IMPROVED HIGHWAY

Pleasant Grove and Fulton Town
ship, are benefited by a rural road
improvement just completed under
Governor Pinchot's program to take
the farmers out Of the mud.
The improved section has an oil
bound, all-weather surface distance
of 1913 miles, extending from the
Maryland State line north to intersec-
ton with U. S. Route 222 near Wake
field, Secretary of Highways Samuel
Lewis said.
This gives a farming and dairying
district easy access to Fulton High
School, church and park, besides
serving as an outlet to market
centers. The existing road between
Pleasant Grove and the State line
was widened. All work was per-
formed by local labor under direction
of State Highway engineers at cost
of $18, 900.-Quarryville Sun.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1881
TOYS AND TOYLAND

With the approach of Christmas
the thoughts of the Riddles run to
toys. And just what is toy? Our
tariff makers in 1880 defined it as
AN article chiefly used for the
children, whether or not also suitable
for physical exercise or for mental
development" and vote 80 per cent
ad valorem duty on toys to aid our
infant industry" Others from time
to time have attempted to decide
this burning question. But actually
every toy buyer is an innocent by
stander in civil war between the
old and the new school of toy
makers.
The old school believed in the
Romance of Childhood all those
quaint toys that wound up with
spring and iiggled. Some 80 per
cent of them came from the roman
tic city of Nuremburg. The new
school dismisses these as valueless
novelties; it believes in science.
Toys should suggest to child some
thing to do. It studies what the
child enjoys. 1t knows that children
up to two years prefer yellow; from
three to four, red; and after that
blue. 1t approves all toys and wheel
goods (scooters, velocipedes) from
which a child acquires muscular
activity and ingenuity.
Toymakers are familiar with the
''cuddly instinct and provide soft
dolls for little girls and woody
animals for little boys. They also
believe child's social relations are
improved by blocks.

LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE
GROWS IN POPULARITY

Living Christmas trees are proving
popular in many communities.
They have been found suitable both
for large outdoor celebrations, and
for the family circle.
A good tree on the lawn of the
home adds to the beauty of the
grounds and is permanent improve
ment It may also serve as a peren-
NAL Christmas tree, and sove the ex-
pense.. of a new tree to be bought
every year. Although Christmas
tree cutting can be. done without
injury to, the, forest if carried on
under good forestry principles, a
considerable portion of the present
day supply comes to the market as
the result of promiscuous, destruc-
tive cutting, and in some cases
vandalism.
In some cases young tree with
the roots properly balled and packed
in box may be used indoors and
later set out to beautify the grounds.
If permanent tree is chosen for
planting, many varieties will be
suitable. Spruces, frs, pines and
ceders adapted to the locality usually
give best results.

PASSING OTHER FELLOW
CAUSES MANY AUTO
ACCIDENTS

The almost fanatical desire to de-
feat the other fellow, the furious
hurry to get ahead, the lack of re-
spect for others are, according to
the Delaware Safety Council, the
sort of things which make the roads
unsafe today.
Automobiles have been made safer
to operate from the mechanical stand
point and several billions of dollars
have been expended to imp rove
roads to provide maximum of safety
from that standpoint, so automobile
driving has almost narrowed down
tothe point where the human element
is the greatest factor in the campaign
to prevent accidents and save lives.
Drivers of automobiles, if they
want to protect their own and the
lives of others and minimize the
tremendous property losses, must
guard against three things: speed,
driving on the wrong side OF the
road and the failure to grant right Of
way to others. The last is one OF
the most common causes of ac-
cidents.

SLAYER LYNCHED BY MOB
Colored Man Dragged From
Hospital Bed AT Salisbury
And Hanged

Dragged from hospital cot where
he lay i'll from self inflicted wounds,
a colored man was lynched in front
of the Wicomico county court house
at Salisbury Friday night, less than
three hours after he had confessed
the murder of his employer, Daniel
j. Elliott, aged 81 years.
After hanging the colored man,
Matthew Williams, aged IS, his
body was cut down, gasoline poured
over it, and set or fire.
States Attorney Levin C. Bailey
said Williams had confessed to shoot
ing to death Danial j. Elliott, 81, in
the office of his basket and crate
making plant at 2.30P. M. Friday.
Bailey declared Williams said he
killed Elliott because the latter was
'spaying him only Is cents an hour"
After killing Elliott, one of the
most widely know business men on
the Eastern Shore, Williams fired
bullet into his chest and was later
shot in the head by Flliott's son,
James Elliott, as he attempted to
flee.
AT first it was reported Williams
had killed himself after the murder
of Elliott but when it was learned
he was in the hospital sullen crowds
began to gather and the negro was
finally dragged from his cot and
hanged to tree.
Maryland's last lynching previous
to that at Salisbury Friday night
occurred on Christmas night 1911, at
Brooklyn, then part Of Anne Arundel
county, when mob of white men
stormed the Jail, which was without
police protection, dragged King
Johnson, colored, out and shot him
to death a few blocks distant. The
previous day he had shot and killed
Frederick A. Schwab in pool room
at Fairfield.

1t is claimed that Is per cent of the
real property in north central state
has reverted to the counties because
of the inability or Discrimination oil
property owners to pay high taxes,
If another Is per cent is abandoned,
which may happen, one-half the lane
in the state will be taxed to support
the other half. Perhaps that would
convince state governments thai
taxation can become confiscatory.

