YOUR " CHILDREN. MNupRobez1sRaz1n
I0i03I BY A.SfRVICe. INC. [


 It is no longer a fallacy that our minds largely control our health. True, when we are i'll it is difficult and even impossible for most of us to think ourselves well, but when we are well it is decidedly possible to think ourselves i'll and be really sick at that.
 Pathologists delving into causes of symptoms and diseases tell us that we can and do frighten our selves into aches and pains and nervous disorders that are not imaginary once they have started. One doctor told me recently of a case of fiattened lung-the patient hysterical after slight illness lest she get pneumonia had an actual lung paralysis that disappeared in fifteen minutes after he, had as- sured her she was as fit as fiddle
 This preamble brings us, of course, to the children. Children are more susceptible to the power of mental suggestion than grown ups although they are unconscious as they seldom question the ac- ol What 10 tOiu iCy take our statements for granted we say something, so it must be true.
 "You're pale. dear! John, don't you think Mary is pale? And she's s well, dear? I hope you are not go- ing to have another spell like the last. Are you sure you haven't a naiy h, unur st op,a n h o'
 Reaction Is Unhealthy Now Mary may have something really the matter with her, in which event it should be looked into. But again she may not. Per haps she is tired, perhaps she has not been getting enough fresh air, or perhaps any of dozen things may have made her pale and lan- guid, such as some childish wor- ry or unhappiness.
 But Mary, remembering the suf- | fering of that last spell" suddenly | finds that her corn-custard has lost its flavor. She refusejs her Brown Betty pudding and won't drink her milk.
 She leaves the table and her mother finds her lying on the sofa in the living room. T don't feel very we'll" she whimpers. "I thinF I aam going to be sick again. And, believe it or not, she is quite likely to lose the first part of her dinner also and develop a real pain. She will be put to bed | by her worried mother, who very likely will say, 'I just knew it!" It may be that Mary is not so easily swayed by suggestion as other children might be, but if she hears her mother go over the above rigamole about her health two or three times every day. sooner or later she will learn to turn her eyes in on her health and watch for certain symptoms, jumping at extreme conclusions, of course, ev- cry time she does so.
 Of course, common sense warn- ing is right. for children must learn rules of hygiene and health. but to accent the idea of keeping well Is a different matter from that of suggestion illness. If a parent is really worried 1t is better to keep it to himself and act. not talk.

 If you choose mauve-brown can ton-faille crepe silk, the result will be simply charming.
 It's lines are so utterly smart, 1t needs no further adornment.
 Don't you like the way the one sided rever falls from the shoul- der? It's marvelously slimming. The skirt contributes its share of slenderness through the decided drop of the circular tunic at the front.
 And it's so easily fashioned.
 Style No. 629 comes in sizes 36, 3S, 40, AZ, A, 46 and AS inches bust. Size 36 requires 4 s yards of 39-inch material.
 A bit more dressy is black crepe satin with the rever made of white crepe satin.
 Black or dark green crepe maro- cain is another idea you'll like im- mensely.
 Our Fall and Winter Fashion Magazine is ready. It contains styles for children, the miss and of course, most attractive selection for adults including slenderizing effects for stouts. You need this presentation of Fall fashions as guide in selecting the styles you will wear in the coming season and. incidentally, you will have money by choosing your frocks from our Pattern models.

DEL-MAR-VA ASSOCIATION
Sixth Annual Membership Meeting
to Be Held Thursday, MAY 28th

