State. Board Guards
Milk Supply
are Notified of Nev
Rulinp

The State Board of Health has
recently adopted for the stand
ardlzation of the milk supply of
Delaware, a set of rules which
are to be strictly enforced after
May first, 1916. The standard to
which the milk men must meas
ure in order to avoid prosecution
follows: Butter fat, not less than
3.25 per cent; solids, not fat, not
less than S.5 per cent; total SOL
ids, not less than 11.75 per cent:
bacteria, not over 25O,O0O per
cubic centimeter; no sediment or
visible dirt permitted; no pre-
serVatlves of any description to
be placed in the milk.
The bacterial count and Wis
lble dirt indicate the care used
to keep the milk clean. Many Milk
dealers do not cool their milk i'm
mediately, resulting in a high
count.
DR.. Watson, of the State Board
OF Health laboratory at Newark,
IN commenting today on the rules
recently adopted said:
Every housekeeper is very
much interested in the milk uues-
ton. Pure milk is a blessing to
every community. Seldom does a
day pass without question in re-
latlon to some milk-supply. With
great satisfaction we look over
the records of The State of Della
wares milk supply. The progress
That has been made within the
past few years toward better milk
IN Delaware with limited in
spection, will undoubtedly show a
: marked improvement under a
forced and extensive inspection.

"The object of this statemen,
, is is not to discuss the proper hand,

that in the future the tests of The
milk supplies are to be published
No further warning is to be giver

The dial plate of time was
turned backward last Friday,
from 1916 to the seventeenth
century, when merry children,
romping peas SAINTS, dignified
lords, beautiful ladies, and state
ly danes of Elizabethan times,
visited Frazer Field, in observ-
ance of the tercentenary of the
poet Shakspere's death. At the
Women's College, promptly at
three o'clock all those who were
to join in the celebration assem-
bled, forming an imposing pro-
cession which moved slowly to-
ward Frazer Field.
First came the two heralds,
then Oberon and Puck, the bad
fairies, Titania and her attend
ants, the good fairies, the boy
Shakspere and a group of chill
dren; two more heralds, the Nor
ris dancers including six forest
ers, Robin Hood, Little John,
Friar Tuck, six foresters, four
maidens strewing flowers, Maid
Marian, maidens in attendance,
the hobby-horse, and the dragon ;
Shakspere the young man, his
father, Anne Hathaway, and Sus-
anna, Lord Lucy, youths and
maidens with oxen in the midst
two heralds, Shakspere, the play
wright, his actors, Orlando and
Rosalind, Jaques, Touchstone and
Audrey, Duke attended by Celia
Amiens, First Lord, Oliver, Sec
ond Lord; two heralds, foul
gravel strewers, Earl Of South
ampton, with six lords, Chancel
lor, with two attendants, Sir Wal
ter Raleigh, Mistress of the
Wardrobe, Ladies in Waiting, TIVE
pages, Queen Elizabeth, two foot
men, four mounted guard, ladies
of the court, and lords, and ;
group of guests.
Thousands of spectators fol
lowed the procession to Fraze

spell of Imagination for two full
hours.

ring, whereby woe should come to
mortals. The sun frightens the
goblins away, and a band of chill
dren enter singing merrily. They
discover, by the bright green of
the grass, the fairy ring, and
stop their play to wonder at its
meaning. But company OF
milkmaids appear, to whom the
children take their inquiry. "Of a
certain it is a fairy ring" they
tell them, and the children take
care to beware of it. Soon, how
ever, along comes little Will
Shaksperc, declaring if he be af-
frighted at them which he has
never seen he deserves bewitch-
ment. The boy steps boldly into
the ring, only to Immediately fall
under a spell. The children run
hurriedly away, the hobgoblins
return and gloat over their cap
tive, when sweet music is heard,
foretelling the coming of Titania.
The beautiful fairies discover
the boy under the spell; Titania
breaks the enchantment and be-
slows upon the boy the genius of
poetry.
Imagination shifts the scene.
The time is years later, and the
boy Shakspere is grown to early
manhood. 1t is a May morning

ANDERSON AND COOKE
RETURN TO COLLEGE
Accusation Of Cheating Prov
ed False

J. Hartzell Anderson, a Sopho-
more at Delaware, who left col
lege about two weeks ago, resum-
ed his studies on Monday. Alder
sons disappearance, it developed
was due to a report concerning al
legged Irregularities in examina-
tions made by Raymond w. Cooke
during the Latin examination
last February. Anderson, who
stands near the head of his class
was accused of having copied the
questions, and in answer to a rap
at the door, having passed them
out to his fellow-classmates. An
investigation revealed the fact
that the accusation was unfound-
ed, the student at the door having
been a Senior of unquestioned
integrity. The students resented
the action of Cooke, the feeling
growing, in a way that led, on
April 10Th, to a personal encount-
er between Cooke and Anderson
on the campus. Talk of an ar
rest followed, which, it is be-
lieved, led to Alderson,s disap-
pearance. The boy, it has been
learned, has spent the last two
weeks in Baltimore. On Sunday
he returned to Wilmington, in
tending to visit his home, and Sc
cure his clothing during the alb,
sence of the family. He was seen
however, by friends, and persuad.
ed to remain in the city.
The College upon hearing OF
Alderson's whereabouts, imme
diately got into communication
and arranged for his return tt
College. Cooke, whose unpopu
larity had led to his leaving Col
lege, also returned on Monday
The battalion was drawn up fol

army officer, Captain Schindel

EXHIBIT PUPILS WORK
AT GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Dr., Cross Speaks At Meeting

.Dr. Cross Speaks At Meeting
The Parent-Teachers' Associa-
tjon held an interesting meeting
last Thursday in the Grammar
School building, having as the
speaker of the afternoon, DR.. T..
/. Cross, superintendent OF the
public schools of New Castle
county. DR.. Cross congratulated
the school upon the work they are
doing in school gardening, de-
claring this one of the promising
features of modern education.
The speaker commented upon the
statewide organization OF par
ents and teachers and told some
of the ways in which the schools
had been benefited. 1t is planned
working through these organlza-
tons, to inaugurate a campaign
during the next school year for
~ the revival of an interest in
public speaking, and (2) for H.
brary in every school. Mr.. Cross
talk was followed by discussion
on the prospect of music in the
Newark schools. Although no
definite statement was made at
the meeting it is believed prac-
tically certain that this subject
will become a part of the curricu-
lum next September.
Of special interest to those at
tending the meeting was the ex-
hibit of work done by pupils IN
the Grammar School. The ex-
hibit which includes drawings,
,pecimens of written work, and
composition, was very creditable,
and gratifying to everyone. The
drawings from the eighth grade
were especially good. There was
colonial fireplace, showing the

/ chair at the side Of the fire, the
clock and candles on the mante
i hv Warren Kennedy, which Wor
the praise of everyone; the color
/ ed sketch of Shakspere's birth
place by Ethel Robinson, and the
i lighthouse scene by Essie Tweed
which were especially good. Th'
~jXth grade contributed an at
! tr"ctiye collection of drawings o
i the pussy willow, and specimen
q # written work; the fifth, at
rractively colored maps, ant
samples of penmanship; tn
i fourth, brightly colored birds
An especially interesting part o
the exhibit was that prepared b.
the Eighth grade overflow, show
ing the years composition worl
The pupils had illustrated thei
written work with clever littl
pen and ink sketches, whic
made the compositions especial
interesting. This overflow ha
posted also, a series of drawing

which had been prepared by A
