Rain SKATERS
DROUGHT IN
some SECTIONS
Several Parts OF State
Still In Need Of Rain;
Inch Fell Here.
CROPS STILL SUFFER

A heavy rainstOrm, driven by a
sharp wind and accompanied by
cracking lightning, swept over most
of Delaware last Thursday night,
boosting hope that the States month
long drought would be broken en-
tirely.
But as the storm moved south
ward over thirsting crops, the
clouds grew stingy, and several
points in the lower part of the
State reported only light rainfall
Some sections received showers on
Friday and Saturday last.
At Dover, rain described by farm
ers as "a good, helpful rain" fell for
40 minutes. Milford reported good
rain, according to the local wealth
erman, C. J. Holzmueller, one inch
of rainfall was recorded over the
weekend in Milford. Bridgeville re-
ceived only a slight shower, and
light rain fell at Georgetown. The
heaviest rainfall was reported to
have fallen I'm the eastern section OF
the State.
Although the storm was brief, and
light in many suffering sections, 1t
is expected the rain will be helpful
to many potato paintings, and will
assist in steadying potato prices,
which have been climbing to dizzy
heights lately.
Danger of a rise in the price OF
milk in Delaware is believed to have
been reduced. Pastures had been
burning up" threatening a short
age of feed for dairy stock.
In some sections of Sussex coun-
ty, however, little rainfall was re-
ported and crops. especially string
beans and early tomatoes are in a
serious condition. Corn as yet has
not been seriously hurt.

sponsible, according to the Delaware
State Board of Health, are all con-
tracted through the bite of infected
insects, or by crushing the insects
and absorbing the infectious mate
rails into the system through q
break or scratch in the skin, or by
getting the material on the hands

Harold G. Hoffman will be almost a
combination judge and counsel for
Bruno Richard Hauptmann before
a special session of the State Court
of Pardons next month, his course
indicated today.
Already determined to cast his
vote again for clemency, Gov. Hoff-
man apparently plans to throw all
his influence into an attempt to
win a majority of the eight-man
court to his point of view.
The Governor had not decided to-
day what arguments he will use in
the court meeting. He determined
only over the Weekend, it was said,
to summon the court to reconsider
Hauptmann'S case. He hopes the
private investigation he has been
conducting for five months will
yield sufficient evidence to save the
Bronx carpenter from the electric
chair.

End Bad Cough
Quickly, at One
Fourth the Cost
Home-Mixedi No Cookingl Easyl

Millions of housewives have found
that, by mixing their own cough medi-
cine, they get a much more effective
remedy. They use recipe which costs
only one-fourth as much as ready-made
medicine, but which really has no equal
for breaking up distressing coughs.
From any druggist, get 2h ounces
of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle.
and add granulated sugar syrup to fill
up the pint. The syrup is easily made
with 2 cups sugar and one cup water,
stirred few moments until dissolved.
No cooking needed. It's no trouble at
all, and makes the most effective rem
edy that money could buy. Keeps per-
fectly, and children love its taste.
Its quick action in loosening the
phlegm, helping clear the air passages,
and soothing away the irritation, has
caused it to be used IN more homes
than any other cough remedy.
Pinex is concentrated compound
of Norway Pine, famous for it's sooth-
ing effect on throat membranes. Money

DIERDORF CASE
STILL MYSTERY
IN TERRE HAUTE
Identity of Girls Slayer Is
UnSoIved Seven Years
After Crime.

Times Special
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 81
Seven years after the mysterious
kidnapping and Staying of Edith Mae
Dierdorf, i1-year-old paper carrier,
the identity of her attacker today
remained unsolved.
Edith Mae disappeared after fin
ishing her regular Sunday paper
route the morning of Jan. q, 1929.
Her body was found in a clunlp of
bushes in the Busseron Creek bed
near here week later.
The little girl was the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Dierdorf, West
Terre Haute.
Attended Sunday School
She attended Sunday school on
the morning of her disappearance
and then started out on her paper
route. Her little sisters and BROTH
erS were the last members of the
family to see her alive.
They were riding a west-bound
street car, en- route home, when
Edith Mae signaled to them from
the street that she was going to the
east edge of town to deliver one
more paper before starting home.
She never returned.
No Definite Clews
During the search, which expand
ed into nationwide proportions,
several meager reports were made to
local police by persons who believed
they had seen the child and her alb
ductor, but none led to definite
cleWS.
The first tangible development
was the finding of her blood stained

newspaper bag near Busseron Greek,
"a miles south of Terre Haute. An

fruitless.
Later the body was found in the
Busseron Creek bottoms by MINI
rod Slavens, superintendent of
Pleasantville schools. The child's
feet were tied and two handker-
chiefs were in her mouth.
Slavens was given $1,000 reward
for finding the body. A $4,000 re-
ward for capture of the murderer
was distributed among donors four
years ago.
