Farmers Given Useful Advice
in Matter of Using the

Placing fertilizer in the right

points to cooperative experiments
with various truck and field crops
by the U. S. Department of Ag-

show that when fertilizer is in
bands about inches to the side
of the row and approximately on
a level with the seed or seeding
roots, yields usually are bigger and
crops earlier and of better quality
than when it is scattered or plac-

URGE GOVERNOR TO SIGN
New Auto Tag Measure Moving
Dates of Registration


Signing of House Bill No. Al,
which defers payment of automo-
bile registrations from January l
to April 1, and which has passed
the Legislature, was urged by a
committee representing the Will
mington Chamber of Commerce
Monday in conference with Gov.
Richard C. McMullen. Horace V.
Daniel, chairman of the automo-
tive trades and transportation Sec
ton of the chamber, acted as
spokesman. Other chamber offic-
ials and section officers who at
tended included John F. Porter,
Robert Mccormick, ]. F. Curren,
John r. Lambson, Arthur N. kus-
chan, and E. A. Section. Forty
states now have registration on
dates after January /, the commit
tee pointed out. They declared
that automobile owners, who have
other year-end obligations; mer-
chants, who suffer from freezing
of business normally existing
around January L, and the state,
which will have the advantage of
increased gasoline tax receipts,
will all benefit from such a law.
Governor McMullen told the COM
mittee he had heard of no opposi-
tion to the bill.

SMYRNA 10Th
CENTURY CLUB
Supt. George r. Miller of Our
Schools, Addresses the
Club Members
FOLLOWED LUNCHEON

Supt. George r. Miller Of the
John Bassett Moore School of
Smyrna, was the speaker at the
meeting of the Century Club last
Friday. His subject was some in
teresting phases Of the Nazi pro-
gram. Beginning his talk with a
short comment about the passion
play at Aberanmergau which he
had once visited, he contrasted the
idealogy with that Of Nazi Ger
many. The play represents the
ideals Of Christianity Nazism
represents state socialism. The
dynamic of the Nazi program is
the belief in the superiority Of the
German race. To keep this blood
stream pure, Germany must be
purged of all foreign strains, hence
the persecution of the JewsThough
we cannot approve of the ideals Of
Nazism, democracies might take a
lesson in the well-planned program
which it has for youth. From the
time a boy is nine years old there
is an intensified training program.
AS time goes on there is a selec-
ton of those which are best fitted
to be members of the party and
finally for the leaders. There the
best equipped young people of
Germany are being prepared to be-
come the future leaders of Ger
many. The talk followed lunch
con which was given by the brown
and silver groups. Over eighty
women attended the luncheon.
Mrs. Alfred Tilghman and Mrs.
George Scout were hostesses. This
week being Good Friday, there will
be no meeting of the club.

BIG VIADUCT OF
DUAL HIGHWAY
S00-Foot Span to Carry Will
mingt0n Newark Traffic
Over Red Clay Creek
PART OF DUAL HIGHWAY

Test borings were started Mon
day at Cranston Heights to de-
termine the type of foundations
for the new 800-foot dual highway
viaduct over the Red Clay Creek
valley. This is the first step in the
proposed two-mile extension of the
dual highway recently completed
between Elsmere and Prices Cor
ner, which will cost, altogether,
about 100000 Work will be un-
Idertaken this spring. Sprague and
Henwood, Inc, Philadelphia engin-
eers, have been engaged by the
State Highway Department, to
make the test borings. The new
vioduct will have four lanes of
traffic, separated in the center by
an island The new extension of
the dual highway viii comprise
two concrete highways each %
feet wide, and will lead from
Prices Corner over the new
viaduct at Cranston Heights, to
Limestone Road. 1t is estimated
the bridge will cost about $500, 900
and the extension of the highway
about the same. Plans for the
dual highway extension are now
practically completed Bayard A.
Vandegrift, highway department
engineer, said, and those for the
viaduct are being completed. The
department plans to go ahead
with the work as soon as all pre-
liminary planning is completed.
Most of the new section of the
road will take an entirely different
course from the present Capitol
Trail to Newark and many of the
curves and hills will be eliminated
by Strengthening and grading.
Work on the second section, which
will be paid for partly with federal
funds, will not be completed until
some time next year.

