COAL STRIKE SEEMS TO HAVE
REACHED SATISFACTORY END
MINERS IN SEVEN STATES ARE
SUMMARY ORDERED TO WORK
Smyrna, Without Coal, Elated Over
Prospects of Peace and Want to
See Retail Yards Supplied

The coal strike is about at an end
and work will start Immediately With
the settlement of the bituminous
strike the anthracite fields are expect
ed to come to a satisfactory settle
ment at the meeting to be held in
Philadelphia tomorrow. Smyrna,
like other towns and cities, is anxious
to see coal come into our retail coal
yards and hope that a famine has
been averted. The agreement ending
the soft-coal strike in seven States
was signed by operators and union
leaders at Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday.
Efforts are being made to extend the
peace agreement to nine fields not rep
resented at Cleveland. The anthracite
conference has been delayed a day.
Down state homes, business houses and
industrial plants face the possibility
of being compelled to burn soft coal
for heating, lighting and cooking pur-
poses next winter, according to facts
which have been brought to light since
the appointment by Governor Denney
of a coal commission for Delaware
And even soft coal will probably be
obtainable only in small quantities
According to a statement made by an
employee of the Sussex Gas Co., which
furnishes gas for Seaford. Bridgeville
Blades and Laurel, its plant will soor
close unless coal is received by the
latter part of next week. Wood is
also scarce in this section, or those
who have it are holding it for higher
prices. The same grade of wood that
sold for $4 per cord few years age
sells for So to $40 per cord now, anC
green slab wood is hard to get at any
price.

SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL MEETS
Allow A. & p. Store to Have Bulk
Windows But Restrict Extension

Smyrna Town Council met in regu-
lar session Friday evening with Presi-
dent L. NJ. Price, Secretary E. I. Por-
ter and all present. Norman w. Cole
man representing the A. & P. Chain
Store, who have leased the Cummins
Building formerly the Feed Store) at
the Four Corners, appeared to ask
permission for two bulk windows
about 18 inch extension over the side
walk. There was no objection to the
Main street window, but on Commerce
street where the pavement is narrow
objection was raised. Councilman
Wallen felt there should be no window
extension, that if window was need
ed there, let it be flush with the wall.
The majority of members, however
felt that in-as-much as two-foot step
at the Commerce street door had been
allowed to remain for several years,
there could be no reasonable objection
to a bulk window. The question was
finally compromised by allowing a II
inch extension to the bulk window,
said window to be rounded or beveled
at each corner. Secretary Porter
brought up the coal situation and re-
ported the town had enough supply to
last about four weeks. He said he
had received a letter from the coal
company saying they would ship an
other car load in a few days. After

CROWDS FLOCK BAY RESORTS
Number From Smyrna Join ThrOngs
At Bowers, Woodland and Slaugh-
ters Beaches and Oak Orchard

ters Beaches and Oak Orchard
"Big Thursday" was observed at
many of the beaches in Delaware
along the bay shore Thursday and the
country folks in this section of the
State took holiday. A number from
Smyrna joined contingents at Wood
land Beach, Augustine Piers, Kits
Hammock, Bowers Beach, Slaughters
Beach and Oak Orchard. The sum-
mer resorts to draw the largest crowds
were Bowers Beach and Oak Orchard,
it being "Big Thursday" at both
places. At Bowers Beach, besides
those from the surrounding county,
there were many present from Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Chester,
who journeyed there on the steamer
Frederick. The shore was lined with
automobiles and the beach dotted with
people. The usual rough element of
by-gone days was absent and little
"bootlegging" was in evidence. Oak
Orchard had the largest day in its
history. There were people present
! from all sections of Delaware. The
newly completed stone road through
MillsbOro connecting resort with the
dupont boulevard, making a concrete
road nearly all the way from any
point in lower Delaware, makes it
easy for automobiles to get there.
Many from Milford, as we'll as lower
Kent county, went to Oak Orchard.
Maryland was we'll represented and
hundreds from Sussex county were
present. The resort was so crowded
with automobiles that outside space
had to be provided. The origin of
"Big Thursday" grew out of an act
of the General Assembly of the State
providing for the open season for
catching oysters in the Delaware bay.
In the year 1852 an act was passed
making it unlawful for any person to
catch oysters in any creek or pond in
the State between the first of May and
the 10th of August, and as in the first
year the open season began on the
second Thursday in August, and as in
no year could the second Thursday be
earlier than the eighth, the oystermen
and their families as we'll as the cOun-
try folks near by made the second
Thursday in August a gala day to
watch the boats and crews set out for
their winters work. Since then the
' second Thursday in August has been
: designated at other resorts in Della
ware as a special day, has passed into
common practice as a day of COM
D munity gathering for farmers and
nearby residents. The reputation
that the Delaware resorts have fol
, "Big Thursdays" has now spread tC
> other States, and now many from
. Maryland and Pennsylvania make it g
practice to always be present and re-
: new old acquaintances.

