Word has been recently received
that Dallas Kitchens, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. R. Kitchens, has been sig

WOULD EXAMINE ALL
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
Continued from first page)

c. c. Reynolds, Superintendent
OF the State Police had an illustra-
ton within the past month of the
necessity for such an examination.
The driver of a truck involved in
an accident could neither read or
write and the accident came about
through his illiteracy. Had he been
able to read warning sign along
the highway and had obeyed it, the
accident would not have occurred.
State records for 1925 and 1926
for all the states in the Union,
showed that there was an increase
of about per cent in auto fatali-
ties. There were during 1926, %,
900 persons killed throughout the
United States in motor accidents.
In eleven States which compels
the driver of motor car to pass an
examination, there was marked i'm
provment over all other States.
Four of these eleven States had de-
creases, two others had increases
of per cent, and 2 per cent, and
the total for the entire eleven
States showed an increase of 2.3
per cent.

PUBLIC OPINION

The public has always been char
ged with making its own bed That
public opinion decides what the pub
lie not the public servant, deter
mines the service given the public.
That what is in the movies, schools,
stores, magazines, newspapers and
churches is there because it is the
public wish.
An illustration is provided by the
announcement of o motion picture
actress, who made her debut and
fame in juvenile parts, that she was
forced at maturity to retire because
the public would only accept her
in juvenile roles and they were no
longer tasteful to her.
The will of the public can not be
denied by business if business is to
thrive. And not only business but
art, literature, education and religion
must bow to this arbitrary will or
opinion. Whatever the public taste
may be--good or bad, high or low--it
must be reckoned with and acuiesced
to.
That this general surrender to the
public will continues is not charge
able to the servants of the public.
The servants must do as it is hidden
or no longer be the servant. If
public opinion is sometimes wrong
only the public can be blamed.

REPLACEMENT OF IDEAS is
NECESSARY

The successful newspaper man is
the one who realizes that replace
ment of ideas is as important as re-
placement of machinery. 1t is just
as easy for ones ideas to get old and
out of date as for press to get out
of date, and results can be far more
disastrous to a business. The chief
object of editorial association con-
ventions is to promote the circula-
ton of new ideas. An editor can't
help but absorb something of value
to himself if he spends two or three
days now and then mixing with his
own kind. This applies with equal
force to any business manager. in
store or factory. Sit at home with
out new contact and you will grow
narrow, or even intollerant as to
common business affairs. Circulate,
discuss problems and learn from
others, and prosperity will follow.

FRUIT GROWERS HEAR
MARKETING EXPERT
continued from first page)

that the fruit growers are making
every possible effort to produce ap-
pies of first grade and of the high
est quality, in addition to following
the most rigid system of grading
and packing in order to realize the
greatest profit upon the eastern
markets. Through their various CO.
operative associations, the growers
are encouraged to prune, spray, and
thin their fruit as means of pro-
ducing fruit which will conform to
their standards of grading and pack
ing. They also utilize all of the
Gull fruit to good advantage, and
do not permit the market to be DOM
mated by inferior grades which are
kept out of the regular channels of
| trade.
In mentioning the possible control
of the distribution of farm products,
Dr.. Bomberger stated that every
possible effort should be put forth by
the growers to expand and develop
new markets along with more uni
form standard of grading and pack
ing, and he also made plea for a
more united effort upon the part of
the farmers on this Peninsula to es-
Itablish a brand for all farm pro-
ducts which will be known and lee
lognized throughout the country and
Thereby establish a reputation for
high quality products which this sec
ton of the United States rightfully
deserves.
Following DR.. Bomberger's adj
dress, a short talk was given by
Harvey J. Hill of the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association, in which
he stressed the fact that very few
people on the Peninsula have ever
been interested in producing a high
grade product to demand the high
est market prices. He also empha-
sized the necessity of the fruit
growers raising fewer varieties of
apples, and adhering only to those
varieties which are most demanded
by the markets if the farmers in this
part of the United States are to ever
realize more satisfactory returns
from their crop sales each year.
DR.. G. Layton Grier, newly elected
president of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association, also spoke to the
growers, and urged them to cooper
ate and establish uniform standards
of products as the only means of
their obtaining greater profits, and
expressed the desire of the associa-
ton to work with the Delaware
Fruit Growers Association, the Kent
Grape Growers Association, and
other cooperative organizations on
the Peninsula in their efforts toward
forming better marketing program
for all kinds of farm products, and
thereby placing the fruit industry on
a more economical basis.

opportunity for an actress barely in

made that she will scale the heights
of motion picture fame as did Gloria
Swanson. Leatrice Joy. Bebe Dan
iels, Wallace Reid, Rod La ROGUE
and others who had the benefit of
training in the De Mile school.
Miss Fair first attracted attention
in "The Miracle Man." in which she
played the part of the crippled girl
when she was hardly more than a
child Parts in 'Kismet," Driven"
and Through the Back Door" in
creased her ability and reputation,
and then a series of pictures for
Fox gave her her chance. De Mile
saw her in a western production,
and promptly sent for her. After
exhaustive screen tests she was
signed for 1.-THE Volga Boatman."
Konrad Borcovici wrote 'The
Volga Boatman" for De Miles pur-
pose, and Lenore Coffee prepared it
for shooting The cast features
Miss Fair, William Boyd, Victor
Varconi. Julia Faye and Theodore
Kosloff. Others in the cast are
Robert Edeson and Arthur Rankin.
The scenes of the picture are laid
in revolutionary Russia and are
said to be intensely dramatic and
thrilling.

of consolidation passed by the board

in the districts closed.
Must Hold New Referendum
In regard to the school building
program the board, after consider
ton of the relationship between the
building provisions of 1921 and
those of the law of 1927, decided
that the latter should be followed
in detail. This will require that
even those districts which have
authorized issuance of bonds, but
have not sold them, will have to
hold another referendum bond elect
ion for authorization under the 1927
act, after it has been determined by
the board whether or not these dis
tricts can be included in its pro-
gram for State aid.
A new building code was adopted
by the board modifying the old code
in certain details, among other
things decreasing slightly the size
of school rooms and reducing the
toilet facilities. School sites will
also be reduced under the new
code. In the opinion of the board
this will permit them to maintain
all the feature OF heating, light
and other provisions necessary to
health.
Change in Transportation
The board passed a resolution
modifying regulations concerning
transportation of school children in
districts to he consolidated, whereby
no transportation will be provided
in such districts to pupils living

DELAWARE AND MARYLAND
SETTLE TRUCK TROUBLE
CONTINUED from Page onel

At the last conference held in Mary
land a plan was devised whereby it
was hoped a settlement might be
reached.
During the investigation it was
found that there were very few
Maryland trucks operating on Della
ware roads that could be compelled
to take out Delaware licenses, I'm
der the law. Maryland found the
same situation in reference to Della
ware trucks. Now it has been de-
cided by both states to allow full
reciprocity to trucks.
The situation relating to milk
trucks was the most difficult part
of the controversy to settle. Mary
land insisted that the Delaware
milk trucks using their roads take
out Maryland tags.
Maryland, however, has agreed to
allow the milk trucks to operate on
their roads without Maryland tags.

TOO MUCH MARRIAGE

Prince Leopoland of Belgium and
Princess Asstrid of Sweden have to
be married three times to make it
stick. Two church ceremonies and
a civil ceremony will go to the we'd

then, few are.
That means that if they ever try
to get divorced, they will have to
take three strikes on that. Frying
them apart will be harder than
