He'd neared, reared, and ripped
around,
But hopes and fears he dashed
aground,
Till folks did say that he had spent
His fiurries on strange battlements
But willy like, and stealthy too,
Horsed and stirruped as the March
wind blew,
He mingled breath along oilers,
FLASHING powder everywheres.
Fair Smyrna's form in livid white,
The quicksome artist of the SHOWS

With fiaky waters from a frigid

And sealed good contract for a

The coming first was seeming sad,
For tears of rain ran with his
SHOWS,
Slushing the canvas with
commingly woes.
He saw the daub, beastly drab,
And sterner grew, for he was mad,
At such a piece Of bungling.
Thus warming up in dying fight,
He clasped and wrung his brushes
tight,
Till foreign moisture froze in fright
And fell a tumbling.
Starved artist of that colder cline,
Could not resist, ere yet was time,
To softly kneel, and kiss the sign,
OF Earthed life assembling.

FIRE COMPANIES GET $500
ANNUALLY IF BILL PASSES
THIS WILL INCLUDE SMYRNA
AND OTHER FIRE COMPANIES
Bill Has Passed Delaware House
Unanimously - Now Goes to
the Senate For Consideration

Representative Clark's bill di-
recting the State to appropriate
$500 year for the next two years
to every volunteer fire company in
the State outside Of Wilmington
which was organized and equipped
on January 1, of this year, was
passed UNANIMOUSLY by the House
Wednesday afternoon 35 to 0, after
several members who had original
ly answered mo" to the roll call
had changed their votes to Eyes" !"
This would cost the State about
$4,000 annually as there are 80
volunteer companies in the State.
Mr.. Clark inadvocating the bill ar
gued that it is hard struggle for
many of the fire companies to get
along, buy gasoline, equipment,
ETC., and that many of them pro-
tected State property and forest
land. Mr.. Tatnall said he could
not say that he was in favor of the
bill as it seemed to him it was
starting something that might be
far-reaching. He said if such
thing is done for the fire companies
others might come along and want
State aid. He pointed out that
the budget committee is now try
ing to find the money to educate
the children and take care of the
sick of the State. He also said the
Wilmington Fire Department re-
ceives about $4,000 a year as its
share of the two per cent. coming
from fire insurance premiums paid.
Representative Nickle argued for
the bill and said the volunteer
companies protect state property
and forests. He contended that it
costs at least $50 a year to be
member of volunteer company
when wear on clothing, etc, is con-
sidered. Representative Virden
said in reply to what it was con-
tended Wilmington gets, that he
had come to the conclusion that
Wilmington does not get much
from the Legislature. What we
want we don't get and what we
don't want we do get" Mr.. Virden

THE GLOW WORMS HOUR

A starlit night,
Ger floor of white,
Is right some sight to gaze on,
Though soft SHOWS show,
What glowless woe,
A flake clasp does to tension.
For bottled light,
Might beam Albright,
When nought disrupts the Osram,
But down the wires,
That lease the fires,
Then Oh Sepulcherismum.
Thus fast we mass,
To an older class,
OF tongued Elimination,
That from the byss,
We raise a bliss,
Of spluttering consolation.
Then fame the name,
Nor cease refrain,
OF this white immunation,
For a tallowed stick,
With bright red wick,
Is full of commendation.
So more the store,
Enrich galore,
Your waxed constellation,
Case sprites of white,
Like thieves of night,
Rob conduits from the nation.

stated. Mr.. Tatnall said he want
ed it understood that he was not
against the fire companies but it
was only a question as to whether
or not this was the right thing to
do. He said he was formerly a
member of the old Water Witch
Fire Company Of Wilmington. 1t
was contended by Mr.. Nickle that
the amount received by each vol
unteer fire company of the state
under the two per cent insurance
premium law is but about S2750
and that it requires about S1700 a
year for gasoline, requirements,
ETC., to operate a company. Mr..
Clark, in answer to question
from Mr.. Tatnall, said there are
80 fire companies that would be
benefited by the bill, and that it
would cost the state about $4,000
a year. Speaker Coy took the
floor to advocate passage of the
bill. He told of the long hours
that some of the companies spend
fighting forest fires without COM
pensation and said the bill was as
just as many others appropriating
money that are being passed.
When the vote was taken Repre-
sentatives Scheifele, ,Tatnall, Flynn,
VanSciver, Smoot and Virden an
swered mo" to the roll call. Be
fore the vote was announced the
members started to change their
votes to yes" and eventually the
vote was unanimous. Mr.. Tatnall,
the last one to change his vote,
said, ''Mr. Speaker, as long as you
are in favor of this bill, 1 will
change my vote to yes.

WASHINGTON BICENTENNr.1
Celebration to Mark I5Oth Ann;
versary of Victory at YORKTOWN

One of the important celebra-
tions which will precede the com
memoration of the Two Hundredtb
Anniversary of George Washing
tons Birth in 1882, win be tba
Yorktown Sesquicentennial. 10 he
observed in October, 1881. in honor
of the 150th anniversary of the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS 81
Yorktown, Virginia. The sesni,i-
centennial celebration of the Rrit-
ish capitulation which virtually
ended the Revolutionary War win
be an auspicious event in its own
right, but since the man who made
the victory at Yorktown possible
in 1871 is also the one whose birth
day is being commemorated next
year, the two celebrations ara
closely associated. The observance
of the surrender of CornwaiIjs
therefore may be looked upon as 4
forerunner of the ten months na-
tion-wide George Washington Bi-
centennial Celebration. When the
British troops, commanded bv Lord
CORVALLIS, marched out of York
town and laid down their arms af-
ter enduring severe lombard
ment from the French and Ameri-
can batteries, the Revolutionary
War was, to all intents and pur-
poses, over. The American victory
over CORVALLIS was most decisive
and although there was some de-
sultory fighting after the British
capitulation, the Yorktown tri-
umph really ended the war. This
important event with its far reach
ing effects was the result of the
foresight, courage and persever-
ance of George Washington, and to
him more than any other man be-
longs the credit for the American
triumph. Representative S. o.
Bland of Virginia, secretary of the
United States Yorktown Sesqui--
centennial Commission, said in a
speech before the House of Repre-
sentatives: 'The crowning event of
Washington's military career was
the victory which he won at York
town. 49,. 1t is proper that the
commemoration of Washington's s
final military achievement which
established this Nation shall be Of
such proportions as to correspond
with the celebrations which will
commemorate his birth" For this
reason the Congress of the United
States created a national commits
sion to prepare plan and pro
gram in commemoration of the
seige at Yorktown, and the sur
render of Lord CORVALLIS. This
commission consists of the follow
ing members: From the Senate.
