Shovel Lifts 40 Tons;
Believed Worlds Largest

MACON, MO.-A power shovel so
huge that it can pick up 40 tons of
earth and rock in one scoop is being
used at the Bee-Vecr strip mine near
here. The shovel weighs 1,500 tons,
towers as high as l4-story building
and is rated as one Of the largest in
the world.
Yet for all its size, the machine
works with ease, swinging its 4O-ton
load distance of 300 feet, releas-
ing it and then returning to its nor.
NAL position in As seconds.
The shovel is electrically operated
and is used to strip the earth from
shallow deposits Of coal. After the
large shovel has uncovered the coal
vein, smaller shovels move in and
load the coal into trucks.
Three men are needed to operate
the shovel. One works in the con-
troll room, another works underneath
the shovel and a third is kept busy
oiling the complicated machinery.

This compact Colonial cottage

MARINES KEEP HEADS UP

Drill sergeants insist that U. S.
Marine recruits keep their heads
erect when they are on the march
and the "chins in, chests OUT rule
also is stressed by the leathernecks
at their training stations.
Often the correct posture of the
seasoned sea soldier, while on pa
rade or at drill, has been induced
by the frequent promptings of
some non-com. A slovenly or loose
gait is detected at once and an eff
fort is made to correct the fault.
Anyone who has obseved' the ma
zines marching down the street will
lote the easy swing Of their arms
and the apparently effortless man.
1er in which they cover the ground.
But it is not for the sake of ap-
oearances alone that the marines
insist upon the correct carriage in
marching. Proper walking habits
make for good health and also add
10 the endurance of military men
when they have to cover long dis
,tances afoot.
A faulty stride with the shoul-
1ers rounded and the abdomen out
will cause a "swayback" curve in
The lower spine, health authorities
say. 1t also tends to make a for
ward off balance tipping of the
oelvis and a consequent sag of the
organs.

Z, 8. How excellent is thy loving
kindness, o Godi. For with thee
is the fountain of life. A bible ci-
tation from the lesson-sermon:
Deut. 6: 33 & John II: 8. Ye shall
walk in all the ways which the
Lord your God hath commanded
you, that ye may live, and that it
may be well with you, and that ye
may prolong your days in the land
which ye hall possess. 8. And this
is life eternal, that they might
know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy: '"This is life eternal" says
Jesus,-is, not shall be; and then he
defines everlasting life as a present
knowledge of his Father and of
himself, the knowledge of Love,
Truth, and Life. This is life
eternal, that they might know
Thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom Thou hast sent" The
Scriptures say, MAN shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth
of Cod" showing that Truth is the
actual life of man; but mankind OBJ
jects to making this teaching prac-

KRAEUTER TRIO
PLAN CONCERT
To Be Presented as Part of
Dover Concert Series
Friday Night
PRESENT PROGRAM

Members of the Dover Coopera-
tive Concerts Association are antic-
ipating an enjoyable evening on
Friday of this week at the Capitol
Theater, when the Kraeuter Trio
will be presented in varied pro-
gram: Phyllis Kraeuter, 'cellist;
Karl Kraeuter, violinist; and Will
lard MacGregor, pianist. The group
not only plays ensemble music;
each member does considerable re-
search into the past, present and
future of this art form. Trio mu-
sic, they say, grew out of an Eliza
bethan custom of including a"chest
of viols" as part of the standard
household equipment of a manor
house or castle. On Sunday after
moons, or other peaceful times
when the weather was too bad to
go hawking, musically talented
gentry would hold forth. The in
struments were lutes and viols of
various kinds predecessors of mod
ern stringed instruments) and an
ancestor of the piano called a vir-
ginal (some say named after Eliza
beth, the Virgin Queen, an expert
performer). The only written score
was a figured bass" for the key
board. The other players impro-
vised, the resulting ensembles at
tanning, it may be imagined, proble-
matte results. However, the music
must have been good more often
than not, because the custom per-
sisted, and by the seventeenth CEN
tury the most illustarious compos-
ers found the trio and quartet
forms inspiring to their genius. The
earliest written Trios known to the
Kraeuter Threesome are worsk of
Loeillet and solitary score of
Bach. Although the word trio"
does not necessarily designate
violin, cello, and piano, it is this
combination which has access to
the richest fund of repertoire. The
great classicists, Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven and others, all wrote
many compositions in this medium.
Brahms, Tschaikowsky and others
of the colorful romantic school
wrote extensively in this medium.
OF the modernists, Raavel Pizetti,
Caasella, Juo, Bridge and Warner
have written in their characteristic
styles for the classic trio. Although
members only are admitted to the
concert, memberships may be OBJ
tanned by persons gaining residence

