The enthusiasm of the Smyrna
Board of Trade and the Smyrna
Town Council in having the Dupont
Boulevard run through Smyrna IS
growing apace. Last Friday night
a committee of the Board of Trade
appeared before Council in the in
terest of inviting the official coop
Grafton of Town Council in this and
other matters pertaining to the in
drstrial and commercial life of
Smyrna. Chairman ]. E. Hoffecker
of the Board of Trade Committee
put forth strong plea for concerted
action and wound up by reading the
following editorial from the Will
mington Evening Journal on the
question of "The Road and the
Towns - Residents of some of
the Delaware towns have expressed
fear that the DUPONT road will
not go near them. They seem to
think that it will go in an out-of-
the-way place, and that the citizens
will be forced to pay for the main.
tenance of the highway, although
they will get no direct benefit from
it. Some of the fearful ones even
say that so far as they are concerned
there might as we'll be no highway
if it is to shun the towns and centers
of population. According to the
statement of General DUPONT the
plans as to the direct route of the
road are as yet very indefinite. Gen
eral DUPONT is open to suggestions,
and as time goes on he will want to
hear from the people. He Gays there
is strong sentiment in some places
III favor of the road going through
the towns.
With reference to this question of
the road going through the towns,
General DUPONT spoke in his inter-
view as follows: The streets are in
many instances too narrow and
crooked and are not likely to run in
line parallel to the proposed road.
No arrangement has been made with
the municipal authorities; each case
must be handled separately accord
ing to local circumstances. Assum-
ing that the Commissioners feel a
location through certain town is
desirable and that town wants the
road: If the town would give a
right of way from it's northern to
its southern boundary, say one hun

parallel to the survey of the road,

Portuguese Burial Custom.

They have an unusual mode Of burial
In Portugal. Instead Of the headstones
and monuments Of the graveyards Of
other countries the cemetery Of Lisbon
shows rows and rows Of tiny chapelS
ranged in long avenues bordered by
cypress trees.
The Portuguese are reluctant to bury
their dead out Of sight, and these
chapels serve as mortuaries for the cof-
ms, which are placed on the shelves
within. Through the iron grills the
eye dlscerns small affairs and flowers
cleaning through the subdued light Of

rangement-sImple Furnishings
Always the Best for Such an
Apartment.

The first good result Of . playroom
is the freedom and peace It gives to
the entire family. The children have
q place where they legitimately be-
long, to which they may be sent when
family councils make their presence
undesirable. They also have a place
for their playthings. which will cease
to litter the house at large. AS soon
as they have a room Of their own
they may be taught to understand
something Of the rule Of mine and
thine. A child without a room OF his
own is in an unenviable position. He
lives in a place where he has no
rights and no interest. He takes his
meals in the dining room and he
sleeps in a bedroom-probably shared
with someone else, but in neither Of
these has he any possessions or any
interest except eating and sleeping.
The living room is precarious place
to start anything in, as It is uncertain
when 1t will be needed by some one
else, and If anyone is already there,
play IL sure to disturb him. He has
no place to do anything. When. In
desperation, he takes one he becomes
an annoyance.
The ideal playroom has nothing In
It except what is needed. 1t is a room
that grows. II children are young,
bare whitewashed walls are best.
They can be decorated to suit the
varying fancies Of the children, and a
fresh coat of wash each year will at
a small cost present new clean sur
face for the next stage Of their de-
velopment. When they are old enough
to want wallpaper, let them select 1t.
Let It be the cheapest possible. so
that 1t may be renewed at a small
cost. AS for pictures, the unframed
prints will satisfy aesthetic tastes for
many a year. and when the desire for
framed finished pictures comes the
fever for passe-partout Will come also
and give an inexpensive method Of
decoration. II the room Is a warm
one no carpets are necessary, and in
any event washable rugs are the best
floor covering. An unstained table Of
white wood, a good-sized closet and
couple Of chairs Of the right height
are the only furnishings needed. The
toys of the children will make the
room complete. and extra furnishings
will come as the room grows.-Har.
