CONFIDENCE VOTED.
TRAFFIC OFFICERS
Lincoln Park Citizens Offer
Cooperation, Urging In
crease in Force.

The Lincoln Park Citizens Associa-
ton went on record last night voicing
confidence in the Police Department
in their efforts to decrease traffic IA
talities, and cooperating as much as
possible in helping to remedy this
condition.
c. c. Gillikin, chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee, in his re-
port to the association said, I'VE have
a critical condition in our city and
the only way we can remedy this sit
uation is to have more policemen and
more cooperation among the motor
lists" He stated further that if the
pedestrian would comply with the reg
ulations more and not "jaywalk" SC
much there would be fewer accidents
Lieut.. John F. Flaherty of the fifth
precinct pointed out that the ma ajority
of cases of children being injured in
the streets are in their immediate
neighborhood, and in most instances
the motoriSt is not at fault, because
the children do not realize the danger
of playing in the streets. He said
teachers and police should explain to
the children the dangers.
Fairgrounds insufficient.
Lieut.. Frank A. Varney of the ninth
precinct declared that the District
does not provide sufficient Fairgrounds
for the children, and that many OF
them would not be injured If they had
playground in their section.
Action on a suggestion by Com
missioner Hazen that precinct COM
mander and patrolman be responsible
for gambling houses in their precincts
was postponed until next meeting
pending investigation by the Executive
Board Committee and the Public Utili-
ties Committee. Action on compulsory
automobile insurance also was post
poned.
Mrs. H. S. Bernton of the Com
munity Chest in a short talk said,
''The Community Chest as a financial
federation of agencies serves as a
clearing house for local agencies. She
stressed the need of membership and
said the Chest is not a relief-giving

Play Space Too Small.
w. F. Winn, chairman of the Parks
and Fairgrounds Committee, said, THE
lot purchased for playground at G
and F between Ninth and Tenth
streets northeast, which now has four
houses on it, proved inadequate for
q playground"
Winn was selected to write letter
to the Park and Planning Commission
requesting them to remove the houses
and complete the playground
E. j. Murphy gave a short address
on the works done by various commit
tees on the Halloween celebration and
said that in the next five or ten years
it would be the greatest celebration the
people of Washington would witness
He also said he had hopes that the
citizens would have a Christmas tree
on the Plaza, to be enjoyed by men,
bers of all of the churches of the city.
John p Kern, president of the asso-
citation, presented to the group a cup,
donated by Emile, Inc, for the best
decorated car in the civic group oc-
cupied by less than 10 persons, in the
recent Halloween parade.

CONDUIT EXPLODES

An explosion in a power conduit of
the Capital Transit Co. on New York
avenue between Fourteenth and Fiji

tragedy when the shattered manhole

traffic was passing. nobody was hit.

Democracy is all very we'll. But
notice the wives of several New Deal
ers haunt the auction rooms which
put on the block the furnishings of
elegant embassies. The household be-
longings of M. Van Royen, one-time
Dutch Minister here, drew record
crowd of brain-trusting wives. So,
too, does the furniture that once sat
in splendor about the Venezuelan
Legation.

DR.. SCHMITT MADE VISIT.
U. S. Biologist Recalls Conditions in
Island Colonies.

One Of the last Americans to visit
the lonely white settlers on the desc
late Galapagos Islands in the West
ern Pacific was DR.. Waldo M. Schmitt,
biologist of the United States National
Museum, who was a member of the
collecting expedition of Capt. G. Al
Ian Hancock Of Los Angeles last year.
At that time DR.. Schmitt made the
acquaintance Of both DR.. Frederick
Ritter and Dora Karwin in one set
tlement and of the Baroness Won
Wagner and her male companion on
the other. He did not encounter
Frank Wittmer or Alfred Lorenz.
The two little white colonies were
not on the best of terms with each
other at the time and were living on
different islands. But however desc
late, it is difficult to understand how
one could Starve to- death, unless
physically disabled. on these islands,
with the seas around full of food.
DR.. Schmitt is planning to return
this Winter with the Hancock party
to make further collections for the
Smithsonian Institution.

