BIC FIRMS PLAN
1883 GROWTH

Increased advertising, large
purchases of raw materials while
commodity prices are low, and
purchases of new machinery and
equipment are three favorable
and recurrent factors in the indus
trial situation revealed by an in
veStigation of the 1888 plans of
80 outstanding American corpora
tionS recently completed for the
Administrative and Research Cor.
poration, New York.
The Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company, one of
the companies covered by the in
vestigation, announces that it is
prepared to spend $1,260,00 for
raw materials, supplies and devel-
Qpment work. The funds are i'm
rnediately available and will be
expended during the next few
months.
The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company is reported
to have launched a $35,000,000
Wodernization program. The
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey had adopted a $4,000, 900
1nodernization program calling
for the purchase of new machin-
cry and equipment, and improve
faent of plant facilities.
Another large manufacturing
company reports that it expects
70 continue during 1888 practi-
Cally the same amount of adver-
Using as was done in 1882, which
was considerably more than that
company had ever done in any
previous year.

Leaves, When They Become
Wet, Make a Mighty Slip
perry Surface on Roadway
} DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY

Failing leaves, in addition to re-
minding us that summer is about
to depart, should remind us as mo
torists that driving hazards, too.
are undergoing a seasonal change,
cautions the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil. Those very leaves present a
new danger. When they become
wet they make a mighty slippery
surface on the roadway. That
means brakes must be mechanical
ly perfect and speed must be cut
down on those residential streets
where Nature has laid down this
unstable carpet. Dusk will fall
earlier from now on, and that
dangerous twilight period between
daylight and darkness will come
when there are still many children
on the streets. Another reason for
driving cautiously. Heavy fogs and
light mists are characteristic of
Autumn. Look to the perfect
working order of your windshield
wiper. One of these mornings
there will be frost on the pavement
which, when melted by the sun,
will create another skidding haz-
ard. Yes, change in seasons
brings about a change in driving
hazards, and the wise motorist will
regulate his habits accordingly. To
think Of driving fast in terms of
how far one goes in a second is one
good way to curb that tendency to
resort to high speed in night driv-
ing. We suggest you try it. At
fifty miles an hour, for instance.
you cover over seventy-three feet
every second. At sixty miles an
hour you travel lightweight feet
per second. And headlights, when
in good condition, light the road for
only about two hundred feet ahead.
Just remember those facts when
you feel like stepping on the gas"
at night. At either speed you have
less than three seconds in which to
stop should danger loom up sud
denly two hundred feet ahead Of
the car. Three seconds isn't very
long, especially when you consider
that it takes a goodly portion Of
that time for the average driver
to make up his mind what he is
going to do.

MAN DIES, THREE
HURT IN CRASH
James Jester, Choptank, Nd,
Road Foreman, Fatally In
jured When Car Hits Tree
WOMAN SERIOUSLY HURT

James Jester, age 55, Choptank,
Md, a road foreman for Caroline
county, was fatally injured and
three other persons were badly
hurt when an automobile in which
they were riding skidded from the
road and crashed into a tree near
Choptank. The shattered steering
wheel penetrated TESTERS abdomen
and his hip was broken. He was
taken to his home after the acci-
dent, where he died. The critically
injured person is Mrs. Annie But
Ter, 65 years old, who suffered frac-
lures Of both legs and internal in
juries. Mrs. Earl Jester, daugh-
ter-in-law of the dead man, and
her son, Earl, Jr., suffered severe
lacerations and minor injuries. The
injured are in the Emergency Hos
pital at Easton. All are of Chop
tank. The accident was investi-
gated by Town Officer Philip
Bright, of Preston, who gave first
aid treatment to the injured and
took Mr.. Jester to his home, where
be died. Mr.. Jester is survived by
a wife and one son Earl.

commonwealth, and when, outside
of Wilmington, Claymont, DUPONT
and Smyrna Districts the people of
the State pay no property tax for
current school expenses, and where
even in those districts the tax lev
led is nominal there can be no rea-
son, from the taxpayers" point of
view, for making reduction in
school expenditures. When actual
necessity for retrenchment of
school expenses arises, that neces-
sity will be met with the same sac
rificing spirit which has ever been
characteristic of members of the
teaching profession, but until that
necessity presents itself, I believe
it is the solemn duty of those re-
sponsible for carrying on the edu-
cational work of the State to keep
in mind the welfare of the child
and of the State, as dependent
thereon. In the light of our pres
ent financial condition a reduction
of salaries can have but one impli-
cation and that is that school ad-
ministrators, supervisors, princi-
pals, teachers and others are not
earning the salaries which they re-
ceive. 1 do not believe there is any
fairminded person in the State,
who knows all the factors in the
case, who would be willing to de-
fend that thesis. The first three
classes above mentioned are men
and women who have spent years
in preparing themselves for their
chosen work, have had long and
valuable experience and have dem
onstrated their efficiency. Their
pay at best is scarcely comparable
to that received by others in pro-
fessional fields. Teachers are now
paid on the basis of their prepara-
tion, their experience and their eff
fciency. No other State servants
have their salaries determined on
such a scientific and equitable
basis. Their salaries should not be
reduced except from actual neces-
sity, which as has been pointed out
does not now exist in Delaware.
This condition existing in no other
State Of the union should now be
the pride and glory Of The First
State" He said he believes it
sound policy to place some Of the
school surplus in a permanent fund
to loan it as it were to the State
for any emergency purpose which
nay be determined upon as desir-
able.

In commemoration of the ami

appropriate exercises were held
Saturday afternoon on the historic
school grounds, including the ring
ing of the ancient school bell and
a roll call of students who attend
ed the institution years ago. Men
and women of prominence who re-
ceived their early education at the
old academy, once more visited the
two story brick building and re-
called their school days. The ex-
ercises began on the academy
grounds at 3 P NJ, when tribute
was paid Colonel Henry Hollings-
worth who, in 1887, had through
legislative enactment the founda-
tion laid for the school. The pro-
gram, sponsored by Miss Orvella

Hollingsworth, was in charge of
Professor Guy johnson, principal
of the Elkton High School and was

The Attorney General could not strike better blow for

versey the
That Attorney General Mitchell is of the niquitous
extension of the search power contained in the bill is
parent from his discussions with Senator Howell when the
latter first proposed his "home raid provisions.
The Howell bill goes far beyond the Voead law laying
open to search suspicion the dwellings of residents Of
Washington.
Possibly the provision would enable police catch boot
logger two Certainly it would allow the police to enter
any home in the District in carrying personal spite
acting upon the spite of any other citizen.
That is too dangerous probability to accept in order to
obtain the remote possibility
The Attorney General should vigorously condemn the bill
and the Senate committee should promptly embam it.
