A LESSON
(Contributedl

Mrs. Elizabeth F. Hesser, who was
Miss Elizabeth Myers, and niece of
Mrs. Ella T. Griffith, and who spent
many happy hours of her girlhood
here and loved Smyrna,will be remem-
bered for her beautiful voice in song
and recitation. She still sings Won
derfully. The following verse en-
titled "a Lesson" is one of her recent
compositions:
Winter fingers on. the winds unceasnp
Though April's than half the way
towards May.
Sweeter days with softer airs bloom laden.
Seem such weary waiting while away
Outside my window, in a poplar tree.
Robin builds hr nest. nor heeds the snow.
Winters gone! Look up with eyes Of vision.
Spring and nesting time here the
Robins know.

EXCISE TAX ON AUTOMOBILES
Senate Committee Votes to Remove II
and House is Expected to Acquiesce

A prediction that the three per
cent excise tax Oh automobiles will be
completely repealed by the Senate
next week was made this week by
Senator William H. King, a member
Of the Senate Finance Committee
which has just concluded hearings on
the tax reduction program. Senator
King expressed the opinion that his
Committee would report the bill to the
f. Senate with the automobile tax in
| tact, but that when the measure is
taken up on the floor of the Senate
that it will be stricken out. The tax
was removed by the House, voting $50
to 12O for its elimination, and over
irving the House Ways and Means
Committee which voted to retain it.
"This is a tax that the motorist
must pay and now is the final oppor-
tunity, at the present session Of Con-
gress, for the motorist to voice his
disapproval of it, ~. Borton Weeks,
I President Of the American Motorists
Association declares. Opposition to a
continuation Of the tax was voiced by
the association during the hearings
before the Senate Finance Committee
on the ground that it is a discrimina-
tory tax and should have been remov-
ed years ago.
''The motorist is unequivocally OPP
posed to a continuation of the tax. It
is purely a sales tax which has al
ready netted the government S1,6O0,-
100000 since its inception. The tax it
in principle, a transportation tax and
when other transportation taxes were
removed, in fairness to the motorists,
this should also have been eliminated.
/ The tax is not needed by the govern
ment, at the present time, as a means
Of raising revenue" President Weeks
declares in urging the members of his
association to express their senti-
ments at once to their Senators on the
retention of the tax.
/ eff the administration succeeds in
retaining the tax at this time, three
is much ground for fear that the tax
may be made a permanent feature of
the governments revenue program
similar to the tax on tobacco, playing
cards and other articles classed as
luXurieso the Association head warns

MORE THAN 10000 CITIZENS
ANSWER THE QUESTIONNA|RES
MANY FROM SMYRNA-C CLAYTON
VICINITY LISTED IN RETURNS
QuestiGnnaires Put Out by P. S. du-
POnt is Causing Much Interest All
Over the State of Delaware

Approximately $4,000 answers have
been received to the questionnaires
sent out by Pierre S. dupont for the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, Delaware Division, ask
ing all people over twenty-one years
Of age in Delaware to express their
views on prohibition. The returned
questionnaires are piling up at the
Wilmington Trust Company offices
where they are being held for the
committee of "wets" and "drys" which
is to be appointed to tabulate them.
The committee is to consist Of six
members, three with dry sympathies
and three leaning toward the wet side
Of the question. No attention is be-
ing given by the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment to the op-
position to the QUESTIONABLE, the Of
ficials feeling that it is a matter for
the public to decide and that they will
answer through the questionnaires.
When the questionnaires are in, the
results will be published regardless
of the outsome, and it is felt that this
will afford a means of directing the
desire of those interested on which
ever side they may be. More than
100000 residents Of Delaware, all
twenty-one years of age or older, on
Monday received a questionable con
tanning six questions concerning pro
hibition from the Delaware Division
Of the Association against the Prohi-
bition Amendment.
Each QUESTIONABLE was enclosed
with a letter from Pierre S. dupont,
member Of the divisions executive
committee and stamped and address
ed envelope for return. This refer
endum Of every adult in the State on
the prohibition question at an expense
coming close to $4,000, is believed to
be the first ever attempted in this
manner by any division Of the asso-
citation. 1t is done solely to obtain
an honest expression Of opinion on the
prohibition question from adult Del
awareans. While the exact number of
questionnaires has not been compiled,
it will be close to 100000. Each Of
the 10000 men and women who voted
at the last general election were mail
ed one. The return envelopes sent
with the questionnaires are addressed
to the Trust Department Of the Viii
mington Trust Company. The ques-
tionnaires will be held in trust, un-
opened by the company and commit
tee to Be designated BY the association
will take charge of the returns al
they are received and compile the an
swers later. Results Of the returns
will be published BY the association
regardless of the finding. Persons
answering the questions need not sign
their names. Names signed, however,
will be held in strict confidence. Every
| person receiving the questioinnaire Is
urged to return it with the questions
answered either negatively, afirma-
lively or qualified as may be desired,
50 that the results Of the mail refer
endum" may be known soon.