last week at the Wilmington "Y."
David Creighton, boys work secre-

retaries from Is associations in
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and the District of Columbia at
tended. The farmer-aid program
contemplates aid to farmers having
lands adjacent to "Y" boys sum-
mer camps on the part of boys in
the f4-16-year-old groups attending
the camps. Under the plan the
boys would voluntarily give a part
of their time each day to certain
farms. In this way it is hoped the
farms faced with a shortage of help
may be assisted and the boys
taught lessons in agriculture.

"The Spotlight"
By Jack and Al

In introducing the Spotlight
we, the writer's, will try to bring
you the news of Smyrna and vicin-
| ity. Perhaps you recall, as we do,
that excellent bit of writing by
"Chip" Bell who is now in the U. S.
Air Force. We may try to initiate
but we know that we can never
equal it.
And now for the news:
Even though we are bit late we
wish to compliment the Town of
Smyrna and all the home owners on
their excellent decorations that
were visible in Smyrna over the
Xmas holidays.
The Smyrna Eagles took two de-
feats at the hands of Brown Voca-
tinal and Alexis 1. dupont. De-
spite an excellent turnout at the
bonfire and parade before the Voca-
tional game, Smyrna suffered its
| first loss at the hands of Bradshaw's s
tassvrs. the Tag also tooK7
it on the nose twice. Better luck
next time basketballers!
The Smyrna cheerleaders must
have been little drowsy the few
minutes prior to the game. The
dupont girls got away with the
first cheer. After this the girls
made fine showing of themelves
as they also did in the Vocational
game. For the first time in many
years the girls are sporting "dashy"
costumes.
Clayton is honored with sing
ng star, Richard Hopkins. He
gave his first premier at the Wagon
Wheel last Saturday mite. He was
by everyone but a GER
tain Sr girl. Booty, you just
don't appreciate good singing.
1t is shame that the stores in
Smyrna can't take care of this cold
spell by laying in few pair of ice
skates. Wilmington must be hav-
ng a good business on this sort of
sports equipment.
We hear rumors of Miss Ann
joining the American
Red Cross (foreign service), active
luty too, in June. Is the U. S.
Army the cause of this?
Rivalry between two towns is re-
,umed as the Eagles meet the"Blue
and White" of Dover in the Eagles
nest" tomorrow (Friday). The
Smyrna team deserves the undivid-
I'd support of all Smyrna. Let's all
zee this game, the battle of coach
IS.
Our thought for the week:
"a horsewhip can make more
han a horse rum" For detailed ac-
counts ask Buzzy.
We wonder whose gold basket
oall a certain Sophomore girl is
Middletown's fortune is
decreased by one gold basketball.
The Senior Glass of j. B. M. will
hold another benefit movie titled
Three Sons o Guns" This movie
IS for the benefit of the Washington
Trip Fund, January 21 and %, at
Roxy Theatre. Tickets can be OBJ
aimed from any Senior. Your pur-
chase of a ticket will be greatly ap-
oreciated by the Seniors.
We ask you to support the Red
Cross drive in Smyrna by contrib
lting as much as you can.
This week we turn our Spotlight
IN all those boys in the services of
he United States. We ask you to
write to the boys in these services
and to send them books or other
reading material. These boys are
giving their all for the protection
If our country and in return we
should buy as many Defense Bonds
and Stamps and Keep En- Fly
ng."
Until next week we say, So Long.
