MEIER FIRM DESIGNS
TRI-BLADE TYPE FAN

A new type exhaust fan, designed
with three blades has been placed
on the market by The Meier Electric
and Machine Company. The Fan,
known as the Meier Nu-Air, has
been patterned after the tri- blade
motors of the Zepplins, because OF
their capacity to lift a heavier
weight without extra quantity of
power.
Manufacturers of Fokker airplanes
have recently been putting this type
of blade .on their larger planes and
find that on the three blade type a
shorter blade will give equal results
to the longer two-blade type.
The "Nu-Air" is built Of aluminium
with the exception Of the motor,
which is specially designed by the
Emerson Electric Manufacturing
Company of st. Louis. i.

LARGE REGISTRATION MADE IN
SMYRNA FOR COMING ELECTION
APPROXIMATELY 1000 NAMES ON
LIST, AN INCREASE OF 400
Qualified Voters in Kent County Over
10000, an Increase of 15O0-New
Castle and Sussex Big Gains

The last Registration Day of the
campaign was lively in Smyrna and
all parts of Kent County and State of
Delaware. The total number of nam
es on the registration list in Smyrna
is approximately 1000. This is be-
tween 800 and 400 more than two
years ago. This increase is due large
ly to more women taking an interest
in the coming election and being
anxious to vote. In the first election
district Saturday, 81 names were put
on, making total of 1000 names. In
the second election district lis names
were qualified making a total of 955
names When it is considered that all
the names put on were in addition to
those on the permanent registration
list, save those who were required to
register by reason of their moving out
of their voting district or not voting
at the last election, the registration
officers in the three days they sat,
had considerable work to do. The to-
tai registration of Kent county IS
something in excess of $4,000 which
is an increase of about 1900 over two
and four years ago. Many Of those
who registered Saturday were women
and it is stated that a considerable
number of them will vote at the COM
ing election for the first time in their
lives. Beth parties have worked es-
pecially hard in Kent county to get
out the vote Of the women and they
have made marked success. Nearly
500 people registered in the different
districts in Dover hundred. There
were also 81 registered at Clayton.
This il a good showing for both Sc
tons and it is believed that the reg
istration III other parts Of the county
Wa equally heavy. Both the Repub-
licans and Democrats had large fore
es at work getting people on the yot-
ing list and these workers We're Kept
busy from the time that the registra-
ton places opened in the morning IN
Till they closed at night. Ia Whining
ton an increase Of more than 1000
voters IL estimated to have taken
place as a result Of the last registra-
ton day Saturday. The total regis
tration for Wilmington is brought
close to $1,000, the largest il the his
tory Of the city and nearly twice as
large a. the registration at the 1870
general election. Increases are re-
ported in all sections Of New Castle
County including BIackbird and Town
send. Reports received from Sussex
are about 10000 registered in the
county which is an increase Of at least
5000 over any previous election.

fuI gifts was left by the many visit

presented by the auxiliary were plac-
ed, adding to the symetrical appear
ance of the grounds and proving a
most acceptable addition in every
way. The latest gift of the auxiliary,
the dainty sash curtains, are being
hung, adding greatly to the attrac-
tIveness of the rooms. Any sugges-
tions of further needs of the hospital

ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Ernest P. Collins Gave a Talk On
"Vision or Sight"at Meeting Thurs
day Night Held at The Wayside Inn

The Smyrna Rotary Club held their
regular weekly meeting, Thursday ev-
ening, October 18th, at the Wayside
I'm. The program of the evening
consisted of a solo sung by Miss Mary
E. Hynson which was followed by
vocational service talk by E. P. Col
Inns, who took for his subject, ''Vision
or Sight" which was in direct asso-
citation with his profession, optometry.
Z. P. Collins, stated briefly in truly
practical sense the origin and history
of optometry, carrying his subject
cleverly from the beginning of the
profession to the present day. He
pointed out the great advancements
that have been made in this work, as
particularly relating to the ever new
and improved lenses which are being
manufactured and offered for sale.
Few people realize how necessary it
is, both in youth and in old age to
have the eyes properly treated. Much
discomfOrture and impaired vision re-
suits form this neglect. Never was
the old saying of "a stitch in time
saves nine" more properly applied
than on this vital subject. A compli-
mentary letter was read from |. B.
Sutton, president of Rotary Interna-
tional praising the Smyrna Club on
their 38th consecutive 100 per cent
meetings. The local club also went
on record as accepting the invitation
to them by the David c. Harrison
Post, No. IA, American Legion, Smyr-
ma, to attend their annual Armistice

