Delaware Safety Council Warns
Of Dangers Of Winter Driving

usual number of those you meet on
the highway are mechanically unfit.
Winter driving brings increased
hazards. There are several things
of special Importance. Now is the
time to check them over. There are
skidding hazards. Snow, ice and wet
streets make safe driving a real job
The good driver learns to anticipate
such hazards and drive accordingly.
There is the hazard of low visibility.
Keep the windshield clean at all
times. Drive slowly and carefully
during heavy fogs and snow stoms-
if you really must drive. Keep ice
and snow off the running board.
Many bad falls occur each winter
from slippery steps. Be sure there
is plenty of ventilation in the ga
rage. Carbon mOnoxide deaths are
numerous in cold weather. And

already been several near tragedies

Whether He Will Support
A Bill To Legalize Beer
At Session Next Week.

Legislation withdrawing Federal
prohibition enforcement funds from
use in eighteen States which have
no enforcement laws of their own
will be introduced at the present
short session of Congress by U. S.
Senator Daniel o. Hastings.
In announcing that he has draft
ed a bill for presentation to the
"lame duck" session of Congress,
Senator Hastings also said that he
was prepared to vote for a resolu-
tion amending the eig ghteenth
amendment. He added that ''if can
not get the kind of amendment that
l prefer, | shall vote to submit
resolution that would repeal it en-
tirely."
He said that while he has not yet
decided whether he will support a
bill to legalize beer at the approach
ing session of Congress, he believes
that in view of the enforcement sit
uation existing in the eighteen
States he mentions, Congress should
do something to withdraw Federal
enforcement funds from those
States. The eighteen States have
either failed to pass State enforce
ment acts or having passed them,
have repealed them through refer
enda.
Senator Hastings said he would
sponsor in Congress a bill proVid-
ing in effect as follows:

According to the Delaware Safety
Council the depression has a def
nitely demoralizing effect on high
way safety. And here's one good
reason: by the end of this year, it
is estimated that rs per cent of the
passenger cars in the United States
will be more than years old and
more than On-third will be more than
years old. Contrast that with fig
ures years ago. At that time only
So per cent of the cars were over
3 years old and only 20 per cent
were more than years old. Now
an automobile, no matter how care
fully it is kept up, is bound to suf-
fer somewhat, mechanically, with
age. Moreover, it isn't equipped
with the most recently developed
safety devices. If you are driving
one of these older cars, you've got
to compensate for these deficiencies
with an extra ounce of caution. And

Garner Wants Question
Ready For 1888 State
Legislatures.
SOME DOUBT MOVE
Attorneys Doubt Brew
Can Be Legal While
Amendment Stands.
SOME DOUBT MOVE

The Democratic House leaders are
going forward with plans for speedy
action on both repeal and beer leg
islation before the Congressional
Christmas holidays beginning about
December 90.
Speaker Garner is determined to
have vOtet on a repeal resolution
the day Congress meets next Mon
day. He hopes that the Senate can
act on the question in time for the
State Legislatures meeting in 1888
to pass upon it.
Although sentiment for quick con-
sideratiOn is strong in the Senate,
some leaders said it would await
House action on both repeal and
beer before taking mp prohibition.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, the
Republican leader, said the Glass
amendment probably would be re-
ferred TO the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, indicating that action in that
branch would be delayed until Jan
uary.
Senator Walsh 3D., MissD, an
nOunced, however, he would intro
duce new beer bill providing for
an alcoholic content of 80 per cent
by weight or 3.75 per cent by vol
ume, and would press for speedy
consideration.
All Democratic and Republican
House members have been summon
ed by their leaders to be present on
the opening day to vote on repeal.
Garner is drafting the resolution.
While he has declined to make its
contents public, it is understood to
be along the lines of the Democratic
platform calling for outright repeal.
1t requires SO states to ratify a
constitutional amendment. Forty
four of the IS state legislatures meet
iii 1898. Garner's idea is that if
Congress adopts a repeal resolution
early in the session, it could be rati-
fled within a few months. Already

BISHOP COOK
URGES CHRISTMAS
SEALS PURCHASE

Along with Thanksgiving
time come the Christmas Seals.
Though intended to adorn our
letters and packages at Christ
mas-tide they come just in
time for an expression to the
Thanksgiving Spirit. If there
are some who feel they have
little else to be thankful for
this year, they can at least
thank God they have not Tu-
berculosis-that dread White
Plague.
They can be grateful they
are the ones to whom the Op-
pOrtunity to buy the Seals is
offered and not among those
unfortunates who require this
help because the disease has
incapacitated them for normal
work and perhaps holds over
them the threat of untimely
death. This alone is enough to
prompt us to take our share
of these Seals and regard it
as a privilege that this portion
of our Thanksgiving offering
goes into the relief of those
who suffer now, and also to
help along those preventive
methods which in time will rid
us of this plague if we keep
up the warfare against il till
victory is assured.
