and congratulated on the work he had

UNHURT WHEN CAR OvERTURNS
Five HuddIed in Auto as 1t Lands
With Wheels Upward

Friday, the 13th's most unusual
local accident, occurred on Blackbird
Hill on the dupont Boulevard when a
Hudson touring car on its way to Will
mington, overturned with all four
wheels in the air and only one of the
cars five occupants was injured. The
injured member of the party was a
woman. She sustained a few scratch
es on her face. The car was driven
by H. S. Todd, aged 68, of Salisbury,
Md, who with four other persons, was
enroute to Canada. The accident hap
pened when another car darted out
from in back of motor truck which
was going south on Blackbird Hill.
The car bore down on the machine
driven by Mr.. Todd. A collision was
avoided when Mr.. Todd swerved his
automobile off the pike into the mud
dy side road. The Todd car overturn-
ed and rested on its top with its four
wheels in the air. ROyden c. Caulk,
of Caulk's Store at Blackbird, and
other witnesses, rescued the party
from underneath the overturned ma
chine and it was found that only one
member of the party had been injured
and then only slightly. Mr.. Todd and
his party were taken to Wilmington
by Mr.. Caulk in his car. Later the
overturned car was righted and taken
to a Wilmington garage where it was
found that only the top had been
slightly damaged. The car was re-
paired and Mr.. Todd and his party re-
sumed their trip to Canada last night.

Colonel and Mrs. Lincoln Cut and
Bruised When Car Overturns at
TVbOut'S Corner Delaware Cifv


TybOut's Corner, Delaware City
Colonel and Mrs. Francis R. Lincoln
Of Washington, D. c., narrowly es-
capped serious injury at Tybout's Cor
ner Saturday afternoon when their
auto and another car cOllided on the
State highway. Colonel and Mrs.
Lincoln were coming from the Bear
Station road, and when crossing the
State highway at Tybout's Corner on
their way to Delaware City, their car
was struck by Ford touring car
coming down the State road. The Ford
struck Colonel Lincoln's car in the
rear, and did considerable damage TO
the machine. The impact turned the
car around and knocked it over into
the ditch on the far side of the road.
The Ford car bore a Pennsylvania
license and carried five men passen-
gers. 1t was completely demolished.
The top was crushed, the steering
wheel broken, the wheels torn off, and
the windshield knocked out. 1t was

severely injured. Mrs Lincoln was
thrown under the car, and escaped
with a few bruises. Colonel Lincoln
was slightly cut by glass. Several oc-
cupants of the Ford were cut in the
face and hands by glass. Colonel

has been detailed to the training camp
He was going to Delaware City to
spend the night with Mrs. Charles w.

main while the Colonel is at camp.

BUILDING FINELY APPOINTED
Has Every Facility For Class Room
instruction and Public Gatherings


The new building is one of the larg-
est and most completely equipped
schools in the State. 1t was author
lied by a referendum vote held in the
district on January 10, 1921. The
new plant cost approximately $780,
600 Of which S165,OOO was spent in
the erection of the building proper,
and $4,000 in its equipment. The
site, which comprises about ten acres,
was purchased at a cost of approx
mately $4,000. Of the total cost the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
tiOn, administering the Pierre S. du-
POnt Educational Fund, contributed
$4,000, the remainder was raised by
bond issue on the district. Ground
was broken in September, 1922, and
the building was ready for school pur-
poses May 1, 1924. The plans and
specifications were drawn by James
o. Betelle, of Gilbert and Betelle,
Newark, N. ]. The construction was
supervised by E. NJ. Henderer, of Do
yer, A. J. Taylor, of the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association, serving
in the capacity of chief engineer.
Alfred L. Hudson, of Smyrna, was the
contractor. Walter c. Keen, con-
tractor of Wilmington, did most of
the brick work; Lowe Brothers, con-
tractors of Wilmington, did the plast-
ering and interior cement work; 7. 7.
Weldon, of Wilmington, did the heat
ing, plumbing and ventilating work;
John C. Mannering, of Smyrna, did
the painting and decorating. The
furnishing was done mostly by N.
Snellenburg & Company, of Philadel-
phia. The concrete walks were done
by A. L. Hudson, who employed local
cement workers. The building ac-
commodities the junior and senior
grades Of the high school and all
grades above the seventh. The build

CLASS OF Is RECEIVE HONOR
MENTION At NEW HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT ENDS WITH
PRAISE FOR PROGRAM GIVEN
First Class to Graduate From New
Building and the Fact 1t Was One
of the Largest, Gave Impetus


The Week of Commencement Ex-
ercises at Smyrna Special District
High School is over and on every
hand there is praise not only for the
talent Of the class displayed but for
Supt. c. w. w. Schantz and his ex-
cellent corps of teachers. 1t was the
first class to graduate from Smyrna's
handsome new school building and
needless to say the new auditorium
and annex was packed to its seating
capacity with fully 700 people. That
the public was pleased at the fact of
having a school auditorium on the
ground floor instead of the old Opera
House, with its climbing stairs, was
everywhere apparent. 1t was a real
joy and pleasure. The stage, with
its new curtain was modestly decorat-
ed with flowers. The graduating class
in new caps and gowns of gray in
stead of black, occupied the stage
with the School Board and members
of the Faculty. Supt. c. w. Schantz
had charge of the program. Rev. ].
]. Bunting offered the invocation fol-
lowed with a musical selection by
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph J. Smith from the
overture, "Orpheus." David c. Lloyd,
salutatorian, extended greetings and
gave a fine oration on "The Finished
Product" More music by Smiths Or
chestra, and then Miss Elizabeth
Thornley,, valedictorian, talked on
"Our immigration Problem" and gave
the customary farewell for the
class. The complete class roll who
received diplomas at the hands of
President Walter o. HOffecker of the
School Board, was as follows:
