JAILBREAk OF
IS HALTED

LURAY, Va, May 2s.-The find
ing OF loosened brick in the outer
walls of the Page county jail by
Sheriff r. l.. Lucas prevented the
possible escape of 10 prisoners which
make up the register at the local Jail.
The sheriff. whose suspicious were
aroused through a prisoner seeking
another fork. claiming that none
had been given him to eat dinner
with, investigated the walls and bars
of his institution.
Loosened mortar specks were seen
beneath one OF the windows and the
investigation showed the brick ready
to be lifted out several of the pris-
oners had been permitted to range
through the corridor, the cells being
filled TO overflowing with prohibition
and other violators. These had taken
advantage OF their liberty and had
planned the escape.
The last jaiIbreak here occurred
two years ago when the jail was
emptied under the leadership OF Sell
don b. Lam. Lam sawed and dug
his way out, taking the others with
him. Lam's son was convicted later
for smuggling the saws to the pris-
oner. The escape at this time was
made between the time of delivery OF
supper and locking in" time of the
sheriff. Lam Is now serving term
on the roads.

$4,000 VERDICT
SET ASIDE

CULPEPER, Va, May 2S.-Judge
A. T. Browning, of the Culpeper
Circuit Court. has set aside the
verdict awarding P. E. Maddox. ad-
ministrator for Dora Maddox. $4,000.
This case grew out of the death
of Miss Dora Maddox, who was
killed by a Southern railway tram
in 1926 at Brandy Station.
Evidence at the trial showed that
1t was the custom for southbound
passengers to board trains on the
side opposite the waiting rooms, the
agent always notifying passengers
when the local trains were in sight,
which gave them ample time to
cross the track as the locals came
into the station slowly. On this
occasion the agent had msstelten
fast train for the local 7sSoA had
notified the passengers that the
local was approaching.
In crossing the track Miss Mad.
dox. who was slightly lame and had
to watch the ground closely In
walking, evidently failed to notice
the rapid approach of the train ana
was struck and killed.
The jury which heard the evil
dence returned a verdict against
the Southern. which Judge Brown
ing set aside on the ground of con.
tributory negligence on the part OF
the deceased.

OUR RADIO SETS

OF the 2O,OOO,O 900 radio sets now in
use in the world, the United States
has half. 1t is doubtful if ever in
world history, has an invention
spread into general use quite so
quickly as radio has. Back a few
years ago, the possibility of radio
in every home looked like a wild
dream, and today it has become a
commonplace of existence.
The fact that we have half the
radio sets in the world gives our
country a wonderful advantage. A
country where half the families
have radio sets is going to be
brighter, better educated, and more
in touch with modern life.
1t is up to our people here in Del
aware to make the very best use of
this invention. 1t should not be re-
garded as merely a toy, but it
should be considered also as a tool
for self improvement. People should
make full use of the educational fea-
lures, and not ask simply for frothy
stuff.

IMPROVE SECONDARY ROADS

The vast sums of money collected
from automobile licenses gasoline
taxes and bond issues for road con-
struction, have been spent largely
for building trunk highways.
The result has been great devel-
opment along these roads, towns
have built up and property values
have increased out of all proportion
to the growth that has been enjoyed
by communities lying back from the
main highways.
Smaller places not on the trunk
roads have been almost wiped out of
existence and farms which are left
off the main routes have not improv-
ed in value. 1t is estimated that IA
per cent of rural mail deliveries are
on more or less unimproved roads.
Our system of building main high
ways has been to parallel railroads
rather than to strike off through
new country. Thus we have added
to traffic congestion in centers
which are already badly congested.
1t is time to broaden our highway
program and improve rural, or sec
ondary roads which reach country
not now developed as it should be.
It is stated that Ohio farmers, for
example, pay 27 per cent of Ohio
road costs but receive only II per
cent of road construction in rural
districts.
A farmer may haul one or two
loads a day to town over a mud
road. If this road was improved to
an extent sufficient to serve rural
needs, he could probably make five
trips or more a day with bigger
load.
It has been found that with expen-
of from $500 to $4,000
mile roads which are now a liabil-
ity can be turned into an asset of
value. This has been
proved in many states by the ju-
1icious use of gravel. crushed rock,
oil and asphaltic materials. A def
mite program should be adopted to
improve five to 10 miles of second !
ary road for every mile of trunk
highway.

