By NEA servic

BY NEA Service.
NEWARK, n. J.-One OF the best
members of the Newark fire depart
ment is a dog.
Rex is his name. He wears no
hero medal. but he has rescued more
people from death by fire than most
firemen.
Born in a fire house, illustrioue
son of Irish Paddy. for years noted
fire dog in Newark, Rex has an
swered more than 1000 alarms in
seven years of service at the fire
house of No. Truck in Plane
street.
Captain John Garrett, one OF Rex's
pals, says;
THAT dog knows the box numbers
as well as any of us. Sometimes he
rides on the truck, but usually he
runs to a fire under his own power
and while running to answer an
alarm he has never yet made the
wrong turn at street corner"
Rex loves fires and hates burglars,
and bootleggers. He has
rescued many people and he has
helped capture a number of Grim
inals. Once while still a pup he
went into a cellar where gunman
was holding the police at bay and
the man by leaying on him.

FOR BUSY SPRING

Contractors and builders OF this
city arc looking forward to an un-
usually busy spring, especially in
the suburban sections.
In speaking of the present outlook
one real estate dealer said:
Indications all point at the pres
ent time to increased building ac-
tivity in the spring. The first
OF March will see many build
ing operations commenced. he said,
especially in the growing sections
OF the city, north OF the Brandywine.
He said that he knew of one opera
ton to be started the first Of March
that would take in a block. The
houses, he stated would sell from
$1,000 TO $4,000.
Another dealer. when asked II
many houses were being sold at the
present time. said that there is lit
tie activity in that line just now
but inquiries are becoming more
frequent every week. THE moving
companies will have their hands full
on the first of March," he predicted
There seems TO be a good bit of
activity in the buying of sites this
year, according to another agent.
All winter people have been invest
ing in property with the view of
building in the spring.

ing to the dealers. This branch
of the business has seen little or
no activity so far this year.
Suburban real estate is very ac-
tive at the present time. Every
week new homes are started on the
sites out OF town. and the trend of
many seems to get out into the
country, away from the hustle and

STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del,
Feb. Bills aiming to amend the
motor vehicle laws in the interests
of greater safety were introduced
by Representative Holcomb today.
They are advocated, it is understood,
by the Delaware Safety Council.
Among them was a bill revising the
present method of issuing licenses.
1t divides drivers into three classes
motor vehicle Operators, paid driv-
ers and drivers of public service We
hicles, and gives the Secretary OF
State further power in the matter
of issuing licenses.
A new section is proposed to be
written into the law giving the right
of way to vehicles approaching from
the right, according to another OF
the bills.
What is regarded as an import
ant measure is the bill which would
require reports of accidents to be
made to the Secretary of State by
Justices of the Peace, operators in
volved in accidents and coroners'
and makes such reports public rec
ords. This bill. If enacted into law
would permit a record to be Kept
Of accidents throughout the state
and enable the authorities to check
mp on Z reckless drivers who have
figured in more than one accident
Another bill would increase the
penalties for driving a motor We
hicle while intoxicated The fine
for the first offense is set at from
500 to $500, with or without i'm
prisonment for not more than one
year. The fine for subsequent Of
fenses. ranges from $500 to $1,000.
and imprisonment for not less than
three months or more than one year
is obligatory. Conviction also would
make it obligatory on the state au-
thorities to revoke the license OF
such a driver for a period of one
year and stipulates that such license
shall not be granted again until the
Secretary of State is convinced that
I is proper to do so.
One of the bills is aimed to curb
he reckless driver and would re-
peal the present speed law. put
ing the burden of evidence on reck-
ess driving and also establishing a
naximum>rate of speed which shall
,e regarded az evidence OF recf-
ess driving.
Another measure defines reck
essness by pedestrians in using the
highways and makes such reckless |
less a nuisance.
Increased fines are provided for /
perating an unregistered vehicle |
nd the fine for such offence is |
laced at not less than S25 nor more !
han 500.
one Of the bills also would re-
uire the Secretary of State to eX-
mine into the safety of ppblic serv- |
re vehicles before they are regis |

Sunday Morning Fire
DEPARTMENT
SEEKS CAUSE

Fire of undetermined origin, at
Fourth and King streets, shortly
before o'clock Sunday morning,
gave the firemen plenty to do in
preventing its spreading TO adjoin-
ing properties. as the flames had
got a good start before the fire
was discovered.
The blaze originated in the store
OF Samuel Haber. on the second
floor, 4O3 King street, and while the
fire was confined to that building,
water running through into the
store of c. NJ. Celia. at the north
west corner of Fourth and King
streets, caused considerable damage.
The loss on the stock of the
Haber store will probably amount
TO $4,000; the loss on the building
is estimated at $500. Mr.. Celia said
that his loss. principally from water
soaked fruit will amount to possibly
$4,000.
Frank Hayes OF 522 East Fourth
street, who was passing Fourth and
King streets shortly after one o'clock
noticed smoke issuing from the sec
ond story Of the building and turned
in an alarm which brought Engine
Companies. !, and and Truck
Company. No ]. to the scene.
BY quick work the fremen kent
the fire confined to the second story
Of the Haber store but due to the
dense smoke IL was necessary for
them TO cut through the partition
over the Celia store to get to the
flames. The men showed their ef-
iiciency by covering material on the
ground floor with rubber blankets,
thereby saving il.
Mr.. Haber who is the heaviest
loser. told Chief Lutz and Fire
Marshal Ainscow that he had closed
the store shortly before II O'Clock /
Saturday night and could assign no (
cause for the fire.
The loss to the Celia store was
from water damaging

stored in the cellar of the building. |

To Encourage Building.
Representative McManus also in
troduced a bill providing that build
ings constructed on unimproved
lands shall be assessed by cities,
counties or towns at only one-tenth
of their assessed valuation for five
years to encourage new building and
the improvement of unimproved

Mr.. McManus presented another
bill which connects up the present
Board OF Assessment in Wilmington
with the city treasurer's office in
that city for the assessing and col
lecting of city taxes under a bill he
introduced last week abolishing the
city tax Offices. This bill authorizes
the assessment board employees to
aid in the making out OF tax bills
and the assessments list, shortens
the time for filing appeals from
April / to IS, instead all OF month OF
April as now. and gives the treas
urer's Office two weeks longer to
make out the tax bills than is now
allowed the present tax office.
