Dr.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
 Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results Of constipation for ~ years, anl believed that no matter how care ful people are of their health, diet and exercise. constipation will oc- cur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Of next importance. then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Cald- well always was in favor of getting as close 10 natul as possible. hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is mild Vegeta ble compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming prepara- ton. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tast ing, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect.
 Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for hu- man beings 10 put into their sys- tens. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly more cleanly. and gently, without gripping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation, It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by

MEXICAN BORDER
 SUDDENLY CLOSED
Americans Caught on Wrong
 Side MlroonM for Hours

Nogales. Ariz.. April 24 R- Scores of Americans. caught on the Mexican side of the border when revolutionary officials closed the in. ternational line abruptly and with out explanation about midnight were permitted to return to Ameri- can soil at , o'clock this morning.
 The Americans were in the cafes and other amusement places of the Mexican town when the interna- tional gate was closed. Mexican au- thorities at first refused to permit passase of anyone into Sonora from American soil, but later allowed a young woman relative of General J. Gonxalo Escobar. revolutionary commander n-chief, to reenter Mex ican territory.
 Shortly afterward General Fran cisco Borquez, commander Of the Nogales garrison- announced that the border hereafter would be closed from midnight to 9 a. m. News of tho revolutionary developments was lacking in view of the closing order.
 Reports that rebel troops had met and repulsed federal soldiers at Masiaca. Southern Sonora. were re- ceived at revolutionary headquar- ters in Agua Prieta. Sonora. last night from General Fausto Topete. insurrectto leader. Topete reported that the federal advance guard had ned "after 700 of its men had been killed or captured"
 Expect Federal Attack
 Axua Prieta continued prepara- tions for a possible federal attack. Thousand of feet of barbed wire en- tanglements were erected just out side the trenches which encircle the border town.
 Developments yesterday and last night also indicated that Nogales, Sonora, headquarters was expecting to zee more action. A federal air plane. apparently from Mexicali. Baja California. fiew over the town and dropped several bombs during the day. No damage was reported.
 General Escobar conferred here with Brigadier General Frank S. 'OCuCus VI U hANSu StoASO forces along the border. The subject of their conference was not dis closed. It was announced. however, that General Cocheu had establish ed temporary headquarters here and that a battery of American field ar- tillery had been brought to Nogales from Don Luis. Ariz. Rebel guards patrolled the Mexican side of the line closely. General Francisco Bor- auez ordered rebel customs guards to permit no Mexican automobiles to enter the United States.
 Three Mexicans charged with be- ing federal spies were executed by firing squads yesterday. Two whose names were not disclosed were shot in Nogales, Sonora. while a third. Just Aviala. a taxicab driver. was ex- ecuted at Hermosillo, capital of the state.

BERLIN MUST PAY
 CITY BIGGER FEE
 FOR FIRE TRUCKS
(Continued from First Page)

tation for an eighth fire house in New Britain to serve a district which might, in time of serious fire, feel the loss of No. ? bumper while it is in Berlin service.
 Figures bearing upon fire depart ment costs were given by the com- missioners and explained. It was pointed out that the department cost New Britain $l97,S94.l5 in 1926; s239,22S.35 in 1927. and S226,ooo in 1928. The value of buildings and equipment maintained for fire fight irg service is $355.7s6.27. Alarms answered in 1926 were 426 in num- Der. 4l9 in 1927. and 496 in 192s the number of alarms answered and the cost of maintenance and capital investment, figure of $12O a call was arrived at. This is S70 more than the fee tor going to Berlin The neighboring town used the local department 22 times in 1926. IS times in 1927 and 15 times in 1928.
 Value of Property Increases
 The argument was advanced that increased traffic hazards add to the problem of travelling several miles to Berlin, also the fact that an aver age increase of s150,00o a year in that towns grand list is prima facie evidence of an increase in the prop erty at risk.
 With increased demands on the pension fund, the commissioners eX- plained the advlsa bility of exacting a fee nearer to the computed cost of answering alarms than the pres ent $50 charge.
 Although mmissioners Beckwith and PaSerini were not appointed with authority to consummate d new contract, they have been assur- ed by the other members of the board that their recommendation meet complete approval.

