Death Rate in State Last

PA OF DEATHS
IN WILMINGTON

Owing to the prevalence OF pneu-
monia in Wilmington at this time it
is interesting to compare the death
rate from this disease during the
past few years.
In 1920. according to statistics
made public by the State Board OF
Health, there were 377 deaths from
pneumonia in the State. OF which
PA were in Wilmington, which
makes the rate higher in Whining
ton than in the rest OF the State.
The largest number OF pneumonia
deaths in any one month in the city
OF Wilmington was SO in February.
The number gradually declined to
the low mark OF four in August. The
number OF pneumonia deaths in the
entire State during February was "a,
or one-quarter OF the total for the
year.
The death rate from pneumonia
for the State in 1920 was 169 per
100000 of population or about a
third again as high as for the entire
country. The rate among the colored
people was $40 and only 144 among
the white people. There were 20s
deaths OF males and ia OF females
Compared with previous years, the
deaths from pneumonia have been

HANNEVIG RISKS
ARE INVOLVED
Court Orders Liquidation
For Two Concerns Con-
trolled by Broker
CONTROLLED
INSURANCE COS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-The North
Atlantic Insurance Co. and the Lib
erty Marine Insurance Co. have been
taken over by Jesse r. Phillips, su-
perintendent OF insurance Of the
state OF New York. under orders OF
Judge Blur, OF the Supreme Court.
The order directed liquidating the
two companies.
This action, Mr.. Phillips explain
ed, is another result OF the bank
ruptcy proceedings started last week
against Christoffer Hannevig, who
was represented as having made a
fortune in the ship brokerage busi-
ness and having lost IL in shipbuild-
ing. He controls the Pusey & Jones
Company OF Delaware.
Mr.. Hannevig, while an executive
officer and substantially the sole
stockholder OF the two insurance
companies, Mr.. Phillips petition
states. caused to be deposited in his
private bank upwards OF t1,7OO, 600
about equally divided between the

1920. amount now to upward OF ST.
25o,oO0. The figures OF the insur-
ance examiner. Mr.. Phillips said.
showed that the companies could not
NETT obligations to policyholders
without these deposits.
The ultimate dividend to policy
holders and creditors will depend
largely, Mr.. Phillips said. upon the
outcome OF Mr.. Hannevigs suit
against the United States Shipping
Board. amounting to about s14, ,0O0.-
600. This claim is now in litigation,
Mr.. Hanevig having declined set
tiement at about $1,000. 600.
The order provided that all poll

PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.

TTNHAT higher education is appreciated in Wilmington is
Il demonstrated clearly by the growth Of the VIII
mington High School.
At the present time The enrolment is i6Oe which is
2O6 than last year
For the first time In the history OF the institution the
auditorium is too small to hold all the students
time for assembly. Il Is necessary for many boys and
girls Of the lower classes to rotate from week TO week in
assembly attendance.
One OF the encouraging signs Of such condition at the
Wilmington Hish School Is that 1t larger enroll
ments at Delaware College and the Women's College OF
Delaware, because the high school here is the chiei
~feeder for those institutions.
Suc condition also emphasizes the necessity for The
Legislature doing everything possible 10 keep the two
coeges readiness to receive the nigh school graduates

Using the Golden Rule In
Driving of Automobiles

maniac starts operations that acci-
dents occur. Tho pages of recent
history are not filled with reports
Of automobile collisions which oc-
CURED while the cars we're running
10 mites an hour. or whcn each
car was on It's respective side OF the
road, or when lights were dimmcd
while the machines passed each
other. But on tifese pages will be
found many records Of accidents
many OF them fatal--whlch were
krought about by carelessncss and
non-obseryance OF tho rules OF the
road, which rules, II observed. would
not neoessltate the presence OF traf-
fic officers at every corner.
Autos Safc-.Drivcrs Not.
Automobiles are safe--but all
drivers are not" IN the pithy ex-
pianation advanced by Chief OF
Police John A. Gustafson with re-
gard to automobile accidents. "As
lone-<ss drivers observe the laws of
common dccency and gentlemauly
courtesy. there will be no accidents.
It is the foolhardy driver who
knows It all, or who drives under
the misapprohension that he is the
causes accidents. such people arc
as dangerous as n loaded gun In the
hands OF maniac"
Chief Gustafson referred 10 the
fatal accident rf few days ago In
which n man riding n bicycle was
killed by car because the driver
was blinded by the glare from n set
OF bright lights on an oncomlng
car.
"A careful and observant driver
always dims his lights while meet
ing and passing another car" says
the chief. III the other fellow Is
not so courteous, no one can blame
the first one II he throws on his
bright lights as a matter or self
protection. But II there should be
"A pedestrian walking along the side
OF the road or a buggy or a wagon
In front OF one OF the cars. an ac-
cident is not at all improbable. Per-
haps n life will be sacrificed because
Of tho carelessness or selfishness or
lfoolhnrdiness Of some motorist."
