SAFETY COUNCIL HEAD
DISCUSSES ROAD SPEED
Continued from first pagel

ence to the establishment Of a high
minimum speed. If traffic safety
would be aided by the establish
ment of such a minimum it is certain
that the report would have contained
such a recommendation.
High speed is not necessarily an
evidence of reckless driving. Seventy
miles an hour is a safe speed under
certain conditions and fifteen miles
per hour is an unsafe speed under
another set of conditions. 1t is not
possible to fix arbitrarily a speed
which is safe speed under all con-
ditions. The Delaware speed regu-
latiOns correspond in general TO the
Hoover Conference report which
says: Regulation of speed Of Vehi-
cles should be directed primarily at
reckless driving. 1t should be
unlawful to operate a motor vehicle
at a speed greater than is reasonable
and proper, having regard for the
traffic and use of the highway, or
so as to endanger the life, limb, or
property of any person. In rural
areas, instead of an absolute speed
limit, it should be provided that
when any vehicle exceed 35 miles !
per hour that speed shall be prima |
facie evidence of recklessness and it |
shall be incumbent upon the oper- |
atOr to prove affirmatively the reas- |
Onableness of such greater speed
''The City and State Police are en-
forcing this law and the support |
which the officers are receiving from
the courts and magistrates is very
gratifying. Not a single motor We
hicle fatality occurred in the city Of
Wilmington during the month of
June. This is an encouraging sign
and we believe is due in a partial
measure to the effectiveness of the
traffic police and court cooperation.
Indeed we must go back six months
to January to find month as free
from motor vehicle fatalities. And it
should be remembered that June is
a month Of heavy traffic. Only %
injuries were recorded in
June as against Al in the previous
month. 1t will be interesting to
watch Rhode Islands experience
with the 35 mile per hour minimum
regulation. We are reminded of the
fact that both Cleveland and Pitts
burgh have had to back down on
heir increased speed regulations.
experience was particu-
arly disastrous and resulted in an
abnormal number of traffic deaths.
It is poor brand of economics
which eliminates the necessity for
new roads at the expense of citi- {
ems lives"

throughout the country. According
to the estimate by Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Blair, the first
date for the opening Of the records
will be September 1.
Commissioner Blair this week sent
to all internal revenue officers a
syllabus of the decision of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court in the
newspaper test case. which follows:
"The legislative intent in Section
257 (b) of the Revenue act Of 1924
was that the names and addresses
Of taxpayers and the amounts paid
by them should be generally known
and therefore that the effective form
of secondary publicity by publica-
ton in newspapers should not be
penalized.
"This information, which every
body is at liberty to acquire and the
acquisition Of which Congress SEEM
ed especially desirous of facilitating,
cannot be regarded otherwise as the
pOssessors Of it may choose.
"To the extent as provided by
Section 257 (b), i. e. as to names and
addresses of taxpayers and the
amounts Of income tax paid by
them, Congress meant to abandon
the policy of secrecy altogether and
to exclude from the operation of
Section 1857 R. S. (SectiOn 1913 Of

cities in 1922 was 100000 compar-
ed to 2,075,000 in 1924, a slight in
crease. The gross movement back
to the farms in 1922 was $4,000
compared to 100000 in 1924, a very
decided increase. The net movement
from farms to cities in 1922 was l.
100000 or S.6 per cent and in 1924,
$4,000 or % per cent.
Two geographic divisions, the New
England and South Atlantic States,
showed a net increase in farm popu-
latiOn for the year 1924, of g per
cent and 2 per cent, respectively.
All other divisions showed decreases
the Mountain States leading with
a loss of 2.8 per cent.
The decrease in farm population
due to the cityward movement, not
taking into account births or deaths,
was highest in the Mountain States
4.3 per cent, followed by the Pacific
and West South Central States. In
all other divisions, except New Eng
land, the percentage of decrease due
to the cityward movement was
equal to or less than the average for
the whole United States, % per
cent. New England alone showed a
gain Of g per cent, since more peo-
pie moved from cities to New Eng
land farms than left farms for cit
les.
The movement from farms to cit
les was found to be at the highest
rate in the Mountain States, 1873 per
cent, followed by the Pacific, New
Middle Atlantic, and East
North Central States in order. In the
to farms from cities, the
Mountain States again lead, with 9.5 |

mended by Director Cranston for his
observation.
The embargo placed on the ship
ment of food stuffs into the quaran-
tined district, has not worked the
hardship many had thought would
ensue. This was shown when a
trucker of Queenstown, Nd, arrived
in the wholesale markets of Will
mington with a truck loaded with
green string beans. The grower was
unable to find a buyer and he started
hOmeward. After travelling Is miles,
he was greeted by an inspector who
demanded a permit. 1t was neces-
sary for the trucker to return to OBJ
tain a permit before he could cart
his load Of produce home.
This clearly indicated that the
markets were well supplied with

Restaurant Proprietor's Testimony
In an effort to fix the origin of the
blaze. county attorney Frank South
ard presented thirteen witnesses
among whom was Alfred Y. Tong,
proprietor of the Young China res
taurant situated just to the north of
the Porter Shoe store where the fire
is alleged by the state to have had
it's origin. Mr.. Tong testified that
he was working in the kitchen which
was situated in the basement of the
structure and had been there all the
evening. About 1920 that night he
heard a waitress cry Fire" and he
ran up stairs to tell her that there
was none. Just then there was an
explosion and he hurried back to the
basement to save a sum of money
which he had there. He was unable
to do so and was forced to jump out
Of the back window so quickly did
the building fill with smoke and the
flames spread. He lost $500 In one
hundred dollar bills which he had in
the room where he slept. He had
heard some one saving wood In the

the store.
Chief Small testified that in the
corners of the lower store against
the partition which separates 1t
from the furnace room he found
piles OF wood ashes in which were
remnants of pieces of light boar1s
which he thought might have been
packing cases. The floor around
these piles Of. ashes was burned
much more than in other, places. He
had seen no evidence that the fire
started around the furnace or the
electric wiring. When he arrived at

Simple Way to Get
Rid of BI1ckhe0dS

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid Of
blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces Of calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
a little on a hot. wet cloth-rub over
the blackheads briskly-wash the
parts and you will be surprised how
the blackheads have disappeared. Big
blackheads. little blackheads, no mat
ter where they are, simply dissolve
and disappear. Blackheads are sim
ply mixture of dust and dirt and Sc
cretions that form in the pores of the

water dissolve the blackheads so they
wash right out. leaving the pores free
and clean and in their natural condi-
