NEED MORE FIRE COMPANIES
Delnlarva Firemen to Learn of

Where 1t is Most Needed

Sensing the need of additional
fire companies in villages on Del

marva Volunteer Firemen's Asso-
citation meeting pledged its efforts
toward such organization work. In
line with this pledge a question

SAVES SELF FROM DROWNING
Man Pinned Under Auto in Rain
Scoops Out Water About Head

How he scooped out miniature
watersheds about his head when it
was pinned under the windshield of
his automobile truck which had
overturned, in order to keep rain
water from drowning him, was the
story told by Edward Coffin, aged
35, of Snow Hill, Md, before he was
taken to Peninsula General Hos
pital in Salisbury. He is suffering
from possible internal injuries from
the 5-hour Imprisonment under the
truck, and several severe burns
from dripping hot oil. Coffin, the
driver of bread truck, was pinned
under his machine when it skidded
and turned over on the Snow Hill
Salisbury road early Monday
morning of last week during rain
storm. The windshield held his
chin firmly buried in the soft earth
alongside of the highway, he said,
and only a single hand and arm
was left free. ut began raining
hard" said Coffin, "and the water
began to stand in the hole around
my face. 1t was then that my
senses were restored by the cool
water, which was then up to my
ears. I realized that something
had to be done SO began to dig
little holes in the earth around my
head with my free hand so that the
water would run into them instead
of the depression around my face.
1t was this alone that saved me
from drowning" The car turned
over at / a. m. and Coffin remained
pinned under it in this helpless po-
sition, with only his loose hand dig
ging little lakes for the watersheds
until 8 a. m. In the meantime, the
hot oil from the car fell on his body
causing painful burns in many
places. DR.. John L. Riley, local
physician, was called after the
mans plight was found and he sent
Coffin to the hospital for observa-
tion, he fearing internal injuries.
Mr.. Coffin, is employed by W. o.
Shoclley, of Snow Hill, Md, and
has resided there practically all Of
his life.

DISPLAY OF EDISON'S FIRST

Thomas A. Edison's First Incan-

played Throughout the Country

New York.-During this summer
and fall, thousands of replicas of
Thomas A. Edison's first incandes-
cent lamp are to be displayed
throughout the United States. This
quaint, Cld-fashiOned bulb will be
one of the features of Lights
Golden Jubilee, the celebration to
commemorate its production 30
years ago.
The replica, an exact duplicate
of the original lamp so far as ex-
ternal appearance is concerned, will
be seen in every city, town and
village from coast to coast. A few
minor changes in construction have
been made in order to adopt it for
use on modern electrical circuits.
Modern lighting owes its being
to this feeble lamp, which on Octo-
ber q, 1879, delighted Mr.. Edison
and his assistants by burning for 40
hours. This was the elimination
of IS months of experiment and an
expenditure of $4,000, carried on
in face of public ridicuie. Few be-
lieved Mr.. Edison could 'tsubdivide
the electric light" which was one
CT the problems to be solved. Such

Recruiters Get Orders Against
Wonderlust Boys to Have Permits

Boys with the germ of wander
lust who although below the army
age limit endeavor at various
times to enlist in the army, will in
the future come up against stone
wall in the form of an edict issued
to recruiting officers: I'm all cases
of doubt reject" The enlistment of
minors and procurement of consent
forms from parents or guardians
have always been vexing questions
at army headquarters. 1t. Col. H.
n. Copper, Infantry, Corps Area re-
cruiting officer, has written to all
recruiting officers under him urg-
ing that in every case where the
officer doubts the truthfulness of a
statement of a youth concerning
his age, the prospective recruit
should be rejected. Army regula-
tions SPECIFY that a youth between
Is and q years must obtain con-
sent of his parents or guardian be-
fore he can enlist. At times, some
youths under q years of age have
appeared at recruiting offices with
the statement that their parents
are dead and that they have no
guardian. In the future such state
ments will be met with a reply
from the recruiting officers that
the applicant, will not be enlisted
until he has guardian appointed
and secures the guardians written
consent to his enlistment. The ap-
pointment of any persons connect
ed with the recruiting service as
guardians of minors for the pur-
pose of furnishing consent to en-
listment is prohibited. Spurious
guardianship must be eliminated,
