thousands of motorists who are
obliged to make the detour around
st. Georges, either by way of Kirk
wood or Delaware City. 1t had
been hoped plans and estimates
would have been in and the con-
tract awarded long before this, but
the U. S. Government takes its
time and seems to be in no hurry
despite the inconvenience that us
ers of the dual highway to Will
mington, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other points are put to. Some

or two years before the motoring
public are rolling over a new high
four-laned bridge at st. Georges.

RING THE BELL

An Italian who was working on a
railway in Florida had been told to
beware of rattlesnakes, but was as
sured that they would always give
the warning rattle before striking.
One day he was sitting on pine
log eating his dinner when he saw
a big snake coiled few feet in front
of him. Keeping an eye on the rep
tile, he began to raise his feet from
the ground, and as he did so the
snakes fangs hit the bark beneath
him, no warning having been given.
"Son Of a gun!" yelled the Italian.
"Why you no ringa da bell?"

We are apt to think that in the
Olden days, when life was much
more simple than it is today, it
should have been easy to follow in
the right way, Gin the way of the
Lord as the Bible calls it. But the
kings of old found it very difficult
indeed to do right, even when the
Lord gave the evidences Of His favor
and help in need again and again
when they obeyed him. And the
common people followed the example
of the king. If he lost faith in the
effacy of Gods help, so did they,
and resumed the worship of idols
which they could see with their own
eyes.
1t helps to unite us living in this
modern world of machines and speed
with that old world in which lived
the Hebrew and contemporary peo-
pies. After all, moral living is the
same now as it was two thousand
and more years ago.
Jehoshaphat Obedient.
Jehoshaphat was the last king we
studied about, and he, on the whole,
led life Of obedience to the Lord
and prospered. Jehoram followed
followed him and wrought evil in

hold. lothian, his son, took over the
reins of government, and when he
died lothian was made king. Pride
indeed goeth before fall, or, as our
Golden Text says, Everyone that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and
he that humbleth himself shall be eX-
alted."
How many times it happens tbat
prosperity makes people proud and
naughty toward old friends and in
clined to live in a way they never
thought of when they were poor. In
speaking to the children Of Israel
after they were led out Of the land
of Egypt, in Deuteronomy it is writ
ten: Beware lest thou forget the
Lord, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage.
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God,
and serve Him, and shalt swear by
His name. Ye shall not go after other
gods lest the anger Of the Lord be
kindled against thee, and destroy thee
from the face of the earth" That
too, may we'll be warning to us.

LOCKHART RESIGNS
POST AT DAVIDSON
Assistant to President In Centennial
Event Goes to Westminster
College In Fulton, Mo.

Davidson, Aug. 25.-Malcom w.
Lockhart, for the past two years
assistant to the president in the
centennial movement, has resigned
rom DaVidson's administration to be-
come director of public felations at
Westminster College in Fulton, Mo.
College authorities declared last
night that the resignation had been
accepted and would take effect Sep
tember Is, when Mr. and Mrs.
Lockhart and their baby daughter
leave for Missouri. The retiring
member Of the college staff attended
Davidson and received his A. B.
and later his masters degree from
the University Of Georgia. He has
also done graduate work at Colum-
ola University.
Mr.. LOckhart came to Davidson
from Landor college at Greenwood,
S. c., in the spring of 1887, when
Davidson's centennial campaign was
just getting under way. Under his
ceive approximately $25O,O0O in
cash and pledges, and new infir-
mary and dormitory have already
been erected. Other endowments
have included $4,000 professor
ship and several scholarships.
The new director of public rela-
tions at Westminster is the son of

of the Lord-the people took 16-year-
old Uzziah and made him king, and
it is his story that is the subject or
today's lesson.
At first the young king did what
was right and prospered exceedingly.
The Lord helped him against his
enemies, the Philistines and Ara
bians, and he ''built towers in the
desert and digged many wells for he
had much cattle" Moreover, he had

But as he grew strong and power
full his ''heart was lifted up' and
he grew arrogant and thought he
could do anything, and possibly that
he no longer needed the Lords help.
At any rate, one day he went into
the temple and prepared to burn in
cense upon the altar. Now this was
the function of the priests and con-
sidered profanity for another to per-
form, even if he was a king, so the
priests, at whose head was Azariah,
confronted him and told him he was
doing wrong. Uzziah did not like tc

Meeting Challenge
Of Appendicitis

white blood cells and rigidity Of the
abdominal muscles. The pains be-
gin in the pit of the stomach under
the ribs, move to the navel, and then
over the lower right section of the
abdomen.
But the pain may be anywhere
because the appendix, being free
floating organ, may be anywhere.
Nausea, vomiting and, more rarely,
fever may be absent.
In treatment certainly the great
est danger is the promiscuous ad-
ministration Of cathartics. This is
usually done by the patient or
family, on the ground that this pain
is due to something you ate and the
thing to do is to clean you out.
Statistics Show Effects
Statistics are given on this point.
Ir a group studied when laxative
was given, Z per cent died; where no
laxative was given, e per cent died.
When only one dose was given, /
in l? patients died. When multiple
laxatives doses were given l in 5
died.
The promiscuous dispensing of
cathartics by druggists for acute in
digestion is happily on the wane.
But enough exists to repeat the
warning. When druggists learn
that paregoric is better for acute
abdominal pain than castor oil, a
better mortality rate for appendi-
citis will arrive.
