have a boisterous, albeit cheerful dis
position.
If TODAY is your birthday, the good
features of your character are ad-
versely influenced by aHectation-
Very few recognize in your actionS or
YOUR words the innate goodness OF
your heart as it is effectively camou-
tagged by your continued efforts to
seem to be what you are not and by
affecting those attributes which you
do not possess. If you could ohiy
make up your mind to be natural, you
would be much more esteemed and
appreciated by your friends, and, IN
addition, enjoy your self esteem
IL you could only appreciate how
this affectation of superiority induces
others to think less of you than they
otherwise would, you would soon
eliminate it. All the world enjoys
sincerity of words and actions, and
laughs at any pretensions which are
based on foolish Imagination and not
on reality.
In your home life, you are con-
stantly assuming airs which do not
correspond to your environment or
station in life: you are always striv-
ing to create the impression, even on
those nearest and dearest to you, that
you are superior, socially, financially
and intellectually, to friends around
you, and to actual conditions that
govern you
Your business is adversely affected
by the Same unfortunate trait; you
incur expense and waste your energy
| in order to convince others that you
are more flourishing and successful
than you, in reality. are.

is an awkward and forced imitation
of what should be genuine and easy,

landmark. Plans for the new bridges
over the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal were prepared by a firm of
which Mr.. Harrington is a member.
He addressed a recent session of the
State Legislature, by invitation, on
Delaware improvements.
For years the ocean has been
steadily encroaching on the historic
old landmark; until at the present
time only a few feet of sand sepa-
rate it from the waters edge. The
structure was several hundred feet
from the water when it was erected
years ago. Fearing that the old
lighthouse will be battered to pieces
within short time by a heavy north
east storm, the United States Gov
ernment has already constructed a
new light to replace the one which
the Wilmington ROtaries are at
tempting to save. 1t is valuable as an

STAFFORD VOTES
TO BUILD SCHOOL
Five To One In Favor Of The
$5O,OOO Loan For New High
School Building.

Seaford citizens showed conclus-
lively that they want a new high
school building, when at the special
election held there last Saturday,
they voted in favor of the school
bond issue, $4,000, the vote being
nearly to l in favor of the bond
issue. There were 255 votes cast for
the issue and only 68 against. Pre-
vious to the election the faculty and
school children staged a parade,
there being between 400 and 500 in
the procession. The school children
carried banners reading, Deliver Us
From the Fire Trap" "Vote for the
School Bond ISSUE" ETC., and were
headed by the high school band of
nearly 35 pieces, led by Professor C.
Russell Snyder. There was much re-
joicing among the school children,
local board of education, faculty, and
those favoring the bond issue over
the convincing result of the election,
which will put Seaford in line for
modern high school building with
the help of an appropriation from
the coming legislature and the
School Auxiliary Association.

Democratic Boston Post, leading
Democratic newspaper in New Eng
land, has announced its purpose to
support Calvin Coolidge for the
Presidency and to aid him to the
very limit of its power. The an
nOuncement was accompanied by
what probably was the most remark
able tribute to a Republican Presi-
dent seeking reelection that ever
appeared in the editorial columns of
a Democratic organ. "It is more
than our duty" The Post says, "to
support Calvin Coolidge, it is our
proud privilege. America still needs
those old New England virtues which
were born and bred in our President.
He is the best we have to give to the
nation"
1t required no small degree of
courage to swing from its own par
ty to the support of the Republican
nominee but The Post was equal to
it. Nor was the decision hastily
Two months have elapsed

and in that period there has been

and E. Benton Dennis, son of the late

This delegation took the members
of the Presidential party to En-
manuel Methodist Episcopal Church,

ing in the Mayors automobile.
The Presidential party had timed
the arrival for II o'clock, so the
services were delayed until that
hour, the pastor, the Rev. John L.
johnson, having been apprised con-
in advance of the visit.
At the church the visitors were
greeted by the pastor, who had been
urged to secrecy to avoid anything
in the nature of a demonstration.
The congregation arose as the Wis
itors were ushered to pews we'll for

When the President and his party
left the congregation again arose as
a mark of respect. The visitors were
