KITE FLYING.

Editor Star: The kite flying con-
test of the boys of the Mid-Pacific
Institute on Saturday was a great sue
cess.
Indeed, it would be very hard to find
anything more interesting, instructive
or beautiful than this kite flying con
test, or anything in which greater
amount of ingenuity and skill had
been displayed in the design and the
making of them.
These kites were of every imagin-
able design and varying from a but

were beautiful beyond description
Their flying capacity was no less
wonderful than their beauty, and their
peculiar designs, and many were the
obs" and "Ahs!" and other eXclamG-
lions of Secstacy that one heard as
these kites went through their vari-
Gus evolutions, or sailed maiestically
away up in the clear blue sky
To one unaccutomed to such a
sight It was something wonderful and
there we're many of the spectators
who expressed their delight at wit
Messing such an unusual display, and
have decided to write their friends in
the East of the JOY they experienced
in viewing it.
Much ingenuity was also displayed
in the fighting contest. in which one
boys kite seemed to surpass all the
others.
No less beautiful and commendable
was the behavior of these boys, who
seem to be inbued with a true spirit
of courtesy and kindness, which they
displayed toward every one and which
seems to go a long way in solving the
race problems, and to some extent
doing something toward bringing
about the peace of the world.
Indeed, the faculty of the Institute
is deserving of great praise for reviv-
ing this beautiful custom of the far
East, and for the many other great
things that they are trying to ac-

If space will permit, l should like
to say word or two about the May
day Fete on Saturday, which to all
lovers of the beautiful was both a
pleasure and a delight.
In the first place the grounds of
Thomas Square were beautifully dec
GRATED for the occasion.
The various booths were perfect in
design and in their color scheme, and
were only surpassed in beauty by the
fair occupants.
The flags of the various nations
fiuttering in the breeze and the two
bands and the many other attractions
added in no small degree to the pleas
ure of the spectators.
Not the least charm of the place was
that of the many really beautiful chill.
dren and young girls that roamed the
grounds, or sold flowers, candy, etc,
or who waited on the tables.
Indeed it would be impossible to
mention all the attractions, or to do
justice to the perfect order and the
fine arrangement of everything.
There was but one disappointment
and that was to find the luau had
given out so early in the day, for
many persons had neglected to get
luncheon and had arrived there fam
ished only to find that the luau was
pau.
No one could complain of a lack OF
amusements on Saturday with this big
fete. kite flying, ball games, minstrel
show, bathing and surf riding, auto
parties, and many other sports going
on all at the same time.

STUDENTS AT DOVER STRIKE
Dover School Pupils March With Ban
ners Protesting Against Proposed
Removal of Superintendent

Dover school students went on
strike last week. After emptying
the school rooms, they paraded the
streets with banners, protesting
against the school boards dismissal
of Superintendent Crawford. Ban
ners were rugged in several public
places. The students marched to
the green, where an indignation
meeting was held. About one hum
dred students of the Dover High
School paraded. They were carry
ing a banner which read as follows:
"We stand for Mr.. Crawford and
an explanation by the board" " The
inference is that they desire the
Board of Education to make pub
lie statement giving their reasons,
in detail. for making a change in
the High School faculty. At the
meeting of the board Tuesday night
of last week, the board elected
Professor George S. Messersmith,
principal of the Lewes schoool, to he
| principal OF the Dover schools, TO
succeed Professor Alexander Craw-
ford, who has been supervising
principal for several years. Many
of the children have become very
much attached to Mr.. Crawford,
hence the demonstration. When in
quiry was made of some of the
children relative to their grievance,
they said they thought the board
should explain why they made the
change now instead of in May, the
usual time. Older persons who saw
the incident, expressed the belief
that the matter would be adjusted.
In the line was a daughter Of
George M. Jones, President Of tht

W, M. Newton, a contractor for
cement work and concrete construc-
tion, went before the Kent County
Levy Court in response to an invi-
tation to discIss with the members
the proper methods of making con-
crete and of reinforcing it with
steel. The commissioners want to
adopt uniform system of building
wing walls and abutments, as we'll
as substructures for bridge and
causeway work. MIR. Newton said :
"Don't throw a little water into
some cement and sand and imagine
you have a concrete that will hard
en- and not rust steel and stand the
test of time. You have all seen
your wives make bread. They put
in flour, then water, then yeast,
then water, then more flour, and
they mix, mix, mix. Finally they
have the proper assembling of the
parts. Making cement is very
much like making bread"

Expected That Fifteen Will Be Placed

Reports from all parts of the
county are to the effect that large
acreages of tomatoes will be put out
this year in Sussex and canneries in
all sections are preparing for the
extensive crop expected, If condi-
tions are favorable. In the eastern
section of the county four or five
new canneries will be built in time
for operation this summer. and they
are already contracting with the
farmers in the immediate locality
where they will be built. The Mid
way Canning Company, near Lewes,
was recently organized, and many
of the farmers have already con.
tracted to grow tomatoes at Is
cents the five-eight basket or SO per
ton. Factories, it is said, will be
built at Wolfe's Crossing, between
Ellendale and Milton, while two
factories, it is said, will be erected
at Lincoln City. Woodland, about
five miles from Seaford. will have
one, and it is reported that one will
be established at Greenwood. In
the vicinity of Milton about fifteen
factories will be operated -Four
factories are located in Miltor
