MIDOLETOWN FARMER LOSES
ALL QUTBUILDIHlS BY FIRE
INCLUDING FOUR MULES, TWO
HORSES, PONY, THREE DOGS
Disastrous Fire Visits Farm of e.
G. Armstrong in Vane's Neck.
Entailing a $4,000 Loss

Four mules, two horses, one pony
and three dogs persisted in a fire
that destroyed all but one of the
outbuildings on the farm of Ed
ward G. Armstrong, in Vans Neck
four miles east of Middletown
about midnight Tuesday night. The
origin of the fire has not been de-
termined. The dwelling house and
Creamery are the only buildings on
the farm that were saved. The
buildings burned included the barn,
cow shed, milk house, and pump
house. A straw rick, fodder rick
and a large quantity of hay and
farming implements were also de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 mostly covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong
had been playing cards with the
visitors during the evening and
had only retired about half an hour
before the fire was discovered.
They were aroused by the barking
of dog and on looking out the
window saw the barn was on fire.
The Middletown and Odessa fire
companies were called. There was
no water on the place that could
be pumped by the engines, so they
ran line Of hose nearly quarter Of
mile to APPOINTMENTS Creek
and Kept the flames from spreading
to the house. It was 11.45 o'clock
when Mr.. and Mrs Armstrong dis
covered the fire. The reflection Of
the fire could be seen for many
miles and attracted a large crowd
to the farm.

CHINESE TEACHERS e. OF ID.
Miss Yung Kwai Began Teaching
at Women's College This Fall

When an unusually charming
American-born Chinese young wo-
man is discovered teaching
French at a typical American col
lege, peace and internationalism
propogandists should smile approx
al. Miss Yung Kwai, slight, black
haired and very charming of
speech and smile, began her teach
ing career this Fall, at the Wom-
ems College, University of Della
ware, as a member of the French
department Miss Yung Kwai talk
ed to an interested assembly of
students at the local Friends
School several days ago concerning
her experiences in France, as
member of the Foreign Study Plan.
Miss Yung Kwai attended public
schools in her home town, Wash
ington, D. c., later enrolling at
Bryn Mawr College where she ma
jored in French. Her junior year
was spent in study at the Sor-
bonnie, and other places in France.
She was graduated from there in
1880, and in June of this year re-
ceived her M. A, at Radcliffe Col
lege. Last week was the first time
Miss Yung Kwai had ever spoken
before a group of people, other
than during her student days or in
her own class room at the Della
ware institution. THE thing that
impressed me-" Miss Yung Kwai
stated, was the difference in stu
dents from American colleges and
French schools. Those who are
graduated from French colleges
are more mature. This is a result,
1 believe, of the stress laid abroad
upon organization, not mere learn
ing, of facts" Miss Yung Kwai
amusingly characterized the
French schools as mot so pattern
all as American ones. Describing
customs abroad as stimulating"
Miss Yung Kwai declared that it is
grand fun to live in such an at
mosphere for a time. Someone
said the young lady was a native
of China. Miss Yung Kwai, deny
ing this comment said, 81 can speak
as good slang as any American"
She thinks the students at Wo-
mems College are charming and
most attractive. In addressing the
students, she described the nature
and purpose of the Foreign Study
Plan, and spoke in French when
describing her own experiences as
a student there during her junior
year at Bryn Mawr. 1.-THE stu
dents laughed in the right places,
she related afterwards.

STATE MOTOR VEHICLE LAWS
Copies May be Obtained From the
State Motor Vehicle Departments

In registering their cars for 1882
motorists the country over will
have personal or written contact
with their motor vehicle depart
ments which may profitably be
used to obtain copy of the latest,
revised version of the State motor
vehicle laws, the American Motor
lists Association points out in a
statement issued today. The OPP
portunity should be utilized to
make request for the new edition
of the regulations, in which, the A.
M. A. declares, the majority of
motorists will find many changes
with which they are not familiar.
Most motor vehicle officials are
thoroughly convinced that the av-
erage driver does not keep proper
ly abreast of the motor vehicle and
traffic regulations" says L. L.
Hopes, secretary of the A. M A.,
and Executive Secretary of the
Delaawre Automobile Association.
Many think that periodic re-ex-
animation of all drivers would be
a wise safety precaution. The pre-
dominant reason why this has not
been tried is it's expense. That the
need exists, however, is realized in
official quarters and it should be
recognized among motorists, them
eaIxya- mall NITifI tI,a roar;0I &c
re-registration of vehicles at hand,
the average car owner is in a posi-
ton to take an important step in
thoroughly acquainting himself
with the rules of driving. That
step is the one of asking for a
copy of the regulations during the
interval when he is in contact, per-
sonal or written, with the motor
vehicle agency which issues his
new license plates" Pointing out
that there is no body of law which
has so great a need for universal
understanding the Secretary of
the American Motorists Associa-
ton declares that there is, likewise,
none which is subject to such rapid
change. Every rule of reason
which can be applied to the situa-
ton of modern traffic demands that
those who are part of it be familiar
with the rules of driving and walk
ing" Mr.. Hopes asserts. Such
familiarity can be attained only by
periodic study of the regulations
much in the same fashion as when
the individual was beginning his
driving experience"

