DRUNKEN DRIVERS
ARE ON THE INCREASE
Officials Say That Drunken Drivers
Fluctuate At Regular Intervals

With four drunken drivers having
their licenses revoked in the latter
part of the past week it would seem
as though another epidemic of this
class of offenders is about due, ac-
cOrding to officials of the Secretary
of States office.
After several such offenders dur
ing Christmas, the number of
drunks who attempted to menace
the lives and property of others by
driving cars while intoxicated, fell
off a bit. Records show that the
drunken driver menace runs in epi-
denies or periods. There will be
periods when the number of COM
plants will leap forward for few
weeks and then they will fall OFF.
William Ball, in charge of the tit
ling department has arranged with
the motor vehicle commissioners of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey to
frustrate the efforts of Delaware
drivers convicted of operating a ma
chine while drunk, to obtain licen-
ses in those States. Various in
stances have been ferreted out, in
which a driver refused license in
Delaware has gone to Chester and
obtained residence for a long
enough time to obtain a Pennsylva-
mia license. He would return to
Delaware and drive his car under
the Pennsylvania privilege.
The same is true of certain Sec
tions in New Jersey, it is stated and
it is to prevent such tactics that the
motor vehicle commissioners of the
two neighboring states have been
conferred with.
They have both promised Mr.. Ball
that whenever notified of a Della
ware offender being refused a IL

Delaware Estates Taxed
$2OO,4S3 During 1927

On account of the Federal
tax on estates of descendants,
Delaware in 1927 contributed
a total of 0O,4S9, which was
more than the total of any
one of % other states.
In the whole country, the
tax yielded the Federal gov
ernment $69,841,S92 last year,
compared with s1O7,341,9O5 in
1926. The large falling off in
receipts is accounted for in
part, if not altogether, by mod
ification of the tax and in
crease of the exemption in the
revenue act of 1926.
On account of the Federal
tax on admission to theatres
and other places of amuse-
ments in 1927, Delaware peo-
pie paid a total of $16,249. In
the whole country, this tax
yielded S17,835.S1S last year,
compared with $50, Q,90O,775 in
1926. This tax too was modi-
fled by the revenue act of
1926.
Internal revenue receipts
from the Federal tax on tobac-
co manufactures in 1927 ac-
counted for payments in Del
aware totaling $633,575, COM
pared with $740,94O in the
preceding year. Delaware
cigar manufacturers paid
taxes of $207,277 and manu-
facturers of tobacco and snuff
paid $526,1OS last year. Taxes
on cigarette paper and tubes
made in Delaware amounted
to $189.

MILFORD BOY THROWN
IN AIR BY CATAPAULT
Lieutenant J. Lockwood Pratt Sue
ceSSfully Operates AirpIane In Test

A clipping from a Pensacola, Fla,
newspaper relates of a thrilling ex-
perience enjoyed by Lieutenant j..
Lockwood Pratt, son of DR.. and
Mrs. J. Lynn Pratt, at the naval
base at Pensacola. The story as
printed in the southern newspaper
follows:
"The Pensacola naval air station
is again shooting planes into the
air by means of a. catapult. The
fourteen-ton air catapult that yes
terday fired it's first shot since being
installed here is great departure
from the experimental one that was
installed on a coal barge and from
which Lieutenant Bellinger made a
successful fight in 1914.
"Piloted by Lieutenant Gg) j. l..
Pratt and with Lieutenant l.. j.
Maxson, construction corps, as a
passenger, a 10 seaplane was sue
cessfully catapulted shortly before
noon yesterday. Probably due to.
the calmness of the air at the time
of the shot, the plane dropped
slightly after leaving the end of the
catapult and there was a breath
taking second in which many of the
spectators expected to see it fall.
Lieut.. Pratt Immediately pulled back
on his controls and the plane was
soon gaining altitude.
"The initial launching from the
catapult was witnessed by the heads
of practically all departments, by
many instructors from the fight
and technical schools and by many
of the student pilots that are to re-
ceive catapult training. The 10
type seaplane that is to be used in
this training is the same type that
is carried by the battleships and
cruisers. A later type, an O2U, is
now being issued to some of the
ships of the fleet"
