FORTUNE AGAINST
EAGLE GR|DDERS
Poor Kick Puts Life Savers
in Position to Ring Up
Winning Marker.

n YEW LONDON. Conn.,. October
nj 24.-The United States Coast
Guard Academy avenged q de.
L feat at the hands Of American
University last year when it eked out
q l4-7 win over the Washington eleven
today.
-Four thousand shivering spectators
thrilled to the powerful offense Of the
District youths, only to see the Life
Savers capitalize on breaks and mis-
plays.
The Eagles opened the game by
forcing the Service team deep into
its own territory. But it wasn't until
the second quarter that blood was
drawn.
As It opened the Cadets were on
their own 10-yard line after q sue
cessful goal-line stand. At this point
Bill Cass got on a 50-yard kick to
Winslow on the American A. The
pony Eagle back here began series
of long runs that brought the spec
tators to their feet time and time
again. He carried the punt to the
Coast Guard 80 and then on the first
four plays to the 81. Then, in order,
Bartlett took q reverse around left
end to the IS, Toner tossed q pass to
Rogers on the o and another to Bart
lett over the goal line for touchdown.
Winslow took the ball over for the
extra point.

= TUNING in its simplicity,
smartly Of the moment in its
uppish sleeves, this frock gains
- for its wearer the enviabIe title
Of "a well-dreSsed woman" A fas-
cinating frock for your Fall wardrobe.
Simple, but not severe, is the key
note Of the gracefully fared skirt and
Edwardian peplum, looking quaint and
enchanting. A small turn-down collar
Is nipped at the sides Of the throat
by two star clip pins while the de-
tachable cascade jabot renders a
youthful and becoming appearance.
Use the same pattern and make two
frocks-one with the jabot and pep
lurn, the other without. Whichever
you choose, it will fit with the new
easy grace and appear equally lovely
in velveteen, satin, crepe or silk.

perfectly able to do her housework.
You are certainly giving your daugh-
ter raw deal and unless you change
your methods you can be very sure
Of one thing, and that is that you will
lose her.
DEAR MISS DIX: MY husband and
have been married for 10 years,
have three children and up to now
we have always been very happy.
Recently my husbands widowed
mother and his brother had to break
up housekeeping and my husband
suggested that they come and live
with us. / refused, but he got very
mad with me so I gave in and they
are with us. But am not content.
want to be alone with my family.
There are other children they could
live with. Don't you think it would
be wise for them to get little place
of their own? Shall tell them how
I feel? DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
Answer-Whenever it Is possible it
is much better for the children to club
together and establish a widowed
mother in a home of her own, or q
good boarding house than it is to take
her into their families. 1t makes for
the happiness of all concerned.
Old people cannot slip into their
children's home without making fric-
ton. They are always discontented
and critical of new ways to which
they cannot adjust themselves. No
man has right to bring his family
into his home when his wife is op-
posed to it and it makes her unhappy;
nor has any wife the right to infiict
her family on her husband.
When, however, it is a financial
necessity for an old man or woman
to live with his or her children, the
burden should not be dumped, as it SO
often is, on one. The children should
share it. But the inlaws, no matter
how much the advent of mother or
father-in-law disrupts their house,

consideration and kindness, remember
ing what pitiful thing it is to be an
enforced guest and know that one IS
unwelcome.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX am a
girl Of l6, rather pretty, but
wear glasses. I have noticed that
girls not so attractive as I am, but
who do not wear glasses are much
more popular both with boys and
girls. Should I wear my glasses and
be comfortable when I go out, or
should I discard them during school
hours and not see very well2 C.R.
Answer-Wear your glasses. They
have nothing to do with your popu-
larity or lack of it. Modern glasses
are not dtsfguring. Often they give
a piquant expression and light up an
otherwise dull face.

Business Courtesies
and Professional
Names.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Cd I always
~ forget to ask you, until after a
vacation is over, what Is best to write
at the end of messages to friends
written on scenic postcards of the
variety that one sends of interesting
places. Even though contrary to the
usual signature, would it be con-
sidered bad form in such cases to
write Mrs. Lee Smith? ~ And in
sending kilograms, what is the rule?
80 Also, in sending flowers to a
funeral of a relative, is it customary
to inclose a card from Aunt Mary
and Uncle John or from MIR. and
Mrs?
Answer-O) To those who unques-
tionably know your handwriting, you
sign your initials only-very likely
the initial of your first name. To
less intimate friends and to acquaint-
ances, you sign A. K. Smith. (2)
Business kilograms are signed Mrs.
John Smith. A professional person
signs her name without title. Social
kilograms are always sent from Mary
Smith" (3) Inclose your double
visiting card exactly as engraved.
y
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband and
I were entertained rather lavishly by
business friends of his in another
city. 1t was strictly business, how
ever, even though on one or two oc-
casions the wives of the men were
also with us. Since I'm home I've
been wondering whether there is
anything I ought to do to show any
personal appreciation Of their gen.
erous hospitality, and If so. to whom
and what.
Answer-Under ordinary circum-
stances your husband probably wrote
to these men and you would do moth
ing further. But If an especial
woman was personally friendly I
think it would be very nice to send
her a note with q book, or perhaps
a box of candy. I wouldn't make
either very important.

