LARGE STILL UNEARTHED
IN TALBOT COUNTY

Sheriff Carroll unearthed a large
still near Cordova last Saturday. Con-
WINGED that it was in operation, he
called Federal officers w. T. Roe and
r. D. Landman. Shortly before noon
they headed for the spot in the woods
just this side of Cordova, and there
found a still in operation. In fact,
Sheriff Carroll stated, two buckets
were under the still and ran over while
he and the officers were there.
They found a man said to be Pres
by Casey, whose post office address
in Kenton, Del, but whose home, the
sheriff stated, is in North Carolina.
Casey was brought to Easton and then
taken to Salisbury, where he will be
given hearing. About eight sticks
of dynamite were used in destroying
the still.
This outfit was found within quar-
ter of mile from the site where a
similar outfit was found about a year
ago. In the present outfit eight 200
gallon watts were well filled with mash.
In the outfit were also Is gallons
of whiskey, a 50-gallon boiler, 1000

WEATHER REPORT SHOWS
AUGUST ABNORMAL MONTH

August was warmer than normal
in Maryland and Delaware. 1t was
dry during the first two decades, but
a wet period from the 21st to the 9th,
inclusive, produced an amount of rain
in excess of normal. The only period
of cool weather was the 23rd to 25th.
Sunshine was abundant during the
first and second decades, but very de-
ficient during the third decade, with
excess cloudiness.
Preliminary figures for the month
are as follows: Maryland, SO stations,
mean temperature ISL, and excess of
81; Maryland, 40 stations, average
rainfall, 6.94 inches, an excess of 2.3s
inches or 152 per cent of normal.
In Maryland the highest tempera-
ture reported was 100 at Cumberland
on the goth and the lowest tempera-
ture 55 at Grantsville on the End. The
greatest monthly rainfall was 1918
inches at Chestertown and the least,
4.33 inches at State Sanatorium.
The greatest 24-hour rainfall, re-
ported in Maryland and Delaware was
4.24 inches at Eikton, on the 7th, a
cloudburst.

Cured in the school buildings, II per
cent on the way to or from school, %
per cent at home, and so per cent at
other places. The most dangerous
places in the school buildings were
the gymnasium, the stairs, and the vo-
cational shops. School ground activi-
ties resulting in the most accidents
were football and unorganized play.
There were 1914 accidents per 100,-
600 student-days in the seventh grade
and 1911 in the eleventh. These were
the highest rates recorded. The low
est rate, 81 was for the kindergarten
and the next lowest, 9.3 for the first
grade. The average for all grades
was 1876.

ELKTON OBJECTS TO A
BYPASS BEING BUILT

A delegation of citizens and tax.
payers of Elkton, appeared before the
State Roads Commission in Baltimore
protesting against the proposed BY
pass for Elkton. If the route of the
road is changed, as now proposed, it
would leave this town a half-mile from
the main highway.
Such plan, members of the dele
cation said, would take from the Cecil
county community much of the profit
able business it's hotels, restaurants,
lodging houses, and other enterprises
now obtain from the heavy traffic
along route 40.
Mayor Mitchell told Frank F. Lu-
thardt and G. Nice Wilkinson, mem
bers of the commission, that the town
was working on plans which would
make it possible to route the high
way through its southern portion. The
present road runs through the center
of the town.
Right-of-way officials have been
working on options for Cecil county
section of the new highway for sew
eral weeks.

schools, high schools, colleges and uni
versities," he said, land for the ma
ton as a whole amounts to something
over two billion dollars a year. This
figure is as little understood as is the
underlying reason for all these acct
dentS.''
There are three factors involved
in every accident" Mr.. Rhodes said.
"the road, the car, and the driver.
There may be more factors in a par
ticular accident, but there are at least
these three. The road is to blame in
few accidents, and the car is to
blame in some accidents. Drivers use
the same roads and the same cars,
meet the same emergencies, but some
drivers are able to avoid accidents for
years, while others get into trouble
regularly every six or eight thousand
miles. The largest share of the blame
for today's traffic accidents rests not
on the road or on the car, but on the
driver"

DANGERS BESET SCHOOL
CHILDREN IN DELAWARE

With the opening of schools thru
out the State, Delaware's $4,000
school children have returned to their
jobs of preparing themselves for their
adult tasks of competing successfully
in the business world. According to
the Delaware Safety Council, one of
the biggest problems facing the child
is getting safely from home to school
and from school to home. 1t is a
problem, the solution of which requires
the whole hearted supported of all
persons, particularly motorists. Faster
cars, faster roads and the swift rythm
of a life of speed are the triumphs
and tragedy of our day. In the age
group of 5-14 years (the closest APP
Proclamation to the school child group
given by the U. S. Census Bureaus
records) the automobile accidental
death toll in the u. S. for 1886 was
5000 boys and girls. 7450 were killed
in the 1924 years classification. These
figures are causing educators to en-
anime their school safety program
with an anxious eye.
Student accident reports received by
the National Safety Council during
the school year 1936-37 show that
about 10 per cent of all accidents &C.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
SOMERSET SHERIFFS MAKE
RAID ON SLOT MACHINES

Deputy Sheriffs Isaac H. Dorsey
and Deputy William Holland swoop-
ed down on amusement and gaming
houses throughout Somerset last week
and took into their custody eighteen
slot machines of the penny and nickel
playing sizes. Seven of the machines
were captured on Deals Island, 6 in
Princess Anne, and the remainder at
Crisfield.
The deputy and his assistants visit
ed nearly as many houses as there
were machines taken.
Many people have been under the
impression that the new Maryland law
allowed slot machines but that impress
sion is in error.
The Maryland law absolutely for
bids such gaming devices, but the Ses-
sion of 1887 did pass measure legal
ilizing pin ball and music machines
when proper license-taxes are paid on
them. This law is part of the Re
lief Tax Measure.
Pin ball and music machines allow
the players some choice in what they
get for the money spent in them, while
the slot type mechanism decides the
chance, it is said.
The raid, it is said, came as the
result of requests from Deals Island
residents.

and 50-gallon still.
When the officers got within few
feet of Casey he started to run, but
one of the men soon overhauled him
and brought him back. Then they all
hid in the woods and waited for some
time, thinking others engaged in the
still would put in an appearance
They waited in vain, however, for
none appeared.
The still was found on the Roe es-
tate, said to be occupied by Ira Gallo

Dynamic swarthy Pilot Chekaloff,
whose hands never left the mono :
plane on the 63-hour flight from
Moscow over the North Pole to
this reservation. was out of bed at
the crack of dawn today, a5so-
lutely not interested in airplanes,
while his fellow filters slept.
Chekaloff walked briskly in the
rainy morning, scanned Vancouver
Barracks and tried to find out
what kind of trees were growing
here.
Ambassador Troyanovsky, speak
ing from the front porch of Gen
eral Marshall's home, said the
flight was only forerunner of
future and similar experimental
and scientific flights. He said the
filters will remain in the United
States about month and will go
to Washington.

The filters were met by an Army
and Civilian Board and they pro-
ceeded to the plane where Chek-
aloff directed the removal of the
two paragraphs that hold sealed
records of the course of the flight,
attitudes maintained, take off and
landing. The board members said
the official Paragraphs were in
proper condition, seals unbroken
and will be sent to Washington
for checking.
