By Beatrice Fairfax


About twice a day I get a letter
from some one who is just plain un-
happy" Life is drab for Jane or
John. Nothing happens to add a
touch of rose color in the dishwater
gray of existence. And with a cry of
WEAKNESS Jane or John shrieks out at

tiny happening of today There

author. And she had no data other
than the woman's name. I failed to
produce any information concerning
what the woman had written, but
suggested that at lunch time I'd stop
in at one of our big book shops and
ask for informa ton.
Said Anna: Perhaps I can save
you the trouble by telephoning.''
Within five minutes a, beaming
young woman stopped at my desk
and informed me that she had the
writer's country home address. (Yes.
we'd looked in the telephone book
before despairing of finding out for
ourselves).

Parents Of Weak,

A mother writes: My little girl
was weak, puny and tired all the
time, did not want to do anything.
Vinal was recommended,-itb built up
her strength and made her healthy.

other children and is robust and

DELAWARE AMONG
LEADERS IN THRIFT
INSTEAD OF 39th

Far from being thirty-ninth in
the scale of States as far as thrift
is concerned, Delaware occupies
the enviable position Of being
among the leaders in this quality,
according to figures submitted by
George L. Medill, State Banking
Commissioner. From a statement
by the National Association of
Supervisors of State Banks it is
shown that the average amount
held by each individual in the
country in banks is approximately
1920. In Delaware the average is
above $3.50 per person, according
to the same figures.
According to these figures the
total amount deposited in Della
ware banks is S68,2Sl, 1865, COM
! pairing more than favorably with
the amount deposited in other
states of almost double popula-
ton. The total resources of the
26 banks in the State covered by
the report amount to S76, 141 ,294
Of this amount more than $780,.
100000 are held as savings de,
posits, indicating better than any
other figures the thriftiness of the
people of the State.
According to Mr.. Medill, the
statement of the comptroller OF
the currency which gave Della
ware such a low rating in tht
thrift scale, covered only the ma
tional banks of the State, or abou
one-third of the total number o
financial institutions here. Mr.
Medill estimates there are approx
imately 100000 accounts with tn
banks of Delaware. Not allowin!
for any duplication of account
: this would mean that two-third
: of the entire population of tn
State have savings or at leas
=, checking accounts.

RehobOth Beach to Have
Municipal Parl

Rehoboth is to have its own
municipal park through the gen.
erosity of B. F. Shaw, of Whining
ton, who is one of the town COM
missioners. At the canal where
at present a number of boats are
kept, many persons congregate on
the boat landings to fish and catch
crabs. Mr.. Shaw saw the need of
resting place for people who
went there and secured the per
mission of the Commissioners to
make the grove at the top bank of
the canal, into a park. At his own
expense he will have the grove
cleaned out, rest benches and
tables for lunch built and larger
landing put in place. 1t will be
named Canal Park.

It is not given to all to say bril-

with. But to each is given the
higher privilege of saying kind
words. Do not envy the author of
that cutting epigram, nor the
originator of some profound phil
osophical theory, so long as you
have the chance to cheer and help
and inspire the hearts Of those
about you.
