SCRAP IRON

Scrap iron is quoted as worth II
times as much as five years ago. This
renewed market should help dispose
of a lot of junk that formerly was
dumped along the roads.
Countless automobiles and other
articles within recent years have
been thrown away along rOadsides,
there to gather rust and constitute
a blot on the landscape. Now that
scrap metal is valuable. millions OF
automobiles and other things should
go TO the junk man, rather than to
dumps where they were carelessly
left to disfigure the landscape. When
sold for scrap. they add to the wealth
OF a nation. If dumped along the
roads. they are worse than total
loss. in that they disiigure the sur
roundings.

VISITORS INSPECT Us

Summer brings many visitors and
tourists to and through Milford.
They carry away impressions. favor
able or unfavorable. When they see
nice lawns. well kept houses. neatly
maintained streets. they go away
with the impression that we have a
fine town of intelligent people. who
take pride in the appearance of their
community.
If they see some place that looks
run down and shows signs of negli-
gence, the reverse kind of impression
is made These impressions made
on visitors and tourists go far to
create the reputation which a place
has in its state and section. If you
want to give your home town a good
name. keep your home place in per-

ON YOUR MOTOR TOCR

When the world began rolling on
rubber tires. it became possible for
many more millions of people to see
the country. Your boy may be able
to buy a little old used bus for a few
dollars, and get an astonishing mile
age out of it. He is likely to see 1000
miles of country for every so miles
his grandfather ever viewed.
This relative ease of movement is
said to make the young crowd rest
less. 1t does however permit the
family to obtain cheap and widely
extended vacations. If they choose
to camp out by the way. it may not
cost them much more than living at
home.
So We see many people from Del
aware roaming the roads Of America,
They have a wonderful chance to
see famous scenes of history. to be-
come familiar with distant states,
to talk with people whose origins
and traditions are quite different.
This is a valuable form of educa-
ton.
To many of these roamers. the
main thing is to cover the greatest
possible distance in the least time.
Instead of discussing the evidences
of civilization they have noted, their
conversation relates to the number
OF miles they got to the gallon of
gas, the high speed which their car
attained. and the places where they
got the most tasty hot dogs. This
does not constitute education.
1t is up to them, wherever they go.
to obey the rules of courtesy on the
road, and to conform to whatever
police regulations they may find. A
driver who tears through strange
towns without regard to their traffic
or safety is poor advertising for the
state from which he came. One who |
acts like the gentleman or lady |
everywhere, tells the people that he |
comes from a community that has
high standards of conduct.

CAN SHE COOK!

AS the newly welded couples re
turn from their honeymoon. theil
new life depends in large measure on
the kind of home which they are able
mutually to establish. The most
important test the wife has to face
is as to whether she can take food
materials and convert them into
healthful and appetizing meals. Can
she cook?
Some fortunate brides are able to
afford a maid or maids. But the
usual rule today is that the wife
must put on the kitchen apron and
handle the frying pan and the stew
pot. If the mullins come out burned
and the pie nothing but soggy dough,
the loving husband has his suffer-
ings.
If the meals continue inedible, it
takes deep affection to tolerate these
defects. They may result in harsh
words, and a diff that constantly
grows wider. The bride who has
had experience in cooking. sets sail
on the seas of matrimony like ship
pushed on by favoring winds and
currents.

WHAT July FOURTH MEANS

IL used to be customary, when tht
nations Independence day was OBJ
served, for people to gather in public
assemblies, at which time the Dec
laration of Independence of the
limited States was read. In that way
people gained clear idea OF the
reasons why Independence was de-
clared.
Our country separated itself from
Great Britain because the right oil
self government had been taken
away from our people. The citizens
of those days felt so indignant that
the rights of a free people had been
denied, that they were willing to risk
their lives and all they possessed to
defend those rights.
To the men who issued that i'm
mortal declaration on July A. l776.
liberty and freedom were the most
glorious watchwords. Said Patrick
Henry: rs life so dear or peace so
sweet as to be purchased at the price
of chains and slavery? Forbid it..
Almoghty God. l know not what
course others may take. but as for
me, give me liberty or give me
death.
I'VE must be free or die, said the
poet Wordsworth in England CEN
tury ago. That thought expressed
the American heart in 1776. Liberty
was conceived of as mans most
glorious possession. Once it was
secured, il was believed that wrongs
and expressions would be done away.
and mankind would rise to heights of
knowledge and happiness.
We have had freedom and liberty
ever since July 4, 1776. and our peo-
pie are not wholly happy yet. Many
of them will not even go to the polls
on election day to exercise the lib
erty to choose their own rulers. II
is a good idea on July Fourth to stop
a minute amid the noise of fire.
crackers and rockets, to consider
how we are using the liberties which |
the fathers risked' their lives to OBJ
tain for us.

THE sALgsMAy,s MEMORY

If you are trying to sell any kind
OF goods, you will find it pays to re-
member the particular things that
customers want. That applies both
to the proprietors of stores and TO
their employees. The reason why
many people go ahead in retail trade
is that they know just what eacn
customer wants. If one of their
patrons has shown a preference for
some kind of goods. they remember
that preference, and seek to give
that customer just what he wants.
People are pleased when their IN
dividual desires are thus recalled
and watched. They return to a
store which they feel takes speciai
plans to please them. A sales clerk
who can remember just what eacn
customer likes and wants will sell
more than one whose memory is NOT
good on that point.

