GOOD HANDLING SAVES EGGS
zig Loss Can BE Prevented If Pro-
Queer and Country Merchant
Take Precautions.

tPrepared by the United States Denar+.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Not long ago four men worked half
a day grading current receipts of
eggs as they were received at a citv
market. They candled out one hun
dred dollars worth of rots, spots, and
1ncubated eggs. This loss could so
easily have been prevented if only the
producer and the country merchant
had handled the eggs promptly.
The hen lays fresh egg; the con-
sumner demands fresh egg. Eggs are
a highly perfshable product, and grad
ually deteriorate with age. Heat is
their enemy; cold is their friend. The
shorter the time and the more direct
their route from nest to packing house.
the smaller the opportunity for loss.
The proper handling of eggs is not
One-man job. Many people are con-
cerned in it. Their interests are COM
mon, and mutual understanding and
cooperation between them benefit all
alike.
The farmers part in the general
scheme of good marketing is to bring
good eggs to market. To accomplish
this, he should market his eggs fire.
quently, not let them accumulate.
The dealers job is to keep the eggs
good. His slogan should be "ship
promptly and properly" The sooner
an egg is put under refrigeration and
started for the market, the better it's
quality when it reaches it's final des-
t1natiOn, and the higher it's value. -

CREAM SEPARATOR IS HANDY
Many Of Our Farmers Are NeaIectinq
Important Matter Of Thorough
Separation Of MIX.

Approximately one-half of our farm
ers are still neglecting the important
matter Of thorough separation of the
milk which their herds produce. AS
a result, from 10 to Is per cent Of the
total production Of butterfat is not
made available to the consumer. The
use of the cream separator is worthy
of encouragement as an instrument
capable of increasing the quantity Of
food available for human consumption.

Delaware Exceeds Liberty
Loan Quota by 93,0OO,OOO

In spite of the statewide cpl
demic of influenza, Delaware has
exceeded her quota by 3 million in
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
which closed last Saturday might.
The quota was S16,013,280 and
Delaware has gone beyond the
$4,000, 900 mark with the returns
not fully tabulated.
Each of the three counties went
"over the top" with Sussex report
ing first. She reached and passed
her quota on Thursday the 17th.
Kent reported the highest per
capita response, next to the city
of Wilmington, the incomplete re-
turns showing over S26 for every
resident in the county. Rural New
Castle shows a per capita sub
scription of nearly $50 with re-
turns incomplete owing to the i'll
ness of several of the committee
Wilmington's per capita re-
sponse was S56.
The Women's Committee will re-
ceive credit for half of the States
subscription. They placed mil,
lion as their goal but have already
rassed the 6 million mark.

Tactics of Trench
Warfare Studied
Training Detachment Busy
with Construction Work
Contingent Soon to
Leave Here

A pick and shovel brigade from
the Training Detachment began
the LATTER part of last week the
dlgglng of trenches ON the college
property south of Wolf Hall. Up
rights are being placed this week
and the work of cementing will be
begun in a few days. These
trenches are about 6 feet deep and
Will be used in giving to selected
groups of S. A. T. C. men, practi-
cal experience in up-to-date trench
warfare. Lieutenant Glenn who
has seen active service overseas
has planned the construction work
and will have charge of this new
feature of MILITARY training at
Delaware College.
The uprights will support "dum-
mics" used to represent the
Boches; and the soldiers in train
ing will charge these formidable
enemies across the intervening
mo Mans Land" and at the
trenches themselves.
The members of this Detach-
ment will leave about October 2S,
for various camps throughout the
country and another contingent
will arrive about November /.
Because of health conditions in
Newark, the present contingent
have little CIR no community SER
vice in the way of social life, and
because of the strict quarantine
and the efficient. activities of the
M. P.'s in enforcing camp orders
regulating their appearance on the
streets, their stay in Newark has
been much less pleasant than that
of the first contingent.
Much credit is due them for the
aid given the residents of Newark
during the epidemic, Sergeant
Barcus having saved serious
situation during the ILLNESS of I'm
dertaker R. T. Jones and a number
of those skilled as woodworders,
having relieved what threatened to
be serious difficulty in securing
caskets, by making and finishing
3 or 4 caskets in the Delaware Col
lege workshops.

TEACHERS WORK
ON CENSUS
Make House to House Can
vass of Newark Homes

Teachers in the local schools
were recalled to Newark on Mon
day, and work on the school CEN
sus, requested by the Delaware
State Council of Defense and the
U. S. Bureau of Education, begun.
The town has been divided into
districts, with two teachers as
signed to each district. The pur-
pose of the census is to take an
inventory of the population of the
community under eighteen years
of age, to gain an acquaintance
with the environment of the chill
dren, as the first step necessary in
campaign of school betterment.
The request, coming as it does, at
the beginning of the school year,
when there are many new teachers
IN the schools, unacquainted with
local conditions, and nee essitating
a house to house canvass, affords
splendid opportunity for the es-
Establishment of the cooperation be-
tween school and home so neces-
sary for the child's best develop
lment.
The census is being taken under
! the direction of the State Council
of Defense and the State Board of
Education. The forms have been
furnished by the U. S. Bureau of
Education. The cards will be for
warded to Washington where they
will be tabulated and the results
published by the government.

THE NEW DORMITORY
AT WOMENS COLLEGE
UNOFFICIALLY STYLED SUSSEX HALL
ONE OF THE UNITS OF THE DEVELOP
MENT SCHEME

One Cf the three units that con-
stitute the development plan of the
Women's College of Delaware is
nearly completed. Sussex Hall is
the name unoficially given to this
dormitory because, perhaps, it is
the southernmost of the three.
The contractors confidently ex-
pect that it will be ready for oc-
cupancy in a month or so although
the labor shortage and shipment
delays have hindered the work
again and again.
The general style of the build
ing is typical of the State. Dutch
and English features admirably
combined give dig n1fied, pleasing
appearance to the casual observer.
The small paned windows, the
"broken-backed" English roof, the
inevitable doomer windows and
the story wing are reminiscent of
many old Delaware mansions,
while the spacious double Chin
neys and the many windowed gab-
les are copied doubtless from the
home of some Dutch burgo master.
The spacious rounded steps are
of marble and the somewhat orn-
ate doorway is fanked on each side
by Corinthian column whose
gracefully carved capital is in
