WELFARE
HOME REPORT.
149 Admissions to Institution
at Smyrna During the
Year
20 PER CENT MARRIED

Less than 20 per cent of the 149
admissions to the State Welfare
Home at Smyrna last year were
married men and women. The
greater percentage of the non-mar
ried guests admitted last year
were widowed, and the next large
percentage were men and women
who had never married. Only 19.46
of the admissions were married.
The division of the others were:
30.2 per cent single; 1898 per cent
widowed; 2.86 per cent, divorced,
and 8.72 per cent, separated. This
is but part of the human story told
in the wealth of statistics compiled
for the past ear for the welfare
home. Out of those figures show
ing the background of the 149
men and women who were admit
ted to the home in 1885, emerges
an interesting composite picture of
the average" person admitted to
the home last year. Because 100
men and only 49 women were ad-
mitted to the home, the composite
picture of the average admission
is man. He came from the rural
district of the state, a native Della
warean with English background
and his parents We're Delaware
born. He is from 65 to SO years
old The average guest admitted
last year applied for admission
because of indigency brought
about by chronic physical illness.
He had common school education
and later in life became a common
laborer. In religion, he was a Pro-
testant but belonged to no particu-
lar church. His habits were good
and he is an abstainer from liq-
uors. English background pre-
dominated the admissions by 349
percent. Negroes came next with
1886 per cent of the admissions.
The Negroes were mostly women.
Only 6.O4 per cent of the 149 ad-
mitted last year had a high school
education, contrasted to the 22.82
per cent who had no education at
all; GIL per cent who could only
read, and 1879 per cent who could
just read and write. The major
ity of the admissions gave as their
occupations common laborers and
1911 per cent skilled laborers and
Al per cent semi-skilled laborers.
Of the 149 persons admitted to
the home last year, 57.72 per cent
came from rural districts and A.
% from urban surroundings.
Chronic physical illness was re
sponsible for admission of 55.77
per cent; senility, 1886 per cent.
In age, 1879 per cent were from
65 to SO years and 13.42 per cent
from 10 to IA years. Men and
women from 80 years upward were
only ct per cent of last years ad-
missions.
Not Necessarily For Aged
That the home is not necessarily
a home for aged is shown by the
figures of 1.34 per cent from 40 to
"A years; 2.01 per cent from 35 to
80 years; 1.34 per cent from 80 to

on Monday on a charge of selling
liquor without a license. 1t is al
legged that he sold liquor to Rov
Hartman who figured in the fatal
accident listed above and who is
being held on a charge of man
slaughter. After hearing the evi-
dence presented Judge Wiley held
Warren under five hundred dollars
bail for the Court of General ses-
sions on the liquor selling charge.
Leon Handy. who resides near
Magnolia, faced several charges
when brought before the Court on

charged with trespass, making
threats and disorderly conduct
Judge Wiley imposed a fine of five
dollars IN each case and ordered
Handy to furnish a peace bond. In
default of the payments, Handy
was sentenced to thirty days in the
Kent county jail. Kelly Taylor.
of Milford, was brought before the
court on Monday by State Detec-
tive D. D. Wharton charged with

on and pointing a pistol. Judge

Pleas during the coming week are

ing in and out with wagon which
was used in hauling manure to the
field.
The blossoms of the different
kinds of fruit trees, starting with
the peach. followed by the cherry,
the pear and the apple, the latter
usually two or three weeks after
the first named, all came out to-
gether this year, or separated only
by day or two. 1t could hardly
have been otherwise with Summer
temperature of from rs to 80 de-
grees for a week. Our people do
not remember such a continued
spell of weather for April.
H. P. HAZEL has bought, through
the agency of E. H. Beck a build
ing lot on Methodist Street adj
joining the residence of H. r.
Mustard, 80 by 1S4 feet, for $500.
He intends to erect himself a new
house we hear the coming Sum-
mer. Joseph Stephenson has also
bought a lot corner of North and
Union Streets, 38 by 100 feet for
S125, and E. H. Beck, has bought
the new residence of Preston Gra-
ham corner of Methodist and Pearl
Streets, terms private.
Shad have been so abundant the
past two weeks as to pass from
the relative condition of a luxury
to that of common food, but while
so cheap here, six to seven cents
per pound or from forty cents to
fifty cents pair, our prices have
been considerable above those of
Easton, st. Michaels and other
Chesapeake towns, where they
were retailed at from twenty to
cents per pair. But
then there was this difference, and
with most of people a difference of
some moment-ours are Delaware
shad.
Gunners should be careful where
and how they shoot. On Saturday
a boy was fishing on the banks of
the millpond, when simultaneous
with the report of a gun he felt
stinging sensation in the ball of
his thumb which was grasping the
rod. Upon investigating the mat
ter he found that the thumb had
been wounded by shot from the
gun. No gunner was visible nor
did he see by whom the shot was
fired. By the way, what are per-
sons cunning at this time of the
year at all for? If for birds other
than snipe, it is unlawful as well
as cruel, as this is the nesting sea-
son, and all such persons should be
informed on and punished.
The statement last week in ref
erence to the connection of George
F. Brown with peach tree case of
]. H. Ostrander was incorrect he
says as the posters being sent by
Hopes, Bro. & Thomas notifying
the people that he was not their
agent, which they also say. Mr..
Brown says he sold the trees only
as the agent of Mr.. Ostrander in
good faith believing them to be
what good faith believing them to
be what they were represented,
and no one was more surprised
than he was to know that Mr.. Os-
trander was not dealing honestly;
that his attention was first at
tracted to Mr.. Ostrander by see
ing his advertisement in the Elk
ton Democrat, which place was his
recognized home.

CITY TO FORM
BOYS CLUB

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. Is.
Professional advice will be given
a committee working for the
permanent organization of a local
boys club when Alexander Camp
bell, Of New York, director Of the
Boys Club Association Of Ameri-
ca, meets with a group in the
George Mason Hotel here tomor-
row evening.
Representatives of nearly every
civic and fraternal organization
in Alexandria are expected to at
tend the meeting called by Roger
C. Sullivan, chairman of the COM
mittee named to consider means
of accepting an offer extended
the city by DR.. and Mrs. Robert
S. Barrett.
Contribution of a modern Struc-
ture to serve as a boys club, and
a lot sufficiently large for play
ground facilities was offered by
the Barretts on condition that the
city formulate a plan to guarantee
operation of the club for the first
five years. After this time, the
Barretts believe, interest in the
club will prompt renewal of what
ever plan is worked out.

REPORT MADE
0NB0UNDARY

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 15.-Gov.
George C. Peery today transmit
ted to the House of Delegates the
report Of the commission created
by the National Congress to de-
termine the boundary line be-
tween the District Of Columbia
and Virginia.
The commission decided, be:
cause OF the Federal development
from Washington to Mount Yer
non, to ask the Virginia General
Assembly to allow the United.
States to take jurisdiction over 10
acres of land in the disputed area.
The Federal Government sought
jurisdiction over what is known
as the Reaches Run tract, south
of the Highway Bridge. Virginia
disputed this claim and, the COM
mission reported, showed continu-
Gus Jurisdiction, both by police
and by taxation, over the area.
Although the commission clearly
upheld the Virginia contentious,
it is not expected the general as
sembly will balk at ceding the
70-acre tract to the Federal Gov
eminent.
