There is a law prohibiting the sale of liquor now. but there is no law against giv ing it except in the case of a minor mi'ler 17 years of age, explained the judiciary, who further explained that it was also unlawful for any person to cive cr sell cigarettes or any other form of tobacco to a minor under 17 years of age. and if an officer saw a pprson under this age smoking or ii.-'u tobacco it was his duty to as fitain how he came in possession of " and swear out a-warrant for the l" Tson who sold or gave it to him, or even aided him in getting it.

Numbers of people are laboring un der the delusion that the revenue bill recently passed in Washington auto matically kills the stamp act that has caused stamps to be placed on deeds, express receipts, telegrams and num bers of articles. ThisJmpression is wrong, according to Senator Simmons, who stated that the bill passed did not affect the stamp act in any way whatsoever. The senator stated that the stamp act was a separate bill and the finance committee took no action at all in the recent session of Con gress. The stamp act was put into ef fect December, 1914. and will continue in force, unless changed by the next Congress, until the last day of 1916. Numbers of corporations were un der the impression that the stamp act was repealed and it is stated that in a number of cases that these corpora tions have ordered their agencies to stop affixing the stamps to documents and the like. recuperating. GAS SYSTEM TO DE EXTENDED, TO SEND EXPERT HERE. Sunset Park Residents Will Be Able to Connect With City. It has been announced that a con tract has been closed between the Tidewater Power Company and the Fidelity Trust and Development Com pany that assures gas connections for the residents of Sunset Park. This will be the final connecting of all suburbs to the gas plant in the city. Already the ether suburbs have the connection and the link ing dp of Sunset Park is the final step toward furnishing gas to all of the outlying districts. The contract provides for a high pressure system of gas and all con nections and the work will begin on the extension at once. The pipe will be extended from Third and Green States in the past eigh teen months have come from Norway. Shipping shares on the stock ex changes, under these circumstances, 1-ave had a boom unparalleled in all history. .They have jumped hun dreds of points in a day and instead of selling in the tens of crowns are now selling in iho thousands. Ships values have increased about four fold. The Norwegians have also reaned enormous profits from fish, the price of herring and fish oils having shown increases as high as 600 per cent. The biggest profits came from Ger many of course, but now under a trade agreement with Great Britain the Eng lish have first option on the Norweg ian output at limited prices. Despite the fortunes already made in Scandinavian there are stories of still greater ones that might be made . If anyone for instance could get a cargo of bacon for Germany through the English blockade and through the Scandinavian restrictions of export, it is said he could retire as a million- ATUANT1C COAST LING The Standard Railroad of The South EXCURSION FARES From Wilmington OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

The country in which the cave oc curs is a series of lava beds and the cave is a lava formation. There are no stalactites or staglagmites and Mr. Spofford suggests that the ice forma tions are - due to seepage water that has frozen. Ice is present all year.
