A race with death was won by
DR.. w. T. Chapman, a physician
and surgeon Of Harrington, who
was suddenly called to the Milford
Emergency Hospital to save the
life of a patient during an opera

operating was stricken. While a

was very warm and the heat of the
operating room, it is thought, caus-
ed the attack. Acting quickly in
the emergency the superintendent
nurse telephoned DR.. Chapman at
Harrington, DR.. Chapman being the
nearest surgeon on the staff of the
hospital Luckily DR.. Chapman was
in his office and jumping into his
car the race against time started.
Harrington is nine miles from the
hospital, and it was just six min
utes from the time DR.. Chapman
received the message that he en-
tered the operating room. In the
meantime the oprating surgeon had
revived and with DR.. Chipman's as
sistance the operation was success

TO MAKE SURVEY
OF TRUCK TRAFFIC
State Police to Compile Rec
ord of Auto Freight Con-
Germs Operating in State !.
INCREASING IN BUSINESS

A survey will be made at an
early date, C. C. Reynolds, super
intendent of the State Police, said
last week, of all the truck freight
lines operating Through Delaware.
Pointing to the increasing size of
the trucks operated and the in
creasing Importance of these trucks
in the movements of large ship
ments of freight, Mr.. Reynolds said
that it was desirable to have an
exact record of the truck concerns
operating in and through Della
ware. The size of the trucks is,
he said, an important factor in the
operation of these trucks. While
the solid rubber tire, has, in the
past few years, almost become a
thing of the past, the four, six and
eight wheel pneumatic tired trucks,
semi-trailer trucks and truck and
trailer have so increased in size
and gross tonnage, that their OPP
Grafton in Delaware is considered
to be worthy of study, in relation
to the durability of the highways
here. Scarcely a week goes by"
Mr.. Reynolds said, that some new
truck company, using huge trucks,
is not noted operating through Del
aware. Delaware is one of the few
States that really make an attempt
to enforce the State regulations re-
garding overloaded trucks, as Del
aware is one of the few States that
have he facilities, the large scales
necessary, to weigh these trucks
Our scales, although very expen-
sive, have paid for themselves
many times over, not only in fines
but in the enforcing of the law
and the prevention of damage tc
our highways by the too frequent
use Of heavily overloaded trucks. :
Trucks are regularly weighed al
the Penny Hill, State Road and Do.

truck operators protest the fire

ware, but Mr. Reynolds pointed
out, it was not due to the fact thai
Delaware is unduly severe or the
laws in any way unreasonable, but
due to the fact that Delaware i.
the only nearby State that actual
ly weighs and checks the truck
loads. Schedules of buses operat
ing through Delaware to see thai
they do not require too great &

HURT GOV. BUCK
Unseen Foes Making Scurril-
Gus Attack to Defeat
His denomination
RECORD is OUTSTANDING

1t seems almost incredible that
in this day and age man who has
given his all to the service of the
State, would be subjected to the
grapevine propaganda of unseen
foes and the scurrilous attacks of
poison-penned newspapers because
he answers the call to duty from
the citizens of the State of Della
ware and consents to the continu-
ance of faithful service if the peo-
pie os desire. There is one thing
that Governor Buck has done for
the State of Delaware that de-
serves the commentator of all our
people. He has established a de-
gree of respect for this high office
that cannot be destroyed by those
whose main purpose is to be able
to reach into the public purse and
distribute their holdings among
their followers. Whether or not
the present Governor succeeds him
self is of little concern to him but
whether or not the State Govern
ment shall be turned over to pers-
ons, whose past performances in
public Office are an indication of
what to expect in the future, is of
deep concern to him and should be
to the citizens of this State. His
keen knowledge, gained by four
years of experience in the Gov
ernor's Office, will be of inestim-
able value in the reconstruction of
the financial system of the State in
the four years to come. His close
scrutiny Of the budget require
ments of the several State depart
ments in these days of failing in
come will be sorely needed in the
preparation Of the general appro-
priation bill at the next General
Assembly. His guiding hand in the
bothersome days that seem to be
just ahead of US will be a guaran-
tee to the people Of our State that
what has to be done in the way OF
direct relief will be done without
fear or favor to the best interest OF
all. His earnest efforts to select
for public servants only those who
will give full value for moneys re-
ceived, will be sadly missed should
our State be SO unfortunate as tC
fall into the hands Of persons who
have no conception Of the thought
that "a public Office is a public

