LACK OF GAS
FOILS PLANS
AUTO THIEVES

1t is believed that q nearly empty
gasoline tank was the only thing that
enabled Vivian A. Cameron OF %
Capitol street to recover his touring
car. stolen from his garage some time
after 10 o'clock wednesday night and
found Thursday morning. unhurt, at
the end of upper Capitol street, near
the edge Of Gannett's woods.
Mr.. Cameron discovered that his
car had been stolen Thursday morn
ing upon going to his garage at the
rear of the house. The lock had been
broken, and the car, with new auto
mobile robe had been taken. A new
tire, near the car IN the garage. was
untouched.
1t is believed the theft was the
work of two or more persons as the
car was probably rolled down the
driveway so that the noise Of the
motor starting would not awake the
occupants of the house. A steep en-
bankment right at the door of the
garage would make It almost impos-
sible for one person to roll the car
away alone.
The car was a Ford, equipped with
new tires on all four wheels. When
1t was put away, the gasoline was
practically all used up, and II is be-
lieved that lack of Juice" and fear
Of being identified if they tried to MI

to abandon the machine at the edge
Of Ganeston Park. The machine was
not hurt In any way, and the robe
was left in the tonneau

Reckless Speeding
on City's Hills
Must Be Stoned

This reckless driving Of automo-
biles up Rines hill and Cony hill must
stop" said City Marshall James G.
Mckenney Thursday afternoon. a
pedestrian crossing Water street at
either the top or bottom of Rines Hill
takes his life in his hands every time
he attempts to cross the road. There
is another thing, too that is bad-a
truck or machine coming out from
the Maine Central Railroad freight
yard at the foot of Rines hill hasn't a
chance in the world because of the
mad rush Of automobiles in both di-
rections"
Things are just as bad on Cony
hill. and the way some machines go
whizZing up the grade is a. menace to
life and property. 1t is especially bad
on this hill because of the young
people on their way to and from Cony
High, and other east side schools.
? I'VE have given number of warn
| ings lately, and are through with that
sort Of procedure. From now on,
drivers who attempt to speed up
their machines on Rines hill or Cony
hill arc going to be arrested and
| brought into court-and the chances
are that they will draw good stiff
fines"

BUSINESS MEN MAY
HAVE CREDIT CLUB

Much interest is being shown by
Wilmington business men in the pro-
posed organization Of credit mems
club. The movement was launched
about two weeks ago at a dinner
given under the ausuices Of the
Philadelphia Credit Mems Associa-
tion. Wilmington men favor an in
dependent club instead OF an anlia-
tion with the Philadelphia associa-
tion, which has been suggested.
A committee on membership is
visiting local bankers, merchants and
captains of industry to secure their
support OF the club proposal. Ac-
cording to members OF the local
committee the club will be launched
soon with a representative member
ship.
Something like $50 banking and
business men, as well as representa-
tives OF the city's big industries, are
eligible for membership. one of the
objects Of the proposed club is to
bring into closer personal touch busi-
ness men who mutually would profit
from ready exchange of information
