A DIRTY windshield is always a
IA handicap to safe driving, par
ticularly at night when headlight
glare adds hazard. Windshields
and car windows can be quickly and
easily cleaned by using a paper
towel slightly dampened and then
polishing the glass with another

Interest in quick freezing as a

taxture of fresh foods more than
canned foods. The use of quick
frozen foods enables the family to
enjoy a properly balanced diet of

food locker plants are very popular
in the mid-western and western
states but have been slow in grow

is a building in which individual

raised or purchased locally at
wholesale prices. They are simply
prepared and taken to the locker
plant where they are quick frozen
by the operator at temperature
of about 25 degrees below zero.
They are then transferred to the

Three health specialists told the

that an analysis of the present sit

factors: A minor epidemic of flu
swept eastward from the west
coast a year ago; it has lain DOR
mant during the summer months,
apparently building up its strength.
The specialists said exactly the
same situation existed in 1915 and
1916, when the so-called Spanish

coast and ragged until late in 1919.

Washington officials have now
come out with the suggestion that
10 per cent increase in number
of eggs produced in Delaware will
be needed in 1912. With the in-
crease in the number of pullets
housed in Delaware this fall, il
looks as if this goal set for the
State would be easily reached pro-
vided the price of grain is kept in
line with egg prices.
Few Delaware eggs will find
their way into drying plants since
most of our production goes to
Ihatcheries or nearby fresh-egg
markets. However, such produc-
tion relieves other eggs for drying.
"sWith the present outlook, it
certainly appears that the year
ahead is the time to bend every ef-
fort toward maintaining nigh egg
yields simply because it looks like
good business. In addition, we are
assured it is good patriotism" L."

VXTHAT with wrangles over
w length of service for selec-
tees, newspaper debates over the
likelihood of the country entering
the war and one thing or another,
comparatively little is said about
the way selectees are being treated
in their new life. Grumbles are
heard but the other side of the pic
ture is, for some reason or other,
fairly submerged.
Gerold Frank did some research
on the subject and reports his find
ings in the October issue of Co.'S
mopolitan Magazine. A while back,
the people responsible for the up
keep of morale in the camps were
respondent over the attitude on the
part of lot of civilians that sol
diers were necessary evils but nice
girls had better cross to the other
side of the street. No more. The
United Service Organization, aided
by civilian groups formed Of people
from towns near which camps are
situated, combined with the Army
officers in charge of morale build
ing, are turning life into a lively
affair for the boys.
All over the country, U.S.O.
workers are reporting, boys are
being entertained in Elks Clubs, in
civilians homes, in hired halls,
everywhere. Debutantes, sorority
girls, home girls are doing their bit
to cheer up the lads. And, inciden-
tally, the lads mothers needn't
worry about the girls. These young
hostesses are chosen with as much
care as any boys mother would use.
A lot of the boys are learning So
cial graces they would never have
learned in civilian life, lot Of girls
are learning that pretty fine boys
are in the US. Army. There's even
a psychological gain. Ugly duck
ling girls are blooming into swans
under the attention of more re-
quests for dates than she has time

A Welcome Proposal

The proposed plan for sup
plying electric current from a
Clayton generating plant will
be welcomed gratefully by
many consumers here, both
business people and hometown
ers. Many others will be sur
prised that such facilities were
so close at hand.
If the town councils of
Smyrna and Clayton see fit to
adopt this means of receiving
electric current, it should
prove satisfactory in many
ways. The most important of
these, of course, is the saving
of many dollars for the con-
sumner by the provision of
cheaper rates. Then too, it
seems reasonable that the one
mile distance between this
town and the generating plant
would affect the quickness and
dependability of the service.
Although no definite action
is yet taken, pending a
report from the Clayton con-
Germ, the idea should be given
serious consideration. The ac-
tion being taken by council to
improve and regulate the elec-
trio current here, by the re-
locating of generators and in
stallation of modern equip
ment, is most commendable.
1t must be remembered that
all these money-saving I'M
provements can not be accom-
plished in a few weeks. There
will be a great deal of work to
be done, and if it progresses
slowly, the townspeople
should exercise patience. In
the long run, the consumers
will be the ones to reap the
benefits. And it no longer is
"iust talk" but has reached
the much more agreeable
stage of faction.

LIN ShA N~9
II search for the right man to
marry. But before she is successful,
there probably will be other men
whom she does not want to see
men who bore her, men she wants
to get rid of. What then, is she
going to do about them?
Dorothy Walworth, writing in
the September issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, has the
answer. Don't, Miss Walworth
warns, be brusque and rude, for
this will hurt mans feelings and
create an enemy. Instead, be subtle
in going about your work. Be bor-
ing, be dull and uninteresting. Talk
endlessly about yourself without
giving the man a chance to talk
about himself.
Another good idea Miss Wal
worth puts forth is never arrange
to see him alone. Surround your
self with your family, and if he
wants to take you to the moves,
insist that your kid brother or
sister come along. A sure method
of sending a man on his way, is
to pretend to be a hypochondriac.
Have frequent headaches. No man
likes to hear his date say before
they start out that she is stirred

Miss Walworth points out that
still another good way of getting

troduce him to a girl friend OF
yours who, you honestly believe, is
really his type of girl. Of course
you must be subtle about the in
