dent, he may deduct such losses IN the
computation Of his income tax. This

citation points out, whether the vehicle

The motorists's contention that he
should be entitled to this deduction,

decisions Of the Board Of Appeals on
such losses. The case arises from an
accident a motorist sustained in 1924
at Richmond, Virginia, He had paid
$1,000 for his automobile which when
wrecked, was being driven by his
daughter for pleasure. The salvage
was $13545, being approximately the
value of the tires. The motorist IN

that the motorist is entitled to thi;
deduction, was sustained the Boaro

SUSSEX ROBBERIEs SOLVED
Auto Accident Furnishes Clue to
LoOters of Thirteen Delaware Stores


With the arrest of Earl E. Walls,21,
and Ivon Mears, 10, both of Milton,
State Detective Donaway, of George
town, has solved thirteen robberies in
lower Delaware, involving about $1,000
in mony and goods, within a month
The arrests followed an automobile
accident on the Cave Neck road, near
Milton, when Walls and Mears took
from a garage the car Of John R.Mar-
vel of that town. The automobile was
ditched and Mears was cut about the
face and a cap left in the machine.
With the cap az a clue, DOnaway a.
certained Walls and Mears had taken
the car and had two women with them
Both are said To have admitted the
thefts and to have stated they made
seven trips to complete the jobs and
each time stole an automobile. On
December %, they robbed two Selby-
Vile stores, using an automobile be-
! longing To Eary Baker. In the car
two neckties were found which Dona-
way discovered belonged to George
MCGEE, Of Selbyville This served as
y clue and he succeeded in connecting
| Walls with the robbery.
Tracing the theft Of Marvels ma
chine to Walls and Mears, Walls was
arrested and admitted that theft as
well az the other robberies. After
several hours questioning in Magis-
trate Mustard's Office there, he impli-
Gated Mears in the crimes.
Donaway and Corporal r. D. In
gram, Of the State police force, went
to Milton, arrested Mears and brought
him before Magistrate Mustard.
| Mears admitted being with Walls in
all of the robberies. A charge OF
stealing the Marvel car also was log
ed against him.
Most of the stolen goods have been
recovered by Donaway, being found IN
bureau drawers in the home of MearS
and Walls, and in an abandoned house
in Milton. Saturday the merchants
were called to Georgetown to identify
the stolen goods. In 1925 Walls anC

ton has placed health among the
leading subjects to ne taught in tno

system of education is based on the
state OF physical health. on the abil-
ity of the child to see and to hear.

member
Vision, Hearing, Colds
Nevertheless, in many communi-
ties when the child reaches school
age he is sent to the teacher with
out adequate knowledge of whether
or not his vision and his hearing
are normal.
If the child has a cold, his dispo-
sition may be disturbed and his at
tention poor
Certainly a child with frequent
toothaches cannot keep his mind on
what the teacher is saying
The undernourished child be-
comes tired quickly and responds to
fatigue with nervousness and irri-
liability
Practically all of the defects that
have been mentioned are easily re-
medied, provided they are found in
time. Defects of sight can be over
come by glasses. Troubles with
hearing due to infections in the nose
and throat may be relieved if not
overcome. Decayed or abscessed
teeth can be repaired or removed.
Jnderweight can be checked by
providing proper nutrition and as
surfing regular eating
Examination, Correction
The two important factors are:
IA physical examination of the
child as he begins school: "a cor
rection OF his bad health habits.
The family physician who has fol-
lowed the child from infancy TO
school age can make such an ex-
animation as is necessary and can
refer the child if desirable, to the
dentist. the oculist or other special
lists who are expert in the control
of certain defects.
Nothing is more important than
that the child be in the best posi-
BILE physical condition as school
starts. Too Often parents think only
of furnishing the child with new
clothing, books and school supplies
when if is far more important to
see that his health needs are sup

'Oh. I don't think she's crying

guess it's nothing but what a chance
to drive that car would cure. Oh.

was on the way to her room. fol-
lowed more slowly and went direct

lightly so that Lillian. who I hoped
was asleep in her own room, might
not be disturbed.
Marion opened the door with a
look which was halt defiance and
half appeal. That she had been
weeping was plain, but I also saw
that she had been trying to efface