LOW TAXES ENCOURAGE
INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

The power to tax is of tremendous
Importance, either for good or evil.
Fair taxation by efficient and eco
nomical governmental units, can
provide all necessary community i'm
provements, assist the home builder
and aid industrial development.
Burdensome taxation, the result
of governmental waste, duplication
of effort and political inefficiency,
can permanently retard any COM
munity's progress.
We live in an age when smaller
communities, with their pleasant
living conditions, steady labor and
other natural advantages, are attrac-
tive to industry.
The widespread dissemination of
power has made industrial decen-
tralization practical. Factories no
longer confine their operations to
the great centers of population. But
no industry can afford to locate in
town where the tax rate is exorbi-
tant. High taxes are menace to any
business.
Communities would do we'll to
avoid excessive bonded Indebtedness
which means permanent tax over
head. Every citizen should make it
a duty to see that local and state
are conducted wisely
and economically. Progress goes
hand in hand with a low tax rate.

TRAINING FOR THE DEAF

An important public service has
been rendered the public, through
the efforts in which Mrs. Calvin
Coolidge has been prominent, which
led to the presentation of a $2,O0O,-
900 endowment to a school for the
deaf in her home town. The unfor-
tunate people who suffer from this
handicap are too often neglected.
We do not quite realize their mis-
fortune, because they are able to
participate in daily life more than
the victims of many forms of mis-
fortune. But when they look for
in life, they find them
selves up against a serious OBJ
stacle. Correct training will pre-
pare young people with this handi-
cap for useful careers.
Milford chronicle., 1929-04-26
TAX GASOLINE WITH CARE

Fear is expressed from many au-
thoritative quarters that gasoline
taxing may be overdone. Since 1919,
when the first of such taxes was
levied, there have been steady in
creases in the rate, until today the
tax equals 10 to 80 per cent of the
retail price of gas in the various
states.
A reasonable tax, with all receipts
applied to highway building and
maintenance, is probably the best
way of solving the demand for good
roads. But when the funds are ap-
piled to other state expense, the mo-
torist has cause for complaint.
Opinions of newspaper editors
throughout the United States show
that a great number of them oppose
exorbitant gas taxes because they
encourage extravagant spending,
represent class legislation, tax a ne
cessity instead of luxury, are in
creasing too fast, harm business by
discouraging consumption and cause
other difficulties.
In an article in the New York
Times, DR.. F. G. Crawford of SYRIA
cuse University, said that "legis1a-
lures may go too far with increases
and bring about a reaction to a most
successful tax. There is already
some tendency in this direction"
Last year the gasoline tax averag-
ed about SIS per car, or a total of
$500, 100000. 1t would seem that this
sum, with the other available funds,
if used intelligently for highway
purposes, would provide necessary
paved or rocked roads. To use gas
tax money for other purposes is an
on the motorist.
Missouri, realizing the danger OF
an exorbitant tax, has fixed the rate
at two cents per gallon for 10 years.
Sensible taxation is a success, op-
pressive taxation benefits no one
and discourages progress.

STUDENT BASEBALL

Some serious people feel that the
boys spend too much time and
thought on baseball, interfering with
the study of those who are playing
on school and college teams.
The students Of a high school or
college are brimming over with pent
up energy. 1t is their nature to
want something active doing. If
they are not playing at some sport,
they are likely to be chasing around
the country in automobiles, pursu-
ing sporting life with their girl
friends, or doing a score of things
that may or may not have harmful
results.
But out on the baseball field, they
work off surplus energy. If they
spend a couple of hours actively
there, the chances are that many of
their evenings will be spent rather
quietly. Having had this outlet,
their energy for adventures is some
what dulled.
Also a game like baseball has the
effect to make its players quick,
nimble and alert. They have to
learn to act quickly, to devote their
attention closely to a certain object,
and they gain skill of hand and
body that has value. Almost any
business man would say that in
picking his employees, as between
two graduates of equal scholarship,
one of whom was successful in ath-
letics and one who was not, he
would take the athlete every time.
Schools and colleges do well to
make strict rules that athletes must
stand we'll in their studies before |
they are allowed to play on teams.
But if they keep up their book
work, the athletic experience should
be valuable, particularly as it makes
.hese youngsters more vigorous
One might wish that
could have one or more ball teams
every high school in Delaware
playing regular games.

