In this part of Delaware we have
neither a track1ess trolley" or any mod

trackless roads since the heavy rains of
January set in. What roads not quag-
1nires, are covered with water. and can
not be distinguished from other misera-
BILE highways. Delaware in this spot
certainly needs better roads.

regarding Italy's stupendous eartn

dead AMI injured in the Abruz1 alone
is 10000, without including the Sora
district.
San Atolio has 200 dead and 500 in
iured; Norma, 1900 dead Canistro
500 injured: Cervaro, geo victims
Borgo, so dead, and Valleroveto' lS-O
dead.
It is semi-oflcially estimated that
there are still $4,000 bodies buried
under the fallen walls of Avezzano
Rescuers believe that there are still
many alive beneath the ruins, and ne
roie efforts are being made to rescue
them. Eighteen persons were taken
out alive after three days imprison.
ment in the ruins.
Earthquake shocks still continue al
Sora, and the authorities declare that
there is not a single house in the
town that is safe. Fully 1000 victims
are buried in the debris, and the au'
thorities declare slight shocks con
tinue, causing destruction OF unsate
walls in the districts where the earth
cuol,e did the greatest damage. No
