GROWING WHISPERS

One way of celebrating pioneer days
is to call on the men to grow whis-
kers. to recall the days when most
of the men wore such bushy adOrn-
ment. Did the men look better in
those days of the bewhiskered face?
If some men still think that whis-
kers signify manly power, and give a
greater impression of stability and
dignity. no one should laugh at
them. Some men probably fail to
shave because they dislike the
morning effort of scraping the face
If so. the barber is ever ready to do
it for them. The modern world seems
to vote for the shaven face, as the
one which gives the average man the
most alert and ready -fOr-actiOn look
If man lets his whiskers grow and
never has them trimmed or tended.
he must not complain if the world
smiles bit at his bushy adOrn-
ment.

BIG SPENDING

President Roosevelt has signed the
great recovery spending bill. which
appropriates $3.753 .OOO,OOO for relief
purposes. You can get all kinds of
opinions about it. Many say that it
will give business a big boost, and
put a great army of unemployed to
work. also that if private business
can not employ the people, the gov
ernment must do so.
Others say that all this spending
is so contrary to the standard prin-
ciples of prudence and debt paying.
that ii frightens the business world,
leading Industrial companies to cur
tail rather than expand. so that the
benefits named above are offset by
the harm done to business conf
dence.
You pay your money and you
takes your choice" between these
opinions, as the old-time circus bark
er used to say. 1t seems somewhat
agreed that there will be
temporary boost from this spend
ng. AS to whether it lasts, your
.uess is as good as anybody's.

PLEASURES OF THE HOME
PLACE

To some people. it looks like a tire
some and tedious job to keep their
home places looking we'll They
would rather be roaming around the
country or playing games or seeing
other play Them.
Life needs all these diversions, but
nothing gives more pleasure than a
home which is made attractive to the
public. The householder with a nice
lawn and beds of flowers and shrubs
feels happy every time he looks at
these beautiful things. The house he
lives in becomes the place he loves.
If he had to move away. he would
part from that spot of earth with
the keenest regret. The place thus
cared for becomes a kind of little
paradise. where the dreams of life
are realized.

ARGUMENTS ON THE ROAD

A fairly common scene on the
roads and streets is seen in the argu-
ments staged by motorists who have
had a collision. If the air is ever
made blue by cuss words, don't be
surprised if you see that azure tint
when such things happen. If there
is ever a time when many people
lack calmness and reasOnableness, it
is likely TO be when they have
crumpled somebody's fender. or col
lided in some more destructive and
dangerous smash.
1t doesn't do much good to tell
some people to be calm and rational
in such circumstances. Many bluffs
are worked off by people who must
secretly know they were wrong. The
way to avoid such unpleasant scenes
is to let the other fellow go ahead
if he wants to-

THE REPUTATION FOR
INDUSTRY

There is nothing that helps per-
son much more than a reputation
for industry. If a man is known as a
good worker, his chances for OBJ
tanning employment, should he lose
his job through hard times. IS much
better than that of the average per-
son.
One very good way to obtain that
reputation is for a man to be diligent
and active in keeping up the appear
ance of his home place. There the
neighbOrs can see what he does and
get an idea Of his general character
and habits. which is not always the
case when he works in some factory
or shop. If he is constantly trying
to improve that home place, he be-
comes known as a steady worker,
and people of that type have good
chances when there are vacancies.

NATIONAL yALOR

CzechoslOvakia has 100000 peo-
pie. while big Germany has 10000
900. Many have feared that the rulers
of Germany are about to swallow up
their little neighbOr with one big
bite. as recently they gulped down
little Austria.
Now those CzechOslOvakians
though so greatly inferior in num-
bers. stand up in their boots and
resolve to defend their frontiers.
These European nations could avoid
war perils. if the different races
would live together in harmony the
way the races of our country do
1t never occurs to any one race ele-
ment in America to threaten war on
its neighbOrs unless it gets every
thing to which it considers it is en-.
titled. But for all that, one must
admire the superb national spirit of
hose Czechs.

