WATER SCARCE
SOME GAIN MADE IN SUPPLY At
RESERVOIR - MAINS CLOSED.
LAST NIGHT.

The water conditions Of the city are
ltill in a bad way. The water was
shut off last night during the hours
that the valves were turned of Satur-
lay and Sunday nights. The valves
will be turned again tonight and viii
probably be for several nights yet so
that the supply in the reservoir may
be replenlshed, However, there will be
water in the mains so that a ten
pound pressure can be maintained.
BY doing this in case Of special need
the water supply in the city can be
brought to pressure ofllfty pounds
in twenty minutes and ina short time
10 the normal pressure.

who proposed putting a fountain at
the enclosure around the standpipe,
are now consi5 HE triangle"
plot Just below the gas works on
Main street. This plan includes
concrete fountain and an enclosure
for a flower garden. This is a good
thought and if carried out will be .
very commendable act on the part
of our club women. This idea of
beautifying the approaches of Smyr-
ma is a good one and should be
heartily encouraged. Hardly day

that the present Congress of the
United States will enact a law
which will give to the people
parcels post, which can be carried
into effect with far greater ease
now than it could have been before
the rural delivery system was put
into operation. Delaware should
favor this great boom to the people
and request of the Senators and cur
Representative in Congress, to vote
and work for this great and benefi-
cial system of carrying parcels
cheaply. The express companies
will fight this to the bitter end, but
that should be all the more reason
why the law should be enacted.
Let's have the parcels post.

ROBERT D. HOFFECKEk,
Editor and Business Manager.

Some people, Smyrnians not ex-
cepted. are as superstitious to-day
concerning chance and good luck as
in We olden times. In commenting
upon this, one of our exchanges says:
Everyone knows that the horse
shoe is an emblem of good fortune.
Most of US will stop on the road to
rescue one from the dust. We have
a hazy notion that somehow this dis
carded equine footwear will bring
rs luck. We nail it up on the shed
door and wait for the fairies to be-
gin delivering their gifts. If it is
left lying in the road there is no
telling how soon we shall lose
money or break limb or meet some
other calamity. The old supersti-
tion comes out of a remote past.
1t is part of an early belief that the
horseshoe was a protection against
witches. Is said that for this rea-
son a horseshoe was at one time
nailed over nearly every door in
London. What value now really
inheres in Dobbin's old shoe that
YOU so carefully carry home? The
value of the old iron that you have
saved: the amount that the junk
man will give you for your treasure
no less and no more. As a guar
antee of fortune you may as well
haze -pa1 a IL eaa ora scrub
bing brush. We are led into a
discussion of luck, a subject on
which not all of US doubtless will
agree. We make bold to ask whether
there really is any such thing. May
we rightly speak of chance in this
universe? Does anything ever mere
" happen? Of course, the whole
spirit of present day thinking an
swers no. If there is one thing Of
which modern science is convinced i
is that the universe is one Of law
Every effect is preceded by cause
Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes
to pass without adequate groun'
deep down in the texture of tn
universe. And if all this is true o
nature. it is true also of humal
nature. Chance is ruled out of tn
moral world no less than out of tn
physical. Of course we must motto
that some meet constant success ]
this world while others meet equal
constant failure. Some find life
long hard way, while for others
is rose strewn. 1t is bad theor
and bad practice both to sit aroun
waiting for "Iuck" to bring US OF
desires. Success comes to tho:
who fulfill right conditions. "

are willing to pay in terms of labo