TAX VS.. ROAD
FUND TRANSFER
Higher Income Levy Would
Be Necessary Also, Mr..
Chandler Says
FUND is OBLIGATED

F'ormer-State Senator Ebe H.
Chandler, chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Committee, on Monday
defended the proposed borrowing
of sums from the highway and
school funds the next two years
The alternative, he said, would be
a state real estate tax and an in
crease in the state income tax of
approximately so per cent. The
highway fund, he said, is obliated
to the general fund for S9,000,OO0
as a result of the retiring of per
cent highway bonds in that
amount, which enabled the high
way fund to have its present re-
serve. "One or two groups" Mr..
Chandler explained, have evinced
alarm over the proposed transfer
of monies from the highway and
school funds to meet the require
ments of the general fund. These
groups, in each instance, have en-
phasized possible detriment to our
highway system. The Republican
party is reluctant to borrow money
from the highway and school funds
for general fund purposes" he
said, adding that a study of the
situation showed that the proposed
transfer would not delay or hind
er the programs of the highway
and school department and, as a
matter of fact, there will be no
diversion from the funds" He
said the general fund would bor-
row about 100000 from the two
funds combined each year for each
of the next two years, issuing GER
tificates of indemnity to the two
affected departments. TT would
seem not only unfair but absolute
ly unreasonable to expect the peo-
pie of the state to pay more taxes
when this money is available and
will not be needed by the two de
partments in the promotion of
their present programs. The tax
payers already are overburdened
and no new taxes should be assess
ed when there is an escape from it.
The business men and other citi-
zens with whom I have talked are
in hearty accord with the proceed
ure suggested. During the last
Republican administration more
than 100000 was paid out of the
general fund to retire highway
bonds which were bearing per
cent interest. Since the highway
department is supposed to be self

GARAGE FIRE IN
HEART OF TOWN
Much Excitement as Blaze
Broke Out i'm James H.
David's Garage
FIREMEN'S GOOD WORK

Smyrna was visited by a threat
ening fire Tuesday afternoon when
the stable in the rear of James H.
David's residence on Main street
caught fire and famed by cold
northwest wind was making a sit
uation that was much cause for
alarm. Fortunately the stable had
a tin roof and this condition en-
abled firemen to bring the fire un-
der control in a comparative short
space of time entailing loss of a
thousand or more dollars covered,
it is said, by insurance. Much
credit is due our Smyrna fire COM
pany. Their splendid work kept
the conf1agration from spreading.
The fire which was of incendiary
origin broke out between two and
three o'clock Tuesday afternoon
and for a time looked threatening
and fears were entertained for the
residence center of that part of
town especially the row of houses
on South street in direct line Of
the driving wind. SO close was
the fire to the garages and other
buildings of Wells FAIRIES that cars
and equipment of value were NOV
ed to safety. The stable of Mr..
David was formerly the old Bew-
ley stable and later was the stable
of the late S. Gilbert Wilds. Later
it became the Tatna1l stable until
the property was bought and TAX
en- over by Mr.. David. The latter
had converted the stable into three
garages. One section was occu-
pied by Mr.. David for his auto;
another was rented by Mr.. Harry
Slaughter for his automobile and
still another was rented by Mr..
Millard Passwaters for his car. 1t
just so happened when the conf1a-
grafton broke out, all the automo-
biles were out and nothing of any
material value was in the building.
The fire became very stubborn and
confined as it was under the tin
roof, volume of smoke and fire
burst out from every crevice and
kept the firemen busy with their
chemical and water supply to
bring the fire under control. So
intensely hot was the fire under
the tin roof that practically every
shingle covered by the tin was
consumed. In fact the building
was practically wrecked, so much
so that Mr.. David, it is understood,
will tear it down and rebuild a
row of new one-story garages In
its place.

He talked on the Law Enforce
ment Problem of Today" Lieu
tenant Purnell said in part that
traffic problems began from the
dragging of logs up to the present
mode of travel With the i'm
provement of highways and the
development of high speed motor
cars, traffic hazards have increas-
ed. Scientific methods are nov
employed in adjusting many sitd-
ations. Criminals are now appre.
hended by means of the modern
systems used. Radio, telephone
and wireless telegraphy are exten-
sively used by up-to-date police
departments. Crime prevention is
the greatest problem confronting
the law enforcement agencies OF
to-day. The policeman of today
must be educated to the science OF
ballistics, bloodstains, law, lie de-
tecting, court procedure, electrical
appliances, elementary chemistry
finger printing, firearms, first aid
firemanship, medicine drugs,
counterfeitting, handwriting, iden-
