OFFICERS OF STATE
BOARD REELECTED
New Minimum Salary Law In
terDreted

At a meeting of the State Board
of Education held in Dover last
week officers were reelected as
follows: President, C. j. Scott !;
vice-president, Frederick Brady !;
secretary, Albert Worth.
The State Board has received re-
ports from fifteen high schools
and twelve express a willingness
to use funds from the Smith
Hughes Federal appropriation for
some form of industrial or agri-
cultural education. The special
committee expects to have its plan
for the use Of these funds ready to
report to the State Board soon.
The printing of the standardized
ton requirements is now under
way. The printed forms and
blanks will be ready for distribu-
ton soon. The State Board has
authorized the printing and distri-
button of blank form for use in
Keeping school tax accounts in
school districts.
The State Commissioner of Ed
ucation reported to the State
Board his activities for the month
of May, just passed, as follows:
Parent-Teachers' meetings ad-
dressed, 5; days spent in office
work, 10; days spent in attending
State Board meetings, /; COM
mencements addressed, 4; dedica-
lions, l; committee meetings at

work now under way in the office
of the commissioner of education
is his account of -Four Years of

suction, comes down in great force
from two sides, for perhaps a
minute. This is then turned off
and two very strong sprays of
clear water come from the top,
drenching the dishes. Always the
water is of scalding temperature.
Adjoining the dish washer, in the
rear of the glassware table, is a
great sink, with three spigots,-
for luke warm, boiling soapy, and
boiling clear water. Beyond, there
is vegetable sink, and also a
third, the chefs sink. In the CEN
ter of the room is large plate
warmer, which will hold, at one
time all the dishes. There are
also three urns, one of twelve gal
Ion capacity for hot water, and
two, eight gallons each, for tea, cof-
fee, or cocoa. Beneath is a steam
cupboard for the cups. In front
of the urns is table where the
saucers are placed in readiness for
quick service.
The cooking department is
equipped with French range,
with three ovens and three fire
boxes. Overhead and running the
length of the stove is hood, at
the end of which is an electric fan,
to carry off all odors of cooking,
by way of a pipe connected with
the flue. Under the hood there is
also a charcoal broiler, and huge
soup kettle. The chef works at
steel table under which there are
steam coils. A wide wooden board
protects the worker from the heat.
Adjoining this is the "Bain
Marie" French continuance by
which the food stands in closed
porcelain vessels, dipped deep in
boiling water, to keep it as though
lust cooked during the entire
period of the meal. Near the stove
is hoist for coal and ashes, and
also a separate waiter for food
from the service room in the base
ment.
On the ground floor, a service
yard adjoins the lane leading from
North College Avenue. Within is
the butcher shop, equipped with
large built-in refrigerator. with
three distinct compartments, the
doors Of which open on alternate
sides, making the boxes non-com-
municating and preventing any
possibility Of OdOrs or tastes. There
IS also separate fish box, a fish
block. and a meat block. Adioin-
ing this room is a store-room and
the bake shop. The latter will be
in charge of two women. There
is large proofing oven. the bak-
ing oven lined with tile and equip
ped with electric light, dough
mixer, and a cake mixer. Adioin-
ing this is the ice cream depart
ment, containing an ice crusher
and the freezer, operated by
steam.
A chef from New York engaged
by Miss Caldwell, will arrive this
week; there will be in the entire
force, fourteen men and women.
This section of the new build
ing was first used on Monday of
last week when DR.. and Mrs.
Mitchell received in the Trophy
Hall, in honor of the graduating
class of Delaware College. The
alumni reunion was held in the
large dining hall last Tuesday, and
luncheon was served to alumni and
friends on Wednesday. Students
at the Summer School will pay for
rooms in the college buildings and

ment has ordered large editions of
Farmers Bulletin SOS, Corn Meal
AS Food and Ways of Using It,
which will be sent on request to
all who apply for it. This bull
letin shows that corn-meal dishes
can be made to take the place of
those made of wheat, and supplies
more than so tested recipes for it's
use for breakfast, luncheon, and
dinner.
Corn, a great natural breadstuff
Of this country, the department
specialists point out, has not been
used for human food nearly as
much as it's valuable nutritive
qualities warrant. This is due
largely to the fact that many per-
sons with wheat-using habit
never have taken the pains to
learn to use corn. There is no i'm
portant dietic difference between
corn and wheat as sources of BODY
fuel. Bread is convenient as a
source of starch and protein, but
in the ordinary mixed diet it
makes little difference whether
one gets the required cereal ration
in the form of raised or light
bread, mixed bread or biscuits, or
as mush, hominy grits, or desserts.
To those who wish to try wheat
less meals, the department sug-
gests the following:
For a Wheatless Breakfast or
Dinner.
AS a substitute for wheat break
fast foods, try white or yellow
corn meal or hominy grits, served
with cream and sugar, butter,
strip, or fresh or dried fruit.
AS a substitute for wheat bis
cults, rolls, or toast, the house
wife can employ a dozen different
forms of corn bread, such as hoe
cake, dodgers, soft or spoon corn
bread, hominy bread, Zuni Indian
bread, etc.
Fried corn-meal mush, fried
hominy, or corn-meal pancakes,
made with very little wheat flour,
will be found a pleasing variation
from wheat cakes.
Corn-meal Goldfish cakes, corn
meal scrapple, corn-meal croqu-
cites, corn meal or hominy cooked
with meat, fish, cheese, eggs, or
milk, will supply norishing dishes
for the hearty courses.
Hominy grits and coarse hominy
sometimes called samp) may be
boiled and used like macaroni or
other wheat pastes to serve as side
dishes with meat.
For dessert, Indian pudding.

VOTERS OF FULTON
. SOLVE BIG PROBLEM

Fulton voters have determined to
take two bites of cherry by giving
the candidates for nomination at the
August primary the chance of divid-
ing among themselves, so that the
sovereigns may be given larger doses
Of oratory.
Heretofore the meetings have been
crowded with candidates. Speeches
have necessarily been limited to few
minutes each. and no one candidate
with ideas in his head. has been able
to expound them. So it was up to
the voters of Fulton to solve the
problem. giving both the candidate
and the voter the best of 1t.
Instead of having all the candidates
appear upon the same night, the
Fultonese will hear the Legislative
candidates tell their tales tonight at
Mechanics hall. Williamsburg avenue
and Louisiana street, and tomorrow
night they will pay their respects to
the candidates for municipal ofYices. -~
