STAG BINDER
USELESS In ROADS
Levy Court Comes to This
Conclusion After Examining
Sample Highway

Stag binder in road work is a fall
ure so far as demonstrated in New
Castle county according TO members
Of the Levy Court. Last year the
Delaware Automobile Association re-
quested the Levy Court to try Stag
binder on a piece Of new road. The
claim was advanced that the Stag was
cheaper than trap rock screenings
and would bond better and not ny
away. When the Telegraph road
was built to the Maryland line a
piece of the road was covered with
Stag. The Stag was specially prepared
and extra care was given in its lay
ing. The work was done under the
supervision of an expert from Wash
ington.
The members Of the Levy Court in
spected the road yesterday and found
the Stag binder a failure. II did not
remain compart and the broken stone
beneath it soon oozed through the
binder and the worst piece of road in
that section near Newark is the re-
suit The contractor will now have
to cover the road with a binder Of
trap rock screenings.
The members of the Levy Court
went from Newark TO the Roseville
bridge and then went to Batton's mill
in Pencader hundred, where the road
at the mill dam is I'm bad condition.

DR.. L. H. BALL ESCAPES
AS TRAIN WRECKS AUTO
Leaped From Machine and
Was Uninjured as Loco
motive Crashes Into it
at Kiamensi Crossing
DOG REMAINED IN
CAR AND UNHURT

DR.. L. Heisler Ball, Of Falkland,
former United States Senator, and
Samuel Dale. who is employed by him,
had narrow escape from death at
1.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. when
a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad train
struck the doctors automobile at kia-
mensi. The machine was demolished
and left a wreck in a ditch. but DR..
Ball and Dale leaped before the ma
chine was struck and were unhurt.
The accident occurred at a crossing
in Kiamensi, a short distance above
the station. There is no wstchman
at the grade crossing there. Or. Ball
had been at a consultation with Dr.
Francis l.. Springer in Kiamensi, and
he and Dale were riding homeward
The road passes through a cut and
is flanked by thick trees clear up TO
the railroad tracks.
DIR. Ball and Dale heard no whistle
nor did they hear the train, the
o'clock passenger from Wilmington,
approaching.
The automobile was being driven by
DR.. Ball and was running slowly, and
the front wheels were upon the tracks
when Dr. Ball saw the train but twen-
ty feet away. The train had slacken-
ed speed to approach Kiamensi sta
ton for a stop.
DR.. Ball put on the brakes and he
and Dale leaped out just as the loco
motive struck the front of the auto.
It was carried along for about twenty
feet and then was shunted down an
embankment into a ditch. The auto
did not upset, but the front part Of it
was crushed in and ruined.
Dr. Ball and Dale did not receive
a scratch. A surprising feature of the
accident is that Billy" DR.. Balls
dog that accompanies him on trips
through the country, was on the back
seat Of the auto and remained there.
When the car landed in the ditch
BILLY" was on all fours on the back
seat, and wagging his tail and bark
ing.
DIT. Ball left the automobile in the
ditch and he and Dale made their way
| homeward. Dr. Ball was attending
to his practice as usual today. The
car was hauled from the ditch yes
