JOB INSURANCE
BOARD NAMED BY
GOV. MCMULLEN
[ConfinHed from First Psge1

The commission will set up q
Statewide organization. This will
involve hiring clerical and technical
workers variously estimated from
100 to $50.
The organization will be operated
under a director to be chosen by the
commission, and whose selection
and the establishment of headquar-
ters are expected to be the first steps
of the commission.
The appointments are regarded as
the most important the Governor
has had to make or will have TO
make during his term in office.
II was provided by the Assembly
that the appointments were to be
made within 80 days after the act
was approved and that they were to
be made with the advice and con-
sent" of the State Senate.
Senate Session Held Unlikely
The latter clause is not construed
by the administration as meaning
that a special session of the Senate
will be required to confirm the ap-
pointments. 1t is understood this
will be left to the next regular ses-
sion.
Except for temporary appoint
ments not to exceed six months, the
commission must choose the per-
sonnel for its organization on the
basis of efficiency and fitness deter
mined by examinations. Positions
are to be classified to determine sal
ary schedules and minimum person
mel standards.
Once a year the commission must
report to the Governor. If it deems
any change necessary in rates In
order to protect the fund, it must
notify the Governor and Legislature
at once and make recommendations
The commission also is directed by
the act to cooperate to the fullest
extent with the Federal Social Sc
curity Board.
AS soon as the commission begins
to function the State Employment
Service, headed by Howard P.
Younf, is scheduled to be transfer
red to its jurisdiction.
Byt the end of the next fiscal year
il is expected the commission will
be handling a fund of about $l,6OO.-
0G0. A recent study by Philip f.
Grerke, secretary of the manufac-
turers' section of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce, indicated
about 100000 would be collected by
the State this year and $965,S92 next
year.
The first years yield would be
the revenue from a l.S per cent tax
on an estimated total payroll OF
$50, zoo, 900. Next year the tax will he
2.8 per cent.
In addition it is estimated the
employers will pay the federal gov
ernment $4,000 the first year and
$1O1 ,956 the second year. The State
tax applies to every employer OF 2ne
or more persons. Employees will not
be taxed.
If 1t should be determined that a
special session of the Senate is 1ec-
essary, it is likely a special election
will have to be held in the Seventh
District of New Castle
county to fill the vacancy caused by
the recent death of Senator Levi l..
Maloney. Republican. of Townsend.
Wilson c. David has been sug-
gested as the Democratic nominee II
the election is held Mr. David, who
is in Blackbird Hundred, has agreed
to run. Republicans have not ad-
yanced any candidate.

With high card value Of 141a and
probably not more than three losers
in his own hand, Mr. Burnstine had
sound two-bid, and while the final
slam contract was not q particularly
good one, it was reached at practi-
cally every other table.
The king Of clubs was opened Mr..
Burnstine won with the ace in dummy
and promptly led the nine Of spades
East ducked and now he carelessly
played the five-spot instead Of the
eight from his own hand. West won
with the ace and continued with the
queen Of clubs. Mr.. Bunstine trumped,
played the 10 of diamonds, over
taking with dummy's jack, and led
the seven Of spades. East, Of course,
played low, and now, since he had
failed to retain the five-spot, Mr..
Burnstine was forced to overtake in
his own hand and, when West showed
out, he was apparently down one trick
since there was no way to return to
dummy to lead a third spade.
However, while his careless play had
jeopardized the hand, Mr.. Burnstine
saw that he still had one chance of
making it. Accordingly he cashed the
ace. king and queen of hearts, East,
OF course, being forced to follow. He
now laid down the ace, king and queen
OF diamonds, discarding clubs on the
first two and trumping the third with
dummy's last remaining trump. Mr..
Burnstine was now In dummy and,
since he and East each held two
trumps, the lead Of = club was Just

hand, which should have been made
by simple series of illnesses, was
made by trump coup.
It should be noted that when West
won the ace of spades, If he had
simply led a heart or a diamond the
hand could not have been made, since
Mr.. Burnstine would then have held
one more trump than East and would
have been unable to make the trump
coup, but the club lead had reduced
him to the same number Of trumps
as East.

 Mellta took Q middle ground. ''Were safe out here, anyhow, Let's take Kay's suggestion--and see how we feel in the morning"
 "All right" said Kay, wen keep Q lookout. You two 90 below and sleep. I'll watch for two hours, then wake one of you up for Q little'rest of my own"
 Following her suggestion, they did keep watches-but the fact was that none slept. The two in the berths below were every bit as vide as the lookout above. Yet at dawn nothing had happened to justify their nocturnal vigilance.
 Tn the daylight" Priscilla point ed out, "that cabin looks as innocent and peaceful as can be-"
 Her companions followed her gaze across the water to the wooded island. The small, well-built struc- ture looked indeed idyllic, In the light of day the memory of It's in- terior seemed like weird dream.
 Well" suggested Kay. Do we go ashore and have another look?"
 At least in daylight we'll have the satisfaction of seeing who 1t is taking a shot at us!" Melita hitched up her stacks with @ deter mined gesture. I'm game to see what this is all about. A murder is 0 little more than bargained for on my Vacation-but there's 0 .22- calihre rife down in the cabin, and I'm not Q bad shotl"
 Melita's light braVado fooled noe body, not even Melita herself. Nevertheless, the girls climbed into the dinghy and started shoreward, each watching the cabin and the surrounding wood with the keen eyes of 0 hawk.
 The cabin they approached with caution, Melita ahead with her small rife ready for instant use. Simultaneously they peered through the cabin window, expecting again the sight that had so unnerved them last night,

