Traffic Buckers And Cross Road

notify the motor public which might
claim ignorance of the act, signs
were erected at all cross roads. On
the main highway, these signs have
DANGER" in large letters, Gross
Road Ahead" On the cross roads
the signs read STOP" and there is
no trouble about reading these
signs, if the mOtOrist is careful. But
as last Sundays experience proved
if they told the truth, they didn't
bother to read the signs.
The state police will continue to
wage their crusade against the traf-
fic buckers and these reckless driv-
ers who drive full tilt across a main
highway, hoping that if some are
made examples of for violating the
law, that the news may spread that
it costs money in Delaware to be a
motor law breaker.
Cut Grass Along Highways
For the past three weeks the high
way department has had units of
men out along the highway cutting
the high grass and weeds from the
sides of the road. The highway is
state property and consequently this
job is up to the Highway COmmis-
sion or some other state agency to
do it. The result is most pleasing to
the eye and the highway is given a
much neater appearance. The grass
is cut three times each year. Once
in the spring, once during the sum-
mer and third time late in the fall.
c. D. Buck, state engineer, spent
Thursday and Friday inspecting road
work in Sussex county, going over
all planned roads with county engi-
neers. There was a rumor about
Dover last week, that possibly with
in two or three weeks, the judges
who had been asked by Governor
Robinson to render an opinion on
the legality Of the law authorizing
Sussex county to bond for more
roads, might give that decision.
Two weeks was the time it was
rumored such an opinion might be
expected and those who fought for
more roads in Sussex are corre-
spondingly delighted, providing the
act is declared legal. If the opinion
given the governor should be the
opposite, then some new action
would have to be taken to try and
right the problem. Many believe that
if it's declared unconstitutional, that
there can be no new roads built for
that county out of new funds, until
another session Of the General As
sembly.-Sunday Star.

How to prevent Pennsylvania mo-
torists from "bucking traffic" and to
get DelaWareans and others to OBJ
serve the state law regarding the
crossing of main highways from
cross roads, are the two big traffic
problems with which the State High
way Police are wrestling now. Last
Sunday several Pennsylvanians were
arrested while driving recklessly on
the state highway and fined, their
particular offense being "bucking
traffic"
By this is meant, in attempting to
pass car ahead, the motOTist,
drives past and then cuts directly in
front of the car he is passing. Some
times he does this within three or
four feet and the danger of an acct
dent is such that If the driver of the
car being passed should attempt to
put on more gas, nothing could stop
an accident.
Usually those who do this trick
are accustomed to driving in large
cities where, with car going slow
enough there is not so much likeli-
hood Of collision, but on an open
road like the state highway, there is
no legitimate reason for it.
One thing is noticeable on the
state roads and that is that the Of
tenders are usually Pennsylvanians.
Last Sunday there were cars on the
highway from more than score of
states in the Union and practically
none of them attempted this hazard
GUS practice except those motors
that bore a Pennsylvania license
tag.
Warn Cross Road Drivers
Superintendent of State Police
Reynolds, and a state policeman last
Sunday posted themselves at a cross
road in New Castle county, and
whenever a motorist crossed it with
out stopping as the law directs, or
slowing up so that his machine
could be stopped within two or
three feet they were halted and in
formed of the law. But whether this
will do any good is doubtful. In
practically every instance they were
asked if they had read the sign at
the approach to the main highway
telling them to stop and in nearly
every instance, they claimed they
had seen no sign.
This law about stopping at the ap-
proach to a main highway was en-
acted more than two years ago by
the Delaware legislature. In order to

MED. LAKE WINS HOT
GAME FROM FROID

Wednesday of last week the Medi-
cine Lake team joumeyed to Froid
and took part in one of the hottest
and most interesting games of the
season in that city.
The fans who went down from
Medicine Lake plunged to the depths
Of despair for seven innings and then
rose II the Elysian peak Of Joy in the
eighth. In the first inning with Froid
up. c. Olson singled and Moore got
on by error, Gallivan came to bat and
singled to short right field scoring C.
Olson and Moore. From then on to
the eigth both sides were held score
less. Thomas came Up IN the eighth
and was out. Kelly got single.
Hahn got a free trip to first advance
ing Kelly TO third and Hahn to sec
ond. Borley up, Gallivan fed him a
high fast one right under his nose.
The big boy leaned on it gently but
firmly for a homer ever left and send
ing Kelly and Hahn ahead of him
across the home plate. Thus he re-
deemed himself for pulling a Casey
Jones" three other times at bat. The
fielding and team work of both teams
was the best exhibited so far this
season.
Score: Medicine Lake 8: Froid ?.
