Sussex Total Is 26,75O
The total registration in Sussex
county for the five days is 26,75O, of

ed Saturday. These figures compare
with the total vote of 23,25O polled at
the last presidential election, maxi

William J. Swain, chairman of
the Sussex County Republican Com
mittee. said Republicans have got
their full strength on the books but
he was unable to compare the par
tvs strength as represented by the
registration figures because of the |
party split. He did say, however, the
total figures are above normal for
the county.

reference to the insect situation,
DR.. L. A. Stearns, entomologist at
the Delaware experiment station,
reports that codling moth injury
was first observed in orchards on
May %, as compared with June 6
of last year. Approximately 90
percent of the spring brood of
moths have not emerged, with the
maximum activity occurring on
the nights of May IS, "a, and 25,
according to bait pan records.
Since conditions are more favor
able this season for codling moth
attack, fruit growers should make
a special effort to secure a thor
ough coverage on their apple trees
at this particular period. DR..
Stearns reports also that the first
brood of peach curculio grubs is
now mature, and infested drops
should be picked up and destroyed.
The first brood of Oriental fruit
moth larvae which infest peach
twigs are now practically full
grown, and injury is regarded as
about normal. The next cover
spray for peaches, using the wet
table sulphur, will be recommended
during the third week in June.

Honor John Bassett Moore

Smyrna Board of Education
in looking around for a dis
tinguished native citizen for
naming our school after, feel
there was no one who had
such a distinguished career
nationally and internationally
than the Hon. John Bassett
Moore, one of the leading
authorities on international
law. They therefore decided
to change the name of the
Smyrna High School to the
John Bassett Moore High
School of Smyrna. 1t was a
compliment not only to Judge
Moore but an honor that
Smyrna was proud to bestow.
With plans completed the re
dedication will take place in
Smyrna next Wednesday.
And the gratifying part of it
all Judge Moore will be here
in person to play his part in
the rededication and renew
his acquaintance with the
older residents of Smyrna
who remember him and his
parents when they resided in
the house now owned and oc-
cupied by Mrs. Margaret
Wilds Grimm on Main Street.
AS the Journal-Every Even
ing says: 1T was a happy
thought which prompted the
people of Mr.. Moore's birth
place (Smyrna) to inscribe
his name on their most hand
some building. They have
done honor to him as he has
done honor to them in his rise
to the high place which he oc-
cupies today in world regard.
Since he was born in Smyrna
on December 8, 1860, he has
climbed high on the ladder of
fame and the people of that
little Kent County town well
may be proud of him and his
many achievements"

N7AsHINGTON, March 25-No military observer
w believes that German occupation of the
Rhineland is a step toward an assault on France
All the military power of Germany hurled against
the concrete and steel defenses along that line could
not make dent.
Even during the World War with a vast military
superiority, Germany dared not do that. She OUT
thanked that line by violating Belgium When she
finally struck portions of it at Verdun and Nancy.
she failed
Not only is that line much stronger today but all
prepared defenses are so much stronger against any
open assault that such line may at last be called
impregnabe.
In that fact alone lies the secret of this whole
upheaval. With a demilitarzed Rhineland Ger
many has no such defenses against France Her very
next step will be to create and-using the wet
ditch" of the Rhne-she can make herself mpreg-
nabe against France with no more than 20 or 80
divisions
IF, and when, that happens, the present military
situation in Europe will be revolutionized AS it
is Germany is military menace to no middle
European nation because of her fear of France be-
You'd defenseless frontier With her French FROM
tier impregnable Germany is instantly the domi-
nant military power
Russia marshals imposing man-power figures,
but she has no industries and so can not maintain
modern war. None of the smaller countries COM
pares with potential German power. This is why the
present crisis is so important to the future in Europe

The Ohio State championship
event will start in Cleveland April
%, and continue through the
week.
In providing these champion
ship tournaments throughout the
country, the American Bridge
League has done a great deal to
promote and develop the game of
duplicate bridge. These contests
are open to the public. Betting
and cash prizes are prohibited.
All are purely amateur contests.
The defensive suit directing
signal is coming into use more
and more every day. Here is a
very interesting variation of this
play that came up recently in
duplicate game:
South's opening lead was the
king of diamonds. East had bid
hearts and spades; therefore,
North figured that East held five
hearts. This meant that South
could not have more than two.
North therefore elected to use
the suit-directing discard, asking
for heart shift by playing the
queen of diamonds. South shifted
to heart. which North won with
the ace. North Immediately re-
turned heart.
Now, on the first trump play,
North won with the ace, and gave
his partner a heart ruff, thereby
defeating the contract.

