MILFORD, FRIDAY, AUG. %, 1925.
IT WILL BE necessary to apply
drastic penalties to secure observ-
ance of the rulings by the State
Highway Department, which re-
ouire all motor driven vehicles to
come to a stop before going on any
boulevard or improved highway,
from a side road, or lane which con-
meets with any of these highways.
At present by far a greater part OF
those who drive cars or trucks, fail
to observe this ruling on the part OF
the State Highway Department and
thereby endanger lives and property
Each town should instruct its police
to enforce this regulation so far as
it is possible. Stiff fines imposed
will be helpful in most cases, but it
may be possible that the fool who
drives without regard for the rights
or safety of others, might be brought
to obey the law, if about six or eight
lashes are added to the penalty. A
tender back may be most helpful to
careful driving; it is certain that
one punishment will be sufficient to
stop future applications of the pen
atty. 1t may be that this amend
ment to the state laws will find favor
with members of the next legisla-
ture.

IN THE SHUTTLE and recon-
struction of the department which
has charge of the prohibition laws
of the United States Government,
Delaware has been shuffled off the
table and is now only a side issue in
administration. The state of Mary
land, the District of Columbia and
Delaware have been combined into
one unit, with a Baltimore man as
it's head, who is responsible only to
the new head of the department, who
was selected by the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States.
Whatever the result of this rehabi-
litation of the force charged with
enforcing prohibition for the district,
of which this state is a unit, there
is the satisfaction of knowing, that
Delaware has on her law books am
pie law for the control of the bust
ness within her borders. Prohibi-
ton has been of untold benefit to
the State of Delaware. Our people
are more prosperous, the laboring
class is living better than ever be-
fore while the moral standards are
far above that period when the sa-
looms were rampant and dispoilers
of the weak. Delaware can and will
see that the laws are enforced with
equity and justice and that is all
that the people expect of any gov
erning body.
TO HOLD THE ATTENTION Of
the public, those who are engaged in
retail selling of all kinds of mer-
chandise or products, in all towns
or villages, must get concerted ac-
ton of the majority of merchants of
such towns, for publicity in each
event of the seasons as they come
around. To get the best results
from the new seasons announce
ments of Openings" or displays of
styles, there should be unanimous
Use of displayed advertising by all
he stores, calling public attention
o the fact that their town or villige {
he following week, would make a
pecialty of showing the newest and
most beautiful of the fabrics and I
hapes, to those who will become l
ustomers for such materials that G
easOn. This concert of action CEN I
ers public attention to the fact, that i
Il the stores in that particular town O
ill have an especial display for the v
ducatiOn of the people and infOrma- t
on of the public that in that town p
lere is always a large assortment 5
l all Of the stores. The individual a
Xix by the advertiser can and r
hOuld be in the usual advisory, as p
ell as informing line to prospec- v
We customers; but the main OBJ fl
,ct should be, to have community y
pirit existing between the mer- n
hants themselves, to create pub a
C impression that they jointly at 7
east, are interested in having the b
eople from all points within their fl
usiness district, come to that town o.
lat week where distinct impress o.
on can be made on individuals, that t.
lie merchants are alive to their in Il
rests and are working in harmony al
have their home town draw bust il
ess through the policy of creating is
lblicity, and justifying the public q
terest through the Opening" dis IL
avs of seasonable and worthy m

erchants to get this policy firmly OF
tablished by just a bit of harmini- G.
