TWO KILLED I'M AUTO
MlSHAPS in LOWER DEL.
Nan Found Near LeWes Believed To
Be Victim Of Hit-And-Run Driver
NEGRO KILLED AT sEAFORD

Two fatalities occurred on Della
ware highways over the weekend,
one near Lewes and the other near
Seaford.
Believed to have been the victim
Of a hit-and-run driver. Frank Der
rickson, about 80 years old, was
found dead about $50 o'clock last
Sunday night on the state highway
near the Yellow Hill School house
about two-and-a-half ms from
Lewes. His skull had been frac-
tured and there were numerous cuts
and bruises about the body.
Ernest Ratledge, accompanied by
Frank Thorpe and Bradford Webb,
also Of Lewes, was driving toward
Lewes when they saw the man
sprawled across the highway. They
hurried the body to the Beebe Hos
pital at Lewes. Doctors pronounced
Derrickson dead and said the frac-
tured skull had been the cause.
John Millman, Lewes policeman
said about three weeks ago Derrick
son was found lying in the highway
by a party of motorists who, after
examining him and deciding he was
uninjured, lifted him to one side and
left him there.
Derrickson is survived by a daugh-
ter, Margery, his wife and his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Derrick
son.

one who thinks that one group Of
people can profit IN the long run at

again.
Farmers are consumers themsel-

country. They must buy a large pro,
portion Of the articles workers pro-

This Is simply one more example
OF the way large distributing groups
are now cooperating with producers
cooperation that affects the far
mers Of every state, and the growers
OF almost every kind Of crop or live
stock.
To the short-sighted, il may seem
that when the chains work with pro-
dueers to keep prices from collaps-
ing, the interest Of the consumer is
not served. In other words, II chains
and other big retailers refused their

our factories must close. When the
farmer gets a fair and profitable
price for what Sc sells, and retailing
efficiency passes his products on TO
the ultimate user at the lowest pos
sible in-hetween cost, q sound bal
ance Is attained.
So, when big retailers help the
farmer. they help us all in a dozen
different ways.

VERSATILE FARl1ERs CHANGE
MACHINES no FIT TERRACES

Changes to adapt farm machinery
to terraced fields and hillsides have
been made by farmers in all parts
Of the country, but particularly In
the western, middle western, and
] northern states, according to surveys
! by Soil Conservation Service engi-
neers.
Among changes made are these:
A Kansas farmer reassembIed the
disks on his grain drill in pairs, so
that it leaves the soil in a series Of
ridges and burrows.
A farmer in Missouri shortened
the truck on his grain binder and
crosses terraces more easily.
Some Idaho farmers remove mold
boards from their plows. Flowing
then stirs the soil, but does not turn
it over. and leaves much Of the stub
BILE exposed as a guard against wind
and water erosion. Another method
is to replace a pillow with a chisel
point forged from the front axle of
a motor car.
Beams on a tractor cultivator
were attached to the frame with an |
evener which allowed the shovels to |
adjust themselves on terraced land.
A Texas farmer removed the pres
sure springs from the center Of his
disk harrow to allow more 1exibil-
ity when workin gterraeed ridges.
More equipment changes are need
ed, a task for farm implement COM
panies, says the report. Some Of the
present machines are ont sufficiently
flexible for terraced land. They do
not adjust themselves to uneven
ground, wide units do not operate
well in terrace channels, and those.
with long bitches give trouble in
crossing terraces at right angles.
Depth and height regulating devices
need a greater range of adjustment.

"And, Timothy" said Mrs. Callan plead
ingly, Il wish We would let me pawn TIL ring
until we get on yer legs once more an tn
money starts comm in.
moi" shouted Mr.. Callan. Ten times
have told ye no. Be DANCED if tn Callans have
come t. that yet. Get out of here an let me
hear no more of it!''
He began to curse, and Mrs. Callan backed
out of the room. She was sure now that Tim
would never consent to the pawning of the
ring, but she had made up her mind to pawn
it. In her purse she had two twists of white
tissue paper, in one the diamond from the ring
and in the other the ring itself. Engraved with
Tins name and her own, the ring must not

that if Tim became suspicious she might buy
fake stone.
To Officer Murphy and Detective Null
cahey she said. GO on up. Tim is after wait
in for ye," and left them to find their way.
Officer Murphy was large man. too big for
his uniform, and red-faced, but Detective
Mulcahey was even smaller than Mr.. Callan.
He was in plain clothes and his permanent ex-
preston was one of mild detection.
And how are ye feelin' today, Callan?"
Officer Murphy doomed.
'Im feelin' like all tn cops in tn world was
lot of lazy bums," said Mr.. Callan bitterly.

