Accidents In Delaware

into insensibility about 9 a. m. Smith
and Hoeger were blue with cold.
While the Coast Guard craft car
ried the men to the base, DIR.
Hughes worked over them. He said
all would recover.
The three men left at D. m. Sum-
day in a rented boat from Wildwood
Villas, shore community.
Bay waters washed far inland past
the town at the high tide hours and
residents in the low sections of
Bowers Beach took refuge in the
general store of John S. Scott at
the northernmost end of the town
where the land is higher
In some of the homes the water
had come up to the ground floor,
but no damage was reported.
Slaughter Beach Battered
Slaughter Beach. a bay resort
about nine miles from Milford, also
took a severe battering from waves
that washed in under the board
walk and broke the beach at the
southern end, flooding into the low
backlands.
Though waves pounded Bowers
Beach and Bethany Beach. little
damage was reported. Twelve miles
inland behind Rehoboth Beach, the
Broadkiln Creek rose up above the
drawbridge. stopping automobiles
about two hours.
Many Trees Down
Transportation suffered most on
the highways where truck and auto
and bus traffic was slowed down by
difficult driving conditions. A south
bound train on the Delmarva Divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania Railroad
was delayed two hours while a
wrecking crew from Delmar cleared
eight large trees off the tracks in
the Glendale Swamp.
Although the Mispillion River at
Milford rose steadily all day Mon
day, it at no time reached the dan
ger point. A few of the storm sew
ers in Milford overflowed but not
enough to retard traffic. Many home
owners reported leaks and flooded
cellars. The high winds, however,
did little damage in the vicinity
around Milford.

Onions Lower

Onions Lower
Prices of old onions weakened
slightly further in response to con-
siderably lower prices for southern
receipts. Northern stock was in
moderate supply and light demand
at jobbing price range Of 75c to
! $1.15 per so pounds. The price was
weak at soc in western New York
producing sections. Texas onions
were down about 10c in producing
sections. and sold lower In northern
cities at S1.35 to $1.75. A Few csn-
tracts for north Texas onions for
June delivery were reported at 81
per 50-pound sack. Quality of early
arrivals has been irregular and
mostly ordinary, but later shipments
are showing better grade. About
$50 cars OF cold storage stock are re-
ported held in western New York,
but remaining supplies in common
storage are believed to be light.
Northern carrots are in light de-
mand and only few carloads are
moving. Supplies in cold storage
are still fairly liberal for the time
of year. Prices of lettuce show many
declines of csc on western and south
ern stock in eastern markets. Spin
ach markets continue wear at 40 to
so cents per bushel for Virginia
stock. Virginia spinach is now main
source of supply for eastern markets.
Apples Fairly Steady
Storage holdings of apples are be-
ing reduced to rather light proper
tiOns and the market seems likely to
continue its firm position. Prices
showed only small changes and pre-
vious advances have been quite well
maintained on fruit in good condi-
tion.
Supplies of Baldwin and Mcintosh
appear to be fairly liberal in west
ern New York. and recent sales |
range mostly $1.65 to So bushel. |
Majority of jobbing sales in city |
markets are between s1.75 and $2.25 |
ON standard eastern and southern |
varieties. The northwestern box
pack showed some small price ad-
vances.
Quality OF strawberry arrivals
shows improvement with the prog
ress of the season, but shipments
more than doubled the second week
Of April and have continued active
since the middle OF the month as
the market shifts from Florida to
Louisiana and other states. The
market is weak at IL to Is cents,
pint basis, in northern cities and
iown 80 cents per crate at Louisiana
points.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Supplies of fruits and vegetables
are fairly liberal. Most of the old
crops, except potatoes, are nearly
done, but receipts of many early veg
etables are increasing. Some mar
kets are receiving nearby green
stuff, including spinach, kale. green
onions. rhubarb. radishes and hot
bed lettuce, causing local declines
for-t these prodncts. Citrus fruit re-
ceipts continue fairly liberal and

Carlot shipments of produce con-
tinue between $4,000 and 10000 per
week. according to the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, about the
same volume as a year ago. Ship
ment features were the rapid in
crease of southern potatoes. straw
berries and tomatoes, and sharp de-
creases for sweet potatoes, celery |
beets, and caulifiower.
Potato Market Weak
Eastern markets report moderate
supplies of old stock, slow demand, I
and continued downward trend in
prices of old crop potatoes. In

slippery floors with skidding rugs. A
child's building block or toy engine
seems an innocent thing, but toys or
other small articles left on the floor
or stairs where one may stumble
over them, often cause serious in
juries. About one-third of all home
falls occur on stairs or steps.
You can prevent painful and per-
haps fatal falls In your own home
by taking the following simple pre-
cautions:
/. Do not stand on chairs, boxes
or window siIls to reach high places.
Use only strong and carefully plac-
ed stepladders.
2. Provide good lighting on stairs
and in halls, and keep toys and
other small objects Off stairs and
floors.
3. Place handholds on the wall
above the bathtub or put rubber
mat on the bottom of the tub. Keep
the soap in the soapholder; II you
lay It in the tub, you may step on 1t
and slip.
4. Do not leave articles lying in
any place where people might trip
or fall over them.
While elderly persons have more
than their share of falls. the little
children are the ones who suffer
most frequently from burns and
scalds. Twenty-eight hundred chill
dren under years Of age die in the
United States each year as a result
of burns that occur, for the most
part, In the home.
Time and again the newspapers
tell of little children who are burned
while playing with matches or play
ing near a stove. or of adults who
are seriously burned while using
gasoline or other inflammable liq-
uids near a fire. The saddest feature

of these accidents is that they are
always due to some ones careless
ness.
To make your family safe from
burns and scalds:
/. Keep matches In a metal box
beyond the reach of the smaller
children.
2. Keep kettles and pans of hot
liquids at the back Of the stove.
3. Keep gasoline and kerosene COW
cred and out of easy reach. Dry
cleaning with gasoline or benzine
should always be done out of doors.
4. Keep open lights and crate fires
protected.
5. Teach children the danger Of
playing
(a) Near a stove or fireplace.
(b) With fire, lights, or matches.
(c) Near bonfires.
No electric wall outlet, socket or
switch should be located near any
plumbing fixture. The body makes
perfect circuit in case of short or
defect In the outlet or switch. No
brass she'll sockets should be allow
ed in the basement or in damp
places.
Every woman using an electric
washing machine or other electric
appliance in the basement should
wear rubbers to prevent possible
shock.
Sharp knives and cracked china
ware in the dishpan have probably
become the greatest factor in caus-
ing accidents which produce cuts in
the home.
No story of home accidents would
be complete without mentioning
strains and sprains. If any women
goes out of her class as a weight
litter to move heavy davenport,

reminded of her limitations for some