LATE APPLES STILL MOVING

Shipments Still Continue Heavy With
Large Quantities Going Into Storage
Shipments Of late apples were heav-
ier this week than at any previous
time this year. 1t had been antici-
pated by apple growers that last week
would witness the peak Of the late ap-
pie shipments, but continued good
weather and the fine quality of the
fruit caused the growers to redouble
efforts to get the apples picked and
either sold or into storage. A large
portion Of the apple crop is going into
storage. According to reports com
ing to W. T. Derickson, director of
the Bureau of Markets of the State
Board of Agriculture, Delaware sweet
potatoes were never so palatable as
they are this year. The majority of
sweet potatoes being harvested are
going into storage

FAT THANKSGIVING TURKEYS
Flocks Are Getting in Fine Condition
Tho Some Are Hurt BY 'Black Head"

Tho Some Are Hurt By BLACK Head
According to information coming to
w. T.. Derickson, director of the Blu
reau of Markets of the State Board of
Agriculture, the rainy weather dur
ing the spring and early summer has
been disastrous to many fiocks of
young turkeys in this state. 1t re-
suited in an epidemic of what is
known as "black head" The turkeys
that have survived are IN splendid
condition. The weather between now
end Thanksgiving time is most i'm
portant period, turkey raisers say. II
It is warm, such as temperature eX-
perienced this week, the birds are in
clined to range and this means a re-
duction in their weight. If the wealth
er is cool and frosty, the turkeys are
inclined to take it easy and being pro-
vided with plenty of food, will fatten
up. In discussing "black head" among
turkeys, DIR. Frank Hare, pathologlst
Of the State Board of Agriculture
saws there is a way to protect the
turkeys from this disease. They
should be kept separated from chick
ems. The latter, while immune from
the disease, are carriers of it. Con
trary to common opinion, turkeys will
thrive if confined and if properly
handled will not lose weight. Many
persons have believed that confine-
ment made turkeys lose in weight and
for that reason have permitted them
to range. DIR. Hare suggests that 1t
is better to prevent than to try and
cure "black head" after it arrives.
He advises raisers to change the
turkeys from one yard to another so
they may be more free from danger
of acquiring the disease.

REBUILDING ORGAN AT STRAND
Music at Smyrna's Movie Theatre
Will Take on Impetus-V Vaudeville


The Strand Theatre, Smyrna's NOV
ING picture house, is showing progress
and gaining renewed popularity under
the efficient management of L. Z.
Reubens. The theatre has been un-
dergoing several changes preparatory
to fitting it out for vaudeville which
will in the future become a regular
weekly feature. One Of the first
things Manager Reubens is doing IS
to get the theatre pipe organ rehabll-
itated. Since it was installed several
months ago, it never worked properly
and soon was out of commission. Or
gan repair men were put on the job
Monday and the organ is practically
being rebuilt with all new interior
parts and it is hoped to have it ready
and in service for the Hill Billies per
Torrance tomorrow night or by the
weekend at best. Manager Reubens
is determined that The Strand shall
have organ music, for piano music at
movie theatres is now becoming al
most a thing Of the past. In connec-
ton with the fine bill of attractions
IIdI N1dHdScI 1SCubtiS - NOAANAAAeteA -
striving to obtain, the Strand, begin
ming probably next week, will have
vaudeville as regular Thursday
night feature. As already announced
the stage has been enlarged, dressing
rooms built, new drop curtains and
stage curtains installed, and this week
the stage electric system including
footlights, is being put in. These
changes with the rehabilitated pipe
organ, will make The Strand a more
attractive place than ever in its his
tory. Patrons of the theatre are ask
ed to watch the Strand advertise
ments for opening announcement Of
the vaudeville as we'll as for photo
play announcements. Manager Reu-
bens is being congratulations on his
enterprise.
