lynchings were recorded, as repre-
senting results Of long years OF
work by them to bring about lynch
consciousness, Mrs. Ames said.
Formerly she continued, lynch
ings were shushed up and therefore
soon forgotten.
/ Now, however. we get the facts
and see. that they are publcized, !
she stressed. When we hear a
lynch mob has assembled. we make
a direct appeal to law enforcement
officials, so that a lynching cannot
take place without the authoritiea
knowing of it."
The association organized ten

NEW LAW ON
BILL BOARDS
Safety Measure Prohibits Out
door Advertising of the
Public Nuisance Type
PENALTIES PROVIDED

The new law regulating outdoor
advertising which went into effect
the first of the new year will be en-
forced by the State Highway De
partment. Outlining the provisions
of the act, highway officials term
it safety measure applicable to
outdoor advertising signs located
near any public highway outside
the limits of any incorporated city
or town. The act provides that a
permit must first be obtained from
the State Highway Department be-
fore such advertising signs are
erected, maintained, or displayed.
Application for a permit for each
advertising sign must be made to
the State Highway Department
and an Identification tag for each
sign will be issued by the depart
ment at a small charge The law
prohibits all advertising signs on
the right of way of any public
highway, within 25 feet of any pub
lie highway, parkway, play ground,
school or church, upon the inside
of curves or at highway intersec-
tions or at railroad crossings. This
act does not apply to signs not ex-
ceeding 30 square feet in area
placed on the premises to identify
a business conducted thereon;
sign containing six square feet or
less upon real property stating that
the property, or part thereof, is
for sale or for rent; signs required
by law or by public authority;
danger or precautionary signs;
signs for the direction or safety of
the public; signs of a municipality
maintained at public expense. No
advertisement affixed upon rocks.
trees. fences, or barricades is per
mitted by the act within so feet of
any public highway. The law pro-
hibits the display of outdoor ad-
vertising which induces violation of
federal or state laws, or which is
to morals, or which is
false, misleading or deceptive. Any
outdoor advertising sign erected,
or displayed in viola
tion of the act is declared to be a
public nuisance and may be abat-
ed. The act also provides for a
fine of not less than SO or more
than $50 for the violation thereof.
The State Highway Department is
now preparing rules and regula-
tions for the administration of the
act which will be available for dis
tribution. Further information |
may be obtained by addressing the
right of way division of the State
Department at Dover.

KENT TRAPPERS ACTIVE
Muskrat Season Approaches Peak
on the Delaware Marshes

Colder weather and the advanc-
ing season have brought muskrats
to a larger size and within the
week trappers are expected to
broaden their activities throughout
Kent County and the entire state
as the price of furs rises and the
larger number Of traps on con
servatively trapped marshes in
creases the daily yield. Although
the trapping season officially open
ed December i, the majority of
trappers, knowing that most Of the
skins during December will be
small, did not set out more than a
few traps to cover their runs and
to get the feel of the marsh in their
bones. The rats grow consider
ably during December and the in
creased value Of their hides as a
result Of the growth well repays
the conservative trapping during
this month. Then, too, when the
weather gets colder, the hide grows
thicker. The young or first year
muskrats, born last spring, are
just coming to maturity in Decem-
ber, but by January and February
are large enough to bring a good
price and to make the trapping
route a profitable business. A large
percentage of rats taken each
year in the traps are animals less
than one year old. Marsh owners
and conservative trappers do not
want to catch all the rats on their
marshes any one season. They
want a sufficient number to escape
the traps to breed the following
spring. For this reason also trap
ping is light at the start of the
open season and increases as the
grow larger. Good furs
are bringing dollar (slightly more
in some cases. at the present time.
may legally be taken
only in traps. 1t is understood
that several poachers have been
arrested lately who were kicking
the rats from the muskrat houses
and then shooting them with rifles
as they emerged.
