Middletown's Credit Good

Middletown having obtain
ed a substantial premium On
the $4,000 bond issue just
floated for municipal improve
ments, there are two fratify-
ing results from the transac-
tion. The town, Of course,
has the amount Of the perm
ium for such immediate use
as ma ybe made Of it. Aside
from that, the fact that there
was a premium shows that
the town has god credit.
Middletown's excellent fin
ancial status is due to a busi-
ness management Of the
towns affairs which has re-
suited in meeting all obliga-
tions as they have come due
and, incidentally, reducing
the tax rate occasionally
while at the same time i'm
proving and keeping in gooc
shape the public facilities.
The money that just has
been borrowed is to help pay
for an extensive improvement
program. The power anC
water facilities are to be en-
larged and modernized. By
following this improvement
policy the citizens are better
served than they otherwis'
would be, and the expense O
upkeep is kept down to min
imum.
Smyrna times., 1938-12-29

evident that a majority of the
senators are undecided about
some Of the Governors ap-
pointments, the inaction thus
far is not conclusive.
'In the case of appointees
whom the Senate was not
willing to confirm, at least
without further study, it was
to the best interests of the
state that the course taken
be followed. They will con-
tinue to serve until other ac-
ton is taken.
ga statement explaining
the Senate's course advances
tenable ground for delay in
some instances. As to some
there is a difference of opin-
ion as to whether there was
justification for failure to
give ready confirmation.
with regard to justices of
the peace and state detec-
tives, confirmation of whose
nominations was held in
allegiance, the reason given is
that an effort will be made at
the legislative session to
make changes in the laws
which seem to the senators
issuing the statement as be
ing desirable. The purpose,
it is said, is to substitute sal
airy for fees as compensation
for justices, and otherwise
alter the law governing the
magistrates courts.
'Hope is expressed also
that a change can be effected
whereby state detectives may
be placed in the regular po-
lice category, and that police
qualifications rather than pol
itics will be required for their
appointment and retention in
the public service"

Smyrna Buys Beautiful Lake

The Town Council of Smyr-
ma has performed a com
mendable public act in buying
control Of beautiful Lake
Como on the southern border
of the town. This attractive
body Of water is not only one
of Smyrna's beauty spots, but
has also long been a favorite
place for swimming and boat
ing. Now that the town owns
the charming lake, succeed
ing generations will be en-
abled to enjoy it with assur-
ance that it is likely always to
be more, not less, beautiful.
Other Delaware towns also
have charming ponds Oh lakes
in Oh near them. Where own
erShip remains in private
hands the towns might do
well to emulate Smyrna's
course in acquiring them if
all the surrounding circum-
stances permit it. - Sunday

No Federal Tax for High y ays


Federal gasoline taxes rep
resent a tax toll Of well over a
half million dollars a year now
being paid BY Delaware motor
vehicle owners and net a cent
of this sum is used for high
way improvement, according
to a statement made by w.
Purves Taylor, Secretary Of
the Associated Petroleum In
dustl'ies of Delaware.
Diversion Of state motor
funds to purposes other than
highway construction, recon
struction and maintenance has
been so serious" Mr.. Taylor
said, "that thousands Of Della
ware motor vehicle owners
have completely overlooked
the fact that the Federal gas
oline tax Of 1-cent per gallon,
too, has been diverted.
"This one federal tax has
reached the proportions of
over S5OO,O00 per year. Many
people believe that this sum
comes back to theh state in
the form of federal aid fol
state highways. This is not
true. Federal aid to states
for highway purposes was
given before the federal gaso-
line and lubricating oil taxes
were imposed in 1882 to full
fill its traditional obligation tc
build or maintain military an6
post roads.
"While diversion of state
motor funds is comparatively
recent, the diversion of feder.
al gasoline taxes has been go
ing on for six years. The to
tai federal diversion repre-
sents sum far in excess o.
the total Of current state di
version.
"There is ample evidence
|. that a constitutional amend
: ment will be enacted by tht
next session of the Delaware
Legislature prohibiting any
further diversion of state mo

tor tax revenues to purposes
other than highway use. The
federal diversion can only be
eliminated by the repeal by
Congress Of this duplicating
tax. Motorists in every state
are uniting in asking their
Congressman and Senators for
this legislative action. Della
ware motorists must join in
these protests"

IF YOU have been contemplating the
installation Of . modern air-con-

that type Of equipment in . new one.
you should be glad to hear about q
new kind Of pre-fabricated duct which
Is now on the market. This material
takes the place Of all the bothersome
sheet metal that had to be whipped
into shape in the past before the air
could be forced up to the various
rooms. It also obviates the need for
covering the duct with layers and
layers Of asbestos.
The whole idea is 50 very simple that
you will probably Join US in wonder
ing why 1t wasn't done long ago. The
basis OF the duct Is an inner core of
3-16-inch asbestos. Over this is placed
number Of layers Of corrugated
asbestos sheets bonded together 50
that the whole outer covering slides
on the inner core. The sections OF
duct are standardized at 8 feet in
length, and in sizes from about 2h by
81 inches to 231a by 23h inches.
These sizes step up from the smallest

