.aAccidents increasingly

Delaware and other parts of the
country seem to gather more than
their share of human lives of late.
Only a day or so ago a young man
was badly wounded (and has since
died) and his little girl who accom-
panied aim was so badly hurt her
life is despaired of, was brought
about by the man failing to look UNI
til a special train smashed into his
truck, tearing it to pieces and leav-
ing the mangled bodies of the man
and his daughter hanging on the
coWcatcher of the engine. This man
could see plainly before him the
warning placed at all crossings by
the Pennsylvania Railroad, for all
persons who intend crossing to Stop,
Look and Listen.
Perhaps if this man had obeyed
the instructions he would be alive
today.
A few days ago on the du Point
Highway, near LincolnS two men
were walking, no doubt not thinking
for an instant that death was so
near when an automobile appeared,
whose drunken driver seemed unable
to control the car, but allowed it to
Zigzag across the highway until 1t
met and crushed the life out of one
man and crippled another, so he will
not soon, if ever be, able to assume
his usual occupation once more. The
drunken driver went on his destruc-
tive way, until arrested by a high
way policeman; not knowing, per-
haps, the dying scenes he had left in
his wake. Who was responsible for
the acts committed by this drunken
driver? Some will say the bootleg
ger, but we say it was those who are
to enforce the law and fail 20 do so,
which allows the bootlegger to ply
his infamous trade without fear or
hindrance, and so long as this is
true, the highways are not safe for
travel, and will not be until drunk
en- drivers are abolished from the
thoroughfares of the State.
%sEmpIOyees Go On Strikes
The strike of the employees of the
button factory did not amount to
much. Part of the men and boys
employed there have gone back to
work at the lower rate offered be-
fore the strike. Part of the vacant
places are being filed by green
men, which some say is costly eX-
pertinent. However, men who intend
to strike should be sure of future
employment before engaging in an
undertaking which often proves dis
astrous to all concerned. The writer
thinks if the employer and employ
ees would get together and talk mat
tiers over, many Of the discussions
could be smoothed over and the
cause for strike be eliminated. 1t
is best to take "look, before you
leap" Many of the labor troubles
existing in different parts Of the
country today are wing to the alb
sence of competition. Not only in the
button business, but in other trades
as well.
+sTO Bid On Milton Roads.
The Highway Department will
omen at Dover on March II, bids fol-
a cement road to run from Glendale
to Milton. This will be splendid news
for those who are interested in the
building Of this road.
The writer has been advocating
the construction of this highway fol
quite sometime and will await with
Measure the final conclusion OF the
building scheme.
If the Highway Department could
snare the funds to enable them tc
build a cement road from Ellendale
to Owens, it would not only open a
part of the country badly in need OF
such a road, but would give a
through route from Greenwood to
many towns in Sussex and would
give to the inhabitants living in
many parts of the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland through route and quick
access to Rehoboth Beach.
>sDOlIar Day For Ellendale?Se
Ellendale has seven stores. AL
seem to be DESTROYS to increase thelI
business. How would it do to have q
"Dollar Day?' 1t would show to the
world that Glendale was still on 9
man and ready to join with tn
who believe in live up-to-date t. "
in every respect.
&Hatching Chicksis
The Matching of biddieS for sale tC
the public-at-large has become quite
a business in many sections of the
country. Lincoln our neighbor1ne
town, has a large plant and is doing
a thriving business. Is it not strange
that some one in or near Glendale
has not enough of the progressive
spirit within them to open up q
place of this kind and cater to the
wants of the farmers who are en-
gagged in the poultry business? The
raising of broilers to supply the city
markets has become one of the best
having investments that the poultry!
men are engaged in. 1t seems strange
that those who make poultry raising
a business are compelled to buy SO
many thousands of young chickens
from hatcheries situated in sections
far away. All of this trade could be
kept at home if some one had back
bone enough to start a hatchery at
this point. Who will be the first to
try It?
4sNight Schools Largely Attended,
The Wednesday Night classes in
both parliamentary and civil law,
also music are being largely attend
ed by the people of Glendale and vi
cinity. The writer remembers a time
when it was a difficult matter to get
any one to act as chairman of any
meeting being held here. Now it is
very different. We have numbers
who are fully qualified to act as
chairman of any meeting, political
or otherwise. If you are in need,
send in your orders and we will
gladly supply you, one or dozen.
