Safety Council Yarns against
Dangers Incnrring From Fire

ten years on, deaths, from burns are
less numerous but they continue to
occur in considerable number at all
ages.
The National Safety Council esti-
mates that about 81 per cent of the
deaths from burns are due to home
accidents; about II per cent are oc-
cupational accidents (including
deaths of firemen); and only per
cent can be classified as public.
Deaths from burns were about
evenly split between males and fe-
males, the 1885 total for the former
being 4,06S and for the latter 1906.
Since such large proportion of
deaths from burns occur in the
home, 1t is not surprising that fe-
males make up 4S per cent OF the
total, whereas females are the vic
tins in only % per cent of the acci-
dental deaths from causes other than
burns.

To Close School
After hearing the four board
members OF the Rawlins District,

school, the State board decided to
close the school. II has only nine
pupils who will be transferred to the
Seaford and Georgetown Special

agreed to abide by the decision of
the board.
The board granted the request of
the Selbyville Board of Education

On suggestion of Dr. R. W. Helm,
director of vocational education. the
board approved recommendations of
Miss Marion Breck, supervisor OF

Power Of Farmers
Income Back To 1929 Level

the 1920's farmers as a group were
not relatively prosperous. Farm land
values were declining during most of
this period, the mortgage debt was
burdensome, taxes were high, and
prices of farm products were low
relative to prices of most other COM
modities."
In comparing 1887 income with
pre-depression income, it should al
so be borne in mind that there are
more people on farms now than in
the 20's SO that this years income
must be spread over larger popu-
lation, the Bureau said.

WIN DOUBLES

WIMBLEDON, England, July &c
G.N.S).-The United States took
81 lead over England in Davis
Cup competition today when the
California pair, Don Bulge and
Gene Mako, trounced their British
opponents, Charles Tuckey and F.
H. D. Wilde, 6-3, IS, 10
12-10.
The Americans need only one
victory, in the two singles matches
to be played tomorrow. to take
the cup home with them.
Once again it was Bulge who
dominated the court. Whenever
the English broke through Mako
as they did often. it was the red
headed comet who came through
with a blistering service, that sew
eral times resulted in love games
After the English pair had wor
the third set, the crowd cheerec
for a rally that would carry them
through to victory, but nothing
could stop Bulge.
He was a whirling derVish as
he dashed to the net for tremen
dous kills, that caught his rivals
flat.footed. So hard was he
hitting that he broke the handle
Of his racquet and it was merely
a question of how long it would
take Wilde to weaken or Mako
to steady enough to assure victory
Then came the turning point
in the fourth set when Tuckey
who had played beautiful tennis
all through began to tire. The
Americans turned on the heat
and managed to break his serv
ice to take the lead. 1t was all
over.
