Delaware Yields
$1,000 Lbs. Honey

The Delaware State Develop

claimed that Delaware is a pert
ty sweet" place. Some sub
sanitation for this claim is
supplied by a recent U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture report
to the effect that Delaware
farms produced $1,000 pounds
of "sweet"-honey, that is-in
1860. 5000 colonies of honey
bees did the job, producing an
average of 27 pounds per hive.
While the honey yield of 8l,-
900 pounds was the same as
that of previous year, it was
worth $25, 900, or $1,000 more
than the 1859 market value.
1860 prices averaged 30.8 cents
per pound, or cents above the
1859 average.

G. Taggart Evans
Leaves TB Post
After 26 Years

Delaware's elder statesman
in the field of tuberculosis con-
troll is retiring. G. Taggart Ev-
ans, executive secretary of the
D elaware tuberculosis and
Health Sociey since 1885 and
a prominent name in health
work nationally, ended his car
eer Tuesday following the meet
ing of the Society's Board of
Directors. He was unanimously
acclaimed for his contributions
to the health and welfare of
Delawareans, and, in a move
unprecedented in the history of
the Society, was named an eX
officio member of the executive
committee and part-time con-
sultant to the society. During
the rs years that he has served
as executive secretary, the
death rate from tuberculosis in
Delaware has been reduced rs
per cent. Mr.. Evans career clos
ed on a dramatic note. A total
of $112,500 has been received
from the 1860 Christmas Seal
Campaign, the largest amount
ever to be contributed for this
cause by Delawareans. His ac-
complishments were noted in a
letter from James G.. Stone, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Nation
al tuberculosis Association, who
pointed out that in 1855 the
National Conference of Tuber-
culosis Workers awarded Mr..
Evans a certificate of apprecia-
ton "for the example of his
courage, steadfastness and de-
votion in the high task to which
he has given SO much of the
work of his hands, his mind,
and his life, and for the inspir-
alton and wisdom of his lead
ership." Mr.. Evans entered the
tuberculosis field in August,
1924, as assistant executive Sec
retary of the Maryland Tubercu-
.losis Association. Eleven years
later he was appointed execu.
tive secretary of the Delaware
TB group, then known as the

of the Society, Mr.. Evans spear
headed many programs which
were of direct benefit to the

Delaware Retains
High Percentage
OF Paved Roads

If one drove an automobile
over every mile of Delaware
road and every block of its
streets, he would cover approx
mately 1850 miles, or more
than one and one-half times the
distance across the United Stat
es advises the Delaware State
Development Department.
Basing its observations upon
recent report published by
the Bureau of Public Roads, u.
S. Department of Commerce,
the state information agency
points out that Delaware has
an unusually high percentage of

Of the states 668 miles of
municipal streets and 1882
miles of rural roads, only 95
miles of street and 694 miles
of rural roads are paved with
stone or gravel or oiled dirt,
and only nine miles of street
and 300 miles of rural road are
dirt with untreated surface, ac-
cording to the U. S. Govern
ment report.
Delaware statistics as taken
from the Bureau of Public Roads
report are as follows:
In the state primary system
of highways are 46O miles OF
rural roads and in the state
secondary system are 1892
miles of rural roads, making a
total of 1882 miles in the "rur-
al road" category.
! Municipal mileage in the state
includes IA miles of state pri.
mary roads and 96 miles OF
state secondary roads, giving q
total state mileage of ITO miles
of state roads within the vari.
GUS municipalities. Under local
control are 498 miles of city
streets, giving a total municipal
mileage of 668 miles.
/ The rural roads are classified
as follows: non-surfaced, 30s
miles; Stag, gravel, stone, OF
treated soil surface, 694 miles
bituminous-surfaced or maca.

By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

Capt. John Smith of Vir-

for his General Historic of

much collectors interest in
another of his books the
little seaman's dictionary he
published at about the same
time as the history.
1t first appeared in Lon
don in 1926 under the title
"An Accidence or the Path
way to Experience for all
Young Sea-men." 1t is the
second edition, however, that
is most sought by collectors.
Only about ten copies are
known to exist.
The title page of the &C.
page second edition reads,
in part:
A SEA GRAMMAR, WITH

TION OF SMITHS. Ac-
cidence for young Sea-

I have no recent sales
record, but more than 40
years ago collectors were
paying as much as SITS for
copies. If a copy were to be
unearthed today it would be
worth many times its weight

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

AUTHORITY-During his
first years in Hollywood,
where he worked as a writer,
Nunnally johnson clashed
with directors who tried to
change his scripts. Usually
the producer would have to
settle the matter. Almost
invariably he would side with
the director. Repeatedly
johnson had to swallow his
pride.
Then one day johnson be-
came a producer himself, and
was told to make a picture
from one of his scenarios.
At the first days shooting
the director tried to make
changes in the script. john
son, the writer, did not rush
to lock horns with his ad-
yersary, as he would have
done in his earlier days. But
johnson the producer went
into action.
Summoning the director to
his office, he made it clear
that the script was to be fol-
lowed to the letter. 1t was a
moment of triumph. and
johnson enjoyed it fully.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Is 1t Silly to Fear Cats?
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
friends have just about con-
vinced me that I have gone
off my rocker and need a
head-Shrinker. They laugh at
my fear of cats. Even my
sister says I can overcome
it if I try.
1t isn't funny. I break out
into a cold sweat and turn
sick in the stomach over a
little cat. What can I do
about it except stay away
from my cat-owning friends?
I really feel stupid when I
act that way. I know people
who are afraid of dogs, bugs,
mice, snakes, etc. Yet they
think I'm being silly about
catS.-C. C.
WHAT YOU SAY under
scores the fact that each one
of us is a bundle of fears
we differ only in how scared
we are and what happens to
scare us. I don't suppose it
will give you any comfort to-
know there is a name for
your anxiety-ailourophobia
And if misery loves distin-
guiShed company, you will
be proud to know that Shake
speare and Napoleon Bona
part were also afraid of
cats.
What to do? I wish I could
give you a simple remedy.
Don't be afraid to take your
problem to your family doc
tor. If he is unsympathetic
enough to think the whole
thing silly, you can always
find another doctor who will
know that fear-any kind
is no laughing matter.
Meanwhile. follow your own
suggestion: Stay away from
the homes of friends who
own cats. That's not being
silly. Anymore SO than the
asthmatic staying away from
the homes O. F~ierdS who
own dogs-if one is distinctly
allergic to dog fur.

TI'S ONE THING for a

from a veteran of Caesar

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Maybe this will bring cheer
