Arm0r Plate Made in 1855

THE history of armor plate goes back to
1855 when the French first used metal
to protect the sides of their ships of war.
The first plate was made of cast iron. but
this gave way later To a plate made of iron
with steel poured the surface. This in
time, also gave way to case-hardened steel;
that is, steel with a greater percentage of
carbon near the surface and to steel alloyed
with nickel The plate at one time was as
much as % inches thick, but modern methods
of treating the steel have made such extrsme
thickness unnecessary

that if he returned to Honolulu he would be

Hong Chow ready to talk pointed out that
he had built up a vast opium -peddling business
in Honolulu, and that he had in his safe all
of the smuggling syndicate's records. These
records he gave to Hanks. They talked for
five hours.
This act ultimately brought retribution upon
the gang of bland Orientals that had defed
Uncle Sam for years. Four OF the ring Lau
Lee, Yung Bark Yau, Ching Chong Hee and
Ching Hee were convicted and sentenced to IL
years in Oahu prison. while Chin How and
Hond Chow were shown leniency.
Melvin Hanks left Honolulu with promotion

TO WIDEN ROAD
TO BALTIMORE
Maryland Legislature To Con-
slider Bill To Widen High
way Forty Feet
COST WOULD BE S3,OOO,OOO

A bill is to be introduced in the
Maryland Legislature. this week,
authorizing the State of Maryland
to issue 100000 inbonds, the
money to be used in rebuilding the
Philadelphia Road from Baltimore
to the Delaware line, passing thru
Aberdeen, Havre deGrace, North
East, and Elkton. The proposed
new road is to be 40 feet wide and
is to run parallel to the present
road and none of the towns shall
be eliminated. The move to widen
the road is welcome news to the
public. In many places the pres
ent road is hardly wide enough to
pass with comfort. Added to this
risk are the many dangerous curv-
eS which motorists have to contend
with almost all the way to Balti-
more. Some of these curves, to be
true, have been much improved in
recent years, and some stretches
of roads have been widened but not
sufficient for the constantly grow
ing traffic that goes over it. A
forty foot road all the way from
the Delaware line east of Elkton
to Baltimore would be real boon
to motorists and Delaware and
Pennsylvania will watch the pro-
gress of this bill thru the Maryland
Legislature with keen interest.
The bill provides that the State of
Maryland make the Susquehanna
River bridge a toll bridge, the pro-
ceeds to be used in paying the in
terest on the $3,000,0OO road bonds
and also in paying off the bonds.
The bill also provide yearly tickets
for residents of Cecil and Hartford
counties at a nominal sum. Should
the proposed bill become a law, it
will give employment to several
hundred men during the entire
Summer.

MIDDLETOWN BANK ASSETS
What Remains of Peoples Bank of

The remaining assets of the
Peoples National Bank of Middle
town, which closed about three
years ago, is to be sold at public
auction to wind up the affairs of
the institution. Announcement of
the sale has been made by Alonzo
Tweedle, receiver of the bank.
Among the remaining assets are
the Willow Grove Mill property,
sixteen lots at Rehoboth, unpaid
notes, notes signed by parties who
have been discharged in bank
ruptcy on real and personal prop
erty, furniture and fixtures in the
bank building and residence at
tached. At the time it was closed,
many farmers about Middletown
who had borrowed money were sew
erely affected by its closing. The
sale must be approved by the
Comptroller of Currency of the
United States.

Another snowstorm visited this
section Saturday, blanketing Della
ware to a depth of two or three
inches. The storm set in Saturday
morning and continued thru the
day. Sunday morning a blustry
cold wave set in, driving the snow
into drifts that made travelling
heavy. The State Highway De-
partment had their snow plows
out, especially on east and west
roads where drifts in some places
made it difficult for cars to get
through. In one instance, on the
Brenford road, car became inn
bedded in a drift, call sent in to
a Smyrna garage; the service car
got struck and another service car
had to come to the aid of the first,
the two together pulling the pass

caught in drifts were reported but
in each case they succeeded in get
