MIDDLETOWN, DEL..MAY 30. 1914
FEAR ORDER WILL BE ABUSED
The Delaware Automobile Associa
tion is aroused over the recent act of
the Levy Court in granting powers to
the commissioners to name as many
special officers as they deem wise to
prevent speeding on the roads of the
county. The Automobile Association
members contend that this authority
will be abused. It was pointed out
that a men may be caught speeding
while taking a hill or while descending
one.
Several members of the association,
when spoken to said that they were
highly in favor of the suggestion made
at the recent meeting of the Levy Court
by Commissioner Fouracre, which was
that two men should be deputized for
this service, that the men should be
paid $5 per day each, and should be men
whose testimony could not be impeach
ed.
One automobilist said: "It is an easy
matter for any man, knowing that he
will get half of the fine imposed, to make
it a point to station himself at such
points wfiere speed is most necessary
to make-a climb". In Pennsylvania
the speed limit is 24 miles per hour,
while in Mayland it is 35 miles per hour.
In Delaware the limit is 20 miles per
hour. The speed limit therefore will
be shown to be very uncertain It is
also contended that it would be an im
possibility for the trappers to catch cut
of state automobilists, as they would
be out of the state before notification
could be made if time was al
lowed to make up the tabulation of the
speed at which the car in question was
running.
Therefore, it is said, the Delaware
automobilists would be the sufferers
through an unjust decision. The mat
ter, however, will not rest, as it is said I
that any action which may terminate
In the conviction • of innocent persons
will be bitterly fought by the Delaware
Automobile Association.

The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
i ?
or
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the offi
cial examinations to be of the
highest leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purify and wholesomeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest andmost economical food.
