ENFORCING AUTOMOBILE LAWS

Signs are shown of a desire to en-
force the laws regulating driving au-
tomObiles and speed on the highways,
by the police of the local towns. One
of the most dangerous things about
driving of automobiles after dark, is
the entire lack of lights, or having
less than the required number Of
lights. 1t is dangerous as well as con-
fusing to others, when meeting an au-
to with only one head light. Ignoring
traffic rules is another Offense which
the police must stop. 1t is dangerous,
especially to children, crossing the
street. The Board of Education pur-
pose to get the number of every au-
tomObile or truck driver, who runs
beyond a reasonable speed in the
blocks approaching the public schools,
or thru the main streets used by the
children and ask that such drivers be
fined heavy-not few dOllars-but
fine of twenty or more
dollars for such Offense. The life of
a child-possibly your own child-is
worth more than the good will of
fool automobile driver. This is a fam
warning to one and all. Read the
signs cautioning against driving near
schools and the hospital. Then obey
the request-and save your money.

REAL MILFORD BOOSTERS
SHOULD BOOST CHAUTAUOUA

At the close of the weeks entertain
ment last year practically everyone in
the Chautauqua tent voted by a ris-
ing vote that Chautauqua was a real
success. One hundred and twenty of
the most enthusiastic signed their
names to the guarantors contract for
the year 1921. For the two weeks past
twenty-five public-spirited women
have been calling on the people of
Milford trying 10 sell season tickets
for this years Chautauqua with
rather poor success.
Lets all get together and put this
Chautauqua over with every man do
ing his part, so we can feel that Mil
ford has just as much civic pride as
any other town in the State Just
boost Milford for 4 day or two-by
selling Chautauqua tickets to your
friends and neighbors. Tickets will be
on sale at Bratten's Red Star Drug
Store, Pettyjohn's Pharmacy, Hart's
Sweet Shop, D. G. Collins grocery, r.
A. DerricksOn, and Thomas Davis.
Please remember that the sale of
season tickets closes at 1 p. m. Satur-
day, September 10th.

PALACE THEATRE REOPENED
WITH MANY IMPROVEMENTS

The Palace Theatre in Milford was
re-opened by the new management
last Friday evening with an excellent
program. The remodeled theatre,
! which has been greatly enlarged and
pleasingly decorated, is under the
management of George NJ. Schwartz,
who is affiliated with the Nixon-Niyd-
linger interests. The pictures for the
amusement house are booked very
largely through the Stanley Company
of America, and is said to be under
the control of the Stanley interests.
The large new organ which the
owners purpose installing in the thea
tire has not arrived from the builders
as yet, but it is expected that it will
be ready for installation within the
next few weeks. The theatre will be
provided with modern Ventilating
system. This will be installed within
a few weeks. 1t is now here, but has
not been put in place. The floor COW
erings have not been put down. This
the management state will be done
Immediately. When these three addi-
tiOns have been made the remodelled
Palace Theatre will be one of the
most beautiful and comfortable in
lower Delaware. The pictures shown
at the Palace this week have been eX-
cellent. A large advertisement Civ
ing the program for next week will
be found on the last page of the
Chronicle this week and every week
in the future advertisements will ap-
pear, giving full programs for the
week following.

COLORED CHICKEN
THIEF NOW in JAIL

CHICKENS FROM PEOPLE In MIL
FORD-CEDAR CREEK DIST.

Last July two farmers just north
of Milford discovered a dearborn load
of their poultry in possession of Wal
ter PettyjOhn, a medium sized, black,
niger, with long record of poultry
thieving behind him. He has also
record as a horse thief and other
crimes to the good to help him drag
a long term sentence from the court.
The farmers last July gave chase to
Walter and he got sufficient speed
from his old horse to distance the
pursuers, making his escape at that
time~> towards the western section
leading to Harrington and had not
been located by the police until last
week, when he returned to Milford
and attempted to keep quiet. officer
Courtney got the trail and made it so
hot for Walter, that he cOmmandeered
horse and buggy on the streets of
Milford from an unwilling owner, and
again escaped to Glendale, where the
officers again rounded him up. He was
brought to Milford and given a hear
ing on the charge of stealing chick
ems, to which he pleaded guilty. Es-

Walter Pettyjohn has stolen be-
tween 800 and 1000 chickens from peo-
pie. in Milford district during the past
few years, in addition to the long rec
ord of years when he operated at
other points. He stole a horse about
seven years ago and was convicted.
In addition to the present charge of
chickens, he has to face an
other charge-driving off without con-
sent of the owner, a horse and car

THE CARNIVAL NEWS

One of the big stunts at the carni-
val this year will be the contribution
from the farmers of the community
They will contribute chickens fol
what will be known as the Blue Hens
Chicken Booth.
The canvas for the chickens is be-
ing carried on under the leadership
of a committee of three members of
the Carlisle Fire Company, c. D.
Holzmueller, Walter Grier and Vaules
Grier. They have enlisted as helpers
numerous members of the associate
roll of the company and if the. re-
suits achieved so far are any criter-
ion-the farmers donation will out
rank any booth at the carnival. Only
two farmers up to date have refused
outright to donate to the booth.
Two years ago the Carlisle Fire
Company discontinued the charge
made for country calls, feeling that
the farmers would take more interest
in the welfare of the organization if
they were considered part of the
company, and allowed to contribute
to the up-keep, as do the townspeople.
The results of the farm products
booth last year at the carnival proved
concl1sively that the farmer would
do his part under any and all condi-
tions. So look out for your chickens
Mr.. Farmer the Firemen are on the
way.
All contributions are to be deliver
ed at the Old Grange Hall, now oc-
cupied by Harry E. Lindells grain ex-
change on September Is, 16 or II.
"A careful record will be kept of
each contributor and contribution.
Lets all cooperate and make the car
niYal a huge success.

