funds left, but information come from

CiESW0LD Man DRINKS ACID,
DIES At DOCTORS IN Smyrna
F. E. PATTERSON, FORMER DO
YER MERCHANT, A SUICIDE
Had MOtOred From Wilmington Thru
Smyrna and Had Machine Stopped
Below Smyrna and Drank Liquid

Some excitement was had around
the "FOur Corners" Saturday evening
when Frank E. Patterson of Cheswold
was taken to the office of DIR. w. C.
Deakyne, a victim Of suicide. He had
taken a draught of carbolic acid and
though restoratives were administered
it was too late. The fluid had gotten
in its deadly work. No reason for the
act was given, and after hearing the
evidence in the case the Coroner's
jury rendered a verdict of "death by
taking poison with the intention of
committing suicide" His body was
taken to Dover from which place in
telment will take place. Patterson,
who was go years old and leaves a
wife and ten children, was in company
with Mrs. Maud Mayberry, of Ches-
void, when he took the poison. Ac-
cOrding to the woman she met Pat
terson in Wilmington and he asked
her to drive him home in her car. Of
fering to pay her SO for the rtip.
She agreed to do so and the pair
started toward Dover. When they
reached Smyrna he told her that he
wanted to see Al Rawley, in Smyr-
ma, and they drove into this place.
Mrs. Mayberry said that she waited
in the car for him and when he came
out he said that he did not see the
man with whom he desired to talk.
According to Mrs. Mayberry she then
drove the car back to the Boulevard
and was about three miles below
Smyrna and near the Marrison farm
when Patterson asked her to stop the
car. She did so and Patterson got
out of the car. He was gone some
time in a direction back of the car
and when he returned he appeared to
be in a serious condition. He was
near callapse and his moth was burn
ed and he was frothing at the mouth
and vomiting. Mrs. Mayberry asked
him what was the matter and he said
nothing. Seeing that the condition of
the man was serious Mrs. Mayberry
drove to the nearest farmhouse and
asked the occupants to telephone for
help. The people in the house saw
the condition of the man and advised
the woman to drive with haste to a
physician in Smyrna. She drove the
car to the Office of DR.. w. C. Deakyne
in Smyrna, where Patterson was Civ
en- treatment by the physician but he
died in a few minutes. Coroner w.
d. Ennis, of near town, was notified
and an inquest was held at once. Pat
terson formerly kept a secondhand
store in Dover, but later opened a
store in Cheswold. He is said to have
been seeking a location for a business
in Wilmington. Patterson was being
held for trial in the local courts on a
charge of nOn-suppOrt which was
Lodged against him by his wife. The
case was scheduled for the recent
March session of the court, but was
postponed and was to have been call
ed later this month. Patterson ap-
peared at the office of the deputy at
tOrney-general at Dover last Thurs
day. He was at liberty under $500
bail.

PEACH ORCHARDS COMING BACK
"YellOws" Which Ruined Industry 80
Years Ago, Has Disappeared and
New Orchards Show no Trace of 1t

New Orchards Show no Trace of 1t
There is no reason why the Del
mava Peninsula should not regain its
prestige as the leading peach-growing
territory in the United States, DR.. E.
c. Auchter, head of the department
of horticulture of the University of
Maryland, said Monday. Time was
when Delaware and Eastern Shore
peaches were as noted a product as
California or Florida oranges are to-
day. That was thirty years ago, be-
fore "peach yellow" wiped out an en-
tire industry. Shortly before the ap-
pearance of the blight no section of
the country could compare with the
Peninsula as a peach-growing terri
tory. In the last six or eight years,
however, experiments have shown
that the disease has disappeared and
that orchards planted within that time
have shown no trace of it. That was
the statement DIR. Auchter, who, with
Prof. w. Z. WhitehOuse, fruit-grow-
ing expert of the same institution,
has just completed an extensive sur
vey of the principal peach, pear and
apple orchards of the nine counties on
the Eastern Shore Of Maryland. The
specialists also say Orchardists should
use fertilizer containing nitrogen.
Scientific tests have shown that this
ingredient is the only salvation of
fruit trees and that it is especially
adapted to the soil here-abouts. In
connection with 500 peach and apple
trees at Salisbury, experimental plots
fertilized with nitrate of soda, it is
said, have shown three times the pro-
ductive power of check plots without
fertilizer. The use of acid phosphate
and muriate of potash, said DR..
Auchter, has shown negative results,
since these fertilizers contain no nit
rogen. In the course of one of the
most important tours ever made in
the interest Of orchardists, visits also
wer made to the large strawberry res
evatiOns of w. F. Allen at Hurlock
Experiments with 500 fruit trees in
the orchards of Senator Orlando Har-
rison, at Berlin, have proved that
there also nitrate Of soda has brought
the best results. The prospect for
peaches and pears in the lower part
OF the Peninsula, it is said, is excel
lent. Near the Wicomico County seat
peach and apple orchards were in
spected. No injury to the buds was
found after a hard winter and the
trees are budding well. Spraying for
peach curl" should start not later
than today, the fruit specialists said,
since this process should be complet-
ed before the buds break, and it is de-
clared, a few warm days will bring
out the buds. Nitrate of soda should
be applied to orchards not later than
the third week in March.

