DOVER COUNCIL
TO BUILD SEWER
City Manager Shank Suggest
ed Council Complete Sewer
on State House Property
JOB TO GEORGE & LYNCH

At the meeting Of Dover Coun-
Gil, Fanager Shank suggested that
Council complete the intercepting
sewer which runs across the State
House property east of the legisla-
tive building and which remains
unfinished because of lack of Fed
eral funds with which the project
was first started. Council decided
to have the work completed and
instructed Mr. Shank to have the
contract previously submitted by
George and Lynch signed and the
work commenced. Council also
decided to ask the State Highway
Department to place a sidewalk
over the bridge near the Water
and Light plant for the safety of
pedestrians. The question of park
ing on Loockerman and State
streets was brought up through a
communication from the Chamber
of Commerce which body endorsed
a two hour parking system. Coun-
ell took no action.

He paused, but Joie offered no com

that his shot had attracted too much

Joie was unimpressed. What do

Big Jim's reply was a question.

"Oh. | have an income" replied
Joie, grandly.

into a babbling bit of nonsense.
Then there is that never-failing
old gentleman who hasn't seen us
since we were "knee-high-to-a-

we can't be a day over fifteen, well,
not over sixteen. soon we'll have

you, even if we are five feet six,

ALI of us have gone to a meeting
with our parents, and, SUDDENLY for
getting to be seen and not heard,
have entered into the conversation.
And then, just as we are about to
prove a point, someone casually re-
minds us that "after all, dear, YOU
are only fifteen" or you'll realize,
honey, when you begin to grow
up"
The crowning glory, however,
has not been mentioned. 1t pops
us when we, in a matter-of-fac
tone of voice, announce to the fam
lily certain things we have decided
upon doing. The bill is vetoed,
and if we add another word we are
reminded that fifteen years is not
too much to be spanked! This is
only a plea, a plea for you not to
remind us of the fact that we are

The Juniors Try Editorial Work

There are quite a few Juniors
this year, and that means we have
more trouble. Our teacher seems
convinced that we are able to
stand 'one more joo" being placed
on our already over-burdened
shoulders. The latest is just this
editorial work.
Of all jobs, like this one the
least, and I am sure many of the
Juniors agree with me. Every
student must write something for
the paper each week, and our in
structor chooses the ones she
thinks will interest the public most
for publication. The first four
weeks of High School news was
published by the Seniors. I enjoy
ed reading their articles immense
ly. 1 thought them very interest
ing, and some, 1 admit, inspired
me to write-at the time of my
reading them. However, / feel no
inspiration now. only hope L
can think of three more subjects
to write upon so that / can say l

TEMPERANCE TALKS
By Lucy Smlth Gusema,
Clayton, Delaware

ndQ lnLeQQeQ TO quit Wr1tlnS
these articles but 1 have received
so many cards and notices from
people in different parts of the
state telling how much they ap-
preciate my talks" Because of
these encouraging comments I
have decided to continue them a
little longer. This time I will tell
you of a murder that was commit
ted through the influence of strong
drink, and remember friends, there
are thousands of murders being
committed through the same inf1u-
ence. How can we sit idly by and
let such things be carried on. Oh,
if something could only be done to
end this terrible liquor traffic.
Prisoner at the bar, have you
anything to say why sentence Of
death should not be passed upon
you?" A solemn hush fell over
the crowded court room. The judge
waited in silence. 81 have" said
the prisoner, as he rose slowly to
his feet You have asked me a
question and 1 ask, as a last favor
on earth not to interrupt my an
swer until L am through. I stand
here convicted of the murder of
my wife. Witnesses have testified
that 1 am drunkard and a
wretch, and that in one of my
drunken frenzies 1 killed the one
had promised to love and cher
ish. l have no remembrance Of
committing the deed. So 1 cannot
condemn the verdict of the jury,
but l wish to show you that I am
not the only guilty one. The Judge
the jury, the lawyers, and most Of
the witnesses are also guilty, and
will have to stand with me before
the Judgement Throne of God. If
it had not been for the saloons /
never would have become a drunk
ard, my wife would not have been
murdered, I would not be here now
ready to be hurled into eternity
God knows I tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in
my pathway my will power was
no match against the agonizing
appetite for liquor. For sometime
our town was without a saloon and
I was one who signed remonstran-
ces against their re-opening.
Through your votes and influence
the saloons were re-opened and
they made me what I am. After
the saloons you allowed have made
me drunkard and a murderer l
am taken before another bar-the
bar of justice, and now the law will
conduct me to the place Of execu-
ton, and hasten my soul to etern-
ity. Then l shall appear before
another bar-the judgment bar Of
God-and there you, who have leg
allied the traffic, will have to ap-
pear with me! Think you that
the Great Judge will hold me alone
responsible for the murder of my
wife? Your honor, l am done I
am now ready to receive my sent
ence. You will close by asking
the Lord to have mercy en- my
soul. I will close by solemnlv ask
ing God to open your blind ewes c
your own individual responsibility,
so that you will cease to give your
to this deadful traffic"

in the crowd said it matched a suit

Big Jim did not need to take the
word of some one in the crowd.
The material matched the suit that
Joie had on.
But Joie's smile remained idyllic.

marked, "but pr'aps you'd like to

turned about.

At the end of an hour, everything

In less than ten minutes, Big Jim
returned. "TOo bad" he told Joie,
that the new janitor didn't keep
the incinerator going. l found an
other pair of pants down there just
like yours; only the other pair had
piece torn out"
Joie's calm was apparently un-
broken. $50 what?" he asked, ris-
ing and moving aimlessly toward
Big Jim. But with a sudden motion
his aimlessness disappeared He
leaped for the door.
The detective was too quick for
him. With flying tackle that
would seem impossible for one his
size, he brought Joie to the floor.

up there" observed one of the po-
licemen to Big Jim, after Joie had
signed a confession.
Yes" replied Big Jim. "Joie
wouldn't have believed me if | had
told him that an old hand had for
gotten the incinerator.
Did the piece in Sors hand just
fit in the hole in the pants?" asked
the policeman.

Didn't you try it," The police
man was obviously shocked.
Big Jim reached in his pocket

buttons.

There he goes to school all dress

ignorant. They didn't go to school
when they were children. Par
ents of children sometimes don't
want their children to go to school
just because they didn't go. They
feel that they have existed in the

their children can. But condi-
tions have changed More boys
and girls are going to college The
rest have to secure a good educa-
tion to keep up with the standard
of their generation. The educat-
ed man can get a job nine times
out of ten, but the uneducated man
is left to dig bitches. These par
ents also forget the difference in
the cost of living in the 19OOs and
the present times. The laboring
man now just barely manages to
make both ends meet The edu-
Gated man usually finds a way to
make money. Parents, send your
