MONDAY LAST DAY
ON WHICH CARS MAY
BE INSPECTED FREE
Persons Driving Cars Without
Yellow Inspection Stickers Will
Be Stopped By Police.
WILL ARREST DRIVERS
Persons Operating Unsafe Cars
Will Be Dealt With Severely
After Next Monday.

If YOU are a Delaware automobile
driver and have not had your car
brakes, lights, horn, steering gear
and windshield wiper inspected, you
must do so before next Monday
July Is.
On and after that date State high
wav police will stop all Delaware
cars not carrying the official yellow
insnection sticker. If an inspection
hv the police uncovers defects which
make the driving of the car unsafe,
the car owner will be liable to ar
rest.
Response so far from the motor
ing public has been most gratifying,
and if is hoped that at the end of
this campaign every motor vehicle
registered in Delaware will be dis
nlsving the official inspection
sticker.
Superintendent Reynolds of the
State Police issued orders this week
to all State Highway policemen to
stop all automobiles after July 10
that are not displaying the sticker.
at is hoped that this will not be
necessary, but we mean business, y
said Captain Reynolds, "and we are
after those people who do not pay
any attention to their own safety as
we'll as to the safety of the other
people using our highways.
"This is the last warning to those
people who have not submitted to
the free inspection of their motor
vehicles. Two hundred and fifty
seven official stations are appointed
who will give a free inspection to
every motorist, and no excuses will
be accepted after July Is from those
who have not seen fit to rally to this
most worthy cause of trying to make
our highways a safe place to travel. "
To date the following statistics
have been compiled:
Brakes o. K, 14,5633 adjusted,

reasonable expectation of reconcilia-
ton.
That no children were born to the
parties as a result of said marriage.
