MAY NOT BE REPAIRED

When it was learned Friday that the
Kent county Levy Court had refused tc
award the contract for the new road tc
the lighthouse, the citizens of Bombay
Hook Island gave up all hope of having
the Woodland Beach road repaired in
time for this seasons trade. It will take
the contractors six weeks to build the
lighthouse road after the bid is given out
and work on the causeway to Woodland
cannot be commenced until that is done.
1t looks as if the breaks in the banks
near the lighthouse which are responsible
for the bad condition of the Woodland
road will cost the county several thous-
ands of dollars, although the road is sell
dom used, while on the other hand the
causeway leading to Woodland is in con-
slant use. This piece of road has cost
100000 in eighteen years, a sufficient
amount Of money to have bridged the
two miles of marsh. If the Kent county
trolley company runs its line to the beach
it may assist in building the causeway,
but it is not thought the company will
extend the trolley to the bayside on ac-
count of the length Of the marsh and the
cost of placing bridge across it.

WILL IMPROVE THE COLLEGE

A meeting of the trustees of Delaware
College was held Friday. They met to
hear the report of the Committee on Re-
pair and Improvement of the College
Buildings. The committee made its
report, in which it recommended an
addition to each wing of the old dormi-
tory building and a thorough renovation
OF the entire building. The additions
to the original college buildings to be
sixty-fve feet long and thirty feet broad,
and erected across the east and west
wings respectively, to occupy not more
than 10 feet Of each wing. This will
make great improvement and will make
OF the old structure handsome building.
Many are sorry that the old building is
to be changed in any way, as its historic
appearance carries with it many pleasant
memories Of years gone by.

HAIR AND CHARACTER

Did you ever notice that people of yer,
violent temper have always close growinl
hair? 1t is fact that every man having
close growing hair is the owner of de
cidedly bad temper. 1t is easy enough
for me /, note at a glance how a man;
hair grows. Then l know how to handle
him.
Men of strong temper are generally
vigorous, but at the same time they are
not always fixed in their opinions. Now.
the man with coarse hair is rooted to his
prejudices. Coarse hair denotes obstin-
acy. 1t is not good business policy to
| oppose man whose hair is coarse. The
eccentric man has always fine hair, and
you never saw man of erratic tenden-
cies who at the same time had a sound
mind who was not refined in his tastes
Fair hair indicates refinement. You
may have noticed that men engaged in
intellectual or especially in aesthetic pur-
suits, where delicacy is required have in
variably fine, luxuriant hair and boards
The same men, as class, particularly
painters, are always remarkable for their
personal peculiarities.
The brilliant, sprightly fellow has gen
orally curly beard. If not, his hair is
curly. It's easy to bring smile to the
face of man whose hair is curly. He
laughs where colder natures see NOTHING
to laugh at.
There is a great difference between
coarse hair and hair that is harsh, thoppb
1t requires an expert to distinguish it.
For example, mans mustache NAV be |
as fine as silk and yet cannot be trained |
to grow into graceful curve. That's be-
cause the hair is harsh Now, people
whose hair is harsh have amiabe but
cold natures. They are always ready to
listen, but it is difficult to arouse their
feelings. In men of this disposition the
hair of their heads is generally-in fact
almost always-of shade darker than
their boards. When the beard is full.
covering the entire face, the color varies
from dark shade near the roots to red,
which colors the ends to the hair. These
men have very rarely good memory.
They forget easily and often leave cane
Or an overcoat behind them in the bar
Der shop. They are great procrastinators
md are bad at keeping appointments.
Think over your acquaintance and
zee if the man who is habitually slow
las not a mustache or beard of lighter )
hade than his hair. It's always the q
ase. These are the men who come in .