do not come from you they come through you. Those of you who boast of your Pilgrim ancestry, it is estimated that there is about one tenth of a drop of that blood in ten thousand.
 Even children reared In the best of homes in the past have often suffered from certain evil influences because psychological facts neces- sary to intelligent child training were lacking. Hence the ghosts of the past were not all good ghosts. Some evil influences haunt lives that would be entirely different if par ents had had information that has been acquired recently by psycho- logical experts. We will name some of the ghosts that influence. often times without our knowledge, our thoughts and actions.
 "Sigmund Freud has recently brought into being a new field of thought in which the emphasis is on the unconscious. He says that we are affected all the time ih our daily lives more by the unconscious than the conscious. Everything we do and say and think is registered in the mind and brain. Most of it is forgotten, but it is still there. Freud says that the impressions that have been coming into our lives make an impression on us and are forgotten, develop all sorts of con- pleXes.
 This has a lot to do with the moral life, and many young men and women have gone wrong, and couples have been separated because before they were married wives have received impressions that made inn possible normal relations in the home; husbands have received inn pressions that have made impos- sible normal family life"

VOLUBLE CONVERT
 DISCHARGES CHURCH
Not Welcome in Best Pulpits,
 Dr. Vaughan Says.

The type of evangelist or reform ed sinner who publicly rehearses the misdeeds Of his past and points to himself as a shining example of ing" is not popular in the best ec- clesiastical circles according to statements made by pr. D. D. Vaughan, professor of sociology and theology at Boston university, in his talk to Everyman's Bible class yesterday morning.
 T never would allow that kind of advertising in church of mine." said Dr. Vaughan. "If man got drunk and lay around in the dirt and filth of the gutter and then re- formed and boasted about it, neN- CT would allow him to speak from my pulpit. It is disgrace to the church to allow it. The child which grows up a credit to the church Is the one which is dedicated to God before 1t Is born, which is the mod ern idea in religious education"
 Dr. Vaughan began yesterday a series of discussions of applied psychology from Freud He told of how person can be killed by sug- gestion, causing a psychological death," saying:
 Every day. and every hour of the day our lives are blessed or cursed by ghosts of the past. These help to determine our thoughts and our conduct. We must give them care ful consideration in order that we may correct evil influences affecting our own lives and prevent evils that threaten our children.
 Certain things are settled for us when we are born-those things that are determined definitely by biological inheritance. e. g.. we are not born animals of a lower order, but human beings. Inheritance de- termines race, features, eyes, hair. etc. Sex Is settled before birth.
 Besides our biological inherit ance, we have social inheritance, 1. e., we are born into a certain home, a certain religious or social group, certain town and nation. Some biological handicaps may be overcome by ideal environment, and frst-class biological inheritance may be annulled by evil environment.
 Even children reared in the best of homes in the past have often suffered from certain evil influences because psychological facts necS- sary to intelligent child training were lacking. Hence the ghosts Of the past were not all good ghosts. Some evil influences haunt lives that would be entirely different if par ents had had information that has heen acquired recently by psycholo- gical experts. Below we name some of the ghosts that influence, often- times without our knowledge, our thoughts and actions.
