They say that summer is just
around the corner, but we of Smyr-
ma High are beginning to believe
that winter is back to stay.
The baseball season is supposed
to open the week of April 1919
but according to the weather it is
doubtful if they are able to play.
The coach of Smyrna has one Of
the best teams that has been at
Smyrna for a good many years.
1t is believed by many people
that Smyrna has a great chance OF
winning most of their games and
probably the championship of Kent

Reasons For Spring Fever
BY a Junior

We juniors have many reasons
1.-THE teachers call them excuses SO
that we won't have to work. to eX-
plain that queer lazy feeling that
comes on us each spring. This
disease is very queer one. 1t
causes us to detest all of our les
sons excepting none. 1t makes us
feel homesick while in school. It
makes us look with longing at the
out-of-doors. We sit in the rooms
and hear the birds sing and the
shouts of the ball playing or mar
BILE shooting of little children. All
of this goes to make us actually
desire to be out with them, singing
and palying. 1t makes us hate to
get up in the morning, more than
usual Many of US even fall down
in our studies because of this dis
ease. We feel that this disease
must come from the reaction as we
begin to think of glorious summer
and its strenuous exercises.

EVEN CHANCE

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 2 G.N.SO.
David A. LamSon's stock" zoomed
today.
AS Santa Clara county's most
famous murder trial neared a
climax, "even money" became the
wager that Lamson wins an &C.
quittal on the charge of Staying
his wife, Allene.
Both prosecution and defense,
however, believe the jury will
make long elaboration, possibly
more than 48 hours, before reach
ing verdict. The case is expected
to be submitted to the jury early
next week, or possibly this Satur-
day.
Lamson confidently expects to
win his freedom, it was learned.
Again today the courtroom was
damned and Edwin V. Mckenzie,
Lamson's brilliant counsel, con-
tinued the summation.
Mr.. Mckenzie is trying to
"drive home" the defense theory
that Allene Lamson, the attractive
Stanford University campus ia
vorite, did not die the brutal
death depicted in the States
charge, but was the victim Of an
accidental bathtub fall.

Her picture stands on the

gazed at him as he moved about

Lately the two have been quar-

About 6 o'clock this morning
the police officer, who was on the

duty at 7. He was in the bath
room, clad in his undershirt and
trousers when Miss Carter, whose
bedroom was on the same floor in
the rear, walked into the bath
room, a 32.caliber revolver in her
hand.
Before the man realized her in
tention, she fired five times in
rapid succession. Three bullets
entered his body. Two lodged in
the bathroom wall. The last bull

CONF EDERAT {
WAR VICTORY
REENACTED
II Years Ago Today Forces of
Lee Turned Back Hooker
And Saved Richmond

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, May
2.-Seventy.two years ago today,
Gen. Robert E. Lees Confederate
forces turned back the Federal
Army under Gen.. Joseph Hooker
in its drive toward Richmond, in
the famous battle Of Chancellors-
vile, but 1t was a victory that
might have spelled the ultimate
defeat Of the South in the War
Between the States.
On that day the great Gen.
"Stonewall' Jackson was MORALLY
wounded, accidentally, by his own
troops, after his corps had crushed
Towards flank and menaced
Hooker's entire army.
Richmond Saved
AS it was, Hooker retired to the
north side Of the Rappahannock
River to escape defeat at Lees
hands, leaving 1890 Union troops
dead, wounded or missing, to the
ConfederateS' losses Of 12,700.
Thus Richmond was saved for
the time being and the war went
on for another year.
Today that Battle Of Chancel-
louisville will be reenacted, but this
time "Hooker's Army" is encamped
on the famous battlefield without
fear of Lee. The army" consists
Of 1000 Marines and members OF
the Fort Myer (Va.) cavalry.
The Fredericksburg and SpotSyl'
vania National Park, the scene OF
the momentous battle of 1868, had
assumed a warlike atmosphere to-
day. More than 500 tents were up
and at the end Of each company
street was a modern army kitchen
that contrasted with those that
served the boys in blue and gray.
Dignitaries Watch
The Marines were under com.
mand of Capt. w. w. Davis, with
Col. Kenyon M. Joyce, comman
dant Of Fort Myer, leading the
cavalry. Guns Of Battery F, 111th
Field Artillery, were to be manned
by cadets Of the Virginia Military
Institute, where Stonewan Jack.

FREIGHT
EXPECTED To
REACHPEAk
Will Soon Pass 1929 Record
of 584 Million Tons, Says
Army Engineer Chief

Within a "few years" the 1879
peak of freight tonnage carried
by water in this country will be
greatly surpassed" Maj. Gen.
Edward M. Markham, chief OF
the U. S. Army Engineers, told
500 delegates at the thirtieth con-
vention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress today at
the Mayflower.
According to the Army Eng1'
neers record, the 1929 figure was
584 million tons, he said, valued
at $4,000 million dollars. The
indications point to an increase
for 1894 over the 1888 tonnage
of 384 million tons worth 1850
million dollars, he added.
Speaking in an optimistic tone,
General Markham stated:
1--WE believe prosperity to be
definitely in sight. With its
return, we expect to have
actual waterway improvement
ready to serve prosperity, as
plans and organizations were
available to fight the de-
preston"
NEEDS MORE FUNDS
The Army engineer stated that
his program required additional
funds for completion. Projects
which he listed are the develop
ment of the Delaware River from
Philadelphia to Trenton, the
intra-coastal waterway along the
Atlantic, the canal project for
the upper Mississippi, regulation
for the Missouri River, and con-
struction of the Fort Peck
Reservoir.
Lieut.. Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engi-
neer Commissioner Of the District
Of Columbia, welcomed the dele
gates, commencing them upon
their helpful" attitude toward
the Nations well-being.
Representative Joseph j. Mans
field CD of Texas, chairman of
the Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors, termed national waterways
"a free and priceless inheritance
Of the people and a necessity to
every American individual and to
every American home"
Cites Big Returns
Citing the return Of $4,000 mil
lion dollars yearly from an eX-
penditure of 1000 million dollars
over a period of years on water
way development, Mr.. Mansfield
stated:
eve must be able to furnish
adequate low rate transporta-
ton facilities T we are to COM
pete successfully with other ma
tionS where transportation rates
are often extremely low"
An appeal for enlargement and
improvement Of harbors in Puerto
Rico was made by Maj. Gen. Blan-
ton Winship, governor general Of
the island.
According to General Winship,
Puerto Rico is the seventh largest
customer Of the United States and
ranks next to Canada among our
trade neighbors in the Western
world. The governor general be-
lieves Puerto Rico will assume
more important trade role with
the United States if her water
com merce can be developed
through harbor improvements.

Will Rogers
Says:

SANTA MONICA, CAL, May
2.-The great argument with
all Americans, who want to
join in with Europe and help
set the world right, was that
anyone that was not Of 1t was
pretty narrOw-minded, and
selfish. In plain words, it's the
dumb folks that are 'agin' 1t.
Well, read the papers. The
premiers Of Canada, Australia,
South Africa and New Zealand
have never been considered
anything but intelligent yet
they notified England to quit
messing around on the opposite
bank of the English Channel.
So the American dumb ones
are in pretty good company.
