for slipping onto feminine feet
when their owners are loafing
around the house after a bout Of

The warm and soft mopa-

an excellent response to his recent
announcement in which he pointed
out the opportunities for civilian
physicians and surgeons to obtain

that it was his opinion that if civil

be assured of service with the Air

in accepting commissions and re-
porting for active duty, Colonel
Ammons said that "this assurance
can now be given to all of those
whose applications receive final ap-

Delaware's war bond quota for
May has been set at 81, 5000 by
the Treasury Department, Donald
P. Ross, state administrator of de-
tense saving, announced last week.
Individual state quotas are based
on a monthly average of bonds
sales from July, 1941, through jan
uary, 1912. Mr.. Ross reported that
this states monthly average from
July of last year until February l
this year was S1,416,541. Della
wares quota outranks nine other
states. Top quota for May has
been assigned New York the figure
being SIPS, 000,000 with Pennsyl-
vania following with S53,S14, 500.

TO CONSTRUCT
NEW DUAL ROAD
From Dover to Delmar and
From Little Heaven to
Five Points
PROCEED IMMEDIATELY

Preparations for a postwar high
way construction program for
dual highway from Dover to Del
mar and from Little Heaven, north
of Frederick, to Five Points, near
Lewes, were initiated by the State
Highway Department members. A
resolution adopted by the depart
ment members, with Francis V. du-
Pont, chairman, presiding, in
structs w. w. Mack to proceed i'm
mediately with surveys for future
construction of the proposed roads
and to proceed forthwith with ap-
plication of funds of the depart
ment's 1942-43 construction appro-
priation for the acquisition of
rights-of-way.
100-Foot Right of Way
The department already holds a
100-foot right of way from immed-
lately north of Dover to Little
Heaven and also a right-of-way
from five points to Rehoboth Beach
which would permit eventually
dual highway from Dover to Reho-
both Beach. Little Heaven is at
the southern junction of Route 113,
which by-passes Dover, and Route
113A, which runs through Dover,
and lies between Magnolia and
Frederick. The two routes join at
their northern point just north of
Dover, merging with Route 10,
southern end of the dual highway.
Follow Present Road
The proposed dual highways like
ly would follow in general the
routes of the present roads, Mr..
Mack anticipated. The resolution
points out that the War Production
Board has prohibited all highway
construction except such as may be
approved by the federal author
tiles, and the only Delaware project
that probably will fall within the
requirements of the regulations is
the proposed Governor Printz
Boulevard extension.

Nervous Fatigue
Breeding Ground
OF ALI NeurOses

MUSCULAR fatigue is easy to
IM recognize. It's impossible to
have a tired muscle and not know
it. But there is another form of
fatigue = far more serious in its
effects which you can have and
not know it.
That is nervous fatigue and it is
the result of dangerously lowered
energy in the cells of your nervous
system. 1t has many symptoms, re-
ports DR.. Edward S. Cowles in the
December Good Housekeeping ma
gazine, but they are so subtle and
misleading that they frequently go
unrecognized. Fatigue, writes DR..
Cowles, probably causes more suf-
fering, more unhappiness, more
failures in marriage and business
than any other thing, because it
changes your personality, dims your
ability to make clear-cut decisions
and renders a vague irritability,
restlessness and dissatisfaction with
yourself and your surroundings.
You and your feelings blot out
everything else in the universe.
DR.. Cowles asserts that nervous
fatigue is the cause of much so
called 'heart trouble" as we'll as
indigestion, insomnia and migraine
headache. He states further that it
is the breeding ground of all the
neuroses.
Nervous fatigue, the doctor ex-
plains can be traced to the cells
which compose the body's nervous
system. The nerves are formed by
these cells, and run like little wires
which carry impulses to the brain.
AS the impulse passes through the
cell an explosion takes place and the
charge is passed from cell to cell
until it eventually reaches the brain.
But if the cells power to take up
energy is lessened it suffers imme-
diately. Under normal conditions,
DR.. Cowles points out, cell is re-
plenished with energy when we
sleep, but if the cell expends more
energy than is replenished, it natur-
ally grows weaker.
When the energy in cell is low
cred the cells irritability is in
creased, and this change causes us to
become increasingly irritable, ap-
prehensive, emotionally tense and
very impulsive.
If you suffer from any of the men,
toned symptoms, DR.. Cowles recon-
mends that you try to take life a
little easier. Learn to relax, to spend
more hours in bed. Acquire new in
terests that will start you thinking
away from yourself. Learn to do
your work with your head and your
hands, not your emotions. Get rid
Of prejudices, and fussing over
trifes-they expend your energy.
Instead build a few intelligent con-
victions in their place. But don't
feel that something dreadful will
overtake you. Simply take the one
ounce Of prevention that is worth
not one but many pounds of cure.
