NATIONAL PARKS
REMAINING OPEN
Labor Day Closing Rumor With
out Foundation, Says
Interior Head.

Labor day, which usually brings TO a
close the period of Summer vacations
does not affect the national parks, many
of them remaining open for Winter
sports. according to the National Tour
ing Bureau of the American Automobile
Association.
Acting Secretary Dixon of the De-
partment of Interior has advised the
American Automobile Association that
there is no foundation for the rumor
that the national parks would close after
Labor day.
THE national parks" Mr.. Dixon
stated, "are made available for the use
of the visiting public just as long as
weather conditions permit. In the case
of the Yellowstone, for instance, ex-
perience has shown that this park is
freely accessible to visitors up to Sep
TENDER 10, and the public utilities cater
ing to the comfort and convenience OF
the visitors are not closed until after
this date. Even after the closing cate
of the hotel, lodge and transportation
accommodations, private automobiles
carrying camping equipment arc per-
mitted until snow closes the roads,
usually about the middle of October
During this latter period informal living
accommodations may also be obtained
by motorists not desiring to camp"
The national motoring body said that
a number of national parks, notably
Yosemite. Sequoia and Gen. Grant, in
California; Mount Rainier, in Washing
ton, and Rocky Mountain, in Colorado,
are open throughout the Winter
months for snow and ice sports, while
the South Rim of the Grand Canyon
National Park, in Northern Arizona, is
accessible throughout the year to tray
elers by rail and motor.

MOTORISTS TO HAVE
RED CROSS STATIONS
Society Will Locate on Two Main
Highways to Aid Acct
dent Victims.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Two of the Nations more famous
highways are among the first to come
under protection of Red Gross emer-
gency stations for injured motorists.
Along the White Horse pike in Cam
cen County, N. j.. stations will be placed
at points selected by State police as the
most hazardous
The Parkway System through West
chester County, N. Y, leading into New
York City on Pelham Drive also will
be dotted with stations. These two
highways are judged as carrying the
heaviest traffic on the Eastern seaboard.
The newly launched national plan of
the Red Cross will be followed by utif-
izing State Police substations, stores
and garages
1t provides that person trained In
first aid always will be available, with
first aid kits, medical director of
doctors, nurses and hospitals, and an
ambulance or truck to answer calls.
Volunteers were given lessons in first
aid in Alliance. Ohio, where roadside
station has been established. The first
tryout of the emergency plan was by
the chapter at Philadelphia. which
placed % stations along roads and
four information booths.
In year, with an estimated 1,000,-
900 tourists passing the stations yearly,
aid has been given to POI people in 155
accidents
Direction of the first aid plan is by
Harold F.. Elbows, national director of
first aid and life saving for the Red
Cross.

people was killed in the past year In
automobile accidents and more than q
million injured" he said, I'VE felt that
We must accept this challenge to help

BAUGHMAN URGES
CAREFUL DRIVING
Maryland Commissioner Asks
Motorists to Safeguard
Children.
Special DISPATCH to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 13.-With
the opening of schools this week, E.
Austin Baughman, commissioner of
motor vehicles, issued a statement call
ing attention of motorists to the neces-
Sity of exercising special alertneSS and
care while driving over the main high
ways of the State.
In addition to the school children
who walk to and from their schools or
who are playing about the highways
during their recess periods, Mr.. Baugh-
man said, care should be exercised in
approaching or passing the school
buses operating to consolidated schools
in the rural sections.
Need Of Caution.
"The motorist must realize" the
commissioner said, that wherever chill
dren are adjacent to or upon the thor
oughfares the utmost cautiousness is
necessary in approaching or passing
such a point.
THE injuries and deaths Of children
originate primarily from youngsters be-
ing on highways or entering them sud-
denly and thoughtleSSly at position
too close to the moving vehicle to pre-
vent disaster.
THE main cause of such accidents Is
the failure of the childish mind to real
ize or appreciate the dangers which
are so obvious to the mind of an adult.
In addition, the child at play has moth
ing in mind but the game he is engaged
in His whole mental and physical en-
ergy is concentrated in that one thing.
He is thoughtless of everything else.
Responsibilities.
"These very conditions place upon
the operator of motor vehicle added
and very real responsibilities. He must
assume not only his own usual respon-
sibility but also the responsibility that
would rest upon the child if the child
were a responsible and logical-thinking
person.
I'm other words. the child is in a
morally privileged classification and
must be given opportunity to reach a
safe location before the motorist pro-
ceeds, and that even then he must be
very much on the alert, as children are
much given to changing their minds
and darting suddenly back to the point
they came from"

TRAFFIC FATALITY
INCREASE SHOWN
Death Rate Approximately
100 Per Day, Says
A. M. A.

