No doubt there is a I1eartening
note in the plans of government al
ready studying problems which will
arise AFTER war Is over. Are we
going to be able to face what seems
to be ahead of us, to he capable of
planning ways and means of meet
ing economic pressure which is
bound to arise what with the vast
increases in production machinery
necessary in building UP our defense.
There is a National Resources
Planning Board which is devoting
its time to studying this question
and they have already given out
some Information regarding what
we might expect in case the war was
to end in 1914. To demobilize an
army, to take away workers in war
industry and add the total of work
ers in non-war industries, there will
he around the neighborhood of 49,
O00, 900 persons without work. Try
and turn this number into peace
time production, from making arms
and munitions to ordinary goods for
every day needs, would be a strain
on our national economy. There is
another note which is more hopeful
struck by a national economist, who
feels that there will be much rehab-
ilitation necessary in the Old World,
that America will lead i'm the repair
work for the globe and can thus
keep its iron and steel mills going
its facories and mines working full
tilt, shipping pushed, world pass
ing credit and goods from nation to
nation, a cooperation between peo-
piles that has never been before He
feels that necessary commodities will
be in demand from long needed
wants and the consumer will want
to be supplied at busy pace. Can
we take it?

Tribute to the American
Flag

; It is no fabric of silk or bunting
no mere beautiful cloth woven by
human hands. 1t is living thing,
pulsing with the tfrobbing arders
of humanity, glowing with the fer
vor of immortal hopes, leaping out
in ecstacies of life and dream. 1t
is a song-the song of upward-look-
ing men; it is an altar fragrant with
sacrifice. e.. s-- ~
Ut is a garden where from a ma
ton grew, watered by the pure blood
of heroes. 1t is heaven wherein
the sanctified are gathered. It is the
home where free men dwell. 1t is the
battlefield whereon honor strikes its
blow for the cause of God. 49,
It is flame springing up to con-
sumo injustice and wither the hosts
of wrong. 1t is voice that speaks
with the eloquence of graves where
sleep those who died to make it
mean purity and Righteousness. He
who looks on that flag with ran
somed eyes beholds Within its folds
the valor and the faith of Lexing-
ton and Gettysburg blazing of
the embattled farmers at Concord
bridge-the fierce splendors of the
ocean that was the cradle of John
Paul Jones the clarion death cry
above the ruined Alamo-the prayer
of Washington at Valley Forge
the agony of Lincoln as he paced the
midnight hours-and, browning all,
the windswept faces of boys who die
today along the thunder-smitten
hills of France. >.
The flag of the United States is
the glory of God shining in the
faces of those who dream of world
made clean enough to be the dwell
ing place of God. It turns our sor-
hoWs into exultation and our sacri-
fices into melody Of service. For
such a flag true men will always
gladly die-for such a flag good
men will always nobly live. s1

Donald Nelson made a name for
himself in great mail order organ
ization as a man who could get
things done. In that position he
had the right of way. His word was
law. If he wanted things done ne
gave the order and they were done.
If Nelson can get the job done in
a position loaded down with rules
and regulations and burdensome red
tape he is a Superman. -

Full Cooperation

Not only the Defense Coun-
Gil, but every person living in
the Smyrna Clayton area
should be pleased with the all
out cooperation during the
first test blackout Monday
night.
Within ten seconds, these
towns were in total darkness
and the air raid wardens on
duty at their appointed posts.
Very few people who had no
official business there were on
the streets. The entire test
was conducted with speed, ef-
ficiency, and seriousness.
The next blackout test will
be a surprise. No one will
know beforehand on what
night or at what time the all
raid signal will sound. Unless
something is done about the
Smyrna signal system, the re-
suits of the next test may not
show such good results. A
great many people will mis-.
take the raid and blackout sig
nal for a fire siren, and thus
the speed and efficiency o1
blacking out the town will be
greatly hampered.
Inadequacy and confusion
of a warning signal must sure
ly result in inadequacy an(
confusion during blackou-
tests.

