DELAWARE AIRMAN FALLS
TO DEATH WITH WOMAN

William Coates, of Paterson, N. J.
formerly of Greenwood, Del, and for
merly lieutenant in the United States
Army, and Mrs. John Brady of Pat
erson were killed late last Friday af-
ternoOn when an airplane in which
they were riding fell 900 feet to the
MurchiO Flying Field, at Preakness,
N. j., near Paterson. Physicians found
that every bone in their bodies had
been broken and they had probably
died instantly.
Coates, commercial pilot, demon
strating machines for the aviation
concern of Schellendorf and Kennedy,
consented to take Mrs. Brady for a
ride at the request of her husband,
who has been his friend for several
years. Coates drove the machine Ov-
er Paterson at a height of some 1000
feet and then headed back toward the
flying field. The machine was descend
ing as usual with nothing out of the
ordinary happening so far as others
could see. Coates appeared to have
perfect control of the plane when
he banked it and then a
cross wind struck it and ripped off
ped straight downward almost i'm
It fell swiftly, but not so swiftly
that the husband could not see the ter
rorized face of his wife and Coates
desperately trying to regain control
Of it. But he could do nothing with the
and broken wing and the |
plane fell with a crash, striking the |
earth with such force that the en-
zine was driven deep into the ground.
rhe bodies of Coates and Mrs. Brady
we're buried beneath the -wreckage
ind had to be dug out before they
'Ould be examined by surgeons.
Mrs. Brady was 20 years old and
vas married year ago. Coates was
tationed at Mineola during his SER
ice in the army and so far as is
nown has but one relative, a sister,
Irs. F. M. Lord, of Harrington, Del.

new AUTO LICENSE
PROTECTS OWNER
MAGISTRATES ARE PREPARING FORMS
OF CERTIFICATE In ACCORDANCE
With RECENT Law.
GOES INTO EFFECT JUNE lST
MANY SAFEGUARDS In new Law NOW
MAKE SALE OF STOLEN MACHINE
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

Magistrates are preparing new
forms of application for a certificate
of title to a motor vehicle which new
forms are required of all automobile
owners in conformity with the law
passed by the General Assembly last
winter and which goes into effect
June 1.
The new forms provide for the
name, business and home address of
the owner of the machine, a COM
plete description of the vehicle and
complete details of ownership.
The expectation is that the new
forms will do away with any possi-
bility of a stolen machine being reg
istered, or of any person purchasing
stolen machine without knowing it
has been stolen. The source of own
ership provides for the date of pur-
chase, the name of the dealer or per-
son from whom the machine was OBJ
tanned, the method of payment, the
amount of unpaid balance, and the Sc
curity given for the unpaid balance.
The penalty for a false statement is
a fine varying from $500 to $4,000 or
Imprisonment from go days to five
years or both.
All of the information must be
sworn to before notary public and
the information is filed in the Office
of the Secretary of State at Dover.
There also is space on the applica-
tiOn for the certificate of the vendor !
and of the dealer with their names
and addresses. The effect will be, it |
Is said, that every sale of an autOmo- |
bile or other motor vehicle shall be
known to public officers and tie in
formation will be on file where it can
De obtained.
To still further protect the owners
If automobiles against loss by theft
IT of being imposed upon in a sale,
! certificate of title of every machine
must be obtained from the Secretary
# State before license tags can be
'btained for motor vehicles.
After September. it shall be un-
awful to have in ones possession a
motor vehicle for which a certificate
f title has not been issued.

| the Senate for confirmation before
June Is, Governor Denney, in making
the announcement of his choice fol
the new judiciary has followed GUS
tom. Governor S. S. PenneWill twelve
years ago, made public announcement
on May 10, of the name of the new
judiciary he had decided TO appoint
on June Is. Governor Denney, it is
understood had made ZIP his mind as
to who he desired to go upon the
Bench, and felt that he might as we'll
inform the public now as. wait until
he had convened the Senate in ses-
sion to confirm his appointments.
Secretary of State A. R. Benson
made the announcement for the Gov
ernOr, who had just returned to Dover
from the DelmarVia Press Association
meeting in Salisbury, Md.
! Secretary Benson, in response to a
question, said no time had been set
for a special session of the Senate
to act on these appointments, which
require confirmation before the judges
can assume their duties. 1t is believ-
ed the special session will be called
for June Is.
Announcement of the appointments
comes as big surprise. While there
was a general feeling that Chief JUS
tice Pennewill would be appointed for
a third successive term of twelve
years as a member of the State judi
ciary, the appointment of the other
three judges was unexpected, particu-
larly that of Senator Wolcott to be
Chancellor.
OF the appOintees, Chief Justice
Pennewill and Mr.. Richards are Re-
publicans, while Senator Wolcott and !
Mr.. Harrington are Democrats.
Senator Wolcott's appointment as
Chancellor means he will retire as
United States Senator. His term as
Senator had until March 4, 1928 to
run. Governor Denney will have the
appointment of Republican as Unit
ed States Senator to- serve out the re-
of Senator Wolcott's term.
A successor to the newly appointed
Senator would have to. be elected in
1923.
There is sentimental side to the
of Senator WOlcott to
)e Chancellor. His father, James L. y
was prominent as ChanceI-
or of Delaware, and it is intimated !
y friends of the Senator that he al t
ways has cherished the idea of fill l
ng the judicial Office in which his I
ather had served the State. I
Judge William H. Boyce, Democrat, 9
resident Judge of Kent county, who {
5 to retire in June, has served two
erms of twelve years each, on the c
ench. Chancellor Charles M. Curtis, Il
and Judge Henry C. Con- c
ad, Republican, Resident Judge of v
ussex county, who are to retire, have I
erved one term of twelve years. G
The salary of the Chief Justice and L
hancellor is $500 year, and of the Il
ssociate Judges $1,000 year.

