dent judge of Kent County, in

CAUSEWAY SPAN
UP TO ASSEMBLY
U. S. to Refuse Crossing Elm
inatiOn Aid on Causeway
if r. r. Lets Contract
REQUIRE LEGISLATION

Work on the quarter-million dol
lar overhead crossing elimination
bridge, proposed by the State High
way Department for the two rail-
road crossings on the South Mar
ket Street causeway. probably can
not be started without amendment
by the Legislature of a present act
Under state regulation no work
can be undertaken by the State
Highway Department within the
right of way of a railroad unless
the railroad asks the bids and
awards the contract. w w. Mack,
chief engineer of the state highway
department, disclosed the plans for
the overhead bridge, which will be
approximately 1900 feet long, in
cluding the approaches, and wide
enough for four lanes of traffic
Plans for the long span, which will
eliminate two railroad crossings,
one of which has been the scene of
repeated accidents and several
deaths due to collisions of automo-
biles and trains, are now in Wash
ington awaiting final approval of
engineers. The federal bureau of
highways has notified Mr.. Mack
that bids must be asked and con-
tracts awarded by the State High
way Department, rather than by
the railroad as required by the Del
aware law, if the funds are to be
approved and allocated for the
bridge. Federal funds are now
available and have been set aside
for the South Market Street rail-
road crossing elimination bridge,
the biggest project of it's kind in
the state, but it is not likely the
work will be undertaken until the
present state law is amended. The
procedure in the past has been to
have the railroad company ask bids
and award contracts and have the
work done under direction of state
highway department engineers
with a railroad inspector on the
job. The bridge, plans for which
were prepared under direction of
Mr.. Mack and A. G. Livingston,
bridge engineer, with E. E. Down
ing, division engineer for the de-
partment for New Castle County,
cooperating, will cost approximate
ly $225, 5000. The plans call for the
moving of the Reading Company
tracks closer to the Pennsylvania
tracks on the causeway and then
building the bridge over both sets
of tracks.

fractured neck, said he had been
dead only a short time. Privates

lice said they were sure the auto
mobile that struck Vakowic would
have blood stains on it and prob
ably a dent in the front fender.

vania were asked to join in the
hunt. Vakowic was married and
had four children, three of whom
live in Europe with the mother.

time the printing committee in the
House considering bids on con-
tracts to print the House journal,

held and both branches adjourned

committee planning the inaugura-
ton of Mr. McMullen conferred

ever, that Mr.. McMullen will take
the oath of Office in the Dover

lature will be held there. There

followed by a reception in the Gov
ernor's parlors in the legislative
building. Tuesday night there will
be an inaugural ball in the armory.
The joint committee in charge of
arrangements for the trip to Wash

leave about a. m, and proceed to
Wilmington, then to Washington.
Mr.. McMullen will have his head
quarters at the New Willard Hotel.
The group will remain in Washing
ton until Thursday Afternoon, Janu-
ary 21. The House had adopted a
resolution authorizing an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the Washing
ton trip, but this sum was found
inadequate, so the resolution was
recalled and stricken from the cal
endar. Another was adopted pro-
viding for an appropriation of ST.
500. The Senate consurred.

 Up in the radio booth the an- no,ancer and his assistants are seated before two small electric gcoreboards known as identifiers. One of these identifier boxes has 2z lights presenting each player on &he two elevenS. Alongside of these lights are cards bearing the num- Der, name, age weight, height and prep school of each player. It IS used by the announcer.
 Schools Provide SpOtterS
 The other identifer box is man. apulated by two spotters, one from each of the opposing schools. This box has 22 push buttons instead of lights. The card alongside each button bears the number of play CT. When the whistle is blown for the kickoff, the spotter for the team booting the ball will push the number of the player doing the kicking. It flashes @ light on the announcer's board telling him the name of the player.
 As each play Is reeled of during the game, the spotters push the buttons corresponding to the play CTS involved, giving the announcer a running account. The annoucer also follows the action on the field with his own eyes, calling of the fcrma- tons as they occur. The announcer's identifier box often includes eight other lights, four for downs and the others as reminders to give the amount of time left to play in the quarter, give the yard line and an- ndlance in whose possession in ball is.

Platinum Worth
Twice Gold Price

CAPE TOWN U.P)-Platinum is
worth more than twice the price
of gold, and the demands of the
armament industry. which have
caused the price 10 rise, show no
signs of decreasing.
South Africa, which claims the
distinction of being second only to
Canada in cheapneSS OF produc-
ton, is enjoying the boom.
Platinum for industrial eXplo-
sives. All other uses of platinum
are unimportant besides its use in
explosives.
South Africa is a serious COM
petitor with Canada. Soviet Russia
and Colombia. Ethiopia is a new
producer, and no doubt the de-
positS will be fully exploited by
Italians. World output last year
was 275,009 ounces, and South
Africa's quota at the moment is
10000 ounces. That is only a tenth
of the possible maximum output.
The outlook is far more hopeful
than it has been for years"
