Big locomotives are built to do big job
in the big country which is America-a
big job in peacetime as in wartime. They
are built to pull long trains.
Long freight trains can handle more
goods at less cost-to you-than short
trains.
Long trains mean fewer trains-fewer
chances for accidents-fewer Interrupt
tons to traffic.
But few railroad union leaders op-
pose long trains-among their current A.
demands for changes in rules is one limit
ing the length of freight trains to 81 aver
age cars. Why do they demand this?

Marriage Licenses
Delayed BY New Law
CONTINUED from nrst page)


July 1, and the delay which will
be encountered in obtaining the
tests and physicians certificates
on the results.
DR.. Edwin Cameron, executive
secretary of the State Board of
Health, estimated it will take at
least two days to get the blood
test and certificate.
The applicants for pre-marital
examination certificates likely to
get the speediest service under
present arrangements are those
who go to physicians who will inn
mediately get the blood samples to
one of the four Wilmington hospi-
tails for testing.
The four hospital laboratories
have agreed to do the blood tests
daily, and they plan to give physi-
clan the results "a hours after they
receive the blood samples, one of
the state pathologists explained
He said the hospitals have also
agreed to charge the physicians 81
| for this service.
| If John Doe and Mary Doe, resi-
dents of Delaware, want to get a
marriage license as fast as poss-
ible they will go to physician and
have him take blood samples
Then John will rush the samples
/ to hospital laboratory A full day
later the hospital laboratory will
report the results, and if they are
satisfactory, John and Mary may
return to the physician and re-
ceive their pre-marital examina-
ton certificate. Armed with this
certificate, they may go to clerk
of the peace or magistrate, and gel
/ marriage license.
! The two appointments with the
physician and the intervening "a.
hour period consumed by the hos
pital are likely to use up two days
it was estimated.
J DR.. Cameron said the laborator-
les of the four Wilmington hospi'
tails and of the State Board Oi
Health at Dover have tentatively
been approved for conducting the
blood tests required under the new
law. Later the work of the labor
atories will be checked and forma'
approval will be given. Meanwhile
these are the only five laborator'
les in the state legally qualified
to do the tests.
| Physicians in the lower part o.
the state are expected to senC
their samples to the Dover labor
atory for testing. The state will
perform the tests free. Whether Of

not the state laboratory will do the
tests every day is not yet clear,
and unless the samples are taken
to Dover applicants in other towns
will encounter additional delay
while the samples are sent by mail.
DR.. Cameron said that the forms
to be used by physicians in issu-
ing the certificates were mailed to
Delaware doctors last Saturday
and should be in their hands. A
copy of the law is being sent with
each package of certificate forms.
Out-Of-state couples who pro-
duce blood test certificates issued
in other states may obtain licenses
in Delaware Immediately.
The blood test requirement is
designed to assure that prospec-
tive brides and grooms are free of
syphilis in a communicable form.
Delaware thus becomes the thirty
fifth state in the nation to have
such a requirement.
1t is specified in one of several
acts of the Hath General Assem-
bly,, which became effective July
/ 1. Another law now effective sets
up retirement and pension plans
for Wilmington and county en-
plOyees.
A third new law requires that
taxicabs shall be plainly marked
on the front and rear with the word
taxi" and. that owners of such
vehicles shall be required to show
evidence of financial responsible
/ ity. Cabs will be equipped with
license plates having red back
ground instead of the black back
ground of the plates for other Del
aware vehicles.
