KEEP TO THE RIGHT ON ROAD
Don't Be Road Hog by Driving in
the Middle of the Highway

Keep in the middle of the road is
a tip that has been construed liter
ally by the roadhog. His lack of
consideration and disobedience of
traffic regulations often cause ser
ious accidents to himself as well as
to others. The expert driver must
tone down his skill by not weaving
in and out of stream Of traffic
moving moderately. A common
offense against road etiquette is
committed when a motor car op-
orator places his car at a crossing
so as to obstruct pedestrian traffic,
thus compelling pedestrians to
walk around his machine. When
stopping or parking a car see that
the right side is within 6 or 8 inch
es of the curb. The wheels should
be champed to the right so the car
cannot move. Make sure that the
emergency brake is on and that the
gears are in neutral before leaving
the car. Always signal when pre-
pairing to stop, start or turn. If
possible signal by extending the
arm. If the car body or load pre-
vents persons ahead or behind from
seeing arm signals good type Of
mechanical signalling device should
be installed on the car. All traffic
signs including those used for the
control of traffic at intersections
should be obeyed promptly and to
the letter. "Slow down" signs
near schools should be observed as
well as stop, look and listen"
signs at railroad grade crossings.
Many lives will be saved during
the New Year if automobilists will
heed the warning of the Delaware

ATTORNEY FLIES TO AID GIRL
KIDNAPPED BY HER FATHER
I'll. ID. COLBOURN, ATTORNEY,
LEFT NORTH EAST, SUNDAY
Former Rebecca WaIWorth, of Cecil
County, Md, Seeks Release from
Father Accused of Taking Her

For the purpose Of obtaining the
release of Miss Rebecca Walworth
1S-year-old daughter of Reginald
Walworth, a Cecil county farmer,
living near Chesapeake City, Md,
from her father, Harold D. Col
bourn, one of the best known law
yers in Cecil county, Md, left his
home in North East early Sunday
night by airplane for Salem, Mass,
where the father and John Mar
shall, of Elkton, will be given a
hearing on a charge of kidnapping
the girl. Colbourn received a mes.
sage from the girl Saturday, ask
inf him to come to Salem and OBJ
tain her release from her father,
who was holding her there. Col
bourn has been flying a plane for
about three months. He took this
method of reaching Salem so that
he might be there early in the
morning to take such action as
necessary in behalf of the girl. So
far as is known this is the first
time that lawyer in this section
has used an airplane to fly to a
hearing. Later in the evening
Sheriff Albert Buckworth left Elk
ton for the purpose of attending
the hearing in Salem and bringing
back the two men in case they are
ordered turned over to the Mary
land authorities The two men
were arrested on warrants issued
by the Cecil county authorities on
a charge of abduction of the girl
and Were arrested at Salem where
they were with relatives. Rebecca
Walworth, oldest daughter of Wal
worth, the Chesapeake City farm
er, eloped to Elkton, and was mar
ried to. Ralph Craig, of Bethel, Md,
early last summer. She was IS.
The marriage was objected to by
Walworth, as he claimed Craig was
married, although separated from
his wife. AS a result Walworth
had Craig arrested on a charge of
bigamy, Craig was indicted at the
September term of court in Elk
ton, and found guilty. The court
suspended sentence, when it was
shown that divorce proceedings
had been instituted. The Walworth
girl left her fathers home in No
vember and is said to have gone to
live with relatives of Craig Wal
worth, last week, asked for a court
order forbidding his girl from go
ing with Craig. The court order
was denied as Craig's wife had not
contested his divorce proceedings.
A week ago, Craig and the former
Miss Walworth, were seated in a
parked automobile when Wal
worth, accompanied by two men
forced the girl to enter Walworth's
car. They are said to have head
ed for New England with the girl.

