Summary: We study the scalar equation $x''+ f(t, x, x')x'+ b(t)g(x(t- L))= 0$ by means of contraction mappings. Conditions are obtained to ensure that each solution $(x(t),x'(t))\to (0, 0)$ as $t\to\infty$. The conditions allow $f$ to grow as large as $t$, but not as large as $t^2$. This is parallel to the classical result of {\it R. A. Smith} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 12, 123--125 (1961; Zbl 0103.05604)] for the linear equation without a delay.