STATE TAX SYSTEM
The Maryland Grange Recon-
mends Levy On Incomes
And Luxury Sales

The State Grange, at its annual
session in Salisbury, on Friday,
adopted resolutions recommending
nine changes in the State tax system
to relieve some of the burden on the
Maryland farmer.
The greatest departures from the
existing system included in the rec
concentrations were imposition of
an income tax, the revenue from
which would be divided equally be-
tween the counties and Baltimore
city, sales tax on luxury commodi-
ties, levy on gifts, and broadening
of the inheritance tax.
Tax changes suggested were:
''That farm land and buildings be
assessed as a unit, and that the
assessment of buildings be based on
the value they add to the land and
not on construction cost or insured
value.
'That the assessment of farm
property should be lowered, so as to
be comparable with the assessment
on town property, owing to the
shrinkage in value of farm real
estate.
''That effort be made to bring
about uniformity among the counties
in regard to the method and time of
collecting taxes, especially delinquent
taxes.
'That greater State aid be given
to the counties for the support of
schools, thereby reducing the amount
of county taxes ON general property
necessary for local school purposes.
THAT the State contribute to
greater extent to local county road
building and maintenance, and the
gasoline tax and motor-vehicle license
funds be spent so as to extend better
road facilities to the greatest number
of rural people, building lower-cost
roads where the traffic does not
justify large investment per mile,
and furthermore, that the gasoline
tax and motor-vehicle license rev.
enue be spent for road purposes
only.
"We recommend that the Legisla-
ture pass an income-tax law as a
method of securing additional rev.
enue, fifty per cent. of which should
be allocated to the counties, thereby
making it possible to lower the local
general property tax.
''That sales tax on luxury COM
modities be utilized as means of
raising additional revenue.
"That the inheritance tax now in
force in Maryland, which exempts
property transfers to members of the
immediate family, be extended to
include the taxing of property trans
fers to such beneficiaries, but at a
lower rate than is now applicable to
more remote relatives, and that
transfer of property by gift be taxed
in the same manner as the transfer of
property by inheritance.
Senator A. G. Ensor, Forest Hill,
was reelected master of the State
Grange. With one exception all
other officers were reelected.

In normal times the United States
has the highest standards of living in
the world. And the same is true OF
depressed times. Temporary con-
ditions may cause unemployment
and some decrease in wages, but it
will be found that these effects are

elsewhere.

A MEXICAN flying tackles, as adj
~ ministered by DR.. Ralph Will

jitsu, produced by Taro Mayake,
as Wilson defeated the colorful japanese
in the feature bout of the Washington
Auditorium pachyderm picnic last
night. The time was "a minutes.
Wilson. who knows his nerve CEN
tiers, found in Taro, a grappler almost
equally well versed In the nerve-press-
ing business. But Taro could not stand
nerve centers and flying tackles, too.
The show was colorful. Mayake made
a big hit and so did the Siberian
Gorilla" Sergei Kalmikoff, but in a
different way. Jack Burke was too
easy for the bewhiskered Sergei, but
the antics of the caveman during the
4 minutes the bout lasted was humorous.
Billy Bartush, who was to tackle
Floyd Marshall, found tough Chief
White Feather substituting for Mar
shall. The mean chief poked Billy .
lot, but Bartush won after 80 minutes.
The prize bout from noise stand

TITLE
IS SAFE IN DEFEAT
WeIter Crown Not at Stake
in LaWIess' Second Win
From Negro Boxer.

~H1CAGO, May 9 (P.-Young
4 Jack Thompson, Oakla
Calf, Negro. is still the welter-
weight champion of the world
but he has yet to defeat Bucky LaWlesS
of Auburn, N. Y.
Thompson last night dropped 10
round decision to the rough Fastener
in the final bout Of the Chicago
Stadiun's first "$3 top" show, his sec
ond defeat by Lawless. The first one
occurred before Thompson won the
title frcm Jackie Fields more than a
year ago. Thompson's title was not on
the block, however, as he had forced
Lawless to come in over the limit.
The verdict was popular with the
crowd of 11,240, but was somewhat of
a surprise to ringside experts. who fig
ured the sharp-punching Negro had
gained distinct edge in seven of the
10 rounds. Lawless weighed 148 and
Thompson lat pounds.
Chicago Pair Win.
Attempts for revenge were more sue
cessful for a pair of Chicago boxers,
King Levinsky. the swinging Westsider,
and Harry Dublinsky, a promising
young lightweight.
Levtnsky outmauled Emmett Rocco,
Ellwood City, Pa, heavyweight, in an
other 10-rounder, to wipe out defeat
administered him week ago. Dub
linsky employed an accurte stright left
to defeat Tommy Organ of Omaha,
Nebr., in 8 rounds to square up for a
decision victory previously won by Gro
gan. In the opening 6-rounder, Danny
belmont outslugged DaTey Abad of
Panama to gain the decision.
Crowd Disappoints.
Unfavorable weather held the crowd
below expectations in spite of the sharp
downward revision in prices. The gross
gate was $21, $50.
Herr Max Schmeling, world heavy
weight champion, entertained the crowd
in his last exhibition match before
going into training for his champion
ship fight with w. L. (Ycung) Str1bling