LEADS us. IN DEBT INCREASE
Debts Boosted From 1885 Per
Per Capita i'm 1915 to S20.91

ItT tdpitd III lJIc 10 pSVsOI
In the 15-year period 1915 to
1880, the per capita net debt of
the State Government of Delaware
increased from 1885 to $20.91,
while the average of the increase
for all 48 States was from 1918 to
S1502, it is stated in a press re-
lease by the Census Bureau made
public last week. But Delaware's
per capita of S20.91 in 1880 COM
pares favorably with it's per capita
debt of $27.42 in 1929 and S31.20
in 1925. The per capita decrease
in the five years from 1925 to 1880
is about one-third. Total gross
debt of the State is put at $685.
900 in 1880, and net debt for that
year S4,977,O0O. Gross debt is de-
fined to be the aggregate of all
outstanding debt obligations of the
State Government. Net debt is
funded or fixed and floating debt
less sinking fund assets. In the
whole country, in the 15-year per-
iod the gross debt of the State gov
ernments increased from 1892, 713,-
600 to $2,444 1854 900, or 358 per
cent, and the net debt increased
from $368, $4,000 to 81, $4,000, or
397 per cent.

One Excellent Reason

"Oh, what a funny-looking COW !"
said the chic young thing from the
city. "Why hasn't 1t any horns?"
There are many reasons" an
swered the farmer, why a COW does
not have horns. Some are born
without horns and do not have any
until the late years of their life.
Others are dehorned. while still
other breeds are not supposed to
have horns at all. There are many
reasons why q COW sometimes does
not have horns. But the chief rea-
son that this COW does not have any
horns is that II isn't COW at all.
It's a horse"

Typewriter History

The first typewriter was intro
duced into England by Sir Alfred
Yarrow, the famous ship builder.
He bought the first dozen that came
to this country from America Ga
years ago. No one in his firm could
use them, so he had to advertise for
a typist. But as no one in Eng
land knew. what a typist was, he
had TO advertise for "a shorthand
writer who can play the piano !"
Eventually he found a young man
who quickly mastered the new in
strument that is nowadays as COM
monplace an object as a fountain
pen.-London Mail.

Rye Heads, Apple Leaves Appear

Delaware has experienced unus-
ual weather this Fall and early
Winter. So unusual is it that many
things in nature seems to have re-
versed themselves. One day last
week Huber Scott, of Houston, dis
played new branches of apple trees
containing newly grown, fully de-
veloped leaves, and several stalks
of rye which were in full head.
Both were taken from the farm of
Elmer Dawson, of Frederick, and
both were in exposed places. The
apple tree stood in a field on the
north side of barn, and the rye,
was also planted so that the cold
windsc could strike it. This latter
crop was planted in August and
had grown to maturity and headed
during the autumn.

EOUCATtON'S NEW TOOLS

1t is becoming rather hard to
dodge some sort of an education
in the United States. There
are part time schools, libraries,
clubs, night schools, free schotls,
high schools, preparatory
schools, colleges, universities.
Chautacquas, lyceums. social
settlements, books. newspapers,
magazines, radio stations, mo.
tion pictures and other institu.
tions and forces contributing to
the intellectual growth of human
ity.
With the numerous new in.
ventions and discoveries-the
telephone, wireless, automobile
and aircraft-the age has almost
prod duced a new language; Ger.
tainly it has added thousands
upon thousands of new terms
to the languages of the world.
The world war produced an en-.
tire new lexicon of war terms,
unknown in the civil war. The
man who drives an automobile
speaks different language
from his horse-driving ancestry.
Ia the school of life today,
children have common know
ledge of some things that, il
they had suddenly appeared in
oiden times, might have struck
the savants of the ancients as
supernatural. OF course the
scholars of the dark ages had
valuable knowledge that still
has to be learned; that helps to
to illuminate our own boasted
age. Still one might imagine
that even Socrates. with his
wealth OF philosophy and bis
calmness in the presence of
death, might have been startled
just bit if be had suddenly
caught a vision of horseless car
riages and had seen lightning
made a drudge. Though he
heard voices" from Invisible
sources the radio would have
amazed him.
Truly the education Of today's
environment ia the United
States has lot in it that is rich
10 interest. Oae can learn a lot
by looking and listening in this
age of wonders. Tempe News.
