RAILROADS MAKE new
RECORDS This YEAR
High Marks This Season For
Freight Car LOadings And
Movements.

Operating with the greatest econ
omy and efficiency in history, ten
new operating records were estab-
lished in 1925 by the railroads of
this country in handling the largest
freight traffic that has ever been
offered to them by the shippers of
the United States, according to u
report for the year, made public on
Monday.
The greatest freight traffic in his
tory, measured by the number OF
cars loaded with revenue freight,
was carried by the railroads of this
country.
This enormous traffic was handled
with practically no car shortage or
transportation difficulties, there
having been at all times no less
than 100000 surplus freight cars
and 4200 surplus locomotives in SER
viceable condition.
The greatest freight traffic for
any month on record was carried
by the railroads in October when it
amounted to 44,061, ,9S8,OO0 net ton
miles, exceeding by % per cent.
the previous high record made in
October, 1924.
Reaching a total of 1,124,436 cars,
the number of cars loaded with rev.
enue freight for the week ended on
August 20 was the greatest for any
one week on record, exceeding by
1901 cars or IL per cent. the pre-
vious high record made during the
week of October "a, 1924.
The average daily movement of
all freight cars in October was 1922
miles, which exceeded by one and
half miles the previous high record.
Loading of merchandise and mis-
cellaneOus freight, including less
than carload lot freight, was the
greatest during the year on record,
exceeding by more than two mil
lion cars the high record of one
year ago.
The railroads on Wednesday, Sep
tember 80, moved 1,090,693 freight |
cars, the greatest number for any
one day in history. This included |
both loaded and empty freight cars.
The average load of freight per
train for the month of August was |
796 tons, the highest ever attained, |
being an increase of twenty-six tons |
over the previous record made in
October, 1924.
Railroad taxes, including federal,
state and local, amounted to $780,
100000 in 1925, the highest for any
one year on record. This was an
of nearly one million dol
lars per day.

DRIVERS RECORD WILL
BE WATCHED CLOSELY
New License Cards Will Show If
Man Has Been Convicted Of
Drunken Driving.

Drunken motor drivers who dur
ing the past twelve months have had
their licenses revoked and who at
tempt to get new license cards by
applying to magistrates will not find
it an easy thing to escape further
punishment and being deprived of
driving car legally, according to
the preparations which Titling Of
ficer PrOuse has made.
During the past year nearly 500
persons, convicted of operating mo-
tor cars while intoxicated have been
penalized. If the time limit has ex-
pired on their penalty the new card
they will get for 1926 from the
Highway Commission, will have
punched on it, a mark indicating
that they have been penalyzed for
driving while drunk. If the time
limit has not been reached, then
they will not get a new license card
until the penalty has expired.
This is the reason why magis-
trates must forward to the State
Highway Commission at Dover all
drivers license cards so that the de-
partment can check up with their
files the records of every Delaware
man, woman or child operating
car.
AS a result of this arrangement
which is new this year, those seek
ing drivers license cards should ap-
ply now and not put off until the
end of the year. 1t requires time
to mail the cards to Dover and also
more time for the department clerks
to look up the number and name in
the card index system. and still
more time to mail the old cards
with the new ones back to their des-
tinations. And the mails are heavy
with extra Christmas packages and
letters and cards, so that it might
require a week to make the check
up and issue the new license cards.
The urgency for attending to this
matter early, is because the High
way Commission is not going to
break any disregard of the traffic
laws. The Commission has announ-
ced that it will allow five days lee
way, or until January for anyone
who drives a car to obtain new
license card. The Commission has
also notified its police department
to examine drivers cards after jan
uary 5. So that, after that date,
State Highway policeman is apt to
stop any car and ask the driver for
his license card, and if he doesn't

PENINSULA BOOSTERS
WILL MEET AT SALISBURY
At Meeting Next Monday Effort viii
Be Made To Bring Business

More than fifty outstanding busi-
ness and financial leaders represent
ing the banking, land owning agri-
cultural, industrial and resort inter-
ests of the entire Peninsula have al
ready signed the call for the Eas-
tern Shore Peninsula Development
Conference which will meet at Sal
isbury, December %.
Practically every section of the
Peninsula is represented in the COM
mittee which is sponsoring the meet
ing, and the additional acceptances
which are coming compel a daily re-
vision of the list.
Delegates to the conference are
being appointed upon the nomination
of the sponsoring committee mem
bers, and notices Of the appointment
are now going out.
The purpose of the conference is
to convene a thoroughly representa-
tive body, the membership of which
will be drawn from all of the four
teen counties in the Peninsula to
consider plans for a rounded devel-
Opment program and to take the or
ganization steps necessary to start
action.
Business leaders of the Peninsula
have long felt that the Peninsula can
increase its population, its industries
and it's wealth if it will organize for
the purpose. Conference leaders pro-
pose to give development the impe-
tus which comes from community
cooperation. The program contemp-
lated does not stop with an adver-
tising and publicity campaign de-
signed to boost land values. It is the
plan not only to bring more people
into the Peninsula to settle on the
land, but to take active steps to in
crease the markets for Peninsula
products.
The general purposes Of the con-
ference, as set forth in a statement
being sent out to the delegates by
the committee on arrangements are:
To promote the migration of peo-
pie and the flow of capital into the
Peninsula-and to keep them both
when they come.
To advertise and publicize the |

CONTINUE PLANS FOR
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
State Board OF Education Wait
ing Result Of Survey By Ser
vice Citizens.

