1851 900 FOR STATE HOSPITAL
Additional Appropriation Approx
ed by House Brings Total to Above

After the Senate had passed an
additional appropriation Of $751;
600 for new buildings at the State
Hospital at Farnhurst, making a
total of S681 900 appropriated this
year, the bill was passed in the
House under suspension of rules
after it had ben explained by DR..
NJ. A. Tarumianz, the superintend-
ent. The original bill, which was
introduced by Senator McIntire,
provided for an appropriation of
nearly 100000. DR.. Tarumianz
superintendent of the hospital, and
former State Senator Hervey P.
Hall, of Smyrna, one of the trus-
tees, advocated passage of the bill
after it had been brought up by Mr.
VanSciver. In describing condi-
tions at the institution and the eff
forts that are being made to not
only care for, but wherever possi-
BILE, to cure the mental cases that
are admitted, Dr. Tarumianz told
of a patient from Dover being a
patient in the hospital some time
ago and that the case was cured,
the patient returning to Dover and
is now a valuable citizen. Repre-
sentative Seal, member of the
budget committee, who has taken
a keen interest in the affairs at
Farnhurst as they come to the
Legislature, asked DR.. Tarumianz
what would have been the result
had the patient referred to been
to the state hospital 25
years ago. The superintendent re-
piled that the patient would in all
still be at the hospital
unless death interviewed. Mr.. Seal
desired to bring out what is being
done at the institution now under
treatment of mental cases.

LEGISLATURE CLOSE SESSION
Governor Declares Taxpayers Saw
ed 81. 500, 900 by Acts Passed

With 20 bills on the calendar of
the Senate and SO on the House
calendar, the Delaware Legislature
adjourned sine die at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, one hour after
the time fixed for the final adjourn
ment. There was a general hand
shaking in the House and in the
Senate there were a number of
speeches. The last attempt in the
Senate to obtain more liberal laws
for the use of intoxicants for med
icinal purposes, made shortly be-
fore adjournment, was defeated by
a vote of 13 to 4. The measure
would have lifted certain restric-
tions on prescribing liquor by ply
sicians for their patients. The
House defeated 81 to bill to
amend the search and seizure
law of Delaware to conform to fed
eral laws. A pleasing feature of
the close was the receipt by both
Houses of a communication from
Governor c. D. Buck praising the
members of the Legislature for
their work and declaring that five
bills which were passed would save
the taxpayers fully S1,500,000.
While the Governor did not so
state it is understood that he re-
ferred to the bill reducing the in
come tax, the bill reducing the cost
of automobile drivers licenses, the
Welfare bill providing for old age
pensions instead of caring for the
aged in Almshouses. the bills al
lowing the State to pay school
bonds out of the funds of the State
instead of being paid by the school
districts.

Signs Woodland Beach Road Bill

The bill which passed both hous-
es of the Legislature thru the eff
forts of Mrs. Estelle w. Tschudy,
representative for this district, and
which pays j. r. Mott $11 900 for
his bridge and turns the marsh
road over to Kent County, has been
signed by Governor Buck. The
State Highway Department will
stone the road, it is said.

SMYRNA FIREMEN SEEK SUM
. FOR YEARLY FIXED EXPENSES
PROPOSE TOWN TAX LEVY OF
IOc ON SIOO FOR EXPENSES
Public Meeting Called For Monday
Night, April q, in the Smyrna
Town Hall to Vote on Project

