Nothing to Do"

The life around Smyrna seems
very dull. Very seldom does any
thing exciting happen. During the
day time we go to school and in
the evening we do our lessons. If
they are done, we go to Snaps.
Usually the same thing follows day
after day.
1t would be nice if some individ-
ual would provide the younger gen.
Grafton of Smyrna and surround
ings with place of amusement;
something that's new and would
hold the interest of the people.
think most people look forward
to summer. There is always some
thing to hold ones attention then.
You don't have to go to school;
you can go swimming, canoeing,
and travel if you can afford it. 1t
also leaves much time for the book
worms to read.
1 guess all there is to do is wait
for summer.

Shaking Hands

Shaking hands is a very old
habit. Although people just put
out their hands and shake each
others hands, there are several diff
ferent types. The pump shake is
when your hand is squeezed real
tight. Another type of hand shake
is to show just how strong you are.
While the polite hand shake is very
dainty.
This idea of shaking hands is a
friendly way of greeting people.
We are all so used to the idea of
shaking hands with different peo-
pie we do not stop to think wheth-
er this old habit is stupid or not.
As for my personal opinion 1 do
not think anything about it for 1
consider it as an old custom which
has been more or less handed down
to us.

BILL TO CEDE
LAND TO U. A.
Measure in Legislature Pro-
videS Is or 100 Acres Near
LeWeS Beach
FOR SUBMARINE BASE

Between rs and 100 acres of land
fronting on the Delaware Bay at
Lewes, would be made available to
the Federal Government as a site
on which to build and maintain a
submarine base and other fortifca-
tions, if desired, for the protection
of the bay and river in time of war.
under the terms of q. bill passed by
the House last week The propos-
ed act was introduced by Speaker
Lyons who said, in urging favor
able action, the Secretary of War
had written to Governor G. Doug
lass Buck asking that Delaware
provide for the use of the govern
ment a tract sufficiently large for
the location of coast defenses and
intimating the land would be uti-
lized as a submarine base where
underwater craft could be station
ed, repaired and supplied. The bill
would cede to the government title
to an area along the bay front to
what is known as the cape point.
This offer will stand for eight
years and if the ground is taken
over by the government and utiliz-
ed the lease will be prolonged in
definitely. If it is not used title
will revert to the state at the emo
of the eight years. The property
in question adjoins an extensive
tract on which the government
quarantine station formerly stood
There is now on it a government
wireless station. 1t is fronted by
the deepest water along the bay
shore and is back of the harbor of
refuge or breakwater which would
make it a safe harbor at all sea-
sons of the year.

STATE CONTROL
OF MOSQUITOES
]. M. Darling, Chief of FEEDER
al Survey, Now EndOrs-
eS the Work
GOOD IN TIDE WATER

J. n. Darling, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Biological Survey, Depart
ment of Agriculture, who since last
July has been obtaining much
newspaper space with his sweeping
condemnations of mosquito control
work, claiming that it is harmful
to wildlife, has modified his state
ments in letter recently received
by w. S. Corkran, Executive Offic-
er and Engineer of the Delaware
Mosquito Control Commission. I'VE
have not been opposing mosquito
control as SUCH" states Mr.. Darl-
ing's letter, but only ill-advised or
improperly supervised projects.
Insufficient effort has been made to
coordinate these conflicting inter
ests, THE letter concludes, "and
prevent the needless destruction of
desirable forms of wild life. We
are pleased to know that you are
attempting this type Of coordina-
ton" Mr.. Darling's modification
came largely as the result of his
receiving a copy Of letter sent to
the Delaware Mosquito Control
Commission by Mr.. William NJ
Fooard, who owns the extensive
Henlopen Games Farms, located in
an area covered by mosquito con-
troll work. Mr.. Foord stated that
he believed mosquito control ditch
ing beneficial to both wild fowl
and muskrats, in that it causes
more and better feed to grow. The
president of the Delaware Game
and Fish Protective Association,
last summer after a boat trip
through the ditched marsh areas,
also stated that he considered the
work beneficial rather than harm
full. Later, however, he pointed
out, through press channels, that
he was not taking any issue with
]. N. Darling. In November, Mr.
Neil Hotchkiss, Biologist, u. S. BIZ
illogical Survey, and duck food
specialist, spent several days in the
area, and commended it as
aiding in the preservation of wild
fowl, through increasing crops of
marsh grass upon which they feed.
Since DR.. Darling's first broadside
denunciation, made before a meet
ing of the advisory board of the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, on
July IL, 1884, the Delaware Mo-
Squ1to Control Commission, desir-
ing to cooperate fully with the
game protective interests, wrote
Mr.. Darling several times, describ-
ing the methods of mosquito con-
troll work pursued, explaining why
they were not harmful to wildlife,
and inviting him to visit the pro-
ject with a view to making any
necessary suggestions. Although
Mr. Darling has not been able to
visit the Delaware mosquito con-
tro 1work, he has apparently been
convinced that his original critic
ism does not apply to tide water

