PRINTZ BYPASS
DUAL HIGHWAY
200 to Be Given Jobs By
WPA on Grading For Sec
Ond Boulevard Lane
WILL COST s13o,OOO

Plans for making the Governor
Printz Boulevard a dual highway
from the Wilmington city line to
the Shell Road where it joins the
Philadelphia Pike were revealed
last week by A. Frank Fader, New
Castle County representative on
the State Highway Commission.
The work of grading and preparing
the foundations for the proposed
second lane of the highway will
start early this month as a WPA
project, Mr.. Fader said
200 Men to Be Employed
This work is being undertaken
at this time, he added, in order to
provide employment throughout
the fall for more than 200 men who
will be supplied through the WPA-
The total cost is estimated at
about $4,000, although it is divid-
ed into two projects, one extending
from the city line half way to the
intersection with the Shell Road,
and the other extending the re-
mainder of the distance
The laying of the concrete and
completion of the second lane will
probably not be approved by the
commission until next year, Mr.
Fader said.
The second lane will be situated
between the present lane and the
added, explaining that the right of
way was obtained by the State
Highway Department when the or
iginal lane was built.
The commission approved plans
for having this grading work done
as a WPA project several months
ago, but did not reveal its action
until the necessary approval had
been received from Benjamin Able
man, Delaware WPA administra-
tor, the Washington Office of the
WPA, and the U. S. Department of
Highways, whose approval was
needed as the highway will be
federal aid road
WPA to Provide Labor
The State Highway Department
will provide the trucks and any
materials needed for the work and
the WPA will provide the neces-
sary labor. Work is expected to
start soon and to continue through
out the fall and as far into the win
ter as the weather will permit.
This will make the fourth dual
highway in Delaware, the others
being the Dupont Boulevard from
Wilmington to Dover, the Glasgow
Road from State Road to the
Maryland line, both of which are
completed, and the road from Will
mington to Newark on which con-
struction was recently started. Mr..
Fader also announced that the con-
tract for the Charles w. Cullen
bridge over the Indian River had
been awarded to the Pittsburgh
Des Moines Steel Company, the
lowest bidder, and that Work on the
construction of the bridge will
start Immediately. The bids were
opened and published by the COM
mission several weeks ago.

time he took the DR.. Ashcraft farm

than usually successful, having
bought himself farm in the

School Budget Action Deferred

Lack of a full attendance at the
State Board of Education meeting
Thursday afternoon prevented the
final drafting of the next biennial
budget of the state board. Only
four of the six members attended
and it was dssned advisable that a
full board be present to discuss the
budget needs. The next meeting
to discuss the budget will be set
to accommodate the members of
the Budget Commission.

When Mrs. J. w. Denney was in
Atlantic City she bought a bulb
from sea captain which he had
brought from the West Indies the
vimey lilly. When put in flower
pot it was as dry as an onion. In
three weeks time it has thrown out
a strong stalk two feet high. and
last night opened it's delicate pet
ais, with perfume very much like
that of the night blooming cereus,
but not so short lived, as it is still
blooming to-day. It has twelve
blossoms, three of which are now
open, and the remainder probably
will be during the week. 1t is

WHEAT s1.o2; CORN So CENTS

w L1AA1 p1.ONy SOIN4N 20 SCI4N ,
The continued upward tendency
of the wheat market has caused
the farmers who were able to hold
their grain to pity their less favor
ed brothers who were forced to
yield to necessity and sell their
wheat. Last week millers in Bal
timore paid S1O0 to $1.O2 for good
prime southern Fultz, and choice
lots were sought for and not found.
A general feeling is taking hold in
the trade that the advance in
wheat has come to stay. The offer
ing of southern corn is very small,
and the market is nominal. Sales
of white at 56 and So, and yellow
at Sc cents are reported. Early in
the week oats were scarce in VIII
mington and sold for so cents a
bushel. Corn brought 65 cents
shelled.

resumed the oyster trade on Sat-

yet. In this respect they differ
from last year, the repeated heavy
rains sending down a volume of
fresh water that fattened them
earlier than usual.

medical men, graduate nurses and
others of our state belonging to the

BUILDING PLAN
AT FARNHURST
DR.. Tarumianz, Superintend-
ent of State Hospital to
Submit Program to Board
100000 NEGRO UNIT

A S1,28O.O0O building program
for the Delaware State Hospital
over period of eight years was
submitted by DR.. M. A. Tarumianz,
superintendent, to the board of
trustees and to the Governors cab
met at meeting in the hospital
Thursday. The sum includes ST.
III 900 for building and 100000
for equipment. DR.. Tarumianz said
the board of trustees will borrow
S715,0O0 az two per cent interest,
which will be amortized in 80
years at the rate of S23, 1873 a year
plus the interest, pending approval
by the next session of the Legisla-
ture. In this way, the board would
become the sponsors of the build
ing program, enabling a Public
Works Administration grant of
$3.50
DR.. Tarumianz said the program
will relieve overcrowded conditions
in the hospital. 1T is impossible
that one can achieve successful re-
suits in the treatment of the indi-
vidual, when the vast majority of
the individuals are cramped and
packed together to an extent that
mere existence becomse burden
some" he said.
'All of our buildings are 80 over
crowded that every available space.
even corridors, day rooms and
Easements, are filed with beds. It
is true that our new buildings as
well as our receiving wards have
adequate space, but unfortunately
they accommodate less than one
third of the population"
The program proposed by DR..
Tarumianz includes complete new
Negro unit to house 266 patients,
to cost 100000, including $375, 900
for building and $4,000 for equip
ment. At the present time, there
are 232 male and female Negro
patients in the hospital.
The annex to the main build
ing and the basement which are
utilized to house those patients
have space for only 125. The hos
pital does not have adequate facil-
tiles for Negro patients, no means
for giving them hydro-therapy or
other modern methods of treat
ment. 1t is very unfortunate, but
lack of housing facilities has forced
US to dispense with living rooms.
Truly, conditions are deplorable
THE new unit will not only give
these patients adequate care and
treatment with greater possibility
of cure, but it will allow us to Gre
ate new policy in the care of col
ored patients; namely, the employ
ment of colored physicians, grad
uate nurses, occupational therap-
lists, attendants, and other employ
es necessary to carry on the work
of this unit by the members of
their own race under the guidance
and supervision of the superintend-

