ANOTHER CAMBRIDGE FIRE
Maryland Town Suffers a 100000
Blaze. the Third Alarm in Week

Another fire at Cambridge, Md,
the third within a week, threaten
ed the entire business section Sun
day morning when practically the
contents of seven commercial es-
tablishments were destroyed, burn
ing two buildings in which they
were located and doing damage
that was conservatively estimated
approximately 100000. That the
fire did not spread to adjoining
structures was due to the efforts
of the sixty members of the Cam
bridge Volunteer Fire Department
who for four hours fought the
flames, finally conquering the blaze
without calling for assistance from
nearby towns. The two buildings
housing the business establish
ments were located on Poplar
street near the intersections of
Race and Gay streets. One of the
two big frame structures was own
ed by Edgar B. Simmons, who
placed his loss at $4,000, while
the other is the property of the
Barnett heirs and was said to be
valued at $4,000.

We voice the opinion of the
Morning News when it says:
"A happy selection has been
made in electing Alexander j.
Taylor to succeed the late la
mented DR.. Joseph II. Odell as
president Of the Delaware
School Auxiliary. Mr.. Taylor
has been engineer for the Del
aware School Foundation and
the Delaware School Auxil-
iary organization which have
done so much for the educa-
tional progress Of the State.
For many years Mr.. Taylor
was closely associated with
DIR. Odell. He is therefore
familiar with the ideas en-
bodied in the new school pro.
gram and projects of Pierre
S. DUPONT, which have meant
so much to our State. Be

GOVERNOR INSPECTS ROADS
Returns From Trip Down State
Where He Views New Gravel Road

Where He Views New Gravel Road
Governor -C. D. Buck late last
week stopped over in Dover on his
way back to his home from a two
day inspection of the completed
State highways built this year, and
also inspection of proposed roads
which will likely be included in
next years building program. The
Governor was much pleased with
the road construction in the two
lower counties, as well as with the
by-roads that are being construct
ed in Sussex county out Of gravel
and other available material in
that county. Some of the gravel
roads being constructed in Sussex
county show indications of first
class secondary roads and will
answer the purposes intended as
well if not better than if construct
ed OF concrete. A study of this
type of road as well as of material
other than concrete, is being made
by the Governor and the State
Highway Department with a view
of building such roads wherever
practicable and thus lessening the
expense to the State. While in
Sussex county he spent some time
at the States public lands, which
are now under the control and OBJ
servation of the State Highway
Department While the Governor
cid not indicate just what recon-
mendations would be made for the
road building program next year,
the intimation was that about the
same number of miles as con-
structed this year would possibly
be recommended for next year.

How fortunate Delaware is
in having judiciary that now
and then speak out emphati-
cally on various condition af-
fecting every day life. They
are doing their duty.
"These addresses from the
bench, says the Wilmington
Morning News, should be, we
believe, more frequent than
they are, considering the in
fiuence our courts WELD. Of
course, they should not be too
frequent, for then they might
lose much of their effect.
Judge Herbert L. Rice spoke
wisely in sentencing a youth
to eight months on a charge
of simple assault upon a four
teen-year-old girl. He had
been indicted on a more ser
ious charge, but pleaded gull
ty to the lesser one. The
court said there is entirely
too much promiscuous riding
with young girls in automo-
biles. This view could easily
be confirmed by anyone famil-
lar with automobiles dashing
through the streets at all
hours of the night, many af-
ter midnight, containing
youths and girls.
Judge Lynn, in City Court,
declared the number of acci-
dents due to reckless driving
of automobiles is appalling.
No doubt about that, and the
number Of accidents is in
creasing.
"The general conditions
complained of are not confined
to one part of the country. In
Toledo, Ohio, the police have
just rounded up a youthful
bandit gang composed of sew
en- youths and two girls, still
in grammar school. They are
termed "baby bandits" They
certainly present a problem.
"They snatched purses,
stripped automobiles of the
accessories and often stole the
cars nor did they stop at hold
ups. The leaders, a 19-year-
old boy and a 16-year-old girl,
performed the highway rob-
berry which resulted in the
capture of the gang. In the
home of one Of the ''baby
bandits" much of the loot

ton and what not-was un-

with the school program in

advancement"

Women Join Clubs to
Escape From Husbands :?

With their increasing leisure Amer
lean women are, like the men folk, be-
coming a nation of joiners. Feminine
organization is growing by leaps and
bounds. Not only do social, civic,
business and fraternal groups number
many women. but women are becom-
ing more exclusive as sex, organizing
their own movements.
No less person than Gertrude Ath-
erton, novelist, declares it is husbands,
not wives, who are responsible for the
growing number of women's clubs.
She explains:
"Women of recent generations have
been driven into banding together to
find an outlet for their mental energy
because the American husband, en-
crossed in business, insists on regard
ing them as ornamental, useless and
his mental inferior" ~. lr.
