What is known as the "June Drop
of fruit from the orchards is now TAX
ing place, and it will be the cause of
many assertions that the entire crop
of peaches and apples in Delaware
will be a partial failure as a result
of this thinning out process of nature.
The curculio and other enemies of the
fruit are more to be feared than the
dropping of fruit at this particular
time. Just now is the period when
trees should be sprayed for the cur
culio--but the heavy rainfall has made
that work impossible and useless.
Spraying cannot be effective in rain
falls-as the solutions used are wash
ed from the leaves and trees without

The Country Fair will be with Us
again this year and some innovations
are promised, especially a rousing
Fourth with the setting off of a dis
play of fireworks. Independent of the
Century Club women, it is well %

prospect is Smyrna will attend to this
feature of the Fair with more than
usual enthusiasm. Since it has been

Apparently large number of mo-
torists in Delaware have made up
their minds that they will be compell-
ed to pay tax of one cent per gal
Ion on gasoline as decreed by Secre-
tary of State A. r. Benson and Josiah
Marvel. "If there must be a tax on
gasoline" comments The Delawarean,
"why not cut the cost of licenses for
cars and trucks to a nominal figure
and collect the motor tax on gasoline.
Maryland has asserted, through the
chairman of the State Highway Com
mission of that State, that it is the
intention of that State to do just this.
The Commission figures that a tax
on gasoline would meet the situation
because the man who most used the
roads would pay the highest tax
Such plan is fair, but to tax the
automobile owners a big sum for H.
censes to run their cars and then ado
another tax on gasoline is unfair and
the motorist should arise and pro.
test"

RARE MIRAGE OFF CAPE MAY
Lewes and RehObOth Could Be Dis
tinctly Seen With The Naked Eve

Hundreds of people were attracted
to the boardwalk at Cape May, N. j.,
Thursday, to view a mirage. Lewes
Is miles across Delaware Bay, could
be seen plainly, and Rehoboth, several
miles below, could be seen with the
naked eye. Delaware Bay and River
pilots say that such a mirage is very
rare. For several days the fog off the
Delaware Capes has been the worst
in years. Seagoing men say that this
accounts for the mirage.

There should be no scarcity of
teachers the coming year in Delaware
or any of the states, if reports coming
from our bigger institutions of learn

Judging by reports from various

Under the auspices of the American
Railway Association, the railroad
arrangements of the country are en-
tering upon an intensive campaign for
the purpose of securing the interest
and cooperation of the people in eff
forts by the railroads to make their
service as free from accidents as pos
sible. The summer season, with its
large increase in railroad traffic and
its increase in vehicular traffic over
highways, especially pleasure traffic,
makes the grade crossing danger more
threatening than at other seasons.
And it always is imminent, even with
the utmost care that may be exercised
by both sides.
Even with the greatest precautions
that may be put forth by the rail
roads, their efforts frequently are nui-
lifted by the recklessness of far too
many users of the public highways.
1t is amazing how some drivers of cars
will deliberately invite the danger IF
death or serious injury merely for the
purpose of saving a minute or two of
time in crossing the tracks of a rail
road. These reckless ones seem to
lose all sense of risk and virtually
take in their own hands their own
lives and the lives of those riding with
them.
The grade crossing is ever danger
Gus, no matter how it may be guarded.
All the important railroad lines are
giving serious attention to the subject
of its elimination, but this work is
necessarily slow, and grade crossings
will remain in many places for years
to come. 1t is essential, therefore,
that those whose purposes of pleasure
or business require them to use high
ways traversed by railroad lines ex-
ercise care and caution every time
they approach one of these danger
spots. 1t is their duty to do this, as
well as the duty of the railroads to
make the crossings as safe as possible
Nearly half a century ago the Su-
perior Court of Delaware for New
Castle county, in the hearing of az
action for damages resulting from {
railroad train striking a carriage
which was being driven across the
tracks at Newport-with two fatal
ties resulting-emphatically set fortI
the duty of all who drive across tn,
tracks of railroad to exercise du,
care and precaution for the avoidanc,
of accident. In this decision the cour
Imposed upon drivers of vehicles il
these Circumstances the pertinent in
junction to "StOp! Look! Listen!
This precaution, the court held, wa
essential to the establishment of
sound claim for damages in the even
of accident, failure to do so being hel
as contnbutory negligence. And tina
decision, we believe, holds good to thi
day.
There should be no lack of co-oE
Grafton between railroad managemer
and those who travel in public, esp,
cially in these days of the enormou
employment Of motor vehicles fC
pleasure and business purposes. Tl
railroads are doing their part. Let IL
people do theirs.-Every Evening.

Mr.. Levy said - was necessary for

trading was necessary in order 70 con
