THE NAVY TO GROW

The national house of representa-
tives has put through bill for con-
struction Of 4G warships and other
craft and airplanes. II seems de-
plorable that in a world where all
nations ought to live as brothers. we
must continually create more fight
ing weapons. Yet we have TO take
the world as il is, and we cant
mend its ways by preaching to it.
Some nations think human well
fare is promoted by the use of armed
force TO seize territory they want or
need. Our experience says that in
wars all nations are the losers. The
world does not yet believe that truth.
and our people can't say too much.
In past years their own country has
also seized territory which il wanted.
In the world as it is, stewing with
hatreds and envies. il is not safe to
60 unarmed.

THOSE VINO GET FOOLED

The people who get laughed at by
being fooled April l, can comfort
themselves with the thought that it is
a day when wise men are at a dis
count Their thoughts are on too
high subjects. Some person of less
intelligence catches them unawares.
and gives them April Fool candy we'll
sprinkled with pepper. Or when such
man puts on his trousers. he finds
them sewed together.
Joseph Addison, famous English
author who lived over 200 years ago.
was annoyed by this custom. He
complained that his haberdasher.
who he said was a very shallow and
cOnceited fellow, bOasted that for. 10
consecutive years he had sent 100
people on foolish errands each April
first.
One lady bOasted at recent date
that she made it her regular practice
on the first day Of April to fool her
before breakfast. The wise
man should not look glum or show
temper when thus caught OFF his
guard. The joking and iesting Of life
carries MS through many hard places.

REWARDS OF SERVICE

People who get up entertainments
for churches and other organizations
often remark that while they were
working on these propositions. they
felt burdened by the labor involved.
and by the amount of time that had
to be devoted TO these efforts. When
their performances were over. they
felt well rewarded. not merely by the
financial results. but by the good fell
l0wship of the people engaged in
them.
That is the universal rule in all
kinds Of public service. When you
give time and effort to community
work, yOn get something more than
the direct gains for the Organiza-
tiOns. Friendships are formed that
are cherished for many years. and
are often very advantageous in busi-
ness.

SPRING FEVER

Medical authorities remark that So
called "spring fever" is mostly tired
ness. Probably people have been
keyed up by the stimulating effects
of cold weather. and when Miss
Spring ntters her soft words in their
ears, they feel wilted down by the
warmth of her approach.
Some folks will say spring fever
is largely lazifIess. that people just
want to loaf. There is fascination
in the balmy airs Of spring day
that makes us want TO wander by
some brookside, or listen to the birds
singing in the trees. Humanity has
to drill through working hours to
earn living. 1t should not he blamed
too severely il about now it has q
longing to kick up its heels like the
colt released to the new green pas
ture.

ENTERTAIN YOUR FRIENDS
WITH A SWEDISH SMORGASBORp


During this spring when all Della,
wareans are interested in the ter.
centenary celebration OF the Swedish
settlement in Wilmington, is an ex-
cellent time to entertain your
friends with a typical Swedish Smo-
rgasbord and dress them up with
gay striped crepe paper peasant
aprons and lacy caps made from
shelf paper.
Sweden is famous for its Smorga-
sbOrd, or hors d'oeuvres, which is
an ancient tradition and an impor-
tant accompaniment to all Swedish
dinners. The hors de'Oeuvres for a
family of moderate means are
grouped in the center of a long table
laid with a spotless white linen table
cloth, plates and silver The guests
are seated at the table and the hors
d'Oeuvres are passed and eaten just
before a regular meal of two or
more courses is served. A maid re-
moves the dishes from the first
course. Typical food for the family
hOrs d'Oeuvres might include: Meats
cold spiced tongue, smoked veni-
son, smoked salmon (slicedD, fish in
aspic jelly, anchovies. herring serv-
ed in two ways, large shrimps with
Thousand Island dressing, parsley.
and dried beef. Vegetables-radish-
es. sliced tomatoes. salads e or
more kinds), and a scalloped dish. |
Bread--rye bread. white bread baked !
in ornamental shapes. Cheese-serv- |
ed in a big piece on a cheese plate
with a cheese knife.
Hor d'Oeuvres for a family of /
more wealth. or for a hotel. would
be arranged on a separate table as
for a buffet supper. Each guest
would help himself and then take
his place at the dining table.
The service by Mattresses or wait
ers would be much the same as for
the less elaborate meal described
above. The food would be Of greater
variety. including 90 to l25 articles

