.131 FAMILIES
GET STATE AID
Families of Service Men AS
sisted by State Board
of Health
CARE FOR CHILDREN

One hundred and thirty-one men
in the low income group of the
armed forces, 16 in foreign service
and the others stationed in %
states are having their anxiety for
their wives allayed somewhat be-
cause of the Delaware Emergency
Plan for Maternity Care now being
administered by the State Board
of Health with funds provided by
the Children's Bureau. United
States Department of Labor, ac-
Icording to Dr. Marion Hotopp, act
ing director of the Boards Division
of Maternal and Child Health.
Complete Service
The service being given includes
complete medical care for mater
nifty patients during the period be-
fore birth, during Childbirth and six
weeks thereafter, including care of
complications, operations, care af-
ter childbirth, and medical care of
the new born infant. III babies
under one year of age are also
eligible for medical and hospital
care under this plan.
Eligible For Care
Eligibility for having this mater
nifty and child care depends upon
the father being in grades four to
seven of the armed forces (that is
having an income of SIS a month
or less. The director of the
Emergency Plan for Delaware re-
minds mothers-to-be that the
board cannot authorize payment of
any funds for any care that has al
ready been given. They must get
their application in to the State
Board of Health in Dover as soon
as they go to the doctor, or the pa
tient will have to pay fr the pre-
vious care herself.
Policies Are National
The Emergency Plan money can
not be used as part payment on
private hospital care, nor can the
physician receive any money from
the patient in addition to the funds
paid by the Children's Bureau to
him for her maternity care after
the board assumes the case. If the
physician is unwilling to accept
the amount of fee for the matern-
ity service that is offered by the
Children's Bureau under the
Emergency Plan, neither hospital
nor bedside nursing care under the
plan can be authorized by the State
Board of Health. DR.. Hotopp
stresses that although some of
these decisions may seem unkind
in individual cases, they are pol
iicies set up by the United States
Children's Bureau which furnishes
the funds and administers the pro-
gram on nationwide basis. The
131 wives of service men who are
having maternity care represent
only small portion of Delaware's
new babies this year, however, for
the Division of Vital Statistics
show approximately $50 births per
month for May and June of this
year as compared to 333 in May
and 314 in June five years ago in
1889. s

10 P. M. CURFEW
DOVER PASSED
Juvenile Delinquent
cy Cause Council to Es-
tablish Curb
EMERGENCY MEASURE

Aroused by mounting juvenile
delinquency, Dover City Council
this week passed a curfew ordin-
ance forbidding boys and girls I'M
der IL years of age from appearing
on the streets alone after 10 p. m.
The only exceptions are if boys and
girls can prove they are on legit-
innate errands or going to or re-
turning from employment. This is
the first official curfew action in
Delaware and, according to mayor
and council, is strictly a war en-
ergency" measure designed to pro-
tect youth.
When the measure was first pro-
posed, Mayor ]. Wallace Woodford
cited the growing number of COM
plants regarding the conduct OF
youth. Parental indifference"was
another factor which made the
ordinance necessary, he said. The
curfew will remain in effect for the
duration and extending six months
after the close of the war. Penal
ties for violations of the ordinance
provide for fines of from S5 to $50
and casts.
Second Ordinance
Another ordinance approved for
bids places where alcoholic bever-
ages are sold to permit anyone un-
der 81 to enter or remain in such
places as ''invitee, visitor custom.
er, agent, or employee" However
the ordinance does not apply to
those under 21 who are accompan-
led by parent or guardian or to
bona fide restaurants or eating
places between the hours of a. m
and 2 p. m. and 5 p. m. and pm
The provisions are effective immed-
lately
Emergency Measure
This ordinance likewise exempts
persons between 1S and 81 years
who hold State Liquor Commission
permits to work in such places. The
penalties for violations are fines OF
not less than $50 or more than
$100 for each offense or not more
than 80 days imprisonment. Coun-
Gil pointed out "this is an emerg-
ency measure necessitated by war
time conditions to prevent moral
delinquency, the introduction OF
spread of infectious and contagious
diseases, or nuisances affecting the
city,"

CROPS BRING
4 TIMES MORE
Some Farm Crops Bring FOul
Times as Much AS Those
of Last Year
COMPENSATES YIELD

Prices running four and five
times as much as they were for the
corresponding period of last year
on some farm produce are more
than making up for the small yield
Cucumbers have been selling for So
per bushel at the Laurel auction
block until the heavy shipments on
Monday, resulting from recent fav-
orable rains, which caused the pric-
es to drop to about S1.50. Usually
at this time of year, many persons
who are not otherwise gainfully
employed, go into the woods and
pick huckleberries and sell them by
the crate at the auction block. 1t
is not unusual to have several hun
dred crates sold each week during
the early summer, but this year not
a single crate has appeared on the
market. This means that the huck-
leberry pickers are gainfully en-
plOyed.

