are due OF carelessness and prevent
able causes They are strong in be-
lief that II the citizens will Join
hands, the fire loss will be reduced
to very small figure, and the heavy
losses in Wilmington each year will
DC largely eliminated.
1T is the desire OF the Whining

zens on Fire Prevention Day, Octo-
Der .. give thought to the conditions
OF their own homes and business
places; to see that all fire hazards,
such as rubbish, excelsior, paper,
etc, in areaways, cellars, yards and
other places are removed; also any
faulty installations in heating and
lighting devices and apparatus are
] corrected.
III we hope to reduce our fite
losses to a reasonable figure, we
must turn our attention to Fire Pre-.
vention Day-which should bS
every day. We appeal to the citi.
zens to join with us and give Fire
Prevention day their earnest con.

said, and they turned to the left to
pass it, only TO meet another truck
coming from Wilmington.

tomorrow to organize the local Of
fee. Director general Jones also
has notified DR.. Odell that furniture
and equipment for the bureau has
been shipped from New York on or
del Of the federal government.
It is DR.. Odell's plan that the task
OF obtaining employment for Will
mington workers shall be supported
and co-operated in by all civic, relig-
ious and social bodies of the city.
only by the creation OF jobs, in his
belief. can much acute suffering be
avoided during the coming winter
months. He plans to head Off this
suffering by stimulating trade as far
as possible and arousing industrial
plants, firms and individuals to the
necessity OF doing as much now in
the building trade lines as possible.
In response to Doctor Odelrs call
for support, the Wilmington Com
munity Service has volunteered its
services in a letter signed by Charles
f. Ernst. its director. The letter
follows:
"My dear Doctor Odell:
Wilmington is to be congratu-
lated The splendid stand you have
taken on the problem OF the short
age Of work has already created
among the working people a feeling
OF optimism.
Il want you to know that the
Community Service, with its neigh
borhood associations. offers itself to
you in yodr campaign to create en-
ployment."
DR.. Oden expressed much gratih-
cation at the receipt OF this offer
and will avail himself OF It as soon
as an opportunity is afforded.
Although the employment bureau
has not yet been established, work
for five persons already has been OBJ
tained through the Service Citizens
] Positions for three carpenters and
two women seeking clerical work

NO VIOLATION
in THISCASE
Driver Was Within His Le-
gal Rights Passing Stop
ped Trolley Car
GUILTY OF NOT
HAVING LICENSE

When it was brought out that
there is a distance of more than
eight feet between the trolley tracks
on Market street and the curb sur
rounding Rodney Square, although
there is less than eight feet dis
tance between the tracks and tho
parked automobiles, Assistant City
Solicitor Green, in Municipal Court
this morning, advised Deputy Judge
Lynn that he wou'l not ask the
caurt to find Grin j. Jones guilty
OF charge uf violating the traffic
ru es in passing a t,o icy car whilc
stopped to discharge and receive
passengers
The law provides, Mr.. Green
pointed out, that where the distance
between the tracks and curb IS
greater than eight feet, automobE 8
are permitted to pass stopped cars,
while on streets where the distance
between tracks and curbs is less than
eight feet. vehicles must come to a
stop in the rear Of stopped trolley
cars.
The space between the tracks and
Rodney Square Park is greater than
eight feet, the solicitor stated, but
between the parked automobiles
about the square and the tracks the
distance is less than eight feet. He
held that Jones was within his rights
in passing the car.
Consideration is being given at
present to means OF prohibiting the
parking OF automobiles on the Mar
ket street side OF the park.
Jones was found guilty OF a
charge of operating an automobile
without an operators license and
was fined $40 and costs. He said he
was riding with his father, who has
a license, and that when his father
was unable TO see because of the
rain, he took the wheel.

feature Of which is the presentation Of

to exclude anything Objectionable has

have included two presentations Of