kinds of cheese, very small Swedish
meat balls fried in deep fat, a hot

WHEN AMERICA FOUGHT

On April &, 1917, congress voted TO
enter the World war. and thus ven
tured into furnace of hate and
death. Ii was decision that many
of our people regret today. AT the
time it seemed the only way by which
the democratic Institutions of our
country could be maintained.
Also our people had been boiling
with Indignation for nearly three
years, as they saw the German army
ruthlessly marching into innocent
Belgium, which had done nothing to
deserve the fate thrust upon il. Our
people saw the German imperial
government regarding treaties as
only scraps of paper. which were not
to he considered in a world of
realities.
The American people saw red
when they heard stories of alleged
atrocities committed by German
troops. They revOIted with horror at
the Outrages which were said TO have
occurred. and felt there were times
when people must stand up in their
boots and say that such wicked acts
must stop.
Woodrow Wilson said the Ameri-
can people went to war TO make the
world safe for democracy" 1t was
a noble slogan. but it looks pretty
well faded out now. The world is not
as safe for democracy now as it was
iii 1917.
We come back TO the Bible prin- !
eiDle of They that take the sword
shall perish by the sword" Here in |
America cur people sayA that it, a |
country is attacked. ordinary sense |
says that country must stand UP and
fight. When il comes to regulating
the affairs of the world. that's some
thing else again. War is a rough
game. Probably the rOIgher ele-
meAts in all the nations that fought
in that war committed outfages. Too
much weight should not be given to
the propaganda that circnlates in
war time.

UNCLE SAM VS. THE BUGS

The government is in for a grand
fight with insect pests during the
coming summer. DrOughts and mild
winters are called favorable TO the
growth Of these nasty critters.
Some people may say crop sur
pluses make no end of trouble for the
farmers, so they should worry il the
pests keep these surpluses down.
The pests don't do their work fairly.
They allow some districts to raise so
much that prices go way down. while
the product of other districts is
wiped out and the farmers ruined.
So a destructive pest is still the enc
my of mankind. Perhaps IL the ma
tion had not tolerated the shooting
Of birds, so easily, these bugs would
not sweep over the land as an almost
uncomfortable force.

HOME TOWN DEvELOPMENT

II is nsnally considered beneficial
for city or town to grow. With
such increased population. the great
er number of people can provide bet
ter schools. social and religious ad-
vantages. thus making the cOmmu-
nifty better place to live in.
Yet there are many cities that are
very desirable for residence and bus
mess which have not grown much
in population. They attract a sub
stantial class of people who are in
telligent enough to adopt modern
ideas. They have the same advani-
ages as are obtained in much larger
cities. A town does not need big
population to provide fine schools.
churches. clubs. etc. 1t can make
itself one of the most desirable re-
sidence places in its state, by CO.
operation. enterprise. and cultiva-
ion OF beauty.

INVITATION TO PEACE MEETING

The Russian government recently
invited world powers. including the
United States, to meet in a confer
ence to preserve the world from
war. If the American people could
secure peace merely by sending dele
gates to such meeting. they would
Jump at the chance. They feel these
neace conferences are apt to pro-
dice great amount of oratory, but
few results. Sometimes the nations
seem farther apart when such meet
ings are finished.
Wars will not probably be stopped
by conferences. They will stop when
are as keen to, do justice to
their neighbors as to get II for them
selves.

NIGHT MOTOR ACCfDENTs

Facts showing how night is the
most dangerous time to drive cars
were presented in a recent address
BY Dudley NJ. Diggs. a General Elec-
tric Co. engineer. He showed how so
per cent of the automobile fatalities
occur at night, although night traffic
is only 20 TO 25 per cent Of total traf-
fic. He complained of poorly adjust
ed headlights as a leading cause of
such accidents.
The automobile driver asks for a
headlight strong enough to illumi-
nate the road. If headlight of that
power is not focused precisely
right, II may blind the driver of the
OncOming car. The person walking
on the side OF a country road, trusts
the driver behind will see and avoid
him. while the driver behind may be
unable TO see him because of binding
lights.
Until streets and roads are so illu-
minated as TO be nearly as bright |
as day, driving at night will prob
ably always call for more caution
than in the day time. Many drivers /
don't seem to think so. They go
plunging ahead into the semi-dark-
ness. trusting people in the way to
get ont of the track. If they can't
see the road perfectly ahead. they do
not moderate their speed on that
account.
Many drivers who have long dis
ances to travel. like driving at night
,etter than in the daylight. They
hink cars coming from side streets
re better seen in the dark, since
hey throw their lights into the inter
ectiOn. which gives a warning of
heir approach that does not exist by
aylight.

at night are difficult, ev-
ryOne should cut down his speed

ent rate would he enormously re-

NEEDS 0F THE NEEDY

A survey of the relief situation in
2S states was made public few days
ago in New York by the American
association. Some of the more con-
spieuous conditions were reported as
follows: Malnutrition commonly re-
ported among relief families, little
or no care available in many Sec
tions for transients. children kept
out of school in many sections for
lack of clothing. monthly food allow
anees in some sections as low as
$3.50 for a family Of four.
All such and many other condi-
tions are deplorabIe Many will say
the government must strain its re-
sources still more. and provide bet
ter for these unfortunate people.
The only real remedy for such con-
ditions is the stimulation of business.
When business is good, il gives the
people employment.
Some of our folks may say that
business and production in the whole
country were good in 1887. about the |
same as in the boom times of 1929.
Probably the population is seven or
eight per cent more than in 1929, so
business would need 10 he consider