Last week 12,628 bushels of GU

ton block, with the total sales for

amounting to S35,153. During the
corresponding week of the 1912
season, 20, ,946 bushels of cucumbers
and a few blackberries and huckle-
berries sold for only S14,561.

2 16-YEAR-OLD
BOYS CAPTURED
Said to Have Broken Out of
Smyrna Jail; On Parole
Several Times
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

Two 16-year-old fugitives were
back in the custody of the state
police Station No. today after a
search since the two allegedly slip
ped fro mthe Smyrna Jail Monday
week. The two boys, both of whom
have been on parole several times,
were apprehended at Dover after
an automobile and foot chase Sat
urday by two state police officers.
They are being held for investiga-
tion of their activities since Mon
day night in addition to the charg-
es on which they were last held.
The two are said to have told police
that since their jail escape they
spent their time in Salisbury and
Cambridge, Md, and in Chester
and Darby, Pa. Police said they
admitted several shoplifting jobs in
the various towns.

Youths Flee Police

However, the two patrolling po-
lice officers spied the boys at The
Dover Green Saturday and at
about the same time the youths
saw them. One officer leaped from
the police car and finally captured
Ione boy near the postoffice. The
other officer, staying with the car,
drove in the direction the fugitives
took and finally, afoot, nabbed the
second one not far from where his
companion was caught. The youths
were apprehended by state police
last Saturday on charge of steal
ing bicycle at Smyrna after pre-
viously having been paroled on
chavrges of larceny of bicycle
and entering Clayton home. Re-
eased to the Smyrna police, the two
managed to get away from the Jail
Monday night. With several house
breakings reported since that time,
police are seeking to learn if the
two boys had any connection with
them.

SEEK TO GUST
MAYOR AGAIN
KillOran Seeking to Reestab-
lish LevinsOn at Middle
town Proceedings
MUST TO SHOW CAUSE

Atty.-Gen. Clair j. Killoran, in a
quo warranto proceeding seeking to
Ireestablish DR.. Louis Levinson as
mayor of Middletown, held Tuesday
in a relation made to the Superior
Court of New Castle County that
Warren w. Buckingham, present
mayor, was disqualified from seek
ing election on March 1 because he
is a justice of the peace. Killoran
cited Delaware statute which
makes it illegal for members of the
judiciary to be candidates for elec-
tice office.
Buckingham Disqualified
Accompanying his relation was
one by Levinson holding that Buck
lingham, who was seated July 6 by
the Middletown City Council after
a favorable ruling by Judge Charles
L. Terry, Jr., usurps the office, dut-
les and privileges of mayor. Kill
loran stated that because of his po-
Isition as justice of peace, Bucking-
ham twas wholly disqualified and
incapable of being elected on March
1" and asked that Buckingham be
made to show cause why the state
should not file an information
against him. Judges Frank l..
lSpeakman and Richard S. Rodney
then signed an order directing
Buckingham to appear in court on
July 26 and show cause why the
information should not be filed.

1t was not until the modern times Of
Peter the Great and the Empress Catherine
that the Russians were able TO eject the
Turks from the lower valley of the Dnieper,
from the sen of Azov, and from the Crimea.
But the Turks continued to hold CONSTANT
nople and the Balkans.
MIGHTY Russia, constantly growing in
lEl numbers, steadily expanding IN all other
directions never has abandoned its historic
purposes. In ISL Russia attacked the Turks
again. Again the Russian armies were stopped
at Constantinople by the western powers,
and the results of this conflict were entirely
altered by the Congress of Berlin, presided
over by the great Bismarck. Nevertheless,
Russian arms and influence had, decisively
contributed to the freeing of the Balkan
peoples from the dominion of the Ottoman
empire. Subsequently, these peoples emerged
as the SMALL independent nations which we
know today.
The World War Of 1914 was provoked
by the abiding rivalry of the Austro-Hun-
garian empire and Russia in these Balkan
states The Communist revolution in Russia
in 1917 replaced Russian nationalist am
billions with the MARKHAM internatlonalist con-
cepton of an entire Europe, if not of the
whole world. united by the triumph Of the
proetariat class over capitalstic society.
The Soviet government, in obedience to
old ambitions, which, though repeatedly de-
feated. have not died. apparently holds the
objective not merely of regaining the former
frontiers of Tsarist Russia in Middle Europe,
but of achieving, at last that domination of
the Dardanelles, the lower Danube valley, and
the Balkan states, which, for so lonS. were
the ambitions of the Russian court and of the
Russian people.
