ating SO that regular airline ser
vice will begin this summer. This
is the most dangerous air route in
the world. Airlines have been es-
tablished all over the globe, even
across the Pacific. Since there
aren't any islands in the Atlantic
to make airbases, planes must be
built to cover a long distance and
to weather any conditions.
Several airplane corporations are
making airships specially for ocean
travel. These will be larger than
any of our present airships They
will be two or three times the size
Of the China Clipper Being able
to carry around seventy-fve pas
sengers, they will cross the ocean
in about fifteen hours
For the first few years this will
be very expensive travelling, but as
the companies get organized and
more people begin travelling by air,
the prices will gradually grow

alsn in the whole United States.
Rut this idea of gliding being
dangerous is entirely wrong and
Gliding is not much more expensive
than many other sports. Accord
ing to figures published in "Air
Trails" magazine, two place util-
ity glider, a trailer and a winch for
launching may be built for four
hundred dollars. Even if this were
two expensive for one person, a
group of ten could get together,
form club, pool their resources,
hire an instructor and either build
or buy a glider Such club in
every town and city in Delaware
would do much to advance aviation,
develop airports and train future
pilots for military service in time
of national emergency. That item
Of developing airports is of great
Importance too, for every town
which has an airport a few years
hence, will show great advance
ment because Of this. Therefore,
perhaps it would well repay for
ward looking town to assist, fin
ancially, in the establishment of
these gliding clubs.

SCHOOL OF SAFETY PATROL
May Z Set as Date For A.A.A.
School Safety Patrol Parade

May z, the date of the AA "A. S
Seventh National School Safety
Patrol Parade, is being marked in
red letters by thousands of school
patrolmen in many sections of the
country, according to L. r. Lewis,
president of the Delaware Motor
Club. THE 1888 parade" said
Mr.. Lewis, promises to be the
biggest and most colorful since
this event first became an out
standing feature of Washington S
annual calendar of events. And,
leading the national parade dem
onstration as worthy ofa dditional
honors, will be the Honor Medal
Division, made up of safety patrol
men who have received local ac-
claim for saving a life while on
duty. Last year 20 boys were in
this division, their noteworthy acts
verified by careful local investiga-
tion. This is a forceful testimon-
ial to the value of the work of all
patrolmen Motor clubs already

A Track Team

They say if you want a thing
bad enough you can get it. And,
1 believe this is true, for after
striving for many weeks, we have
formed a group of boys into what
might prove to be a successful
track team. Some of the boys
show promises Of developing into
good runners.
Mr.. Ward, our track coach, is
getting the boys in shape. Some
of the time trials have proved to
be very impressive Mr. Ward
plans to choose runners to repre-
sent our school at the Delaware
meet to be held on May z. The
races in which they will participate
are: the 100 yard, 22O yard, 44O
yard, $50 yard, and the one mile
"A team also will be entered to run
in the medley relay. Two other
meets have been scheduled. Both
are with Chestertown, one to be
held there, and the other in Smyr-
ma.
If the boys are successful, it is
possible that Smyrna may have a
track team every year in the fu-
ture.

DELMARvA GROWERS have long known
that it pays to use highpotash fertilizer for to-
matoes and sweet potatoes. That is why 3-8-10
is such popular mixture for these crops. Your
fertilizer man recommends 3-8-1O because he
knows that many leading farmers use it with
outstanding success.
3-8-1O produces bigger yields of short,
smooth, chunky No. l sweet potatoes of the
uniform size that the market prefers. In nine
years of experiments at the Virginia Truck Ex-
pertinent Station, in which 13 different fertil-
izers were compared, the yields of prime sweet
potatoes were increased as the potash in the
fertilizer was increased. 1870 POTASH FER
TILIZER produced the biggest yields.

tomatoes and reduces the cat-faces, puffs, culls
and small, poorly-colored fruits. It keeps to-
