COASTAL ROAD
MAY BE REALITY
Road from RehObOth- Bethany
Beach to Ocean City, Nd,
Looks Promising
TEST OF SAND DUNES

The long agitated Maryland-Del-
aware coastal highway linking Re-
hoboth Beach, Del, with Ocean
City, Md. with continuous stretch
of roadway skirting the ocean
front seemed a step neared last
week as reports reached local Of
ficials that the sand ffence con-
structed several months ago as a
test by the Maryland State Roads
Commission was proving highly
satisfactory. Construction of
Maryland's seven-and-a-half-m mile
share of the coastal highway would
ultimately join the present Beth
any Beach-Rehoboth Beach coastal
road along the Delaware beach. it
is stated, opening up another out
let for traffic to and from Ocean
City. Delaware is reported having
assured Worcester County inter
ests that as son as Maryland builds
the beach road to the Delaware
line from Ocean City. that state
will extend the highway between
Fenwick's Island and Bethany
Beach, Del. The sand fence, built
several months ago with cheap,
waste lumber, is located between
the line of the proposed beach road
and the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
During the past winter the fence
served as windbreak during sew
eral severe storms and caused high
sand dunes to form near the shore
line. These sand dunes are natural
windbreaks for the proposed beach
highway, State Roads Commission
engineers say and have proven of
immense value during the few
months the fence has been in ex-
istence. Headed by William R.
Mann, Ocean City advocates are
urging the construction of the
beach road this summer. The dis
tance from Ocean City to the Della
ware line at Fenwick's Island is
reckoned at seven and one-half
miles. AS link of the proposed
beach road, proponents cite the ex-
istence of a two-and-one-half mile
link of stone road, now extending
from Ocean City north to Maridel
Beach resort, which could be re-
paired and converted into a mod
ern highway at low cost. The re-
naming five miles of beach road
could be built, it is said, at a cost
of around 81 900 per mile or a to-
tai of 2O,OOo, they point out.

J. WOLCOTT IS
LIKELY CHOICE
If Senator Hughes Bill For.
Another U. S. Judge
Passes Congress
C. L. TERRY MENTIONED

Chancellor Josiah o. Wolcott is
being regarded by a number of
members of the bar as the man
most likely to be nominated to the
federal bench in Delaware if u. S.
Senator James H. Hughes is sue
cessful in his bill authorizing the
appointment of an additional judge
in the U. s. District Court. Sena-
tor Hughes introduced his bill last
week, based upon the grounds that
the business Of the district court
has grown to the extent that two
judges are necessary. Since the
district court here was established
in its present form, it has only had
one judge. The bench is now occu-
pied by Judge John P. Nields. In
the event that Chancellor Wolcott
is appointed to the federal court,
members of the bar say, it is prob
able that Judge Richard S. Rodney
Of the State Supreme Court would
be appointed chancellor by Gov.
Richard c. McMullen subject to
confirmation by the State Senate.
AS a successor to Judge Rodney in
the Supreme Court Secretary of
State Charles L. Terry, Jr., is be-
ing mentioned. If these changes
are made, the problem of a new
secretary Of state arises and there
are no indications who would be
named to that post. Chancellor
Wolcott was appointed to his pres
ent position In 1921 by Gov. Will
liam D. Denney and confirmed by
special session Of the Senate. He
has served as deputy attorney gen.
eral and latter as attorney general
and in 1915 was elected U. s. SEN
ator. Judge Rodney went on the
bench In 1922, succeeding the late
.Tud0e T. Bayard Haisel.

Succumbs To Burns
Miss Ann Grier Deputy, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Clara R., and the late
William E. Deputy, Milford, died
at six o'clock Wednesday evening

ergency Hospital. Death resulted
from burns suffered accidentally at
her home the Tuesday morning
previous. 1t is believed her dress
was ignited by the flame from a
gas stove on which she was pre-
pairing breakfast. Miss Deputy at

out success. Mrs. Roscoe E. Cal
loway and Harry Truitt, neighbors,
hearing her cries, went to her as
sistance, and beat out the flames.
She was taken to the hospital by
her uncle, George 5. Grier. Miss
Deputy, who was 40 years old, is
survived by her mother, one sister,
Mrs. William H. Riggs, of Milford,
and a brother, James H. Deputy of

There have been some changes
among the clerks the past week.
John Spruance has rented the
store house of John P. Hudson at

