RUNAWAY HORSE KILLED
BY TRAIN AT MILFORD
Crowd At Station Witnessed Grue-
some Sight Christmas Evening

A runaway horse, owned by VIII
liam Carpenter, of near Staytons-
vile, was instantly killed on Christ
mas evening when the southbOund
passenger train struck it. The ac-
cident occurred at the crossing just
north of the station and was wit
messed by a crowd of persons who
were on the station platform waiting
for the train. The horse ran away
when Mr.. Carpenter left it standing
at Kern's filling station at the inter
section of the du Pont Boulevard and
Lake avenue. When almost in front
of the laboratories OF the L. D.
Caulk Company at the western en-
trance to town the carriage over
turned and struck telephone pole.
The crash relieved the horse of its
load and it dashed madly on down
the street and ran DIRECTLY in front
of the locomotive as it CROSSED Lake
avenue crossing. The a himal was in
stantly killed and itsD front legs
were severed from its body. Fortu-
nately there were no persons in the
mixup.

MILFORD FIRE TRUCKS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH GREEN LIGHTS
Company Has Met Requirements OF
National Firemen'S Association

The fire trucks of the Carlisle
Fire Company of Milford have been
equipped with two 6-inch green
lights between the headlights to des-
ignate them from other motor We
hicles. The lights were placed on
the trucks as the suggestion of the
National Firemen's Association
which makes it one of the require
ments of members that their appa-
ratus be so equipped. The lights are
valuable in that they plainly indi-
cate to approaching motor vehicles
or other cOnveyances that fire
trucks are approaching. The driver
of the other car, thus warned, can
take due precaution and get his car
out of the way of the approaching
truck. The placing of the lights on
the trucks is just another indica-
tion that the Carlisle Fire Company
is a live wire organization, working
at all times to keep Milford fire
equipment up to the highest of eff
cheney.

DELAWARE VETERANS
HAVE INSURANCE
FOR $5,5OO,OOO
The Borrowing Value OF Certifi-
Gates Now Amounts To The
Sum Of 24,652.
LOANS ARE DISCOURAGED
Government Urges Service Men
Not To Borrow Unless Nee
essaTy.

Delaware veterans of the World
War, in common with those of all
other states, will be able January /
to realize cash on their adjusted
compensation certificates, issued un-
der the 1924 law.
Insurance tOtaling $5,527,446 is
carried by veterans of Delaware I'M
der this act. This means that on the
hrst of the new year this insurance
held by Delaware ex-service men
will have a total loan value of $424,-
652. By applying to a bank or trust
company, Delaware holders of ad-
justed compensation certificates may
borrow the above amount. The pro-
cedure is to sign an ordinary note
and put up the adjusted compensa-
ton certificate as security for the
loan.
Many In Delaware
According to War Department fig
ures, 4,461 veterans from Delaware
so far have made application for ad-
justed compensation, in addition to
1855 dependents of veterans who have
died. Application for adjusted COM
pensatiOn, it may be remarked, still
can be made any time up to January
l, 1928.
Throughout the nation there are
about 100000 ex-service men of the
World War, who will have added to
their individual assets on January 1,
next, negotiable government secur-
tiles upon which they may borrow
more than $215,O00,OOO.
Brigadier-General Frank T. Hines,
director of the Veterans Bureau,
wants to impress upon veterans that
the bureau itself will not make any
loans. Applicants for loans should
apply to banks and trust companies
and not to the bureau or it's agen-
cies.
Banks and trust companies are
authorized to make loans up to the
loan value of the policy, which is
printed upon the adjusted compensa-
ton certificate in the form of table,
showing the loan value of various
dates.
General Hines expressed the hope
that veterans will not exercise the
loan privilege where it is possible to
avoid it. Every soldier should, he
said, try to keep his certificate un-
encumbered to the date of it's ma
turity Under the law the full cash
value of the certificate, which is a
form of endowment insurance, is
payable 20 years from the date of
issuance of the certificate.
That there will be a considerable
demand for loans on these adjusted
compensation certificates, cOmmenc-
ing with the new year, is, however,
generally thought. For the first time,
the veterans will be able to borrow
on their certificates.
The 100000 odd veterans who
put in their applications for adjust
ed compensation already have the
certificates. Their use as collateral
for bank loans was forbidden until
the lapse of two years from issuance.
Most of the certificates we're issued
as of January l, 1925, so that the
loan value commences the first of
the new year.

ant Library. Es'
:. Miss Harris secuted the arguments
of those opposed to jury duty for
women who claim that women would
not make good jurors because they
are TOO emotional and would not
stick to cold, hard facts of the case.
"Such a conception Miss Harris de
clared, lis not borne out by the eN-
perience Of the 20 States where Wom-
en- now serve on juries. Judges of
these States have declared that, de-
spite cher former fears, women are
enabling juries to give saner, more
just and accurate judgments than
when men alone served"
Supported by Fellow Attorney.
Miss 4a~rrls was supported by Jen-
ME q. 4perlner, an attorney, mem
Der OF the National Women's Party,
who urged passage Of the bill pend
ing in Congress which would pro
vide jury duty for women of the Dis
trict.
Opponents of this bill say it would
be a terrible thing for man and woman
jurors to be locked up together for
days in cases of hung juries That
is not what would happen, but If II
was we do much more terrible things
than that now and think nothing Of

Prison Practice Protested.
Mrs. Dodd protested against the
practice of most of the prisons today
of locking prisoners in cell rooms
instead of putting them to work.
Prisoners should not be molly
coddled." Mrs. Dodd declared. but
they should be given the rudiments
of education if they are illiterate, they
should be trained for some useful oc-

should be prepared to assume respon-

Headaches
Come from Constipation

Come from Constipation
Most headaches are due to
poisons formed in the waste
matter and absorbed nv the
blood. Slowly but surely these
poisonsundermine vourhealth.
Get rid Of constipation and
your headaches will disappear.
Constipationis dangerous for
anybody. Nujol is safe for
everybody. 1t does not affect
the stomach and isnot absorbed
by the body. Medical authori.
ties approve Nujol because it
is so safe, SO gentle and SO
natural in its action.
Nujol makes up for a def.
cheney of natural lubricant in
the intestines. 1t sottens the
waste matter and thus permits
thorough and regular bowel
movements without gripping.
Nujol can be taken for any
length of time without ill
effects. Unlike laxatives, it
does not form habit and can
be discontinued at any time.
Ask your druggist for Nujol.

The great issue now before the

the unorganized, and all those just
minded people who believe in justice
is to get out the vote on election day.
More than fifty per cent of those eli
gible to vote fail to register or cast
ballot on election days. A far less
number vote in the primaries. The
American Federation of Labor has
urged every organization of labor,
their officers and every member of the
rank and file to make it their duty
not only to go to the polls on election
day and vote, but to urge and encour-
age others to do so. It is hoped that
every member Of the workers family

their duty to study the records of
those seeking public office and to vote

past actions that the working people

such changes to be brought about it
is necessary that those candidates
