WASHING TON
FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN
WILLIAM F. ALLEN

ENJOYED THE FAIR this ma st
week very much. It was real
pleasure to see so many of nv
friends and constituents from all
over the State.
/ SPECIAL SESSION There Is
still much talk of a special session
shortly after the November elee-
tions. Some believe that this will
not occur this year, but nany are
IN belief that the President will
call Congress into session to handle
the railroad problems, and to clear
the way for the new Congress.
DISARMAMENT Although
hope is slim that countries in gea-
eral will want to follow a program
of disarmament for the sake of
preserving peace in the world.
President Roosevelt declared re-
Gently that the United States is
ready to cooperate in a world effort
to reduce arms. Many believe the
President was voicing something
that in few years will be shared
by other nations. It is believed
that the futility of war, cost of
arms, as well as other such things
may cause the warning countries
to turn their views toward peace.

Truck Accident at Garrison's Mill

Truck Accident at Garrison's Mil
Three trucks, all going south
were involved in an accident near
Garrison's mill on the State high
way several miles south of Smyr-
ma, about 1.3O o'clock Wednesday
morning of last week and while all
three machines were damaged the
drivers escaped injury. A truck
owned by Claude NJ. Harris, of
Hebron, Md, and driven by Henry
j. Kinnery, also of Hebron, skidded
and went down an embankment.
This truck was in the lead. The
second truck was following fairly
close and when the first skidded
the driver of the second suddenly
slowed up and swerved to avoid
hitting the Harris truck and the
third truck crashed into it and both
of those trucks also went over
small embankment The other We
hicles are owned by Merrill Hop
kins, also of Hebron, and William
Wilson. of FELTON,. Both were emp
ty while the Harris truck was load
ed with meat.

REHOBOTH HAS
TAX PROBLEM
If School Becomes a Special
District 1t Will Mean More
Taxes For Upkeep
BUILDING PROBLEM TOO

Increased school taxes will be
necessary if the proposed school
building program is approved by
the voters the Board of Education
pointed out in a statement issued
Thursday. Taxpayers will vote
next month on a bond issue to fin
ance construction of a modern
! school building there. At an cleo
ton earlier in the month voters ap-
proved the creation of a special
school district there. The board
stressed that for years Rehoboth
Beach has paid only 10 cents on
the 500 school tax, with virtually
all the cost of running Rehoboth
schools being paid by the state be-
cause the Rehoboth district was a
State Board unit.
The boards statement continued:
IF, however, the building program
is carried out, the Rehoboth dis
trict must cease to be State
Board unit and becomes a special
school district. This means that
the Rehoboth district will get aid
proportional to the number of pu-
pills in the district, because the
state allotment to special school
districts is based on the pupil en-
rollment.
Every one of the present special
school districts has so mony more
pupils than Rehoboth will suffer
in the allotment of state aid. Even
as it is, number of the existing
special school districts have to
levy a school tax, and yet they
have many times more pupils than
Rehoboth.
"A smaller number of pupils
does not mean a proportionally
smaller cost of running a twelve
grade school Much of the cost is
the same for a acknowledgement
school as for a thousand-pupil
school Rehoboth would have to
evy school taxes on the head and (
On the property in order to raise
money to pay such additional cost

Moreover, Renoboth would have

Garrett L. Grier, Milford, Injured
But Saves Woman Driver

Leaping from his car on the
highway near Milford, Garrett u.
Grier, 25, halted a runaway team
Of horses which had gotten out Of
control Of a woman driver. He
suffered deep cut over the right

tance before the frightened horses
stopped. Mr.. Grier, the son Of DR..

itv of 100000 bushels a year. A
similar amount will be processeC
at new plant now under construc-
ton at Milan, Mich The balance
of the crop will be retained for
seed for use in the spring of 1889.
The historic old grist mill al
ready has become the mecca for
farmers for many miles around
Saline, and it promises to become
the show place Of the Ford soy
bean operations in southeastern
Michigan.
The oil, which comprises Is per
cent of the soy bean flake, is ex-
tracted with hexane, a liquid SOL
vent, and then recovered by evapo-
rating the solvent. The extraction
process takes place in a large in
sulated tube set at an angle of APP
proximately 80 degrees with the
floor. A screw conveyor operates
inside the tube, carrying the bean
flakes from the bottom toward the
top as the solvent pours down.
The solvent carrying the oil is
drawn off from the base of the
tube and run through evaporators
where the solvent passes off as
vapor and the oil remains. The
solvent is used over and over again.
The oil is used in the manufacture
Of car finishes and in binding foun-
Try cores.
The meal, from which the oil has
been extracted, is carried off from
he top of the mill and is bagged
or use in manufacture Of plastic
parts for Ford cars at the Rouge
glass plant.
Aside from the hydroelectric
liant, power also will be available |
rom a standby steam plant.

\ NEW OIL BOOKLET ISSUED
Sun Oil Company Puts Out One

If your motor suddenly begins
to knock and lose power, don t
blame the gasoline, the car or the
dealer, until after yaI have check

ing" advises the Sun Oil Com
pany's district manager, Mr.. Rob

this suggestion are all to be found
in an interesting booklet we have
just published" he continues. This
booklet is entitled What Causes
Knocks p and is available, without
charge, wherever Sunoco products
are sold. Walt Disney has drawn
a number of original Illustrations
for this booklet, including new
drawings of Mickey Mouse, Donald
Duck and other Disney characters.
Then in simple, non-technical Ian
guage, the booklet gives the why's

kept knockless and powerful for
probably as many miles as you will
want to drive them. AS I say, this

Why Port Arthur Got Name

Port Arthur, the name of Luz
Shun-Kou. was given this European
name by Admiral Seymour when
the British forces were there in
1860. The inference is that Port
Arthur was named for the son of
Queen Victoria.

INDIANS REBOUND
FROM MASSACRE
Blasted by Yanks, Win 9 of
10 Games to Gain Tie for
Second Place.
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Like the proverbial mice who play
while the cats away, the Cleveland In
dians have been going great guns since
the New York Yankees last were seen
headed in the direction Of their third
straight American League pennant.
At that time the Indians just had
been blasted out Of sight, driven 16
games down into third place after los
ing five out of six to the Bronx Bomb
ers. That might have had a discourage
ing effect on most teams, and turned
their thoughts largely to the next sea-
sons chances.
But apparently it didn't hit the In
dians that way. Oscar Wits boys re-
acted. in fact, as If they'd had a great
burden lifted of their collective shoul-
ders.
In any event. today they are tied for
second place with the Boston Red 6ox
"A position they have achieved by
winning Of their 10 starts since the
great Bronx massacre. The ninth, and
eighth In succession, was nailed to the
wall yesterday as Bob Feller pitched a
four-hit, 60 shutout against the
Tigers.
Tribe Pitchers Durable.
1t was Bob's best performance since
early in the season, when he tossed q
one-hitter his first time out and fol-
lowed up two weeks later with three
hit job for 10 innings. 1t also was the
eighth time in those nine victories
that the Cleveland starter went the
route. Feller, with a seven-hitter five
days before, Mel Harder and Willis
Hudlin contributed two each and
Johnny Allen and Al Mifhar one
apiece.
Feller's job Of whitewashing, marked
by six strikeouts, was just the best of
several notable pitching performances
on the days six-game program.
Most important to the National
League race was Curt Davis f1ve-hit
finging that gave the Cardinals an so
decision over the Reds. Davis, who
didn't walk q man, thus dropped Gin
cinnati AZ games behind the first
place Pirates, a location the Reds will
seek to improve when they face the
Buccaneers in the opener Of a two
game series today. 1t also brought