Deaths as the result of automobile
accidents in the United States during
1880 will reach the appalling total of
$4,000, or approximately 100 per day,
according to estimates just made by the
American Motorists Association.
The estimates are based on a pre-
liminary survey for the first six months
Of this year, which shows that there has
been an increase of per cent in
automobile fatalities, over the CORE
spending period of 1929.
d. C. Improves.
In the District of Columbia, however,
comparative figures for the first six
period of last year show an improve
ment. During the first six months of
1880 a total of 80 persons were killed
by automobiles, compared with 40 killed
the first six months of 1929.
Taking the country as whole, at
the same rate of increase, for the entire
year of 1880, it will mean that total
of 36,035 persons will meet their death
as the result of automobile accidents,
representing an increase OF 2,975 over
the 1929 traffic toll, which was 33060,'
declares Thomas j. Keefe, general man
ager of the A. M. A.
THE aggregate for the year, how
ever, will undoubtedly be even greater
than the estimate shown, for the reason
hat an analysis of the automobile deaths
for the past years show that the num-
Der of fatalities the last six months OF
any given year is more than for the
first six months. October, November
and December, almost without eXcep-
ton, show an increase over the re-
manning nine months of each year in
the numbers killed by motor vehicles.
Death Rate Rises.
"The death rate last year was one
every 16 minutes of the year. This year
it will be one every las minutes, even
though there should be no increase the
last six months of the year compared
with the first six months" the A. M. A.
statement points out.
1.-THE greatest number OF accidents,
according to reports made to the De-
partment of Commerce, occur between 5
and o'clock, during the motor vehicle
traffic movement homeward. The next
most dangerous period of the day is
between and pm, while Sunday Is
the most dangerous day of the week,
due of course to the increased use OF
automobiles on that day" the statement
concludes.

PUBLIC MENTAL ATTITUTE
MUST BE CHANGED
Maryland Commissioner States
Reckless Drivers Should Be
Listed With Criminals.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, September 13.-The
whole mental attitude OF the public
courts and enforcement agencies toward
reckless drivers road hogs" and speed
demons must BE- changed If needless
slaughter is to be reduced, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles E. Austin
Baughman declared this week.
WillfGl and wanton members of these
classes of drivers should be listed with
other criminals whose photographs are
IN rogues' galleries, the commissioner
feels. He said:
No appreciable progress towards i'm
provement of street and highway safety
and the reduction of injuries and need
less fatalities can be expected until
these drivers are placed In the classifi-
cation in which they rightfully belong.
In order to improve conditions, and
to start TO reduce the steadily mounting
and altogether needless slaughter, we
must change our whole mental attitude
toward traffic law violators
AT the same time 1 feel that a
change for the better is to be noted.
But it must be pressed until these
drivers are where they belong-in the
classification of crooks and murderers. "

MORE AND BETTER ALFALFA
FOR DELAWARE FARMS

The growing of more and better
alfalfa on the farms in Kent county
has bee none Of the important pro-
jects in the program of work for the
past three years, according to the
various reports which have been is
sued by County Agent Russell E..
Wilson, and the results of this alfal-
ia campaign are shown by the in
creased paintings of this legume
throughout the county during this
period.
Numerous inquiries are being re-
ceived at the county extension Office
relative to the cultural require
ments of alfalfa, indicating that
more farmers each year are becom-
ing more interested in this crop as
a suitable source Of hay for their
dairy cattle and other livestock.
These requests for information have
been supplemented in many in
stances with farm visits for the pur-
pose of discussing these cultural
problems with the individual farm
ers in an attempt to give them as
much assistance as. possible in the
growing of this legume.
In order to determine the extent
to which this alfalfa campaign is
spreading over the county, it has
been the plan of County Agent Will
son to make a survey each year by
personal contacts with the different
seed dealers and to secure from
them the amount of seed sold. This
seed survey in 1929 showed that ALI
bushels had been distributed, as
compared to 440 bushels in 1928, and
346 bushels in 1927, resulting in ap-
proximately $500 acres Of alfalfa to
be added to Kent county within the
past three years. The extremely dry
weather which occurred last sum-
mer at the time alfalfa seed should
have been sown in this section was
largely responsible for the slight re-
duction in acreage last year as com
pared to that Of 1928, as many far
mers hesitated to invest their money
in alfalfa seed under such adverse
weather conditions.
Another interesting fact in con-
nection with these seed surveys is
that all of the local dealers are car
rying in stock a good grade of al
falfa seed which is reported to have
been grown in the western and
northwestern regions of the United
States, and which is the kind that is
being recommended by the Agricul-
turaI Extension Department Of the
University of Delaware under whose
direction this alfalfa campaign is
being conducted throughout the
State. s,..'

WILL SPEND $1,OOO,OOO
ON TELEPHONE WORK
Diamond State Telephone Company
Announces Program.

Expenditure of nearly $1,000,000
for expansion of the Diamond State
Telephone Company's facilities
throughout Delaware is planned for
the current year, according to an
announcement today by Edward M.
Prisk, vice-president.
The proposed expenditure for this
year-tentatively fixed at $9S6,OOO-
represents a substantial increase
over the average yearly appropria-
tion for new construction by the Dia-
mond State Telephone Company, and
will permit the completion Of a large
scale construction program.
In addition to this amount, $685.
900 will be required during 1880 to
operate the present telephone plant
and new plant completed prior to the
end of the year. Another $366,OOO
will be necessary for maintenance
of the company's equipment at the
highest possible standard of efti-
cheney.
Thus, these three items-new con-
struction, operation and mainte-
nance-will necessitate a total ex-
penditure of $2,O9O,OOO during the
present year.
The program provides, among
other things, for construction OF ap-
proximately 5000 miles of local, or
exchange, wire, and placing about
$500 additional miles of wire to care
for the constantly increasing volume
of toll, or out-of-town, telephone
traffic.
Commenting on the Diamond
States program, Mr.. Prisk said:
"The demand for telephone serv-
ice, both local and out-of-town, is
greater than ever before in the his
tory of the telephone business.
eve must be ready to meet that
demand in advance. We must have
the lines, switching mechanism, cen
tral office apparatus, and other in
strumentalities of the communica-
ton service in place before the de-
mand comes.
Growth brings constantly IN
creasing complexities into the tele-
phone plant, but it also brings to
telephone users an increasing use
