Philadelphia-Th winds that blow
in Northern Alaska are to be harness
ed to light up the long polar night
in the cause of religion. To this end
announcement was made today that
Right Rev. P. T. Rowe, bishop of the
diocese of Alaska has authorized DR..
w. E. S. Temple, head of the cleo
trical engineering department of the
University of Pennsylvania, to de-
sign and build an electric light plant,
operated by a windmill, for the use
of the Episcopal mission at Point
Hope, Alaska Point Hope is more
than 100 miles north of the Arctic
circle, where the polar night con-
tinues several months each year.
Bishop Rowe, on a recent visit to
Philadelphia, said that the wind We
locity at Point Hope is rarely below
20 miles an hour and that it averages
approximately 25 miles. The tenn
perature during the Winter months
ranges from 95 to So degrees below
zero.
The ideal of installing such plant
at the mission, where there are 400
inhabitants, originated, it is said,
with the Rev. A. R. Hoare, who is
in charge of the mission.

thinks Glenn is real gentleman, and
is deserving of the highest common

well down the sunset side of life and
the thoughtfulness of Mr.. Can pbell
and his unobtusiveness in assisting

Why don't our grape growers get
busy and have grape Juice factory
here. No section Of Delaware has a
larger acreage than tne smyrna-Clay-
ton district and with a total of nearly
GOO acres in vineyard as against 800

organize a local company or induce

a fine thing for our growers. Il would
do away with providing fancy car

become an important industry for our

ward the establishing Of a Smyrna

Editorial Opinion
COMMISSIONER OK
RIGHT TRACK.

From the Salisbury News.
Reports through the daily press
are to the effect that Automobile
Commissioner Rowe has determined
to break up the reckless driving Of
automobiles in Maryland. Last week
he rescinded the license OF two dri-
vers in Baltimore and one In Talbot
county. In the latter case II was that
of the owner of the machine. Mr..
Rowe says he is determined that the
people who operate automobiles in
Maryland shall live up to the
speed law as well as to the local laws
governing the operation Of machines,
and that wherever his attention is
called to the reckless driving Of ma
chimes in any part Of the state, and
the cases can be proven. he VIII take
away the license of the car and put
It permanently out OF business.
We are glad to see that Commis-
sioner Rowe is alive 10 this most Inn
portant question. Automobiles are
getting so numerous in all sections Of
the state, and there is such a large
percentage of reckless drivers that IL
is necessary TO the protection Of the
life and limb of the average citizen
that something must be done to teach
these reckless drivers that the public
has some rights as well as the auto
mobiles, and that the use of the streets
and highways are not alone for the
automobiles.
Commissioner Rowe will send out
his inspectors all over the state dur
ing the next few weeks. and take a
survey Of the entire situation. Each
town and community will be visited
and the conditions sized up TO see Just
how the automobile law is being lived
up to. Salisbury will be a productive
field for these inspectors, and a visit
OF few days here might result in the
iessening of the speed mania in many
cases. Salisbury has not been without
her automobile accidents and q little
| jackine-up from the commissioner
may result in much good in this COM
munity and save life for the future.
