Lost and Found System
Makes Children Neof

nO you find that childres are
- forever leaving their belong
ings about the house? If you do,
you know that this is especially
true in summer because youngsters
are around so much more.
To teach her children to correct
this fault Jean Hersey started a
unique system which she tells about
in the June issue of Good House
keeping magazine. Settling down
on the sofa Mrs. Hersey found that
she was quite apt to meet various
nubbly objects as she leaned back
to relax-her boys fire engines, or
her daughters roller skates. To
make sure this didn't become a
common habit Mrs. Hersey put up
a convenient shelf and over it a
sign saying "Lost and Found. You
must work your belongings out"
Any possessions left where they
shouldn't be are hastily put here by
whoever discovers them. To retrieve
an article Mrs. Hersey made the
provision that the owner must do
job that benefits the household in
general. 'sThe tasks" she says, "are
never too arduous, but the knowl-
edge that they must be done in
spires a higher standard of neat
ness than we ever had"
IF the children want their toys
back they must do such things as
water the plants or wash and dry
the dishes, and they are always
accomplished cheerfully and with
quite a bit of humor.

STATE OFFICES
TO REMAIN OPEN
Departments at Dover Decide
To Keep State Offices
Open on Saturday
IN INTEREST OF PUBLIC

State department heads at a
conference with Secretary of State
Earle D. Wiley Thursday after
noon decided against Saturday clos
ing of state offices in Difference to
the public interests. However, in
some offices only skeleton staffs
will be maintained while in others
practically the full forces will be
held on duty. In all cases, there
will be adequate staffs to meet the
needs of the public, Secretary Will
ley announced following the confer
ence. The much-discussed matter
of closing on Saturdays had been
left to the department heads, with
Thursdays conference bringing
about the decision to remain open.
Each department will be guided, in
determining the number of its per-
sonnel to be kept on duty, by the
work confronting the department
and the attention necessary to pub
lie needs. There is assured, how
ever, some Saturdays off for differ
ent of the employees. DR.. H. V.
Holloway, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, explained that Satur-
day holidays for any of the Depart
ment of Public Instructions en-
ployes would have to end no later
than the second Saturday in Au-
gust because from that time on the
department will be too busy in pre-
pairing for the opening of schools to
curtail its staff. AS to the Cor
poration Department, Secretary
Wiley said it presents the problem
of either closing or keeping on duty
virtually the full staff, and that the
latter policy will be adhered to in
the interest of public business. At
the conference were Secretary VIII
ley, DIR. Holloway, State Bank Com
missioner Frank E. Lynch, Jr.,
State Treasurer Peter S. Collins,
Deputy State Auditor Charles E.
Boyce, and E. Sherman Webb, Chief
Warden of the Game and Fish
Commission.

all unemployed persons, no matter

offices in Wilmington, Dover and
Georgetown. Women are also urg-
ed to register for clerical and pro-
duction jobs In this connection
DR.. Wharton pointed out that sew

St. Vincent Millay. Although it was
a democratic eating place the regu-
lar customers formed little club
of their own, and strangers received
only a cold reception. In its own
way, it was more exclusive than
the Union League Club. Here the
plan for the well-known Washing
ton Square Players was Matched,
and its tradition n-breaking tech
niques brought praises from sedate
Alexander Woollcott, then drama
critic for the New York Times.
"The period from 1918 till we
entered the first World War;" Gal
liant writes, "was the most romantic
h the glamourous history of Green
wich Village. In those days it was
pot merely geographical location;
It was an amusing gathering place
where men and women, young and
old, came to live and dream and
work in freedom. 1t fostered an easy,
delightful state of mind which
tossed tradition to the winds and
gave conventions a swift kick.n

HOME BUILDING
is IMPORTANT
Considered One of Important
Forces During National
Building Period
NEW BOOK OFFERED

Home building continues as one
of the most important forces in the
nations construction program dur
ing the protracted period of en-
phasis on huge defense jobs. More
and more families look toward the
personalized comforts, convenienc-
es and security that they can find
only in their own homes. The
healthy trend does not show any
signs of reversing itself in the near
future. Howard M. Thompson,
general manager of Home Owners
Catalogs, said that he considers it
highly significant that the money
being spent for building one and
two family houses has increased
this year and, at the some time,
less money has gone into multi
family or apartment houses. While
many of the houses being built to-
day are speculative, that is built to
be sold or rented, large extra
discriminating group orders its
homes built especially to fit the in
dividual needs and fancies of the
families who will live in them.
Readers of The Smyrna Times
who are planning to build homes
for their own occupancy in this
area during the next twelve
months, at costs of $4,000 or more
may have personal copies of Home
Owners Catalogs to guide them in
the deliberations of their home
planning stage. There is no cost
nor obligation involved in writing
to F. w. Dodge Corporation, Phila-
delphia, for this book, designed ex-
clusively for home building fam
lilies. It will be sent postage paid
to all who qualify.

New amusements will be at the
Smyrna Firemen's Carnival this
wear which is to be held soon.
The idea of cow walking down
the middle of the street at mid
night, is not one relished by the
residents of Main Street. This hap
pened, though, one night last week
when the residents were awakened
by a cow slowly moving down the
street Drawing at the top of her
lungs.
1t so happens that Joe Ennis is
keeping the horse that belonged to
Mr.. Will Wright, former owner of
the lumber yard. This horse, it
seems, had acquired the habit of
chewing tobacco, so the other day
when Mr.. Wright went out to see
his horse, he took some tobacco
along with him. When Mr.. Wright
offered the horse the tobacco, he
would not take it but stuck his
nose up at it. Obviously Mr.. Ennis
has broken this horse of his bad
habits.

DETROIT, Aug. 25.-Bobby Jones,
solfdom's 3s-year-old elder states
man from Georgia, was back in the
thick Of his former glory today after
his 7-and-1 victory over Henry
Picard turned the tide against Capt.
walter Hagen's Ryder Cup team in
4 two-day charity match at the
Detroit Golf Club.
The stocky Georgian, once master
ef them all, emerged from virtual
retirement after 10 years and yester-
day provided the ounce of inspira-
ton that hoisted his team OF chal-
leneers to an 81 -61a victory-the
FIRST ever scored over Hagen's Ryder
Cuppers.
Jones was four down at the end
Of the first nine holes, but that was
the depth of his humility. He fought
back to even terms at the 18th and
moved ahead 2 up in the next nine.
Once again on the homeward stretch
he lost a hole, but made it up to
close out the match on the 35th.
Wood Victor Over Ghezzi.
Other victors for the challengers
were Craig Wood, National Open
champion, who drubbed Vic Ghezzi,
national P. G. A. title holder, 3 and
q; Ben Hogan, who defeated Byron
Nelson, Z up; Jimmy Demaret, win
ner over Paul Runyan, and 4;
clayton Haefner, who defeated
Horton Smith, and 6, and Denny
Shute, who downed Harold (Jug)

Only Ralph Guldahl, Dick Metz
and Jimmy Hines won for the
Cuppers. Guldahl beat Gene Sara