LARGE CROWDS AT CIRCUS

Two capacity audiences greeted the
Walter L. Main circus which showed
in this city yesterday afternoon and
evening. Extra seating accommoda-
tions were made at both performances
to take care of the large number of
people. Many from nearby towns
came in automobiles and by train to
attend the show.
At both the afternoon and evening
shows straw and canvas were placed
at one end of the tent to, accomuO-
date the overflow. The general opin-
ion of the people attending was that
the show was good. The acts were new
and varied and greatly enjoyed. The
FlOrin Martinesque troop in balanc-
ing act were unusually good. The
male member of the troop balanced a
table, three chairs and a couch on his
forehead dt one time and walked up
and down high ladder. The Morales
Mexican rope walkers and acrobats,
also pleased. together with the Greg
orie family, clever gymnasts. The
show carried several good outside at
fractions, including sideshow.-The

DAYOFPRAYER FOR SCHOOLS
LOCAL PASTORS APPROVES SUGGESTION
OFNATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.

As~next Sabbath is generally OBJ
served throughout the country by
churches of all denominations as the
day of prayer for schools, there will
be appropriate exercises at the Ave
nue. M. E. Church and Rev. Disston
w. Jacobs will preach at 10 a. m. on
the subject, Education" p. m, "Our
Youth"
A Sabbath in September has been
annually designated as the day of
prayer for schools, since the sug-
gestiOn was first made by DR.. James
S. Martin, general superintendent of
the National Reform Association,
twenty years ago. Various ecclesiasti-
cal bodies including the highest courts
of many evangelical churches have
warmly approved the observance of
such a day early in September when
the youth of the land are gathering in
public and private schools to begin
the work of the fall term.
Besides these attending school
while living at home, there are tens
of thousands of young men and wo-
men who are about to leave home for
college or professional school. 1t is
appropriate that these young
people, who are to be the future lead
ers of America, should have special
recognition and prayer at the time
when home ties are being severed
and new associations which will mould
their character are being formed.
Not only is the time of the year re-
garded as appropriate but just now
the public mind is deeply concerned
over youthful delinquency and crime,
the disruption of homes by divorce
with consequent moral loss to the
children and by lax morals among
The young.
1t is therefore felt by the pastors
1f the churches that thoughtful peo-
pie should unite in prayer for the
youth of the land and in efforts to
secure the daily use of the Bible in
I'll our schools as antidotes to youth
ul wrong doing.
Pupils, parents and school officials
Ire especially invited to attend the
services at Avenue M. E. Church next

SATISFACTORY ENDING !
. OF MISUNDERSTANDING
AFTER A FULL DISCUSSION OF MATTERS
A STATEMENTtWAS ISSUED WHICH
WAS In HARMONY WITH ALL.
NO DESIRES TO ENCROACH
DR.. ODELL STATED THAT HIS BOARD
HAD NO DESIRE TO INTERFERE WITH :
STATE BOARD POWERS.

The State Board of Education held
an all-day session in Dover Septem-
Der 1st, the greater part of the morn
ing session being taken up in a con-
ference with DR.. ]. H. Odell of the
Delaware School Auxiliary, relative
to the apparent recent misunderstand-
ing between the two organizations.
After a full discussion of the matters,
a statement was issued which was
satisfactory to all parties concerned,
and relationships between the two as
sociatiOns were apparently restored.
Inasmuch as there. was no final un-
derstanding between the State Board
of Education and the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association when the pres
ent State Board Of Education took
office July l, 1921, certain matters
were left undetermined which embar-
rassed both the State Board and the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
tiOn.
At the meeting of the State Board
of Education, full understanding was
had as to the relationship which ex-
listed between these two organiza-
tiOns.
Dr.. Odell, representing the Della
ware School Auxiliary Association,
stated that his board had neither the
intention nor the desire to encrOach
upon any of the functions or powers
of the State Board of Education, but
only to offer such assistance as would
enable the/State Board of Education
to fulfil its official functions more
successfully.
Therefore, in conference, it was de-
cided to establish a relationship on
the above terms and to proceed with
such work as could be undertaken for
the benefit of the educational facili-
ties of Delaware as though there had
been no misunderstanding.
The transportation question was
left to the superintendent of public /
instruction and business manager, J.
L. Adams, with power to act.
The matter of additional help for
the business manager was left left to
the discretion of the superintendent
of public instruction.
A resolution was adopted by the
board that the secretary send a copy
of the method suggestions for CO.
operation to the Red Cross, Child We'll |
fare, Service Citizens and Delaware
Societies for medi-
cal inspection of school children,
with the request that they report to
the board at its next meeting.
The board adjourned to meet Fri
day, September 8, at 8 o'clock.

CITY TREASURER BREAKS JAW

John H. Roach, treasurer of the
Town of Milford for many years past,
had his jaw bone broken in two places
on Sunday night last, as the result of
fall. He had been to the bayshOre
with some friends looking over a new
cunning and fishing cottage he is hav-
ing erected at the bayshore when the
accident happened. None of his
friends saw the accident when he fell
and he was not able to talk or tell
how it happened. DR.. J. Lynn Pratt
examined the broken jaw and decid-
ed that it would be necessary for the
service Of-a most expert surgeon to
so arrange the break that it would
give the best results in the future
so he took him to the Pennsylvania
University on the midnight train from
Harrington.
The jaw bone is broken in two
places-on each side of the chin and
drops down without artificial support.
Mr.. Roach is 63 years old. and one
of the most likeable men in Milford
being kindly towards everybody and
generous to fault. For several years
he has been suffering from inflama-
tory rheumatism, but otherwise was
in good health. The latest reports of
his condition are favorable.