SALEM, Mass, November 20.-The
battle for control of the State Senate,
which was deadlocked with 20 Demo-
Gratis and 20 Republicans after the re-

CODE AUTHORITIES TO
DISTRIBUTE BLUE EAGLE
Employers May Expect To Receive
The NRA Symbol Very Shortly

No employer in Kent and Sussex
counties, who is complying with his
Code need experience any further
delay in getting his Blue Eagle. In
order to speed action, Administra-
tor Hugh S. Johnson has just in
structed Code Authorities to distri-
butte Blue Eagles Immediately to
members of their respective indus
tries.
Employers may therefore expect
to receive the MIRA symbol from
their code authorities in a very
short time. Should any business
man feel that delivery is unreason-
ably delayed, he need only apply to
his local code authority representa-
tive to get his Blue Eagle immedi-
ately. If he is in doubt on any point
he may secure information through
the representative, or through Will
son NJ. Vineyard, temporary chair
man of the Milford N. r. A. Com
mittee.
Code authorities are applying to
the Insignia Section of n. R. A for
a supply sufficient to allot one to
each member of its respective trade
or industry. Administrator John
sons instructions are that these be
fused to permit any more statues to
be placed there and all the States
have been ordered to remove all but
one of their statues. This made it

Urges Auto Owners
Use Greater Care In
Aroiding accidents
The Automobile Is More Deadly Than The Beasts of
The Jungle, The Elements At Their Worst, Or The
Devastating Weapons OF Warfare.

The automobile, considered one of
the greatest boons of the twentieth
century, is more deadly than the
beasts of the jungle, the elements
at their worst, or the devastating
weapons of warfare, according to
the Delaware Safety Council. which
is waging a fight for safety on the
streets and highways. To prove this
startling statement the Safety COun-
Gil produces figures which show that
in all Americas wars sinceScolonial
days 100000 Americans were killed
in action or died of wounds. while
in the last fifteen years approx
mately the duration of the major
wars-325,000 Americans have been
killed in automobile accidents or
died Of injuries received in them.
That most of the fatal accidents
could have been prevented is clearly
shown when the causes are examin-
ed. IT the year 1882 over $50 of
the drivers in fatal accidents were
going too fast; nearly 1879 drove
off the roadway; and more than 1870
were driving on the wrong side of
the road. In practically all of these
cases the accidents could have
been prevented by the use of moth

CAESAR RODNEY STATUE
In STATUARY HALL
Clayton Memorial To Be Placed In
Second Group

Members of the Statuary Commits
sion have selected the statue of
Caesar Rodney. one OF the signers
of the Declaration of independence
from Delaware, to represent this
State among the galaxy of the ma

airy Hall in the Capitol Building in
Washington. The choice was made
as between that Of Rodney and
John NJ. CalytOn. another distin-
gulshed Delawarean.
Statuary Hall is the location in
Washington wherQ each State has
been permitted to place one or more
statues of its famous sons. AT pres

creation of a commission and apprO-
priated $4,000 to have two statues
of famous Delawareans made and
it was intended to place them in
the hall.

ing more than ordinary care and
common sense. Pedestrians also
have exhibited inexcusable and
wantOn carelassness which have
caused fatalities. In the same year
aver $3.50 of the fatal accidents
were caused by pedestrians cross
ing between intersections; more
than 1870 where pedestrians cross
ed carelessly at intersections; and
almost l49o where persons we're
walking along the highway. Deaths
caused by natural catastrophies are
unavoidable; fatalities among prim-
tive peoples are expected momen-
tarily; but in a civilized world with
all its safeguards only mans own
carelessness is to blame. The as

was tastefully decorated in blue
and gold. In the receiving line were
Mrs. G. Marshall Townsend, Mrs. C..

and Mrs. w. V. Grier. These ladies'.

were largely responsible for the
success of the affair. The attend
ance was large. with a number of
guests from nearby communities.
Those present were favorably I'M
pressed by the manner in which the
entire affair was conducted. The
chief diversion of the evening was
dancing and the girls in their eve
ming gowns, and the boys in white
fiannels and blue coats, made a
beautiful scene as they danced to
the strains of music played by Ike
Blackiston's orchestra.
AS each school year draws to a
close it is very fitting that the out

with their schoolmates their final
achievement. Milford High School