QUESTION AS TO
COUNTY POLICE
Better Government League
Question Legality of New
Castle Levy Court
PLAN AN INVESTIGATION

The Better Government League
of Delaware, it is understood, is
planning to question the legality of
the action of the New Castle Coun-
ty Levy Court in taking the con-
troll of the county highway police
from the county engineer placing
it in the hands of a superintendent,
under the Levy Court. The ques-
tion may be taken to the attorney
for the Levy Court within a week
or So In addition. the activity of
the county police on State high
ways and the question of their
jurisdiction will probably be
brought to the attention of Attor-
ney General Reuben Satterthwaite,
with a request for decision as to
their rights in the premises. The
vital question that has arisen in
the public mind is whether or not
the expense of the county police
work is warranted in the light of
results. It is known that factional
political leaders would like to get
control of both the city and county
police. Their moves are, therefore,
being watched. The necessity of
the county police force with the
continual increase in its number
has been a much debated question
among many taxpayers who had
hoped for a substantial reduction
in the county tax rate. The author
ity for the establishing of this po-
lice body, it is claimed, is seeming
ly found in salute enacted 25
years ago, wherein the New Castle
County Levy Court is given con-
troll of the public roads, bridges
and causeways in the county. The
same statute placed the direction
of the care of such roads, bridges,
and causeways in charge of
county engineer, and no obligation
for work or labor could be incur
red save by approval of the coun-
ty engineer. In view of these pro-
visions, the right of the Levy Court
to take from the county engineer
the duties herein given him and
set up the plan of a police force
operated on military basis under
the direction of an officer respon-
sible only to the Levy Court, is be-
ing seriously questioned.

SWAP HUSBANDS,
WIVES, CHILDREN
Unusual Experiment in Eu-
genics Tried Out at Nj
not, South Dakota
FAMILIES ARE PLEASED

Minot, y. Dan unusual expert
ment in eugenics in which two
neighboring families in this county
snapped wives, husbands, children
and homes three years ago has
proved SO successful in the three
year 'try-out" that both women and
their husbands are more than
pleased with the result, while
neighbors who prophesied failure
for the experiment have agreed they
were mistaken. Welfare workers say
it Is the most unusual case in their
experience, being absolutely unique.
The Knights and the Rikensruds
are the families involved. Two hus-
bands, two wives, and seven chill
dren were included in the mixup
and the realignment which followed.
While the Knights had five chill
dren before the realignment, and
the Rikensruds but two, under the
new arrangements the Knights found
themselves with but four children,
while the Rikensruds had their fam
lily increased from two children to
three.
Divorced and Wed Together.
The two families were great
friends before the experiment was
tried and they remain just as good
friends today. The children attend
the same school, the parents went
TO the same church, and often the
four parents would pile into the
same automobile and 60 to the same
movie" show They secured their
divorces together and had a double
marriage the next day. Then they
all came back to their new homes.
Neither the Knights nor the Rik-
ensruds were among the newly
weds" when they decided to ex-
change families. There was no
"hudden impulse" The Knights had
been married IL years and the Rik-
ensruds for II years when the read
justment was undertaken.
fdmllteS = aSt riends.
The head Of one family is VIII
liam Knight. Lawrence Rikensrud
heads the other. The Knights were
from Minneota, Mimi, originally.
while the Rikensruds were married
at Bottineau, y. D.
In time, the two families found
themselves living on adjacent farms
near Minot. Here they were close
friends for several years, the chill
dren growing up together and the
parents being about as intimate as
the usual farm families.
Four or five years ago a change
was gradually coming over the two
families. Instead of husbands and
wives pairing off together when the
two families came to Minot on a
double shopping expedition, or TO
attend a picture show, Knight and
Mrs. Rikensrud often sat together.
while Rikensrud and Mrs. knight
coupled seats alongside the other
couple. Their friends got to teas
ing all four. 1t seemed a good joke.
But there was more to the affair
than just joke. One day in March,
1929, both women filed suits for d.
vorce. alleging cruelty. The same
lawyer acted for both. The two
husbands were in the courtroom
when the DEGREES were handed down
by the judge.
The following morning Rikensrud
married Mrs. Knight and Knight
married Mrs. Rikensrud, with a
double ceremony.
The honeymoons were spent to-
gether.
