TOWN COUNCIL TALKS MORE
ABOUT BOULEVARD LIGHTS
WILL PLACE ORNAMENTAL
BRACKETS ALONG HIGHWAY
Effort to Better Light Smyrna
Goes Along With Street EXten-
sions to Advertise SMYRNA

Smyrna Town Council in regular
Sc essiou Friday night gave furthe~
consideration to their comprehen-
sive plan announced recently, to
better light the DUPONT Boulevard
thru Smyrna. At Friday nights
meeting Secretary E. T. Porter
was authorized to get in touch
with Chef Engineer Mack of State
Highway Department to get his
consent and cooperation in the
matter of placing poles where
needed, so that a line of lights on
both sides of the highway from
Lake Como to Duck Creek can be
placed. II is the intention of
Council to have installed on these
poles ornamental brackets similar
to those on the causeway approach
TO Market Street Bridge, Whining
ton. The present lights mostly On
one side of the Boulevard will
come down and the new lights on
the proposed new brackets will be
larger, brighter and higher power
ed. This flood of light on both
sides of the Boulevard thru Smyr-
ma, it is felt, will create for the
town a better impression with the
motoring public and this along
with the fact thai all streets in
Smyrna have been extended to the
Boulevard, will lend, it is thought.
a better advertising value 10 the
town. The lighting plan outlined
will cost Smyrna more than a
thousand dollars, but members of
Council and progressive citizens
generally feel it will be money
we'll expended. A dark looking
town never creates a favorable
impression and since the Boule-
ward does not go directly thru the
business section of the town,
Smyrna is coming to the Boule-
ward with every ease of facility of
approach and attractiveness to
put our town on the highway map.
New Rate for Electric Washers
Other business transacted by
Town Council Friday evening was
the granting of Scent rate after
the first 80 killowats for electric
washing machines. In other words
washing machines have been put
in the same classification as cleo
trio refrigerators. In the latter
case the regular 12c rate is charg-
ed for the first 80 XIV. but after
that it drops to cents per XIV
This special rate for washing ma
chimes will greatly aid house wives
who do their washing at home.
Council voted to extend the water
line from Delaware Street west on
Cummins street to the properties
of Daniel c. Bailey.
S1.00 for Disconnecting Service
AS the summer season is the
season when a number of families
close their homes and go away to
the seashore, Council very fire.
quently gets requests to cut off
their water and lights while they
are gone, the service being rein
stated after they get back. AS
this entails some expense on the
part of the Light and Water De-
partment, Council deemed it ex-
pedient to make a nominal charge
for this to apply not only for the
summer but all thru the year.
a consumer, hereafter,
wants service disconnected, he or
she will have to pay S1.00 and
when a reinstatement of service is
asked another S100 will be charg-
ed.

Dogs, Men and Disease.

There seems to be a determined effort
under way to secure legislation against
"vivisection" in the District of Columbia,
1t would be a notable victory for
opponents of experiments with living
animals If these could be prohibited In
Government laboratories. Attention has
been called to the pitiable plight of the
dog-the animal with the greatest num-
Der of sentimental ,aSsociations-when
used to further the ends of science. 1t
is emphasized that frequently such
experiments do not bring worthwhile
results and hence are wasted.
Without entering the argument as
to the value of "vivisection" for the
advancement of both pure and applied
biological sciences one observation may
be pertinent. The Government scien-
lists who experiment on animals gen.
orally do not hesitate to experiment on
themselves. To this the classics Of
American science bear witness. In the
study of some diseases dogs, rats and
rabbits are not good laboratory material
since the human organism reacts quite
differently. The tests must be made
with men. Such disease was yellow
fever. The annals of the Army contain
no finer instances of heroism than the
voluntary "vivisection' of the officers
and men who, by experimenting with
themselves, finally conquered this
epidemic malady. Both the Public
Health Service and the Department of
Agriculture can furnish almost COM
parable instances.
Experiments with animals are car
ried out with definite ends in view.
Sometimes these ends do not appear
Immediately practical. Described I'M
sympathetically to those unfamiliar
with the methods of science it might
seem that the only purpose was to
satisfy the experimenter's curiosity.
There is often a long road between
theory and practical result. But usually
1t is the only road.
1t would be unfortunate should Con-
gress see At to handicap in the slight
est way the efforts Of the men and
women who, by painfully slow degrees,
are bringing about a better under
standing of the human body and its
reactions, frightening human life and
increasing human happiness.
These experimenters do not ask of
dogs and rats what, when necessary,
they do not ask of themselves. AS to
the worthwhileness of any particular
experiment-that is a matter to be
determined by experts and not by an
uniformed public swayed by false
sentiment and unfamiliar with the
actual methods of "vivisection."

human voice or of any sound or noise,
in any public or private place In such
manner that the peace and good
order of the neighborhood is disturbed"
The penalty for violation will be q fine
Of not to exceed $40, in default Of which
defendant may go to Jail for not to
exceed 364 days.
Now will come a test of the regula-
ton. 1t will be up to any person who
suffers from an excessively loud speaker
in his neighborhood, whether a business
or residential section, to make COM
plant, whereupon the offending owner
or operator of the radio may be taken
to court for trial. There is no defini-
ton of what constitutes an ofienSe
against the peace and good order" OF
the neighborhood. But a radio the
sound of which passes beyond the walls
of the building in which 1t Is located
and reaches the ears of those living
elsewhere may be q nuisance. If a
radio can be heard across the street
and is an annoyance, 1t is nuisance
under the regulation. If it pentrates
through the walls of building as in
an apartment house and causes annoy
ance, it may be likewise rated as a
nuisance.
This is reasonable regulation. en-
forcement of which will bring great re-
lief to multitude of sufferers from the
needless noises that this wonderful de-
NJn fAV 4tarN
tainment emits beyond the range of
immediate consumption" 1t is such
regulation as should be adopted and
enforced In the counties adjacent to
Washington in the States of Maryland
and Virginia, the suburban areas of
the metropolitan district where resi-
dences are sufficiently close together to
make loud speakers an unbearable
nuisance when not held within restraint.