BUY A POPPY!

Mrs. VIM. C. Speakman. of VIII.
mlngton, head of the American-Fran-
co Children's League, came to Mil
ford on Saturday last, in the interest
OF the Leagues Poppy Campaign. The
sale of the French poppies had been
moving rather slowly in Kent and
Sussex counties and Mrs. Speakman
Ielt that it would never do to have
delaware, the State in which the
league was founded and Incorporated.
IaI1 Dehlnd her sisters in this work,
whose object is to bring about a bet
Ter understanding between America
ana france, particularly through the
children of both countries. France
ana America have always been friends
and we wish to cement this friend
ship.
A word of explanation regarding
tnls sale of poppies may not be amiss,
In the first place, it is absolutely not
a money-making scheme. These flow
ers are made by French women and
children and are bought by Americans
at a very slight advance over the cost
OF production. All profits go into
fund for the care of American Sol
dlers' graves in France-in apprecia-
tlon OF the debt France owes to these
boys who gave their lives for her.
In May and June the fields Of |
Southern France, where so many bat |
ties, ancient and modern, were fought, |
are mass of flaming red poppies-
Sprung from the blood in the soil,"
the people will tell you. And now,
since our American boys have been
laid to sleep there, "the poppies are
a deeper red!" the imaginative French
say.
So the poppy has become the sol
1ler's emblem. Wear the red flower in
memory of our heroes on Memorial
Day.

DANCING AT DOVER ARMORY

There will be music every evening
during Carnival Week from nine until
twelve by Martindale's Orchestra. The
beauty of these ArmOry dances is
that one may dance as many times as

need only pay for the dances he takes.
1t will cost but ten cents for one
dance (and if you're good for an en-
core) then the floor is cleared and
when the music begins again it costs
another dime for each couple. On May
Both there will be special music as
Mr. Martindale has promised three ex-
ira musicians in his orchestra for the

SALAMON'S START
GREAT WHITE WAY

One of the largest electric signs in
Imperial Valley will be illuminated
tomorrow night for the first time on
the roof of the B. Solomon & Com
pany store. The sign is the first big
metropolitan advertising sign to be
erected in the valley and it's size and
location will make it readily legible
from the end of the San Diego-El
Centre highway at the city limits.
A merchandise sale of more than
ordinary interest is being inaugural
ed in connection with the operation
of the sign and the department heads
of the store have promised number
of lines of goods at less than cost.
The big electric sign, the start of
the Great White Way in Ell Centro,
is but another mark of enterprise on
the part of Salamon and Company,
always leaders in modern and up-to-
date ideas in advertising, and it is an
innovation that will probably be fol-
lowed by many other enterprising
merchants in the city.

veloped in a few years anyway and all
the incident hardships would have been
entirely escaped.
The farmers carrying and controll-
ing the entire crop, until it is needed
for immediate consumption, will have
a very definite tendency to relieve the
cotton world of the danger of under
production. For it is obvious that so
long as he does not control the move
ment and the price, big surplus at
once becomes factor that reacts very
definitely on the amount that is pro-
duced, as the effect of the surplus this
year is very striking evidence.
The fact that the south was sud-
denly responsible for the enormous
losses caused by damage during the
last year. The change means, there
fore, that there must be very great
extension in the warehouse facilities
of this country. AS a matter of fact,
preparation for just that sort of thing
is now going forward very rapidly.
Among other things the government
licensing system is adding very mate
rally to the practical value of these
warehouses as factor in our economic
life.
The agitation going on among the
farmers over the matter of co-opera-
tive marketing is another feature
which marks the evolution toward this
common end. l firmly believe not
many years in the future will find the
south housing and financing an entire
cotton crop without its seriously dis
turbing the equipoise of prices, or Sc
riously affecting the volume produced.