Griffenburg, as a hardware store,
and he is to be succeeded at
Thompson's by Charles Newman of
Clements store. Jacob Vandever
of the latter store has taken a po-
sition with Abel Sevil at Clayton
and is succeeded by Harvey Stew
art.
A part of the Peterson and
Mustard land that was laid off into
building lots, in its unfenced condi-
tion affords very nice pasturage.
Several have availed themselves of
this what seems to be free pastur-
age, among them John R. Wilson.
On Saturday his horse came home
with a cash an inch or two cut
through it's hide, and on Monday
with its side looking like a coland-
er from two loads of shot that had
been emptied therein. After this
Mr.. Wilson thought it about time
to hunt new pasture.
r. M. Cooper's average on his
strawberry sales was half a cent
above that of last year, the net be-
ing 2 1-2 cents per box-very poor
pay. Charles H. Register, who was
home from New York on Saturday
says the difficulty in the price this
year was from poor fruit rather
than the quantity sent. 1t arrived
there much of it in juicy state,
caused by the continued rains, and
could no be reshipped, as when
they are picked dry and firm, to
distant towns. They had to be
sold largely TO the cart boys, and
that means low prices.

FARM P0LICY'S
FUTURE HELD
UNCERTAIN
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service Staff

The most far-reaching farm
progra never considered by Con-
gress, as embraced in the proposed
new AAA, faced an uncertain
future today as flat denials were
made that the program was an
Administration measure.
Doubt that Congress could
study all phases of the program
in time to enact it in the present
session was expressed by members
of the House Agriculture Commit
tee. The bill was presented the
committee by representatives OF
a farm conference arranged by
farm organizations.
While the measure, which IN
cludes benefit payments, an ever.
normal granary plan, and control
of production, is backed by the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton and some other farm organl-
cations, neither the national
grange nor the leading dairy
organizations have yet endorsed 1t.
Spokesman for the farm confer
ence moved to force a definite
statement from Secretary OF Agrl-
culture Wallace on this program
and on the Administrations pro-
gram. Edward O'Neal, president
of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, said Wallace would be
asked to go before the House Agrl-
culture Committee to state his
position.
Chairman Jones Cd Of Texas,
of the House Agriculture Commit
tee, explained:
"The program is not an Ad.
ministratiOn program, although
it contains features which have
been approved by the Admins
tratiOn. The program is an elab-
crate one and will require care
full consideration. 1t is too early
to indicate what, If anything,
may be done by Congress. We
now have a program that is
working well"
Representative Hope (R) Of
Kansas, minority leader on the
committee, said the program ap.
peared to be "a program to end
all farm programs" The measure
was described by some members as
embracing both the old AAA and
Bankhead cotton bill.

Steel Sphere Plans
Invasion of OOZe

The humans inside the steel
sphere, which has succeeded in
entering the world of microscopy,
inside one of the crevices of a COM
mon Lincoln penny, are preparing
to attempt their most dangerous
feat since they began the strange
journey.
DR.. Kalla Kopak, discoverer Of
the secret K-ray machine and
builder of the sphere, is heading
the expedition into the unknown
world of infinitude. With him is
world famous scientific investiga-
tor, Brick Bradford; the young
fiancee of Mr.. Bradford, and a
stowaway, DR.. Ego, who almost
wrecked the sphere and its occu-
pants in his attempt to learn the
secret of DR.. Kopak's K-ray.
The sphere is tremendous in its
original size. but because it is
equipped with secret mechanismS
and the K-ray, DR.. Kopak has
Shrunk it and the occupants so
small they could enter an atom in
the structure Of the coin.
Must Evade OOZe
The sphere is now lowering
above an inky black waste made UP
of primeval ooze. Even at it's pres
ent size it is too large to penetrate
the treacherous depths of the lake,
so the explorers have decided to
reduce their sphere ever more.
This black swamp is made up
of fundamental unitS-juSt as
everything else in creation, &C
cording to scientistS-and a body
smaller than the component parts
of the matter which comprises this
dark ooze will be able to find
clear passage between the units.
A group Of scientists, physicists
and biologists, standing around a
table on which lies the penny,
are listening breathleSsly to sounds
emanating from the coin over
the most sensitive radio apparatus
in the world.
If something went wrong with

the mechanism of the sphere or
with the K-ray all would be lost
with the shrunken humans aboard.
In Deadly Peril
Will DR.. Kopak and his pasSen-
gers return to the world of men
with the discoveries of their Jour-
ney into the Lincoln Penny?
Everything about them now seems
as large to them as the world
does to normal persons. To find
out what happens when the sphere
enters the lake of primeval ooze,

ton Times. Read the comic pages