Smyrna Firemen, members of
Citizens Cose Company, No. 1, of
Smyrna, Inc, are trying to devise
ways and means of making their
splendid volunteer organization
self-sustaining without resorting to
Annual Firemen's Carnivals, now
declared to be fast going out of
popularity as money producer.
With this in view, they are calling
a public meeting of property own
ers of town on Monday night,
April 9th inst, to talk over the
future of our fire organization and
see how the citizens and property
owners of Smyrna feel about rails
ing the tax rate 10 cents on the
hundred dollars for the purpose of
creating a fund to take care of the
maintenance of the Fire Hall and
support of Smyrna's Volunteer
Company. The latter company has
an indebtedness of $4,000 remain
ing on building and equipment.
This the F'iremen are anxious to
pay off. Carnival receipts are fall
ing off every year, especially in
these years of depression when
people have not the money to
spend. Farmers especially are
handicapped and cannot give like
they did when grain prices yielded
larger profits. AS matter of fact
it has never been considered just
the fair thing to make our volun-
teer firemen labor night after
after night at these carnivals to
raise funds when they volunteer
their services so willingly to fight
our fires. The only fair way is for
property owners to bear the blunt
of the expense. The Firemen pro-
pose, and this by the sanction of
the members of Town Council, to
have an extra town tax levy of
ten cents on the hundred dollars
for fire department purposes. Such
a levy is slight, it is felt. A prop
erty owner for instance, owning a
So 900 property, would only be as
sessed a tax of $500, and yet in
the aggregate. our one million flye
hundred thousand dollar assess
ment Isl ,500,o0O) would yield a
revenue of 81 500 a year for the
Citizens Hose Company of Smyrna.
This sum. with the $4,000 year
they will receive from the State
Treasury, will yield for mainten-
ance expenses a sum of $4,000
year, which will just about pay
running expenses. In addition to
this our firemen hope to add more
by holding their annual suppers
and other entertainments to give
non-property owners a chance TO
share in the maintaining of their
fire company. Indeed, there are
some firemen who favor holding
carnival another year or two to
help get the Citizens Hose Com
pany out of debt. The town tax
lew and the revenues from State,
County and insurance sources
should keep our fire companies n
nsnces on an even keel. No citi-
zen should object to the extra as
sessment for such worthy cause.
Let all citizens show interest and
encouragement in our volunteer
fire fighting organization by at
tending the Public Meeting and
giving the extra tax raise their ap-
proval. See advertisement for
particulars.

The Lenten Season

The observing of Lent, the great fast preceding
Easter is custom which originated with the early
church. probably in the latter part Of the second cen
tnry but the number Of days included In the Lenen
season has varied widely at different times: 81
In the beginning, it appears from the writings OF
Trenaeus and other early fathers of the church, only
one or two days Of fasting were observed By the
fourth century periods Of three six even seven WEEKS
were observed in various countries, with widely oil
ferent customs with respect to the continuity of the
fast.
AS at present observed, Lent is fast Of forty
davs, not Including Sundays, beginning with Ash
Wednesday-this year on February 18-and ending
During Lent it is considered desirable by the
churches observing it that their members abstain
from food each fasting day until evening" also that
the season be marked by frequent attendance at Wor
ship and increased diligence in works OF charity Var
ous degrees Of strctness in these observances have
prevailed from time to tme and exceptions are made
in accordance with the physical needs OF certain IN
dividuas. Indulgence in worldly amusements IS con-
sidered unsuitable to the Lenten season.
Lent is observed by the Roman Catholic Angli-
can and Lutheran churches.

grosgrain band around the crown.
You saw lots Of them last sum-
mer. And the folks wearing them
are so cool-headed that you're going
to see many more this summer.
They look great with print
dresses, especially when the ribbon
band matches one of the colors in
the print. They're fine with sum-
mer suits and silk coats.
The Panama type of straw is for
NAL enough for summer town wear,
yet it's not too formal to be worn
with spectator sports costumes. All
in all, you'll find it practical
buy"
BaIibuntls Are Good
Medium large balibuntls make
another good street and town hat
and sunshade when they are
trimmed with just a ribbon band
around the crown.
These you can have in darker COL
orS, too, if you want them to go
with the fashionable dark, sheer
material dresses.
If your sports wardrobe con-
talns dresses OF linen or pique, the
SunShade hat that goes with them
is one Of stitched linen or pique.
The stitching keeps the brim stiff
enough so it doesn't flop, but it's
still soft enough to make that be-
coming uneven line around the
face.
Good for Week Ends
One of these in white, with an
assortment Of ribbon bands in COL
ors to match your dresses, is a good
thing to have for week-ends and
vacations.
The newest sports hat with the
SunShade idea is of "cordknit," a
loosely woven, nleshy cotton that
makes you think of a heavy ratine.
It's made into simple hats with
bright sash-like ribbon tied around
the crown and the edge of the brim
fringed. Quite informal, as you can
see in the illustration. And Just as
smart whether it's white or bright
color.
For afternoon use, these sunshade
hats grow larger. Big capelines and
cartwheels are made of both rough
and smooth StrawS, in either dull
or shiny finish. OF organizes, too.
Front Wider Than Rack
Usually the front is much wider
than the back. Sometimes the
crown is creased in telescope fash
ion, as it is in the sketch at the
lower right.
It's rare-if ever-that these new
larger hats are worn perfectly
straight on the head. And that's
one reason that makes them so
much more becoming.
Pulled down over one eye and up
over the other to show plenty of
hair is the way to put them on.
And which eye is up and which
down depends on which is the more
becoming to you.
