IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE IN
CUBUS

The time to enjoy an eery mystery
story Is about 2 .. m. when honest
folk are abed. This was the time
Sherlock Holmes and Watson choose
to set off across the moor that men,
orable night when they washed up the
Hound Of the Baskervilles. That was
the night I was certain I had heard
something. A night my household
will never forget, am afraid.
just once I was held up and robbed
at the point Of weapon that closely
resembled an automatic. It was dull
affair. Nothing like the experience
one has In nightmares. The chaps
who relieved me Of my change seemed
rather diffident and apologize. The
miscreantS one encounters in bad
dream are much uglier customers: in
fact they usually have all the indica-
tons of mania or dementia. All the
harder to deal with. No telling what
erratic move the So-and-soS will make.
The fiend who has surprised me
time and again and who invariably
has the best of the encounter, con-
ceals himself behind the door Of the
furnace room with his sixteen-inch
poinard or spiked club Of cleaning
Ratchet, and confronts we as I turn
back from adjusting the drafts on the
furnace. It is exasperating. I can't
seem to holler for help. and never
can remember to peer In there behind
the door, BEFORE / enter the furnace
room. But my rage at being unable
to holler above feeble moan and at
having forgotten to explore the space
behind the door as entered the mur-
der chamber probably rebounds to my
advantage, for SO far I have always
managed to struggle free from the
clutches Of the incubus and regain
CROUCH consciousness to comprehend
there's something odd about the az
fair. II one could only remember to
begin analysis Of the dream at the In
slant Of breaking free from the in
cubus, one might learn a great deal
about dreams. But the JOY of finding
that you have suffered no serious
injury from your CHASTITY experience
crowds other thoughts out Of your
confused consciousness for the mo-
ment. BY the time you do calm down
and begin to think it over the fea-
lures Of the episode are already fad
ing back into the subconscious beyond
your ken. But who knows anything
about that mysterious world? Nobody
does. Not even Prof. Freud him
self. It Is all conjecture, entertaining,
ingenius, perhaps helpful in some In
stances, this psyche -analysis whereby
presumptuous specialists attempt to
pry into the subconscious and explain
all repressions. obsessions, confessions
and transgressions. AS a rule, though,
1t isn't worth the price.
Here endeavor to suggest merely
the means to promote quiet restful
sleep and to prevent disturbing
dreams and Nightmares.

She had thought these people Of the

was right. But she Rlimpsed, now,

SMYRNA MARDI
GRAS SUCCESS
Halloween Parade Put On
Last Night By Smyrna
Firemen Draws 5000
MANY PRIZES AWARDED

The third Halloween Mardi Gras
was held in Smyrna last night be-
fore a crowd estimated at between
5000 and 5000 and was credit to
the Citizens Hose Company of
Smyrna, who sponsored the event.
The occasion was marked by ideal
weather conditions, it being a
brisk, cool autumn day. Judged
by the spirit and enthusiasm with
which the Mardi Gras was taken
ahold by the merchants and cit
izens of Smyrna, success was as
sured from the start. Smyrna as
usual, gave an hospitable welcome
to the contingent of visitors who
came here in large numbers from
Dover, Middletown, Millington,
Camden Wyoming, Sudlersville,
Milford, Leipsic, Clayton and other
surrounding towns. The children's
parade was held at 7.30 while the
adult parade was held at 8 o'clock,
both transversing the principal
streets of the town, ending at the
roped-off section on Main Street
between Commerce Street and Mt.
Vernon Street. There were three
bands in the line of parade
Smyrna, Dover and MiddletoWn.
There were more than 600 Num-
mers in the parade, and about 10
floats. The children's parade be-
gan at 7.30 followed about eight
O'Clock by the adult group. This
parade with its BANDS and floats
was enthusiastically received. The
get-up of the individuals and or
ganiZations that participated,
caused a riot of laughter, while the
floats were artistic as well as COM
ical and won merited applause.
The judges of the parade Were DR..
r. F. Corley, Smyrna; Mr.. G. w.
Hall, Clayton. and Mr.. George HUI
Der, Wilmington The prizes they
will be published in full
in our issue of next week. The
festivities of the evening ended
with a Street Dance in which
about 200 couples participated. An
orchestra from Washington Col
lege, Chestertown, Md, furnished
the music.
