JUDGE STATUS
IN DOUBT
Senate Adjourned Tuesday
Without Confirming Re-
appointments
TWO POSTS IN QUESTION

The State Senate adjourned in
Dover Tuesday afternoon until
July "a without confirming Gov.
Walter w. Bacon's reappointments
of Chief Justice Daniel j. Layton
and Resident Judge Charles S.
Richards of Sussex County, whose
terms ended at midnight Monday
night. The Senate's failure to act
on the appointments during an ex-
ecutive session which lasted from
2:30 to 1925 p. m. moved the ques-
tion as to whether Delaware will
be without a chief justice and Sus-
sex County without a resident
Judge until confirmation is accom-
plished. The postponement was
necessitated by a rule governing
executive sessions which stipulates
that the Senate cannot act upon a
Governors appointments on the
same day they are reported upon
by the committee to which they
are assigned.
Move to Suspend Rule Fails
An effort to suspend the rule to
enable consideration of the ap-
pointments was defeated with all
of the eleven Republican and six
Democratic members present. Art
icle ", Section Three of the State
Constitution says, in part: eff a
vacancy shall occur, by expiration
of term or otherwise, at a time
when the Senate shall not be in
session, the Governor shall within
thirty days after the happening of
any such vacancy convene the Sem
ate for the purpose of confirming
his appointment to fill the said va
cancy, and the transaction of such
other executive business as may
come before it."
Posts Claimed Vacant
Members of the Senate and at
.Aleast one high state official took
the position, however, that the
terms of Chief Justice Layton and
Judge Richards have expired and
that until the Senate confirms
their reappointments, their posts
are vacant. Explanation was made
that the state constitution and the
constitutional convention debates
contemplated that an appointment
to the state bench shall be for
twelve years and expire at the end
of that time after which vacancy
exists until appointment by the
Governor "by and with the con-
sent" of a majority of the men,
bers of the Senate. Chief Justice
Layton was appointed and Judge
Richards was reappointed on July
8, 1888 making their terms expire
at midnight Monday night with
action on the governors appoint
ments to the positions now post
poned the places on the bench will
remain vacant until nominations
are confirmed by the Senate, it
was contended by authoritative
sources

Furs Take Spotlight
In Autumn Parade
Dramatic Look Given by
Big Sleeves, Small Waists.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Whether it is fur coats, fur
trimmed cloth coats, fur hats or fur
accessories, they all broadcast the
message that fur-craft has set a
new high in point of real artistry
and creative design.
If you are considering a new fur
coat or if you are planning buying
chic fur hat or modish fur stole
wrap to wear with your fall suit, the
wisest move you can make is to do
it now while you can get first
''pick."
There's a lavish look about the
new fur coats, especially in the mod
ish shorties. Some of them flare.
others are belted-in or fitted tunic
versions. Sleeves are big, bulky
and magnificent, many of them with
notwithstanding turn-back cuffs.
Choose either the coat that is snug
ly belted to a tapered-in waist or
one that faunts dramatic flare.
Either will prove thrilling adven-
ture in beauty and luxurious
warmth.
Grays in fur are making big
splurge and there is plenty of versa
tility about the variety in gray pelt-
ry as well as their ingenious styl-
ing. A smoky gray Persian. cut
with the flare of a Cossack tunic,
says "style' all over it. Pewter
gray opossun is also in the news
and high-fashion platinum mink
achieves the ultimate in fur ele-
gance.
Muskrat in both browns and the
new silver blue tones, Alaskan seal,
Persian lamb and moutons have as
sured fashion rank. Beaver is one
of the ''big success" furs for coats
entire, and as trimming on cloth
coats. They like the new big-sleeve
models made up in leopard this
year.
And now comes the big news Of
white furs. Nor are they all for par
ty and evening wear. There's the
white fur coat shown in the new col
lections made of MORE Indian
broadtail lamb. Instead of being
exclusively an evening wrap it is
wearable as a daytime wrap with
dress-up dresses, winter sports
fashion, southern resort wrap and
for indoor wear with winter Stacks.

THE BATTLE OF THE

"CaltOay, Eire.-The annual finals in

"Put a more RESPECTFUL tone to

glaring at him.
"Now want We both to come out

'The likes of We tellin' me what

FINALLY they met accidentally and
fell into clinch. The referee tried
to part them but found he was sep
arating two spectators by mistake.
ROUND III.
O'Feeney fell on his face three
times as he came from his corner.
His opponent, falling but twice, was
the sharper as they got to their
feet. Both swung haymakers at the
same time and landed on the
referee, who was saved by the bell.
ROUND iii.
O'Feeney's eye had been cut. His
seconds had leaped in to put
patch on it, but they put the patch
on an innocent bystander in their
general uncertainty. The bell for
the round failed to sound as the Of
fetal timekeeper had become en-
gagged in brawl of his own. There
were 30 or 40 other fights in prog
ress all over the glen now. The spec
tators began to yell for action.
Here the spectators became dis
orderly.
Cries Of they're stallin' and
''throw the sissies out" rang
through the fields.
The fight was then stopped as a
FAKE.
But it took q referees to stop it.
MORE ABOUT HORSE SHEDS
Our recollection of old-time horse
sheds at Mansfield Grove, hard by
the East Haven river, before the
days of trolley cars is shared by Bob
Stevenson.
eve remember those sheds. We
used to hold the annual great family
picnic there, with the uncles and the
aunts and the cousins and the great
aunts, and the grandmothers and
the grandfathers and heaven only
knows how many kids of all sizes
and degrees of inevitable addiction
to falling off the rocks into the sea,
getting lost in the far meadow
reaches, or adventuring in some
boat to look for pirate treasure or
distant Thimble islands," writes
Bob.
1.-THE New Haven members of the
clan would roll out in the grandeur
of the finest that they could hire at
Kinks livery, with fringed Surveys,
red-striped yellow wheels, shining
black enameled dashboards and
ribbon-tied whips in flare sockets.
Aunt Eliza made the clam chow
der in an iron pot braced on stones
over a driftwood fire, enough for the
entire picnic. The rest Of the food
came in large, heavily laden bas-
kets, travelling under carriage seats.
But any further recollections of what
we had to eat at those long grove
tables would only make us sadder in
these days of rationing."
Elmer Twitchell suggests that we
let Japan keep the emperor and one
end Of the horse. Or maybe we
should take him off that horse and
put him on mouse.

why EVERY ENGINE NEEDS FRAN
During normal operation, dirt,
dust, grit and other abrasives
are sucked into engines. At the
same time carbon and s1udge
are formed within the engines.
Unless filter ed out, the dirt and
carbon grind away moving
parts, while the sticky sludge
clogs oil channels to hamper
fabrication and increase wear.
But with a Fran, these impur-
tiles are filtered out, to keep
