SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
Horse-Drawn Vehicles Requir-
ed to Carry Light After
Dark According to Law
PRECAUTIONS GIVEN

Do people who drive horse-drawn
vehicles realize that they must
display lights on these vehicles af-
ter dark when on the highway :?
The Delaware Safety Council has
been asked this pertinent question
by scores of motorists who are
anxious for their own as well as
other peoples safety The Motor
Vehicle Laws Of the State Of Del
aware, Section 128, Paragraph G.,
states that: "HorSe-draWn vehicles
are required to carry one or more
lighted lamps or lanterns display
ing a white light visible under nor
NAL atmospheric conditions from a
distance not less than 500 feet in
front Of such vehicle and display
ing a red light visible under like
conditions from a distance of not
less than 500 feet in the rear of
such vehicle" Driving at night
without lights is inviting death and
the Safety Council suggests that
every carriage should be perman-
emily equipped with a good light.
This light should be carefully in
spected before each trip to deter
mine that it contains a sufficient
quantity Of fuel and that the wick
is properly trimmed. Wagons and
carts, due to the rough usage they
generally receive, are more like
ly not to be equipped with lights.
It is a good idea to carry the light,
during the daytime, in the tool box
which is standard equipment on
most wagons, then when darkness
falls it can be removed and placed
in its special container If the
wagon is loaded with hay or other
infiammable materials the lantern
should be attached near the top of
the wagon rack center pole. A few
moments devoted to the inspection
and proper placing of the lights
will amply reward the driver for
his trouble. The demands for
safety are more stringent than the
demands Of the law and rightly SO.
Laws are primarily to insure jus
tice. A full appreciation Of safety
saves lives and limbs no matter
who is to blame People driving
carriages and wagons without
proper illumination after dark
should be classified as reckless
drivers just the same as the motor
vehicle operator who attempts to
pass another car on the crest of
hill or who zig zags from one side
Of the road to the other.

EDUCATION IN
YOUTH INCREASES
Show That Juvenile
Delinquency Decreased One
Half in Last 20 Years
mot GOING TO DOGS"

Observation-Disclosures do not jus
tify the conclusion that Juvenile &C.
linquency is on the increase, accord
ing 70 a recent report Of the Ma
tional Education association which
has just completed an investigation
Of the truth Of the oft-repeated as
sertion that youth is going to the
dogs"
Reports from several Of the large
cities including Chicago ana New
York do not Indicate that delin-
quency has grown faster than the
population. In fact, the number Of
delinquent boys per thousand popu-
lation has decreased by one-half dur
ing the past twenty years in New
York, where there were $1,000 bows
brought before the Children's court
from 1902 to 1911. and only 81, 900 in
the decade just closed. The total
number Of juvenile delinquents
brought before courts each yeariE tile
United States has been estimated
at Approximately 100000.
Juvenile delinquency seems to be
closely associated with certain EN-
virOnmental and hereditary factors,
though no agreement exists as to
the relative weight Of them III con
tributing to the waywardness Of
youth. The economic uncertainty
ort6 Iacl- IF onDfro1 -, b..,1.,,, l,r,,,.,..
are very frequent factors. Older
children who are delinquent often
lead younger children into crime.
Neighborhoods in which the popula-
tion frequently changes seem to lose
those social controls that reduce de-
linquency. Street trades and other
employments Of juveniles either
tend to attract or develop delinquent
children.
4 summary Of surveys Of delin-
qGency shows that certain personal
factors such as race. nativity, sex,
age, intelligence, and physical con
dition have a bearing on delin-
quency. There is a larger proper
tlon Of negro children appearing he
fore the courts than might be eX-
pected. Homes in which one or
both parents are foreign-born seem
TO supply more than their share Of
juvenile court cases. Boys who face
the juvenile judge outnumber girls
more than five to one.
Any delinquency is recognized as
too much. The study shows that
the following efforts among others
are being made toward a still fur
ther reduction Of delinquency. State
laws provide for 24-hour-a-day par
entail schools special day schools for
truants and incorrigibles are being
established in many cities: special
classes, behavior clinics. mental hy-
giene, educational and vocational
guidance, education in the wise
use of leisure. and i'm character, are
now part Of the regular routine of
hundreds of schools where the OBJ
jective Is the prevention Of delin-
quency rather than the cure of it.

NEW JERSEY HAS ANOTHER CRIME
 FOR SOLUTION
Bradley Brown Was Found Shot to Death in His Palmyra Home During the Night