FOUR YEARS TO FINISH CANAL
This Is the Report At the Engineers
Office in Washington, ID. G.

The work of constructing the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal will be
completed in three or four years it
was said Saturday at the office of
chief engineer of the army, at Wash
ington, D. c., who is charged with
the work. The appropriation of S2,-
100000 for the work in converting the
canal into a modern sea level water
way will be carried on as rapidly as
possible. The plans call for deepen
ing the canal from to IL feet at
mean low tide, the elimination of the
three locks which is impeding trans
portation. This will make the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal the same
depth as the New York Barge Canal,
which carries vessels of as large as
1000 tons.

RIDGELY QUITS AUXILIARY
Leaves School Board To Get Into the
United States Senate Fight

A special meeting of the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association was held
Friday in the DUPONT Building to ac-
cept the resignation of Henry Ridge
ly, Esq, of Dover. Mr.Ridgely has
announced his candidacy for Democrat
nomination of United States Senator,
and it is understood has resigned from
the School Auxiliary for the reason.
The Auxiliary has always been nom
political in policy. 1t is improbable
that a successor to Mr.. Ridgely as
member of the board of trustees of
the auxiliary, will be chosen at present
The organization has the administra-
ton of the funds given by P. S. du-
Pont for construction of school build
ings in Delaware. In political circles,
Mr.. Ridgely's resignation from the
auxiliary is viewed as indicating that
his friends intend making a strong
fight for his nomination at the Demo-
crat State convention in Dover, on
Tuesday, August 20.

DEFACING NATURES BEAUTY
Washington Herald Calls Our State
To Task for Allowing It-Calls
Move for Civic Pride


A former Smyrnian, we will not
mention his name, sends US a clipping
of an editorial article published in
The Washington Herald, which, as
our former citizen says is "as others
see u.s." He says he has often noted
the conditions referred to especially in
the northern portion of the State and
hopes that civic pride in Delaware will
ultimately remedy it. The Washing
ton Herald editorial in full, as publish
ed in its issue of July 18th, is as fol-
lows: Delaware is a sleepy summer
country of red barns and stacked
sheaVes. Its broken, rolling fields and
spired villages make up a picture of
rural affluence unrivaled along the At
lantic seaboard. It's farmers appear
contented and wealthy. They also, it
seems, have the least capacity for ar
tistic appreciation of any people in the
United States with the possible excep-
tion of some of the milionaires who
live along Fifth avenue, New York.
For they have allowed some vendor of
pills to cover their farm buildings with
ugly, disgusting, uncouth letters her
aiding the virtues of his particular
nostrum. These misplaced advertise
ments take all the poetry out of Della
ware. They are like the rattle of
kitchen dishes back of the stage dur
ing a performance of grand opera.
They strike one with the same dis
cordance as would result if a noted
clergyman paused in the midst of an
eloquent sermon and said: Brothers
and sisters, before | go further in my
discourse on the certainty of He'll
must call your attention to the special
sale of tin frying pans which will take
place at Jones' hardware store next
! Friday. Now, as | was about to say
He'll" 1t was filthy lucre indeed
that was used to persuade these Della
ware farmers to desecrate such Z
shrine of bucolic beauty. They have
consented to spoil the scenic appeal Of
their State for few pennies from the
pocket of a pill vendor. If the prac
tice were confined to Delaware the
rest of the United States would not bt
greatly concerned. But it is not
That State is only horrible example
Some of the loveliest Maryland ant
Virginia farmyard settings are mutil
ated by advertisements of one kind o
another. Were it not for strict regu
lations, we presume, the practic
woud have broken into the District o
Columbia. Across the front of tn
White House we might have some sucl
sign as this: "Take Smiths Live
Pills" Only State legislation vii
prevent such abuses. individuals
strange as it may seem, can not b
relied upon to set the dog on the flash
fellow who knocks at the farmhous
door with an offer of $40 for makin
the barn hideous."
