THIS CITY AND THE PENINSULA.

A S THE excitement of the election is over
\ it will be we'll for Delawareans and Viii
minptonians to settle down to strictly business
matters and work for the advancement of Della
ware The Board OF Trade naturally is expected
to take the forward step. The Peninsula Board
Of Trade project should be pushed to a success
fuI issue 1t has been shown that one OF the rea-
sons why Wilmington is not in closer commercial
touch with the remainder of the Peninsula is be-
cause OF transportation rates This is a subject
in which all people OF the Peninsula are inter
ested.
Wilmington, in order to gain business from the
lower counties of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, must have reasonable rates,
and on the other hand the farmers and producers
of the Peninsula should have fair rates if they
wish TO send their products not only to Whining
ton, but to other markets. A live and progress
sive Peninsula Board of Trade can do much to
secure better rates and create a larger bond of
sympathy between the city and the rural dis
tricts.
And the merchants of the city should do their
part towards drawing trade to Wilmington They
should let the people of the lower counties know
what they have to sell and that the Wilmington
merchants can supply their wants as well as can
the merchants of other cities. Yet there are many
merchants who do nothing in the way of public
ity. There is a smaller percentage OF advertising
merchants in Wilmington than there is in almost
any other city OF the size in the Eastern States.
Let the merchants do their share in working for
the interests Of the city The advantage will be
mutual

HALT FOOTBALL BY INJUNCTION.

HE encouragement of Illinois dislikes foot
= ball. and he proposes to halt the playing
Of it in the Western State by an appeal to the
courts Attorney General Moore will ask the
courts to issue injunction against the sport ON
the ground that it is prize-hghting True some
OF the players look like prize-hghters after the
game has been ended, but the change in the rules
has modified somewhat the character of football
The attoruey-general also intimates in his peti-
ton that the game should be stopped because il
~o0courages profanity among the players. On the
other hand the Richmond Journal suggests as a
defence that the game is prayer meeting. as
during most OF the contest the players are lining
up on their knees
1t is also suggested that il the players are in
dicted for prize fighting the thousands OF specta-
tors also should be proceeded against for aiding
and abetting prize-fght Government by in,
junction is great thing, and the attorney-genera
OF Illinois may be able TO develop its possibilities
along new lines Everything could be regulated
by injunction if the encouragement OF Illinois
wins out in his anti-footbal crusade

The pleasant Voice

II you stop TO realize that the most
glorious music ever written loses its
beauty when played upon harsh and
tuneless instrument, then you can ap-
preciate how your best phrases, when
spoken In a nasal, undiscipined voice
actually hurt the ears OF your hearer.
No less famous. person than Demos
themes appreciated that his ideas could
never hold the attention Of any audi
ence II he expressed them IN sharp
and strident tones. Consequently that
greatest OF all orators gave the most
earnest and patient attention 20 the
mastery OF his naturally unmusical
voice before he attempted 70 speak TO
the Athenian people, and, in small
way. IL q quite easy for anyone 10 do
just what DemOsthenes did The way
to give smOOthness and sweetness 10 a
high, harsh voice Is TO use the simple
device OF persistently speaking one
whole octave lower than that which Is
ordinarily and carelessly employed
This brings the voice under control,
and this Is what gives the voice Of
nearly every Southern woman that nice
distinction that enables us to tell IN
an instant from what part OF this big
continent she comes. no matter when
or where we may meet her.

Rules About the Hot

and their wearers that should be RICHLY
followed If a woman has a thin face
and is inclined 70 be sharp-featUred. lie .
her beware of hats that go up or her
face.
This kind Of hat only tends to OUT
line her defects and she should choc Sc
a nat that IS brought well forward
Her hai.-. TOO, should be loosely ar
ranged and never drawn back in a
plain fashion. Sharp or smart hats
should be always avoided and fancy
edges adopted.
II one has features that look good at
a casual glance, but viii not bear in
spection, a hat crushed ir and pulled
out with many corners ana angles will
be her most becoming design
This tends 10 mystify, and one finds
herself unwilling TO investigate-the ef-
feet IS too good TO unbalance.
A small face should deal Warily with
the picture hat. II IS very liable 20
have it's saving graces drowned IN the
depths OF the enormity and should never
be attempted by anyone who has not
the height sufficient TO carry.
A well-formed face can show on most
any model and IT is with this sort OF
face IN view that most designs are ere
ated.

How 10 Clean a Few
Household Utensils

II Is not sufficient TO wash recepta .Ies
OF various sorts. not dishes, with water
ana perhaps soap: any one who has
thoroughly washed out q supposedly
clean" deep flower vase will testify TO
that. Therefore. few hints on the
subject are perhaps in order. For these
same vases, for instance, the best thing
is TO mix a gill Of vinegar and a table
spoonful OF rock salt. and pour into the
vase. shs king well, and allow It TO stand
little while. Then shake well again
and rinse with clear water
For washing bottles OF vinegar cruets
save eggshels in paper bag. Crush
them fine, put into the cruets with
warm, soapy water and shake well
This VIII clean and not scratch The
finest glass.
When a baking pan gets burned in
using, put a little water and asher IN
It. and the burned surface viii cone
on easily without necessitating scrip
ing. This viii not injure the dish For
ordinary frying pans rub well with a
hard crust OF bread and wash IN hot
water. This, too, avoids scraping, which
is likely TO cause future burning.
