tracts were II to 16 points lower.

involved three automobiles occurred
on the Milford-Rehoboth highway
near NAPLES mill pond last Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The acci-
dent resulted in injuries to four
people and the complete wrecking of
two of the cars. The injured are:
Don Spohn and William Spohn,
brothers, and Carl A. Williams, all
of Cleveland, Ohio, and Max E.
Walther of Baltimore, Md. The
four were taken to the Milford

decorations of the face, head, legs,
arms and body. Don Spohn was
discharged shortly after treatment
and his brother and Williams were
discharged ON Monday. Walther is
still being held at the hospital. His
condition is favorable.
The accident happened when
Walther, going west, passed the car
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis David of
Milford, also going west. Walther's
car sideswiped Davis car and
smashed headon into the Ohio car
which was travelling east. The
Davis car was knocked more than
100 feet over a ditch into a field

DAVIS
Miss Anna Jane Davis, following
sudden attack Of heart trouble,
passed away at her home in Milford,
Delaware, at 2;30 a. m, August 8th.
She was the daughter of the late
Robert H. Davis and Anna Jefferson
Frances Davis, and after attending
the private schools of Milford she
graduated at st. Mary's Hall, Bur-
lington, N. j., after which she taught
there for several years. She was
one of nine children, of whom only
three survive, Miss Mary E. Davis,
Robert p. Davis and Miss Burdella
Davis, all of Milford. She leaves
host of friends who will mourn

seious sincerity, her gift for friend
ships, her great capacity for serv-
ice, and the crowning glory of her
life, unselfishness, endeared her to
all who knew and loved her. Hers
an honored rest-a bright awaken

YOICING OBJECTIONS

Everybody complains about the
weather, but nobody does anything
about it.
l am trying. to do something
about it, to prevent a repetition OF
the terrible experience of automo-
bile drivers during the recent auto
mobile inspections in Milford.
Certainly no, one wants to drive
an unsafe auto; but could not pub
lie garages with reliable mechanics,
be authorized to conduct the inspec-
tion over period of several
weeks, instead of having hastily in
structed youths, with no practical
knowledge rush through the work
in six days?
To a large community this causes
inconvenience and discomfort to
the general public.
l was in line for nearly an hour
to reach inspection, then in line for
three hours before adjustments
could be made; then again in line
more than an hour before receiving
card and sticker; and temperature
was 105 degrees F. in the street.
Surely the subject calls for seri-
GUS consideration before the next
session of the General Assembly.

GARRETT GRIER BREAKS
ANKLE IN BASEBALL GAME

Garrett Grier suffered a broken
ankle last Saturday while playing
baseball with the Harrington A. C.
at fredericksburg, Md. In the eighth
inning Grier was ON second when
one of his teammates singled. Grier
rounded third and the coach sig
nailed for him to score on the play
so he dashed for home. AS he
neared home plate the fredericksburg
catcher faxed catching the ball and
Grier slid, thinking that the play
was close. His foot caught on a
rough piece of ground and his ankle
was broken.
Grier was brought to the Milford
Emergency Hospital, where the
break was set. He is still confined
to his bed but as soon as the SWELL
ing in his ankle goes down a cast
will be put ON and he will be able
to get around on crutches.
DR.. Walter Grier, Garrett's father,
also received an injury at the same
place, on the same day. He was
watching batting practice before the
game started and a batted ball land
ed on his foot splintering a small
piece from the bone.

RRIDGEYILLE
JAMES HALL In MILFORD
HAS RIGHT IDEA

With his job assured at the Mil
ford Chronicle composition depart
ment, Jimmy has turned his efforts
for an hour or two each day, at
growing vegetables in the garden
of his home in South Milford, and
success has followed in very prac-
tical and useful form. Aside from
the early table vegetables the fam
lily have had in profusion, there is
now ripening beautiful tomatoes, of
the Ponderosa variety, sufficient
for table supply and sufficient for
canning for winter use of the fam
lily.
A specimen of the tomatoes gath
cred last Saturday one weighed 1%
lbs, and several were gathered from
the same vine weighing around
pound. Some lima beans, for the
family and other vegetables are
produced-with the cost of seed and
one hoe his summer vegetables for
the family outside of potatoes and
cabbage, ares the result of his own
personal efforts for an hour for two
or three days each week. This is
in addition to the flower garden he
has.
That is exactly what other men
and women must do to help along
the buyer power for manufactured
articles.

OPPOSE FEATURES
OF FEDERAL ACT
[COntinued from First Pagel

lCOHffHned Prom fHp Fagel
from engaging in the sale of securi-
ties.
The bill does not go into effect
for more than a year hence and the
bankers hope these two features will
be modified by the Congress in the
meantime. If they are not modified,
it is pointed out a number of Will
mington bank directors will be af-
fected under one or the other.
The bankers also discussed the
provision of the bill which would
permit the Federal Government to
guarantee all deposits in banks
which are members of the Federal
Reserve System.
Some of the bankers expressed
the opinion that this would oblige
all State banks to become members
of the FederaP Reserve, practically
rendering all State banking laws
useless. However, little objection to
this phase of the bill was voiced.
u. S. Senator John G. Townsend,
Jr., a member of the Senate Bank
ing Committee, was questioned at
length on the bill. 1t is expected
the bill will again be considered
and action under its provisions
mapped at the next meeting of the
State Bankers Association, which
will be held next month.
The following resolution, present
ed by John w. Rossell, of Whining
ton, was unanimously adopted:
"That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the Glass-Steagall Bank Bill
of 1888 should receive careful ex-
animation by Delaware banks and
that the State Association at its an
nual meeting should take such action
as the banking situation in the
State should warrant"