THE BLAME FOR COLLIsHONs

Human nature at it's most unrea-
sonable point, is apt to be manifest
after an automobile collision. If
one happens to witness such a
smash, and gathers in the bunch
that collects around the two collid-
ing cars, he will probably hear some
loud and irrational arguing.
The two drivers, if the collision
was serious, are suffering from ner-
vous shock, and will say things they
would not say under ordinary condi-
tions. Some people have the manli-
ness to admit they were wrong, but
the ordinary thing is for each driver
to maintain that he was wholly right
and not to blame in any way.
The truth is that both parties
were somewhat to blame, though
one of them may have been princi-
pally at fault. These things happen
so quickly that it is almost impos-
sible to assess the responsibility
with strict accuracy. But if either
one of the two drivers had been fol-
lowing a policy of special caution,
would probably have hap
pened.
Careful people often remark that
they have concluded that if a driver
will give up in any doubtful case
about rs per cent of the road, and
allow drivers to have the right of
way if they show the least disposi-
tion to claim it, there is little danger
Of accidents.
1t is annoying for people thus to
have to yield position in the road
hat they feel belongs to them fair
". and they are irritated by the
arrogant and grasping spirit shown
by some drivers. But it is better
'or people to hold their own feelings
n check, and overlook such exhibi-
ions of bad manners, and keep out
If trouble even if they have to wait
| few seconds to let some reckless
lriver get out of the way. This
course will save mishaps for the
lrivers of Delaware, for if we al
ways claim every right of way that
We think belongs to us, we take
,hances of accident.

WHITTIER ARE WE GOING

''Where is agriculture going is a
question asked by many leading ag-
ricultural men. Will it become too
highly mechanized? is another ques-
tion. To the serious-minded it is
leading toward a higher plane, a
parity with industry. 1t will be
emancipated from the drudgery of
yesterday. 1t will not see the return
to peasantry as some critics are pre-
dieting. 1t will ever go forward and
a new era will be seen over the hor-
izon fan old agricultural world.
Fewer but better men will be found
in the buEiness of producing the
food for the ever increasing popula-
tion of the urban centers." ."-Profes-

MOTHERS DAY

The American people are said to
be materialistic, but also they are
emotional and full of sentiment.
One of their most deeply cherished
feelings is the reverence that they
cherish for their mothers. This
sentiment is probably more power
full in this country than anywhere
else, since our country gives the
highest respect to womanhood. In
no country in the world are women
given such favorable opportunities
as come to them here, and at the
hight of all honors are placed the
mothers of the nation. Let Sunday,
May 18th, be a bright memory for
all mothers and their sons and
daughters.
The untiring devotion of these
women for their children is the
finest phase of human nature. Mod
ern life has many faults, and many
people are frivolous and are pursu-
ing too low aims. But there are
few women who fail to spend them
selves to the limit for their chill
dren, and a great many wear them
selves out in the way they lavish
affection and effort on them.
Most women deny themselves
things they ought to have, so that
their children can have everything
they desire, They go without pleas
ures and opportunities, stint them
selves on clothing and sometimes on
food, so that they can provide the
children not merely with the things
they need, but with luxuries and
When the world turns against
anyone, and people seem to be to
blame for the things they have
done, their mothers will always find
excuses to tolerate their faults.
People often get discouraged about
the future of the young folks, when
they see many of them misbehaving. |
But this devotion of motherhood is
a powerful force that is all the time
working to make better young peo-
ple. Even when people do wrong
and get into trouble, the memory OF
The hopes and ideals their mothers
cherished for them, is force that
lends to draw them back from their
errors. Well can we take one Sun
lay in the year to do honor to this
noble sentiment of motherhood. Let
10 one forget to honor mother Sun
