FUTURE BECKONS
YOUNG AMERICANS
Achievements of Past Only Show
Great Opportunity Ahead.

Great events of the past quarter cen.
fury which lead some young men to
complain that all the big things have
been done, leaving no opportunity for
them, as a matter of fact only go to
show that even greater opportunity
today lies ahead of them, F. N. Shep-
herd, Executive Manager Of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, recently
told. members of the American Insti-
tute of Banking in New York. After
reviewing the outstanding accomplish
ments in science, industry and finance
during the last twenty-five years, Mr..
Shepherd emphasized the reward given
men OF achievement in America, espe-
cially in the financial field.
1.-THE achievements of the past are
the groundwork for the opportunities
of today and tomorrow" he said
There never was time when so
great were the potentialities OF the in
dividual. The world was never 80
ready and able to pay we'll for what 1t
wants. For superior service to So
ciety under competitive conditions,
whether through invention or produc-
ton or organization or distribution of
useful articles, no reward is begrudged
particularly here in America
Adding to human comfort and hu.
man needs, these things make life
finer and better. The world has
shared, but it is in America that they
have reached their highest develop
ment and utilization. The American
spirit of useful enterprise, however
does not confne itself within our OWE
borders. 1t permeates the entire worlC
and renders great service to peoples
other than our own.
Let US pass over Americas service
to humanity in the war and consider
what is being done now. Largely te
rebuild the economic life of Worl(
shattered by the war and it's devastat
ing after effects, America has. since
the war, loaned other peoples over ter
billion dollars. Last year alone a bill
lion and half in foreign financing
was consummated in the United
States. American financial genius
has so far readjusted our banking ma
chinery to meet enlarged international
obligations that atupendous foreign
loans, such as the S100,000O 900 Dawes
plan credit to Germany, are conclud
ed and the books closed after being
open to public subscription only few
minutes.
with our new world viewpoints We
in America have many great things
yet to do. These things are typical OF
the broadminded world viewpoint OF
American finance. 1t shows the vision
necessary to the men who guide our
business affairs today. Certainly there
is an inspiration in this and the great
opportunities which await US"

CAULK-HART CONTEST AGAIN
Royden Caulks Friends of Blackbird
To Determine Validity of Case
If Elected for the Levy Court

While the decision of the court in
the suit of Caulk VS.. Hart, to deter
mine the contention of James A. Hart,
that he had been elected in 1924 for
a four-year term, appears to have
contemplated a two-year vacancy, be-
tween 1926 and 1928, to be filled by
appointment by the governor, the
Democrats evidently feel that they
are justified in placing on the ticket
for the elction next November, the
name of a candidate for member of
the Levy Court from the Seventh dis
trict. This district, a Democratic
stronghold, comprises Appoquinimink
and Blackbird hundreds. The Demo-
Gratis have nominated Royden Caulk
of Blackbird, while the Republicans
have made no nomination, on the
ground that the law, in their opinion,
authorizes no election there for Levy
Courtman between the years 1924 and
1928. As the matter now stands, in
the event of Governor Robinson MAX
ing an appointment, at the close of
the current year on the assumption
that there is vacancy, it is likely
that legal action will be taken in be-
half of Mr.. Caulk, the expectation now
being that he will be elected without
opposition. In the Caulk-Hart case
the courts decision contained the fol-
lowing: 'SThe conclusion reached by
the court will not seriously affect the
scheme of the statute, because if, at
the expiration of Hart's term, in 1926,
an appointment has to be made to fill
a vacancy for two years, because no
election can be held to fill the office
until 1928, there would be an election
to fill the office in that quadrennial
year and the rotation system, broken
for awhile, would be resumed and the
intent of the statute carried out"

HARRY BENEFITS SUDDEN END
6asps He Was Tired of Life While
Physician Tries Vainly to Save Him
Was Formerly of Near BIackbird

Borrowing a double-barreled shot
gun from a neighbor under the pre-
tense that he was going squirrel hunt
ing, Harry E. Bennett, "a years old,
of near Wyoming, used the gun on
himself on his friends doorstep about
10 o'clock Saturday morning. Ben
nett, who is said to have been de-
spondent over the death of his moth
er, who was Mrs. Frank Purse, of
Cheswold, last spring, went to the
home of w. c. Spence, near Wyom-
ing, and borrowed the gun. He start
ed to leave the house, but when he
reached the door he pressed the muz-
zle to his right side and pulled the
trigger. Shocked at the tragedy,
Bennett summoned neighbors and
doctor. Although his wound was a
mortal one, he lived about an hour and
half. He retained consciousness
long enough to gasp out to those
gathered obout him that his injury
was self inflicted that he had done it
deliberately because he was tired of
life. Coroner w. P. Ennis held an in
quest, rendering an open verdict that
Bennett had come to his death due to
a gunshot wound The body wos re-
moved to the home of his sister, Mrs.
John Biddle, of Blackbird. Bennett
was member of Mohawk tribe, No.
So, /. o. R. NJ, of Townsend. He was
born and reared near Blackbird and
was well-known in that section. Be
sides his sister, Mrs. John Biddle, Mr..
Bennett is survived by brother, Nor

