gain between Saarbruecken and Hornbach.
 British Planes Cooperate
 British airplanes were reported cooperating with French in pound- ing the German heavy artillery which had been sent to the Saar front.
 Usually reliable quarters said tliat German air loses on the Western front far exceeded French loses as reported by the Germnas.
 Rain and wind slowed fighting on the Western front.
 German guns caught detachment of French soldiers who were digging trenches near Saarbruecken, key town of the Saar Valley, and 1t was admitted that the French suffered some losses. French artillery quickly retorted, 1t was said, and silenced a German battery so that the troops were able to complete consolidating their position.
 French advices said the Allied navies had sunk one and possibly two German submarines in an in- tensified hunt for the raiders It was said that between 20 and

25 German submarines were be- lieved to be on the high seas ct pre- sent but that if the present rate of destruction continued he number should be appreciably reduced by the end of October.
 Germans Serious Now
 The increasing seriousness with which the Germans now view French operations was indicated by report from Luxembourg that the Germans had blown up their railroad line between the French frontier and Trier (Treses), close to the Luxembourg frontier. The railroad has It's Southern Terminus at Metz in France. The Luxembourg report was that, considerable debris landed in Luxembourg territory.
 There was some belief in French quarters that the Germans might find 1t advisable to abondon saar- bruecken soon, and retire to pre- pared positions North of 1t. Reports indicated that the French had made progres both East and West of the city

 Unofficial reports said that at the Northwestern extremity of their front the French pressure had be- come so heavy on both banks of the Saar River and on the right (East) bank of the Moselle near the Lux embourg frontier, that sections of the West wall were in serious dan- ger.
 Heavy German achievements were reported to have been rushed to their, Saarlouis and Saarbrueck- en. Other reports said German rein forcements were arriving opposite Strasbourg, on the Rhine.

The High School Band

Very little has been said about
the band of the John Basett Moore
High School This year the band
has elected a president and two di-
rectors, to guide and support the
band and give benefits for uni
forms for each individual member
Of that organization. Several mem
bers of the band went to Dover re-
Gently and helped Dover with their
band at the football game.
New, better, and more difficult
music is being rendered at various
assemblies.
An encouragement for the band,
is the fact that the Smyrna Busi-
ness Mems Association has asked
the band to parade the streets
again around Christmas time as it
did during the previous years.
In Wilmington, in May, our band
will represent Smyrna at the State
Music Concert. 7 think, by the
way rehearsals have been going,
that it will do wonders in repre-
senting Smyrna.

Girl Scouts of America

"On my honor, 1 will try: To do
my duty to God and my country;
To help other people at all times;
To obey the Girl Scouts Laws"
Thousands of girls carry out this
oath each day, and are proud to be
able to say, 81 am a Girl Scout" ;"
A Girl Scout stands for all that is
good and clean. An organization,
centuries old, which has never died.
Smyrna has been honored with
quite a large troop. There are
four patrols with eight girls in
each patrol. Although we have
been organized but a few short
weeks, we have accomplished
much. Our patrol leaders, captain,
and all the Scouts are enthusiastic
about the work that is being done,
and about what is to be done in the
future. A helpful plan has been
very cleverly worked out by the
troop committee. There has been
established Girl Scout Employ
ment Agency" When anyone has
any odd jobs to be performed they
telephone our captain and she in
turn appoints a Girl Scout to do
the job. The money they get for
their work, goes to their account,
and when they have saved enough
money, they may be the proud
owner of new Girl Scout uniform.
This plan has helped immensely. At
/ the present time the Girl Scouts
are busy preparing their Christmas
activity, which is to be gay gath
ering.
] We are indebted to the members
Of the Century Club for their CO.
operation and interest. Due to
their kindness, we are permitted to
use the Century Club as meeting
place. We are indeed thankful for
this privilege.

Leisure Time

The worthy use of leisure time is
becoming increasingly important
to society. 1t seems that educa-
tion has placed the emphasis upon
becoming efficient producers rather
than upon learning the art of liv-
ing. Leisure time was meant to
be period of revitalization. In
stead, it has become a time of idle
ness. The challence to society
comes from the persons who mere
ly drift through days and years of
leisure time.
Without definite interests and a
plan for leisure hours, people, es-
pecially young people, will become
worse than useless. The increase
in time among our youth is at
tributed to lack of leisure time in
terest Much truth is still contain
ed in the old saying that Satan
finds some mischief for idle hands
A good prescription for idleness
is the cultivation of hobby. This
activity should require a certain
amount of creative ability and may
take any form: collecting; wood
working; foreign correspondence;
sketching and writing. The joy de-
rived from developing the hobby
will be part of the success of the
project.
There is little danger of people
with real constructive interests 60
ing wrong as a result of too much
leisure time. The secret lies in the
wise use of such time.
