One of the great pioneers in
aviation, who brought great
distinction to America for his
achievements as flier, designer
and manufacturer Of airplanes,
is Curtiss, recently deceased. 1t
is probably true that he was
the leading figure in aircraft
development during the period
following the first flight of the
Wright brothers and down to
the opening of the World War.
The progress Of aviation was
constantly promoted by him;
and his name will always be
remembered in the history Of
human flight.
Glenn Hammond Curtiss was
born at HammonSport, New
York, on May 81, 1878, the son
of Frank r. and Lena Andrews
CurtiSS. He attended the public
schools, but never enjoyed the
benefits Of a college education.
He worked for a time as a
telegraph operator, and Subse-
Quently was employed by the
Eastman Kodak Company. He
was a nautical inventor and
mechanic, Skillful in design, and
clever IL construction.
Speed with him was a sort
of mania, whether on a bicycle,
q motorcycle, or in an airplane.
AS a young man, astride a
yellow bicycle, he entered many
contests and soon won a large
collection of trophies. After
acquiring a repair shop and
building up a trade as bicycle
repairer, he married Lena P.
Neff, Of HammondSport.
When the motorcycle came
on the market, he began to
manufacture motors for this
new machine for covering the
ground at high speeds. He was
soon engaged in the business Of
manufacturing motorcycles.
But he didn't stop; he began
to make. records as a speed
demon. The record on a motor

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

If you eased things along
Yet each time you did so
You mortgaged your manhood,
With each double crossing
YOU PUT YOURSELF ON
THE SPOT!
And now that you've got
The trouble you asked for
You'll have to bring luck back
In just the same way
BY grim, secret struggles,
BY obscure denials,
Alone, in your darkness,
YOU MUST MAKE YOUR
OWN BREAKS.
Who framed you?
YOURSELF, KID!
Who failed you,
YOUR OWN SELF!
And Wh0ll help you now?
The very same guy.
AS you dug your own he'll
You must build your own
heaven
It's up to you. Bo-
OR YOU'RE JUST OUT OF
LUCK!

Ordinary washing fails to satisfac-
torily remove this film, because-it
does not clean the hair properly.
Besides-the hair cannot stand the
harsh effect of ordinary soaps. The
free alkali, in ordinary soaps, soon
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins it.
That is why women, by the thou
sands, who value beautiful hair, are
using Mulsifed Cocoanut Oil Sham

BEAUTIFY DUAL HIGHWAY
Trees, Native to Delaware, are Be
ing Planted Between Roads

Major steps will probably be
taken this year in the project to
plant the section of the State
highway north of st. Georges with
native Delaware trees. The State
Forestry Commission is working
with the State Highway Commits
sion on the project. The space to
be planted extends approximately
four miles, between the north
bound and southbound sections of
the highway, and varies in width,
being 200 feet wide in some places.
A few evergreens have been plant
ed close to the roadside, but the
chief operation is being deferred
until the ground has properly set
tied. w. F. Taber, State forester,
will be in charge of the work, the
intent being to plant every species
of tree and shrub Indigenous to
the Diamond State. The Whining
ton Kiwanis Club has already do
mated a fine specimen of the cop
per beech for planting when ar
rangements have been made for
the beginning of the work.

OF TOWN COUNCIL
Movement to Resurface Commerce
Street and Better Light Boulevard
is Being Gotten Under Way

At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council last evening it was decid-
ed to place more lights on the
Boulevard thru Smyrna Town linn
its and make it more attractive.
Members of Council were disposed
to see in a move Of this town a
better advertisement Of Smyrna to
the travelling public with the hope
it might cause some Of the traffic
at least to stop in Smyrna and take
advantage of its fine eating houses
and store bargains. The better
Smyrna is shown up both night
and day to the travelling public,
the greater impression it will
make and more inducing for stop
overs Smyrna has already done
a good thing in running its streets
to the Boulevard and it is the iE
tention of Council to follow this
Up by lighting the Boulevard more
attractively Council also talked
over the matter of resurfacing the
whole length of Commerce street
from the town limits at the Smyr-
na-Clayton road to the Boulevard.
This work will, in all probability,
be done this summer and already
arrangements are being made to
draw up plans and specifications
in order to advertise it and make
awards to the lowest bidder.
Commerce street has considerable
traffic and with the opening of the
Maryland roads, this traffic will no
doubt grow. With 9. new surface
of tarvia or some other material,
Commerce street will not only be
more inviting but the new surface
will help preserve the street and
make for smother driving. Coun-
Gil took up considerable time in go
ing over the old ordinance books
