Navy Announces
Modification Of
Physical Standards

A relaxation of physical stan
dards for enlistments in the u.
S Navy and the Naval Reserve
was announced this week by the
Navy Department. In comment
ing on this action, the announce
m"nt stated that numerous men
who in past months have sought
to enlist and have been rejected
on the basis of minor physical
defects will, because of the mo-
dification of physical standards,
be encouraged to re-apply for
enlistment in either the regular
Navy or the Naval Reserve for
the duration of the emergency.
The Navy Department has re-
quested that any person know
ing of young men who had been
barred from enlistment in the
Navy or the Naval Reserve be-
cause of minor physical reasons
should bring this modification
in physical requirements to the
attention of these young men.
All applicants accepted with
defects requiring correction will
be hospitalized. After correction
of these defects recruits will be
returned to their Training sta
tons at the earliest practicable
time.

It's not the custom to hang an

.Neighborhood
Vital Factor in
Home Values
Design and Cost
Must Fit Trend
Of Surroundings
By RUFUS S. LUSK.

Many things go to give a house
its value: design, construction. plan,
grounds, location. This article deals
with location and neighborhood as
value-giving attributes.
No one thing contributes more
to the value of property than its
location and its surroundings. Let's
take a somewhat exaggerated ex-
ample to make this clear. Two
hotels are built. They are of iden-
tical construction, modern TO the
last word, well furnished One is
built in the heart of a city, the other
way far from the center of the city.
The first will have a value that is
commensurate with its cost. The
second is of doubtful value. Both
cost the same to build. The first
has value because it has patronage
and it has patronage because of its
location. Because of its distant 10
cation, the second has few guests
and therefore has no practical value.
Now the same comparison, in
varying degrees, can be applied to
any home. Let's take another ex-
ample. A house, in order to have
value in proportion to it's invest
ment, must be built in neighbour
hood appropriate to its construction,
design and cost. A $4,000 house,
placed among $4,000 and $4,000
houses will seldom bring anything
approaching its investment at a
resale.
Wrong Side Of Tracks.
There are thousands of houses in
Washington and other cities in So
called "blighted" areas. Most of
these houses are in the central part
of the city. The houses are not
worn out They need some paint,
modernization, etc, but with a COM
paratively small expenditure Of
money they could be made attractive

the soft rose in fresh flowers make

A dining room which should be
restful but sparkle when necessary
might have pale soft gray walls
draperies of clear yellow and green
on gray or white ground. Clea,
yellow lamp shades on white bases
and chair seats upholstered in clear
mint green would make the whole
room click.

URGED TO COMPLETE PARK
Work to Keep in Mind Original
Plan of William Penn

Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, presi-
dent of the State Park Commits
sion, in communication to Donald
G. Bank, chairman of the Battery
Park Commission, has urged that
the Trustees of the New Castle
Common use part of the $4,000
they have received for the sale of
farm land to the county airport to
complete the planting work at the
battery. Mrs. Thompson, who is
also president of the Society for
the Preservation of Antiquities, the
group that restored the Dutch
House, says that the work could be
finished for $4,000 Her letter to
Mr.. Banks follows: "I have been
hoping every day to read in the
papers that the Trustees of the
Common have appropriated the S5,-
900 necessary to complete the
planting of the Battery Park, but
nothing has been published yet. 1t
would seem to me that the strict
rules applying to the funds obtain
ed by the sale of the Commons
might be suspended in this case
and that the money necessary
could be taken from the sum of
$4,000 just realized, to complete
this much needed project. AS a
lover of New Castle my first
thought is of hearing the news,
now the park can be completed
Inasmuch as in the olden days VIM.
Penn made this grant of land Of
the people of New Castle, it would
seem to be entirely in keeping with
his original idea to lay aside this
small portion of the funds received,
to be used to give the people of
New Castle and those who visit
there, the pleasure of enjoying a
beautiful park"

