September 8, 1919.
TO County Superintendent;
By provisions of an Act of the
recent General Assembly, appear
ing as Chapter 40 in the printed
Acts of 1919. all public schools in
the State are required to display a
United States flag.
The classification of schools as
ordered by the State Board under
the direction of this Act divides the
institutions into two groups, elemen
tary and high.
The Act specifies that the dimen-
sions of the flag shall not be less
than 8 feet by feet, and the Board
advises that high schools display a
flag of greater size.
Let me ask that you call the at
tention of your school authorities
to the existence of this statute.
Yours very truly,
Albert Williams.

HUNTFOR SLA YERS
OF BILLY DANSEY

StUeater and Cap Found Near

Degenerate

HANfMONTON, n. j., Nov. % UNITED
Press. THE search for Billy Dansey,
2 i-2-year-old perfect baby" who dis
appeared from his home here October 6,
was changed today TO a hunt for his
slayer.
The boys naked skeleton was found
here late yesterday in a swamp three
miles south Of the home Of his father,
Hercules Dansey. His clothes were scat
tered about the vicinity, and officials
expressed the belief he had been the
victim Of a degenerate.
George Eckert, attracted by the bay
ing Of his dog, pushed into a dense
thicket and there found the skeleton,
IS bones stripped by birds and ami
mails. The child's sweater and cap lay
about 80 feet away. Between them and
the skeleton were the child's rOmpers.
It was obviously impossible for the
boy 10 have wandered this far from
his home alone, as the route he must
have followed crossed several high
fences. The definite trail established
by county detectives through testimony
Of several neighbOrs who said they
saw the boy in company with two
strange men, also led TO this vicinity.
Searching parties organized a few min
utes after the boy disappeared, worked
straight eastward instead Of southward
toward the thicket where the skeleton
was discovered.
Countless rumors led to the search
extending as far west as Ohio, and the
boy was reported as having been seen

SOL HIDES PART
OF FACE TODAY

The sun was partially eclipsed this
morning. tn psl y ball was nrst OBJ
scured by the ~ as disc at 7.39 o'clock,
just as most OF Wilmington was get
ting ready for a half-day's work. About
Q o'clock a number OF persons who
hadn't read the newspapers and who
therefore were not In on the secret
that there was a partial eclipse, were
somewhat surprised to see the twilight
appearance. At the height OF the
eclipse half OF the sun was hidden.
The saddest part OF the whole affair
is that much Of the eclipse was in
visible on account OF clouds at the
period Of greatest observation, which
occurred a few minutes past o'clock.
Not until o.45 o'clock was the mighty
orb visible, and at that time a small
portion OF the part nearest the horizon
was seen 10 be missing. The eclipse
ended at 1921 o'clock.
In parts Of Texas and Louisiana the
eclipse was nearly total. only a small
ring OF the sun being visible around the
body OF the moon. At some times
when such an eclipse occurs, the sun
is completely obscured by the disc OF
the moon, on account OF the earth's
satellite being at times nearer the ter
restrial ball and therefore apparently
larger.