Milford. Friday, July !, 1888
NATIONS JOYOUS BIRTHDAY

The typical July Fourth celebra-
tion of noise, bell ringing, bOnfires,
etc, first became customary because
people felt so very joyful about the
acquisition of their freedom. Free
dom is not invariably anything to be
joyous about. The boy who obtains
his liberty by running away from
home usually has reason for sorrow.
American freedom has not so far
been of that type. The people fought
for their freedom, because they be-
lieved they could govern themselves
better than any king could do it for
them. The noble principles of the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution indicated they had rea-
son for joy. A nation that could
frame a government based on such
enlightened ideas has a right to its
independence.
These principles have been a kind
of beacon light showing our people
which way they ought to travel.
When they wandered of the true
course, and got stranded on sands
and shadows, the light of these great
ideas told them how to get back to
the true direction again.
Free institutions do not work
themselves. They are not automatic
machines that keep running indefi-
nitely. The people have to take hold
and make freedom work. Some peO-
pie do not know how to use free
dom. They use its privileges to cheat
and oppress others and commit law
less acts. 1t takes constant effort |
and vigilance to maintain the bless
ings of freedom.
If. our people are not prepared to
make that constant effort and vigil
ance, they haven't much to shout
about on July Fourth. II they will
defend the government from all who
seek to make wrong use, of it, they
should feel just as joyful on July
Fourth of 1888 as the fatlsrs did
in 1916.

HARNESSING THE sun

A fund Of nearly S65O,O0O to finance
research into methods of utilizing
the energy of the sun, and making
it available for the needs Of daily
life. has just been given to the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology by
DR.. G. L. Cabot of Boston. DR.. Cabot
made similar gift recently to Har-
ward university.
The boiling mass of hot substances
which we call the sun constitutes
an amount of energy which is diff
ficult for our limited understandings
to comprehend. 1t pours daily on
the earth a vast amount of heat. Can
this heat be economically transform
ed into power which we could use in
our homes and factories? viii the
scientists of the future show us how
to harness the sun by some machine
in our back yards? The new re-
search provided for by this superb
gift may answer these questions.

YACATION TTNE

Traditionally July and August ars
the months of vacations. Millions of
people now out of work say they
have had too much vacation. What
they want is some plan by which
they will have fewer and shorter
loafing times. However, the ma
iority OF. the American people still
have jobs, for which we can thank
fortune. The two weeks or more
which they spend on some trip or at
some resting place is the high point
of the year to them.
Some of them undertake to per-
form great and mighty stunts. The
man who sits all day at a desk
should remember that he is not do
ing much on that job to fit his mus
cles for a strenuous vacation. That
is, unless he walks to and from his
work daily, which is not the usual
thing If the day he gets to his nice
resort he attempts to climb a high
mountain or go around the golf links
half dozen times, something is like
ly to grunt inside of him. When that
fellow returns. he may have that
worn and haggard look that leads his |
friends to ask what hospital was
he visiting.
Many people go to their summer
rest in a state of near exhaustion.
That is true of some teachers and
,ther mental workers. If a teacher
inds it takes all her nervous force
o keep thinking up new ways to stir
azy or unruly children to useful
ctiOn. she is not probably in a mood
or any very strenuous stunts. A
lace in some hammock on the most
ecluded farm in Delaware will prob {
bly, please her for some weeks. &
Vacation gives people a chance to /
o what they want to. That is. so a
lng as there is money available. v
Ou can get a very nice vacation b
Owadays without spending much Il
loney 1t is fine to travel. but a lot C
t interesting things can he done

