Mrs. White was going to have her
picture taken the same day. Her lit
tie Robbie was with her, and little
boys are quite as much interested in
watching Mother dress up" as little
girls are. Mrs. White, seeing that
Robbie wanted to stand beside her
and watch every movement she
made, allowed him to share in the
wonderful process. She set him to
work as her assistant. She let him
hand her the comb and brush, the
tiny hair pins, the cream and the
powder, and finally let him bring her
the dress which she had laid out on
the bed.
Mrs. White realized that going to
the photographer was not as impor-
tant as the everyday task Of being a
mother. If the picture the photOgra-
pher made came out poorly, it could
be destroyed, and another taken, but
the picture Robbie was getting of
Mother, through her conduct toward
him and others. was a lifetime pic
ture. She would much rather have a
poor picture from the photographer,
or miss having one taken, than to
spoil Robbie's picture Of her. Be-
sides, and this is worth considering
though Mrs. White had not thought
of it, when the photographer said,
Ready" she would not have to
summon an artificial hook Of pleas
antness to her face. Because she had
kept pleasant at home, a happy look
would naturally be there, and her
picture would be the photograph Of
her real self, just as Robbie's pic
ture of her would be.

Delicious Soups, vegetables, beans,
spaghetti, tOmata juice, and variety
ofemeat products, this week received
formal notification that the entire
line had been honored by both
awards for highest quality, purity
and favor.
Because of the fact that Phillips
Delicious products are created from
foods grown in the vast farming EN-
pire Of the Atlantic ssaboard. the
International award TO the packers
of Phillips Delicious also conveys to
both agricultural lands, their oper-
ators and their crops, the highest
rating for outstanding merit and ex-
cellence.
These new honOrs, with the wide
spread publicity they will achieve in
food circles throughout the world,
will ultimately establish q new
standard for farm and commodity
values throughout a wide section of
agricultural country.
Products from thirty nations of
the world were tested and tested by
international food. juries represent
ing England, ireland, France, Italy,
and the United States.
The dual award was announced by
directors of the General Trades In
ternational Exhibition at BOleyn
Castle, Green Street, London, through
their U. s. Agents, the Arthur Cros-
by Service, Inc, of New York City,
following nearly three months seien-
tific inspection Of thousands of ex-
hibits by food specialists, dietitians
and. experts In research, sanitation
and nutrition.
Last March the American represen-
tatives Of the British exposition ex-
tended an invitation to the Phillips
Packing Company to enter their pro-
ducts In the worldwide competition.
The various food commodities were /
from regular warehouse
stocks and shipped to England. where
they we're subsequently displayed In
the Town Hall Buildings, London.
After subjeeting the thousands OF
exhibits from many lands to ex-
haustiVe purity. quality and favor
tests, members OF the International
jury held their final meeting and
announced the award OF the Diploma
Df Grand. Prize and Gold Medal tod
The Phillips Packing Company for

NE-TT4IRD OF STATES
PLEASURE CARS APPROVED
CONTINUED From Page one)

Ofieials in charge Of the campaign
are well pleased with the showing
Of vehicles so far. Contributary to
this showing they point out, is the
fact that but a little over a minute
is needed for a vehicle to undergo
inspection, despite the need to make
four stops at each lane. Most Of the
personnel at these lanes have work.
ed in previous campaigns and their
experience serves to expedite the
inspections. It was urged that own
ers have their cars overhauled be-
fore coming to the lanes so as to
minimize the risk Of rejection and
the necessity Of having to make a
repeat visit.
Last weeks oficial figures show
that Of the S.1S1 vehicles approved
last week only 1,345 passed on the
first visit, 1,412 having to make
second Wait and S74 only getting
their windshield stickers after three
or more trials.
Milford chronicle., 1935-08-02

At Seaford where Lane No. S was
in operation, 2,O44 cars were in
spected, with 1,O45 approved and 999
rejected. From July 20 to August 3
this lane will be at Laurel and from
August 5 to 10 at Selbyville.
Lane No. 3 at Delaware City re-
ported 1911 cars inspected last week
of which 747 cars were approved to
far outnumber the 464 vehicles re-
jeeted. This lane moves to New
Castle for the week ending August 3
and then TO Middletown to remain
from August to IA.
A summary Of defects uncovered
at these lanes follows, with defec-
tive lights and faulty foot brakes, as
expected, proving to be the most
common: Licenses and plates, 229;
lights, 1868; tires, III; mirror, 5;

MODERN MODES OF.
TRAVEL FAVOR.
RECRUITS TODAY.
Early Marines Travelled AfoOt
Over Many Long Distances
Now Covered By Rail

While the cost OF travel does not
tax the pOeketbOOk of the modern
tourist too highly, 1t is a consider
able item I'm the recruiting problem
of today, according to Major E. 7.
Lloyd, New Custom House Building,
Second and Chestnut streets, Phila-
delphia, where many young men ap-
ply for enlistment in the Marine
Corps.
A substantial part of the cost Of
each enlistment now goes to the
railroad or steamship lines, as these
carriers are used to transport re-
cruits to the main training station
at Paris Island, South Carolina.
"The recruit OF today, who traV-
els first-class aud in the greatest
comfort to his destination. would
open his eyes in astonishment were
he to compare his lot with that Of
the sea. soldiers OF a bygOne gener-
atiOn," says Major Lloyd.
Early in the last century and for
some years previous to that time
travel afOot was the custom for al
most every military movement In
this country. It was not unusual for
recruits to walk fifty to a hundred
miles when making a change Of sta
tion, and. It would sometimes take
them a week to travel distances now
covered in a few hours.
The sergeant in charge usually
had a limited amount Of money with
which to buy food enroute, and it
was customary for the travelling
party to biVouae in the open or find
any sheltsr they could without cost.
Most of these hikes were made
along the Atlantic seaboard, from
Boston to New York, or from Phila-
delphia to Baltimore. A change Of
station meant taking to the open
road. OF course in those days there
was no danger Of being run down by
a reckless mOtorist, and doubtless
Marines found hiking through the
open countryside a fairly enjoyable
experience.
When the navy yard was estab-
iished at Washington shortly after
that city became the capital Of the
nation in 1900, a detachment Of ma
rines walked from Baltimore to
form the navy yard guard. II took
them two days to make the approx
imately thirty miles over a route |
which modern motorists cover in
less than an hour.
Coarse brown bread for food and
an armful of straw for a bed were
often the only comforts provided the
enlisted man in the old days" says
Major Lloyd, whereas the marine
Of today is given an excellent ration
Of wholesome food, and his barracks
are modern and sanitary.
But perhaps the biggest change
Of all is the methods Of transporta-
LiOn. The marines who now lean
back in their comfortable seats in
coaches to observe the
are probably the physi-
al equals of their forerunners of
another generation, who Travelled
afoOt. They merely happen to be
living in a generation that demands

The theatre or hall;
The nervous tramp OF hurrying feet
Is never heard in my retreat,
And few there are who call.

Where no one comes to buy or sell.
No gossiper a tale to tell,
And none with me abide.

And I have flowers n every braeze
