Due to the circulation Of the air

winters seem unusually mild, but
the explanation Is not far to seek.
Every few days atmospheric distur-

American continent from the west

a storm passes over, if its center is
to the north of a given location.
that locality receives the wind first
from the east, then southeast, south
and southwest. Such draughts of air
come from more tropical regions
consequently mild temperatures pre-

STATES TAKING OVER HIGHWAY
SYSTEMS

The movement to take highway
and road construction out of the
hands of counties and place it un-
der State control and supervision
seems to be gaining momentum on
the theory that more comprehen-
sive and complete system of main
highways and feeder or farm SER
vice roads can be obtained by this
method.
This would also do away with
much experimenting in methods of
construction and materials used, for
it would obviate numerous county
boards and commissions each endea-
voring to find out in its own way
what materials are best.
Practical highway engineers have
found that a coating of road oil or
asphaltic mixture properly applied
at comparatively low cost, is often
all that is necessary to give sparsely
settled rural districts adequate wea-
ther-proof secondary roads leading
to main highways.

MILLIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL
PEACE

The bulk of the estate, which may
amount to $1O,OOO,OOO, which was
left by Thomas E. Mitten, Philadel-
phia street car magnate, has been
given as trust fund to promote CO.
operation between capital and labor.
1t is noble gift. Also it is one
that promises to accomplish more
for humanity than if a sum several
times as large had been given in di-
rect charity.
When capital and labor cooper
ate harmoniously, the returns of
each are greatly increased. When
they quarrel as to how their earn
ings shall be divided, their total pro-
duction is lowered, and the chances
are that the share of each will even
tually be lower.

WHEN DO WE EAT2

Considerable changes are occur
ring in American eating habits. In
the days when most people lived in
rural homes or else worked in towns
at places near their homes, the three
daily meals were breakfast, dinner,
and supper. But now many millions
of people live at some distance from
their work in cities and suburban
places. The majority of such ones
have luncheon at noon at some res
taurant or lunch room near their
work, or they lunch from a picnic
basket. They plan for their dinner,
or heartiest meal, to come at night.
This change is so general in the
larger cities, that it has become ra-
ther Questionable to have dinner at
noon and supper at night in the for
mer way.
Over in Europe the custom of a
late night dinner is general. Many
American tourists who are accus-
toned to a noon dinner dislike a
schedule that gives them no dinner
until 1880 in the evening. That GUS
tom is common also in South Amer
lea, where people sit around at cafes
and resorts after working hours, and
then go home at about 1880 or 8 for
dinner.
Another European habit that bo-
theirs many tourists is that Of the
very light breakfasts, usually con-
sisting in the continental countries
of only coffee and rolls. Our travel
lers can not comprehend how those
people can start out on their days
work so lightly fortified against
hunger. But perhaps they filled up
so heavily on their late dinner the
night before that that is all they
need.
Many people in our country still
cling to the old habit of dinner at
noon and supper at night, even II 1t
IS questionable. They feel the need
NJ a good ration at noon to sustain
Them through the work OF the oay'
and they do not care a particle If
-bev are failing to conform to metro
Dolitan STYLES. 1t is a question on
which people should suit their own
.astes alone, and not care how the
est of the world lives.

NATURES AUTUMN GLORY IN
DELAWARE

Nature outdoes herself in the
bright months of autumn, in the
brilliant colors with which she deco
rates her landscape.
Our Ellendale Swamp, ten miles
of glorious colors, and the highways
of Delaware are wonderful at this
time.
The many trees which take on
brilliant red and yellow colors Gre
ate an autumn landscape which de-
fies description. 1t seem like a final
song of triumph of nature, a silent
exclamation in which she celebrates
what she has done to make the earth
fruitful and happy.
The colors of the fruits and vege-
tables of the season form a kaleido-
scope of the most gorgeous tints.
The heaps of these products piled up
at the wayside booths present one of
the most fascinating pictures Of col
or that the world has ever seen. The
earth seems a kind of paradise as
these colors decorate the landscape,
and we forget for the moment what
man does to deface it by his folly.