THROUGH REPUBLICAN EYES

While the present Democratic ad-
ministratiOn in Delaware is rapidly
destroying much of the good work
done in the past few years by the
various departments, probably the
worst wrecked of any of them is that
of the State Highway Department.
With a former department that did
excellent work and of which every
citizen in the state was proud; re-
spected by even the contractors who
did the work who knew that although
specifications must he followed and
no job sighted. yet the department
was always fair to them and asked no
excessive penalties or following
nothing but fair rOad-building pTac-
tices. 1t is now being rapidly torn
down and made into nothing else but
a political machine. Although the
law distinctly sets forth that the
chief engineer shall have complete
charge of all divisions and shall fire
or hire any one in the department,
the present breakdown is not only
making it a political machine but
is tearing away its efficient manage
ment. What is being done? Do tax
payers know and do they care? The
chief engineer has been completely
shorn of his legal powers. He has
nothing to say about his subordi-
mates. He is not allowed to chose
his district engineers or their help
ers. At present Mr.. Mack is only al
lowed to be a figure head with no
real powers over his force. Who is
the new boss? Anyone around Dover
knows. The secretary, whom the law
sets forth only to control the ac-
counting of the department, is the
whole show" Last week the COM
mission took a new step. They fired
some of the old right-of-way men
and appointed new ones and called
them "engineers of right-Of-way,"
and they are under the control OF
The secretary. The gasoline tax di-
vision is now under the control of
he secretary; the men in the draft
ng room are now under the control
1f the secretary. The chief engineer
sits i'm his office alone, while the
office issues the orders.
Some break down-some tearing up
IF a fine old department. And the
Democratic administration is directly

department for any kind OF

yineer, you go to your district Demo-
cratic leader who goes to the member Y

FENCE VIEWERS

Some of the older states used to
appoint fence viewers, whose duty
was to decide questions relating to
fences. The fence viewers have ap-
parently had but little to do of late.
though i'm one Rhode Island town
such an official reported a recent
case.
Modern life probably has as many
disputes as were seen in former
days. but they arise over different
subjects. The old timers would ar
que because a neighbor was said to
put his fence in the wrong place. or
because it was claimed he let his
cattle run over somebody's land. To-
day these issues do not so often arise,
but people dispute over their jobs
and pay. We don't need many fence
viewers to settle the boundary lines,
but we need many good ones to regu- /
late the boundary between labor and /
capital.
Milford chronicle., 1938-07-01
CAMPING ON THE FARMER

Many automobile tourists, tearing
through the country on their care
free jaupts, feel they can camp down
on anybody's land and do what they
want to there. If they set fire to a
farmers property by their careless
ness, or tear down his fences and let
his cattle out, you can't blame him
if he feels sore at such unasked Wis
itors.
In wild and remote sections, it
may be legitimate to camp most any
where, provided people are very
careful not to harm any private
property. If they want to camp
anywhere near a farm house. better
get permission, and sweeten their
visit by buying some Of the farmers
produce.
Milford chronicle., 1938-07-01
MAKING A RECORD

A persons success depends upon
the record that person made in his
previous activities. The chances
that a young person will get work
depend very largely on the kind of
record the student made in school.
"One who had his lessons well learn
ed" says a prospective employer.
will probably learn well the things
would have to tell him"
So it is in getting ahead in your
job. Every day makes a record for
every worker. If the work is well
done. it pleases the employer and the
public. A reputation is created. and
when there are chances for promo
tion or a vacancy. the one with the
good record is chosen. and the one
who has shown less merit is passed
over.
Milford chronicle., 1938-07-01
INVESTIGATING BUSINESS

Hearings will begin in the fall
before the federal committee ap-
pointed to investigate alleged mono
polictic practice in business. Many
thousands of words will be poured
out before this committee, and vast
mass of facts. If the American peo-
pie can form any accurate picture of
the situation after all this testimony
is presented. they will be smarter
than they frequently are.
Some prices are no doubt too
high. Probably some people who
should compete against each other
more actively, don't do so. Just how
people are to be forced to sell stuff
for lower prices if they don't want
to. is not yet apparent.
Milford chronicle., 1938-07-01
HOT DOG HISTORY

