TELEPHONE. NO. 10.

The Smyrna Colony" idea in con-
nection with the new consolidated
High School Building is growing
apace in town and country, and with
some Clayton folks as well. While
some prominent Clayton citizens want
to see the building midway between
Smyrna and Clayton, the "Colony
idea" as it is unfolded, brings the
proposed consolidated schools on one
fine campus near to sewer, electric
lights, gas and water and with the
opening thru of Market street, and
the extending of the school campus
and agricultural experiment farm
straight back from South street,
across Frazier street to Lake Como,
is looked upon as the most ideal and
most advantageous of any site yet
suggested. It's growing idea, this
"school colony" site and one with con-
siderable merit on its side that other
proposed locations do not possess.
And both the local and State Board
cannot help but see the strong points
in its favor as time goes on.

BRIDGE AT CANAL IN JEOPARDY
Heavy Traffic Over r. R. At That
Point is Limited To One Track.

nedNy lEdmc over II. X. AT That
Point is Limited To One Track.
Adding to the already inundated
condition on the outskirts of Della
ware City was the storm of Sunday
which caused the dam west of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
bridge to blow out. The rush of
waters against the railroad embank-
ment became so strong that the rail-
ROAD company was unable to dump in
filler fast enough to prevent serious
damage to the bridge abutments. Car
load after carload of cinders were
washed away like so much chaff and
finally the railroad authorities
dumped several carloads of hard coal
without very materially checking the
wash. For time, Monday, it was
feared dynamite would have to be
used to clear the channel in the canal
so that the water might have free
way. The damage at the railroad
bridge over the canal on the Delaware
division will take several weeks to be
repaired. Large quantities of. earth,
trees and other debris have washed
down into the canal and it is closed
to heavy traffic. Colonel ]. P. Jervey
and Principal Assistant Miller, of the
U. S. Engineer Office, went to the
canal to make further arrangements
for expediting the. repairs.
Smyrna times., 1919-08-20

The additional losses visited on
Delaware farmers through the severe
storm of Wednesday night, coming
as it did so close upon the heels of the
extended period of rainfall that
blighted the crops, is a hard blow to
the men who worked hard and early
and late and whose crops are entirely
at the mercy of the elements. With
the wheat damaged or 40 per cent.
lost, and the oats in more or less jeop-
ardy, the blow to the corn fields will
most seriously embarass our agricult-
urists and almost turn their promise
of year of unusual prosperity into
failure, as we'll as to dishearten them
not little. There is a hope, though
it be small, that the crops yet in the
field have escaped with less damage
than the most recent estimate has
fixed. The life of the farmer for many
years has been one of hard toll, self
denial and loneliness and every one re-
joiced that they were making more
money than ever before and were able
to have some of the luxuries that all
of us cling to so tenaciously.
Smyrna times., 1919-08-20

1t is with sorrow and regret that
we chronicle the death of Thomas F.
Dunn, publisher of the Dover Index.
Like his father before him, he clung
tenaciously to business and issued a
good paper, and Delaware journalism
has suffered a distinct loss by his
death.

PERSHING PRAISES
AMERICAN WOMEN
General. on Hospital Inspection Tour
Declares Support Of Patriotic Women
Responsible For Americas Splendid
Showins-PreS.n Medals at Third
Division Review
lBy the associated Press. !

Coolcnz, March l1.-rraise for the
war was expressed by Gen John j.
fersh'nS, while inspecting rve Third
army evacuation hospitals here.
Without doubt America could not
have carried out her pat in the con-
dict as she did if il had not been for
the willingness and courage of the
nurses and others who came to care
for the sick and wounded in France
and the loyal support OF patriotic
women at home he said Despite
the fact that America was in the war
only a comparatively short time her
medical and hospital service was not
exceeded by hat Of any foreign nA-
ton
At each of the five hospitals he
talked shtormally to nurses, doctors,
and oroerlies, telling them Of the i'm
portant work still TO be done in car
ing for the sick and injured. He
talked to many OF the patients and
visited virtually all of the wards Of
the hospitals, where approximately
5000 Americans are patients. These
hospitals were erected ov the German
government and used by the enemy
during the war.
At one hos spital the commander in
chief visited a number Of American
soldiers who are neurasthenics. He
found them engaged in wood working
and in fashio1ing various souvenirs
from old German shell cases. Others
were sewing and doing odd bits of
work the plan of treatment being to
keep the mind of the patients on any
thing rather than themselves.
The men of the Third division Of the
American army VINO fought against
the Germans on the Marne in the last
great German drive were inspected re-
viewed and presented with decorations
by Gen. John J. Pershing this after
noon.
The review was held in the great
aviation field near Andernach, on the
west bank of the Rhine. The review
ing stand was in the center of the
field, the entire division sweeping by
on both sides of the commander n
chief when the bugle sounded Tor
ward"
In addition to two congressional
medals OF honor and other American
decorations, awarded the Third divis
ion, number Of French and British
medals were presented by General
Pershing to men of the Forty second
division who fought with the British
In northern France and of the Twenty
seventh division.
The medals of honor were given
Lieut.. George Hayes Of Okarcho, Okla,
and Corporal Barclay. OF Missouri.
At the battle of the Marne General
Dickman commanded the Third division

marched past the reviewing station.

cause Of Lack Of Funds.


Des Moines. March 1S.-The state
federal free employment bureaus are
practically going out Of business all

late steps to remedy the change and