 wen go inside" Kay moved shakily. "You stand near the door, Mel, while Priscilla and I have e look around"
 Tn the light of day the cabin proved to be well appointed. Furni- turo and accessories were sturdy and in keeping with outdoor life but were of the expensive variety to be found ct exclusive stores. There was no way to tell its exact age, but certainly 1t wasn't of ancient vari- ety. Curiously, the room was equipped for everything but cook Ing. There was neither stove nor pantry, and no evidence of food of any sort, And no trace of the wom- an could Kay or Priscilla And in their nervous examination while Melita stood guard with the rifle.
 "Thls gets too d-deep for me-" Priscilla said, looking ct Kay and Melita. My notion is that we'd better get away and do some cruis- ing-while we're oil three young and healthy"

CHAPTER VII

Melita and Priscilla ran toward Kay Dearborn, caught her swaying, hardly able to speak.
 "Kayi ., Kay, what's wrong9"
 When shc did speak, 1t was in Q tortured whisper, Tn there" she said, pointing to the window.
 Fearfully Melita and Priscilla drew themselves nearer to that window. At first they could make out nothing among the weird and fliekering shadows created by a dying fire on the hearth. Then they saw what had brought Rays scream.
 The figure of woman was dumped half in 0 chair, half across 0 small table in the center of the rooml one white hand hung loosely, and running slowly from the sleeve and down to the limp fingers was c thin red trickle.
 The two girls turned, their faces pallid. But Kay had gained possess sion of herself now. Without 0 word she started for the door of the cabin and tried tho latch. It opened with Q sound that seemed to crack the stiffness wide open, Wordless and trembling, the three ventured slow ly into the half-lighted room.
 "Waitl" Kay whispered, Swiftly she hathed the room in the fash lights glare. There was apparently no other occupant in the one-room cabin. The bulls-eye of the lights beam came to rest on the mantel where Q thin trail of gray smoke drifted ceilingwArd, Look" Kay said. Here's Q lighted cigaret-and with lipstick on the end" She stared at Priscilla and Mellta.
 The latter found her voice with difficulty. "There-there must be another woman around. The one who-who-" She broke of,
 "Or this cigaret was hers :" Kay nodded toward the Inert figure in the center of the room. This happened only Q moment or so ago. The-the murderer must be near here nowl"
 Let's get out" Priscilla said, moving back toward the door.
 And that seemed precisely the thing to do, Feeling that darkness was much safer at that moment, Kay switched of the flashlight, Huddled together they groped down tho path toward the beach and the dinghy.
 "What1i we doP" Melita asked,
 "I-l don't know" Kay admitted, Lets get back to the boat as fast Rs we can"
 Never had the deck of the It. tie cruiser seemed so solid and so secure as when they returned to it after that awful sight in the lonely cabin. All three sank exhausted in the after cockpit and stared toward shore where the pane of the cabin window still glowed from the iire- places reflection,
 Suddenly Kay got to her feet, "1f that's an island, I'm going to circle 1t and sec If there's another boat around here" Suiting the action to the word, she went forward, heaved up the anchor, and in a moment was at the pilot house controls, Slowly and cautiously the Chinook" crept along, with every light dead, But they could dimly make out the shoreline-and certainly enough, the body of land was an island, And small. Within a short time the Chinook" was abreast of the cabin again without having encountered another boat, or any sign of life along the shore.
 Here's what we'll do," Kay said at last, switching oH the ignition, "Well stay right here until morn ing. Then we'll go ashore again and see what this is all about"

Brain TWizzIers By Prof. ). D. Flint

An ex-aviator friend of the ol' professors was telling ome wonder fll stories the other day. Incidental ly, he is an expert Twizzler. One of the stories was of friend who was killed fighting over in France. This flyer was out on a solo patrol one day and flew deep into enemy ter- Fitory without seeing an enemy plane. Ee secured some valuable in- formation during his observation and was thinking of the surprise at- tack that could be planned around it. He was returning when sudden ly an enemy ship appeared from a cloud, banked and caught him in a disadvantageous position. Before the flyer could manuver to give battle siis ship was hit in vital spot and he went spinning down and crashed. Eae crashed within his own lines but was dead when the first person from the trenches reached the wreck. Having died a hero his family was sent Q decoration commemorating his service.
 The professor thrilled to the story but was inclined to accuse the teller Of embelllshing the facts. Why2
