When The Mercury Rises

The man whose rule it is to take
The weather as 1t comes;
Without a word of fuss, finds life
A pudding full of plums.
He doesn't care how low or high,
The mercury has got;
And even when it's mid July,
He hardly knows it's hot.
But he who, when the mercury
Goes up to eighty-fve,
Makes such a fuss that everyone
Regrets that he's alive.
Thus makes himself unhappier
Than he was meant to be,
And fells the heat at seventy-two
AS if 'twere ninety-three.
So take a warning from these
lines,
It's good advice, thought free
And when the hot days really come,
Don't watch the mercury.
Just go about your daily tasks,
Regardless of the heat;
And you will find that every day,
Your life will grow more sweet.

the reduction of their equipment al
lowances. 1t is our confident hope
that the result of this action will
materially contribute not only to the
balancing of the budget, but also to
the economic restoration of the
country.
Postmaster General Farley advo-
Gated the adoption of this policy by
the government to avoid the dismis-
sal of large numbers of employees
as a measure of economy. He draft
ed and submitted to Congress the
provisions which are found in the
Independent Offices Appropriation
Act permitting any department con-
fronted with the necessity of reduc-
ing its force to accomplish the re-
duction by rotating the work instead
of by dismissals.

I'VE lose about 5000 employees a
year in the Federal service" he said,

in the postoffice will be, as far as we
possibly can, to retain all efficient
employees on the payroll until our
surplus personnel has been elimi-
mated by these normal separations,

for pOstmasters in this class. The
salary of all pOstmasters is based
on the annual receipts of their re-
spective offices which receipts also
form the basis ON which the office
rating is established.
Under the postal regulations ap-
pOintment of pOstmasters in the
first, second and third classes are
all made by the President. In the
fourth class the appointments are
made by the Postmaster General.
While there are about 80 pOstoffices
in the State only about 40 of them
are filled by Presidential appoint
ment The terms are for four years
and expire at various times although
all postmasterships will be vacated
sometime during the next four years.
What effect the reduction of the
eight offices announced will have on
the struggle among the Democrats
of the State for this patronage is
problematical, especially in view of
the fact that with the class reduc-
tions go heavy reductions in the sal
ary paid in each office. OF the 40 up
per class positions to be filled dur
ing the life of the present admins
tration Congressman Wilbur L. Ad-
ans probably will have candidates
to recommend for each one and also
for the remaining fifty.
The changes will in no way affect
the amount of patronage at the dis
posal of the Democratic administra-
tion nor will the reduction of the
several postoffices from the classes
filled by the president to the class
filled by the Postmaster General re-
move any of the appointments from
the political list.

Send Them To Bed With A Kiss


o mother, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the
day;
You often grow cross and impatient,
, Complain of the noise and the
play;
For the day brings so many vexa-
tions,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with q
kiss!
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps, from the pathway Of
right;
The dear little hands find new mis-
chief,
Te try you from morning till night.
But think of the desolate- mothers,
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite
blessings,
Send the children to bed with
kiss
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children
voices,
For a sweet childish face at the
door.
And to press a child's face to your
bosom,
You'd give all the world just for
this;
For the comfort twill bring you in
sorrow,
Send the children to bed with a
kissi
A kiss is like a bath,
That you take from the river
You can take and take and take IS
And take 'em ON forever,
And still there's just as many
AS if you had never taken any.