be the same as this year-around
$3,OOO,OOO,OOo.
The process of arriving at this
figure is complicated, involving a
half-billion dollar discrepancy be-
tween the figures sent to Congress
by Roosevelt and those issued by
the Treasury on the same day.
In his relief message, the Presi-
dent said: During the current
fiscal year, the cost of relief ac-
tually paid out of the Treasury
will amount to approximately So
5O0,OOO,0O0."
However, the Treasury's daily
statement of that day showed
total Relief and Recovery" ex-
penditure to date of 1924, 100000;
also that relief expenditures aver
age $l60,000,000 monthly.
On the Treasury's own figures
this would put the total relief ex-
penditures on July l at 1884 ,0G0,-
00O-instead of $500, 100000, as
outlined by the President-giving
him an unannounced $500,OO0,O 600
balance with which to enter the
coming fiscal year.

soon as they are a little stronger
on their feet.
You would be surprised to note
the ingenuity they develop when
left to their own devices, as they
are a good part of the time, with
a careful watch to see that they
don't get into trouble.
They learned by themselves to
pick up their little chairs, and
climb up and stand on them. A
three-foot door between two parts
of the nursery had to be made
higher because the girls learned to
crawl over it.
In climbing out of their beds,
they used to fall sometimes, but
now they have learned to let them
selves down and drop from the
edge.
THEY also learned a little trick
Il of sliding under the beds and
then scuttling along under them
as a sort of game. Several light
plugs and switches had to be
moved because the babies grew
too expert at swapping the
switches and pulling out the
plugs.
The way they learned to beat on
the windows with toys and blocks
is well known, as is the fact that
we had to install automobile non
shatter glass.
Now all this is educational. So
are the little toys of the kind
where the child puts together
blocks and pieces of wood of diff
ferent shapes, SO designed that
they wifi fit if rightly placed.
The business of not putting
round plugs in square holes is
something lots of people never
learn. The quins are pretty good
at it already.
AS the little girls begin to think
and have pronounced opinions,
what they want and what they
think will have to be given more
and more weight. Wise parents
of today, or others charged with
rearing of children, give due con-
sideration to their thoughts and
wishes.
Today the aim is to direct the
child, not to order it. Parents are

pARIS, March 25.-In the last five

ships in operation, and the experience con-
firms my belief that the death of Huey
Long removed terrible menace to the lib

high powered but I have been seeing some grim
escaped.
1t is alarming to realize that a majority of the
people of Louisiana regarded Huey their friend
and were not only willing but eager to sign over
their citizenship to him.
That was not so shocking when it happened in
Italy, Germany and Austria, because those

Making the Suckers Lduoh

HUEY used to boast of the mileage of paved roads
l. and the bridges which he had built and of the
grandeur of his state Capitol and the build
ngs OF the state university But Mussoni and Hitler
also boast OF their roads and bridges and their rail-
road stations and model tenements But the state
capitol OF Louisiana had ceased to be Legislature
and the university like Heidelberg and Munich was
no longer free.
Huey lynched freedom in the university when he
kicked out OF school half dozen students of jour-
nallsm for critcising him in print, and his uni
VerSlty president was promising candidate for the
Office OF director of education under the national
dictatorship He also had clergyman lined up for
the job of national bishop, and his system of per-
scouting his opponents by raising their taxes was a
method OF confiscation adjusted to the early stage of
an elastic plan
He could make the suckers laugh There is no
denying that he was good fighter all dictators are
But Huey was stealing the freedom of the very peo-
pie he claimed to love, and he might have had them
completely at his mercy in four years more
Probably his method instructive rather than
studied. but he was following exactly the system
that had made slaves of the Italians and Germans
1t is no laughing matter that such man with such
a plan was hell bent for national power when mere
chance cut him down.
