LUCKLESS WALKERS ALONG
 HIGHWAYS
(New Britain Herald)

NNcW bTltulu f1eFaIu)
 The years statistics have 1t that more than 36,000 people were killed by automobiles. But not anything like this number wore fatally hurt as result of coll- sions. An astonishing portion of the total were pedestrians. Walk ing on the highway is more dan- gerous than riding.
 Consider the plight of q man footing 1t along a road in the night time. He sees a car ap- preaching and ruminates that as the headlight is strong he will be easily seen by the driver. From the opposite direction comes car with an equally strong headlight. so that the pedestrian concludes he should be twice as easily dis cerned by the drivers. The truth, however, Is that neither driver, because of the g1afe of the others headlights, can see the pedestrian, until perhaps too late 10 save his life. i
 This is not an unusual hypothe- tical instance. In thousands of cases pedestrians are killed Ee-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January A glitter
ing array of 1885 motor cars, show
ing little radical change in design,
but with a general trend toward in
creased riding comfort. will be pre-
sented to the motoring public tomor-
row at the thirty-fifth annual New
York automobile show
The show is presented this year
for the first time by the dealers in
stead of the manufacturers. It also
marks the first time in quarter GEN.
tury that Henry Ford has displayed
with other producers.
Riding Ease Stressed.
The stress on riding ease has been
manifested in reflnements of inde-
pendent front wheel mountings-last
years knee e-action"-body lengthen-
ing, front axle and spring changes to
center the car weight and moving
toward center the rear seat from its
bumpy position over the rear wheels.
Almost all of the 1885 models still
present a new form of springs and
many models have showed forward
both rear and front springs together
with the load center.
The popular front seat-in which
three was always a crowd-has been
generally widened to correspond with
rear seat comfort. leg room increased,
gear shifts moved or improved for
more knee room and engine refine
ments incorporated for fuel economy
and stepping up speed without in
creasing engine revolution.
Radiator Grill Higher.
Outwardly, the most noticeable
change in the restyling of many
models lies in narrow and higher
radiator grill. In this connection one
model has developed definite nose"
in place of the slanting fore panel

ry boat is So feet long and nine feet
wide and holds two ordinary auto
mobiles comfortably. The ferry slides
into rough slips on each side and
operates from sunrise to sunset. No
charge is made. Should the engine
not be operating, long poles with

The ferry reached it's greatest per-

vision of Isaac and Jacob Cannon, sons
of the original lessees. They grew
very wealthy and although they were
not in any way related to the infam-

embroiled with the retainers of that
family.
Jacob Cannon was shot and killed
on his wedding day, April 10, 1913

$4,000 VERDICT is
AWARDED FOR DEATH

A verdict awarding $4,000 dam
ages to the plaintiff was handed down
last week by Worcester County Cir
cult Court jury in Snow Hill, in a
suit for damages as the result of an
accident causing the death of Henry
B. Bolger, Jr., Of Charleston, S. o.,
on September 26, 1884.
Olga S. Bolger, widow of Henry
Bolger and Mary E. Bolger. eight year
old daughter, were the plaintiffs in
the case. The defendants were Ionic
Slacum of Cambridge, and Archie S.
Burton, of New Church, Va.
According to a report on the. ac-
cident made by Patrolman Parker, OF
the State Police, Bolger was driving
northward in a car, trailing a truck
trailer hauling IA foot poles, owned
by Burton, and operated by Joseph
L. Holder, negro. They were meet
ing a southbound truck, owned by
Slacum and operated by Clifford Fitz-
gerald, of Salisbury. AS the poles
swung around the curve, they struck
the southbound truck, and the three
vehicles piled up.
Although owners of both trucks
were. co-defendants, the verdict was
handed down against Slacum only.
Trial of the case started Friday
morning at $3.50 o'clock, and continued
throughout the day and evening, go
ing to the jury at quarter of one
in the morning. The jury was out
only 45 minutes before returning their

