RULES
FOR CHILDREN
Delaware Safety Council
Warns Children About
Dangers of Street Play
CAUTION TO CHILDREN

With the opening Of schools,
children will be spending most of
their time outdoors until winter
arrives. They will be playing in
the yard, on the sidewalks, and if
parents are not careful. in the
streets. According to the Delaware
Safety Council, simple precautions
can prevent many accidents that
occur to children. Children can
be taught to take off their roller
skates when they cross the street
and they can be instructed not to
coast in their wagons across the
street. Also, children can be
taught to stay out of the path of
an automobile which is being back
ed out Of a driveway. The Safety
Council also offers this advice to
children themselves: Cross all
streets carefully at crosswalks.
Look in both directions before
crossing the streets. Use the play
grounds instead of the streets for
games. Use scooters, coasters and
roller skates on the sidewalk in
stead Of the roadway. Hooking
rides on trucks and other vehicles
has resulted in death and injury to
many boys and girls. 1t is not
worth it. You are liable to arrest
for it is a violation of an ordin-
ance in some cities and towns.
There are too many careless BIZ
cycle riders in our State. The only
safe way to ride a bicycle is as fol-
lows: Learn the traffic regulations
and obey them, particularly should
you obey the law concerning traffic
signals, etc. Never carry another
person on the cross bar or handle
bars. Give the proper hand signals
when stopping or turning left.
Carry proper lights on your bike
after dark. Ride on the right side
Of the street.

Steeplejacks in Smyrna are a

of the Asbury Church steeple from
the Times Office, and therefore a
splendid opportunity to watch the
men work at dizzy heights. We
have a few complaints, however.
First is a stiff neck. And why

The Farmers Respond

BY the overwhelming majority
that was expected, farmers Of the
rlue-cured tobacco belts Of the south
cast have responded to the urge OF
government officials, into whose
care and keeping they have COM
mitted themselves, and to the APP
peals of business men and tobacco
industry leaders, and have voted
upon themselves Federal regulation
and control of their livelihood for
three years to come.
Government bureau chiefs asked
for it. and now that they have gain
ed the confidence Of the growers,
the responsibility for farm well be-
ing has largely become theirs. From
here on, under long time quota
authority, it is for them to see to IT
that tobacco farmers receive the
maximum for their production. Many
of them probably voted for the long
time plan because they knew moth
inc else TO do, rather than because
at heart they believed it to be eco
numically sound from all angles.
Under the circumstances, however,
they did what we believe was the
best thing to do.
BY approving the thrcc-ycar plan,
growers may now look for an aver
age of around fifteen cents pound
for their 1910 crop, and perhaps as
good as that or better for the years
covered by the new delegation OF au-
thority. according to assurances given
by those who should be in position
TO speak with some degree Of know
ledge. They won't make any money
even at that, but it is infinitely bet
ter than to leave production wide
open and get only half or tWo-thirdS
that amount, as they were told would
be likely without restrictions.
Flue-cured growers have again
demonstrated in real way their
willingness to cooperate to the ut
most, as they have done before. They
have resolved to do their part, as
they have been advised what their
part is, toward rehabilitation Of their
industry. In the main, they have
endeavorcd this year to comply with
quotas assigned under mandate Of
the 1889 referendum, and will GER
tainly 60 the full distance in that
cndeavor in the three years to come
during which time new restrictions
will be in effect.
Once more the growers have act
cd in 4 spirit Of patriotism and have
responded as they were asked to do.
They are to be congratulated on the
attitude they have assumed. All OF
us can hope that by the time the
authority newly conferred shall lapse
there will be no further reason for
a procedure of this sort, and that
every farmer may then again be his
own boss as in other days.

German Tactics

Germany is up to her old tactics
in the Far East with respect to the
coveted prize Of the Dutch East In
dies. From Amsterdam come re-
ports that Netherlands colonial Of
ficialS have been arrested in repriSal
for alleged mistreatment Of Germans
in the Dutch possession.
All OF which has the ring Of claims
emanating from Berlin in the days
before Austrian, Czech and Polish
sovereignties were abolished by Nazi
seizures. They were part OF the
groundwork for invasion and annex
alton that were to follow. and charges
relating to affairs in the Far East
may probably be but the preliminary
to similar moves b. either the Ger
mans or the Japanese to gobble up
the East Indies.
japan is known to cOVet these rich
islands. and Japan. it will be re-
membered. is an affiliate Of the axis
bowers. 50 that the old idea of you
scratch my head and III scratch
yours" may be coming into vogue in
another quarter Of the globe. If Hit
Ter can trump up the excuse to just
lily Japanese "protcctorate" over
the Dutch possessions as 4 starter for
ultimate and perhaps early seizure.
the mikado may be able to return
the favor in some other place.
How soon the Dutch islands will
cease to be the property OF the
mother country and be transferred
to Japan-or possibly even Ger
manv-iS matter for Hitler to say.
1t is safe to assume that they Will
not for long retain their present
status: no. not such 4 valued prize
of war as this.
II the truth were known, it would
likely be that no untoWard incident
has occurred in the East Indies. or
that ii it has the Germans manlpu-
lated it as an excuse for continuing
their large scale aggression. At least
the new move in Amsterdam should
be regarded as an evidence that any
idea OF Hitler combining his actiri-
ties to the continent Of Europe. and
later Africa. should Immediately be
dismissed as the wrong guess. He
has no notion OF stopping short Of
anywhere he wishes to go if he has
the means of getting there.

Pointers On
Summer Care
OF Livestock

College Station, Raleigh. July o.
Hogs do not pcrSpirc, hence they SUI
fer from heat more than other ami
mails, says Dr. c. ID. Grinnclls, vctcr-
iniarian Uf N. c. State College. This
he pointed out in giving eight hot
weather pointers to help farmers pre-
vent needless suffering and loss
among livestock during July and
August.
DR.. Grinnells said the first prin-
ciple of handling livestock during hot
weather is to provide plenty of cool,
clean water. Second, do not allow
horses 20 drink until they have cool
ed off.
Third, be sure that artificial shade
of some kind is provided if pasture
does not have trees. Fourth, avoid
feeding too much heat-producing
grain, such as corn, in excessively
hot weather.
Fifth, if a horse stops perspiring,
pants excessively, or shows a ten
dcncy TO stagger, stop working him
Immediately and call a veterinarian.
These are signs Of heat stroke or sun
stroke and may prove fatal.
Sixth pointer is: Wash the should
ers and neckS of horses with strong
salt water at the end of the days
work. Working horse with collar
sores may ruin valuable animal.
Seventh, keep horses out of low pas
lures during the sleeping sickness
season unless they have been vac
cinated against the disease.
And finally ne said that hogs, of
all animals, need plenty of shade and
water because they do not perspirc.
DR.. Grinnclls concluded his mes
sage Of advice by saying that severe
hog cholera outbreaks arc now being
reported in several sections of the
State. He warned farmers to be on
guard against this dread livestock
disease, and recommended the calling
of veterinarian Immediately upon
the frs, sign of the disease.
