He Was Driver of Auto Alleged to
Have Struck and Injured Jas. White
Frank Whelan of Linwood, Pa,
whose automobile struck James White
on Sunday afternoon, September 4, on
the highway between Milton and
Overbrook, injuring him so badly that
death resulted in the Beebe Hospital,
at Lewes, on September 6, has been
released from bond by the Sussex
county authorities. Deputy Attorney
General Howard J. Cooke, of George
town, after making an exhaustive in
vestigation Of the case, did not present
bill of Indictment against him,
charging him with manslaughter. On
the day of the accident, Mr.. Whelan,
accompanied by relatives, was on his
way from Linwood to Rehoboth Beach
where they intended to spend Labor
Day. While driving along the con-
crete highway between Whites Chapel
and Overlook, Mr.. White was struck
and mortally wounded. The cause of
the accident is said to have been due
to the fact that when the Whelan car
attempted to pass another machine he
was crowded off the highway too far
with the result that Mr.. White was
struck. Mr.. White was a prominent
farmer, mill owner and brother-in-law
Of Congressman Robert G. Houston
of Georgetown.

WHEAT VARIETY EXPERIMENT
Farmers of Kent County Given OPP
pOrtunity to Note Two Varieties
to be Tested on Farm at Dover

For the past three years expert
mental work has been conducted in the
Newark, Middletown and Cool Spring
areas of the state by the Agronomy
Department of the University of Del
aware Experiment State to determine
the most profitable varieties of wheat
to plant on our Delaware farms, and
the results of these tests have shown
that certain varieties and strains will
yield more in some sections and less
in other areas in the state. As a more
direct means of determining the best
varieties of wheat for Kent county,
however, a test plot has been estab-
lished this fall on the farm of d. NJ.
Wilson & Sons, near Dover, where
some exceptionally high yields of
wheat have been harvested during the
past two years as the result of good
cultural practices and fertilization.
Through the cooperation of Prof.
George L. Schuster, Agronomist, of
the Delaware Experiment Station, ar
rangements were made by Kent Coun
ty Agent Russell E. Wilson whereby
this variety experiment would be con-
Quoted on this particular farm this
coming year, and the two varieties of
wheat that are being sown are the
Pennsylvania A" and the Forward"
which are being planted in comparison
with the 'Leaps Prolific" which is
one of the varieties most generally
planted in this part Of the state. OBJ
sevations will be made concerning
the growth and development of these
varieties of wheat during the coming
fall and winter months, and at har-
vest time a record will be secured of
the yields from the three plots, each
of which comprise an area of about
six acres.

IRON FOUNDRY
IS PURCHASED
BY CHEVROLET
$4,500,000 Saginaw Plant
to Make Castings
for Automobile.

w. s. Knudsen, president Of the
Chevrolet Motor Company, today
announced that Chevrolet has taken
over the mammoth gray iron foun-
dry OF the Saginaw Products Com
pany at Saginaw.
The acquisition adds a $4,500,000
institution to the company'S rapid
ly developing manufacturing opera
tons and provides Chevrolet with
foundry facilities second to none in
the industry.
New Machinery Put In
Knudson recently completed an
inspection tour Of Chevrolet plants
in Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Saginaw,
Buffalo. Tarrytown and Bloomfield,
and points out that the acquisition
of the Saginaw plant brings Chew
rolet manufacturing facilities to the
highest point of completeness and
efficiency yet attained.
The Saginaw foundry will be de-
voted exclusively to the pouring of
Chevrolet castings. The new con-
veyor system and other labor saving
devices, recently installed, give the
plant a melting capacity of 800 tons
of metal daily.
Outstanding among the features
OF the large plant Is the ingenuity

Cushions Are Distinct
Stutz cushions are as distinct an

CAUSE OF Tire
WEAR OUTLINED
w. C. Boetcher Gives List
of Tread Troubles.

Several operating conditions are
responsible for variations in tire
mileage" declares w. G. Boetcher
of the Meridian service Station, at
81 w. New York st.
"For instance, small diameter
wheels decrease tire mileage. An
other variable is the effect Of brak-
ing severely. Application Of two
wheel brakes suddenly has a ten
dency to lock the wheels, in many
cases causing skidding, and often
leaves a trace of rubber on the
pavement and a fiat place on the
tread.
with four-wheel brakes, the car
can be brought to a sudden stop,
and it is practically impossible to
slide the wheels.
Resulting wear On tires IS there
fore over the entire circumference.
This makes it very difficult to prove
excessive use of brakes, but never
theless the tires will show fast wear
mechanical irregularity, such as
misalignment Of wheels or rims
bent spindles, wobbly wheels or I'M
even brake adjustments, take their
toll. Fast driving also means RAPID
tread wear. Rough road surfaces
in hilly country are harder on tire
mileage than level territory and
sroooth roads.
"Tires wear out faster IN summer
than in winter and tread wear Il
faster on dry roads than on wet.

birthday anniversary. "The Beggar's
Opera" was brought to New York in
1850. 1t was % years old then. land
quite fascinated Colonial Manhattan.
George Washington. who saw sub
sequent revival of the piece, is record
ed as having been much interested in
it. The duel between Alexander Ham
ilton and Aaron Burr is said to have
been precipitated in the charms Of
the English beauty then playing the
part of Polly Peachum.
During the season of 192021 a brief
tour of the United States was made by
an English production of THE Beg
gar's Opera" and New York, Chicago,
Montreal and Toronto were among the
cities visited. The reception accorded
the play at that time was sufficiently
encouraging to warrant the return Of
the same company the following year
for tour of "a weeks. The present
production. direct from the Lyric The
alter, London. is reported to be the
first ever seen of this opera in Wash
ington.
From a musical angle THE Beg
gar's Opera" is intriguing. John Gay
wrote it as satire on two abuses
then dominant in England in the early
part of the eighteenth century. The
first abuse was the universal corrup-
ton Of the ministry of Sir Robert
Wa'pole, prime minister under George
II. and the second was the court influ-
ence of Italian opera. which enjoyed
the patronage not only OF the King
but OF Handel, his court musician.
The stereotyped. artificial conventions
of this operate form left the populace
cold to it's charms, with the result
that the populace was musically neg
lected.
Thus it happened that while the
dramatic theme of THE Beggar's OPP.
era" became a satire on corrupt poll
tics, its music introduced no less than
60 popular ballad tunes of the period,
which were boldly appropriated by the
author. who strung new words upon
them and made them carry along their
share of the plot. In this fashion
THE Beggar's Opera" served rs an
early model for the long list of ballad
operas that have subsequently, ap-
peared in English, including the Gil
bert and Sullivan canon. and served
at the time TO laugh Italian opera al
most out of existence in England.
John Gay cannily selected az a mu-
sical arranger none other than IA
