WORK PLACEMENTS
DECREASE IN KENT
Caused By Cessation OF All Road
Work In County

During the past week a decrease
in the number of placements of ap-
plieants for work has been noted,
w. c. Paradee, of the Kent County
Unemployment Office, has announc-
ed. Some places, he explained, can
not be filled as there are no quali-
fed applications for the places to
be filed.
The fact that all road work is at
a standstill in Kent County is one
Of the reasons assigned by Mr..
Paradee for their failure to place
more applicants at work.
The only work at present being
supplied with laborers through the
local Office is the new CCC Camp
which is being constructed on the
site Of the former county home, west
of Wyoming.
Active files OF the local Office we're
reduced during the past week from
1882 to 1850, due largely to replace
ments and cancellations.
The Office expects to have re-
quest within the next few days for
salesladies who are experienced.
The Office is also unable to ill all
Of the requests for women to do
cooking and general housework.
These women in most cases could
live where they do the work.
There is also a shortage Of first
class carpenters who are good nm
ishers and anyone qualified 10 do
this work desiring employment
should register at once at Mr.. Para
dee's Office which Is located in the
basement of the court house.

chased On Previous Day

Of alcoholic liquors throughout Del
aware we're served notice by the Del
aware Liquor Commission last
Thursday that their licenses does
not allow them to sell, serve or dis
pense alcoholic liquors on Sundays,
HOLIDAYS or during the hours when
such safe is prohibited in taYerns,
tap rooms or liquor stores.
Heretofore clubs have been selling
to members on Sundays and Occas-
ionally at hours after midnight, ap-
parently through a misunderstand-
ing of the liquor control act.
The notice sent to all club licen-
sees declared that it is not legal to
make the actual sale ro purchase on
one day and then deliver the mer-
chandise to the member on a day
in which the sale is prohibited. The
commission stressed that no beer
can be drawn from the dispenser on
the days on which the sale is pro-
hibited, not even as a gift to mem
her of the club.
Locker License Explained
A locker license is only for the
of alcoholic liquor belonging
to each individual member. If the
member on the day in which the
sale is prohibited has alcoholic liq-
uOr stored in his locker he may |
drink it in the club but he cannot |
secure a new supply from the clubs
stock nor can be bring liquor in
from outside.
1t is permissible, however, if a
has a bottle of warm beer in |
his locker for him to exchange that
bottle of warm beer for a bottle OF
cold beer from the clubs stock. This
ioes not allow the serving of draft
beer, spirits or wine. When a mem
ber's supply is exhausted new sup
ply cannot be obtained during the
days and hours when the sale is il
legal. ]
A club with a license only for the
sale of alcoholic liquors for con- :
on the premises cannot
sell to a member for storage in the
members locker.

the fact that IS persons we're in

instead of hurrying home
at the last minute as is generally
the custom with holiday traffic.

HEADSL LIST
Tax Paid On Gasoline For
July Reflects Big In
crease In Consumption.

Increased sales in Delaware by
the automobile industry, which is
credited with pulling the nation out
of the earlier postwar depression in
1920, it is revealed in current fig
ures on gasoline taxes and on reg
istration of new cars.
Almost as many new cars were
registered n the first seven months
this year than IN the whole of 1894,
according to the motor vehicle de-
partment. At the same time, the
tax figures show that approximately
172,OOO more gallons of gasoline
were consumed last July than in the
same month of 1884.
The increase in revenue produced
by the increased gasoline cOnsump-
tiOn and by the extra cent-a-gallon
tax imposed at the last session Of
the legislature in connection with
the State assumption of county road
maintenance was $46.55O.5O.
The total revenue collected for
July from the gasoline tax of four
cents a gallon was s165. 1898. COM
pared with Sis, ,9Ss.7S collected from
the three cents a gallon tax in the
same month last year.
Tax On 4,l3S,4SO Gallons
These figures represent tax paid
on approximately Abs. .4SO gallons
last July compared with 3,966.290
gallons in July. 1884. Moreover. the
figures for last July may be sub
increased when final re-
ports are received. The figures for
one month are reported at the close
of the following month.
The same encouraging movement
is reflected in the registration fig
ures which show that there were
1854 pleasure cars and 951 trucks

most Of them of tender age, who
are either getting into or leaving
the vehicle. Superintendent Reynolds

the State Police will rigidly enforce
the laws against such reckless mo-
toring.
At school houses, care should al

CRUISE TAKEN
BY MILFORD BOY
Sailing Trip Over Three Week Per-
iOd included Races At LeWes

Felix Mick, Jr., has returned after
a three and a half week cruise in
lower Delaware Bay, Rehoboth Bay
and Indian River Bay. His little ship,
Eleanor ii behaved beautifully on
her initial trip into deep waters.
From the time she was christened
by Mrs. John H. Mulholland at the
MulhOlland pier on Haven Lake,
making a beautiful path of roses in
Ter wake as she sailed away from
the scene of her christening, up to
her departure from Milford on the
18th of August, her life was very
calm and tame. But when she en-
ccuntered rougher waters on the
bays she had her real test. She
braved all the squalls during the
entire cruise very staunchly until
she hastened to compete in the sail
boat races at Lewes and the terrific
"nor'easter" forced her to beach.
Even then she was the last one of
all to resign and not until announce
ments were made that the races
would have to be postponed did she
permit herself to be pulled up onto
the sands for safety. During the
first week of the cruise Felix was
the captain while his father and bro
ther Frank were first and second
mates. During the second week the
mates were replayed by two Pitts
burgh cousins. The last week Nor
man Bennett was the ships mate
with Felix still at the helm. The
boys report a most thrilling vaca-
tion and are already planning to
cruise more distant waters another
summer.