Distillation Points

Distillation range tests provide an
Indication of the volatility of gaso-
line. Volatility should be such that
the engine will start easily. warm
up quickly. accelerate satisfactor
lily, operate without crankcase dilu-
ton and be free from vapor lock.
The 10 per cent point in the dis.
tillation test is the point at which
the temperature shown has evap-
GRATED 10 per cent of the gasoline,
This point is used in determining
the ease of starting the engine
Low temperatures at this point in
dicate quick starting.
This 10 per cent point is also used,
together with the vapor pressure, to
estimate the tendency to vapor
lock. A low temperature combined
with high vapor pressure, may
cause vapor lock, particularly in
warm weather.

Field House
EXTENSIVE TRAVELLER

Australia Now" an illustrated
lecture will be presented by the
Dover Junior Chamber of COM
merce in the field house of the Do
yer High School Friday evening,
April 10, at 8.15 p. m. The lectur-
er will be Aloha Baker, worlds
most Travelled woman, who will i'll
ustrate her remarks with moving
pictures taken by she and her hus-
band while on an expedition to
Australia. In addition to these
pictures she will present the official
of the Australian War Ministry en-
titled Australia Mobilizes. The
subject of Mrs. Bakers talk is very
timely and with the attention of
everyone focused on Australia
should be doubly interesting. Some
of our local troops are thought to
be in the South Seas and this even
ing will present an opportunity for
their friends and relatives to see
the country in which they will live
and fight.
Around the World Times
Mrs. Baker herself has been
around the world three times in the
past eight years and has visited
nearly every country in the world.
She has been on lecture tours in
the British Isles, Canada, and the
United States, but she has not as
yet presented this particular lec-
ture. She will come to Dover di-
rect from Town Hall, New York,
where she will present it for the
first time on April 8. AS part of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
plan for community service, and
through the cooperation of Mr.. By
ran w. Hartly, Superintendent of
Dover Schools, an abbreviated ver-
sion of the lecture and pictures will
be shown free to the high school
students Friday afternoon. Tickets
for the evening presentation are
available from any member of the
Junior Chamber or at the door.

"It is felt that the organization

Young people should work on the

Many of the volunteer activities in
which Delaware youth can partici-
pate will be the same as those en-
gagged in by adults. AS should be
expected, certain activities have

Birthdays

BIRTHDAYS are milestones in
- life,-make them happy ones.
Nobody knows when the idea OF
giving birthday cakes originated,
but it is one of those customs that,
starting way back when cake-mak-
ing originated, has carried right
through to the present day.
For little children, choose a
sponge cake; cover it with plain
sugar icing, and stick animal crack
ers in parade around the edge;
or use chocolate mice, or turtles
made from fat raisins with whole
cloves for heat and feet. The can
dies may be stuck in holders in
the center; or the cake may be
served on a birthday-cake board
which has holes around the edge
for the candles. saw one recently
with music box base that played
Happy Birthday" when the cake
was presented.
For older people it is sometimes
problem to find enough space for
the candles. The best way to get
around this difficulty is to make
three cakes of the same batter;
one large round cake for the
base: a second cake of the same
height but smaller diameter to top
this; and a third cake of still
smaller diameter for the very top.
The three cakes, when put togeth-
er, form high step-like cake, with
plenty of room for candles and
decoration. Any good rich plain
cake recipe can be used. The three
layers can be stuck together with
coffee butter frosting, and when
cold and firm, the cake can be COW
cred with delicious coffee icing.
Put the. candle holders in place
and decorate the space that is left
With glazed nuts, chopped nut
meats, or alternating halves of
dates and whole nut meats. Serve
the cake for dessert at dinner or
during the evening with big cups
of coffee topped with whipped
cream.
If a member of the household is
a selectee away at training camp,
he will keenly enjoy and appreci-
ate the remembrance of his birth
day with such a cake. Of course,
you omit the candles and do not
pack. the cake until the icing is
firm. Mail the cake in tin box,
tucking in plenty of twisted waxed
paper to prevent the cake from
sliding about.
Fluffy Coffee Icing
4 tablespoons butter

2h cups sifted confectioner's
sugar
Il teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons strong cold coffee
Stir the butter until creamy. Add

2 cups granulated sugar
" teaspoon cream of tartar

Place all ingredients In a small