Not until after Service Citizens
has made survey of the subject
and has collected all available text
books and data bearing on it will
the State Board of Education take
final action upon the request of a
Kent county school and it's towns
people to allow the pupils to be re-
lieYed from school sessions once or
twice a week for religious instruc-
ton.
Since last summer the State
Board of Education has had the
matter before it for consideration.
At that time DR.. Harry V. Holloway
submitted a resolution recommend
ing that wherever a town, through
it's school trustees, could assure the
State Board of Education that the
parents of children attending the
public schools were willing to have
their children dismissed from school
an hour or so earlier, once or twice
week, so that they might go to
some church of their choice for re-
ligiOus instruction, that such in
struction would be given.
The subject has aroused much
discussion. Pierre S. du Pont ex-
pressed the opinion that because it
was a controversial subject, that an
effort should be made to obtain all
data on it and see if there was not
some textbook that would be ap-
proved by the Protestants, Catholics
and Hebrews from which the in
might be given.

SMALL TOWNS FACE
TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
Larger Cities Have Solved Their
Troubles To Large Extent.

The National Automotive Cham
ber of Commerce reports that Amer
ica's larger cities are handling the
traffic problem with ease while
traffic congestion is resulting in
confusion and accidents on the
streets of the smaller cities.
The small cities are just begin
ming to get the traffic problem and
are unprepared to handle the situa-
ton which is causing an unpropor-
tional number of automobile acci-
dents in cities of less than 100000
population.
The National Automotive Cham
ber of Commerce is urging civic
bodies in smaller cities to conduct
an intensive safety campaign to
solve traffic difficulties and to pre-
pare the citizens for the time when
a large number Of automobiles will
be in use.
Milford is just now trying to
reach a solution for the parking
problem here. After the first of the
new year it is probable that new
traffic control lights will be install
led, and different method of park
ing tried out.

SCHOOL PUPILS WILL
COMPETE FOR PRIZES
Poster Contest Throughout State
Will Close February 10th.
Prizes For Winners,

Many of the schools of Delaware
will take part in a health poster
contest, which has been arranged
by the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
Society. There will be two sets of
prizes given, a first and a second
for the One-and-two-teacher schools
and first and second for the ele-
mentary grade schools.
For the first prize, the school can
select to receive ten dollars in cash
or a set of scales, that all may use
and appreciate. For the second
prize the selection will lie between
five dollars or set of paper towels
with rack or an outfit of paper cups
with holder.
The posters will be judged on a
ten-point basis, with five points al
lowed for the educational value of
the poster to children in teaching
them health habits; three for the
originality displayed and the re-
naming two points for the neatness
in executing the poster. The judges
Will comprise Miss Rachel Taylor,
OF the Art Department of the Wo-
mems College University of Della
ware; John Shilling, in charge of
High Schools for the State Board
of Education, and Miss Emily P.
Bissell of the Delaware Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society.
The schools have until February
10 to place the posters in the hands
of the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
Society, Oil Delaware avenue, Will
mington. In this connection, the
schools are being urged to complete
the posters early so that samples of
their ideas may be displayed at the
January meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association. Judging from
the interest that has been manifest
ed in the health crusade so far, by
the end Of the present year the
State will be very well organized
as far as the health crusade cam
paign goes.
Returns of the Christmas Seal
campaign, according to reports at
headquarters, Oil Delaware avenue,
Wilmington, are most encouraging.

who was in command of the pilot
boat Philadelphia which stood by
the burning Clyde Line steamship
Lenape as it raced to the breakwa-

ESQUIRE HENDERSON GIVES
INFORMATION ABOUT DOG TAX
Licenses Can Be Obtained From
Justices Of The Peace Any County

The news article printed in the
Milford Chronicle last week about
fines and costs imposed upon two
farmers near Milford, who had not
paid the annual license on their
dogs, in two cases brought by the
State Game Wardens before Esquire
Hendrixson, has caused others to
make inquiry as to how this partic-
ular licenses can be paid.
In the mail of Tuesday last a let
ter from a farmer, Mr.. Henry Gold
niger, of near Harrington, Del, ask
ed for information on that point;
and, after inquiry from the justice
of the peace, the point was made
clear.
Mr.. Goldinger said in his letter:
"In regard to the Dog Tax. I
know that it became a law last
spring; but the collector never has
given notice, $50 far as I know
where the 81 license is to be paid,
or where it is to be sent. The col
lector or assessor when he came
around, simply stated. that he or
some one would come around to col
lect it.
Kindly advise me where to send
the 81 tax, as no farmer has yet
paid the dog tax in my neighbor-
hood.-H. GOLDINGER, Harring-
ton, Del"
Justice E. V. Hendrixson, at Mil
ford, informed the writer December
22nd, that the Chief Game Warden,
John P. Lefevre, of Dover, Della
ware, is the headquarters for col
lecting this especial tax, and appli-
cations for licensing dogs can be
made direct to him and the money
paid over to him; but, for the con-
venience of the public, most of the
Justices of the Peace have been Civ
en- blank forms for dog licenses,
and they have been authorized to is
sue and collect the charge for the
license. At the end of each month
