BOWERS BEACH

The last weekend was a repetition OF
the former one in the matter of visitors
on that occasion. But it was conceded by
many that were in position to form con-
ciuslon that there were even more peo-
pie and automobiles here on the last oc-
caslon than on any former one.
All the motor boats were brought into
commission, hundred or more, and that
was not enough to accommodate the fish
1ans, as many of them had to content
themselves with the afternoon trip out
on Sunday or remain over until Monday.
Which many did.
On Sunday morning an aeroplane call
ed the Blue Bird" came on the scene and
landed at the mouth of Murderkill river.
Inc plane was quite an attraction to the
many OF the Sunday visitors and joy rid
ers who remained and operated from that
point the greater part of the day, taking
out many for an air spin. The plane left
IN IN the afternoon for parts unknown to
the writer.
There are many here at this time who
are taking in the fishing and are having
good success in their choice sport, while
the catches are not as large as a rule, as
: few weeks past, but the fish run to
large size and that kind of trout are
becoming more numerous.

AUTOMOBLEs AND Pedestrians
Prepared by the Delaware Safety
Council.
NO law prohibitg pedestrian

No law prohibits pedestrians
1 from using the streets. In fact
pedestrians have equal rights on the
streets with automobiles and other
vehicles. Just because some pedes-
TRANS use the streets needlessly and
lncaut1Ously, there is no excuse for
the drivers of motor vehicles not TAX
ing every precaution to avoid injur-
ing pedestrians. Pedestrians outnum-
Der drivers by about 10 to l, and if the
drivers as a rule become too careless,
pedestrians can pass (or cause to be
passed laws that so restrict the use
of motor vehicles that their efficient
operation would no longer be possible.
We as drivers can think of many laws
that if enacted and enforced could
limit the movement Of the pedestrian,
but until such laws are passed we
must remember that the law is usual
ly on the side of the pedestrian.
. Automobile drivers must be es-
& pecially careful to avoid injuring
pedestrians who cross the street at
the middle of the block.
Many accidents happen at regular
- crossings. If pedestrians do not
or will not pay attention to your
horn, remember that some people are
deaf, while others are mentally de-
ficient, and that hundreds Of people
are using the streets whose old age,
youth, infrmities and physical de-
fects would throw all the RESPONSE
bility of an accident upon you.
Be especially careful when two or
4 more people are crossing the
street together. Quite often before an
approaching automobile one person |
may stop, or they may separate and go |
in opposite directions.
Above all, do not unnecessarily or |
y suddenly squawk your horn. Pc
destrians may be easily frightened and !
temporarily "parlyzed"
G Drivers should stop 10 feet be-
v hind street cars, which have stop
ped to load or unload passengers. In
some cities where there are safety
zones, automobiles are permitted to
pass standing cars if they do so slow
ly and at least feet from the side Of
The car.
7 People who have just alighted
from trolley car some times are
oewildered and do not know which
way to go. Give them plenty of time
% get their bearings before attempt
ng to pass them.
. Regardless Of who you think is at |
, fault, if your car Injuries or kills S
ome other person you are usually /
leld responsible. Juries are inclined
o be sympathetic toward and favor
he pedestrian. ,
! Moreover, no matter who was to
blame, and in spite Of large sums
f money paid for damages" the
lead cannot be brought to life, nor
ould anything or anybody console
on in case the one killed happened to
e your wife, your child, or some one
lse near and dear to you.

FEW AWARE OF NEW
MOTOR SPEED LAWS
State Highway Police Instructed to
Strictly Enforce Their Provisions.

