ROAD FROM NEWARK OPENED
More Direct Route to Baltimore,
Conowingo and Other Places

Opening of the new concrete
road from Appleton to Fairhill, Md.
last week will greatly increase
automobile traffic through Newark
especially by persons travelling be-
tween New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington. AL
though the road was only opened
on Thursday, and consequently
many autoists do not know it as
yet, there has already been no
ticeable increase in traffic. Della
ware has had a modern road to
the Maryland line over what is
known as the Old Telegraph Road
for some years but owing to the
fact that the three-mile stretch be-
tween Appleton near the Delaware
line and Fairhill has been practi-
cally impossible for automobiles,
this highway has been used little.
Efforts have been made for years
to get the Maryland highway
authorities to build the three-mile
stretch but it was not until this
past Summer that the work was
actually started. 1t had been ru-
mored that some Maryland offic-
ials were opposing the building of
the Appleton-Fairhill stretch until
the bridge across the river at Per-
ryville had been paid for by toll
charges. 1t is understood that the
bridge is now paid for so that arg
Smyrna times., 1929-10-16

ument may have been what caused
the delay in building the road all
these years. Now that the new
stretch of road has been built it
gives autoists much more direct
route not only to Baltimore and
Washington but also for the hun
dreds who visit Conowingo dam
weekly. Up until this time those
persons desiring to go to Como
wingo had either to go around Elk
ton or Kennett Square to avoid the
bad piece of road between Apple
ton and Fairhil1. The route over
the Telegraph Road is not only a
more direct one to Baltimore and
Washington but it is now improv-
ed road all the way and has the
additional advantage of passing
through but two towns, Rising Sun
and Belair. 1t also takes the trav-
eler over a beautiful piece of coun-
try and right past the famous dam
on the Susquehanna River. There
seems no doubt that in the future
hundreds of autoists travelling be-
tween the southern and northern
cities and also those from Balti-
more and Washington en- route to
Atlantic City and other seashore
resorts will use the Telegraph
Road instead of the Glasgow-Elk-
ton Road as it is much more direct
and does not pass through as many
good sized towns.

A Great RESPONSIBILITY

C. J. Rhoades, president of the Indian Rights As
ISOLATION, has been named commissioner of Indian
affairs by President Hoover.
Little is known Of Rhoades in Washington, except
that he is connected with banking firm in Phadel-
phia that he formerly Was Governor OF the Federal
Reserve Bank there and that he is head Of the In
dian Rights Association.
Senator Frazier and other members OF the senate
Indian investigating committee exercising only
normal caution in getting all the information they
can about RhoadeS. He is being appointed head Of
a bureau upon which d great deal of criticism has
been heaped
1t is necessary at this time that the Indian COM
missioner be a man of ability man able to renovate
the bureau from top to bottom, man who knows
much about the Indians and who can become a
strong administrative force
The position is one OF great responsibility, The
Philadelphia banker VII find that much expected
of him. not only by the Indians. but by the nation.
Fortunately, Interior Secretary Wilbur has shown
determination to make the Indian bureau junction
as it should. In assisting Hoover TO select Rhoades,
Wilbur believes he has found the proper man to
perform the task.

Hoover S Message

President Hoovers first message to the new con-
greSs is notable tor brevity and precision. He knows
what he wants and how he wants it. There are no
surprises His recommendations follow his cam
paign pledges.
Fortunately. he does not desire too rigid restric
ton OF the special session to the major problems of
farm relief and tariff revision. There are he points
out certain matters OF emergency legislation that
were partially completed in the last session. such

gressonaI representation and the suspension OF the
national origins clause OF the immigration act OF 1924

HippoCrateS Didn't Know

IF a person is hurt on a railroad
L train, we hold the railroad re-
sponsible. or if a lawyer gives bad
advice. or if a doctor overlooks a
fractured skull, the victim takes the
consequences.
Somehow these two state-protect-
ed trades enjoy a freedom from re-
sponsibility with which no one else
seems to be blessed.
But. cheer up, the Chicago Medl-
cal Society will protect the world
against doctors, anyway. Harklng
back to HippocrateS for a precedent,
it shows that advertising is the one
deadly sin and that it was justified
in expelling Dr. Louis E. Schmidt
because Of his connection with the
institute of public health which
committed that sin.
Hippocrates was a great man,
whose accomplishments deserve to
be respected, but even doctors will
admit there we're some things he
overlooked. Otherwise, why all the
talk about ger MS, toxins. radium
and violet rays?
Possibly if he had lived in these
days. he would have felt differently
about advertising.

Physical Defect May Shape Conduct

The purpose Of the modern school
of scientifically trained educators is
to determine the correctable factors
in both environment and physical
conditions, and to control them SO
as to bring about normal conduct
in the persons concerned.
Because Of the general acceptance
of this point of view, the establish
ment OF clinics, institutions, and
schools for child guidance and
the teaching of normal juvenile be-
havior has been rapid.
The effects of this reform will not
be Immediately noticeable, but
twenty years from now, when the
children concerned have become
adults, the good of the method will
make its presence felt in the COM
munity.

Any Place but Home

MIR. OKEEFE deserves the
1V1 thanks of the community for
his prompt and painstaking expert
ment, but he has not even yet gone
to the heart of the problem. If he
had conducted his extravaganza on
some neutral field even his relatives
might have enjoyed it.
There is something in home ties
which bind. Texas Guinan knows
we'll enough that after some futile
attempts at whoopee in the home
all the patrons will come back.
I speak not in cynical disparage-
ment of every mans caste. The
parable Of the Prodigal Son con-
tains one of the most profound
truths in human psychology. In the
heart of us all there is the longing
to return to the place from which
we started.
But, obviously enough, only one
phase of the parable is celebrated
by the preachers and other essay
lists. There is, I suppose, a general
feeling of sympathy for the elder
brother who remained at home dur
ing all the heat Of the day.
To him the explanation was
vouchsafed, ut was meet that We
should make merry, and be glad;
for this thy brother was dead, and
is alive again; and was lost, and is
found"
