URGES MORE CARE IN
AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

you can't blast your way thru
traffic with your horn" says L. L.
Hopes, Executive Secretary of the
Delaware Automobile Association.
Horns on motor vehicles were
originally designed to give warning
to pedestrians and other users of
the highway in an age when the ap-
proach of an automobile was the
signal for all other moving traffic
to stop and stand in awe by the
roadside.
"Ostensibly horn is still a warn
ing signal, though with many opera
tors its use is anything but a safety
measure. AS an implement of YER
satility it has wide range, but it
seldom is an adequate warning.
True, it might be left on auto
mobiles for those misguided souls
who think they can change the color
of an automatic traffic signal by con-
tinuous pressure on the horn but
ton, or for those who believe that
children can be blown off the
street, or for those supreme gamb-
lers at railroad crossings who think
a locomotive has ears.
"Raucous blasts, ear splitting
whistles and bowling sirens are
a nuisance.

COMMUNICATED

December 10, 1927.
Editor, Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir:
The Commissioners of the Town
of Millsboro have all seen the ar
ticle you published last week about
the Main Street Of our town.
We personally feel that the writer
of this article was a citizen of the
town and not a visitor, and that he
or she had more Of a desire to cast
a reflection CT slur upon the Com
missioners than to offer construct
i've criticism. We also feel that
this person might do the town and
state a favor by offering some sug-
gestion that might improve matters,
but generally the one who wishes to
and at the same time hide
their face, are not able to improve
The Commissioners of the town
have just spent $1,000 of the towns
money putting a concrete gutter on
Main street, and as the street Is the
of the State, it is the duty
of the State Highway Department to
take care of the drainage and not
the town. The Commissioners have
been promised by the State High
way Departments engineer that if
the town would pay the expense of
putting in the concrete cutters, he
would guarantee to keep the water
off the street. The cutters have
just been completed and we believe
that the promise made by the State
Highway engineer will be kept and
that in the very near future this sit
uation, which the writer delighted
so last week in writing about, will
be corrected.
Hoping that you will give this
letter publication, and that you will
not again publish an article written
by party who is even ashamed to
give his or her name to. the news
paper that is asked to publish it,
[ am,
Very truly yours,
J. REESE WHITE,
President Commissioners Town of

cent of accidents that a horn was
sounded, but proof of it's Ineffective
ness is attested by the fact that the
accident occurred. Too many driv-
ers place their sole reliance in their
horns or other signaling devices to
clear their paths and get them
across intersections without disas-
ter, when their better Judgment
would dictate the limitation of
speed to rate which enables in
slant control.
"The law puts it squarely up to
the operator of motor vehicles to
be careful, and when we begin to
look on traffic accidents as 'acci-
dents by automobile drivers instead
of automobile accidents then less
reliance will be placed on inanimate
equipment and more responsibility
on the operator for his questionable
judgment.
Experience proves it dangerous
to place any dependence upon horns
as a means of preventing disaster"

STORY OF GEORGE COBAUGH'S
TOUR IN PENNSYLVANIA

1t is always interesting to the
traveller, and sometimes interesting
to the friends back home, to read &
brief story of tour by auto through
other states. Basing my cause fol
this letter from me on this, am
asking the Chronicle to print it.
The trip from Glendale to Som
erset, Penna., began it's Urinary at
the home town, and thence by way
of the Claibourne Ferry across the
Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis, and
during this part of the voyage we
saw a "water-spOut" which formed
during hard rain storm, but for
tunately it avoided the course of our
steamer.
A brief stop at Annapolis and then
on to Washington for another brief
stop before going to Winchester, Va.
From there to the Luray Caverns
and a trip through these wonders of
nature, was one of the most beauti-
full parts of our tour. We camped
there over night.
Up through the Virginia Valley to
Cumberland, where the Fair was
then in progress, gave opportunity
to visit it and get an idea as to the
products of the farmers and fruit
growers of that part of very pros
porous country.
While passing through Virginia
we saw many convicts working on
the public roads, and miles of stone
fences that would cost many thous- !
ands of dollars to build by free Ia
Dor in these days.
From Cumberland the way was
over mountains and hills to my
home town of Somerset, Pa, where |
the meetings with old friends that |
we had not seen for twenty-one
years, or since we left that part of
Pennsylvania for the fine old State
of Delaware, has been one of the
chief pleasures of this very delight
full trip.
The early frost and freezing wea-
Their killed most of the corn crop
here before it matured this year.
The apple crop is very small in
this part of Pennsylvania, and it
will be easy to understand the wea-
Their conditions, when it delivered
six inches of snow on October 18th,
while bit later the heavy rains
floods to course down the
mountain Valleys-in several places
he water overlooked the stream
banks to the depth of eight feet,
lcross some of the roads.
On the 18th of November a lorna
10 swept over this part of the state
Which did lots of damage, by smash
ng windows, destroying barns, si-
os and uprooted great trees. 1t all
occurred in less than five minutes.
After so many years in Delaware
Ihere the cold weather is only tran
1tory, 1 find that the cold of the
fountains up here at 4 degrees be-
ow zero is a real affliction; espe-
tally when the wind is whistling
round corners at an altitude of 22OO
eet above the sea level.
Like other places the greatest in
crest was manifested in Somerset :
y the first exhibit of the new Ford >
ar. The dealer here gave a road z
EST OF the car and took nearly three
undred orders for cars on Deem
err 5th.
Believe me, that when the mer- 3
lry gets to dropping to zero here, 2
makes me feel like starting back 3