DeclaInationS

Every year during the month OF
March each pupil is required to
give a defamation. 1t doesn't
seem much, but it is task for the
pupils, as they mostly put it off
until the last minute. The length
of time is from five to twelve min
utes, and at times it's hard to find
one for that length of time. 1t
isn't hard for some pupils to learn
q defamation but for others its a
great task. 1t is very interesting
to hear the different pupils give
their declamations and show how
well they can really do it. After
the declamations are over, the
teacher decides the best from the
class and then a contest is held for
the county. Then later the best
ones enter the state contest.

The New Straw Rick

The thresher was going out the
lane when an idea popped in our
heats to try the new straw rick.
Down the lane we scampered, try
ing to keep out of the sight of
Daddy.
Hide and go-seek would be the
game to play on this new rick. MY
older sister, Martha, hid her face,
SO we could hurry and hide. UP I
climbed on the straw rick, saw a
deep hole to hide. I gave a big
jump and landed in this hole.
Down! Down! and going deeper.
I began shouting but it was all
in vain, my voice was lost in the
new straw. Thoughts of every
slow death came into my mind;
won't they ever come to my res
cue? Gee. it must be boring to
die slowly. "Ohl Martial. !" no
answer. Well, here go.
Later Martha and my brother
started a search for me and found
me unconscious in the hole in the
straw rick.
This win always be a lesson to
wait until it rains on the newly
made straw rick two or three
times before have a game of
hide-and-go-seek on a straw rick
again.

Good Sportsmanship in All School
Activities

Good sportsmanship always pays
when you are playing in school
sport because if you are not a
good clean sport no one likes you
and no one will like to see you
play. Even your team might turn
against you. You will always come
out in the end. Some times you
may be pushed or showed around in
a game and the rerferee will not
see it, but you just wait for a
while and try to keep from getting
mad and you will find it will be
better than trying to push him
around because the referee might
see you right away and it would
not be good sportsmanship.
When you go to a game don't
boo the other team, just cheer for

must give credit to those who gave
their time and ability trying tc
keep Smyrna in the race for the

Smyrna basketball teams have
passed an unsuccessful season be-
cause they have not had a sufficient

