SOIL BUILDING
PLAN IN STATE.
Fruit Growers and Truck
Farmers Will Be Eligible
Under Plan
TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS

Fruit growers in Delaware will
be eligible to receive payments for
soil-building and soil-conserving
payments under the new Agricul-
tural Conservation program as
will truck farmers and vegetable
growers who follow approved
according to r. o. Stel-
ger, extension economist at the
University of Delaware, who is in
charge of the educational phases
of the program in the State. Land
that has been in vegetable crops
will be counted in the acreage used
in determining the soil-building al
lowance if it is planted to winter
cover crops and green-manure
crops, provided such crops are
turned under as green-manure be-
tween January 1895 and Octo-
Der 1, 1886. The cover crops and
green-manure crops, however, must
have been growing at least two
l4lOAbAlS OCAOlC bCluS I0iACG O4A0OAs :
Land devoted to vineyards, orch
ards, small fruits, and nut trees is
also included as cropland under
the provisions of the program. If
such land is clean cultivated it is
classified as neutral land but if it
was used in 1885 to produce an in
terplanted soil-depleting crop, the
actual acreage so used is classified
as soil-depleting land and if it was
with soil-conserving
crops the actual acreage so used Is
classified as soil-conserving land.
The truck farmers who used win
ter cover crops and green-manure
crops will be able to increase their
soil-building allowance which de-
termines the maximum of the
of the Glass II pay
ments for which they can qualify,
Stelzer pointed out. The number
of dollars for soil-building pay
ments cannot exceed the number
of acres in soil-conserving crops,
the winter cover and
green-manure crops on the farm in
1886.

CHEVROLET LUBRICATION
Gives Some Valuable Suggestions
to Motorists of Nation

Heartily endorsing the Lubricate
for Safety Week being held be-
tween May 23rd to Both. the Sun
Oil Company's local district man
ager has suggested this splendid
move be followed up by months
safety drive for safer driving.
while adequate fabrication plays
a much greater part in safety than
many of us realize" he said yes
terday, "the fact remains that
fundamental safety still lies with
the brains behind the wheel. 1t is
true that a properly fabricated car
prevents excessive driver fatigue
and consequently prevents acci-
dents arising from human failure
by assuring prompt, easy and COM
plete functioning of all working
parts of the car-but still the ma
jor responsibility rests with the
driver. But let's see what luori-
cation has to do with safety: For
instance, take universal joints.
Lack of fabrication may be re-
sponsible for failure of front uni
versal joints which may permit the
drive shaft to fall to the road
while the car is in motion. thus
causing a serious accident. Or
faulty brake fabrication may cause
all braking effect to be applied to
one wheel with little effect on the
car, but a major effect in starting
a skid. And too, it is vitally i'm
portant to always remember the
necessity for a lively, quick on the
trigger motor fuel like Blue Sun
oco which will snap the driver
and car out of a tight spot and /
believe that the wide-awake driv-
er, plus wide-awake Blue Sunoco,
plus an adequately fabricated car,
is by far the safest man on the

The working conditions in our
Industries have been improved
greatly, but the record of 16,5OO
occupational deaths should make
rs only more vigilant of the fu-
ture.
The sancitity of the home was
violated many times by the terror
of sudden, accidental death. There
were 31,5OO fatalities in homes.
And SO on until the Reaper had
recorded to its principal assistants
the following credit of $4,000 lives:
Motor vehicle -. 36,400
other Public ..... 1880
Home .........-. oI,oOO
Occupational ..... 16,5OO
Note: The above breakdown in
clIdes a duplication of 1900 occu-
national motor vehicle deaths list
ed in both the first and fourth di-
visions.
One glimmer of brightness in
the accident picture for 1885 is the
decline in deaths of children under
Is wears from 15,4O0 in 1884 to
14,3OO in 1885. This drop in child
fatalities places them % per cent
below the 1922 total, when there
were 1856 child deaths from ac-
cidents. During this same period
accidental deaths to adults in
creased 46 per cent.
But this ray of light fades quick
ly as we turn to examine the de-
structive records of the motor We
hicle. Accidental deaths in this
field scared during the year to an
all-time high. Dead, 36,40O! Per-
manently injured, 100000. Dis
abled temporarily, 1,170,000l
Motor vehicle deaths outnumber-
ed homicides three to one. Near
ly as many people were injured in
these street and highway acci-
dents as live in the entire state of
Nebraska. Deaths were twice as
high as in 1928 and nearly so per
cent above 1927.
Careless driving, as always, was
the principal cause of most of
these deaths. Drivers still indulg-
ed in speed when they had no right
to do so. They still showed a Woe
full and deplorable disregard for
the rights of pedestrians and other
They failed to correct
faulty brakes and defective equip
ment. They cut corners short and
rode through intersections as if
the cross streets were blocked for
their special benefit. They jumped
signal lights and disobeyed traffic
ordinances. They passed other
cars while going up hills and
around turns. They kept their
driving intelligence right back in
the old horse and buggy days. A
better, more efficient automobile
has been placed in their control,
but they haven't learned how to
use it.