DOWN SIGN
Motorists Should Be Prepared to
Stop When Children Are in Street

Where would you use more care
than at point where children may
be? Let school children be your
| slow down signal and tighten your
foot on the accelerator. Let a
school sign mean take off the
gas" The Delaware Safety Coun-
ellis Safety Sally" in her weekly
appearance says, $4,000 school
children can't always be right. One
of them in the road is a danger
signal-slow down" A driver
should assume that every child on
or near the street may dash sud
denly in front of his vehicle. Yor
cannot tell by looking at a child
what it is going to do. You should
therefore, drive slowly and have
absolute control Of the vehicle. A
playground should be your caution
signal. Be on the alert when ap-
preaching children on bicycles, tri-
cycles, roller skates, Riddle cars
and when passing any hill that
may be used for coasting in win
ter. Caution your own and other
peoples children about the dangers
of throwing snowballs and sliding
in the streets. Drivers should not
allow anyone to ride on the run
ming board or rear of the car. 1t
is your duty to do everything you
can to keep children on bicycles,
roller skates or sleds from hitching
rides on your automobile. Many
drivers fail to realize that the
methods which they employ in op-
Grating cars are being keenly OBJ
served by boys and girls, under
sixteen years of age, who are an
ticipating the time when they too
will be legally qualified to assume
the operation of motor vehicles.
Their behavior at that time will
be largely influenced by the actions
of their elders. Children are very
susceptible to their environment.
If they are accustomed to seeing
drivers handling their cars in a
cautious and careful manner, the
odds are in favor of their being
careful drivers. However, if they
see drivers going too fast and ig-
noring traffic regulations they are
apt to attempt the same thing.
The Delaware Safety Council says,
that:-you owe it to your inlmed-
late and future safety to drive
cautiously and with due considera-
ton and courtesy to others in or
der to help establish good habits
in safety for the rest of the COM
munity.

ACCIDENT ENROUTE FLORIDA
Mayor j. p. Cross, Bowers Bench
Killed AS Hay Falls Off Truck

A bale of hay which fell from a
truck in front of him, causing his
machine to turn over in an attemnt
to avoid striking it, was the cause
of the accident in which Mayor
Joseph P. Cross, 70, Bowers Beach
was killed Tuesday night Of last
week at Rocky Mount, n. c., ac-
cording to word received. When
the hay fell in front of his machine
it is said that Mayor Cross threw
on his brakes to stop the car. and
in doing so, turned the machine
over. His death was due TO q
broken neck. Mrs. Cross, who with
her husband, was on the wav TO
Florida to spend the Winter when
the accident occurred, is said to be
not seriously injured, as was at
first believed. She suffered frac-
lures of both arms, injuries about
the head and body bruises, but is
expected to be able to be removed
from the hospital where she is a
patient in about three weeks.

Rhodes. Mr.. Cross had not been
well for some time, having suffer
ed with high blood pressure. He
was slightly i'll on Sunday night
but recovered. Mrs. Cross appear
ed to have a premonition, one of
his relatives said, that something
would happen on the Florida trip
and urged him to give it up, but he
was of the opinion that the rest
would do him good.

pital, Farnhurst, informed mem
bers of the Board of Trustees at
their meeting last week that the
new re-educational building will be
completed about January Is, and
that by the end of that month close
to 100 patients will be transferred
to it. X-ray and other department
equipment will be moved into the
newly remodeled quarters about
the middle of January, he reported.
The changes will result in office
space for several physicians and a
special room for the medical stem
ographer. The following report
was submitted by DR.. Tarumianz:

CURVE TO BE ELIMINATED
Road to Go to West of Main Street
at st. Georges to Straighten Road

Road to Go to West of Main Street
at st. Georges to Straighten Road
The bad turn in the southbound
state highway just as you enter St.
Georges and almost directly in
front of the Commodore Macdon-
ough School, will be eliminated in
the near future by the State High
way Department, according to in
formation received at st. Georges.
1t is said that the road will be TAX
en- in a slight curve to the west of
the main street, swinging in again
in front of the canal bridge. This
is possibly the only thing that can
be done to eliminate the curve and
it will necessitate filling in road
bed nearly the whole distance as
there is a marsh directly in back
of the main street toward the west.
The marsh ON the eastern side of
the road has already been filled in.
1t is supposed that the numerous
accidents at this turn have made
the change desirable. The acct
dents have not been collisions but
cars not making the turn and
crashing into the fence on private
property directly at the turn.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IA. up
Henry C. Waldman, as. wealthy
San Bernardino county rancher
who vanished myster;cusly more
than 10 days ago as he was about
to depart for Detroit, was being
sought by authorities throughout
Southern California today.
Waldman carried at least $4,000
in cash, negotiable papers and jew
elry when he disappeared, it was
said.
The missing man was known tc
have purchased ticket to Detroit
and to have left for the depot ac-
companied by friends, according
to the sheriffs office. 1t was not
known whether he boarded the
train.
Authorities were asked to search
for Waldman when a sister in De-
troit notified relatives that he was
not aboard the train when it ar
rived in the eastern city.
Waldman was said to be part
owner of large ranch near Victor
vile.
