that every effort was made to pre-
sent the living law contained in the
1915 code and in the statutes passed
to the adoption of that
article. It is pointed out that as
nearly as possible the commission
followed the general scheme and
plan Of the 1915 code, and in the
main the chapter numbers have been
retained. The 1915 code contained
1856 chapters whereas the proposed
lew code has 1SO chapters.
The Legislature provided 100000
o defray the cost of the code, $685.
700 four years ago when the COM
mission was created and $4,000 adj
litional two years ago. OF this sum
he commission reported an unex-
lended balance of S1,79S.5O. so that
he compilation has cost the State,

Of large naval construction. Il may
repeat its success at the Washing
ton Conference of 1921 and 1922.
Confronted by Japanese Imperial

the United States after 1916 began
to engage in Naval competition with
Japan. The financial burden proved
so heavy TO the latter country. that
she accepted the 5-5-3 ratio az WASH
ington. Today, official opinion seems
to be that the UHited States by out
building Japan, can again force her
to terms.
A number OF students do not be-
lieve, however, that conditions to-
day are the same as In 1918. They
fear that unlimited. competition be-
tween the United States and Japan
might end in war. On the other
hand. some contend that however
much the United States may disap-
prove of Japanese expansion in the
Far East, or increasing the Ameri-
can Navy, it viii not oppose Japan
by force unless Japanese forces kill
Americans in the Far East or seize
the Philippines.

Japan's denunciation of the Wash

SUGGESTIONS
By ANN PAGE

oJ tA1N y NANE
AMEAT prices, with the exception
AVA Of beef. have eased slightly IN
the past week. Eggs too. are a little
cheaper: but there is no prospect Of
lower butter prices. Imported New
Zealand butter may prevent native
butter from going higher.
Potatoes are the outstanding food
value this week Cheap potatoes are
boon to the low food budget for
they are nourishing and satisfying.
Other root vegetables. cabbage and
lettuce are the next best fresh vege-
table taiues.
Good grapefruit continues TO be
cheap. The first Florida Valencia
oranges are coming to market, but
they will be less plentiful than an
ticipated because of the December
freeze. Several varieties Of apples are
Inexpensive. Strawberries are fairly
plentiful and moderate in price.
Here are three menu suggestions
which are timely and suited to three
budget levels: ....
Low Cost Dinner
Lamb Pie with Biscuit Crust
Potatoes Carrots Onionp
Bread and Butter
Rice custard with Raisins
Tea or Coffee Milk
Medium Cost Dinner
Roast Beef Pan-browned Potatoes

JUDGE OVERRULES
EMPLOYMENT SUIT
Nurse Who Argued Own
Case in Court Loses Action
= to Force Job.

Justice Jennings Bailey OF District
Supreme Court yesterday overruled the
demand of Miss Helen Cage, unem-
ployed nurse, of TIT Third street, that
Commissioner George E. Allen and
Federal Relief Administrator Harry l..
HOPKINS be ordered to restore her TO
the relief rolls.
Miss Cage contended in person be-
fore the court last week the two
officials were charged by Congress to
give relief to all in need and had no
discretion in the matter. She pre-
pared her suit and argument by poring
through legal tones in the Congress
sional Library, since she was without
funds to pay a lawyer.
Representing Allen and Hopkins,
Assistant Corporation Counsel Vernon
West told the court Miss Cage had
been offered a job and refused it, and
before that had received a weekly
allowance of $3.50 for food and lodg-
ing. He denied relief officials are
under any compulsion to grant aid to
q particular individual.
There Is no showing that the de-
PENDANTS, or either of them, have
failed to perform any PLAIN ministerial
act which can be controlled by man
damus, but the acts complained of
are, in my opinion, within their dis
cretion," Justice Bailey stated in his
opinion.

the barrel Of a short, heavy automatic
pistol. He lifted one eyebrow and let
his gaze follow up the arm and fasten
squarely upon the grim face Of the

"YOUR business, senor?" he was
questioned. 1T is OF q GER

preston Of distaste fitted across
Ortega's face as the hands roughly
searched his person.
"Is this" he demanded courteously
quite necessary? You appreciate,
my friend, that I have an engage
ment with lady that Is of the prime
importance" He motioned with the
flowers in his hand. You under
stand that delay would be dis
tasteful?"
The officer smiled. "Si, I, too, am
careful in such matters! But there
are spies about as thick as flies. You
might have been one of them"
The corners Of Senor Ortegas
mouth lifted, revealing his strong
white teeth. "I am certain that you
will find" he indicated his wallet in
the soldiers hand, 'that I am more
than indebted to the Nacionales!"
The officer quickly glanced through
the wallet and handed it back to

notes had not escaped his notice. He

Ordinarily he would have driven in
his automobile, OF American make,
but these revolutions-one found 1t
hard to live like a gentleman these days!
Silence lay as heavy as the heat
along the deserted streets. The hring
and shouting of the morning when
the rebels had stubbornly resisted In
their retreat along the plaza, had
ceased with the time for the siesta,
and had not yet been resumed.
All that remained of the furious
fighting was the broken glass and
Clipped masonry lying along the walk.
and a dark, huddled figure here and
there lying as though in exhausted sleep!
Senior Ortega shrugged distaste-
fully and carefully avoided these
obstructions to progress. AS he ar
rived at the square, where the rallied
platform still stood, festooned with
gay streamers from last nights band

cionales, the government soldiers, had
thrown q barricade across the entire
square, which in reality was not a

barefooted soldier in the gray
Macdonald uniform leveled his bay
oneted rifle at Senor Ortega's breast
and impassively waited for him to
turn and go back. Senor Ortega hesi-
tated, looking across the square.
The sergeant of the guard saun-
tered up. taking in with a glance the
well-tailored, expensive clothing, the
bouquet, the calm air of the gentleman.
Evidently he was a person of con-
sequence.
"A thousand pardons, senior, but it

barricade," he saluted. Ortega ac-
knowledged the salute with a slight
bow.
But, Senior Captain" he protested.
tactfully elevating the soldiers rank,
"there is no danger at present. And
It is not wise to keep lady waiting!"
The sergeant looked at the flowers
again, thoughfully.
Senor Ortega's hand ratified slightly
some coins in his pocket. Perhaps"
he suggested, "you will at least per-
nit me to offer drink, or possibly
two, to the gallant soldiers who are
protecting my interests?" He trans
ferred golden coin from his hand
