HIS BACK MAY have
BROKEN IN accident

It has been learned that the auto
mobile accident that occurred on
Penny Hill last Friday night was
much more serious than at first re-
ported. Instead of three, there were
five occupants OF the machine when
it crashed into the culvert abutments
and was overturned. Howard
Crouch, of No. 1921 Highland avenue,
Chester, who was driving the ma
chine, is now at his home and it is
feared his back is broken. Mr..
Crouch was formerly proprietor Of
the st. Elmo Hotel, Philadelphia.
Those in the machine besides Mr..
Crouch were Mrs. Crouch, cut and
bruised about the face and body, in
ternal injuries; a daughter, Amanda
Crouch, - years old, cut and bruised
about the face and body; Joseph
Canavan, Fourth and Flower streets,
a brother Of Mrs. Crouch, back
sprained and minor bruises, and
Thomas Hutton, wrist sprained.
Had not the passengers in the auto
mobile been thrown out and fallen
clear OF the wreckage it is believed
all of them would have been crushed
to death under the heavy machine,
which few into the air, then turned
over and dropped not far from where
some of the people we're lying stun
ned or unconscious.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Never cook vegetables in an iron
kettle
Sugar tends to improve the texture
OF cakes.
If a cake cracks open while baking,
there is too much -four in it.
Soaking in cold water makes the
washing Of all garments much easier.
The quickest method of warming
cold plates in winter is to dip them
in hot water.
Baking soda will sweeten milk
vessels, clean brasses and is good for
dish washing.
When the nails are brittle, apply
vaseline, or hold them in warm sweet
oil every day.
When a vegetable has lost its firm
ness, soak it in very cold water. until
il is crisp and plump.
If boiling milk is poured on the
beaten eggs when making baked GUS
tard, it will bake them firm
A good test in choosing beef is to
press it with the thumb; if 1t rises
quickly, it is of good quality.
The flavor of peas will be much
improved If a dozen pea pods are
washed and cooked with them.
In making a plain omelet, IL is
better to add hot water than milk,
as it makes it much more tender.
In the sick room. it is much more
pleasant for the patient if the medi-
cine bottles are kept out of sight
Try frying FISH in fat that has
been saved from former frying; the
flavor will be very much improved.
When cutting fur. never use scis-
sors: use a razor or very sharp pen
knife to cut through the skin at the
back.
Put raisins and other small fruits
in a corn pepper when you want 70
wash them. Put them in it under the
faucet.
Boiled or roasted meat that is tc
be cut cold should be wrapped in a
clean, moist cloth. II will be more
tender.
If very light cake is put into q
quick oven, it will rise rapidly round
the sides, but leave a hollow in the
middle.
Boiled puddings should never be
turned out the moment they are done
They are very likely TO break if thi.
is done.

carriers from all sections of the state
are in attendance. While the meeting
is an annual affair, it also is the semi
annual gathering of the carriers, as
they hold another meeting in Febru-
airy, at which time officers will be
elected. The meeting today was held
to receive the report of c. H. Lane,
local delegate to the national conven-
tion, and most of the morning session
was devoted to discussion of the re-
port.
The carriers gathered in the court
room about IL o'clock and shortly
after the session was called to order
by President Frank L. Mckee, OF
Dover, Mayor Howell made an ad-
dress of welcome. The mayor said:
"Mr. President and Rural Free De-
livery Carriers: We are delighted to
have you hold your convention in this
city. The very necessary and par
ticular kind of work that you are
difficult for you to visit the city as
frequently as We would desire that
you should. At this particular time
we have an unusual amount of pleas
ure and amusement to offer you, and
trust that the work Of the conven-
ton can be so arranged as to give
you ample time to enjoy it all
1T has been but a short time since
it was a special privilege for those
not living near the cities to have the
mail carried to them, but now the
service is general and this govern
ment of ours extends the opportunity
to all communities who comply with
tie requirements.
"The people appreciate fully your
effort. The government knows ex-
actly what you are doing and they
likewise are appreciative. Even
though the compensation may not al
ways seem sufficient, you must realize
that you are representatives of the
very best department under control
of the United States. The Postoffice
Department. and anything bearing
the stamp U. S. NJ, demands the re-
spect Of the whole world. It is use
less for me to further discuss your
work and how much it is appreciated,
but on behalf of the people of Will
mington I wish to extend to you a
hearty welcome and the freedom Of
the city"
Warner T. Moore. of Harrington,
made the response to the mayors
welcoming address, in which he thank
ed the mayor for his remarks and
highly praised the city.
The session this afternoon will be
devoted to the reports OF the various
committees, and to the report Of State
Secretary Walter Ford. Postmaster
English also attended the meeting,
together with a number of members of
the local Association of Letter Car
riers.

CHILD BORN BLIND
is GIVEN SIGHT.

Daisy Vance, six years old, blind
from birth and daughter of John r.
Vance, of Camel City, can now see
for the first time in her young life.
She was a bright child, of winning
ways, and this, coupled with her blind,
helpless condition, made her an object
of sympathetic attention. Like most
children who are born blind she be-
came expert in distinguishing objects
by the sense of touch and in this way
she learned what things were.
Mr.. Vance had been told of some
wonderful things which modern sur
gerry had accomplished In the way Of
making the blind see, and three or
four weeks ago the child was taken to
the Good Samaritan hospital at Lex
ington. There she was carefully ex
amined, and it was declared that she
could be caused to see. An operation
successful. The father was notified
of the time when the bandage would
be reI.ioved from his childs eyes. OF
course he was present when this was
done, and both were overjoyed at the
success of the surgeons work. The
little one passed her hands over Mr..
Vance's face and cried, "Oh, this is my
papa!" When asked how she knew
she said, why, he feels like my papa"
Mr., Vance said he had long given
up all hope of his daughter ever be-
ing able to see, and was delighted with
the result of the surgeons skill.