&1AN Of the
kHU'S.MARINES
WON BADGE FOR
BRAVERY

Tales of heroism overseas recall
the valor shown by our own fight
ing forces in the first World War,
the luster of whose deeds remains
undimmed even though the present
war is adding many names to the
honor roll of those who have won
awards for bravery.
Not all of the decorations won in
the stirring days of 1918 were for
heroism in battle. Some were earn
ed under circumstances far less
spectacular though equally fraught
with danger in some less active sec
tor. Such was the award won by
1st Sgt. John K. McGraw of the U.
S. Marines.
Mac, as he was known to his
buddies, was the first sergeant of
an aviation squadron in Flanders
when a Marine Corps plane got
out of control and crashed into a
pile of live bombs.
In an instant he was at the
scene of the crash and making
every effort to rescue the aviator,
pinned beneath the burning plane.
Tongues of flame scared the crates
which the bombs had been placed,
while bursting drums of machine
gun bullets from the burning plane
added to the danger.
One glance assured McGraw that
the pilot, whose chest had been
crushed, was beyond help. He
worked frantically to drag the
burning bomb crates off the pile
while others rolled them in the mud
until the fire was extinguished. An
explosion would have destroyed the
airdrome and cost many lives.
Later McGraw received the Navy
Cross ''for extraordinary heroism
in the line of his profession" none
che less heroic for having been per-
formed, as are so many similar
acts today, far from the actual fir
ing line.

hands of the apostles were many
signs and wonders wrought among
the people. 16. There came also
multitude out of the cities round
about Jerusalem, bringing sick
folks, and them which were vexed
with unclean spirits: and they were

church is built on the divine Prin-
ciple, Love. We can unite with
this church only as we are new
born of Spirit, as we reach the Life
which is Truth and the Truth
which is Life by bringing forth the

SURPLUS EGGS
IN WATER GLASS
Eggs May Be Preserved For
Winter Use By Packing
i'm Water Glass
TO BE USED ANY TIME

A real egg booster is Miss Pearl
Macdonald, nutritionist for the
University of Delaware Agricultur-
al Extension Service, who advo-
Gates the use of eggs in the diet of
every person every week in the
year. She says that every person
should eat at least from four to six
eggs a week. And besides eating
eggs in any of the tasty ways that
they can be prepared, this nutri-
zionist suggests including eggs as
often as possible in all cooked dish
es. Eggs, says Miss Macdonald,
belong to the protective group of
foods, including milk and dairy
products, vegetables and fruits.
These foods are protective because
they contain high quality proteins
and an abundance of vitanins and
minerals. Water glass solution is
Miss MacDonald's first choice as a
way to preserve eggs for winter
use. Here are her directions for
preserving eggs by the use of
water glass, which may be pur-
chased at local drug stores. A
stone crock is probably the best
container for the water glass. A
five-gallon crock will hold 10 dozen
eggs. Infertile eggs are best. Sc
lect only clean, one-day-old eggs.
Do not wash eggs. Clean crock
thoroughly, scald and let dry, Boil
a quantity of water and let it cool.
Measure out nine quarts of the
water into the crock. Add one
quart of water glass. Mix well,
and the solution is ready to receive
the eggs. Put those surplus sum-
mer eggs into the solution from
day to day. But be careful to keep
from cracking the eggs. Keep two

Various Lines Bound
Greater City of Boston

BOSTON.-When a visitor asks
how large metropolitan Boston" is,
it is more than likely he will be an
swered with another question:
What Metropolitan Boston do you
mean?"
There are altogether more than IL
different divisions known as Metro
politan Boston, the smallest of them
containing IA communities and the
largest containing 80 cities and towns.
The different districts are the re-
suit Of smaller communities being
linked to Boston to obtain water
supply more efficiently and cheaper
or to coordinate other services.
Most of the communities cooperate
with Boston along business lines but
refuses to be joined to the hub in
ventures that would bring them un-
der the city's higher taxes and prop
erty assessments.
Among the Metropolitan Bostons
commonly mentioned are the areas
served by the Boston planning COM
mission, the Boston postal district,
the Metropolitan Tansit commission,
the metropolitan police, the metro
politan water division, the metropolis.
tan park district and the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany.
None of the districts is similar to
another and none is absolute. The
commonly accepted division, how
ever, is that of the planning COM
mission, which contains 43 cities and
towns.
