Stop that racket"
 How many mothers shout this at the children who go about the house singing?
 It may be that the songs seem like racket to a tired mother, but it would be far better to tolerate the singing than be bothered later by sulky, unhappy children.
 There is nothing better for the stimulation of the child's state of mind than singing or humming a tune. No tune-humming child is likely to be unhappy or breeding. It would be well for parents to do

But, beyond that, there Is actual healthful lung exercise to be had and the. type of breathing engaged in by the youthful singer Is excellent for lung development.
 So teach your children songs and encourage them to sing tunes, to make up their own tunes and thus stimulate their musical imaginations. Music will always be a mental con- fort in later years.

Don't be foolish, Ziz your imagination is running away with you" :. Well 1t will bring me back. Oh, Penny, do look at the view from here! And there's bridge-I sup pose that Is the bridge to which MT. Kent walked with the neighbor that night"
 Tt must be there's no other bridge nearby. Yes, see, he Come on down on the bridge, Zizi."
 The two went down the gentle incline of sloping lawn to the pretty little bridge that spanned the noisy, tumbling brook, whose musical ripple had been aided by judiciously placed stones in its course.
 Now, Ziz, take it in get the picture. Mir. Kent stood here, with the neighbor girl, at the time of the shooting. You can't see the house from here - look, you can see the roofs of it, but not the doorways."
 "Yes, I see that. Nor could you hear shot could your"
 T doubt it., But that doesn't matter. I'm getting at the time. All the people at the house are \ hay as to the exact time-I mean, to the minute, of the 'shoo4ag. They all say little before seven, -or near seven."
 Except the nurse"
 "Yes - she fixes it definitely - but, is she truthful?"
 "Why not?"
 'I don't know I've, not quite sized up that nurse yet. Of course she would know the time, and If she did tell the truth - it seems to tally with Rents account. He was here at this bridge at seven, exactly, and he started to walk up this hill"
 Hardly a hill, Penny just a gentle rise"
 Well. this gentle rise. then. Let's take the rise ourselves, and see how long it takes" They walked up the slope to- ward the house.
 1 I'm thinking now about an in- i truder, Zizi. You see, it was pretty much dusk at seven o'clock, and Kent couldn't be expected to sec any one skulking awas from the house, if the person took pains not to be seen."
 And especially If the observel had no thought of looking out for a criminal, and if the observer was as MT. Kent was, admiring the sun- set glow"
 That's all so and you must agree that if an intruder entered the sun parlor, just before seven and shot Douglas Raynor, he could make an easy getaway in the deep ening twilight without being seer by Orville Kent coming along where we are now"
 "All true - but you've no trace of a marauder. except in your imagination"
 There's the overshoe."
 "oh, pooh. the overshoe"
 Don't sniff at 1t, Zig; that over shoe means lot to me" 1 Maybe it was faked--"
 Maybe it wasn't"

Land Mark at New Castle Wanted for
New S125,OOO School, Citizens Object
In connection with the discussion
regarding a location for the new
school house, the town of New Castle
will build in the near future, cOnsid-
cradle discomfort has been registered
among the older residents of the
town upon the suggestion that the
old court house be torn down and in
its place the new building be erected.
The old court house, which is the old
est in the United States, is a histori-
cal Landmark of no little importance,
and marks the center of the town,
from which point the northern bound
airy of Delaware was marked, by Will
liam Penn. A number of residents
are advocating the plot of ground be-
tween the power house of the Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company and the Janvier farm, on
the Wilmington road. The New Cas-
| tie children and the Rose Hill chill
dren both could take advantage of
the building. This proposition, how
ever, is being objected to very strong
ly, as the larger percentage of resi-
dents feel that inasmuch as the build
/ ing is needed in New Castle, and the
necessary $125,OOO to be secured by
the bond issue will be forthcoming
from the taxes paid by the taxpayers
Of New Castle that it should be To-
Gated in New Castle and not outside
of the city.

When the race driver selects his tires he does so
realizing that his life and chances for success de-
pend upon them. 1t is significant that all of the
ten money winners in the indianapolis race were
Firestone shod. Firestone, using gun-dipping
and other special processes, has developed tires
to such high degree of efficiency that at Indian
apolis, May 30th, the following drivers broke the
worlds record for 500 miles thi- brick track,
making many rounds at over 100 miles per hour.
Never before were tires put to such grueIling
service, where it was necessary for every ounce
of rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in
perfect unison with every other part.