/ Sixth Annual Membership Meeting
to Be Held Thursday, May 28th
The Sixth Annual Membership
Meeting of the Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore Association will be held
Thursday, May %, in the Ballroom
of the Wicomico Hotel, Salisbury,
Md. The session this year will be
featured by attendance of Mayors
from several of the larger cities
adjacent to or in direct contact
with the Peninsula. It is antici-
pated that Mayor E. Jeff Robert
son, of Norfolk; Mayor Howard
Jackson, of Baltimore; Mayor G.
w. K. Forest, of Wilmington; May
or Harry A. Mackey, of Philadel-
phia, and possibly Mayor Jimmy
1 Walker, of New York, will attend.
In addition the Presidents and
Managing Executives of the Cham
bers of Commerce of these com
munities are also expected. Pres
ident Louis A Drexler said that
the purpose of inviting the execu-
tives and business leaders from the
nearby larger cities is to further
/ the present sound contact which
+ Del-Mar-Va has with these cities
in the shipments of thousands of
tons of Del-Mar-Va commodities to
their markets and because there is
also much in common in the mat
ter of national tourists traffic as
well as in other commercial lines.
At Association headquarters it is
said that there is assurance that a
majority of the prominent officials
to whom invitations have been ex-
/ tended will be in attendance and
that it is possible that all may be
able to arrange. A special enter
tainment committee of fifteen of
the Association leaders is being
named, representing Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia to arrange
for the visitors and because of the
number expected the business rou-
tine of the meeting will be conf1n-
ed to brief reports and election of
officers. In accordance with the
original plan of rotation in office,
the Presidency of the Association
will go to Virginia this year Other
officers to be elected will include a
Treasurer and short term Cover
nors and County Vice-Presidents.
The review of the Associations ac-
tivities during the last year, ac-
cording to its officials, will present
most impressive results, as during
the 1930-1931 period several of the
major projects undertaken when
the Association was organized as
well as a number of equally i'm
portant matters developing later
and during the last year have been
brought to a successful culmina-
tion.

Turtle on Exhibition at Newark

P. j. Ewing, has on exhibition in
his cigar store on Main street, at
Newark, a land turtle on the shell
of which the letter e appears in
ten places. The turtle is attract
ing much attention. The letters
are on the top shell of the turtle
and run in rows of three letters
with one E under the three rows.
The letters are gold in color and
each is slightly raised from the
shell which is apparent to anyone
passing their hand over the shell.
They are a natural growth on the
shell and the letters apparently
raise more with age. The turtle
was found by Richard Tweed near
McClellandsville. He brought 1t to
Ewing's store.

Cut With a Hedge Knife The
western end of Blackbird Hundred
will soon be getting notorious if it
keeps on. A few weeks ago we
gave an account of a shooting.
This time it is a cutting. The
parties were Thomas Lamb and
John w. Ford, near Dexter's Cor
ner. They are neighbors. To drain
a field Lamb cut a ditch through
the field of Ford without saying
anything to him about it. Ford
did not object so much to the cut
ting of the drain as the insolence
of digging through his field with
out saying anything about it, and
hence some rough words passed
between them. The next morning,
Saturday, as Ford was shutting his
gate and before he could get into
his carriage to come to town, he
was set upon by Lamb with a
hedge knife receiving three blows
on his arm and two ugly gashes on
his head, each about two inches in
length, laying his scalp open to the
bone. His wound was dressed by
a neighbor and DR.. c. o. Swinney,
this town, sent for and the patient
is doing we'll 1t is not so much
what was done but what might
have been done.
The little boy Cubbage has been
tried for the arson of David
Stats dwelling house in Apo
quinimink hundred. H. r. PEN
nington, Esq, was appointed to
defend him. The trial occurred
yesterday. In consideration of the
extreme youth of the prisoner, the
Attorney-General agreed to enter
a nolle prosequi in the indictment
for the burning of the dwelling
house, the penalty for which is
death, in consideration of the boys
counsel, pleading guilty to the
burning of the clubhouse. The
Court, sentenced him to pay $500
fine, costs of the suit, to stand one
hour in the pillory, to be whipped
with 10 lashes on Saturday next
and to be imprisoned for one year.
Important to Schools. Arrange
ments have been made with Messrs.
Harper & Brothers to rid our
schools Of the Old Language Les
sons and the Progressive Gram
mars, putting in their places the
New Language Lessons and New
English Grammar. This arrange
ment is made without any addi-
tional cost to the people. The su-
perintendent is now making the
exchange. The improvements ad-
ditions and changes in the new
edition by the author made them
essentially new books, causing con
fusion in the classes, and Prof.
Groves insisted that the publishers
should make the supply to our
schools uniform.

title (called from its former own
err lying directly west of the
Blackiston M. E. Church on the
road to Millington or, from the
other side, four miles N. w. of
Kenton, has been especially noted
for its fine tracts of timber. 1t

100 acres in corn, 100 in wheat and