TEMPERANCE TALKS
BY Lucy Smith Guseman
CLAYTON. Delaware

by Lucy Smlpn GuSemdn
Clayton. Delaware
Help a little; Lift little!
Neighbors, lend helping hand
To thy heavy-laden brother,
Who from weakness scarce can
stand
What to thee, with thy strong
spirit
Seems a light and easy load,
Is to him ponderous burden,
Cumbering his pilgram road.
Help a littlei Lift a little.
Many they that need thy aid;
Many lying on the roadside,
Meath misfortunes dreary shade.
Pass not like the priest and Levite,
Needless of thy felloW-man,
But with heart and arms extended,
Be the Good Samaritan"
What we need in these perilous
times. friends, is a helping hand
and the following pledge adopted
by the Order of the Good Samari-
tans in 1847: Il do furthermore
promise that I will neither make,
buy, nor use as 2 beverage any
spirituous or malt liquors, and that
| will discountenance the use and
traffic in alcoholic drinks of every
kind; that | will use all moral and
honorable means within my power
to put a stop to the practice of
legalizing the same, and will, so
far as practicable, seek to reclaim
the inebriate from the error Of his
ways"
Friends of Temperance, we must
arm ourselves for the battle and
go into it with the determination
to win. There is a great Call to
the Colors" all over the United
States with this as our motto
That I may give my best to my
country, l promise to abstain from
the use of all alcoholic liquors"
The Superintendent of the Della
ware Anti-Saloon League says,
That the State Liquor Control
Commission does not control the
liquor of the State. The number
of licenses are increasing each
month. Three railroads have been
issued licenses, and liquor is being
sold on passenger trains running
through this state. There is an
evidence of drunkenness
and disorder, as a result of the sale
of liquor. 1t seems as though the
Liquor Control Commission is more
interested in the consumption of
liquor than in its control. We be-
lieve that the system is a failure,
and we must make every effort to
curtail the multiplicity of liquor
stores and distributors. We be- /!
lieve that our best plan at present |
would be to educate, organize, and
as soon as possible, begin a sys-
tematic campaign for local option
elections in the many districts of /
the State
To save our young people must
be our great aim. To do this there T
must be constant warfare T
against intemperance in the homes, I
schools and churches. A writer
for one of our leading papers says
that this generation proposes to
drink its way to prosperity, smoke
its way to health, entertain its way
to wisdom, sin its way to joy and
and war its way to
peace. Boys and girls, this can
not be done So for your own
sakes shun all temptations.

Smiles

Isn't it funny some of the smiles
one gets during the day? Nice
smiles, easy-come and easy-go
smiles, polite smiles and just plain
ordinary grins. Take, for instance,
the silly grin which does get
dreadfully annoying. A person who
just shows his teeth all the time
gets terribly tiresome. The ever
ready smile is the smile I think
most people enjoy. The smile that
makes you forget that you are an
cry is the smile that many would
admire. Then, too, comes the
habitual smile which comes, of
course, when one is being introduc-
ed: a sort of bored mechanical
smile. Then comes the smile of
the hitch-hiker, that, after time
has passed, becomes mad smile
which just stays there when one
has been passed few times and
after a time becomes a very fool
ish one. Of course, we must not
forget the polite smile which al
ways has to appear after a very
silly joke has been told, when, just
to be sociable, one smiles. Most
important of all is the smile of
love and complete happiness which
lights up the whole face. And
now this theme is done, I give a
smile of complete satisfaction

Place: Beside a fire and seated
on cots.
Talk: A discussion of the days

Doctor Mueller: Boys, it looks
better every day for US
James Fleming: Indeed it does,
Doctor"
Jimmy Cullger: How did the
people die and leave this village
1 wouldn't have left had 1 been
here.
Doctor: From the history it is
hard to tell why these perfectly
civilized people left their large city.
Some say a disease swept the coun-
try while others say they were
wiped out by the Spanish"
James Fleming: But with their .
being civilized it is a wonder they
couldn't protect themselves from
either of the perils you have men
toned"
Doctor: Many things have oc-
CURED, my boy, that this world
will never learn"
Jimmy: There sure is a long
history of the Aytis, isn't there,

Doctor: IF we do as well as we
did today, we will learn many
things about this civilization that
no other white man knows"
Jimmy: II bet that big marble
building we saw with the polished
granite steps has not been seen by
many white men"
Doctor: (Laugh) Il guess not"
James: That huge building, or
rather, building, 1 guess was the {
