THE SNEEZING SEASON

During September two per cent
or more of the American people are
said to suffer from hay fever. If you
see someone approaching with red
and weeping eyes, he is not probably
mourning some terrible calamity.
but more likely is one of the victims
of hay fever. At time when the
world is most beautiful, the contact
with the loveliness of nature is like
ly TO result for some only in run
ming eyes and nose. insomnia gener-
al depression, constant sneezing.
and perhaps asthmatic troubles.
Attributing this unfortunate all
ment largely to the pollen from
plants. the doctors have cured many
of these sufferers by incubation.
But it is a strange and peculiar dis
ease for them to fight They may
have to experiment with various
kinds of pollen before they hit the
peculiar little devil that creates
misery in your nasal passages.

TESTS FOR DRIVERS

Several states including New
York are considering more rigid
tests for automobile drivers. This
was a leading subject before the re-
cent convention at New York of the
American Association of Motor We
hicle Administrators.
1t is claimed that about 65 per
cent of the country's drivers never
had their driving ability question
ed. If the people who drive cars
do not want stricter rules govern
ing their use of automobiles, some
of them would better try TO improve
their driving habits. Some people
who behave with perfect prOpriety
when they take driving tests. may
drive like a daredevil when out on
the road alone If accidents cOntin-
ne as they have in past years. the
drivers of many states will have TO
toe the mark somewhat closer.

eHOtsTs OF OLD WAR

Army maneuVers at Manassas, Va,
bring back sad memories of the first
great battle of the terrible War Be-
tween the States. There our boys of
today play at the game of war and
try to perfect their ability to meet
possible enemies of our land.
On that soil, nearly 5000 blue and
gray soldiers once gave up their
lives for the two causes they re-
spectively held dear.
What would the spirits of those
brave men say. if they We're hover
ing over that field a few days ago,
watching to see how our modern
loys would play war? They would
say never to let any new division
come between these states. They
would tell every section and every
element to he generous to the rest
of the country. and make sacrifices
for the sake of preserving peace and
harmony.

AUTOS FOLLOW LEADER

When one car does something
wrong in traffic, many more cars are
apt to do the same thing. If one car
is parked in a wrong place, several
or many more cars are likely to
come into the same forbidden loca-
tion. Automobile drivers seem to
think their time is very valuable,
and in their haste the failure TO see
just what they are doing sometimes
costs them considerable trouble.
Before anyone parks Car in any
town, it is a very good idea to look
for mo parking" signs, also for
those strips of paint that tell where
you can and cannot park the car
Those parking rules We're all made
for the public good, and if everyone
would be careful to obey them, many
inconvenience would be avoided.

LABOR DAY HISTORY

The Labor Day celebration has a
history extending over 81 years.
Back in 1883, Matthew Mcguire, sec
retary of the New York City Central
Labor Union, corresponded with
various labor organizations, suggest
ing that day be set aside as labor's
own holiday. The idea became pop
ular, and the New York State Legis-
lature recognized Labor Day as a
holiday in 1887. 1t became a ma
tional holiday in 1894.
When that first move was made
in 1888, hours of labor were usu-
ally low. In our time the 40 hour
wages are probably three times more
than they were in 1888.
The results on the health and
comfort of the working population
have been very great. The people
benefit physically from the added
leisure, and with more time at their
disposal they become more intelli-
gent. The vast number of Ameri-
can workers who own automobiles
find happiness as they travel around
the country. and see things few
workers eyer beheld in the old days.
The power of labor also brings
responsibility. If labor uses its
power in any industry to obtain
such high wages that the people are
unable to buy its product. the work
ers suffer. 1t does not pay to make
production costs so high that the
people are unable to buy the goods
produced. The public sometimes
goes on strike, as well as the work
ers.
In the main labor and capital get
along well together. Unfortunate
labor troubles occur, but the num-
ber of industries where there are no |
serious disputes far exceeds those !
in which there is conflict. The Labor |
Day message says that when such |
disputes occur. each party should |
approach them in a cOnciliatOry |
spirit, and be as anxious to act with
justice and fairness as TO get its
demands accepted.