Take Along
Toys When
Travelling
Children Soon Become
Weary Watching
Scenery.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

TRAVELLING soon becomes tire
some to children. They need to.
stretch their bodies and exercise their
muscles. The change from activity
and from set habits adds to the weari-.
ness and discomfort of body and
mind. If the children can have some
unexpected plaything their distress is
modified and their guardians peace Of
mind somewhat restored.
When taking children on a trip
take a hamper Of toys that can be
used on the way. New ones are best
If that can be arranged. Picture
books are ideal. If story books are
taken along be sure that the paper
is good and the type Is clear. Quiet
games such as sliced animals, knit
ting on spools, nests Of boxes, puzzle
rings, a wad of modelling wax (clay
or plastecine are bothersome), a
tinker toy, tracing books with crayon-
waxed crayon are good.
Do not take breakable things,
things that might spill or smear,
things that might cut or otherwise
injure the child or others. Take the
simplest things that q child likes to
busy himself with, the sort that takes
time to work out, and hand them out
one by one.
Arrange to have some good stories
to tell. Make them short and dra-
matte. Use the repetitive ones for
the younger children. They like to
join in on such tales as who Killed
Cock Robin?" "This Is the House
That Jack Built" "Pig. Pig Go Over
the Brig" Prepare for the children's
amusement so that they will not suf-
fer boredom or make others suffer by
their suffering.
On a week long journey it is good
to have q box or little hamper that
carries a planned amusement for each
day In the week. Each Is dated and
ready to be brought forth on occasion.
This makes the next day something
to look forward to with pleasure
rather than resentment. One cannot
blame children who resent being set
adrift on a sea Of loneliness among
adults who are busy with their own
affairs.
Do not take along toys that are
likely to bring down the wrath Of the
other travellers upon your child's
head. Don't, for example, give a
child one Of the squawkers, the pigs
and sausages and such contraptions
that emit horrible dying shrieks as
they slowly collapse. Travellers have
been known to VOW murder because
Of such tortures.
Balls are equally Objectionable be-
cause they are forever getting under
chairs. It does a testy old gentleman
no good to have to keep rising from
his chair to redeem a vagrant ball.
And one does not want ones hearts
delight to be followed by the unex-
pressed curses Of q group OF fellow
Passengers because Hearts Delight
wants to ride on some nice old gen
tleman's foot, or play horse on the
arm of some dowager's chair.
Take some toys along even on the
shortest trip. Bring them out as a
surprise. This will save the children
many a weary hour, and save parents
and nurses much wear and tear.
Children cannot be expected to re-
main stationary and quiet for any
length Of time. They will make
trouble II they are imposed upon this
way. A boxful of toys will make all
the difference to them.

Few Beauty
Hints for
Motorists
Experienced Tourist
Outlines Helpful
Routine.
nv ELSIE PIERCE,

CHE Is a teacher and q motorist. has
for some years longed to spend
Summer on the "road-the wide open
highway" and now that the dream has
come true she finds that road not
nearly as smooth as 1t ought to be
well, not figuratively. anyway.
Fortunately for her she discovered a
few things after q few weeks, and now
has a few weeks still to go.
But perhaps you late vacationists
who are also motorists and have but
q few weeks will profit by her expert
ences. Here Is her letter. or part Of it:
First day-like most things in life,
even sunburn is one sided. Soon found
that the outside side Of my face, II you
know what mean, got sunburned and
irritated more than the other. Since
you can't change the position of the
wheel or the face soon discovered
that a little more foundation cream
and powder on that side helped to bal
ance matters.
Second day-hair dry. disheveled. 4.
Hard to get a comb through. Snarls
and plenty. More brushing and comb
ing needed. Use of tonic to cleanse
scalp of perspiration and dust. Also
spray Just little brilliantine on hair
before combing and setting before
days tripping starts. And wear either
a net, beret or triangular hairkerchief.
The last is swell. That does the trick.
II you have to wear hat, make sure
that it is tight enough to have the curls
nestle under 1t, but not too tight to be
uncomfortable.
Like to wear gloves, very thin ones,
otherwise calloSites form from driving.
But gloves soil so. Very soft string
gloves are good. Colored ones more
practical. But keeping one or two
pairs in pocket Of car and merely rms
ing every night means a dry, clean
supply next morning.
Car pocket, by way. is my travelling
toilet table. Day by day gadget or jar
has been added, but now have
cleansing cream, tissues, a cleansing
lotion and a skin tonic, foundation
cream, large compact with loose pow
der, emory boards, eau de cologne. Oc-
casionally when I'm tired pull up
and makeup. Sometimes paSsersby
glare, but what do care. gone is the
flushed, windswept, sun-smitten look.
Fact is, a friend said look fresh and
dainty at the end Of a journey, just as
at the beginning"
You'll enjoy your trip more and look
none the worse for wear if you fortify
and protect yourself against scorching
sun, irritating dust, beauty-wrecking
winds. Know how?