MOVE LAUNCHED
FOR $3,5OO,OOO OF
HUGE JOB FUND
GCOnfinued from First Page1

| of others that, even if Delaware
does not take its share of the funds
provided in the Industrial Recovery
Act, the State will have to pay its
prOpOrtiOnate share of the expendi-
lures, anyhow. 1t was argued that,
despite the fact Delaware is next to
the smallest state in the Union,
there are only 13 states that pay
more than Delaware in Federal
taxes.
The bill provides 100000 for
highway work, and the balance of
the $4,000. 100000 for other public
works. 1t provides that 20 per cent
of the cost of projects can be bor-
rowed from the Federal Govern
ment by states,. municipalities and
incorporated towns OH a lOng-term
basis at low rates of interest. AS
much as the entire remaining 80 per
cent can be obtained as an outright
gift, providing the administrators of
the act feel the project deserves it.
1t will be one of the chief aims of
the State survey commission to Sc
lect those projects that will be eligi-
BILE for the 80 per cent outright gift
and it is felt that much of the sue
cess of the States effort to secure
Federal funds under the act will de-
pend upon the ability of the COM
mission to select such projects and
select them quickly.
Besides the highway work, pro-
jects that will come under the act
will include municipal buildings,
water plants, water systems and
mains, sewage systems, sewage
plants and extension of sewage lines
construction and widening of
bridges, construction of hospitals
and additions to them. The State
Board of Health is particularly in
terested in fostering sanitation pro-
jects that would come under the act
and has already announced it is pre-
pared to confer with the officials of
any town considering such projects.
Many business men and others
are anxious for the State to get its
full quota especially in view of the
fact that the State has not yet re-
ceived any funds for relief from the
Federal Government during the de-
preston.
In many quarters, the opinion
was expressed there will ultimately
be a strong movement in Congress
to cancel the debts incurred under
the Industrial Recovery Act on the
ground that is was an emergency
measure. If this should occur, it was
pointed out, and Delaware should
have failed to receive its quota, this
State would be placed in the posi-
tion of helping to pay, through tax
alton, for works in other states
though Delaware would, itself, have
missed all the benefits of the act.

this reason l have chosen to with
hold my approval of this bill.
House Bill No. 16 calling for the
payment of monies from the State
Highway fund to persons, firms and
corporations acting as auto inspec-
tion stations for the year 1882. Ar
rangements having been made with
individuals and companies acting in
said capacity to perform this work
without compensation no payment
should be made for the work and
have disapproved this act.
House Bill No. 402 creating a
commission for the purpose of con-
Quoting an annual inspection of au-
tomobiles. This bill would place the
cost of these inspections on the ow-
ners of motor vehicles to the extent
of approximately $4,000. Inasmuch
as an urgent demand for decreased
registration fees brought about the
creation of a law reducing such fees
some 25 per cent it would hardly be
proper to take per cent in return

reasons, first, it proposed to appro-
pirate money from the general fund
that was not otherwise appropriated
when it is estimated there will be a
deficit of approximately 100000 at
the end of the fiscal biennium of
1933-1934 The other reason was
that it sought to accomplish no
more than that which the State For
estry Commission should do.
"Other bills providing for appro-
priations which were not approved
are: Providing an appropriation of
$4,000 for the Ferris Industrial
School; $4,000 for the Fish and
Game Commission; 100000 for an

1t was the original purpose when
this $4,000 was incorporated in the
budget to use the money for the
construction of a building to house
the blind of the State because their
present quarters are considered in
adequate. 1t was also desired to
have all the wards of the State
grouped under one unit, if possible,
and the home for the blind was to
have been maintained in connection
with the Welfare Home.
When the appropriation bill
reached the Governor it was found
the $4,000 was listed for "perma-
nent improvement" This, it was de-
cided, would have given the commits
sion the right to expend the appro-
priation for almost any purpose it
desired and the board would not
have been limited to building a home
for the blind under the item. 1t was
therefore decided to eliminate this
sum and the appropriation was ac-
cordingly vetoed.
The State Welfare Home is near
ing completion but will not be ready
for opening July as was planned.
The commission hopes to have it

With his rosy cheeks and his merry

Knows what to do if fellow gets

BY thump or bruise, or fall in

Rags and buttons, and lots of things;
No matter how busy she is, she'll

To see how well you can spin your

She does not care-not much, l
If fellows face is not always clean;
And If your trousers are torn at the

She can put patch that you'd never

A fellows mother is never mad,
And anly sorry if you're bad;
And will tell you this, if you're

She'll always forgive you, whate'er
you do.

 The Senate has passed and the Hbuse has before it for consideration 8 bill providing fine of $l00 OF im- prtsormsnt for 30 days, or both, for thnse violating rules and regulations which may be established.
