LIEUTENANT PENNINGTON With
BRITISH ARMY KILLED In ACTION

Robert Pennington, a well-known law
yer of Wilmington, received a cablegram
last Friday from the Secretary of War,
London, England announcing that his
brother, Lieutenant Thomas Pennington,
had been killed in the Allies German war
on September 30. He was an officer in a
Canadian regiment of the British army.
The cablegram read as follows:
London, Oct. z, 1915.
Robert Pennington, Wilmington, Della
ware.
Deeply regret inform you Second Lieu
tenant T. Pennington, East Kent Regi-
ment, killed in action 30th September.
Lord Kitchener expresses his sympathy.
Thomas Pennington was a son of Col.
Harry Pennington of SeafOrd, and was
born in that town on October 20, thirty
five years ago. His brother, Robert
Pennington, is a member of the law firm
of Townsend, Pennington and Topkis in
Wilmington. Ten years ago Mr.. Pen
ington went to Canada, and about year
ago when a regiment went to England
he was a member of it, and held lieu
tenants commission. Since being in the
war Mr.. Pennington has been in constant
with his brother. When
the last letter was received from him
recently, he was in Begium, and it is
supposed that in the first part of the
great drive of the Allies during the past
three weeks Pennington was killed,

A NEW DISINFECTANT.

As result of experiments conducted
at the Hygienic Laboratory of the United
States Public Health Service it is an.
nounced that a new disinfectant, pos
sessing qualities superior to ordinary dis
lntectants, has recently been discovered.
The announcement is particularly i'm
| portant at this time, coming as it does
In the face of the shortage in coal tar
derivatives which has resulted from
the European conflict.
The new preparation is derived from
pine oil, byproduct in the manufacture
of turpentine. 1t is easily prepared by
mixing certain proportions of the oil
with rosin and sodium hydroxide solu-
tion, the finished product being a red
dish brown liquid, rather thick and oily
in appearance but free from turbidity.
With water it makes a perfectly white
emulsion, much resembling milk. 1t has
pleasing odor, no Objectionable taste,
and attacks neither fabrics nor metals.
1t possesses over four times the disin-
fectant properties of carbolic acid and
is altogether nOntoxic, so that it may
safely be used as throat spray or mouth
wash in solutions of the ordinary
strength. The cost of the preparation

featured for less than fifty cents a gallon,
solely from products which are produced
in this country.
Many of the disinfectants now on the
market are neither efficient nor economi-
cal, it having been demonstrated that a
number of the most expensive and wide
ly advertised are extremely weak in dis
power, so much so that their
strength is undetermiable by ordinary
methods. The sale of compounds of
this nature constitutes fraud. A sec
ond class of proprietary preparations are
Of guaranteed strength, thus putting a
legal responsibility upon the manufact- !
lrer, but the cost of these per unit of |
iisinfecting power is frequently exces-
;ive. The householder is therefore |
)ften at a loss to select a disinfectant |
which is efficient, economical and of /
constant strength and it is believed that |
his new compound, which is to be known
IS 'Hygienic Laboratory Pine-oi Dis
will become one of the most
lseful preparations of that character.

have been purchased. One of the high
school pupils. Jesse Ward, has installed
a system of electric bells. The associa

prove school attendance through a spec

been raised toward playground equip
ment. Four acres have been purchased
and added to the school lot making it
now ten acres. A special committee has
charge of getting the new grounds ready

DELAWARE PARENT. TEACHER
ORGANIZATIONS DO fine WORK

The effort in Delaware to get the par
ents and teachers more deeply interested
in the public schools, and also to gel
them to assist in bringing about a reaI
reform in the methods of teaching the
children in the schools, has been strongly
nushed by the Commissioner of Educa-
tion. DR.. Charles A. Wagner He has
issued a booklet upon the subject of or
gauizing the Parent Teachers Associa
fons. and how to bring about an interest
in the work. In the annual report of the
work accomplished there is much encour-
agement for the rapid growth of this
effort to get better results from the money
we are spending for education.
LEADERSHIP.
Since the success of the movement de-
pends upon getting a right start, DR..
Wagner has laid great stress upon the
choice of a leader. He must have some
knowledge of the needs and possibilities
of his own local field as we'll as broader
knowledge of what is needed for the
maximum good of the state. He must
know what needs to be done at once and
what may safely be left until the asso-
Ciation has grown in numbers and inf1u-
ence He must be able to propose cor
rective measures as well as those new in
their scope. Finally, he must be able to
command his membership and provide
every one with some specific work. In
other words, he must have the tact to
delegate responsibility for the success of /
the undertaking equally upon all men,
bers.
ACTIVITIES IN DELAWARE.
Among the subjects of immediate in.
terest to every local community are those
Of school attendance, health inspection
Of school children, standardized schools,
community centers, school equipment,
school establishment, school lunches,
destitution, home gardening, club work
school meets, school savings banks, min
imum attendance, consolidation. neigh
bofhood resources, school library, holiday
celebrations and school sanitation. No
two communities will attack equal i'm
portauce to all the above topics and each
will naturally stress the things most vital
to them.
The reports of successful association
work last year were most gratifying. +
The Newark Association has seventy
members and has a definite plan of work [
outlined for this year. The Middletown P
Association has fifty members At Edge
more, the association has taken up the
problem of school consolidation. The r
New Castle Association of two hundred n
MEMBERS is interested in school SANTA
ion. il
In Kent County, there are ten active d