Special Dispa tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
LA PLATA, Md, Feb. 26.-Chap-
mans Landing, the historic estate on
which was located the ferry used by
George Washington and other early
statemen in crossing from Maryland
to Virginia, has been sold by Philemon

>~.~~~
TINE clicking of an ordinary light
switch IS certainly not q par
ticularly deafening noise. but 1t
4 does indicate that there are
metal parts inside there which are
hitting on one another and will wear
out some time in the future. OF
course, there are numerous places
where silent switch for turning lights
on and off would obviously be an ad-
vantage. Take room in which baby
sleeps, or where an invalid Is recuper-
ating-a silent switch would make It
possible to turn . night light on or
off without the possibility of disturb
ing sleeper. Then again, If you have
been out too late and you don't want
your wife Cor husband) to hear you
when you come tiptoeing In. you will
1ind the silent type Of switching equip
ment great help toward the ultimate
in stealth.
To bring about such ideal conditions
and also provide . switch which will
have an extremely long life, there
has been developed mercury switch
for lights and appliances which llts
into the ordinary wall box vertically
and will give trouble-free service for
. long time. In fact, the people who
make this switch found that 1t would
stand more than 5000, 900 switchings
without failing. then they probably got
tired and gave up.
The switch itself consists Of two
metal disks sealed in . glass tube with
mercury. When the switch Is open,
the tube Is tipped up 80 that the
mercury hits only one contact. When
you Nip the switch. the mercury runs
across and makes . circuit between the
two disks. The small casing and the
handle Of the switch are made Of .

AIR IS HUM|D|F|ED
BY CENT RAJ UNIT
Clean and Continuous Flow
Provided Even When No
Heat Is Needed.

Humidity may be introduced into
the air Of . house heated by steam
or warm water either through . cen
trail conditioning system or by means
Of individual humidifying radiators.
the Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau explains.
The central conditioning system,
the bureau observes, has certain ad-
vantages over humidifying radiators
In that 1t will do complete job Of
winter conditioning. Besides supply
ing the required amount of humidity,
the central conditioner will also intro
duce fresh outside air as required, It
will clean the air, and will provide .
stimulating circulation Of air.
The central conditioner may be part
OF the boiler and housed In the same
streamlined jacket or 1t may be placed
away from the boiler, which ever hap
pens to be most convenient.
Independent Operation.
The central conditioning system op-
crates independently of the house
thermostat, thus providing . contin-
uous flow Of cleaned and humidified
air. even at such times when no heat
Is required. Operation Of the heating
plant independently of the condition.
er makes 1t possible to exercise more
positive control over heating as well
as humidification, preventing over
heating and decentralization, as
well as making the entire system more
flexible and responsive.
The other method Of humidifyius
the atmosphere Is to replace one Of
the radiators in any one of the first
door rooms with q special humidity
ing type Of radiator tnclosed In q
handsome cabinet.
The unit consists Of cast iron pans
into which water is permitted to flow
from the house plumbing system. The
dow Of water IS automatically regu-
lated by float valve. AS the cast
iron sections become heated by the
heating medium. which may be either
steam or hot water. the water is evap-
Grated. The hunidifled air naturally
1inds its way to the other rooms in the
house. At the same time the unit
heats the room In which it Is located.
Another Type Of Conditioner.
Another type Of room conditioner
might be described as a cross between
the humidifying radiator and the CEN
tral conditioner.
While 1t takes the place Of one Of
the radiators in the house, 1t also
operates somewhat like . central con-
ditioning system In that It cleans and
drculates the air. The cleaning and
circulation Is accomplished by q mo-
tor-propelled fan which blows the air
gently through . filter which removes
dust and dirt.
All Of the equipment described. the
bureau points out Is subject to accu-
rate control. This is important, the
bureau observes, because II too much
humidity is introduced into . house
it will condense on the outside walls
and under the attic with the posi-
biity that the plaster may be loosened.

Rug Curling Eliminated.

To keep rugs from curling, size their
backs with filler made as follows:
Weigh out three parts Of starch and
five parts Of pure glycerine. Mix the
starch with cold water to form . paste
without any Jumps. Add the glycerine
in small quantities until the mixture
viii spread easily. Apply to back Of
rug and dry thoroughly before using.
This preparation will not make the
rug less flexible. Glyoerine may be
purchased at any drug store.
