In exploring unknown parts OF the

the aviators. A few days ago, / read
that famous French airman drove
his airplane through the air at a speed
of l10 - miles an hour. We are all
familiar with our own American Air

between England and the Continent OF
Europe. Some OF our. colleges have
classes in aviation. ] don't know
whether we will ever be able TO make

flelent work and protection Of the
splendid stone roads as well as keep
ing travel open"
During the storm there was very
high tide at Red Lion bridge The
tide washed over the causeway, caus-
ing the snow and water TO form one
solid bed Of ice several feet thiok. When
Supervisor George w. Burris and his
road clearing gang arrived at the
bridge they found a knOtty problem.
But the men worked with a determine
ton, while half ton cakes OF the frozen
material went overheard. In a few
hours The dangerous and impossible
causeway was cleared.
Commissioner McCay in whose dis
trict there were several blocked roads,
was in Wilmington on Saturday. He
met Contractor Mcdowell who earned
a big bonus last fall by building tho
road from Cooch's Bridge TO Glasgow
in record time.
"HOw did my new road stand up in
the storm. Boyd" asked Mr.. Mcdowell
"Oh - answered Mr.. McCay, you built
that new road so fast NJ never had
time TO cool off and as fast as the snow
fell, It melted. AL" The cigars were on
the contractor.
County Engineer Grubb the other
day took photographs Of the snow
banks along the road near Mt Pleasant.
While the banks had settled number
OF feet, yet in places they were higher
than an automobile going through the
Grand Canyon"

Following the recent snow storm, the
newspaper failed to chronicle the fact
that it was Of gigantic proportions and
filed county roads to a depth of twelve
feet. But such was the fact and if
cost New Castle County nearly $1,000
TO reopen The roads.
The storm was freaky in many sec

filed from hedge 10 hedge were one
from TyhOuts Corner to Red Lion
causeway and towards Delaware City
roads near Delaware City and Port
Penn from Mt. Pleasant toward Glss-
gov. Boyd's Corner to MI. Pleasant and
Middletown towards odessa.
Two weeks before the storm, COun-
ty Engineer Charles Z. Grub sum
m0ned road supervisors TO a conference
in this city and for one hour instructed
the men wnat to do in case Of a heavy
snow, and blocked highways. When the
snow storm filed the roads from hedge

himself in high terms regarding the

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need of
having sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
