Airplanes In State

Delaware, we are pleased to
note, is pretty well prepared
to take its place to meet an
emergency in civilian aviation
should demands be made. Ac-
cording to the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority there are six
AiIports and Landing Fields
in Delaware listed. Three are
registered as partially OF full
ly lighted.
1t is a hopeful sign that our
citizens are showing an in
creased interest in aviation.
Generally it is indicated by
the fact that during last year
20 new pilots were licensed,
making a total Of GA persons
in the state who now are au-
thoIized to operate airplanes.
During the year also Is
planes were acquired by Del
awareans, making the num-
Der now registered in the
state Sc.
This is an encouraging
sign. Aviation is making 9
demand upon persons eligible
to become pilots. Undoubt.
edly many more persons who
lack the financial mean;
would become licensed flyers
if the facilities were made
available to them for propel

length. Stairways and foot
ways for pedestrians also
would be required in a tunnel,
as well as on a bridge, and at
tendants would be required to
police a tube or an immovable
high span, just as operators
are required for a draw OF lift
bridge. Provision also would
have to be made for pumping
the water seepage from a tun-
mel, and for lighting it con-
stantly.AlI of these circum-
stances should be taken into
consideration in any discus
sion of the form of crossing
proposed at the canal.

may prove prohibitive even to
a government that has been

A Good Citizen Passes

In the death of John w.
Tucker Smyrna has lost one
of its oldest and most prom
inent business men and cit
liens. Mr.. Tucker from hum
bic circumstances made his
own way in the world and by
sheer industry became one of
Smyrna's leading business
men and a citizen whom
everybody esteemed. One Of
the kindest Of men, doing
good where he was able, he
will be remembered for his
philanthropy. Big hearted,
one Of the most indulgent Of
husbands and fathers, he will
be greatly missed in the town
and community where he
gave the full measure Of his
service and devotion.

at a carefully-weighed deci-
sion as to the form of cross
ing to be installed, for there
still exists a possibility,
though remote, that the same
kind of accident might place
out of commission the canal

tremendously to the incon-
venience existing because of

Sudlersville's Example

Probably the people of Sud-
lersville, Md, thirty miles
south of Elkton as the crow
flies, cannot understand the
financial plight of Philadel-
phia, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin. "They have paid all
of their taxes for the past ten
years, owe no money, and
have a balance in the local
treasury. Stranger still, the
tax collector, gathering 100
percent. harvests for a dec
ade, has charged nothing for
his services. Sudlersville is
in Queen Anne's County. The

would have supposed it to be
in Utopia.

Tunnel VS.. Bridge Talk

Much is being said on
the canal at St.
Georges shall have a new
bridge or a tunnel. Engineers
are reported in saying a tun-
mel will cost four times as
much as a bridge. But since
our Legislature, our Cover
nor and so many Of our prom.
inent citizens are strongly fol
a tunnel, we agree with the

Wilmington Joural-Every Ev-
ening that ''before action is
taken by any other groups OF
organizations in favor of a
particular form of crossing it
would be well to obtain esti-
mates of the cost of various
types and heights of bridges
and of a four-lane tunnel as a
basis for enlightened discus
sion.
Undoubtedly bridge of
sufficient height to require no
draw to permit all ships to
pass under it, OF a four-lane
tunnel, would be preferable to
a road level bridge to permit
the uninterrupted flow of We
hicular traffic. But several
factors should be considered
before a decision is reached as
to the form of crossing to be
installed. Most important of
these is the cost of the prof.
ect, and consideration of the
rights Of pedestrians along
with those of vehicular traf-
fic.
The War Department re
quires the height Of a fixed
bridge to be 1873 feet above
the navigable water level, to
allow clearance of the masts
Of the largest battleship. We
are informed unoficially that
the approximate cost Of a
four-lane bridge Of that alti-
tude, with its necessarily long
approaches, would be from
$1,2OO,OOO to 100000,
while the cost Of a four-lane
span with draw at the road
level would be about S850,O00.
The approximate cost Of q
four-lane tunnel is estimated
at about S4,OOO,OOO. It would
be necessary, because Of the
topography Of the st. Gorges
section, to have a tunnel and
approaches from three-quart-

The Problem of Relief

In the gathering Congress,
at the State Conference of
Mayors, and in other quart
ers, there is increasing evi-
dence of a widespread tend
ency toward a basic reexam-
ination of the whole problem
Of relief, says the New York
Times.
'The subject can stand con
siderably more thinking g
through than it has 50 far re-
ceived. This applies particu-
larly to the amounts contrib
uted to Individual communi-
ties by the federal govern
ment. That these federal
funds do not belong to any
federal official OF group Of Of
ficials, that they are the prop
erty Of the whole country,
that they should be divided
with the most scrupulous care
to make certain that the geo
graphical distribution is as
equitable, in view Of local con
ditions, as it can possibly be
made - all this should 60
without saying. Yet the coun-
try still does not know on
what basis, or in accordance
with what formula, the allo-
cation Of these federal funds
lis decided.
"Some idea Of the anarchy
prevailing in their ALLEGATION

compiled by the community

ships started out for a raid. That
was the method in the World War.
Though the Germans have Z big
ger torpedo than in the World War,
1t is astonishing that the Royal Oak,
with her armored blisters, should
have been sunk so quickly. The
admiralty statement at this writing
Is not completely definite that the
cause was torpedo from q U-boat.
Sabotage is all but wholly doubtful,
and magazine explosion hardly
plausible. If 1t had been a maga-
zine explosion, this would have been
reported instead Of inspiriting the
Germans by indicating a U-boat.
Sub Commanders Not Talkative.

Or the German submarine outpac-

Germans now several such gifted
masters Of technique as Hans Rose
In the World War? He was genius.
"Old Hans Is out again." Perhaps
the German U-boat commanders
are not as talkative as in the World
War. Then their tendency to In
dulge in radio conversations often
located their positions.
And the Royal Mail liner Loch-
avon and other ships sunk yester-
day? Were they not In convoy with
destroyer protection? The British
have 158 destroyers. Not enough?
Their first call to us when we en-
