TRUCKS COLLIDE ON BOULEVARD
NORTH OF HERE; DRIVER HURT
JAY c. ROWE, SALISBURY TAKEN
IN AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL
He Suffered Fractured Skull and In
ternal Injuries and His Condition
is Serious: Trucks Damaged

Jay c.. Rowe, of Salisbury, Nd, was
so severely injured that he may die
in an automobile accident along the
dupont Boulevard one and one half
miles north of Smyrna early Thursday
morning. The injured man was hast
ened in the Smyrna Ambulance to the
Delaware Hospital, Wilmington. He
is twenty-eight years of age and is
unmarried. Rowe is suffering from a
fractured skull and internal injuries.
At the hospital his condition was eX-
pressed as being extremely serious.
The accident occurred after two o'clock
Thursday morning. Rowe was oper-
ating a truck by the Disharoon Com
pany of Salisbury and was proceed
ing south along the highway when he
passed around one truck parked along
the highway and crashed into another
truck Immediately in front of it, which
Rowe could not see from the rear of
the last truck. Three trucks owned
by G. H. Nashold, of Greensboro, Nd,
were parked along the highway. The
front truck was towing the other two
which were disabled. Rowe collided
with the middle one of the three
trucks. As soon as the accident hap
pened the state ppolice at Dover sta
ton were notified and officers Bona
ficino and O'Neal proceeded TO the
scene. DR.. w. C. Deakyne, of Smyrna
was summoned and after examining
Rowe ordered him removed to a hos
pital where he was taken by the
Smyrna ambulance. Officer O'Neal
accompanied the injured man to the
hospital while officer Bonafcino pro-
ceeded with the investigation. Ac-
cording to the report of the police of
ficers, the three parked along the
highway were standing partly on the
concrete road and partly on the dirt.
Rowe's view OF the two front trucks
was blocked by the rear truck. 1t is
unknown why Rowe turned in after
passing the rear truck. The supposi-
ton is that he turned in to avoid col
liding with a car which was proceed
ing north on the highway. The front
portion of the truck in which Rowe
was riding was completely wrecked
while the rear of the parked truck
was also badly damaged.

URGE NEW BRIDGE FARNHURST
Pennsylvania Railroad To Widen the
Bridge To Conform to Extra Width
of Road Being Built BY Highway

1t is up to the public how long it
will put up with a two track bridge
over the Pennsylvania railroad at
Farnhurst while the state highway on
either side is enlarged to four track
width. As C. D. Buck, Chief Engi-
neer of the State Highway Depart
ment has the widening of the highway
from State Road to Wilmington plan
ned out, the two extra strips of road
being built on either side of the pres
ent highway will stop an eighth of
mile from the Farnhurst bridge both
north and south. This is because
counsel for the State Highway Com
mission has informed that body that
the commission is not responsible fin
ancially for the construction of new
bridge over the railroad. This is an
expense that comes about because of
the tremendous increase of motorists
and the construction of new highways.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, which has
been asked to build new bridge, has,
up to this time, done nothing. So the
Highway Commission will build this
splendid addition to the highway, eX-
cept for a short distance north and
south of this bridge. 1t is believed
that motorists using the highway will
protest to the commission in such
numbers that legal action may result
in a bridge being constructed. The
bridge over the Christian river at
Market street, Wilmington, which was
closed on Wednesday, will remain
closed until October. While the bridge
may be ready to be opened October l,
delays may put this off couple of
weeks so that in all probability all
motor travel over the Christiana will
have to go by way of Third street
bridge. Because of the highway wild
ening many pleasure cars and trucks
drive through New Castle and come
out on the highway at Hare's Corner.
By doing so much of the congestion
between Hare's Corner and Heald
street, Wilmington, is eliminated. At
this time with trucks hauling sand,
gravel, stone and concrete To the big
concrete mixer, traffic is difficult and
more or less dangerous except at
low rate of speed. The Highway Com
mission will meet next month to
award four bids. One is for stretch
of 215 miles on the Philadelphia Pike,
another is for 51z miles from Leipsic
to Little Creek; a third is on the Lin
coin Highway in Stanton, distance
of one mile, and the fourth are the ap-
proaches to the Broadkill bridge, a
stretch of a quarter Of a mile.

PRISONERS FLEE ELKTON JAIL
Three Gain Basement From Corridor,
Squeeze Through Hole in Wall

Ripping up section of the flooring
in the corridor of the Cecil County
Jail at Elkton, Nd, Sunday morning,
three prisoners made their way to the
basement and escaped by squeezing
through hole in the wall which was
left by workmen after sewer pipes
had been installed. The escape was
not discovered until Sheriff George 9.
Logan assembled the men Monday
morning and found three men short
of the prison roster. The escaped men
are H. C. Bryan, who was held on
charge of forgery, awaiting the ar
rival of police authorities from West
Virginia, and Edward j. Thompson
and William Wilmer. The latter two
were being held on charges of break
ing into freight cars at the Conowin-
go Dam operations. The men were
not confined in cells and had the run
of the corridor and were seen in the
Jail by deputy sheriffS and guards af-
ter l o'clock on Sunday morning. Just
what time they made their escape the
authorities do not know. There are
about 80 other prisoners in the Jail at
present and that they did not join
with the fugitiveS is believed to have
been because they were asleep at the
time. AS soon as the absence of the
men was noted a description was sent
to all towns and cities within a rad
ious of one hundred miles and all the
road and railway stations were watch
ed. Shefiff Logan believes the men
boarded a freight train and have got
ten out of the State. All the fugitives
are young men and were dressed in
the clothing they wore when arrested.