Along about the time automobiles
became common, the sO-called "hot-
dog" stands began to be erected
along the roads. AS they fed the
hungry travellers with the 'idog", also
sandwiches, ice cream. soft drinks,
etc, they became more and more
popular, and have developed into a
great business.
Many of them have blossomed out
into very fine restaurants. with trim
and stylish Mattresses ministering to
customers. The American people will
pay well to anyone who treats them
we'll. Those who provide good vic
tuals with snap and style and flavor
aren't likely to lack trade or en-
ployment.
Milford chronicle., 1938-07-01
THE MATCHING NEIGHBORS

You may think, if yOu allow dis
order to gather around your dwell
ing, that no one notices it. You can
be sure that it is noticed and spoken
of. This is not because of idle cur
iOsity. but because OF the harm such
disorder does.
Every home owner or renter who
tOlerates disorder commits a wrong
against his neighbor. Not merely is
his own place rendered less attrac-
tive. but those that border on or
over it are made less desirable. Such
an example is contagious. Some care
less neighbOr is likely to see that
disorder. and to argue that if you
can let your place run down. he can
do the same. Thus disorder spreads.
and this accounts for the decline Of
value in property in some neighbor-
hoods.

aApYERTIsING MAKEs WoRKn

The above was the slogan for the
annual convention at Detroit, of the
Advertising Federation of America.
President Roosevelt sent a message
saying this slogan was of great sig
nfficance.
1t is. doubtful il there is any
greater producer of work than ad-
vertising. Advertising is like the
warm sun of spring, and 1t thaws
out the ice of fear and hesitation,
and sets the brooks and rivers of
spending to work. When the people
are induced to buy things they
need, the idle factories start up, and
the sad-faced workmen hear the Joy
full sound of the factory whistle.
Advertising could make lots more
work in America now If 1t was
given a chance.

STRICTLY POLITICAL

Of the commission in his county. who
tells the secretary-and you get the
job.
Joseph S. Wilson, a Wilmington
attorney, points out this week some
facts that every taxpayer and citi-
zen of Delaware should think over.
He says, In spite of all the pump
printing and sO-called reform, bust
ness is now as bad as its lowest ebb
i'm 1882; our public debt is twice as
great and our deficits are mounting
steadily" He stressed that Della
ware under Republican administra-
ton steadily progressed, with reduc-
tion in taxes, while our school and
road systems were high at the top
in comparison with other states. He
then compared the inefficiency and
lack of thought of costs or salaries
of the present Democratic admins
tration which is rapidly bringing
every one face to face with more
taxes.
==@==
There is no .foOling this time
which Sussex County Committee was
considered by the governor when he
named the registration officers there.
ANY one who knows his Sussex coun-
ty politics can read them and readily
place the fact that the Tunnel fac
tiOn was left out in the cold and the
Baker committee was fully recOg-
nized.
==%==
A skeptical Republican who could |
not believe all of the good news that
has been coming out of Kent county
about the political harmony that is
prevailing attended a recent district
meeting at Hartley. He is now
spreading the good tiding that il is
all true and the real thing" He
saw former faction leaders get on
their feet and tell the truth and in
stead of quarreling as was general
when they got together, laid. their
heads together to plan how to win
the county for their party. Truly ad-
versity is a great thing and the re-
suit of the last election brought all
Republicans to their senses.
==@==
Now it is cap" Cannon of Mil
ford, who after years of splendid SER
vice in the right-Of-way division of
the State Highway Department who
has been "let out" Notwithstanding
that he has been the virtual head of
the department for several years, and
that he knows almost all there is to
know about the right-of- work ON
the roads. he is through. Maybe be-
cause he is not an engineer" like
Engineer" Boyce of Dover or EN-
sineer" Fisher of Milton. There is
one comfort for Cap. he was fred
because he was Republican. not for

md simple, mostly simple, for the
good of the taxpayers!
