SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE,
Automobile Is Too Often Pic
tured as a Modern Death
Dealing Juggernaut
FAULT is WITH DRIVERS

There is deporable tendency on
the part of some unthinking peo-
pie to lay the blame for the many
motorcar accidents which occur
each year on the machine. Ac-
cording to the Delaware Safety
Council the automobile is too often
pictured as modern death deal
ing juggernaut which dashes rapid
ly, recklessly and frequently in an
undisciplined manner spreading
death and destruction in its wake.
Such Characterization of the mo-
torcar is manifestly unfair The
automobile as piece of machinery
is not unsafe. The fault more Of
ten than not rests with the driver.
1t is the driver to be feared, not
the automobile. No less an author
ity than Benjamin G. Eynon, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles of
Pennsylvania, pointed out recently
that traffic safety is 95 per cent
education and 5 per cent enforce
ment- One Of the biggest prob
lens is the education of automobile
owners and drivers. When we are
able to sell the idea Of safety to a
sufficiently large proportion of
drivers, then we can expect an ap-
preciable decrease in motor traffic
accidents. Effective safety educa-
ton is the ideal which our author
tiles seek. To educate persons in
the mass in a subject of this ma
ture is admittedly a difficult and
long task. We can point out for
example that only 5O,510 members
Of the American Expeditionary
Forces were killed in action and
died of wounds in eighteen months
of warfare. We can compare this
with the SO, $50 persons killed in
automobile accidents in the United
States in the eighteen months end
ing December 81 last. But this
fact makes scant or at least a
temporary impression upon most
drivers. In like manner we can
emphasizes the danger of passing
cars on curves or tell the public
that many fatal accidents result
annually from lack of caution at
intersections. Yet thousands of
drivers viii continue to pass cars
on curves or will dash recklessly
across a dangerous intersection.
Virtually all authorities contend
that the answer lies with the mo-
torists. They must learn not to
take chances. They must govern
their speed according to conditions
They must use appropriate hand
signals and respect the other fell
lows signals. They must not pass
cars on curves or on hills. They
must not go down hills in high
gear. They must not drive cars
with faulty brakes or with defec-
tice steering gears. They must
keep ther headlights properly TO-
cused and they must acquire a
more widespread realization of
their personal responsibility as
drivers.

Automobile stolen in Dover

Friday morning between II and
II the automobile Of w. E. Failing,
of Magnolia, was stolen from in
front Of Hotel Richardson on State
street, Dover, where it was parked
while the Failings went shopping.
The car was a Ford two door sedan
and equipped in the rear for a
trailer. 1t was a 1881 model and

Awarding of Kent County Bonds

At an opening at Dover by the
Kent County Levy Court of a S13.-
600 bond issue, there were but two
bidders, the Farmers Bank of DO
yer and Joseph T. Robbins, of Mil
ford. The Farmers Bank bid on
the entire number of bonds at S13,-

| is can be had from tabulation of
yield per acre showing the poten-
tial average net profits, as follows:
In maximum production-cucum-
bers, $3.50; string beans, $500; to-
matoes, $500; cabbage, $500; on
ions, S225; strawberries, $3.50; can
taloupes, $500; asparagus, $500;
sweet potatoes, $3.50; white pota-
toes, SITS; watermelons, $100. That
is almost enough to start a back
to-the-land movement right away,
if any guarantee could be had to
back up the record. But there is
no doubt as to the profitable prod
uct of the soil of the Peninsula.
The fact that during the past ten
years it has averaged an annual
output of between 80 and 40 mil
lion dollars worth of canned goods,
is competent evidence. Then there
are fruits everybody knows Of the
Delaware peaches livestock and
poultry. And withal there are low
taxes to be paid and markets near
at hand and marketing facilities
are all that could be desired. The
statistician of the booklet takes
pencil and adding machine in hand
and figures out than 30-acre
farm in Del-Mar-Va can produce a
profit of from 81 200 to $500, if
properly developed. Believe it or
not, that makes good reading and
is like whiff of the good pure air
from the Peninsula il these days
of general economic malaria.
It's Industries and Institutions
The Peninsula is not all farm
land, however. There is much
more in the book for which there
. is not space here. There are great
industries there. Everybody knows
that Delaware is the home of the
duPonts, whose industrial products
are legion. And there are various
other large industrial plants as
well. It may not be known that
the largest manufacturer of wood
en- spoons in the whole world is To-
Gated in the Peninsula, and people
do use wooden spoons. The ser
vice Of public institutions, Of
churches and schools, Of hospitals
and homes is complete. Del-Mar-
/ Va is a good place in which to live.
The mortality statistics indicate
that they live long, and the court
records and the police blotters indi-
cate that generally they live hap
