FIRE DESTROYS MAIN
WING OF SUSSEX FARMS

The main wing of 14-room colon
ial style dwelling on the Sussex
Farms" near Lewes, was destroyed
by fire last Saturday evening of un-
known origin.
The property, owned by Mervyn
L. Lafferty of Lewes, was built about
30 years ago at an estimated cost of
$4,000. 1t was partly covered by in
surance. The main wing had a high
pillared portico attached TO six
room wing on the left. 1t had been
vacated 10 days ago by the family
OF William Bryan, lessees.
Mr.. Lafferty bought it from the
Lewes Trust Company in the early
thirties and operated it several years
as a club. The fire was first discov-
cred around Z o'clock when flames
were noticed coming from the roof.
Fire companies from Lewes, Reho-
both Beach and Milton were called.
With no fire plugs nearby, all water.
available was brought to the scene
in 3O0-gallon tanks on the trucks.

The much argued question of
spanking or not spanking was up
for discussion by a group of mo-
theirs, and there were defenders of
each method. One mother of six chill
dren gave her experience with both
methods. She had started out with
the spanking" method, and later
changed to mo spanking and found
! it more satisfactory and effective.
Another thoughtful mother said,
Il had always favored the love and
reason method, and used it, but
once in a while was tempted to try
the other way. Then, one day, was
visiting g neighbor when her little
daughter was disobedient, and the
mother picked her up and gave her
a spanking. The mother could not
see the child's face but 1 could, and
the look of terror and anguish on
that little countenance almost broke
my heart. l am sure that any mo-
ther, who looked at her child and
saw such an expression, could never
punish in that way again.
Il believe you are right" said
another mother. Il think we could
often save ourselves trouble by not
ing not only the expression on a
child's face but his entire bodily
manifestation and his voice II we
try to interpret these correctly, we
can learn much of what the child is
thinking. have formed the habit OF
doing that and reacting. just as do
with older people. When a, grown-up
person begins to look obstinate, in a
discussion, we do not go on arguing
with him but tactfully change the
subject, unless we are looking for
trouble. We wait for a more propi-
tious time to discuss the matter, for
moods often change. and we should
be as considerate with
children. If we carefully choose a
favorable time for behavior correcA
ton, we shall be more successful
than IL we are Indifferent to the
our own inclinations.'
Another mother entered the dis
cuss;on saying, Il heartily agree
with that, for what we want to do is
70 win the child's cooperation, not
simply compel obedience by force"
WELL" said one of those who had
defended spanking, Il never have
line to stop to think about what I
nm going to do; the children are SO
they irritate me and
Al louse my anger so that all / can

"Did you ever stop to think that

too?" asked the mother
Who had first appealed for observa-
ion of the child's expression. Some

''The rangy youngster has hat
the ball hard since the opening

tremendous improvement around
the initial sack, where he was a
trifle awkward at the outset.
Sterling likewise is becoming
more accustomed to night BALI.
Sterling's first home run came
at the start of the opening game.

mates, put the Hats out in front
By betting one over the wall with
two men on bases, and Sterling
increased the DeLand lead by
polling out his four-bagger almost
to the same spot, DeLand took
the tussle by 1919 score.
In the second game, runaway
for DcLand by a I'll count, Ster-
ling put his team out in front in
the third when he lifted another
