they appeared at the Dover Opera
House to enjoy a show they found
that the sophomores had found their
trail and landed in Dover in spec
ial bus.
AS the freshmen made their way
into the theatre they were. pelted
with small bags of flour, turnips and
other articles, but the Sophs did not
follow them into the theatre. In
stead they waited on the outside and
kept watch. Some of the freshmen
appeared and were at once man
handled by the other class. There
was a general mixup and window
was broken. 1t was at this point
that Sheriff Frazier appeared and
quelled the disturbance.
After the admonitiOn of the
sheriff, the Sophs disappeared and a
short time later returned to New
ark in their bus. AS soon as the bus
had disappeared in the distance the
freshmen came out of hiding and
went to their cars preparatory to
starting for home. But they did not
start. They found that the Sophs
had taken the gasoline out of their
cars and filled the tanks with water

TELEPHONE SERVICE
TO Be BETTERED
[COntiunsd from first bagsl


Gifted by the construction of toll
lines in cable entering the cities.
The ultimate plan of the telephone
company is to construct complete
storm-proOf cable between Will
mington and Dover and to replace
the open lines that are now used.
The toll entrance cables to be
built i'll 1928 in these cities are the
initial steps in the fuTtherance of
this plan.
Close to 100000 is to be spent
for building construction during the
year. The erection of the new
Wilmington central office building
will be continued in order that it
may be in service for subscribers
as soon as possible.
1t is estimated that approximately
1000 telephones will be added to the
system in Delaware during the
year. These are the net growth fig
ures which will result from the esti-
mated installation of 1000 tele-
phones and the removal of 5000 tele-
phones due to new business, people
moving from one part of the state
to another and other causes.
During 1927 about $4,000 daily
local calls were handled in the
state. According to telephone engi-
neers more than ISL, 500 such calls
will be handled daily through the
Switchboards during the coming
year. The Out-of-town calls are
likewise expected to increase. The
1aily average of out-of-town calls |
IN 1927 was approximately $500. |
During the coming year they are ex-
Dected to average around 5000.

their wing and gave comforts to
members of the crew. Due to the
fact that the vessel had been tossed
about helplessly in high seas, and
the extremely cold weather, it was
feared at first that some of the
members may have suffered from
exposure.
The cutter Acushnet reported hav-
ing rescued the vessel from a peri
lous anchorage 40 miles south of
New York after the craft had been
tossed for Sc hours. The Porto
Rican freighter Coamo, first sighted
the schooner and offered to take off
the crew of ten men but they re-
fused to leave. The cutter Seminole
was then sent out to search for the
craft but after twelve hours re-
turned to New York.
In the meantime the Acushnet had
taken the boat in tow and headed

NEW AUTO SPEED LAWS
MAKE SAFETY FOR ALL
[Centinned from Erst paael

Grating a vehicle at a speed greater
than Is miles an hour when passing
any school during recess or while
children are going to and from
school.
cit also is a violation of the code
to operate at a speed greater than
20 miles an hour when within so
feet of and in traversing an inter
section of highways in a business or
residence district.
"The code provides for 20 mile
speed limits where formerly the linn
it was Is miles. This provision is
effective wherever local authorities
have erected signs so stating in let
ters not less than four inches in
height.
"No motorist need ever get in
trouble over speed if he observes the
cardinal rule of safe driving-cau-
ton and consideration at all times.
Even a speed of 20 miles an hour on
a highway where 35 is permitted
might, under certain conditions, be
criminal. 1t is the duty of each in
lividual driver to so operate his car
that he does not endanger himself
1r other users of the highway"

This year, he said, there were $50
miles of highways to care for. The
maintenance of these roads was at
tended to for $265.70 a mile, or
$3.50 less than the 1926 cost. With
standards for maintenance more ex-
acting than those of any State in the
union, this years record is particu-
larly gratifying, he added.
He cites that the calls upon the
highway police and the service they
render have become so general that
their duties as highway patrolmen is
becoming conspicuously less each
year. Their field as law enforcing
officers is increasing, he said, and
their usefulness is becoming gener-
ally recognized.
The State highway police organi-

the year they made 2,414 arrests, is
sued AGA reprimands, recovered sc
stolen autos before December 1; in
spected 1854 vehicles for proper
brakes, lights, etc., and devoted 1923
hours to Investigations and 9,026
hours on special assignments. Fines
received prior to December totaled
$41,927SS.
Motor vehicle inspectors operating |
from the Office of the Secretary of |
State co-operated with the police |
during the year to the extent of |
making 2O3 arrests which netted
fines of $3.50.
During the year the police ar
rested 292 persons for driving cars
without rear view mirrors; PIP for
driving without licenses; IA for no
title, 10 for operating a car after
their license had been revoked; 243
for driving while drunk; IS for driv-
ing overloaded trucks; 80 for pass
ing on the right; SIS for reckless
driving; 1853 for driving unregistered
cars.
The cost of operating the State
police force from January
[, to December l, was $S4,644.12.
During the same period fines amOun-
ing to $41,927.33 were collected.
The net cost to the state this year
or the maintenance of the police
las been 500 a month per man.
Examination of intoxicated drivers {
ost $54O; administration, $2,80174; t
alaries of uniformed officers, $685.