LONDON, July 9.--Take one Ameri'
can back yard. any size. Add a
shovel. Stir thoroughly. And cook up
an adventure which makes trip
around the world look like a mere
stroll from Forty.first to Forty-second
street. If you've selected the right
back yard, your trip will carry you
back ten thousand years before the
birth of Tutankhamen. You should
get a lot of fun. and you may get a
lot of fame. Hugh S. Gordon OF
London is getting more fun and more
fame every day. He happened to pick
a back yard which for untold centuries
had beensa dump heap.
~ perfect forore of digging in gar
dens has started here as a result OF
the latest treasures discovered by Mr..
Gordon in the past week. His finds
include dozens of handwrouSht Eliza
bethan gold buttons and the skeleton
of a horse which died hundreds OF
years ago. The careful burial and
funeral trappings of this horse pre-
sent a conundrum to which the
British Museum is striving to find the
answer.
Urges Experiments Here.
Last Spring the London mining en-
gineer, who is a member of the
Franklin Institute of Philadelphia,
dug up a beautiful Phoenician jewel.
and his trophies now include relics
ranging from modern to paleolithic
times.
1T might pay Americans to expert
ment in their own back yards with
discrimination and a shovel" said Mr..
Gordon today, standing at the bottom
of the 30-foot pit into which his rose
garden has developed. THE Ameri-
can continent has seen several civil,
izations. each of which left its trace:
prehistoric Indian, historic Indian.
Viking, pilgrim, Spanish and, as some
ethnologists claim, Monaghan. The
point is that each settlement or camp
of each civilization had it's ash heap.
Here were thrown broken ornaments.

West now, he says, are well to do
and are riding in good cars, which
is a contrast with the past.
Better roads and more and better
hotel accommodations along national
highways account for the higher
class Of tourists" he says. Aston
ishingly few parties carry camping
equipment other than perhaps a con-
venient automobile stove. Many stop
at hotels at night, and those who stop
at automobile camps now prefer places
where they can get little cabin and
avoid the trouble of setting up tent.
Old-time Camp Going.
It really seems, SO far as cross
country travel is concerned, that the
old-fashioned automobile camp. pro-

viding only space for camping, will
disappear entirely within few years
in favor of the more modern camp
with clean, attractive cabins, which
can be rented cheaply by the night
or the week"
The old Western trailss lined with
skeletons of horses and wreckage Of
covered wagons, have given way to
smooth motor highways. But skele-
tons, says Hankey. still line the
routes-skeletons of weary fiivvers
and "used-cSr bargains" which
couldn't quite take their owners all
the way across the wide-and hot
open spaces.

Tin CAM TOURISTS
FAST DISAPPEARING
Survey of Cross-U. S. Roads
Shows Better Class
of Travellers.
BY CARL G.. BENJAMIN.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The
tin can" tourist, so familiar in west
ward highway travel in former y.ars,
is disappearing from the roads, accord.
ing to I. A. Hankey, tour expert OF
Californians. Inc, who has just COM
pleted a 5,000-mile motor trip. over the
roads leading from the East and Mid
die West into northern California.
During his whole jaunt. Hankey told
the writer. he saw but two disrepu-
table automobiles-and they were both
headed East.
Times have changed, says Hankey,

hundreds of families to load every

and pu' into rattling flivver and
head for the West, living off the

Sees Novelty Wearing OF.
The reasons for the change, he
thinks. are. first, that the novelty of
motoring has worn off; second, that
many have learned to their sorrow
that they can't live in California on
just sunshine and oranges. They
have found it is not much fun, after
all, motoring across the country in a

ever breed at the park, probably due
to the fact that they are not provided
with ultraviolet rays of the sun dur
ing the long Winter. Eventually it is
hoped to equip all the buildings with
glass which will admit these rays. In
ZOOS where it has been installed the
animals not only have seemed more
healthy but have produced families.
All of the young animals now at
the park are being left to the care of
their mothers. but a close watch Is
kept on them so that they can be
rescued if parental affectic1 turns to
hate, as it often does in the animal
kingdom.