COMMERCIAL ALERTNESS AND
HOW TO APPLY

There is a kind of intangible diff
ference between cities and towns,
which causes some of them to go
ahead and some of them to remain
stationary or go backward. Some
communities give the impression
that they are wide awake and up
with the times, and some give the
impression that they are slow and
sleepy.
People hate to move into a sleepy
town. They have the feeling that the
opportunities for advancement will
be few, also that things will be so
slow that they will not have good
time there.
They are attracted to bright and
wide awake town. They believe it
will offer opportunities to wage
earners and business people, and
they think there will be so many in
teresting things going on that they
will enjoy life in that community.
You can get a good idea of the
character of town, by an exami-
nation of its local newspaper or
newspapers. To give the impression
that its home town is wide awake,
such a paper needs to have the fol-
lowing two features:
First, the report of the work of
many organizations and social
events. If the folks in that commun-
ity are seen by these reports to be
doing active things, people conclude
that there is an alert spirit in the
community that is accomplishing all
kinds of desirable results.
Second, plenty of advertising from
the stores. The advertising columns
are the best possible reflection of
the commercial prospects of the
town. If there is good lot of ad-
vertising, it is an indicator that the
business men are reaching out for
more success, and are likely to en-
large their trade. 1t is an indica-
tion that these business people are
and will take up use
ful new ideas and push them to sue
cess. People like to move into or
,rade in such a community.

ANOTHER OLD SHED GONE

Winfield R. Wright has this week
removed the old shed awning and
pillars in front of his store at Front
and Walnut streets. The result is
surprising to some people, because
the removal has transformed the ap-
pearance Of not only the store, but
made the street and sidewalk look
much more wide, and in everyway
more pleasing. This change will
make the corner of Front and Wal
nut streets the show place in the
business centre of Milford-when
the new street lights are placed.
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18
THE SCHOOLS JOB

A lady who lives near a high
school building in a certain town
complained few days ago about the
noise made by the pupils who come
in automobiles. She thought they
made a tremendous disturbance,
more than was at all necessary, and
that the teachers ought to instruct
them to be more considerate OF the
folks in the neighborhood.
A friend remarked that the stu
dents on their way to and from
school, would throw many bits OF
waste paper over her lawn. She
thought the teachers ought to stop
their doing that.
A third lady remarked, that these
Youngsters as they passed her place,
would walk over the edge Of her
grass. She thought they should be
instructed to refrain from this prac-
tice.
Thus if anyone sees anything go
ing wrong in the community, it is
customary to suggest that the
schools should teach the young folks
not to do these things. Propaganda
agencies ask the schools to promote
the interest of their causes. Civic
associations, clubs, welfare agencies,
etc., etc., ask the schools to inter-
est the children in their work. 1t is
not surprising that the school tea
chers sometimes throw up their
hands in despair and ask how they
can do everything that is expected of
them.
There are some very vital ideas
which the schools ought to impart to
the children, even If they have to
discard some of their present book
work. One of these is the necessity
of honest and moral conduct, and
good citizenship in their community.
These are quite as vital as any book
work.
Meanwhile the parents should not
pass the buck over to the schools for
conveying ideas that ought to be i'm
pressed in the homes. If the chill
dren are noisy, unmannerly, disor-
derly, and, careless of the property of
their neighbors, it is up to the par
ents to point out the mistake they
are making, which will hurt them
more than anyone else.
Do@
YOU HAVE TO TALK to people to
convert them to any political ideas,
and similarly you have to talk to
people through advertising, to con-
vince them that your ideas of run
ming store are right.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, OCT. 1S, 1929
PLEASING THE WOMEN FOLKS