MAKING OURSELVES SICK

The power of human nerves was
illustrated at sugar refinery In
Lille, France, when large numbers
of girl workers began to faint ana
drop to the floor. A medical authorI-
ty thought it due to nervousness ana
auto-suggestion.
A doctor once told a man he could
make him sick by telling him he
was going to be. Innumerable peO-
pie have felt ready to die, because
they thought they had some illness
of which they had no trace. 1t is
fine thing to study ways of improving
our health, but some people who
neglect precautions all reasonable
people should take. remain WONDER
fully healthy because they give their
nerves no chance to play mischief
with their organs.

The measure goes to unbelievable
lengths to destroy private competi

tory commissions, and IL is specifi.
cally provided that they have the au.
thority to establish rates without
regard to the Federal Power Com
missions standards for private util-
tiles.
More incredible yet, the measure
seeks to make these agencies prac-
tically immune from legal action by
private utilities whose business they
might confiscate at the expense of
investors and workers. A clause in
the bill provides that no Federal
district court may issue an injunc-
tion against a governmental power
agency unless the plaintiff posts
bend to cover all possible losses re-
sulting from the litigation. In some
cases these potential losses might
total untold millions of dollars-and
il would be obviously impossible to
post bond for that amount, In order
to have ones day in court.
1t is difficult to believe that a
measure so obviously destructive of
personal and property rights would
be drawn and seriously proposed in
a democratic country. 1t is still
worse to record that observers give
it fair chance to pass, unless the
public awakens to its threat to our

Specialization Of America
Actually Proposed

A bill recently introduced in Con-

button of electric power" II is stip-
ulated that all Federal dams here

The regions where authorities
with almost czar-like powers would
be established include the Columbia

Missouri Valley, the Arkansas Val
ley, the Great Lakes-Ohio Valley, the
Atlantic Seaboard and the Mississ-
ippi Valley. When the existing Ten
nessee Valley Authority is added to
these, 1t becomes obvious that the
objective OF the bill is a gigantic

power system blanketing the coun-
try-controlled by politicians, and

SHALL EMPLOYERS STRIKE?

As a remedy for this hilarious va
cation which workers in this country
are staging, we would suggest to d.
rectors and employers that they call
n strike against unfair advantages
which some workers and their lead
ers are taking of them. We suggest
that they close their plants and do
a little sit-down business for a
change.
If there were any reason or COM
mon sense in what the leaders are
attempting, or if it were for any other
purpose than to fatten their own per-
sonal pocketbooks OFF the wage en-
yelopes of hard working people who
are unable to help themselves, we
might feel differently about it. IL
is not a question of wages for the
workers but wages for the union
leaders and agitators.
AS we see it, no employer is under
any obligation to support any union
leader or to put him on his pay roll.
That is just where he is. ON the en-
ployer's pay roll, when he is dictat-
ing to the employers help.
If all employers would join hands,
stick together, and close down their
places of business until these vic
tins. particularly the workers, came
to their senses, this wave of strikes
that is sweeping the country would
soon end.-Industry and Labor.

THE MILK PARADE

The push milk" campaign, nov
being carried on by $500 chain va
riety and drug stores throughout the
country In an endeavor to assist
dairy farmers in disposing of heavy
seasonal supplies of fluid milk, is
being widely aided and pubiicized by
farm cooperative organizations.
Thus. in a recent editorial, the
Dairymen's League News, official
publication of the Dairymen's League
Cooperative Association of New
York, a pioneer coop in its field,
says: This is the first time so far
as we know that retail people have
engaged in a national campaign to
definitely increase the consumption
of milk. .... Dairy farmers can
help greatly by observing the stores
in their communities which are TAX

STUNTS AND SAFETY

A Red Cross authority on life saw
ing says drowning accidents occur
when young men try to show of
their swimming powers before their
girl friends. Although novices in
the water. many of them feel they
must prove their power as swimmers
to win the admiration of these mer-
maids.
Many automobile accidents occur
because young men show off their
driving powers to the bit Of fluff be-
side them. Their theory of how to
secure admiration is to pass every
thing ON the road. and guide the car
into the narrowest hole in the traf-
fic.
Many OF these swimmers should
perform their stunts in the kid wad-
ing pool, and many of these drivers
should practice on wheelbarrow.
A girl whose admiration can be won
by risky stunts will probably prove
a blank in the lottery of marriage.

The short cut formerly known as

ular among boys. When the kid re-
turned from the barber with his hair
removed almost down to the scalp,
Ma grieved, and said the beauty of
her petted darling was spoiled. But
the kid loved it. 1t made him feel

Back in political history, the fac

The 'shorthairs" were about identi-

little money had their hair cut short

and short haired women, as two
classes supposed to be eccentric.

the men are vamped by "a rag. a

Rare Case
Seeking Job, Found
To Be MirrOr-Writer

BATON ROUGE. La, Oct. %
Q.NS0.-One of the rarest all
ments in medical history, that of
mirror writing, was revealed here
recently when a 21-year-old Negro
farm laborer, Johnny Thomey, Of
Baker, La, placed his signature
ON an application card.
Thomey had applied at the Lou
isiana State employment service
office here in quest of a job. Told
to sign an application card, Tho
mey affixed his signature. When
members of the office force tried
to read it they were uncertain of
it's meaning. They did some medi-
cal research and found that the
scribble was that Of a mirror
writer.
Legibility is perfect when the
writing is held up to mirror.
Thomey was examined by an eye
specialist, and was pronounced
normal except for his unusual
method Of writing.
Johnny is the only left-handed
member and the only mirror
writer in his family.