Palmyra, N. J., Jan 17.-(UP)- The mother-in-law of Bradway Brown, found shot to death in his home here last night, indicated by telephone early to-day that she suspected a motive for murder
 She said she was certain Brown when asked if she knew of Q mo- tive said, "I have my own ideas about that"
 The mother-in-law, Mrs D. s. H. McCauley, was at her home in Beaver, Pa, where Browns wife, her daughter, was visiting when police informed her that Brown had been killed. Mrs Brown left Beaver immediately for Palmyra.
 Police and Chief County Detec- tive Ellis Parker declined to say definitely whether they considered Browns death murder or suicide, but Dr Dean Lefevre said he was certain it was murder.
 Brown, 32, was a son of the late Charles T. Brown, treasurer of Swarthmore college and president of the Franklin Printing Go of Philadelphia, who committed sui- eide in 1881. The younger Brown was a figure in the Wilson Rob berts murder case at Moorestown, N. J., in 1929 Miss Ruth Wilson, Browns fiancee, and Horace Roberts, Jr, her former fiancee, were shot to death in the Wilson home. A coroner's jury decided Roberts had shot Miss Wilson and then committed suicide.
 Brown was found dead in his home last night after neighbors reported hearing screams and shots and seeing two men run from the house. He lay amid scatetred toys of his two-year old daughter, who was with her mother In Beaver. A revolver was by his side. Lights were on in the house, and all doors were locked. His body bore two wound one of which, according to Dr Lefevre, could not have been self-inflicted. Both shots were fired at close range.
 Police found evidence that Brown might have been shot In his garage, where his car was found with the hood warm, and then carried into the house. He wore his hat and overcoat when he was found, and apparently had been about to leave to keep an appointment to bowl. Two empty gin bottles and a third part full were found in the garage, and police appeared to att tach importance to them.
 Brown was connected with the printing firm which his father had headed. He commuted to Philadel- phia.

criminated against by being sub jected to increasing and unjuss rates. Many who have paia promptly are in such financial dif- faculties that no additional dis criminatory burden should be inns posed upon or against them"
 The commissioner finds no so- Iution in the delinquency problem in appealing to the courts for fore- closures. It is in all it's essentials and administrative problem. That there are altogether too many foreclosures no one doubts"
 The commissioner recommends appointment 7 of commissions m both cities and smaller communi- ties to compel payment of delin- quent taxes which ought to be paio and to inquire separately into cases of delinquency which merit consideration with the purpose or finding means, if possible, of pro- tecting the deserving from the rigors of statutes designed to apply only to those who pay no taxes at all unless by compulsion of such laws.

FOUR DAYS OLD BABY CAUSING
 MUCH TROUBLE
Born Friday the 18th to Former Princess of Italy and King Boris and Christened Hurriedly

Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan 17. (UP)- The Princess Maria Louise, four days old, was the center to-day of q diplomatic incident.
 Pope Plus xI officially protested against the infants being christen- ed in the Greek orthodox faith.
 The child was born Friday to Queen Joanna, the former Princess Giovanni of Italy, wife of King Boris III. The christening was ar- ranged hurriedly even before the Queens mother, Queen Helena of Italy, had time to arrive from Rome.
 The Popes protest, conveyed to foreign Minister Mouchanoff through Papal Nuncio Monsignor Ange Joseph Roncalli, contended King Boris was guilty of a breach of his solemn agreement to christen his children in the Roman Catholic faith. The agreement was made when the Pope granted spe- cial dispensation for the marriage of the Greek Orthodox king to the Italian princess, a member of the Roman Catholic church.
 The United Press understood that Foreign Minister Mouchanoff replied immediately to the Pope, saying that the Bulgarian govern ment took full responsibility for the christening.
 The Papal nuncio protested 'in an energetic but friendly manner before the official protest was de- livered from the Pope. Mgr Ron- calli said he would have under stood the difficulty had the child been boy, as the Bulgarian con- stitution requires that the king and crown prince be Greek orthodox. But the constitution puts no re- strictions on other children in the royal family.
 The Papal nuncio indicated that the christening would not affect the queens relationship with the church and that intercession would be made in her behalf at the Vati- can. He expressed sympathy over the conflicting religious obligations of the royal family.

Hartford, Conn, January IT - (UP) - Revision of certain state statutes is necessary to aid finan. cially distressed municipalities and more equally distribute the tax burden, State Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett declared in his biennial report to Governor w. l.. Cross and the general assembly today.
 Frail tax laws should be cor rected, state aid policies examined and laws imposing property taxes revised Ito meet modern condi- tions to the end that the local tax load be more equally distributed" he said.
 He advocated simultaneous com mencement of fiscal years of all local governments to avoid the necessity of borrowing money to meet current expenditures" and appointment of a commission to aid municipalities find a solution for their problems.
 "Plans should be devised, if pos sible, to limit the burden in many communities where the load upon real estate Is found, after analysis, to be excessive" he said. These problems can best be met by en- trusting their study and solution to a commission composed of persons who are conversant with, and have wide knowledge of tax practices hero and elsewhere, who represent no group of taxpayers but who can be depended upon to deal with handed fairness among tax paying groups and to find means of spreading the tax load widely, to the end that minimum rates may be imposed upon all and the social, industrial and economic interests of the state be conserved and pro- tected."
 The tax delinquent problem, he pointed out, is one which compels serious study. Many communities have been unable to collect back taxes whereas others, through their own negligence, have per- mitted them to accumulate over a period of years and now find them uncollectable. The prob- lem, he said, was more serious in cities than in smaller communl- ties where the tax burden Is not so pressing.
 Annually increasing delinquency diminishes the base of future levies," the commissioner asserted, "the result being that those who have paid their taxes annually when due are certain to be dis