CATTLE SHOW

Once again the cattle show season
is on. The noble cattle will again
show their.proud shapes The grunt-
ing pigs will display their fatness
to admiring farmers. The woolly
Esheep will win admiration for the
beautiful coats which will keep the
nation warm.
The gardeners show those amaz-
ing pumpkins and squashes, those
wonderful ears of corn, and heaps
of every vegetable which the rich
soil of Delaware produces. The
housewives will come in with nee
dlework, which tells of tOilsome
hours given because of love for
beauty, and the fascination of using
skill.
The schools will make the old
timers marvel to see what the yonn-
ger generation knows. Also how
young modern children are when
they learn things which in the old
days people did not acquire until
many years later. Flower growers
will have bouquets so gorgeous as
to eclipse any rainbow Nature ever
painted on the skies.
Over on the race tracks, the fast
steppers are speeding up and down,
while the anxious crowd cheers on
its favorites or mOurns when they
lose. The politicians will be step
ping around, shaking hands with
Tom, Dick, and Harry. and saying
polite things to everybody.
over on the midway the barkers
will rise to new heights of elOquence,
and tell of the wonders of skill and
prOdigies of Nature found within
those mysterious tents. It's great
get together of American life. If you
want to get close to the heart OF our
country, the county fair gives you
as good a chance as you will ever
get. No great use to talk poverty,
when they get there in SHINY cars,
and show up such nice looking
clothes and well fed faces.

WAR OR ONE CITY!

Europe is trembling in the balance
between peace and war. II would be
a strange development if great ma
tions had 10 sacrifice millions of
young men on altars of blood. and
destroy billions of dollars worth of
property. just to settle whether the
one city of Danzig should belong to
Germany or not. 1t would lie cheaper
TO level the city TO the ground and
give every Danziger a pension for
the rest of his life.
There would be no possibility of
any such thing happening, if only
the people of Germany had free news
papers. Where newspapers are bot
tied up by the government. and where
editors who report facts and say
what they think, are likely to wake
up in a concentration camp. anything
can happen.

GETTING STARTED

Young folks who never had a job
are having all kinds of trouble in
finding work Once they get started
and can show that they have had
some experience in a job and have
done well. their chances for keep
ing at work are far better.
1t is a very discouraging thing TO
keep trying and trying to find work,
and not finding any. Many cases are
reported Of young people who have
had many such rebuffs. but by keep
ing constantly in search of employ
ment. they finally found it, AS they
went from one place to the next,
they found people who would talk
with them, give them helpful ideas.
and suggest how jobs could be OBJ
tanned. If at first you don't sue
ceed. try, try again" is about the
most helpful adage ever offered a
work seeker.

WORKING AROUND THE HOME

The people who do regular work
around their own home places with
their own hands get many rewards.
They love their homes more when
these places seem attractive and
beautiful. Life seems richer when
they come back to home nest that
welcomes them with its finish and
charm.
AS they NOW and rake the grass.
as they weed the flowers and trim
the shrubs. the active exercise gives
them something of the physical vigor
of the farmer The praise of their
neighbors is pleasant to hear. If
they went to sell such an attractive
place they get higher price. They
contribute TO the development of the
street, as neighbOrs are melted by
such an example to beautify their
own dwellings. There is no surer
way to make gains in your home
town than to improve your home
place.
Milford chronicle., 1939-09-01
WHEN DIsCONTENT BLOWS UP

The troubles which the world has
suffered for the past 20 years may
be attributed largely to great stir
rings of popular discomfort When
people are unhappy and miserable
their minds seethe with revolt. They
feel they have little to lose by rev.
olutionary changes. and many un-
stable minds feel they might gain
something. So many of them follow
wild leaders who make golden
promises of things to be done for
the public good.
The present situation in Germany
grew out of the public discomfort
with unemployment, debts owned to
the Victors of the World War, and
business and industrial prostration
Multitudes of young men roaming
the country in search of work and
finding none, created the nucleus of
force that has lifted dangerous men
to power.
The Russian revolution grew out
of similar popular discontents The
Russian people were fighting a war
the causes of which they did not
know. They began throwing down
their guns and running home Out
of that popular discomfort grew the |
Communist movement that swept the /
old government out of power and |
destroyed private property.
We have to look out in our own
country for similar popular discOn-
tents If the world gives people no !
chance to work or earn daily bread, |
something may blow up. That does /
not mean that all popular discomfort !
has to guide the country. Very many !
of the discontented people have no |
idea of what should be done to make |
their condition any better. In many |
cases the remedies they suggest |
would only make them more miser- |
able, but the undertones of popular |
unrest have to be listened to. Wise !
men have to tell how, without vio- |
lating the principles laid down by |
human experience, the more reas-
enable grounds for discomfort can |
be removed.

Many unfavOrable court decisions

have been denounced as discrimina-

Henry Eord refuses to obey an or
der of the board to re-employ a num-
ber of men ON the grounds that the
decision of the board denies him, and
the Ford company. the right to state
their views to employees and the pub
lie. Ford's position is that this is an
abridgement of free speech.
Well informed authorities believe
that the board will lose in the higher

The economist said If the United

Babson expressed the belief
Japan never would conquer China,

The Sino-Japanese conflict is a

"can never conquer China"
The possibility that internal fric-
tion will develop in Japan and
cause them to give up the conflict
was expressed by Babson who said
Japan eventually will wear her
self out
Regarding the European war the
economist said he was convinced
the Allies are allowing the fighting
