TRAFFIC GROWS
AT MIDDLETOWN
Committee to Ask Highway
Cooperation in Maintain
ing Streets
SAFETY FOR CHILDREN

Following a conference with Of
ficials in Dover Thursday, the
special committee headed by May
or Louis Levinson announced that
it will petition the State Highway
Commission at its next meeting to
cooperate in finding a solution to
traffic problems in Middletown.
Safety of school children and
maintenance of streets are the
main issues involved. Since the
st. Georges bridge accident, all
DUPONT Highway traffic has been
routed through Middletown, Great
ing a situation, Mayor Levinson
points out, that has caused much
concern among townspeople. The
committee conferred with w. w.
Mack, chief engineer of the State
Highway Department, and Sena-
tor Paul Rinard, Superintendent of
State Police John r. Fader also
has been approached in the matter.
Mayor Levinson sid Council would
await the recommendations of the
highway commission before taking
any action on behalf of the town.
The committee reports that traf-
fic has increased about so times
over normal, creating safety
hazard, especially for school chill
dren. Streets of the town also are
being damaged, council states,
with a large program of repairs in
prospect. Members of the commit
tee in addition to the mayor, are:

The Safety Rally is part of the
State wide educational program
promoted to reduce accidents and
to increase safety consciousness in
the minds of Delawareans. Last
year, the United States cut its ac-
cidental death toll by 10,200, the
greatest improvement ever record
ed in a single year. In Delaware,
a reduction of 35 per cent was re-
corded in the number of fatalities,
or a saving of 38 lives as compared
to the record of 1887. Delaware
was tied with Pennsylvania for
second place among all states in
the nation in saving lives on high
ways during 1888. If we are to
continue being safe state, we
must continue our fight against
accidents, using as one of our main
weapons a sustained educational
program. The Safety Rally is an
educational program and should be
Of interest to all Delawareans.
Admission to the Rally is limited
to persons 16 years of age and
over. Tickets may be obtained at
the door of the theater or from the
local representative Of the Coun-
Gil, Mayor William E. Matthews,

Of their lack is that they encour-
age people to treat their own
symptoms rather than to get a
physicians diagnosis and recon-
mendation. HE who treats him
self has a fool for a DOCTOR"
Recently there has ben consid-
cradle evidence that there is a
widespread lack of sufficient vita
min A in the diet. Many of our
foods contain this vitamin in large
quantities. Butter, eggs, milk, and
vegetables are all good sources.
The extremely underweight person
or the persons who have frequent
colds may benefit from extra Wit
amin A in the form of cod liver oil
or of other vitamin preparation.
However, it would seem the best
thing for such a person to consult
their physician to determine if
possible some other condition is
causing their underweight or sus-
ceptibility to colds. In any case
vitamin A supplements should be
added to an already adequate diet
rather than taken as a substitute
for one.
The vitamin B complex, which
includes vitamin G, has been
greatly exploited by the manufac-
turers. According to them it is a
sure cure for most of our health
problems such as: underweight,
constipation, lack of appetite,
poor complexion, and even social
failure. There are undoubtedly
many people who would benefit
from additional vitamin B. It
does seem doubtful that as a peo-
pie we need to consume large
amounts of vitamni B drug prep
arations. AT least we should try
using the more normal foods such
as dark cereals, dark breads, veg
etables, fruits, milk, eggs, and
cheese before we decide we need
to buy such things as yeast and
other vitamin B preparations.
Vitamin c concentrates are not
in common use. The ready avail
ability of tomatoes and tomato
juice, orange juice, and fresh veg
etables if properly used should
supply our needs for this vitamin.
Vitamin D enjoys the distinction
Of being the only one about which
everyone SENS in agreement. Lit
tie vitamin D is supplied in our
natural foods. Extra vitanin D in
cod liver oil or some other form
practically necessity for baby
up to two years old. There is
every indication that extra vita
min D throughout the entire grow
ing period would result in better
bones and teeth.
It has not been shown that any
of the vitamins can be absorbed in
significant amounts from creams
rubbed in the skin. Our skin will
be more beautiful if we include the
vitamins where we are sure we
can use them, in a we'll balanced
diet.
It has been demonstrated that
people consuming large amounts
Of the protective foods milk. veg
etables, fruit and eggs do get the
essential materials which are need
ed. 1t has not been demonstrated
that we know as yet just what all
these essentials are. If there are
elements essential to life and
health which have not yet been
discovered we may be fairly sure
that they will be supplied in the
protective foods.