STYLES of women's clothing appear
to have changed considerably this
fall. Longer skirts are said to be
fashionable, but it remains to bt
seen whether the women can be per-
suaded to wear them for any length
of time. Those whose figures were
not adapted to the knee length ones
will rejoice over such a change any
way.
Many women who like the short
skirts say they dislike the idea OF
having style makers tell them what
they must wear. However, the wo-
men have a way of falling into line.
They do not always approve of the
whims of fashion, but they feel
themselves at the mercy of prevail
ing styles, and often feel they have
to buy things they do not care for,
thinking that they would look &C.
centric if they didn't.
The independent life which wo-
men live in these times will probably
tend to an increased independence in
the matter of their garments. Many
of them will put up a hard KICK
against having to wear dresses long
enough to interfere with their free
dom of motion.
If longer dresses become popular
it will cause rejoicing in many tex
tile centers, where the short skirts
meant smaller orders for their fab
RIGS. But these centers will have to
make what the women want. AS the
women probably spend as much
money for clothing as they ever did,
and very likely more, there is plen-
ty of field for enterprise in supply
ing their needs.
It must be quite a proposition for
a. retail merchant to order lines OF
stuff that will conform closely
enough to the styles to be fashion
able yet will suit the desires of his
customers. The women Of Milford
at least can have confidence that
their home stores have dealt with
this difficult question in a very
shrewd and skillful way, and that If
they buy their clothing at home this
fall, they will be both stylish and
sensible.

AT BELLEAU WOOD

A delegation of 200 World War
veterans have just participated in
dedicating the Belleau Wood Church
in France, which was reconstructed
in memory of the American boys
who fell in the fateful strife in the
forest tract near by.
The world looked on with anxiety
when the Americans went into battle
at this historic spot. Our hastily
trained troops were something of an
experiment. Many observers felt they
could not hold their own against the
veteran troops of Germany. But they
were given a vital position in the
line, on which the safety Of the
French capital depended. When they
got through with their job, they had
the woods, and the Germans were on
the run. 1t should be a spot to be
forever cherished, as the scene
where America proved that it had a
heart of steel.

SUBMARINE WARFARE

Abolition of submarine warfare,
which is favored by the United
States and England, will not prob
ably be agreed to by France, Italy,
and Japan. It is to be regretted that
all nations can not consent to give
up form of warfare repugnant to
humane considerations.
The last three named countries
consider that submarines are a val
liable means of defense for a nation
that has weaker navy. But they are
a cruel instrument of warfare, de-
stroying peaceful ships of commerce,
and sending women and children to
the bottom of the sea. The time will
come when nations will prefer to
take few chances, rather than en-
gage in such an ignoble form of at
tack.

JUST ONE NIGHT PER WEEK

Many people who say they have no
time which could be given for the
benefit of their home towns, will yet
spend much time in aimless loafing.
They would get more out of their
days, if they would devote a little of
that spare time to taking an interest
in home town movements.
Everyone in Milford or any Della
ware town should be willing to give
at least one evening a week to some
form of attention to community
causes. Perhaps you will be asked
to work on the committee of some
good organization. Or you will be
requested to attend it's meetings and
learn what it is doing. Don't turn
down such requests too heedlessly.
Ask yourself if you could not well
give one evening week to such ac-
tivities.

NAVAL ARMAMENT

The statements by Premier Mac
Donald of England, to the effect that
his country is perfectly willing that
the United States should have navy
equal to England's, ought to make it
easily possible to obtain an agree
ment between the two countries lin
iting naval armament.
There is still left the question
whether this agreement will pro-
vide any reduction of naval arma-
ment. England still demands a large
force of cruisers to protect her COM
merce. If we obtain parity with her,
it may mean an expensive job of
construction to equal her cruisers.
But at least all countries should
gladly consent to stop construction
of the tremendous battleships, whose
enormous cost has been the biggest
item in naval building so far.

LICENSES TO OPERATE motor

1t is no wonder that under such
