stolen cars and try to hold down the
mounting insurance rates. While all
agree on the necessity for united ac-
tiOn and uniform laws, conflicting in
terests prevent an agreement. After
all the discussion, expert opinion has
been reduced to two we'll defined pro-
posals. These are:
A Federal law of standardization
and regulation which will make steal
ing motors more difficult.
Uniform State laws, adopted by the
commonwealth, so that bordering
States have the same regulations. This
would be in effect much the same as
Federal law.
Federal and State officials generally

measure. Many automobile associa-
tions favor State regulation and feaI

MILFORD MAN MEETS DEATH
James F. Anderson, Aged so, Was Ac-
cidentally Killed at Rehoboth

James F. Anderson, of Milford, who
was spending the summer at Reho-
both, was instantly killed Tuesday ev-
ening, when an old revolver, which
he was cleaning, was accidentally dis
charged, sending a bullet through his
brain. He was in his 80th year. He
was born January 5, 1843. Mr.. An
derson, who had been staying with his
son, Daniel G. Anderson, at the lat
ter's cottage, had been disturbed for
several nights past, it is said, by mys-
terious noises. Early Tuesday evening
he secured an old revolver and decid-
ed to clean it and keep it on hand in
order that he might be prepared in the
event of intrusion by providers.
The Anderson family was sitting in
a downstairs room of the cottage,
talking, when they were terrified to
hear a shot. They hurried upstairs
and found Mr.. Anderson lying on the
! floor, with the revolver and the rags
and oil, which he had been using to
clean it, lying beside him.
DR.. Bartram of the Beebe Hospital
was summoned. Upon his arrival he
found that Mr.. Anderson was dead
and declared that death had most like
ly been instantaneous, the bullet hav-
ingl passed through his brain. A cor.
oner's jury met Wednesday morning
in the case and rendered verdict o1
death by accident.
Mr.. Anderson for many years own
ed and operated a nursery known as
the Pullen-Anderson fruit nurseries
He was an active Republican and ser
we'd as deputy revenue collector fol
that district some years ago. For sew
eral years he was secretary of the Mil
ford Light and Water Commission ant
was instrumental in securing the i'm
provements in the Milford plant. H
was appointed secretary of the Mil
ford Building and Loan Association
and served in that capacity until re
tired from active work. He had bee
making his home in the General Toh
ert residence at Milford, which he pun
chased eight years ago.
Mr.. Anderson is survived by thre
children, James Hall Anderson,
prominent attorney of Dover; Dani,
Goodwin Anderson, real estate opei
ator Of Rehoboth and Mrs. Sara N
Price Of Philadelphia.

DIVISION Of MARKETS WORKS
BETTER MARKET FOR FARMERS
W. T. DERRICKSON, CHIEF OF BU-
REAU EXPLAINS OPERATIONS
Tells Members and Friends of Dover
Rotary Club What New Department
of State Agriculture is Doing

Rotary Club What New Department
of State Agriculture is Doing
The work of Division of Markets
was explained to the members of the
Dover Rotary Club at their regular
weekly meeting in the Capitol hotel
on Tuesday evening by w. I. Der
rickson who is chief of the Bureau.
The Delaware State Division of mark
cts which is controlled by the State
Board of Agriculture was established
in April last and is working in con-
junction with the Bureau of Markets
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Similar organizations
have been established in other States
for a number of years. Standardiza-
ton of grades and packages is receiv-
ing the greatest amount of attention
from the division at this time. There
are now seventy-siX different sizes of
packages or hampers in use through
out the United States and it is the aim
of the Division of Markets to have the
number reduced to five, namely, half
bushel, bushel, bushel and half and
two bushel with an extra size two
bushel.
According to Mr.. Derrickson, the
Standardization of grades is receiving
special attention here in an effort to
create a wider market for Delaware
products. 1t is the plan of the Divi-
sion of Markets to have all fruit grad
ed strictly as to their size and quality
The large fruit growers have adopted
this system and have it in effect so the
Division has turned their attention t.
the smaller growers.
Furnishing daily market reports il
another feature of the Divisions worl
which has proven especially helpful
to the smaller growers. Each morn
ing at the office of the Division il
Dover, reports are received from al
of the large markets in the East. Il
addition to giving the prevailing
prices, this report furnishes informa
tion regarding the number of cars o.

MOTOR PIRACY is GROWING
Crooked Garage Owner King Pin of
Auto Stealing '1ndustry"-44
Autos Stolen in State

AUTOS SlOlen III Otdte
With a record last year of 100000
motor cars stolen, and consequent
loss of approximately one hundred
million dollars, with recoveries aver
aging less than fifty per cent, and in
some localities dropping down to
twenty per cent, and with constantly
increasing number of cars stolen each
month, motor piracy has come to be
one of the worst crimes of modern
times. No part of the country is i'm
mune from motor piracy, rural cross
roads being as unsafe as crowded city
street corners.
nsWilmington, fourty-four motor
cars were reported stolen between
March l and July l, the police figures
showing IL in March, 5 in April, IA in
May, and Ia in June. Of these, 21 had
been recovered up to July Z. This does
not include cars stolen but not report
ed. Such a record shows A stealings
in months, or at the rate of 176 cars
a year. For the sake of comparison,
should the recoveries per year aver
age fifty per cent, the total losses on
cars, figuring them as $1,000 each,
would be $SS,0O0.
New York City is reported to lead
the world in cars stolen, with 5000 for
1921, less than half of which were re-
covered. Many of these cars were
burned, destroyed, or run overboard,i in
order to collect the insurance.
Crooked Garage Prime Agent
"The crooked garage, or automobile
fence, is the prime agent in auto
thefts," remarked a representative OF
a firm of automobile underwriters to
newspaper representative. "lf the
market for stolen cars is destroyed
the business falls to the ground.
I "Most any one can steal car as
they are lying around everywhere; the
problem is to dispose of it. Conse-

of auto crooks, as one might suppose
but the petty auto thief brings in his
car to the crooked garage, and gets
perhaps 500 for his work.
