Chorines. Co-Eds Make
Best Wives, Savant Saws

Cambridge, Mass.-A way to a
mans heart is through his stom-
ach. Or is it?
DIR. Henry Odbert, Harvard re-
search fellow, as a result of his
recent tests at the university psy-
Geological laboratories, believes
that college girls and chorines are
those best suited for marriage.
The perfect coordination, Doc
tor Odbert revealed, that is neces-
sary in the successful chorus type
is responsible for better taste, more
originality and more emotional
stability than in those whose mus
cles move slowly, he explained.
Girls of high academic standings,
according to the experiments-the
college honor student type-exceed
in originality and emotional inten-
sity the girls whose academic rat
ings are not up to standard.
Doctor Odbert also found In his
tests that girls who rate high in
muscular speed or intellectual ca
pacity make the best dressers.
Reading Of poetry aloud, making
designs. manufacture, scribDles,
composing business letters, arrang-
Ing pictures according to their likes
and dislikes were some of the tests
given by Doctor Odbert.
A question he forgot to find out
about was. Can they cook?"

age in the state to representatives

is handling the details of the large

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Look Where You Back and
Back Where You LOOk"
Is Advice Given
MOTORISTS IN TROUBLE

The Delaware Safety Council re-
quests motorists to be sure that
the way is clear before driving in
reverse. Look where you back
and back where you look. This is
especially necessary when backing
out Of an alley or driveway. Chill
dren are frequent victims in back
ing out of home garages. The lit
tie tots on their shooters or roller
skates may not know your plans.
In the excitement of play they for
get about caution. Youthful pc
destrians, however, are not the
only victims. Many motorists, too,
fail to notice that the car ahead is
backing. Sometime ago a truck
drivers helper, whose duties in
cluded watching the rear when
backing, was himself caught and
crushed when his driver backed
into a loading station. And, of
course, there are a great many
cases where drivers misjudge dis
tance in turning on narrow roads.
Many parking accidents are caused
when the car is in reverse, also. In
backing out of blind alley, make
it a rule to stop just before going
over the sidewalk and then sound
your horn. Remember, one can
back into trouble much easier than
he can back out of it. When in
volved in a motor vehicle accident,
first render whatever first aid you
can; then get the facts. Just re-
member that the less time spent in
argument the more time there will
be for help and investigation. A
burst of temper is never conducive
to calm appraisal of facts. Make
it point to jot down the following
items: (1) Name. sex and address
of all persons involved. (2) Names
and addresses of all witnesses. (3)
License numbers of autos involved.
(4) Exact location, date and time.
(5) Weather and road conditions.
(6) Extent of injury and property
damage. CD Make a rough dia-
gram showing position of cars. 1t
is serious offense, punishable by
laws of all states, to run away af-
ter injuring a person. Take the in
jured to the nearest Doctors Office
or hospital and then report at once
to the police.

I1OOTH YEAR OF
DELAWARE r. r.
And S5th Year Of COmpany's
Existence Being Cele-
brated This Year
A. ]. COUNTY GIVES TALK

The Delaware Railroad Company
will this year observe the Tooth an
Iniversary of the granting of the
company's charter by the Delaware
Legislature. 1t is also the 85th
year of the company's active exist
ence. At the recent annual meet
ing of the company, A. ]. County
of Philadelphia, president, deliver
ed an address in which he outlined
some of the history of the COM
pany's saying in part: "On June 20,
1886, special Act of the Delaware
Legislature, charter was granted
to the Delaware Railroad Company
to build railroad from a connec-
tion with the Wilmington and Sus-
Frenchtown Railroad, to the south
ern line of the State in direction of
Cape Charles or the southern part
of the peninsula via Millsborough,
Dagsborough, or with power to
construct projection to Lewes, to
Seaford and to other points within
the State. 1t was not until 1852
that a sufficient amount Of capital
was raised to begin construction
work on the project and the first
part of the line between Porter and
Seaford was opened on December
.11.1S56. At the time of the first
annual meeting of the Delaware
Railroad, Millard Fillmore was
president of the United States and
there We're 81 States in the Union.
Since 1856 the Delaware Railroad
has been serving the public and has
advanced the welfare of the cit
liens and the State. The country
has been developed and populated
through railroad service" Mr..
County also pays a fine tribute to
the men who founded the Delaware
Railroad Company and carried on
the work in the early days of its
career. John Biggs, Of Whining
ton, while commenting on the in
teresting address of President
County, pointed to the fact That
the State has never lost a dollar
because of the railroads" He
commented on the liberal action
shown by the State to the railroads
and cited that although numerous
measures covering the subject have
been introduced in the Legislature,
this State has never yet adopted a
public utility commission and has
permitted the railroads freedom of
action to spend their money for
improved service rather than in
fees to a utility commission.