Eff he has business abroad" The factors Of comfort and speed are always to be considered, he said, but if it were a case of leaving a port on wet ship or a dry ship. he would naturally prefer a dry ship. He remarked that travelling upon wet ship did not in any wise imply that a man was sympathetic toward the vets. He did not feel he could say anything at this time as to the changed program of the United States Line, Inc, in adopting wet west bound passage, as he guessed the line had the right, as an inde- whatever program it thought best"
 '1 should say" he said, "the United States Lines. Inc. having purchased the once government owned ships, has the right to run these ships as they please"

 The bishop admitted having re- ceived the message. but did not know whether he would answer it or not. He characterized the mes- sage as 'an attempt to achieve the spectacular"
 Bishop Cannon sat in his second cabin quarters as the big ship came up the North river. He was return ing home from a winter cruise on the Calgaric to the Mediterranean. With the exception of a few mes sages exchanged between himself and his officers. he said he had been. for the most part out of touch with prohibition and prohibition matters which had developed since he left. He is chairman of the board of temperance and social service of his church.

They retained their armaments of warfare, he said, and it therefore was possible for war to develop anl hence necessary to limit the forms of warfare. He added the soviet delegation was prepared to support the German proposal.
 Count Massigli, speaking for France, opposed the German amend :. ment. recalling the smelling of Paris by the 'big Bertha" of the German army during it's advance II years ago. He said he regretted the ne- cessity of remarking that the real issue proposed was abolition of the consequences for certain countries of particular clauses tablished by treaties which was not the task vt the commission.
 Count Von Bernstorff responded that the prohibition principle had been accepted as regards poison gas and as for long range guns he in- tended. later. to propose their pro- hibition also. He agreed that .he Kellogg pact was the most impor. tant event which has yet occurred in the field Of disarmament. but tha, if this was invoked they must do away with armaments entirely.

HUNDREDS VIEW PRISON
National Association Secretary
Among Visitors at WorkhOuse

The new prison for women ad-
joining the New Castle County
Workhouse, was opened to public
inspection Thursday morning.
Among the visitors was Miss ]. K.
Jaffray, of New York City, secre-
tary of the National Committee on
Prisons and Prison Labor. Since
10 o'clock, when the entrances to
the new prison were opened there
has been a constant stream of Wis
itors from Wilmington, New Cas-
tie, Newark and in fact from all
parts of the state. Much favor
able comment was heard from the
visitors. The Work house Trus-
tees, Warden Elmer j. Leach and
Mrs. Leach, superintendent of the
annex, were commended for their
efforts. The model women's pris-
on, as it is being called by the Wis
itors, is of the most modern types
and equipped with every modern
convenience and comfort for both
officers and prisoners. No definite

INCREASE IN GASOLINE TAX
12 States Made the Increases
States Have Bill Pending

Aroused by the action of Legis-
latures in II states which have in
creased gasoline taxes this year
and goaded further by the fact
that legislatures in eight other
states now have bills pending call
ing for increases in 1889, motor
dom, twenty-five million strong, is
rapidly awakening to the fact that
four wheel brakes must be applied
to the political juggernaut that is
making a football of automobile
gasoline taxes. This cryptic warn
ing was issued Saturday to the
half million members of the Amer
| lean Motorists Association by j.
Borton Weeks, President of the
! National Association, A. M. A. Ma
t:onal Body of the Delaware Auto
mobile Association of Wilmington,
as well as head Of the Keystone
Automobile Club largest motor
ing club in the East. Largely be-
cause the tax is easy to collect,
coupled with the fact that motor
lists in the past have not opposed
reasonable taxes, politicians have
had their way in the matter of in
creasing, year by year, the gaso-
line tax burden. Since the incep-
tion of gasoline taxes in 1921, the
increase up to the present time has
been 3,400 per cent, or from fifty
cents gas tax per car to approx
mately S17.00 per car for 1929.
Three states now levy six cent
tax, three other states have six
cent tax bills pending. In the state
Of Georgia the Governor recon-
mended an eight cent tax. These
exorbitant taxes can mean but one
thing the killing of the goose,
laying the golden egg, and which is
row beginning to squawk," Presi-
dent Weeks declares. Proof of the
"squawk" the A M. A. head de-
clares, 'is evidenced by the fact
that suits contesting the Legality
OF constitutionality of various
phases of state gasoline taxes have
been brought in numerous state
and Federal courts, the legality of
the California tax now being be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court. Similar suits are pending
in Florida and Georgia, both six
cent tax states, as well as suits in
other states. Motorists of the coun-
try are not opposed to a sane, fair,
and a sensible tax. A direct sales
tax of 25 or 40 cents, however, is
not fair or equitable tax and is
cut of economic proportion to the
cost of gasoline.