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
PROTECTION is AFFORDED
FOR ANCESTRAL GRAVES

Added protection for the bodies
of the ancestors of the DENNIS FAM
lily, long prominent in Maryland and
Somerset County, has been afforded
by the erection of a five foot orna-
mental brick wall surrounding the
burrying ground, and the placing OF
a heavy layer of concrete over the
entire lot, it was learned this week.
Situated on the spacious lawn OF
Beverley" one of the Shores Oldest
and best preserved Colonial struc-
lures, a few miles south of Pocomoke
on the banks of the Potomac River,
the Dennis burial plot holds the last
remains of some of the Shores most
distinguished sons. In this plot are
the remains of the builder of the
Mansion-Littleton Dennis, who died
in 1774.
Beverley" is now the property OF
the Dennis heirs, of whom Judge
Samuel K. Dennis of Baltimore, is
one. The property has never left the
hands of the family since the original
grant back in the early zoos, and is
one of the most historic spots on the
Shore.
The old mansion, constructed OF
red handmade English brick, is in
a fine state of repair, although for
years no one but the caretaker has re-
sided in the ancient home.
The wall recently constructed, en-
closed the burial plot, which is ap-
proximately 40 by 40 feet. A solid
steel gate bars the curious, prevents
wandering animals from disturbing
the last resting place of the Dennis
clan. 10000 bricks were required to
build the fence which surrounds the
cemetery.

FERRY STARTED IN 1893
STILL IN USE IN DELAWARE

The announcement that State ferry
system is being operated in Delaware
made in almost any group OF people
would probably arouse expression OF
incredulity and words of denial yet the
State does have ferry system despite
the fact that it consists of only one
ferry boat. It operates continuously
across the Nanticoke River, conveying
pedestrians, horse drawn vehicles and
automobiles.
Not only does the State through its
Highway Department, according to
w. w. Mack, chief engineer, own this
particular ferry but it also maintains
a ferryman and owns the house where
he lives with an acre and half of
land where he can grow vegetables.
Woodland, in Sussex county on the
Nanticoke River a few miles below
Seaford, is the present name of the
ferry but the older name was Cannon's
Ferry which figures prominently in the
book "The Entailed Hat" written by
the late George Alfred Townsend who
used the pen name of Gath and who
made the name and exploits of Patty
Cannon famous.

This was the old method Of trans
portation but some time ago an auto
mobile engine was placed on the side
in a rough engine house. Located out
of the way as it is, there is, however,
considerable traffic. With a record
kept each day, the figures show an
average of vehicles crossing of more
than 80 day throughout the year.
In the month Of September 1882 We
hicles passed across on the ferry with
90 in the highest day. This does not
take any account of the pedestrians
who are brought over by small skiff,
padded by the ferryman.
Although no charge is at present
made to any one, the law creating the
ferry sets forth that only citizens of
Delaware are carried free and that
people from other states shall be char
ged whatever was seen fit for their
travel over the river.

The Districts Refuse Material.

A movement is on foot among the
business men of Southeast Washing
ton to secure an appropriation from
Congress to effect the operation of the
District incinerator in that section so
as to permit the disposal of trash from
business establishments. At present
neither of the two incinerators, built
some years ago at large cost for the
disposal of District refuse, is available
for this purpose as respects waste
material from business houses, hotels
and the larger apartment buildings.
Some of these establishments destroy
their own refuse. The majority of
them, lacking such facilities, have
been compelled to have their waste
material hauled away for disposal out
side of the District. This is the refuse
that has gone into Virginia for burning.
This is the cause, in the main, of the
nuisances maintained on the outskirts
of the city in another jurisdiction,
against which the people of Arlington
county have lately moved to secure
the enforcement of a county ordi-
nance prohibiting the maintenance of
these dumps.

own refuse. 1t has the plants and it
should have the means for their oper-
alton to inset all demands. There
