Smyrna which had won four base
ball contests straight from Dover dur

took both games played. A large
crowd of rooters accompanied the Do

three runs in the third inning. Smyr-

ice by scoring four runs in the sixth.
The closest Smyrna could get to tying
the score after that inning, was to
score one run in the eighth. Both
teams had their batting eyes with
them and a total of thirty-two hits
were made.

The State Highway Police of Della

against the road hog, speed fiend and
reckless driver of automobiles. This
is absolutely necessary for the protec-
tion of the thousands of automobiles
who daily use the roads of the Dia-
mond State. Those who abuse the
privilege of driving a car on the nigh
ways, should be brought before the
proper authorities and this privilege
taken from them. In line with this
thought an article which will appear
in September's Popular Mechanics
Magazine is timely and of interest.
The writer of the article says:
"Time was, not so very long ago,
when thousands of men were crippled
or killed while coupling freight cars.
1t was considered unavoidable. Cir
cular saws, planers, took their annual
toll in lives and limbs. 1t, too, was
unavoidable" With the perfection
of motor vehicles came high-powered,
quickly responsive engines, and the
natural impulse of most people, es-
pecially the younger, to travel faster
and faster. To one who reduces his
auto speed from 35 to 40 miles an
hour to 20 it seems as if he were bare
ly moving; yet his car is travelling
29 feet a second. Even an active alert
person does not go very far in five
seconds, but the car, if unchecked,
will have gone $50 feet. With the de-
mand for speed ability in a car, manu-
facturers increased performances, un.
til now even a priced car is
guaranteed to do its 60 or so miles an
hour, and some, 80 or 100 miles. With
improved roads also came the temDta-
tion to "step on it." However, rate
of speed is relative thing, for AZ
times and places 40 miles an hour is
safer to the public than 20 miles q
few hours later. The earlier restric-
tions as to speed have therefore, wise
ly, been revised in many cities and
states, and especially outside corpor-
ate limits, to read "at safe rate II
speed"
"The ordinary passenger train does
not average over 40 miles an hour
and its engineer must have several
years of careful training, and posses;
certain abilities of judgment and skill
before he is entrusted with a train
yet practically any one with at least
one good eye is permitted to drive al
auto. An hour or two is sufficient U
master the shifting of gears and ap
ply the brake; but by no means al
drivers have the necessary alertnes
of decision in an emergency, and 9th
ers are careless, Indifferent, or pre-
occupied. Hence, with nearly min
million automobiles and hundreds o
thousands of motor trucks, we nov
have a condition where more peopl
are killed every year by motor cars i
a single city than are killed by all tn
railroads in the United States.
"Coroners' juries, police and othe
courts, have been so lenient, imposin
.at the most fine Of a few dollar
that the death rate is increasing h
leaps and bounds. Something has
be done to check the unnecessal
slaughter. In New York State Il
penalty for inexcusable driving is no
the curtailment or revocation of Il
offenders license to drive-a car. A
ready this year $500 drivers licens
have been cancelled; some for a fe
weeks, others for six months or ye
and some forever. Massachusetts h
also started on the same policy, a
other states would do well to follc
without delay. There is no injusti
