culo matrimonI from the defendant,

Lillian Cooksey may resume her
maiden name of Corrie Lillian Field.
The Bill states in substance: That
the plaintiff is a citizen of the United
States, residing in Montgomery Coun-
ty, Maryland, where she has resided

liam Mayo Cooksey are unknown to

within the State of Maryland to the
best OF her knowledge; that the

plaintiff towards the defendant was
kind and affectionate, and above re-
proach, the defendant, without just
cause or reason, deserted and aban-
doned the plaintiff during the month
of May, 1928, and that such aban-
donment has continued uninter-
ruptedly for more than three years

separation of the parties is beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation; that no children have been
born of said marriage.

Under the Virginia Plan the ma

The Virginia Plan provided for
ratification of the Constitution by
the people; the New Jersey Plan for
ratification by legislative authorities.
There were other differences af-
fecting the nature and extent of
legislative authority. the federal
courts, etc.. but these summarize
what most delegates considered the
more significant ones.
Still another set of proposals was
offered in an address by Alexander
Hamilton. His suggestions included

far beyond those contemplated in

KENT BUSINESS

Addressed By DR.. ]. S. Gould
of the University of Penn
sylvania at Dover
PROJECTS DISCUSSED

The June meeting of the Kent
County Business and Professional
Women's Club was hello at the
home of Mrs. c. c. Shorb in Dover.
DR.. Joseph S. Gould, Professor of
Economics, University of Della
ware, the guest speaker, introduc-
ed the subject to be studied at fu-
ture meetings "Our Towns Busi-
ness" He stressed the point that
in the study of "our towns busi-
ness we must not lose sight of the
fact that the community is not one
dot in the circle which spreads and
widens until it forms "the COM
munity of the world" He showed
by various illustrations the reia-
tion of "our town" to all the other
countries of the world. After the
interesting and helpful discussion
by DR.. Gould, Mrs. Kathryn Trent
presided at the business meeting
which followed. The appointment
of the following committee chair
men by the Board of Directors was
announced: Education and Re-
search, Margaret H. Jeffreys; Pub
lie Relations, Ruth Hall; Program,
Ruth Jones; Membership and Mag
azine, Mrs. Adele Connor; Finance,
Eff1e Davidson; Legislation and In
ternational Relations, Margaret

new members are expected to join

1,5Oo, 900 OUT OF GASOLINE
This Huge Number, the Record
Shows, Ran Out of Gas Last Year

The number of motorists who
found themselves stalled on the
road because of empty gas tanks
increased tremendously during
1886, reaching a total of approx
mately 1900, 900, L. R. Lewis, pres
ident of Delaware Motor Club, re-
ported today. This estimate is
based on reports from thousands of
A-A.A. garages under contract in
all sections of the country to rem
der emergency road service" Mr..
Lewis said. According to these
reports, the number of drivers who
tried to squeeze one too many
miles out of the last gallon last
year was nearly half again higher
than the total in 1885.
THE surprising thing about this
record is that there are some $685.
900 retail gasoline outlets in the
nation, or approximately one for
every mile of surfaced highway in
the state systems, and every mod
ern-day car is equipped with a
gauge which shows the fuel level
at all times.
But despite these facilities, mo-
torists in increasing numbers still
subject themselves to irritating
waits along the roadside for fresh
supplies of fuel because of neglect
ing to refill the tank when sup
plies run low. Accordingly, in adj
dition to advising motorists to
make a thorough check-up of their
cars before starting their trips and
to keep in daily touch with road
conditions, it is in order to warn
travellers not to forget to take an
occasional glance at the gas gauge
and to stop at the next filling sta
tion when it runs low. Another
cause for delay is that many mo-
torists try to get too much mile
age out of old tires and continue to
drive them even after they are
worn down to the fabric. Not only
is this the cause of frequent blow
outs, but is additionally hazardous
because of the tendency of smooth
tires.to skid on wet pavements."

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Good Advice To Motorists
and Others on Care and
Caution on Highways
IN INTEREST OF SAFETY

"And the rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air, gave proof
through the night that the flag was
still there. ..." That was Amer
ica's war for independence as Wis
ualized a century and half ago
by Francis Scott Key and immor-
talized in the lines of the Star
Spangled Banner. According to the
Delaware Safety Council, the war
for independence is still being cele-
brated, but each Fourth of. July
those famous lines might be para
phrased: "And the burned and
crippled children, the blood-smear-
ed highways, and the victims of
drowning give proof through the
years that our patriotism still
lives" Yes, abundant but rather
dubious proof. The day set aside
to commemorate a significant
event in American history has be-
come a day Of excess, dominated
by the three terrible specters of
fireworks, traffic accidents and
drownings. Because of commun-
ity campaigns for a Safe and
Sane Fourth" in recent years, the
impression has been created that
heavy fireworks casualties are a
thing of the past, that the few re-
ported deaths are attributable to
gross carelessness in handling high
powered explosives rather than to
the common firecracker This is
denied by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness, which in
1885, with funds provided by the
Association of Fireworks Manufac-
turers, conducted study of such
casualties covering AZ states. This
showed that at least 7,738 persons
were injured and at least 80 per-
sons killed in celebrating the Four
tn of July that year with fireworks
and the accompanying parapher-
MALTA, such as bonfires and match
es. The words "at least" are used,
because the figures do not include
the injured and killed whose names
were not in the newspapers, nor
those who died some time later as
the result Of an apparently minor
injury incurred on the Fourth.
How did some of these accidents
take place? A policeman showing
child how to light firecracRer
had his hand so badly shattered
that amputation was necessary.
When a boy lighted a firecracker
under a tin can, a fragment of tin
and solder was blown through his
clothes and pierced his heart. A
bottle containing a lighted fire
cracker was thrown into a passing
automobile, causing a collision. A
bay placed lighted firecracker in
an unusued 1,000-gallon tank,
which still contained small
amount of gasoline and vapor. The
explosion killed him and injured
two passersby. A war veteran
who had recovered from shell
shock, startled by a firecracker
thrown at him, lashed out blindly
as his old mania returned, and
shattered his skull against lamp
post. The rowdy practice of throw
| ing lighted firecrackers into crowds
or automobiles was found to be III
creasing. Of the 5000 accidents
studied, 1859 were caused by
thrown frecrackers.
