CORONER T. H. WRIGHT
SURPRISED

Our genial Coroner, Thomas H.

on Wednesday night of his life. He
had been sitting in his arm chair
for sometime and just enough
drowsiness was stealing over him
tos uggest the more comfortable
position which the bed offered to
aged and weary limbs. when with
out ceremony, wide opened the
door and in thronged the people,
the whole company numbering sev-
enty persons. He was sufficiently
aroused by this time to know it
was no dream, but in his bewilder-
ment he called out, what does this
mean; give me my hat and let me
out of here" and OF he started for
the back door when he was caught,
brought back to the center Of the
crowd who warmly congratulated
him on having reached with his
second wife their 25th wedding an
niversary. The invaders brought
with them all the necessary artic-
les for a rich feast, and a number
Of presents to leave as mementoes
of their "silver wedding" 1t is
seldom the coroner is caught un-
aware, but he owns up that this
occasion "got him.

Emotions Before Giving A
Defamation

What a terrible suspense! Sit
ting, waiting for your name to be
called to give that defamation
which has caused you gray hairs.
Your knees shake, your ears burn.
you wiring your hands, and you
breathe as though your heart were
in your throat. all due to mere
fright of getting up before your
classmates and speaking. Well,
that's just how I felt before I rose
to give mine. When I gave the
title, a lump came in my throat
and my mouth became so dry, it
felt as if it were parched. When
I had completed about half of my
defamation broke out with per-
spiration and my face was burning
all because of nervousness. Final
ly, l was saying the last words and
sat down with a sigh of relief.
This is one reason and a very
good reason why there should be
more oral speaking in our school
to overcome that fear of getting
up before your classmates or the
public and speaking.

Baseball Prospects

Smyrna High School has always
had one of the best baseball teams
in Kent County. Baseball has been
a consistent winner. In each of
the last two seasons Smyrna has
won eight and lost three.
We lost several veteran high
school players by last years grad
uation. Our "ace" catch, Magill,
who never dropped foul fly will
be hardest to replace. We also
miss our star shortstop Bobby"
Everett who never became scared
of a ground ball until last year and
he had a good reason to be, (the
roughened condition of the dia-
mondD. Stanley Boyd, our speedy
fiy-chaser, will also be missed as
he was as fast a center fielder as
Smyrna ever boasted.
This year the shortstop and
catchers positions are the two
problems faced by Coach Pearl.
Smyrna High always has many
outfield prospects and this year is
no exception. Bunny Lawton,
Ronald Grier, Jimmy Truax,
Jackie" Gooding, and Wallace
Powell as relief pitcher also, are
the main outfield aspirants. Joe
Parker has the first base position
if his knee heals sufficiently. Law
renee Ford. and Roscoe Radish will
battle it out for second and one
of them might move over to short
stop. Third base viii be alternate
ly played by Taylor and Thawley.
When one pitches, the other plays
third. Carlton Smith is the only
catching prospect. With sufficient
practice I believe we will have a
successful baseball season.

Will We Soon Have "Odor" Films i?


This is a question which may or
may not be answered in the next
few years. When there is a scene
containing a flower, will the sweet
smelling aroma of roses and other
flowers overspread the audience :?
There are two French scientists
working to accomplish this feat at
the present. 1t is not well known
how they are progressing because
they do not tell the people.
There is one large drawback. If
a garden scene follows a scene in
which there is bad odor, can the
odor of the former scene be taken
away? Is there some way in which
we can avoid the peoples clothing
becoming saturated with some i'll
smelling odor.
There has been so much accom-
plished by scientists in late years
that there is no reason why this
cannot be accomplished.

Nevis young master approached
the nurse, anger in his eyes.
Doctors orders" the nurse whis-
pered. She patted him and left the

The tired man and the doctor
conferred again by the window.
Nevis master seemed lost in thought.
The nurse returned with a low bowl
of milk, with tiny cubes of white
bread soaking in it, and placed it on

at Nevis master, and showed him
an old leather glove, almost as big
as Newt. The boy managed grin,

he asked. They were momen-

piled.

He would have a good home, son."
the man answered.
Then the kid can have him." the
boy said. He picked up his cap,
scratched the sleeping Newt behind
the ear and paused at the door.
Call him Newt" he said.
When Nevis former master ar
rived at his home, he sat on the
back step before going into the house.
His gaze rested on the wooden box
with its damp, lumpy pillow where
Newt had lain the night before, try
ing to keep warm. He touched the
tiny toenail scratches on the back
door.
He KICKED a chewed bed room
slipper, the cause of Nevis most
recent election.
Then he viSioned him, tussling with
the big glove, probably dumping over
the bread and milk and in his puppy

all of them, the doctor, the tired man,
the nurse and even the bandaged boy
on the bed smiled indulgently.

Newt would curl up on his young
masters shoes and tug at the twine
he used for shoelaces. The boy never
disturbed him when he dozed off be-
cause he might whimper, and the
whimper echoed of loneliness for four
brother and sister pups and for the
spitz-spaniel mother dog that had
been killed by car.
Newt couldn't even do tricks In
motion, he was a miniature jugger-
naut-they would yell, Newt" at
him and he still would pursue fan
cied mouse into the coal bucket or
founder into the pan that caught
the drippings from the kitchen
drain.
HIS life was becoming a never
finished struggle with two prob
lems-to eat and to keep warm.
One day his young master took
him for walk. They walked every
day, the master taking three steps
and then waiting for Newt to catch
up-only today, Newt outpaced his
master. They left early, to get away
from the Whirr of the sewing machine,
where his brother Bills wife stitched
hour after hour on cheap neckties.
1t got on the boys nerves-he thought,
no wonder she gets so crabby and
takes it out on Newt.
AS they walked, the boy seemed
sbsent-minded He failed to notice
an expensive car draw up to the curb,
until he heard voices.
A kindly, bewhiskered gentleman
pointed to Newt.
THAT'S what I mean, something
like that" he said to the digni-
fed. tired man at his side.
I'VE can try it," the man said.
Come here, buddy" he said to Newt S
master. Bring the pup with you"
The boy hesitated, looking first at
one and then the other. Then he
climbed into the car.
Back to the hospital" the tired
man said to the chauffeur. Newt
curled up in his masters lap and
1ell asleep.
The boy stared at the tired man,
trying to remember where he had
seen his face before. Then he vaguely
remembered having seen it in the
papers with an article about million
aire whose son had been hurt in an
accident. The bewhiskered one must
be the specialist who had flown 1000
miles to take the case.
In the big hospital room was a
high bed, surrounded by mounds of
toys. The heavily-bandaged boy in
the bed lay quiet. Even his opened
eyes were motionless.
THE tired man smiled at him, held
Newt up to where the boy could