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
How To Avoid Common Errors in
Preparing Your Returns

The Revenue Act of 1888 pro-
vides for only one normal tax rate,
that is, 4 percent on the amount of
the net income in excess of the al
lowable credits such as the per
sonal exemption, credit for de-
.pendents, ETC. The act provides
for an additional credit for the
purpose of the normal tax of an
earned income credit, that is, 10
percent of the amount of the earn
ed net income but not in excess Of
10 percent of the amount of the
net income. The personal eXemp
tion and credit for dependents are
also allowable as credits against
the net income for the purpose Of
the surtax, the resulting net in
come being designated ''surtax net
income" The surtax is imposed
on surtax net incomes in excess of
$4,000. The rates increase in ac-
cordance with the amount of sur
tax net income included in varying
so-called surtax brackets. On
surtax net income of 1000 or less
there is no surtaX. On a surtaX
net income in excess of $4,000 and
not in excess of $4,000, the rate is
4 percent of such excess. The sur
tax upon a surtax net income Of
$4,000 is $50 and upon surtaX
f,1 fNE ~
not in excess of $4,000 the rate is
percent of such excess in add
tion to the $50, or a surtax of
$3.50 upon a surtax net income of
S8,000 The surtax on surtaX
net income of S5,O00,0OG is 3,591,-
900, and upon a surtax net income
in excess of $5,000,000, rs percent,
the maximum rate, is applicable
to such excess, in addition to the
1851, 900. Many taxpayers make
the error of applying the maxi
mum rate instead of the rate pro-
vided for in the bracket in which
their surtax net income is includ-
ed.
Following is an example of how
to compute the tax on a net in
come of $500, all of which repre-
sents earned net income, the tax
payer being single and without de-
pendents:
Less personal exemption :. 1000

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON,

Everybody is color conscious these
days, what with spring and the
worlds fair and Paris fashion de-
crees. So it is no surprise to learn
that color is creeping into the
houses we live in, asserting itself
in the very heart of our household
equipment.
What makes this pop into our
head right now is the announce
ment Of new line of cabinet hard
ware, especially suitable for the
kitchen. made of chromium-plated
brass, with an insert of color as
part Of each hinge, drawer pull,
door handle. etc. 1t is modern in
design. which means it is neat,
clean-cut and simple, and the color
strips are interchangeable, so you
can alter the color scheme of your
kitchen without removing the hard
ware.
The colors are made of plastic in
red, ivory, black, blue or green.
They make neat bands around an
octagonal knob pull, or one line
across a drawer or cabinet pull,
while they are mere strips of color
at the top and bottom OF a door
hinge. When you buy the hard
ware you can buy various colored
plastic inserts at slight additional
cost and change from red to blue
whenever the spirit moves YOU
without changing the hardware.
The color will not peel. chip or fade.
no matter how often it Is cleaned.
The hardware itself has the sill
very sheen of chromium although
the sturdiness of wrought brass lies
under the plating. There is choice
of steel or brass in the hinges. The
line is varied, with several types OF
spring latches, and catches, different
shaped door pulls and hinges in
several sizes.
When ordering, specify the item
with which you plan to use the
hardware, so you will be sure to get
the exact strip for that item. The

January Revenue
Home Rental Demand
Held indicative of
Active Market

Homes held by the Home Owners
Loan Corp. pending sale are being
rented almost as rapidly as they
are made available to yield income.
In January they returned revenue
of $2,22O,0O0 to the corporation,
Charles A. Jones, general manager,
announced today.
This demand for rented homes,
coupled with mounting H. o. L. c.
sales, is a certain indication Of an
active real estate market this
spring." Mr.. Jones declared. "Of
the $1,000 H. o. L. c. properties
now ready to yield revenue, 87.5
per cent were rented in January
and rental collections were 98.7
per cent of monthly billings.
Cheaper Units in Demand.
There can be no question as
to the price class in which the de-
mand exists. The average rented
H. O. L. c. property brings $29 a
month; the average rental price for
units left vacant is $31.48. The
cheaper units are the ones in de-
mand.
"Sales substantiate this fact.
More than 28,70O homes were sold
by the H. o. L. c. in 1888, as COM
pared with 5395 in 1887. Nearly
70 per cent of our sales were for
$4,000 or less. An additional IL
per cent were between $4,000 and
5000.
ITO really tap the Nations
potential market, homes must be
offered within the means OF those
of small and moderate incomes.
This applies both to new construc-
ton and to existing properties.
Greater Sales Expected.
Mr., Jones said he expected H. q.
L. C. sales in 1889 greatly to ex-
ceed those in 1888.
This increase will be limited
only by our precautions to main
