Automobile Thieves Active

A new automobile belonging to j..
Everett Walls was stolen from the
garage iE the rear of his home in
Middletown one night recently.
Several other garages were broken
open and entered the same night,
but the cars wr all scurely locked.
According to Mr.. Walls, the car
was locked and the keys in his
pocket. Another new car of a diff
ferent make stood beside the stolen
car and the car thief evidently
looked it over before making his
selection. The theft was discover
ed the next morning and reported
to Chief of Police Albert Ripple.

the boys mother objected, and
Major remained behind. But only
for a day or two, for last week he
joined the company at Salisbury.
He was well liked, but Mr.. GUM
ness suspected that he had run
away from home, and telegraphed
to Dover to find out. Major is at
home again.
On Tuesday morning of last
week, Miss Annie, youngest daugh-
ter of William Coard Burton, was
united in marriage to Randolph
Graham, a promising young educa-
tor of Milford. The ceremony was
performed at st. Georges Chapel,

G. NJ. SCHWARTZ GOOD DEED
Residents of Palmer Home, Dover,
Given Access to Capital Theatre

George M. Schwartz, manager of
the Capital Theatre, Dover; Strand
Theatre, Smyrna. and Everett The
atre, Middletown, has made a prac-
tice of always permitting residents
of both the Palmer Home and Eliz-
abeth w. Murphey School as his
guests whenever these folks desire
to witness a motion picture being
shown at the local theatre. Mr.
Schwartz Greater this practice with
the Palmer Home many years ago
and when the Murphey School was
established, some years ago, he
also extended that privilege to the
children in that school Though
fulness of Mr. Schwartz in these
matters has brought forth much
favorable comment from those who
were familiar with this practice. 1t
was, however, only recently that
the matter came to the attention
of others than the persons directly
connected with the two institutions.

SHOOTING FISH
FOUND IN SLAM
Strange Specie Are Real Ex-
perts as "Archer
Fish"
COULD TEACH GUNNERS

New York.-In the waters some
where east of Suez, lives a shoot
ing fish, that can give naval gun
ners a lesson or two when it comes
to craftsmanship. This strange crea-
ture, known as the archer fish,
lives largely on insects which it
shoots from overhanging branches
with bullets of water.
Even cigarettes have been extin-
guished by these marine sharp
shooters, according to Hugh M.
Smith, former fisheries advisor to the
Kingdom of Siam. During his stay
in the East, Mr.. Smith studied these
fish in the Philippines, French In
do China, Siam, Malaga, Burma
and India.
wild fish planted in large pond in
the compound of my residence in
Bangkok were under close observa-
ton for a number Of years." writes
Mr.. Smith in Natural History pub
lished by the American museum.
Most Efficient.
"Of the oriental fresh-water fishes
with. which / am acquainted in the
wild state, none gives such an i'm
preston of intelligence and efficien-
cy as does Toxotes (the archer fish).
This impression grows on an observ-
er as he notes the purposeful way
in which a fish moves about in a
stream, canal, or pond; the zeal and
thoroughness with which it explores
aquatic and overhanging land plants
for insects; the high development of
its sense of sight in both air and wa
ter; the skill displayed in dislodg-
ing insects and seizing them as they
fall into the water; the alertness in
avoiding danger; and the readiness
in adapting itself to life in small
ponds and responding to the atten-
tions of persons who provide food.
"A friend of mine, a distinguished
scion of the royal family of Siam,
and an ardent student of fishes, had
a residence on the broad Menam
Chao Phya above Bangkok and used
to entertain American and Euro
pean guests with shooting-fish per-
formances. A veranda on which he
took many Of his meals was direct
ly over the water, and under it Tox-
otes could be found almost daily,

Personalities
By Nellie Dodson

dSury 4uOmdS, OAVc1S1ty
man, is the contributor to the
poets corner this week. It is my
opinion that his poetry shows
talent because it really says some
thing and doesn't wander aimless-
" around, and because it contains
unified, well thought out subject
matter.
'De Chilluns Gittin' Grown"
Wen de parlor is dim and cosy lax,
And de sofa is sof' an wahm
And de ole folks taking bout
church affairs
And de radio all turned on,
I finds myself in cushions deep
Ges 'joying myself about home
AS I hears Pa as he SEE to Ma,
"De chilluns gittin' grown"
Den I hears Ma as she SEE to Pa,
"Dey is got to 'spect our rights
An as long as dey stays under dis
roY
Dey is got to be 'spectful n polite"
"Now, Ma we'se seed our day
N now de's pas n gone
There no use gittin' in young folks
way
Case you know de's gittin' grown"
"Pa, youse jes takin' sides wild dem
And you know de amt right
An because of dat confound tele-
phone
You couldn't git no sleep las
night"
Pa jes sits n rocks n puffs
And adds a word now and then
And sometimes mods yes to Ma
And knocks his pipe and grins.
Then Ma up in her Eighty way
Says she amt putin wild sin,-
"Cause eberthing the chillun do
Is OBJ the devils kim"
Before Pa started for bed he said,
"Ma, jes leave 'em alone,
De no use gittin' in young folks
way
When you know de's gittin'
grown"
Now Ma sits by the fireplace
And sings church hymns and
means
An finally agrees "Pa's right
De chilluns gittin' grown"
Just then the radio blast right out
And drowned out Mas church song.
And Ma put US all to rout
Sayin', 81 'spects youse gittin' too
grown.
Jes turn dat confound thing right
off
An git a softer tone.
Yer Pa he got to go to work
In spite Of yer gittin' grown"
Mr.. Thomas contributes a second
poem, and I'm going to print that,