SMYRNA FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
IN FULL SWING SCHOOL CAMPUS
FIREMEN'S PARADE LAST NIGHT
DREW THOUSANDS TO SMYRNA
Cranston Heights With Their Woman
Auxiliary in Line Gets First Prize
For Appearance-Dento Best Band

Smyrna Firemen's Carnival is now
in full swing on the High School
Grounds, South street, with prettily
decorated booths and attractions and
with the exception of Monday night
when rain threatened, it has been we'll
patronized. This annual event, the
18th year in succession, is directed
this year by John Morris, Walter S.
Nowland and Wilson FAIRIES, the car
nival committee. The arrangement of
booths this year has given more room
to accommodate the crowds and as
everybody feels they must support our
willing and ever-faithful volunteer
firemen, the finances, it is hoped, will
run up to an amount that will give the
Fire Company sufficient net profits to
be able to help reduce their mortgage
on the beautiful new Fire Hall and
better equip them for service. The
carnival will continue nightly all this
week. Give it your support. Last
night was visiting firemen's night and
despite the fact carnivals We're going
on last night at Elkton, Nd, Easton,
Nd, and Seaford, drawing other COM
panies who might have been here, the
parade in Smyrna was a big success.
Some thirteen or more fire companies
were in line with their equipment and
as they marched the streets with their
brass bands and flare Of red lights,
they were applauded by the crowds
that lined the Streets. Automobiles
were here from all the surrounding
country and over in Maryland.

1928 AUTO LICENSE NUMBERS
Same Numbers on New Tags Can Be
Secured by Applying Early


Because he believes DelawareanS
are taxed enough, Secretary of State
Charles H. Grantland announces that
anyone who wishes to get his or her
present license number for an automo-
bile next year will not have to pay
any extra dollar as they have done in
years past. 81 can't find anything in
tie law which directs me or anyone
else to charge an extra dollar for an
automobile license tag" said Mr..
Grantland. 'If they want to obtain
their old number they can do so if
they apply early enough forwarding
check for the regular fee." Mr.. Grant
land is undecided at this time just
how he viii direct the issuance of Ii
cense tags. As he is revolving it in
his mind now, the plan that seems
most likely is that throughout the
month of November those who want
to retain their old license tags may
file application. After November
those who have failed to make such
application will have to take what
ever number is given them. The new
tags will arrive the first of Septem-

The Kent County Pomona Grange
picnic Thursday was a success even
though the place of meeting was
changed from Moore's Mill to Fruit
land Grange Hall, Camden, where the
addresses were made. w. H. Arm
strong of Smyrna, Master Of Kent
Grange and a goodly number from
Smyrna Grange motored down for the
meeting. The sports, including boat
ing, horse shoe pitching and races, of
different kinds were omitted, there be-
ing, however. an occurrence which
was not on the program, which was
enjoyed perhaps as much as all the at
fractions scheduled, that of a swim
across St. Jones river by two sturdy
grangers, Bailey Thomas and Nat
Taylor, members of Fruitland Grange,
their swim being to secure some of
the lotus flowers now so abundant in
the cove back of Moor's Mill and not
far from the picnic ground. Thomas
and Taylor succeeded in reaching the
lotus beds and brought back as trop-
HES many of the gorgeous buds and
blooms. At the Grange Hall, in Cam
den, w. H. Armstrong, of Smyrna,
master of Kent County Pomona
Grange called the meeting to order,
and then turned it over to ]. Frank
Rice, worthy lecturer of Kent County
Pomona. Community singing was led
by Mrs. Robinson, wife of the COVER
nor, who made a capital director in
that respect. Jefferson Cooper of Ru-
raj Grange, Cheswold, gave a few
words of welcome, after which Gov
ernor Robinson, state master of the
Delaware Grange, was introduced and
in his usual genial way spoke briefly
of grange work in the state and what
it has done for the farmer and what
it will continue to do. The governor
in concluding, introduced National
Master of the National Grange Louis
J. Taber, who delighted the large
crowd present with an address. The
exercises closed late in the afternoon

DEAKYNEvILLE POULTRY GULL
VIII Be Demonstrated at Farm of Eu-
gene DeaSyne by 4-H Poultry Club

gene Dea&yne by Hi Poultry Club
How to Gull your chickens to get
the poor layers out of the flock will be
demonstrated on the farm of Eugene
Deakyne near Deakyneville school
house on Friday, August 26. The
demonstration is TO be given by two
members of the Deakyneville Al
poultry club and will commence at
2.30 p. NJ. Any person interested in
culling their flock of chickens is in
vited by the members Of the poultry
club to attend. Ed. Willim, Jr., Coun-
ty Club Agent of New Castle County
win be present and assist in the dem
onstration. During the past few
months, according to Mr.. Willim the
egg industry has slumped consider
ably. These low prices can be re-
lieved somewhat by economic egg pro-
duction. Getting rid of the hens that
lay few eggs but eat as much feed as
the good layers is a step in making
the flock of chickens pay better"
continued the Club Agent "This is
the thing we want to explain how to
de, and the public poultry euIling
demonstration is the best means of
educating the poultry raisers in how
to Gull their flocks." The poultry club
members who are to stage the dem
onstration are Magic Warner and
Alice Councill. These girls, with the
remainder of the club members, are
finishing their second year in the
Deakyneville H poultry club under
the direction of the Club Agent