"SAINTS ABOVEl"

- Id Tim Callan, with his broken leg
in cast, lay in bed where he could
look out upon his chickens scratch
~ ing in the back yard. Two weeks of
lying there had put him in vile temper. The
only comfort he got was from watching
the chickens.
The chickens - two that were no longer
there to watch - had been the cause of Mr..
Callan's broken leg. Two weeks before, in the
middle of the night, Mr.. Callan had heard
commotion in his chicken house. He would
have dropped from the window safely enough
if he had not forgotten the rain barrel but
when he untangled himself from it he could
not stand and the chicken thief was only
dark shadow streaking across the Schmidts'
yard next door. Two of Mr.. Callan's beloved
chickens went with the thief.
As MIR. Callan watched the chickens, the
door of his room opened and his wife came in.
She was a big woman and she wore her hat
and had shawl around her shoulders.
Tin" sne said hesitantly
"An' what is it now?" demanded Mr.. Cal
Ian, turning to glare at her.
I'm goin' out t. do bit of marketin'."
said Mrs. Callan. 'And Murphy an Null
cahey are down below. Would ye be seein'
them whilst I'm out, timothy"

so what have we t work on?" asked Mul-
cahey. "If it was diamonds, now, we'd have a
chance: we would be watchin' tn pawnshops,
and sooner or late -"
But who tn devil pawns chickens?" de-
manded Murphy.
$50 ho!" cried Mr.. Calan, getting red in
the face. 80 that's how it is. Th' rich has
diamonds and gets help, but tn poor has
chickens an t tn devil with them. Do have
t. have diamonds t. get thief caught,
Murphy?"
Were only tellin' ye, Callan.' said Muir
ply. 'Tis none of our don', it's tn way it
is"
GO away from me!'' cried MIR. Callan
Get out of here an let me take nap And if
ye pass through tn boodwar on tn way out,
take care not to knock tn diamond tiaras off
tn esuitwar."
"Bein' funny. amt you?" said Murphy.
Mrs. Callan hurried out of the house and
onto the street. At the Schmidts' house next
door she rang the bell but as there was no
answer. she went around the house to the
back and there she found the plump Mrs.
Schmidt hanging clothes on the line.
"Ach! If it amt Missus Callan -" Mrs.
Schmidt began.
"Shush!" warned Mrs. Callan. ''Th' window
is up in Tins room an I'm not wantin' him
t. hear. I'm after aslsin' ye t do favor for
me, Missus Schmidt"
Sure" agreed Mrs. Schmidt. "What can
do for you do it. And look once how your
schickens knows you; right away. they come
thinkin' you maybe feed them, yes?"
From the Callan yard dozen of Mr.. Cal
lan's chickens came running with wings out
spread to gather around Mrs. Callan hope
fully. But Mrs Callan paid no attention to
the chickens. She opened her purse and took
from it one of the small twists of tissue paper.

KING, ELIOT STUDY
PRIVATE PENSIONS
Confer on Means to EXEMPT
Systems After Federal
Plan Is in Force.

Still hopeful Of finding a way 70
preserve private pension systems after
tn, Federal old-ag' annuity plan gees
into effect r ext year Chairman King
of the joint congressional committee
handling the problem, conferred today
with Thomas H. Eliot, chief counsel OF
the Social Security Board. Eliot is
one of a group of experts called into
consultation by the committee.
Senator King said he will call an
other meeting of the Joint committee
next week after the experts have OBJ
tanned some additional information
from insurance companies and indus
tries.
The Federal old-age annuity fea-
ture Of the social security program
calls for a tax from employees and
employers, starting next year. to meet
the cost Of pensioning workers when
they reach the age of IS.
Many industries already are operat-
ing their own retirement systems,
equal to or more beneficial than the
proposed FEDERAL system, and the
problem assigned to the joint COM
mittee is to try to draft an amend
ment to the law that would exempt
such industries from the Federal tax
as long as they retain their private
plans.

VETERANS RELIEF
DECISION AWAITED
W. P. A. Preparing Ruling
on Ending Assistance for
Bonus Recipients.

Question Of removing bonus-receiv-
ing veterans from relief rolls and
w. p. A. Jobs after June - was raised
today. Works Progress headquarters
announced that a ruling Is being
drafted to solve the problem.
While the District Public Assistance
Division adopted the policy last year
that q bonus would not be considered
income rendering ineligible q District
relief client for continuation on the
dole, no stand has been taken since
the issue was actually raised yesterday.
Elwood Street, director OF public
welfare, however, indicated the vet
Grams would be dropped.
1T hasn't been discussed yet" he
said, but people who have monty
don't need relief"
Average Payment S57o.
While the bonus payment to each
veteran will average about $50.
equivalent to a years relief receipt,
these objections to striking the veteran
from the relief clientele were cited by
q high official:
Ten per cent of the w. P. A. en-
ployes need not come from relief rolls,
and no ruling has ever been made On
whether possession of moderate
amount of money makes them ineligi-
BILE for further w. P. A. work.
The bonus bonds can be kept until
1945 with per cent interest annually,
and forcing veterans of relief and w.
P. A. because of receipt Of the bonds
would cause loss of interest by forcing
immediate cashing Of the bonds.
The President has expressly urged
keeping the bonds intact until their
maturity date. Taking veterans of
relief rolls would make impossible
compliance with the Presidents wish.
ID. C. Figures Unavailable.
Neither the w. P. A. nor the Vet
erans' Administration. it was empha-
sized, have any figures showing how
many veterans are on relief. Figures
for the District are unavailable.
In some quarters, 1t was recalled
that those receiving temporary en-
ployment are permitted to return to
their W. p A. jobs when private en-
ployment is ended 1t was expected,
therefore, that those veterans dropped
would be returned after bonus pay
ments we're spent.
Harry L. Hopkins said recently pay
ment of the bonus obviously would
tighten the relief rolls, but declined to
estimate how great the reduction
would be.

less and at that rate l can make out

When do we get the money!" This
question was asked by several veterans
in the line. Officials explained pa

wait until June Is. This apparently
was no encouragement. They were
all happy at the prospect Of getting all
