wonder why we are SO untidy as

busy to clean up is not an excuse, for

the most tidy. To say that we are
too poor is not true, because the cost
of keeping clean is not worth men
iioning. Keeping clean is simply a
habit that the poor can develop just
as well as the rich; the busy as well
as the idle; the bad as we'll as the
good. There is no excuse for having
our streets and alleys so dirty-no
reason except sheer shiftlessness. we
might just as well call a spade a

RECKLESS DRIVERS
SMASH Two AUTOS
And Injuries Several Persons While
Racing With Another Car
Over Some Bad Roads

Reckless driving Of a large Cadillac
automobile by a boy under 16 years
old last Sunday, caused the smashing
of a Ford machine owned by William
Pierce Of Milford, and the injury Of
two or more persons. The accident
happened just beyond MillwoOd, on
the Tub Mill, late in the afternoon.
Roland Raught, Of Milton, Delaware.
had brought his mother and several
young girls to Milford, and while the
mother was calling on a relative, he
took the machine and the young wO-
men out for a drive about Milford
They went out on the worst road in
lower Kent County, the road leading
from Milford to Frederick, and the
dust was about three inches deep,
which was whirled into binding
clouds as autos passed over it. With
these conditions existing, the lad at
tempted to race with a Franklin ma
chine. which had a Pennsylvania IL
cense, and the result was a dust
screen, which prevented a view of the
road for ten feet distant. In this
cloud the boy attempted to drive on
the wrong side of the road for traffic
at a high rate of speed, and it was at
such a time the two machines came
together. The driver Of the Ford
was thrown clear Of his machine, but
fortunately sustained only a cut upon
his arm The big Cadillac machine
struck with force sufficient to throw
the small machine back, but the pow
er not being shut of. it again rush
ed upon the Ford and smashed it COM
pletely, before the engine stalled.
One of the young ladies was cut about
the face, but the others escaped in
jury. C. Chester Marshall took the
ladies' to their home in Milton that
evening, and the Cadillac is in a gar
age in Milford for repairs. 1t is
new machine and had been used only
4 few weeks. This shows the neces- I
iity that every person who is licensed
% run an automobile upon the public
highways must pass an examination
before receiving the license.
