STORAGE CHARGES
ON UNDELIVERABLE
EXPRESS MATTER

Charges will hereafter be assessed
for storing of express shipments not
accepted when rendered for delivery
or uncalled for after due notice has
been sent to the consignee, accord
ing to T. NJ. Holcombe, agent of the
American Railway Express Company
here.
Thus, a system similar to that az
fecting freight and baggage ship
ments has been put into effect in the
express service at the cities and in
the districts where free delivery
service is provided. This has been
made necessary by the growing
problems of the carriers in caring
for an increasing quantity of ship
ments. which they have not been
able to deliver, for reasons for
which they were in no way respon-
sible.
Some of these are business differ
ences between shippers and con-
signees or the forwarding of goods
without provision for their accep-
tance upon delivery. In the interim,
the carriers have been forced to
maintain a costly and elaborate sys-
tenn of storing and recording such
business.
Three days free time" is allow
ed, after which a storage charge is
assessed at the rate of 10 cents for
the first day; cents for each of the
next 8 days, with a maximum of so
cents a month for each shipment
weighing 100 pounds or less and a
regular monthly charge thereafter of
so cents per month or fraction there
of. Shipments forwarded &C. o. D."
are allowed five days free time"
On shipments weighing over 100
pounds the storage charge is pro-
portionate; that is, any fractional
part of 100 pounds is computed as
100 pounds, thus, shipments over
100 pounds and not over 200 pounds
are assessed storage at twice the
rate of the shipment under the 100
pound limit.
The carrier, however, is required
to give proper notice of the unsuc-
cessful attempt at delivery and the
charges are figured after the expira-
ton of the free time from the first
Z a. m. following the sending of such
notice. The charge does not apply to
shipments to addresses beyond the
free delivery limits of the express
company.
Before becoming effective, the sys-
tenn was submitted for consideration
to the shipping public, including or
ganizations of shippers and practi-
caIly no objection was entered
against putting it into effect.

In her latest official production
test the Jersey COW, Killingly Tor
ono Lass, owned by Killingly Farm,
Barre, Mass, has broken another
production record for all breeds Of
dairy cattle.
Lass was started on this test when
she was years and 4 months of age
and in the ensuing 305 days she
yielded 882.48 lbs. of butterfat and
1856 lbs. of milk. No other cow of
the same age approaches this new
record.
Just a year ago Lass completed
her first world record, all breeds,
when in her junior three-year-old
test she produced 817 lbs. of butter
fat and 14268 lbs. of milk, with calf,
in SO5 days. A year previous to that
she produced 464 lbs. of fat and 8075
lbs of milk, with calf, in S05 days.
Two silver medals and a medal of
merit have already been awarded
Milford chronicle., 1926-08-06

Having made his selection of the
automobile which he desires to pur-
chase, the prospective automobile
operator is confronted with the ne
cessity of entering into a contract
for its purchase. This contract is
prepared by the dealer, usually upon
a printed form, containing proVis-
ions which bind the buyer to pur-
chase a certain make and model at
a certain time and, saddest of all, to
pay certain price therefor.
Dealers almost universally ie-
quire a deposit of a sum of money
to be paid by the purchaser at the
time of signing the contract, and
upon examination the contract will
be found usually to provide that in
case the purchaser does not live up
to the terms of the contract and ac-
cept the car and. pay the balance of
the purchase price on the date spec
flied for delivery, the dealer may re-
tain the deposit as liquidated dam
ages.
Of course, it is not essential that
the contract contain all these pro-
visions, and a contract merely to
purchase a new car of a certain
make has been held enforceable,
even though no mention was made in
it of any particular model nor of
the price to be paid, nor of the time
of payment. But in the case of pur-
chases of new automobiles, the in
dustry is now so systematized that
practically all-dealers use a contract
containing the provisions above set
forth.
Generally speaking, the contract
once signed is revocable only by
mutual agreement between the par
ties or by violation of its terms by
either one of them. The principal
obligation undertaken by the seller
of the automobile is the delivery Of
a machine conforming to the de-
scription given in the contract at
the time set forth therein, and the
tender of such an automobile at the
time specified discharges this obli-
cation.
The purchaser obligates himself 10
pay the balance of the purchase
price upon the tender or delivery of
the automobile at the time specified
and his tender of the purchase price
at that time discharges his obliga-
tion. Failure by either party to per-