"What's Mani"
What's Man?
Most significant nothing!
Gods noblest thought in clay,
The shadow of tomorrow,
The illusion Of today.
What's Man?
Everything and nothing!
A part Of all he makes and mars,
A part Of God, a part Of the devil,
A part Of earth, sky, and the stars.
What's Man?
Why he's a dreamer,
The mind is his greatest tool,
He's q builder and a schemer,
He's a wise man and a fool.
He's king and he's vassal,
He's master and slave,
He's selfish and kindly,
He's cowardly and brave.
He's religious and sinful,
He's brutal and mild,

and dress accessories. 1t is practical.
too, to 60 window-shopping and to
saunter through the dress and hat
departments in the leading stores and
look at clothes analytically.
The point of this is merely to train
your eye as thoroughly as you can in
the shortest time And then take your
self. as well as your wardrobe. in hand.
Make sure first OF all that your hair
is smartly cut, freshly washed and
carefully - neatly - arranged. If you
want business job. do not wear curls
tumbling upon your shoulders. Con-
slider just so much makeup as adds
finish to your appearance but does
not make you look artificial. Be sure
your hands look cared for, and your
nails are manicured but NOT painted
blood-red. If you have a dress or suit
that is good in cut, particularly dark
tailored one, you can probably con-
trive an up-to-date appearance by
adding new hat and smart acces-
sories such as good shoes. bag and
gloves.
This emphasis on mere details of
dress is not an empty answer. is in fact
the cure you ask for. Absurd though
it may seem, you will find that you
can easily face critical eyes the mo-
ment you are confident that such eyes
will recognize in you the type of young
woman to whom the job belongs"
1t is true, of course, that the effect
of your appearance is due only in part
to your clothes. The real evidence of
your being the one for the job is your
own personality and your own knowl-
edge that you are the person for the
job. Yet the least vain amongst us is
put at ease by knowing that our
appearance has no bad points. In
other words. a hole in our stocking or
a worn-through glove. or untidy hair,
or an ill-htting. out-of-style dress or
hat would require self-assurance to the
point of arrant conceit if we were to
escape self-consciousness.
One hint which may be helpful is to
look into your own face in mirror,

boss. Please, Mrs. Post, is there a cure
for this job fright? Surely l can't be
the only person in the world who is
afflicted with it or am l? must
get hold of myself so that can get
job. l ought to add. l think. that can
spend a month on a cure. have
enough money left from my education
fund to take care of me for at least
four months But then 7"
In answer to this, l can assure you
that you are NOT the only sufferer
from lob fright" At a guess l should
say that the majority of those who
are. for the first time. seeking posi-
tions. which in any way depend on
their own personalities. feel as you do
perhaps more so! In fact. it seems
to me that even subtracting your dis
advantages from your advantages
ought to leave a more than salts
factory balance.
To begin with, it seems plain that
the whole trouble traces to the scene
that your letter describes: The per-
fectly groomed. probably cookbook
ing, woman seated at ease behind the
reception desk. and you standing i'll
at ease in front of her. The fact that
you had never thought about it before
intensified your awareness of the I'M
finished crudeness of the raw product
- yourself.
And then at the very moment of
seeming stripped of every admirable
qualification and wrapped only in the
ugly garb of your newly realized in
feriority. you had to try to put your
best foot forward and make the per-
sonnel director choose you from among
all the other applicants as the one best
qualified. No wonder you developed
bad case of aphasia.
And the cure? 1t is something so
superficial and trifling that it sounds
almost like suggesting that you hold
a break in dam with tissue paper.
And yet. as you know, a piece of tis-
sue paper over the overflow outlet of a
tubful of water will keep it tight. The
metaphorical tissue paper in your case
is to build up the most perfect busi-
ness personality your skill can devise.
The first step is to fit yourself to
encounter all reception clerks with
nonchalance. In short, take a leaf
from the experts of Hollywood. To do
this you should first train your eye to
recognize smart appearance. Then
appraise your own assets.
The woman who never acquires a
chic appearance is one who reverses
this order. She studies herself with
out any yardstick of fashion to 60 by.
To train your perception. you can 60

public library and look at the illus