INSURANCE BILL PASSED

The rewritten unemployment in
surance bill came down from the
State Law Departments Baltimore
Offices Thursday night to Legisla-
ture agreed almost to man to pass
it as it stands.
While actual meetings Of the two
houses were confined only to routine
assemblies and recesses, leaders of
the Senate Finance and House Ways
and Means committees, who Wednes-
day night agreed to virtual scrapp1ng
Of the original Sobeloff measure, had
circulated about the State House and
reduced last-ditch opposition to the
rewritten bill to an irreducable min
imum.
Republican Senators, whose leader,
Governor Nice, had advocated pas
sage of the measure as drafted by
his committee and who consequently
might have been expected to show
some opposition to the death blow the
committees rendered the bill, eau
cused in the Governors Office and an
nounced there was to be no concerted
action on their part.
The Governor said that, in the in
terests of expediency, he was not at
tempting to rally the G. o. P. forces
and that as far as he was concerned,
the votes of the Republican Senators
were on their own consciences.
The Legislature early Saturday
passed the unemployment insurance
bill meeting the minimum federal
requirements and adjourned the
special session called for that pur-
pose.
The payroll taxes in the act are
just sufficient to turn into the state
treasury approximately 100000
that would have gone into the fed
eral treasury had the measure not
been enacted before Dec. 81.

ELECTORS CAST VOTES FOR
PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt was reelected
on Monday, Dec. IA. The SCI mem
bers Of the electoral college met then
in their State capitals and voted for
president and vice-president. The
Roosevelt Garner ticket polled 523
votes to eight for Landon and Knox.
1t is part of the elaborate election
procedure set UP by the constitution.
The popular balloting on Nov. 3
chose presidential electors rather
than deciding directly between
Roosevelt and Landon.
These electors-the total equals
the number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives-will send their votes to
Washington to be counted by the
House and Senate on jan. 6. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt's capture of a second
term will be official.

ABDICATION

The news from London will cause
general regret. So much had been
expected from the reign of Edward
VIII, so deeply had he endeared him
self to his people, and SO worldwide
was appreciation of his personal
problem, that abdication lays SOL
emn touch on the hearts of millions
within and without the British EN-
pire.
On the personal side, regret will b.
tempered with respect for Edwards
frankness and honesty and with graf
ltude for his quarter-century of ser
vice as Prince and King. On the Of
fetal side, there will lbe relief that if
change there must be, it promises to
be m ade smoothly and that this test
ing of the monarchy has developed
new appreciation of it as a symbol of
British unity.
The full meaning and effect of this
abdication will be discerned only as
events develop. Its sentimental i'm
pact is for the moment tremendous.
It's constitutional difficulties seem on
the way to solution. Its social mean
ings are only beginning to appear.
The first voluntary addiction ed
ward II, Richard II, and James II
were deposed) in a Thousand years OF
British history will be interpreted by
some to mean that monarchy Is out
NODDED, that the anomalies and con-
flicts of the private and personal
functions of kingship cannot be re-
conciled. Others will say that the
difficulties of government by symbol
are greater than the advantages and
that constitutional democracy does
not need king. But constitutional
commonwealth, such assumptions
may prove hasty. The remarkable
adaptations of the British system in
the past would indicate that they will
be continued.
Clearly social changes have affect
ed monarchy. The double life posi-
BILE to kings in the past is rendered
obsolete today both by an improved
moral sense and by greater facilities
for knowledge and participation in
government by the people. Perhaps
present trials will awaken also a
keener appreciation of the need for
loyalty to the Office and to the ideal
more than to the man.-The Monitor.

ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS
CARD

How did the custom of sending
Christmas cards originate?
That question has been asked
many times, and in pamphlet, pub
lished by a group of famous artists,
it is answered. Way back in 1916,
Sir Henry Cole of London discovered
that the number of his friends and
acquaintance had reached such pro-
portions that it was no longer posi-
BILE for him to extend to all of them
his greetings in person. J. G. Horse
ly, famous artist of the day, solved
the problem by designing special
greeting card for Sir Henry to send
to his friends. These were the first
Christmas cards in the history of the
world.
But much water has gone over the
dam since 1916. Christmas cards,
as rule, have been machine made.
This fact greatly perturbed our most
famous artists and designers. They
decided to do something about it, so
in this year of grace. 1896, they have
drawn individual Christmas cards,
carrying out the idea inangurated by
Mr.. Horsely almost a century ago.
Now it is quite possible for you to re-
ceive OF send a Christmas card de-
signed by such famous artists as
John Taylor Arms, Peggy Bacon,
Thomas Benton, John Steuart Curry.
Adolf Dehn, Eugene Higgins, Rock
well Kent, Jose Orozco, Diego Rivera,
Grant Wood, Edward A. Wilson.
Helen Dryden, Helen Sewell, Morgan
Denis, Donald Mckay and many
others.