Many residents are unaware that
the last session of the legislature
passed an amendment to the automo-
bile laws which increased the penalty
for speeding or reckless driving. The
section of the law in question is
known as Chapter 6 of the revised
code, section 2O9 and reads as fol-
lows:
mo person shall operate a motor
vehicle upon any public street or
highway of the State recklessly or at
rate of speed greater than is reason
able and proper, having regard to the
width, traffic, and use of the street or
highway, the intersection of streets
or highways and weather conditions,
the weight of the vehicle and the
condition of its brakes, or so as to
have caused collision with the per-
son or property Of another, or so as
to endanger the life or limb of an
other. Any person who shall violate
any Of the provisions of this section
shall be fined not less than $25 nor
more than $100, or be imprisoned not
more than thirty days, or both, for
the first Ofense, and for each subse-
quent Ofense shall be fined not less
than $1OO nor more than 5000, or be
imprisoned not more than one year,
or both.
"If the rate Of speed of a motor
vehicle operated on any public street
OF highway within this State exceeds
thirty-fVe miles an hour for a dis
tance of one-quarter of a mile, or if
such rate of speed exceeds twenty
i've miles an hour for one-quarter of
1 mile through the thickly settled
portion of any town or city where the
buildings average for such distance
less than one hundred feet apart,
such rate Of speed shall be deemed
)rima facie evidence that the person
operating such motor vehicle is oper-
lting the same in violation of the pro-
7isiOns of this section.
eff the rate of speed Of any COM
nercial motor vehicle not equipped
With pneumatic tires exceeds the rate Z
# twenty miles per hour on any street
# highway, or eight miles per hour
N any movable bridge, it shall be
rhine facie evidence of a violation of
be provisions of this section"
Captain A. Ahlquist, in charge Of
he State Highway Police, has in
tructed the officers thoroughly on
his amendment and ordered them to
ee that the law is respected and up

BEAUTY SPOT MADE MocKERY
Honeymoon Island, In the Pacific

ties Of a Convict Station.

that honeymoon couples who pass the
first month Of their married life there
are certain TO enjoy lasting happiness.
Apart from the legend ii would he an
ideal place for honeymoon. for Ii has
been called the most beautiful spot
on earth. This earthly paradise start
ed its career as a convict station. The
history of those early days Is a tale
of horror. Ruins Of the famous silent
cells" are still to be seen. These cells.
mude Of concrete. four feet thick, were
lust large enough to enable min 10
stand up or lie down. On the wahs
can be seen the prayers carved by COLI
yicts. Known as ''the tombs," the 81
lent cells provided the worst form or
punishment. and those confined In
them rarely came out sane. Hardly
day passed without a murder taking
place. and the convicts became worse
than savages. Some even became cam
nibals. There are only eight families
on the island. Money Is very scarce.
The islanders. however. are entirely
self-supporting, and have everything
they. need, as well as q number OF
iuxuries. The island has Its own gov

WARNS FARMERS
AGAINST TAKERS
Hog Contract Takers are New Kind
and Poultry Supply SINNERS
Still Busy

a new kind of f1y-by-night pro-
| n,,,ion sch..m, las been wor ed in
Eastern stats, l.; tice of which has
just been received by the Extension
Service of the State College of Wash
ington. Undoubtedly these new takers
will reach Washington, because Colo
RADIO farmers have been warned by
their extension service that they have
arrived in that state.
The salesman approaches farmer
and offers to sell a Drs.od sow or gilt
at $3.50 and buy back the sow and
pigs at SIS each. The note of the
farmer is taken for $3.50 and imme-
diately discounted at a local bank.
The contract is frequently not part
of the note and is hedged about by
such limitations that the promoter
does not come thru with his purchase.
Farmers should realize that there
are plenty of reputable livestock
breeders in the state who will sell
purebred gifts of good quality at a
lower price than this who make good
on their guarantee.
Another scheme is being worked
is that of poultry supply firm label
ing itself estate Poultry association"
The statesmen for this firm visit a
farmer and give him, the impression
that they are representatives Of a
state poultry association. They dis
cuss his flock with him and eventual
| ly get around to sell him poultry sup
plies. If he buys, they give him a
membership card in the Estate Poultry
association" so-called which entities
him to bulletins on poultry subjects.
The evident purpose is to secure the
prestige of an association of breeders,
themselves, for purely commercial
proposition. This so-called associa-
ton is not composed Of breeders at all
but is q commercial firm making mon
ey out Of sales of poultry supplies.
Look out for these two fakes.
