Smyrna times., 1927-12-28

There will be surveys of propos-
ed roads for the construction of
some Of which contracts have
been awarded. The State has a
creditable and progressive rec
ord for the year, 1866 miles of
new highways having been built
and 32.15 miles of other roads
having been widened during the
year. We have done 50 much in
the highways that, comopara-
lively speaking, in so small a
State as Delaware there is not
much more to be done.
One important point is that
the roads built are being kept in
repair. That is right, and we
should thank the State Highway
Department. Not SO many years
ago in this county roads were
built and then permitted to de-
teriorate. The assumption seem
ed to be that after a road was
constructed it would care for it.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR SNEEZING
Coughing Without Use Of Handker-
chief May Put Germs in Others
losses.

Sneezing and coughing openly are
two of the best ways to transmit
common cold, DIR. Arthur T. Davis,
executive head of the State Board of
Health, points out. He warns about
the broadcasting Of germs, and not
to salute the universe when you sneeze
or cough. When its a case of sneez-
ing, sneeze into your handkerchief, he
says. If you have to cough, then
cough behind your hand and whatever
you do don't shake hands with any
one until you have washed them thor
oughly. If you are suffering from
cold, he urges the use of paper hand
kerchiefs if such are possible and then
destroy them. Colds, he says are
among the penalties Of civilization.
Particularly in cities it is hard to keep
out Of reach Of other persons germs.
One way Of avoiding a cold he says,
is to keep in as good condition as
possible, by eating nourishing food,
dressing according to the weather and
getting as much fresh air and sunlight
as possible and having plenty Of sleep.
DR. Davis also comments on other
ways in which colds may be distri-
buted. There is the common drink
ing cup, the roller towel, and wash
cloths. The wash cloth is especially
menacing and is most likely to be
found where there are a number of
little children. He also points out
ill-iudgment of father or mother
moistening their handkerchief in or
der to wipe off mark on the child's
face. That Is, if the father or moth
er has a slight cold. Another unwise
practice is to feed child from the
father or mothers plate. Bed is the
best place when a cold comes and af-
ter sending for the doctor DO what he
tells you, is his advice.

Former United States District
Attorney Reinhardt tells an in
teresting story abouot the pur-
chase Of that Delaware flag car
ried by our troops during the
Revolutionary War. The flag
and some letters were sold by
auction in London. Fortunately
Mr.. Reinhardt happened to be
about, and the Delaware Histor-
ical Society was determined to
get that emblem. 1t was cap
tured by a British captain from
the Delaware troops. There is
no doubt about the flags being
genuine.
CuIiously there were thirteen
bidders for the flag and the let
ters, and Delaware got them on
ly by going higher than the 9TH
ers.
In some respects it is strange
that this matter did not come up
before, but the great majority
Of our people practically all,
knew nothing about the flag OF
its history. The average citizen
knows little about the exploits Of
the Delaware troops during the
Revolutionary War or during
any other war. Why do not the
schools adequately teach Della
ware children about these mat
terS.
The flag incident calls the en-
tire question to mind. We again
get some idea of what the Della
ware soldiers did during the
Revolutionary War, their sacri-
fees and sufferings that present
day persons may enjoy the fruits
Of their sacrifices.

nedy and n faction headed by Rev.
G. A. Jaynes. whom Mrs. Mcpherson
named as the new business manager
of the temple Saturday after remov-

made the following proposals:
II. That Mrs. Kennedy remain at

"2. That Mrs. Kennedy take COM

Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy refused to

Roy Ahearn, a pilot who witnessed
the crash on a field conducted by the

the fact that there was an auxiliary
control stick in the forward seat occu.

Everything points to the fact that
one of the men seized the stick and
pulled it," he said. 1.-THE effect was
to head the nose of the plane straight

captain was seriously injured and
several other firemen narrowly os-
capped injury when the wall of ware
house of the Maury-Cole CO., manu-
facturers of Canova food products,

Damage in the blaze was estimated
at $4,000 and only prompt action by
