A Federal Aid project to be
undertaken by the Delaware
Board of Game and Fish Com
missioners under the Federal
Governm ent's Accelerated

ted by the various States and
a study of the needs for ex-
panded projects in several
areas, resulted in $23, ,850more

These funds are part of a
direct action program estab-
lished by the Federal Govern
ment to reduce unemployment
In certain areas throughout the
United States, and are the first
to be appropriated by Congress
directly for State fish andwild-
life projects. They are to be
spent In distressed areas to
fill public needs and to provide
local employment.
The project, the second under
the program in Delaware, will
involve reconstruction of dam
at Silver Lake in the Town of
Milford. Federal funds in the
amount of $4,000 and State
funds In the amount of $l6, 900
will be spent on this project

disappeared from washington. A little more
than year later, in August, 1859, her body was
found in the California High Sierras A con
man named Larry Lord Motherwell was found
guilty of her murder, and is now serving
time
Let's admit at once that most men are
likely to lie to women they are wooing, perhaps
just to make an impression, to build them
selves up to be little bit bigger and better
than life size. This is a relatively harmless
form of deception, if it doesn't depart too far
from the truth. But there is another liar who is
an artist at lying and that is the ICON man." His
lies are told to extract money from women vic
tins, and he uses super-soft touch.
The search for romance dies hard in wom-
en-. Age is no barrier to a belief in Prince
Charming. No one understands this better than
con man. His stock in trade is an infinite un.
derStanding of wOmen-their weakness for
flattery and attention, and the wish to feel
cared for and protected. He supplies these in
gradients in heaping quantities until he has
parted his victim from her money. Then he is
cold, selfish and ruthless, and vanishes with
out backward look or kind word.
When the Putney murder broke in the
press, series of pathetic histories CON-
menced to come to me by mail, by phone and
by word of mouth. They came from variety of
sources. Some we're told by the victims them
selves, others came from their families or
friends. Trust officers of banks told me of their
familiarity with the problem, of infatuated,
overcredulous widows trying to break trusts
set up to safeguard them financially. Law en-
fOrcement agencies furnished accounts of
cases of defrauded women
One fact stood out Few of the victims had
called in the law. The answer was simple. 1t
was far easier for woman to swallow a none
tary loss, even a substantial one, than her
pride if she confessed to being dupe.
One woman wrote: 81 know many cultured
women whose judgment is good in every other
way and still they are longing for one of these
charmerS"
Another wrote of a con man: HE could
stand and make beautiful prayer in church"
A friend remarked regretfully that she
would never be wooed by one because she had
no money!
Some areas seem to be more fertile fields
than others for con men, although no town or
city is free of the species. A southern Cali
fornia authority said of con men: I'VE have
them coming out of our ears" Florida, too, with
bumper crop of well-heeled widows, is a
happy hunting ground. Washington, D. c., with
the anonymity Of people coming and going as
change, offers an easy entree
for reasonable man.
