SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
DRIP. S.TitswOrth, President of Wash

On Thursday evening, March 14th,
the Smyrna Rotary Club held their
regular weekly meeting at the Way
side Inn. The speaker of the even
ing, DR.. Paul E. Ellsworth, President
of Washington College, Chestertown,
Nd, spoke on COORDINATION" which
means nothing more or less than TAX
ing factors in life, combining them to-
gether, so that they form perfect
batter. It is by coordination (com-
bining and regulating factors in har-
monious action for a useful purpose)
that the greatest achievements in life,
or of life, are obtained. Coordination
is going on before US, each and every
day; work is being performed by ma
ture, which goes unheeded, yet still
this great work continues and has con-
tinued throughout the ages by the
grace of God. Were it not for the
small factors in life co-ordinating,
greater things could never reach the
finished state. This is true in every
thing If men you'd but lay aside their
own petty jealousies and coordinate

world this would become Immediately.
We would not need large standing
armies or navies, nor would forces,
representing law and order prevail;
earth would indeed be as near Heaven
as material matters could be if only
people were as good co-ordinators as
is nature. Without a question of
doubt, DR.. Titsworth's talk was one of
the most outstanding speeches ever
presented by the local Rotary Club,
and it Immediately aroused the most
favorable comment from the mem
bers present. The program for next
meeting was not finally announced
however it promises to be one that
will be both interesting and intertain-
ing. Visiting Rotarians present

Smyrna, Entertains Invalid Soldiers
Last Sunday, March 18th, was the
date upon which fell the duty, of the
| Smyrna Post to entertain the Invalid
soldiers at Perry Point, Md, and the
Post fulfilled their obligation very
| creditably. Sylvester's concert band
of Smyrna, seated on the stage, gave
a concert for almost thousand men,
who filled the spacious auditorium.
The band,of which any town might well
feel proud, played in most inspiring
ard entertaining manner. The spled-
id acoustic qualities of the auditor
ium helped to give the music an add
ed volume and beauty of tone Mr..
Lester Goldsborough gave a short
dancing act, which was enjoyed by the
veterans. Upon this beautiful site,
situated at point on the broad Sus-
Quehanna, selected by the Govern
ment, as home for invalid ex-service
men, is very complete hospital, and
home, for these men who have become
incapacitated to return to civil life
Here you see men who, as a result of
poison gas, or shell shock, are men
tally unable to go out in the world,
and earn a living. Men whose nerv-
Gus system is so shattered that in Ger
tain cases the least excitement throws
them into convulsions, some of whom
are confined to their beds, and few
who are confined in a separate ward,
for violent cases. Many of the men
are employed, thruout the week, at
various trades, and at farming, on
the land of the hospital. A great
many well equipped buildings have
been erected by the Government, one
of the finest being the dining hall or
"mess ROOM, where about seven hun
dred are fed at one time; where
everything is very clean, and the best
of food is served. The horror of war
is well exemplified in these men, and
the Government has spared no ex-
pense to make them as comfortable
as possible. Besides the Band, those
who attended were: Mrand Mrs. Frank

The Hynson dry bill which was
passed by the Lower House of the
Delaware Legislature last Wednesday
p to 10, and was supposed to be sure
of passing the Senate, now reposas in
the Temperance Committee of that
body. When the bill first appeared in
the Senate there was an argument
over referring the bill to this commit
tee and acknowledgements J. Henry
Hazel, who was presiding, placed the
bill in the committee on Public Health
which reported it favorably the same
afternoon. Monday afternoon it was
announced that the Republican mem
bers of the two houses had agreed to
amend the bill SO that it would change
the provision concerning the empty
ing Of liquids or the breaking of
vessel containing liquids to liquor"
instead of Liquids" 1t was gener-
ally understood that the bill was to be
passed with this amendment and the
amendment had been prepared. The

backing the bill, and George w. Abb