NEW MOTOR BOATS HAVE DIESEL ENGINES

NEW YORK. Feb. 1-The speed bug has infested the motor boat world to an unusual extent as the 1928 yachting season approaches, and 40-miles-an-hour speeds loom as probability for wide y;,- riety of craft. Higher speeds there will be. of course, but i0. once believed to be beyond the bounds of possibility for ordinary travel on water, evidently will Dc quite common.
 A new four-cylinder ouiboard motor will provide this augm ented accaleration for small craft. The Diesel 6il-bufning engine has been developed to suit American re- quirements for both large and small boats. fouf.eylindar motors of this type coming 10 the mar ket in light weights and eompar- atiyely flexible powers adapted to general use. There are also avail able for the power yacht sman new four, six and even eight-cylinder motors made not only in plants of the old established marine en- zine builders, but newly develop ed as side line by automobile and airplane manufacturers.
 Even the anchor has been speeded up. but in this develop ment comfort has had hand, for this labor of casting and weighing this nautical necessity has been consigned by electricity to the realm of button-pushing. Pushing a button throws it overheard; q second push hauls il aboard; anl between the two pushes the last hard labor of cruising is done away with.

WASHINGTON U WINS
 CONFERENCE TILTS

Recent reports received rom Seattle showed that the Univer- sity of Washington basketball team has two conference victories and no defeats to it's credit. The Huskies dropped the Washington State Cougars 26 to 13 after the two teams tied 13 all in the third quarter. yIdaho's Vandals, another conference aggregation, also drop ped a hot encounter to the Puff ple and Gold men. when they were unable to overcome the Washing ton lead. and lost 27 to 19.
 In practice tilts early in the season the Huskies dropped one of two games with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma Early re- ports coming in indicated that Washington hoopsters had used their second stringers in an ef- fort to win the encounter but n reality Washington entered the fray with all five of the first stringers playing and after the C. P. s. quintet had trampled on them half dozen subs were sent in but they too, were unable C stop the fast travelling Loggers.

BETTER SPARK 'r PLUGS, CLAIMS ONE SPECIALIST

NEW YORK, Feb. Spark plugs are crude things and even act as tiny broadcasting stations, interfering with radio reception on airplanes, says R. T. Hurley, ignition specialist of the Moto Meter Company.
 Further development in spark plugs is needed. he says, before maximum efficiency can be st- tained in high compression air plane or automobile motors
 MT. Hurley points out that the spark plug acts as miniature spark transmitting radio station, providing radiation that interfercs with transmission or reception of radio by an airplane.
 This interference originates in the plug, travels back through the high tension leads, through the ignition system into the bat tery and through the entire lign'- ing and wiring system of an air plane. which thus becomes the antenna for broadcasting the ii. reference.
 Tests conducted by MT. Hurley in conjunction with the Navy Ds- partment's bureau of aeronautics indicate that rectifying quality might be incorporated in a plug 10 prevent radio disturbance. Such a change would make unnecessary the Nse Of cumbersome grounded ignition shielding, the engineer asserts.
 Future developments in the making ef spark plugs, MT. Hur- ley says, will reduce their cost and improve their operation. New or improved materials, or bet ter knowledge of known materials, he believes, will effect these i'm. provements.

 At the end of the third quarter
 the visitors led II to s and in the closing canto they ran their score up to 15 before the locals scored. The Bremen tore loos 2 a few minutes later and made five points to come within two points of a tie but the Ketchikan boys boosted their score points in the last two minutes of play to win by good margin.
 Locals Outclassed
 The game leaves little doubt as to the relative strength of the two teams. The visitors outclassed the locals. and the Bremen were playing good game and were not especially weak in any de partment. The Ketchikan bunch apparently depend on much shoot. ing and close checking to will. for the Bremen had few easy chances at baskets. The locals shot only 36 times to score field goals while the visitors made 9i attempts for II baskets, their per. centage being poorer. The same was true of free throws. for tho locals converted 3 of and the
 First City bunch 1 of 9.
 First Quarter
 In the first quarter the visitors shot time and time again from thu 17-foot line but were unable p find the hoop, and many of their shots were wild. Campen put in
 a long shot for the opening score and Hollmann dropped one in from the free throw line for the only markers of the quarter. Fire
 men 3, Ketchikan 0.
 Second Quarter
 Close checking by both teams featured the second quarter. For four and one half minutes both teams battled before single
 score was made. Vosburgh, lanky First City guard, sank a long one
 Peterson put in another long field goal with two minutes left in ths quarter. At this point Mangan
 was sent in for Blake and with

 Failing to purchase Jennings in 1906. the Detroit Tigers drafted him the following year and ina mediately installed him as man. ager-a position he filled for four teen years.
 Jennings electrified the base ball world by accomplishing the feat of winning the American League flag in his first season IS pilot. He followed with pennanis in 1903 and 1909, although in each of the worlds series the Tigers suffered defeat at the hands of the National League entry. Twi % the Chicago Cubs turned back the Tigers and in 1900 Pittsburgh turned the trick
 In only four remaining seasons did Jennings teams fail to fin ish in the first division. Ills teams were twice in second place, twice third and three times fourth.
 Jennings resigned as manager of the Tigers at the close of the 1920 season to becoine McGraw' 8 first lieutenant. He was a factor in the success of the team in 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1921. In 1925 he was in charge Of the club during the long period in which McGraw was confined to his home with illness.
