/ 3s Friday, Nov 20-Latest informa- ton on the general turkey market situation points to higher prices than at first were expected. Un- favorable weather early in the peak in western important produc- being packed for shipment and poorer average quality than nor- nal. Early reports of total tur- key crop larger than last year caused the eblief to be held that prices for Thanksgiving would be unusually low. Now, however, it appears probable that good stock will sell at slightly higher prices than last years unusually low fig- ures. More graded fancy Connec- ticut turkeys are being offered by local retailers this year than last.
 Native spinach did not maintain the f1rmer and higher market posi- tion which it advanced tozat mid-. week. Higher prices attracted in- creased supplies while lower prices at New York stopped exports to that market.

KEEP HEADLIGHTS BRIGHT
Delaware Safety Council Gives
Advice to Automobile Drivers

One of the most serious problems
in the operation of motor cars is
that of proper road Illumination.
A very large percent of motorists
have never realized what good
headlighting is nor have they ever
obtained anywhere near the best
results possible with their present
headlighting equipment. Safety
Sally" asks Delaware motorists
the following pertinent question:
DO you know that 80 candle pow
er headlight bulbs are now allowed
by law? 21 used to be the limit.
Extra Illumination means extra
safety Put in the BPS" Even
with the best headlights a person
wearing dark clothing cannot be
seen Is yards ahead. Specifica-
tions Of the American Standard
System Of Headlighting provide for
light ahead Of the car which is ad-
equate for the needs of the driver
and at the same time the bright
part of the beam is kept sufficient
ly low so that oncoming drivers
are not bothered. It is obvious
that the amount of light directed
into his eyes must not be too great.
All automobile manufacturers
equip their automobiles with head
lamps approved for use by the
various state motor vehicle depart
ments. This means that the samp-
les at the testing laboratory, when
properly adjusted, will meet the
requirements. Have your head
lights focused regularly for safety.
The Safety Lane inspection con
Quoted by the Delaware Safety
Council during the last Car In
spection Campaign revealed that
headlights are apt to be dirty, the
reflector is often tarnished and
practically always it is out of ad-
justment with the usual result of
too much light in the eyes of the
other fellow, too much on the
house tops and telegraph wires
where it is not wanted and too lit
tie down on the road where it is
really needed to reveal the unex-
pected.

FIFTY OFFICERS MAY GUARD
LEE, THE SLAYER OF FOUR
CAPT. JOHNSON OF HIGHWAY
POLICE, OFFERS FORCE
Two Other Murder Cases Origin
ating in Dorchester County TO
Precede the Lee Case

When Yuell Lee, alias Orphan
Jones, 60-year-old negro is placed
on trial at Cambridge tomorrow
Thursday, for the murder of Green
Davis, Worcester county farmer
Mrs. Davis and their two daugh-
ters as they slept, fifty State high
way officers vii protect him if the
offer of Captain Edward McKenna
Johnson, commander of the Mary
land State police force, is accepted.
Captain Johnson has conferred
with States Attorney James A.
McAllister concerning proper pro-
lection for the negro when he is
taken to Cambridge from the Bal
timore city Jail where he has been
taken as a precautionary measure
against possible mob violence. II
was indicated that precaution will
be taken to permit an orderly trial
of Lee and to protect the accused
man until the trial is completed.
How many police would actually
be sent to Cambridge was not an
nounced after the conference be
tween Captain Johnson and the
States attorney States witnesses
have been summoned to appear in
Cambridge for the trial Thursday,
although States Attorney McAllis-
ter said he was not sure the case
would be called then. Since the
case is taken to Dorchester county
on change of venue from Worces-
ter, cases on the Dorchester docket
will be given precedence. Court
convened there last Monday and
civil cases consumed the courts
time last week. Criminal cases
will be started and the Lee trial
must await disposition of that
docket, McAllister said. Two 9th
er murder cases, originating in
Dorchester, will precede the Lee
case.

Several sentences were imposed
upon defendants in the Court of
General Sessions at New Castle
County in Wilmington last week
on charges of larceny and trans
portation or possession of spiritu-
Gus or malt liquors. One sentence
was for carrying concealed a dead
ly weapon. George H. Blanchfield,
20, of Townsend, was sentenced to
one year in the workhouse by