SMYRNA OBSERVES LABOR DAY
BY CESSATION OF BUSINESS
BANKS, STORES AND BUSINESS
PLACES TAKE A HOLIDAY
Many Motor to Woodland Beach and
Other Resorts as Far as RehObOth
to Spend the Day-Quiet in Town

Monday, Labor Day, was observed
as a general holiday in Smyrna when
banks, offices, stores, shops and busi-
ness places, oil but ice cream stands
and eating houses closed for the day.
Coming as it did the day after Sunday
gave an opportunity for a weekend
outing to many and quite general was
it indulged in. Those who did not
motor to Atlantic City, Rehoboth and
other resorts, spent the time at home
or nearby resorts. Woodland Beach
got a full share and a lively time was
reported. Monday especially was a
picnic day for many. Thousands of
motor cars went down the Boulevard
and Monday evening the road was lit
terally filled with cars. To add to the
congestion, a thunder shower come up
in the evening. Hundreds of bedrag
gled and water-soaked pleasure seek
ers motored to their homes through
the torrent of rain which swept over
the State and turned the highways
into treacherous streams. The rain
was accompanied by vivid flashes of
1RnIulnS anu uedNy NSLOudI4OIl9 u
thunder and continued for more than
an hour. The storm was especially
severe between Smyrna and Dover
and in the twelve mile stretch retuln-
ing motorists declared there were
three cars to every mile ditched by
the roadside The slippery condition
of the highway and the binding rain
was given as the cause of numerous
mishaps but no injury was reported
to any of the occupants Of the ma
chimes. Many drivers pulled to the
sides of the roads and waited for the
storm to subside before continuing on
their way Many of the travellers
were returning from seashore resorts,
where they had gone to spend the
holiday and were caught in the storm.
Proprietors of the hotels and conces-
sions at the resorts We're sufferers
through the storm, as they have been
throughout the season, as it rained on

OLD ST. ANNE'S ANNIVERSARY
Hundreds Visit Ancient Edifice SUM-
day; Bishop and Judge Rodney Talk

The 221st anniversary of the found
ing of st. Anne's Church was cele-
brated Sunday when people from all
sections of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore gathered at the ancient edifice
to participate in the exercises. Quite
a number motored up from Smyrna.
Morning services began at 1890
o'clock with the hymn, go Forward
Christian Soldiers" and chants. Bis
hop Cook delivered the sermon. "That
struggle between a higher and lower
nature" he said, ais probably the
most ordinary experience of our lives.
It leads some TO become more and
more carnal minded; others to become
more and more spiritually minded.
The choice is open to US and we fol-
low one or the other and this follow
ing determines the kind of character
we ultimately achieve" Bishop Cook
contended that since both the body
and the spirit are the creations of the
one God, they have to live together,
and one cannot dominate to the ex-
clusion of the other. They have to
come to some kind of understanding.
There is the danger of moving too far
in the direction of either, he declared.
The afternoon services were featured
by an address by Richard S. Rodney,
associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of Delawore. Judge Rodney gave
review of the history of the church in
the state during the last hundred
years or more.

Suzanne's Latest Tantrum.

Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, French ten
mis- star, woman champion of, the
world in that game. but lately defeat
ed in England, possesses a tempera-
ment. She is decidedly difficult young
woman. She has manifested her &C.
casions. She aroused serious criti
cism in this country on her first APP
pearance here. In practically every
match that she has played she has en-
hibited bad craftsmanship, as judged
from the American and British points
of view Recently at Wimbledon she
aroused much feeling by her refusal
to play in a match at which the Queen
of England was present as spectator.
Now she has capped the climax by
suddenly deciding not to represent
ed at court, although arrangements
for her presentation have been made
by the wife of the French Ambas-
sador. Her explanation of this en-
traordinary and unprecedented per-
Torrance is that she wishes to return
to France and consult specialist.
Hints are not lacking, however, that
lntimations have been given that the
recent Wimbledon affair has caused
an unwillinSness at court to receive
the temperamental French sports
woman. However that may be, the
British public is agape over this dis
play of bad manners, and has come
to the conclusion that Suzanne, what
ever her prowess with the racket, is
intolerably lacking in the graces.
Suzanne has never been a good loser,
and therein she has failed despite her
remarkable ability as a player. Her
recent defeat at Wimbledon may mean
the passing of an always interesting,
though often troublesome, performer
on the courts.
