Pedestrian Peril,

More than half of all the persons
killed by motor vehicles are pedes-
TRANS. Remember this when sailing
along serenely on the country high
ways. Illumination is poor at night
especially on curves and just beyond
hill crests, when you are faced by
the glazing lights Of an approaching
car. Pedestrians who walk on high
ways should wear some light-colored
article Of clothing and they should
always walk on the left side Of the
road, facing oncoming traffic. When
cars pass each other directly oppo-
site them. pedestrians should step
out onto the shoulder of the road.

SEVEN PRISONERS BREAK
JAIL IN ELKTON, MD.

Seven prisoners three of them call
ed dangerous criminals, made an in
genious escape from Cecil County Jail
at Elkton early last Wednesday morn
ing.
Alarms were broadcast through sew
eral states for the men breaking the
Jail with the aid of a saw and a
horseshoe.
The men escaped over the 3O-foot
wall around the Jail despite precau-
tions taken since a break about a year
ago.
Their escape was described as the
worst one ever occurring in Cecil
County" by Deputy Sheriff Lewis
Seth. There have been several breaks
from the ancient walled Jail.
Twenty-three other prisoners said
they knew nothing of the escape, and
made no attempt to follow through a
rear door on which the locks had been
sawed.

THRILLING RESCUEIN
CHESAPEAKE BAY

Mr.. Joseph H. Rice, of the Maryland
Yacht Club, while cruising in his
yacht Joanna" effected a thrilling
rescue of two young men whose sail
boat had overturned. Navy Plane N.
C. observed the young men in the
water off Tilghman's Point. They
were standing on the overturned and
submerged sailboat, almost shoulder
deep in the water, which was very
rough, making it very difficult for
them to maintain their footing. Only
one of them had life preserver, so
the plane threw them another, and
went off in search of help. Mr.. Rice's
boat was several miles away, when the
plane alighted on the water near them,
and signaled for them to come along
side. Mr.. Rice responded to the call
for help, and guided by the plane went
to the rescue. It was very difficult
to get to them and took quite while,
the water was so rough, but Mr.. Rice
finally succeeded in throwing them a
life preserver attached to a rope, with
which he pulled them into his boat.
The young men were very much ex-
hausted, having been in the water for
some time. They were unable to res
cue the boat, as the bay was so rough.
However they felt better after being
supplied with food and drink. Mr..
Rice took them to their auto, which
was near by. They were John McCord,
of Pittsburgh and his bother, Neal Nc
Cord of Washington, D. C.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DELAWARE TAG COLORS
TO BE CHANGED IN '3S

Officials of the Delaware State
Motor Vehicle Department are serious
ly considering abandoning the blue
and gold automobile license plates for
a new color scheme in 1888, it was
learned last week.
While no official action has yet
been taken, it is understood the Of
ficials of the department are taking
into consideration various color
schemes to ascertain which would be
the best to assist State and city po-
lice in designating registration num-
bers at night, in the event change
is made.
Although it was rumored that red
and gray has been decided on as the
new color scheme, it was definitely
stated last week that no decision has
been reached as to whether or not a
change will be made.
For many years the color scheme
of the Delaware license plates has
been blue and gold, alternating each
year between blue figures and gold
background.

MOTHER ALLOWED CHILD
FOR THREE MONTHS

The four-day divorce trial at Prin-
cess Anne, came to an end on Friday
last, with Associate Judge T. Sangston
Insley allowing Mrs. Dorothy Gale
Tull, mother of Alonza E. Tull, 6, who
has been living with his father Honis
A. Tull, at Marion, for three years,
to take the child on a vacation.
Judge Insley, however, directed that
the child should be in the custody of
his father, prominent Marion farmer,
during all the months of the year
save June, July and August.
Mr.. Tull and Mrs. Tull separated in
1884, shortly after they came to Mar
ion, where he came from Scarsdale,
N. Y, to look after the estate left
by his parents.
Mrs. Tull lives with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Gale of Oak Park,

INGENIOUS METHOD OF
TRANSMITTING MAIL

A new mail service was established
some days ago, and now Mrs. Ma
bel Somers, whose home is on the
water on the other side of Cove street,
Crisfield, gets her mail by wire in
stead of having to walk several hun
dred yards to the mail box.
AS the Somers home is not located
so that it could be served by the city
mail carriers, the mail had to be left
in a mail box some distance from the
house, and someone had to walk out
to the box for it.
Now, due to the ingenuity of Mr..
Sherwood Barnes, Jr., a grandson of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Barnes, wires have
been arranged in such manner that
when any mail is put in the Somers'
mail box all Mrs. Somers has to do is
to pull the wire and the box comes
