Miss Bertha Adkins, Assistant Dean
of Women at Western Maryland Col
lege is to be in charge of the Col
lege Shop which opens at Benjamin

advise prospective college students

lege.
In appointing Miss Adkins, I. L.
Benjamin, states that he feels that
her services will be particularly val
liable to the mothers of girls enter
ing college for the first time this
year. Mr.. Benjamin points out that
it is not unusual for parents to be
confused as to the clothes and other
things needed by the college girl due
to we'll meant but not always accurate
suggestions from friends.
Miss Adkins position at Western
Maryland enables her to know from
actual experience exactly what every
girl needs when embarking on her
college career.
Benjamin's invites anybody inter-
ested to consult with Miss Adkins at
the store in Salisbury on or after
August 9th.

capped injury by leaping to the oppo-

The two men were tried before JUS

Not having the money, they were re-
manded to the county Jail. Detec-
tive Fitzgerald said the men were in

sleep intending to leave when train
approached.
A twelve-year old boy on the Cam

by driving spike between the rails,
leaving a part of the spike sticking
up. The train hit this, bounced up
ward but was lucky enough to come
down again squarely on the rails.
Otherwise the crew and passengers
would have been endangered.
After arresting the boy, John Girls

tioning him, he was released. He ad-
mitted driving the spike, but appar-
emily did not realize what might have
been the consequences of his prank.

CHIEF JUSTICES RULING

An act of the General Assembly
to regulate and license the clean
ing, pressing, and dyeing industry
of the State, Delaware's so-called
Little NRA", was declared uncon-
stitutional in an opinion handed
down last week IN Superior Court.
The ruling was made by Chief JUS
tice Layton and Judges Rodney
and Harrington in the case of Dor
othy Becker VS.. the State of Del
aware, in which the constitution
ality of the act was attacked. 1t
came before the Superior Court
when records of the case were
transmitted from Municipal Court,
where Miss Becker had previously
been fined for an alleged violation
of the act, to the higher court on
a writ of certiorari. "The act saw
ers of an attempt to establish the
ancient guild which, operating not
so much for the public benefit az
for the advantage of its members,
had become 200 years ago to be re-
garded as an unmitigated evil,
the opinion stated. Miss Becker
was arrested for failing to obtain
license from the trade board, set
up by the act, for the cleaning
pressing and dyeing establishment
she conducts for a chain store
company at 204 West Tenth Street
Wilmington. She was adjudged
guilty by Judge John F. Lynn in
Municipal Court, Wilmington, and
on December 8, last, was sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 and costs OF
prosecution. The opinion Wednes-
day reversed the decision of the
lower court. The case was moved

stitutionality of the act was at
tackled by Philip Cohen, counsel for
Miss Becker. Mr.. Cohen alleged
that the act delegated legislative
power to the trade board in viola
tion Of the constitution of De!a-
ware, which vests legislative -ow-
er in the General Assembly; taat
the act gives untrammeiIed ard a.
bitrary powers to the trade beard
in violation Of the constitution
which declares that no person
shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property unless by the judgment
of his peers or by the law of the
land" and that the act was in vio-
1ation of the fourteenth amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United States. The state moved
to strike out the exceptions, and
for affirmance of the judgment of
conviction, for the reason that the
questions raised in the higher
court were not presented to the
trial court.
