New Treatments

We have only begun to know
much about the steroids. Only
about 1880 were new teehniques
evolved to analyze and synthesize
the molecules chemically. But al
ready we have found substances
which we are beginning to utilize
in these awkward age syndromes.
Perhaps some day we will be able
to pep up Mother Nature and
make it a more bearable period.
In the meantime, there is COM
fort in this. The awkward age
passes and most Of its disfgure-
ments and troubles with it. You
see few mature women with the
acne or lumpiness Of that other
period. As / said recently about
visible pores, many a mother who
had them in her youth has a COM
plexion that is the envy of her
daughters today.

Gus consideration by army navy
and flying experts.
To recapitulate briefly, Lindy's
proposition is that no formidable
force could be landed in this coun-
try directly by plane from over
seas; to bomb us at all, to amount
TO anything, an enemy nation
would have to have a base or bases
much nearer TO US than clear
across either Of our oceans.
Now, how, queries the colonel,
could an enemy establish such a
base or bases? II could only be
done, he answers, by the ferrying
OF a sizable army over tn surface
Of the waters. effecting a landing
and hanging onto whatever spot or
spots it had chosen TO occupy. And,
In his opinion, our own planes, OPP
Grating not far from home, would
play smash with the enemy's trans
ports; whereas the enemy's planes,
still lacking a western hemisphere
cal base to land on or take off,
from, couldn't afford their surface
craft any effective protection.
Consequently Indy reasons that
the enemy army never could be
landed, his planes would continue
to be baseless on our side Of the
water, and it would be impractical
for 'em to fly here, from as far
away as their home bases, except
virtually to commit suicide.

The Awkward Age

The first age of woman is not
different from the first age OF
man. Her physical or mental
problems are no different, and she
feels no strangeness in the pres
ence or activities Of the opposite
sex.
The second is the awkward age.

difficulties here, but there are ex-
ceptions.
get hundreds Of letters about
the awkward age-from parents
and the young ladies themselves.
They are all about pimples, and
acne, and visible pores, and hair,
and being too short or too tall, or
overweight, or not having the
weight properly distributed-and
| wish | could answer them all
with some definite and infallible
remedy for all Of these things.
But can't. Doctors have been
irving to cure acne and black
heads since the Queen of
Punt recommended hippopotamus
grease on the banks of the Nile
twenty-five hundred years ago,
and without much more success
than she had.
Of course, all these curious
glands are beginning to tune up at
this age and sometimes they don't
synchronize. DR.. Sherwood Taylor
blames it on chloesterol. Choles-
terol is, chemically, a kind of fat,

He Should Know


That Colonel Lindbergh's quail
fed to discuss army and naval pos
sibilities is doubtful maybe, but it
generally is agreed that he knows
what airplanes can do. So when he
says that they can't bother US ma
terially, from as far off as Europe,
the assumption is that he under
stands what he's talking about.
OF course, remark our navy stra-
tegists, familiar with the Oriental
situation, Japan's different,
If the Axis wins in Europe and
Germany, for instance, presently
decides to take the warpath
against us, it will have to visit our
Pan-American shore Of the Attain
tic; we shan't go over there. In
that case perhaps Indy argu-
1ment will hold water.
But nobody expects the Japs to
come here to attack us. What
they're lkelier to do is to create
conditions in the Far East to the
prejudice of our interests, in which
event Wen have to cross to their
side Of the Pacific. Wen be in the
same fix that Indy says Germany
will be in if Herr Hitler undertakes
a thrust in our direction. We're the
ones who'll have. to cross ain, ocean
to gain an anti-Japanese foothold,
with all the natural advantages
against us.

the subject Of aviation he certainly
would have a respectful audience.
It's when he gets into world pol
itics that he's pooh-p6ohed.
He not only is an extremely
ultra American iselationist; he
wants US to remain on good terms
with Germany, with view to post
war developments. And l don't be-
lieve there's any question that this
country is anti-Hitler; not neces-
sarily anti-German, though l do
suspect that we blame the Ger
mans for tolerating Adolf The re-
suit is, probably, that Charlie has

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

From time to time in my travels
I have found a place of extreme
beauty. Among these beauty spots
are peaks Of the Rocky Mountains,
Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon, Lake
Tahoe, Mount Hood, forests of red
wood trees, the Lakes Of Killarney,
the Alps of Switzerland and the
hords of Norway.
It would be hard to say which OF
those is most beautiful, but two
places have seemed to me most like
fairyland. One was a deep, green
forest in Ireland, with ancient trees
whose gnarled limbs were loaded
with moss. While in this forest I
thought, mo wonder the Irish have
90 many stories about fairies"
The other "fairyland" was a ford
IN Norway. AS small steamer took
me mile after mile up the ford,
gazed at the scenes which changed
one into another, and they seemed
too wonderful to be true. Steep
mountains rose from either side.
The waterway was broad in one
part, narrow in another, then broad
again. .
A ford is an old river valley with

Don't Take Ny

SoeriIegious
Adj. Desecrattng that ,Dhtch Is
Sncred

It will be a distinct surprise to
many readers (and especially to
the clergy) that the popular pro-
nunciation "sak-ree-LIJ-uss," in
which the last three syllables have
the exact sound of the word reli-
gious, is not best usage. although it
is listed as second choice by some
authorities.
Contrary to common belief, sac
rilegious does not derive from reli-
gious. Note the difference in SPELL
ing.
Sacrilegious is from Latin word
fsacrilegus) that means lone who
steals or picks up sacred things"
Religious is from the Latin word
treligio) that means taboo, re-
straint"
In sacrilegious it is better to
rhyme the third syllable with fee
see. than with ridge. Accent the
first and third syllables.
Correct pronunciation: SAK-ri-
LEE-juss.
Question: Is 1t correct to accent
primarily on the second syllable?
H. H.
Answer: Modern dictionaries show
the accent on the first syllable
only. The second syllable rhymes
with her, not with hair.
Correct pronunciation: PRY-mer-
ft-lee.

SUGGEST COMMUNITY BUILDING

This is question which can best
be answered by the residents of
Smyrna themselves. Should public
opinion grow to the point wherein
it would focus the demand for a
project of this nature, it is not un-
seasonable to assume that Com
munity Building would result. The
thought of building a Community

The realization of this project

men born in and near Smyrna;
also some born outside of Smyrna,
who moved to this town early in
life. Colonel Allan McLane, born
in Philadelphia, Pa, later moving
to Smyrna to engage in the tan
ming business was an outstanding
one. Colonel McLane left his per-
sonal business to enter the service
of his country during the Revolu-
tionary War. He gave valuable
service during the war, often car
rying messages through the enemy
lines. A descriptive account of the
service of Colonel McLane and his
Kent County Scouts in protecting
and saving the life of General La
fayette was told. Many outstand-
ing events which happened under
orders of General George Washing
ton were cited. After Colonel-Mc-
Lanes service in the Continental
Army, he returned to Kent County
and became active in the interests
of the State of Delaware and the
