THE FOLLOWING CAR

One frequent cause of automobile
accidents is the habit of many driv-
ers of following too closely the car
ahead of them which they desire to
pass. Impatient young drivers are
frequently guilty of this fault. and
often they bump into the car ahead,
when the forward car stops little
suddenly. They defend themselves
on the theory that the driver ahead
should not have halted so suddenly,
or should have given adequate sig
nal of his intentions. But things
happen quickly in driving a car, and
the most careful driver will some
times have to make a sudden stop,
with scarcely time to signal fol-
lowing car
The habit of too close following
is due largely to the drivers intense
desire to get ahead. On cuTving
road he should wait his chance. but
in his eagerness to pass, he follows
as closely as he dares, too closely
for safety.
When a line of several cars as
sembles behind slow car, many
drivers have the feeling that if they
do not keep we'll up to the car ahead,
some driver behind them will nose
in ahead of them. and force them
to fall back and lose position in the
line.
This habit of nosing in between |
cars is one of the most impudent |
and dangerous tricks. Some drivers !
try to pass two cars at once, and |
finding they can't quite pass the |
second. they try to force themselves |
in between the first and second cars,
and blum their way into that po-
sition by making the driver of the
first car feel that there may be an
accident if he does not let the pass
ing driver thus nose his way in.
A little more patience. willing
ness to wait favorable chances for
passing, disposition to hold the
right of way if disagreeable drivers
insist on grabbing it, may take con-
siderable self-control. But it avoids
accidents. and permits an operator
to maintain a clean record year af-
ter year.

was accomplished by stopping the

If such results can be attained in
a once fever haunted location, 1t
should be possible to remove many
causes of disease that create havoc
in our population, and destroy the
efficiency of the people.

TWENTY YEARS AFTER

The world is passing through a
fateful period of anniversaries. On
June 2Sth. 1914. the assassination Of
the Archduke of Austria created the
feverish excitement that a month
later broke out in the worlds most
dreadful war.
Austria declared war against Ser
via, on July 2Sth, 1914. Germany
declared war on France, August Srd,
and Great Britain declared war
against Germany on August 4th, And
so the CHASTITY story Of fate went on.
until over so war declarations had
been issued by the nations against
each other.

Washington Snapshots

Closest friends of President Roos-

cation has afforded him little relax

tion in San Francisco has been ra-
diced to him by his official family
at frequent intervals, and at one
time they were doubtful whether he
would continue his trip to Hawaii

back to the disturbed Pacific Coast
area.

IT WOULD SEEM that the time
is now ripe for real healing of the
wounds made in former scraps
within the Republican party in Del
aware. Reports from Wilmington
and rural New Castle County are
to the effect that much headway has
been made in this respect. Predic-
tion is freely made that the usual
large Republican majOrities may be
expected from that portion OF the
State. From the lower counties re-
ports are conflicting. with Repub-
licans of all factions expressing
desire ito get together The de-
sire certainly seems to be wide
spread on the part of party MEM
bers and workers. 1t needs only
action on the part of those i'll each
faction who are qualified to speak
with authority to bring lasting har-
mony into the ranks. Insofar as
Sussex County is concerned such ac-
ton is imperative and now is the
time for conference among the
leadership of the Party. and we be-
lieve that an agreement can be
reached which will insure an over
whelming majority for the Repub-
lican Party in this county. The Re-
publican party should not he one
OF factions and if ever the time was
ripe to wipe out these factional lines
it is now. A little spirit of give
and take" will do much to harmon
ize things among the Republican
ranks especially in Sussex. with a |
resultant victory right down the
line in November.

DELAWARE AUTOMOBILE own
ers are now i'm the midst of the an
nual inspection period during which
time they must present their cars
for a careful check-up on the part
of qualified crews who have been
diligently instructed in the proper
adjustment of automobiles. The in
spectors are thorough and no ia
voritism is shown when cars are pre-
sented for inspection. This was
very definitely demonstrated when
one of the automobiles owned by
Governor Buck was turned down by
the Kent County crew at Dover this
week. So carefully did the inspec-
tors check the car owned by the
Governor, that it had to be taken
several times through the lane be-
fore final approval was granted.
State officials generally are more
than pleased that the work is being
thoroughly done and the fact that

riedly put through the inspection |
line is more than pleasing to all |
concerned. The inspection crew
from Kent County will do the work |

prevented professional prize
fights. The House measure, how
ever, would set up a boxing COM

as well as amateur boxing.

Although the foreigner had
been nominated for the mile and
three-SixteenthS Dixie Handicap.
to be decided May 5 at Pimlico,
Trainer Mike Poison, who re.
Gently arrived from Sydney, Aus.
tralia, said that since the past
winter was so severe Win
ooka was behind in his training,
and that to hurry the horse
would be Of no use.
He said that he did not ex-
pect to start Winooka at
Churchill Downs, but that if all
goes well the colt would be near
his best about the end Of May.
Rounding to Form
Mr.. Poison said that Winooka,
together with Trevallion, seemed
to thrive on the blue grass that
abounds at Audley Farms, and
now that he is thoroughly accl.
mated, he believes that his
charge will beat any American
horse pitted against him this
summer and fall.
Ideal racing weather prevailed
here today, although it was some.
what chilly. The track was light
ming fast. and good time was ex-
pected in all events.
The feature event on the pro-
gram, the Glen ,Burnie Purse,
brings together six sturdy cam.
paigners, each with a fighting
chance, although George c. Win.
frey's Stone Martin, the 6-year-
old brown gelding by Hourless

four out of his last five starts,
will probably be selected by the
fans as the favorite.

John c. Clark's Haggerson,
who has won six races and fin
ished second six times this year,

finished second behind One
