» Special to The Evening Journal,
SEAFORD, Del.. Jan. 9.—A large
délégation of representative citizens
of Seaford and the surrounding
country appeared before the Stete
Highway Commission at Dover, yes
terday afternoon, and urged con
. struction of the proposed State
Highway from Seaford to Reliance,
H distance of six miles. Tbs dele
gation was headed by Mayor John
R. Eskridge and members of the
City Council.
"jhts stretch of road is one of the
most used In lower Delaware. It
. is generally understood if it is re
built as a State Highway the Mary
land authorities will connect with
it from either Federalsburg, M<1„ or
link up the State Highway that
leads through Eldorado. Brookvlew
and Cambridge. The road will pass
through one of the best farming
sections in lower Delaware.
Officers John E. Martin and Wil
liam Gilbert, of this town, had «
thrilling encounter with an un
known automobile and Its occu
pants after midnight Sunday. The
authorities believe the occupants of
the car were members of an organ
ized brand of thieves, operating in
lower Delaware and the adjoining
counties of the Eastern Shore, or
rum-runners. Martin was on his
way home at High and Conwell
streets. He heard a motor coming
from the direction of West.Seafood
at a high speed. As the car drew
near he saw it had no lights, and
he signalled It to stop. Instead of
slackening speed, the driver tried
to run down the officer, who fired
five shots after the flying car.
Officer Hilbert, standing at the
corner of High and Arch St*., three
blocks away, hearing the shots and
thundering automobile, also ran
into the street and endeavored to
atop the car, but the driver also
tried to run ever hint.
When last seen the car was mak
ing for the main highway, leading
from Seaford to Bridgevllle.
In the absence Sunday night, of
Captain Paul Richardson, who was
spending the time with his family
on Market street, thieves visited his
vessel, lying at a dock here and
stole all the provisions aboard.
Thieves also visited the home of T.
Bowden, on the Boyce farm, in
Broad Creek hundred. They stole
a quantity of seed peas and other
things of value.

yes. I was graduated at the head

When the Bolden's big limousine
drove up, her anticipations were high.
There was much laughing and chat
ting, and finally they arrived at
stately Colonial mansion overlooking
the sea.
Everything was enchanting. It
was Jean's hour, she was just a gay,
fine American girl queening it over
l her devoted admirers.
I Of course the other girls were
surprised at Jean's popularity be
cause she had been pale, anemic and
tired looking for several years pre
I vlous. and they were talking about
It one morning when Gloria Kent's
brother who was walking near, asked
what subject was so interesting
When he was told, he laughed, and
said: "Jean is attractive because
