the understanding is that there will
be three experimental routes in the
state, instead of two, as first cOntem-
plated, and that they will be on routes
radiating from Middletown, Dover
and Milford, respectively.
These communities are said to be
in the midst of good farm and truck
ing regions and the routes on good
highways, so that the experiments
will have the advantage of favoring
conditions.
Wilmington is left out for the rea-
son that the rural carrier would find
it labOrous task to make deliveries
in so large a place. 1t is not to be
inferred, however, that Wilmington
would be left out if the experiment
should result in the adoption of the
plan as a permanent part of rural
delivery service.
The effort which the experiment
comprises is to put the farm and
dairy producer into direct and mex
pensive and regular and periodic con-
tact with the consumer. The plan

that not all Of them appear to take

the country, rather than any one

a reversal Of their attitude.

Inc marriage mill OF ElklOH |
has come in recently for unenvi-
able nOtoriety. Quite pertin-
emily our Dover contemporary,
The Index says, 'It has long
been a disgrace to our neighbOr-
ing State and we have wonder
ed that the Maryland Legisla-
ture has permitted it to continue
1t now appears that its retention
has been the result of an AFRO
giant lobby that has been main
tanned at Annapolis by a social
ed taxi trust. No doubt there
have also been other influences
such as revenues from marriage
licenses. It appears that 4,9OO
marriage licenses were issued at
Elkton last year and 1,768 have
been issued so far this year. The
two marrying ministers are min
listers without churches and .
frankly in the marrying busi- |
ness for what they get out of it. /
1t is said that all comers, no |
matter of what age are tied if |
they get a license and pay the
price. One minister is said to
have made as much as $4,000 a
year out of it. The taxi drivers
have a trust, pay the Railroad
as much as $3.50 per month for
the privilege of meeting trains
and pay the lobby to keep the
law as it is. Harty and lily con-
sidered marriages are said to be
responsible for much of the
present day divorce evil. It used
to be marriage in haste and re-
pentence at leasure, it is now
marriage in haste and divorce in
haste if one Of the parties can
raise the price for visiting some
place where a divorce mill is
maintained. The one evil grows
out of the other. No State
should permit marriage licenses
to issue until a week after an
application is made. In case of
applicants under 21 the written
consent of parents, if SUCH
should be required. Marriage
is a serious undertaking and its
seriousness should be emphasiz
ed by the license requirement;
and the ceremony. No minister
who does not hold a bonafid'
charge and who is not in gOOt
standing should be permitted t
Officiate. Having safe-guarde
marriage, divorces should not b
permitted for trifing causes. ]

Hard Facts On Roads.

After a test covering five years,
automotive engineers are convinced
that with gasoline at 20 cents a gal
Ion, it costs three-fourths of a cent
more per ton mile to operate on an
earth road than it does on pavement.
This is fact not generally known
and if known, not taken into consid-
GRAFTON when taxpayers complain
about the paving of highways.
Estimating that the average auto
mobile owner drives 5000 miles a
year, then pavement permits him to
save more than SIS year in fuel
cost alone.
There is a double mileage to be
obtained from tires when the motor
vehicle is operated on pavement, not
to speak of the saving of wear on
the machine and consequent lessen
ing of garage bills.
This is not an advertisement for
hard roads, but it is a common sense
argument for the building of perma-
nent roads.
Since it is established beyond
doubt that they contribute to the
economical operation of motor car
and since every person who ever rode
on hard road knows the extra
joy and comfort to be derived, as
compared with riding on a gravel o.
stone road, why should there be any

She plans to live in the district
and is genuinely interested in the
people Of the district. She makes
an effort to enter into the life of
the community.
She works with a purpose, has
reasons for what she does, and goes
after and gets definite results.
She loves country boys and girls,
has sympathetic understanding of
children and carries on the work of
her school with real interest.
She exercises wholesome in
fluence over her pupils and thus
realizes in their courtsey and their
interest. Such influence is often
unconscious as shown in the habitual
use of good English and in the voice
and general bearing of the teacher,
for example:
She habitually uses thought-pro-
voking questions rather than mech
anical questions calling merely for
textbook material.
She cooperates with the people of
the community and their organiza-
tions for the good of the schools.
She decorates her room artistically
according to the season, and with
educational ends in mind. BY
changing such decorations from time
to time and by use Of good quality of
material, this good rural teacher
shows her alertness and her in

She takes good care of school pro-

school as long as she can afford to

Have you ever watched the ex-
pert driver when his car starts to
skid? He doesn't jam down his
feet on the brake and accelerator
He simply throttles down the en-
CINE quickly and turns his front
wheels in the direction the car is
skiding. The rear wheels turning
so slowly, in nine cases out of ten
pull his car out of the skid. Then
he picks up again and is gone be-
fore you realize he even started to
skid
It's a mighty hard thing to do,
that of keeping your foot away
from the brake when car starts
sliding, but it must be done OF
you'll end up in bad smash. The

scream; you lose your head; down
goes your foot to lock the brakes

DANGER OF THE roof of the
White House caving in may compel
the President to take a vacation this
summer, although he probably
wouldn't leave Washington other
wise. Engineers declare that the
ancient roof of the executive Man
sion is in a precarious condition and
that repairs should be made at once,
money for that purpose having been
appropriated. AS work on the roof
would turn the whole White House
topsy turvy, the presidential family
would have to seek other quarters.
In the event the repairs are ordered,
the President may take the OPP
portunity to visit his father in
Vermont or to make a tour Of the
Middle West.

MAKING REPAIRS WITH SENSE
INSTEAD OF DOLLARS
n. E-DEtrTN CDEED
BY ERWIN GREER

Out of the bitterness of my own
experiences | am prompted to offer
the following advice to those of
my readers who want maximum
efficiency from their automobiles.
Naturally an automobile oper-
ates at least expense per mile when
it is running in high gear with the
spark advanced Sometimes, how
ever, this is not the case. When
it is running slowly this condition
is a costly one. First: because
spark is then too early which pro-
duces a spark knock. Second: be-
cause the power impulses are fur
Their apart and the action is there
fore less even, power being con-
sumed in overcoming the inertia
of the flywheel which is very great
at an uneven torque.
Many drivers try to stay in high
gear and keep the spark lever adj
vanced all the way up the tangent
as long as possible in climbing a
hill. Under these conditions, when
change has to be made, it is
necessary to drop into low gear,
whereas second gear would have
sufficed with a little more momen-
tum With the engine laborine
there is a great strain on all parts
and, of course, too much gasoline
is being wasted in this destructive
effort.
Most drivers who do this, think
they are economizing on fuel be
cause they figure their engines are

not back down one inch from the
determined antagonistic stand he has
taken against the methods of the
United States. Let the Senators
criticize him as much as they please,
declares the Vice President-having
revealed his mind on the subject he
is willing for them to have their say
just as he had his Although he
expected opposition in the Senate
itself to the changing Of rules which
he believes retards the nations bust
ness, Dawes feels that the country at
large viii come to his support. He
is banking on that support hoping
that public opinion will be lined up
during the summer to put over in
December what he suggested in his
inaugural speech.
A PERIOD OF quiet naturally
follows the adjournment Of the 68th
Congress, and interest win be center
ed for the next few months on the
financial affairs Of the Government

foreign relations as handled by Frank

State. The foreign debt situation
is being closely watched by Admins
tration officials, and a meeting of the
American Debt Funding Commission
will Be held shortly to take steps for
collection Of the huge French and
italian debts Kellogg will go to
work where Hughes left off in pre-
pairing the stage for a new world
disarmament conference which Pre-
sident Coolidge is expected to call
