X. r., Were Drawn by Horses
Interesting light on the mode of
travel in 1857 is shed by a collection
of advertisements and time tables of
the old Delaware, New Castle, Will
mington and FrenchtOwn Railroad,
presented to the Wilmington Public
Library by John Perkins, of Elkton,
Md. According to one time table, it
took a train about ten hours to make
the trip from Wilmington to SeafOrd.
Now the distnce is covered in about
three hours. Stations also were or
dered established at st. Georges and
Leipsic, but were never built. There
also was a station about three miles
from Wilmington named Harlan's.
The system had ten trains. They
were numbered and special regula-
tiOns made for each one. For in
stance, one regulation stated clearly
that Train No. shall wait for Train
No. l at crossings. In case, contin-
Ued the regulations, Train No. 8 can
not reach Smyrna by 1882 p. m, it
will keep out Of the way of Train No.
A until it becomes one hour behind its
card time. Such provisions account
for the inevitable lateness of the
trains in those days.
Rules for employees stated that en-
ginemen must sound the whistle at
all road crossways for at least ff-
teen seconds, and that no train should
pass the New Castle. junction faster
than ten miles an hour. All trains
were required to pass over the canal
bridge at st. Georges at no higher
speed than six miles an hour.
Another curious item in the collec-
tiOn is an advertisement of the New
Castle and Frenchtown Railroad
which was organized before the Del
aware Railroad. The advertisement
was issued by John d. Bird, agent
June 1, 1888. 1t bears a picture OF
the locomotive and several coaches
and informed the public tht the fare
between Frenchtown and New Castle
was 80 cents, and that the excursion
rate was so cents round trip.

INNOVATION is PLANNED
AT NATIONAL AUTO SHOWS

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The Now
York and Chicago automobile shows
Of 1926 have assumed a new mn
tionaI trade significance through the
decision Of the board Of directors Of
the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce to reserve. the first two
days 81 the shows exclusively tor
the industry. Under the new ar
rangement the shows will open Fri
day morning, January 2, In New
York and Friday morning, january
%, In Chicago, and none but recog-
nized automotive tradesmen win be
permitted to view the exhibits until
the following day when the doors
will be opened to the public at Z
o'clock Saturday night.
The innovation was recommended
by Sam Miles, veteran show manager
of the N. A. G. c., and received the
unanimous endorsement OF the board
OF directors at last weeks meeting.
It Is expected that the move will go
"a long way toward giving the ma
tional shows a new significance, as
when they attracted the pioneers in
the early days OF the industry.

something beyond its control.
The seriousness in the whole ac-
cident problem declares President

to feature this problem as ma

The A. A. A. reports that all its
affiliated clubs throughout the coun-

the Individual motorist to a con-
seriousness Of the accident problem

organizations are doing the same

are reflected in the fact that the
death rate per 10000 automobiles
registered today is only about half
the 1916 death rate.

that motorists are using more care

increase in automobile accidents is
not alarming in view OF the fact
that 100000 drivers have had less

is not in proportion to the increase
in registrations, proving beyond all
