dals! And, when I think about the
bills I can comfort myself with the
realization that everything I bought
will do me for the Summer at no
further expense!
The only trouble with the whole
situation, however, is that there has
been such lot OF work to get finished
UP that I have had to sandwich my
buying sprees into my days at odd
moments. Because OF that, I am
afraid that when I really get chance
to see all my wardrobe assembled at
one time I will find that there are
awful gaps here and there in the mat
ter of proper accessories and SO forth.
But don't really care. All want
is sleep and a change. fundamentally!
THERE'S going to be no typewriter
among my luggage when the train
pulls out tomorrow. I don't want to
see a pencil, read a newspaper or
think about food for two weeks. I
don't want to hear a telephone, worry
about children's temperatures or get
up early. I want to keep my hands
nice and clean instead of smudged all
over with ink the way they are now,
and / want to have completely empty
days before me when I do wake up.
This business of allotting every second
for some special purpose, establish
ing a crowded schedule and sticking
to it is one of the things that is really
turning my hair gray. Lucky for me,
I guess, that I like gray hair and
have always wanted mine to turn!
I want to be disagreeable if feel
like it, instead of being the voice

I want to snap at somebody if l am
so inclined and get away with it. And
another thing shall enjoy about be-
ing away is the fact that won't have
to hear that blamed milk-wagon horse
galumphing past my window every
morning before dawn. I'm getting a
complex about that horse. He skids

day I just know he'll land on my
front lawn. wagon and all.
I can't believe that this is my last
article for while. 1t certainly is time

sensitive nostrils, even those OF the
former King Edward VIII. when he

recover with no bad effects if she is

The first of these attacks is the

4 WOMAN asks what should be
~ the attitude of a mother
~ toward a daughter between
4 4 the ages Of IA and 20. Every
mother who has to deal with an
adolescent daughter needs the wisdom
of Solomon, the prophetic vision OF a
seer, the patience Of Job and the firm
ness of a drill sergeant. plus sense
of humor that never fails. And, at
that, she will still lack a few re-
quirements.
She is tackling the most complicated
and difficult job on earth; the one
that requires the most finesse IN
handling. She has to guide. form,
restrain, protect the most headstrong,
determined, unreasonable, opinionated
egotist alive; one who is resolved not
to be changed. or baked, or interfered
with in any way whatsoever. Particu-
larly by her mother. That Is some
task. believe me. No wonder so many
mothers fail in it.
Furthermore, the situation Is COM
plicated by every mother being
knocked groggy with amazement by
having gentle. biddable little Mary,
who thought mother an oracle. sud-
denly turn into Mamye, who resents
mothers mildest suggestion and who
considers her a doddering dodo who

However, hard as it is, God himself

does it depends her happiness in this
world and in the world to come. For
If anything untoward happens to
Mary, mother is largely responsible
for the disaster.

KENT-SUSSEX BASKETBALL
Annual Tourney Begins at Milford
March Is With Number of Entries

The Kent Sussex Basketball
Tournament which was begun in
1896 will be held again this year in
the gymnasium of the Milford
Community Building. The first
round of play will start on Monday
March 18th. The semi-fnaIs and
finals will be played on Friday and
Saturday nights of the same week.
Practically all of the 1886 entries
have indicated their desire 70 enter
the tournament and judging from
the interest shown thus far the
tournament promises to be the
tops of the current basketball
season. Coach Pop Michaels of
the Wyoming team, 1886 champs,
is planning to enter another fast
court combination. Although they
will be without their sensational
star Ed Graham, Wyoming will
undoubtedly put on the floor an
other smooth working outfit. A
revamped Milford All-Star, 1886
runner up, will take the floor de-
termined to take the championship
crown. All the teams invited to
participate in this tournament
have much stronger teams than
last year and the tournament
promises to produce fast and hard
fought games.

HOnOred Another Time

DR.. Charles l.. Candee has
again been reappointed a
member Of the Old Age We'll
fare Commission which has
charge Of the State Welfare
Home. This appointment is
regarded not only as an ex-
preston of confidence, but
also as a mark of appreciation
of the excellent service he is
giving the state. We quite
agree with the Morning
News, "that DR.. Candee's col
leagues on the board have
confidence in his ability and
Judgment. This is attested
by the fact that he has been
continued in the office of pres
ident ever since the commits
sion was created. In common
with his fellow members, he
has devoted much time,
thought, and energy to the
work involved.
''The members of the COM
mission serve without pay.
Yet, they have much to do.
The board, created, primarily,
to administer the state old
age pension system, also IS
charged with the duty Of
managing the State Welfare
Home at Smyrna. Prior to
embarking upon the latter un-
dertaking, it had the reSpon-
sibility Of building the home
and charting a course for its
operation.
''The commissioners had to
determine how this new state
venture could be handled ad-
vantageously. There was
nothing to serve as a guide.
The boards new responsible /
ity involved the care, on be- /
half of the state, of persons I
who had been domiciled in the
county almshouses, and who
had comprised a county re-
sponsibility.
'The plans made by the
commissioners for handling
this new task have worked I
well. Through the boards
management, the administra-
tion of this problem has been
taken out of the realm of pol
itics. This of itself is an
achievement"

American Airships

One Of the most famous suspension
bridge organizations in the world,
that of Robinson & Steinman, was
next consulted. These consulting en-
gineers, headed by the eminent DR..
Stienman whose bridges are known
in every section of America, as well
as In Brazil, Germany and in other
sections of the world, were employed
to design the suspension-type frame
Of the airship, which was to be con-
structed upon specifications prepared
by the Bureau of Aeronautics OF the
Navy Department.
WITH the knowledge and experience
w fitting him to analyze the Zep-
pelin arch-type frame. the aerody-
manic and load stresses imposed on
an airship in flight. and to design an
airship structure with the application
of the suspension-bridge engineering
principles, DR.. Steinman, once the
new model was built, rendered his
Judgment, after it had been submitted
to the severest tests to which such
structure would be subjected in actual
service.
He said, f. part: Whatever may be
said Of the performance Of the Zep-
pelin airship will apply equally to the
Respess airship, but the Respess air
ship would have, In addition, the fol-
lowing advantages: Greater strength
and safety. greater inherent strength.

He stated further, Of this American
designed ship: THE stresses OF this
airship never reverse. thereby remov-
ing all fear Of failure in the hull
through fatigue and capitalization.
The net pay load will be unusually
high, facilitating economical CONNER