form either of these obligations rem
ders him liable in damages to the
other party to the contract.
In connection with the purchase
price, practically all sales contracts
contain the expression ''F. 0. B. q
certain locality" and in the absence
of evidence of the intention of the
parties to the contrary, this is re-
garded as charging the purchaser
with the freight, war lax and other
expenses incident 10 delivery.
The conduct of either party may
however, be construed as waving
certain rights set forth in the con-
tract, and even if the car is not de-
livered at the specified date, the
purchaser by calling in the seller
and making inquiries concerning
possible delivery of the machine al
a subsequent date, valves his right
to delivery at the specified time.
He may also by an unconditional
acceptance Of the machine waive the
conditions of the contract in the alb
sence of a warranty by the seller
If the time of delivery is extended
by the consent of the purchaser, he
cannot thereafter rescind the sale
for failure of delivery.
The place of delivery is usually
in the absence Of provision to the
contrary, the place of business Of the
seller. The machine delivered must
of course, correspond with the one
ordered and where the contract is
for the purchase of a machine de-
scribed as fully equipped as per cat
alogue, the machine delivered mus
carry the equipment therein set fOrtl
or the purchaser may charge th'
seller with breach of the contract
Ordinarily, the purchaser Of ;
machine must be allowed an oppOr
tunity to inspect it before the titIt
passes, and a delivery which does
not afford this opportunity has beer
held defective. Other provisions in
cident to contracts of this character
will be discussed in subsequent ar
ticles.
It has become a uniVersa1 practice
for dealers to take secondhand cars
belonging to purchasers. of their new
automobiles as part of the purchase
price of the new car, and where rhi:
is the case, of course, the amount al
lowed the purchaser on the trade-il
should be clearly set forth in tht
contract.

Lass by the American Jersey Cattle
Club, New York, and if she calves in
time to meet the regulations cover
ing her latest test she will qualify
for another silver medal and her
second medal of merit. The latter
medal is the highest award for heavy
production.
Killingly Torono Louise, Lass full
sister, holds the junior two-year-old
worlds record for Jersey milk pro-
duction. Louise produced 5S7.10 lbs.
of butterfat and 12109 lbs. of milk,
with calf, in 3O5 days in her first
test, and 854.24 lbs. of fat and 17054
lbs. of milk in 365 days on her Sec
ond test.
Behind these great producers are
three generations of noted Jersey
sires. The character for heavy pro-
duction has shown up strikingly in
the fourth generation so it is appar-
emily fixed" in the blood.

PLAN EXAMINATION
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

Efforts to improve the health OF
future citizens of Delaware through
medical inspection of all puDllc
school children will be put into erect
the coming year, providing the pans
Of DR.. Arthur T. Davis, eVecutlve
head of the State Board OF HeaIth'
mature successfully.
%There are 24,00 children in the
pubIic schools of Delaware, DIVIDED
among 7,7O0 in rural New Castle;
1000 in Kent county and 9,6OO IN
Sussex county.
Defects of the teeth, obstructlons
6f the nose, defective sight anu
hearing are the four main ills dis
covered by a health examination OF
abe child. Oftentimes, it is poor sight
or hearing that makes a child at
school seem dull and dumb. Adenolds
and defective teeth also have their
bearing on slow thinking children.
With the inspection of all school
children through the county heaItn
units. which the State Board OF
Health hopes will become feature
in the health campaign of Delaware,
ALI of the children of the state could
be examined free of charge, ana
wherever any serious defects or all
'ments were discovered, could be
referred to their family physician
for treatment.
| 'Wilmington has inspection of its
public school children" said Dr'
Davis, "and we think the children
! outside of Wilmington should ENJOY
the same attention. The child OF
school age should be examined al
least four times during the twelve
years it is in school. They should all
be examined when they enter, ana
even oftener, if the opportunity is
provided. than the three remaining
inspections. With well-organlzeo
health unit in each county, the phys
ician in charge could readily exam
inc at least 5000 school children a
year as well as attend to other du-
ties.
"The State Board of Education Is
heartily in favor of medical inspec-
ton of school children because the
educational authorities realize that
if the children are without teeth and
nasal defects and have good sigh'
and hearing, that it will serve to re-
duce absentees, and the children
will be brighter and better STU
dents"