Keeping Cut Flowers.

Discount the stories you hear about
aspirin, salt or sugar reviving fading
blooms. Exhaustive scientific tests
have shown them to be Of no value
whatever. The most beneficial treat
ment for whiting flowers is to take
them one by one and cut of an inch
or more Of their stems under water.
A slanting cut with a sharp knife is
best. This sends flow of moisture
into them which often works won
ders.

The Old Gardener Saws:

Plant Madonna lilies as soon
as the bulbs can be obtained.
Very satisfactory Americana grown
bulbs are being produced and
they are ready now. 1t must be
kept in mind that the Madonna
lily demands different treatment
than most lilies. For example, it
should be planted only or 8
inches deep instead of 6 or 8
inches, like most kinds. It also
prefers an open sunny position
instead Of a place in the shade.
The combination of delphiniums
and Madonna lilies is one of
which many women are very
fond, but this combination has
been made so often that it is now
somewhat monotonous. Women
who seek originality will devise
new ways in which to use this lily
and still retain the value which
comes from its association with
other flowers.

HOLIDAY TRADE OUTLOOK

Dispatches from business centerl
give hopes that the holiday trade
will be the best since 1929. The
people have more money to spend
than they had a year ago. The bet
ter times in the factories, greater
prosperity on the farms, and heavy
tourist travel the past summer, in
dictate that the country is on the up
grade.
The people are going to buy a lot
of things for Christmas that they
felt they could not previously af-
ford. Two things are necessary to
make the trade a success. One is
for the people to make the resolve
to spend this great amount of money
at home so far as possible. If they
live in a good trading center like
Milford, this is entirely possible. The
other essential is advertising. If
goods are not advertised, the bulk
of the trade will go elsewhere.

HAVE YOU GIVEN1

When you read of the noble work
which the American Red Cross has
done in relieving the victims of dis
aster, in helping people take care
OF themselves, the question arises
why more people do not contribute
to this splendid work.
The reason is that it is not DOS
sible to send canvassers to every
home in the land and ask for a gift.
If that could be done, if the work
accomplished was told in detail to
all. it would seem that most peo-
pie would gladly make some con-
tributiOn, even if a small one.
AS just one item, the Red Cross
cared for 10000 stricken families in
II flood swept states in 1886. Who
would refuse a gift to those pathetic
families, driven from their homes by
a torrent of dirty water. And as
things of that kind are happening
all the time, shall we refuse aid? It
could be wished that every family
which has dollar to spare, might
respond to this call, and send it to
the nearest Red Cross center.
Milford chronicle., 1936-11-27
TOO MuCH Success TALKl

Some educators complain that
young people are constantly urged
to be "go getters," to go out and win
success. Then when they go out in
the world and fail to make money
and acquire some wealth, they sink
back bitter and disillusioned.
Not many people can become
wealthy. The world may look at the
rich man as brilliantly successful,
but if he can't adjust himself to life,
he will not regard himself in that
way. The man without a dollar, but
with his two strong hands and abil-
ity to do good work and find a job,
may plod along day after day en-
joying life, and getting more out of
it than those who are rolling in lux
ury. We need a new and more ac-
curate yardstick than money with
which to measure success.

EFFECT OF NOVELTY

The human mind dislikes same
ness. It likes variety. That is why
enterprising business concerns keep
making changes in the display Of
their goods. They are not like the
old-fashloned merchant, who adver-
tised lawn mowers repaired" until
II was time for the snow 60 fall, and
then had a notice Of skates shar-
pened" until midsummer.
If a merchant carries the same
STUFF in his show window week after
week, the people will get tired of
looking at it, and whatever he offers
ceases to attract attention. It is
one of the merits Of business as con-
Quoted in Milford that our merchants
are up on their toes, constantly put
ting their best foot forward and
striving to interest the people with
new and novel displays. Come in
and look them over, you folks way
out on the back roads!

THE GOOD SAMARITAN

When Jesus Christ was on earth
he told a story which has a close
application to life here in Delaware
today. He told how a man was at
tackled by robbers. and left half
dead by the roadside. Two officials
of the mans own country saw him,
but passed by on the other side, and
did nothing for him. A Samaritan,
a citizen of a country despised in
those parts, took pity on him. He
took the wounded man to an inn,
and provided generously for his
care. The hearers of this story were
told to go and do likewise.
The calls for help today are not
as obvious as they were in those
old times. We go through our
streets and almost never see any
body lying half dead by the roadside.
Millions of people are suffering
from the misfortunes of life, and
frequently go unrelieved. The suf-
fering people are located in the back
streets of cities and towns, or re-
mote country places, and their plight
is often forgotten and neglected.
The function of caring for these
unfortunate folks is undertaken by
many charitable and philanthropic
Yet the calls on them are
so enormous, that they do not begin
to have money enough to care for
all these unfortunates.

'crms this service on a great scale,

'us that 1t can not begin to render
