The decline in Wilmington, the re-
port showed, was 43 per cent in ac-
cidents and 80 per cent in persons
injured. There were no fatalities in

of SO per cent in the number of ac-
cidents, compared with the first three
months of 1887, and a decline of 43
per cent in the number of injured and
81 per cent in fatalities.
State police reports showed a de-
crease Of 81 per cent in accidents, 28
per cent in persons injured and ID per
cent decrease in fatalities in March
compared with March, 1887.
"The State Police are very much
gratified with the excellent accident
record last month and the whole
three months of this year," said Sup
erintendent Fader in commenting on
the report. "Stricter enforcement of
motor vehicle laws and greater CO.
operation on the part of the motor
ing public is responsible for this
great decrease in accidents and fatal
tiles, and we certainly hope that this
cooperation on the part of the public
will continue. If it does there is no
doubt that we can establish an en-
viable record this year."

UNCLE SAM'S RICH

But instead of facing merely the menace of a victorious Germany, the country now, says Leahy, should consider the possibility of a disturb ance not only on the Atlantic side but on the Pacific. So, in his. cal culations before the committee, he Jumps Japan, Italy and Germany together for comparison with the American navy.
 The whole world knows that the United States is rich enough to build big navy with less economic pain than any other country With that as a premise, some followers Of the naval race suspect that the noisy entrance of the United States was intended to compel the more belligerent nations to recognize that, even if they build until they col lapse economically, they can't keep up and had better call halt.

 The Cleveland Indians may go places if Oscar Witt can inject spir- it and find another infielder. The Browns improved their mound staff during the winter but there are still a lot of weak spots

WE HAVE been hearing a
w good deal about American
handcrafts lately. OF course,
quilts have always been impor-
tant among our needlework hand
crafts. So many readers have
written asking me for more of the
old fashioned embroidery stitches
that were used in making crazy
patchwork that I have collected
dozens and dozens Of these quaint
stitches from old quilts.
This gay little double house
effect built upon blanket stitches
with chain stitches Haunting from
all gables was the invention OF
someone's great-grandmother and
l couldn't resist using it for a
luncheon set of light blue linen.
It originally adorned light blue
satin patch in quilt and all the
other colors indicated here in the
sketch are the original colors.
All the strands Of six-strand
mercerized embroidery thread
were used for the luncheon set.
The mats were hemmed first and
then the blanket stitches were
taken through the hens to make
a firm edge as shown at the lower
right. All the other stitches used
are clearly illustrated. Just the
edge stitches without the little
houses were used for the nap
kins. Many more authentic old
patchwork stitches are illustrat-
ed in a new leaflet which is free
upon request with the booklet Of
fered herewith.