PEACE IN The LABOR
MOVEMENT
Bv DR. cHARLEs sTELzLE

By DIR. CHARLES STEELE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
League
It is an amazing fact that some
otherwise level-headed leaders in
the American Labor Movement seem
to ignore the lessons of history, with
regard to the destructive effects of
internal conflict among nations, po-
litical parties, churches, business,
families and all other institutions.
They pretend to believe that the
labor movement is free from the
memorable laws which affect every
other form of life-or else they are
simply engaged in a game of poker.
There is one other possibility
namely, they are sure that the
principles for which they stand are
so right and fair, that they are will
ing to go down fighting. Ordinarily,
this is a high motive which should
be encouraged and commended. But
if such action results in pulling
down the entire structure, destroy
ing what has been built up at great
sacrifice by others, equally sincere,
but who may not be in entire agree
ment with these champions of a
cause" then it would appear that
there should be a compromise which
will save the entire labor movement.
A leading statesman jokingly said
some time ago that if a President of
the United States were to form a
Cabinet composed exclusively of
labor leaders, they would all want
to be Secretary of War. This was
not to the discredit of the men who
stand at the front of the labor
movement, because, obviously, they
are engaged in a great fight. But
there are times when the labor
movement needs great statesmen as
well as great generals. And this is
one Of those times.
The leaders who are charged with
the task of bringing peace within
the American Labor Movement have
repeatedly ended equally bitter
controversies with employers. But
they rarely obtained all that they
fought for, because labor conflicts
are never "settled"-they are COM
promised. 1t is a question whether
they can now demonstrate their
ability to restore peace in their own
ranks.
But peace within the labor move
ment is not a thing that can be OBJ
tanned mechanically-like digging
for gold. It will not be secured
merely through the adoption of reso-
lutions-for these may be capable of
various interpretations. Peace will
now come only through the exercise
of friendship and forgiveness, self
control and tolerance, goodwill and
courage. And these are the ele-
ments which have hitherto built up
the labor movement in this country.

QUESTION: Is it true that revers-
ing the direction of stirring when
mixing a cake will cause it to
have uneven texture?
ANSWER: The direct 4 in which
a cake is stirred has nothing to
do with the finished result. It is
only the amount of stirring that
affects texture. However, author
tiles say that a cake stirred a.
cross the bowl instead Of with a
circular motion is more likely to
have tunnels OF holes in It.
QUESTION; How can one keep
bacon from curling up while broil-
ing or frying it?
ANSWER: Making perforations in
the slices Of bacon with the points
of a fork will help prevent curl
ing. OF course you know about
placing bacon in a cold frying
pan or on a cold broiler rack.
That also prevents curling.
QUESTION: How may l prevent
my custard and pumpkin pie fill
ings from soaking through their
crusts while they are baking and
making them appear soggy?
ANSWER: Merely place the pastry
in the oven about five minutes
before the filling is poured in.
Then you will have the crust al
ready started to bake before the
liquids have a chance to come
through. OF curse you know that
custards and pies made with Gust
ard filings should always be
baked at a low temperature to
assure an even textured and
tender product. This low temper
AZURE is easily obtained and main
tanned by the oven of the Hot
point electric range, for all n
has to do is to turn the oven con-
troll to the desired temperature
and the pie will bake in the de-
sired length of time without any
watching and worrying. Further
more, with a Hotpoint range, you
may start your pies in either a
cold or preheated ven
QUESTION: Is there any way to
keep wax candles from bending
when they are kept in a warm
room?
ANSWER: Put a very thin coating
Of shellac on the candles to make
them stand erect. This will not
interfere with their burning even
ly.
QUESTION; What causes some
cakes to have a slightly browner,
crisp, ruffly edge around their
surfaces when they come out Of
the oven?
ANSWER: Too large a proportion
of fat in the recipe, or a pan that
has been creased too heavily,
may cause a brown, rufhy edge
on the surface of a cake.

M5S0ULA THEATRE
Offers PREMIUM
ON UNION CARD

The Community Theatre at Mis-
soula is offering a very novel and
enticing plan to members of organ
lied labor and giving concessions to
those who present union cards al
the box office. Under the arrange
ment any person who presents his
union or working card at the win
dow will be permitted to enter the
theatre at a reduced price of 10
cents.
AS far as the Montana Labor
News is aware or other leaders OF
labor in Silver Bow County, this is
the first instance where labor has
been offered a reward by a mer-
camille or business establishment
for belonging to a labor organiza-
ton. 1t is hoped that the labor
organizations of Missoula will rec
ognize the motives behind the offer
and take advantage of it by literally
patronizing the theatre.
There is an advertisement in an
other section ofe this issue which
describes the plan in detail.
