AN AUTO STOLEN FROM
IN FRONT OF A CHURCH
Car Owned by Seward Simpson Driven
Away by Thief. Who Demolished
the Car at SWANS Crossing

Automobile thieves have made their
appearance in lower Delaware and on
Sunday morning last the first autOmO-
ole theivery lever to occur in Milford
was pulled oil The thief, who came to
Milford on the Saturday evening train
and registered at the New Hotel Wind
sor under the name Of Edward NJ
Sterner, went to the Methodist Epis-
c0pal Church on Sunday morning.
Before the services were concluded,
however. he left the building. In front
of the church were a large number
of automobiles of various makes He
chose the Dodge touring car owned
by Seward Simpson, who resides at
the southern end of Walnut street. Mr..
Simpson and his family were in the
church at the time.
The man didn't even take time 10
remove the blanket from the hood of
the car. so great was his effort to make
his escape He went out South Wal,
nut street and down the State road to-
ward Lincoln. About a mile and a
half south of Milford the road turns
sharply and crosses over a narrow
causeway at SWANS old mill pond. II
IS thought that the thief was unfamiliar
with the road, for he attempted to
follow the telephone poles across the
site of the old mill pond instead Of
turning and crossing the causeway. In
doing this he turned the car over and
badly damaged it. He was uninjured.
After ascertaining that the car was
wreck. he proceeded to Lincoln
where he hired a man to drive him to
Harrington. In the meantime Mr..
Simpson had learned OF his loss and
had phoned to nearby towns. The
police at Harrington we're on the job
and picked him up when he came to
town.
Ii is said that the man confessed
that he had taken the car and that he
had hoped to meet his pal. who was
working on the western side of the
county Il is also said that a gang
Of automobile thieves are commencing
to work the Delaware-Maryland Pen
insula. Automobile owners will do
well to be on the lookout for such men.
The man was sent to Dover Jail to
await trial

also concerning the three months
nursing course at Delaware College,
asking for scholarships and loans for
orthy students.

in reference to the present educational
drive in Delaware, asking club mem
bers to write to our legislators to in

introduced Mr.. Thomas Kirby, eX-
sheriff of Kent county, who gave a

reform was so up-to-date and such an
improvement over the antiquated meth
ods OF prison management which have
prevailed so long in Delaware that his
work attracted the attention OF not
only the most eminent jurists and
prominent people in Delaware, but in
other States as well, it having been
brought to the notice of Thomas Mott

taken from the window sash of lady's
home, but the thieves HAD not removed

Milford, Del
To the Chairman:
We are very anxious that Delaware
should show by her number of Service
Badges the large amount Of work that
the State has done. For this reason
we hope that everybody in your branch
who can claim 500 hours during the
eighteen months should do so so that
your splendid support during the war
shall be thus recorded.
| send you clipping. which has the
rules in full. You may already have
sent us some names. but send us more
if YOU can. The individual record
should be given first to you. and for
warded by you in the enclosed envelope
10 Mrs. Porter. | enclose a sample
QUESTIONABLE and more will be sent
you under separate cover.
OF course, very few have any record
of the actual number of hours. but 500
hours done in the eighteen month per-
iOd would be little less than an hour
and a half a day on an average, and
as knitting is counted in, and sewing,
surgical work. influenza nursing, CAM
paign and membership work, it is quite
possible to have earned the badge in
this period. For the period of six
months to earn the stripe. however,
the number of hours required is be-
tween four and five hours a day, as
YOU will see by the rules, and only the
hard workers have done that.
Hoping that you will let Mrs. Porter
hear from your branch soon. l am,
Very sincerely yours,
Emily P. Bissell.
