progress on the construction work

When the gates are installed and
working a device along the rails
lowers the gates as the train ap-
proaches the crossing. A similar
device will also be placed on the
opposite side of the crossing and
will raise the gate after the train
has passed. The gates cs be erect
ed in manner similar to the gate S
now in use. The foundation of each
gate contains an air pump which
works the machinery for raising or
lowering the gates.
Since the completion of the mo-
del, the Heite firm have been work.
ing on a miniature railroad to work
with the model. After this is COM

BY adopting this system it is be-

them installed at crossings where

CHARLES BARKER DIED
AT HIS HOME TUESDAY
[COntirHed from first bage]

INS"E"t~SG JfVm gHSt HNScl
Charles Barker continued to apply
modern methods of management,
and cropping the fields under his
control, and gained through ex-
perience financially and in his men
tai vision of the prosperity that lat
ter came to all agriculturists of
this peninsula.
With the first activities of the
Grange as an organization in Della
ware, Charles Barker was one of it's
earnest supporters, and always de-
pendable for, horticulture issues,
especially to advance the business
of all agriculturalists. He contin-
ued this up to his late years of life.
He was always interested in the
political welfare of his country, es-
pecially Delaware, and believed in
the principles of the Republican
Party. He supported public i'm
provements in his home town and
was one of the men who brought
about public service departments of
Milford; especially the Light and
Water Commission.
For nearly sixty years he has
been a member of the Milford
Presbyterian Church, and most of
the time an elder.
For many years he was an en-
thusiastic follower of the hunting
dogs, and delighted in both upland
and bayshore cunning for geese and
ducks.
Mr.. Barker was known for his
activities as a member of both the
State Grange of Delaware and the
Peninsular Horticultural Society
which covers all of the eastern
shore and Delaware.
A good citizen has passed on, full
of years and happiness as having
lived in peace and harmony with his
fellow man.
