politics with the Federal Trade Commission. The

men. and that has been led 10 resort to gross

SMYRNA AND IT'S STREETS.
From the Smyrna Times.

From the Smyrna Times.
There is some talk in Council of
starting early to give improvements
TO Commerce street and other ma
cadam streets. The suggestion was
made Friday night that If Commerce
Mt. Vernon, South and Delaware
streets were resurfaced and treated
with a coating of tarvia. there would
be little if any need for a street
sprinkler, which was pointed out 10
be a heavy expense to the town. We
are not sure that Smyrna could get
along without a street sprinkler in
summer time. but this need not in
terfere with early action on tarvia
roadbed. They make nice, smooth
and substantial streets. In the dis
cussion Friday night it was determin-
ed to give consideration to the layin6
of a macadam roadbed on Union
street This much will probably be
done at any event if not more.

OLD DELAwARES MILLION.

coming from, but we are informed
that IL is sure to come, and the

Let the synic snecr and the pessi-
mism argue and contend, but educa-

object of the education would point to
the making of slaves. A thought will
not long be controlled n insists on

We want to see Delaware College

see Delaware College what it should

upside down and teach men to under

EVA TANGUAY.-There is a young
lady who is jolly, individualistic and
the best tonic for every man or wom-
an to hear. She probably has more
friends than any actress on the stage.
The secret of her success should be
the secret of every downcast woman's
uprising. If every girl would just
copy Eva Tanguay the devil and all
his angels could not push them down
to tears, misery, despair and ruin.
Eva says: ''Ha! The boys all talk
about me, but l don't care; l should
worry" The result is that when men
or woman, for that matter, talk about
her she don't care how much they
gossip or talk and it acts as a free
advertisement, making her more
friends than she had before.
What breezy relief she is to all
these people who are suing for $780,
900 damages; to all these fearful
women who are weeping because
some one is talking about them.
Come out of it! Smile if it hurts. "The
man worth while is the man with
smile when everything goes dead
wrong" 1t is just as true of women.
1t is not damage to be talked about
if we just smile until people come
fiocking irresistibly to our side from
all directions.
Come, downcast women, be tonic
to yourself and everybody else. Copy
little Eva Tanguay. You should wor-

Feeling Of Optimism and conhoenee

Nav York.-Secretary Lansing on
habaIf of the United States govern

tives of Brazil, Chile, Argentina 30
liua Uruguay and Guatemala on
August II signed an appeal addressed
m the leaders of all factions IN Mex
leo petitioning them in the name OF
humanity and national patriotism 10
cease their civil strife and assemble
a peace conference.
The action, taken after two hours
session, was not Of joint character
but identical, as an informal out
unanimous note expressing the views
of their several governments that the
condition of chaos in Mexico has in
iured the prestige of the nation
abroad and duplicating the Mexican
leaders and generals to make SUI
preme effort to bring together all ele-
ments In the creation of provisional
government that can be given world
wide recognition.
When the conference adjourned
Wednesday night lueIS WdS q AOCAAh6
OF optimism and confidence that de-
cisive step towards restoring Mexico
to her place in the family of nations
had been taken. The appeal, which
is brief and courteously phrased
called upon the Mexicans to consider
the Injurious effect throughout the
world which the constant turbulence
in Mexico has caused and suggests
that a peace conference be held on
neutral territory in Mexico. The
governments signing it express their
| willingness to act, If invited, in any
practicable way to assist in bringing
the factions together for the confer
ence.
The communication will be given
the widest publicity throughout Mex
leo and will be delivered by the diplo
matte and consular agents of the vari
Gus governments signatory to it. Re
plies are definitely asked for, the
hope being expressed that these will
be received within ten days after the
communication reaches the leaders
unless some just cause for delay pre-
sents itself.
