Tho Quaker Ronnet.

1 have heard that there is as much
technique in the making of the bonnet
of the olden pattern for the Friends
as there is in the japanese art Of
drinking tea. In Ohio there is a Sec
tion that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there is another in Iowa
that still keeps to the characteristic
costume; in NewYorkin a settlement on
both sides of Lake Cayuga are Friends
who follow the simple, historic fash
lon; and in FairhOpe, Ala, single tax
settlement very largely settled by
Friends, are others. Much Importance
is attached to what is called the lex
preston" of the bonnet. In the very
simplicity there is quite as much room
for the manifestation of a particular
taste as in the more elaborate millin-
cry of "the worlds people" Even to
half hair things must be right. The
finished product comes In for a close
critical scrutiny at every possible an
gle. The true Friend abhors display
and self-advertisement,a and, therefore,
she does not care to have it known
when a fresh bonnet is bought. That
is why each must be the same as the
one that preceded it.-Philadelphia

LEARNING TO BE A CIVILIAN
Discharged British Soldier Testifies
That He Finds New Feeling
Out Of Uniform.

Is the glamor of uniform wearing
off?
After three years of service clothes
have just spent my first days in
civilian attire. Surprising to tell,
believe l have met with more civility
out of uniform than in it, ar. G."
writes in the continental edition of the
London Mail.
Two possible solutions Of this re-
markable attitude occur to me. The
first is that most officers appear to be
rather stern and stand-offish in uni
form. The other solution. and per-
haps an. equally probable one, is that
the public is getting tired of seeing
so many officers going about aimlessly
with apparently nothing much to do
except to spend money and kill time.
Naturally, suppose, when 1 first
went out in "civvies" l had the in
grained inclination to salute all su-
perior officers met and to prepare to
take salutes from the ranks. It took
me the best part of day to overcome
this impulse.
The "sir" habit was very strong, too
On my first morning as a civilian I
had to see colonel at the war office
on business-business in which our
standing was at least eQual-and l
Immediately "sirred" him, of course.
Force of habit, pure and simple.
Again there is the matter of running
after an omnibus or across the road
in uniform one tries to make a point
of not doing these things. Now, how
ever, when example" has not longer
to be. considered. 1 find 1t practically
impossible to chase an omnibus or
flee from an OncOming taxicab. The
instinct is against ding so.
Apparently it is lust as necessary to
relearn how to be a civilian as it
once was to learn how to be a soldier.

SKlLLFUL PIECE OF WORK
Novel Feat of Engineering Recently
Put to the Credit of American
Bridge Builders.

Not long ago it was discovered that
the piers of the combined highway and
railroad bridge across the Missouri
river at st. Joseph, Mo-, were in bad
condition and it would be necessary
to build new piers. At first it was
proposed TO build the new piers on
the downstream side of the old bridge
and shift the bridge laterally to the
new position. in this way maintaining
traffic over the old bridge while the
new construction was going on. But
the war department required the in
stallatiOn of larger draw-Span in the
bridge and so it was decided to build
the new piers between the old piers.
After they were completed, the fixed
spans of the bridge were moved shore
ward endwise, so that they rested on
the new piers. A temporary span was
constructed to fill the gap thus Oc-
casiOned. so that traffic was closed
over the bridge for less than ten hours.
Then work was begun upon the new
swing span, which was built as a can't.
lever in open position. To permit of
this. a portion of the old swing-span
had to be cut away and a temporary
lift-span was put in to take care of
river traffic. Thus the bridge was re-
constructed without changing its
alignment.-Scientific American.

When the facts become known as
to the working of the New School
Code in Delaware the people are
reconciled to give the school laws a
fair trial, and aftermuch violent agi-
tation, which was almost entirely
along partisan political lines, the last
of the Special School Districts in Del
aware has accepted the new laws and
come under the operation of the law.
The only place now which has not
acted favorably upon the law is the
City of Wilmington, and we firmly be-
lieve that the real bone of contention
there is the poll tax, which every cit
izcn must pay for the up-keep of the
p.ylc schools, which is CALLING to the
working class of Wilmington. They
have not for twenty years paid one
cent of school taxes, and they are will
ling that the owners of real estate
shall educate their children for them

With the consolidation of the Smyr-
ma Schools into a Smyrna Special
District" which will include the
schools of Clayton, Alley, Brenford,
Nelson and Severson, and the accept
ance of same by the Kent County
Board of Education, it behooves this
district to be one of the first to take
advantage of the offer of Pierre S. du-
Pont, who under the terms of his re-
cent two million dollar gift, agrees to
bear half the expense of a consoli-
dated High School Building. With
progress so far made our school board
has most important duty to per-
form. The selection of a suitable
site for a 100000 High School Build
ing is one that should be studied
from all angles, the nearness to the
center of greatest population, the
proximity to water, sewer, electric
lights and gas, and the most advanta-
geous spot where fire protection is
always available. Smyrna has all
these advantages, therefore it would
seem most practicable to have the
new building as near to these public
utilities as possible. If the Smyrna
Clayton road, which seems to be most
talked about, then let the building be
in or near enough to Smyrna to share
the public utilities and not out beyond
the reach of them! It's an important
step and no mistake should be made
to see that every advantage of health,
fire protection, as well as location be
taken into consideration. Smyrna has
the best and purest water to be found
anywhere. Smyrna's sewage system
is model OF its kind, and with gas
and electricity right at hand, it can
be readily seen the necessity and i'm
pOrtance these utilities can be at
tached to the building of a modern
and up-tO-date high school building.
Add to this the splendid Volunteer
Fire Company of Smyrna, with its
modern and up-to-date chemical eng
inc and fire fighting equipment. Then
Smyrna, being the largest of the five
districts consolidated, should bear the |
name and prestige of the most mod
ern school of its kind in the State.
It's a serious question that confronts
our School Board. Let them make
no mistake.
