Accident Causes

The Delaware Safety Council
yesterday spotlighted the cor
cumstances it said are likely to
surround most traffic accidents
in the nation over the forthcoin-
ing Labor Day weekend.
l. The driver will be the chief
victim of any fatal holiday traf-
fic accident
2. Most accidents will involve
only one car.
8. Eight out of 10 traffic
deaths IN the nation will come
in rural areas and on high-speed
highways. Speed will be a fact
or in seven out of 10 accidents.
A. Drink will figure in nearly
half the fatal accidents.
S. The accidents will occur
most often in the evening.
The Council said it based its
facts on a national study of
Labor Day traffic deaths. The
same circumstances have been
generally true in Delaware acci-
dents.
Those are the facts" said
]. H. Tyler Mcconnell, president
of the council. "And here are
hints we believe can help con-
tinue Delaware's excellent rec
ord of avoiding fatal accidents
on holiday weekends:
l. Make sure your cars in top
shape before starting out. Check
your car, paying special atten-
ton to tires and brakes.
2. Keep cool in traffic. Don't
let other drivers irritate you in
to an accident.
3. Don't try to drive too far
in day, about 400 miles or
eight hours at the most.
a. Be doubly cautious after
dark. Smart drivers reduce their
speed at least 10 m.p.h. to COM
pensate for the nighttime reduc-
tion of vision.

don't be in a hurry. Remem-
Der to SLOW DOWN AND

last thing the Californians had
in mind. Hastily Lowell organ
lied a firing line across the
town, posting his men in every
conceivable point of vantage.
The Californians fought from
behind trees and bushes, and
from the roofs and porches of
Rockville homes, as horror
stricken women and children
screamed in agonizing terror.
Groups of blue-clad soldiers
formed around wood-piles and
behind back yard fences, and
roaring Rebel horsemen tore
across lawns and gardens to
get at them. Union fire was
deadly at such short range, the
Confederate cavalrymen making
easy targets as they milled
through the streets, and found
themselves trapped in fenced
yards from which there was no
exit. Briefly the contending
forces were equal, then the dis
organized Southerners drew off
to try again.

est way to bring his tired col

Before the last of the retreat
ing Southern infantry had
passed, the End Massachusetts,
with Major Fry's thoroughly
exhausted command In reserve,
approached Rockville along the
Georgetown Pike. Excited vii
layers rushed out to tell Col.
Lowell of the Confederate re-
treat through the town. Low
ell had no desire to match
strength with the entire Con-
federate army, so he waited pa
tiently beneath the hill on which
Fry had fought three days
earlier, until Bradley Johnson
and the Southern rear-guard
had disappeared down the road
to Poolesville, whereupon the
2nd Massachusetts moved bold
~ into Rockville. Lowell was
content to hold the town, and
await further orders. AS a rou-
tine precaution he ordered a
company forward to watch the
Confederates on the Poolesville
rd., then dismounted to prepare
his report to Washington. His
officers likewise dismounted,
and most of them climbed the
steps OF the Montgomery House
in search of refreshments, en-
viously watched by Major Fry
and his three remaining lieu
tenants, who had been halted
IN reserve on the rise where
the Norbeck and Georgetown
rds. parted company, near
where the traffic light now
flashes. Rockville breathed a
sigh Of relief at the peaceful
entry of the Northern cavalry,
and settled back to forget Sun

One man, and one man only,
was bitterly unhappy at the
peaceful re-entry of the Union
forces. Unfortunately for the
peace Of Rockville, that man
was Jubal Early. Convinced
that the Northern Generals in
Washington were planning to
destroy his army before 1t could
cross the Potomac, Early was
furious with Bradley Johnson
for permitting Union cavalry to
draw so near to the worn-out
Confederates. Peremptorily he
ordered Johnson to retake
Rockville without delay.
