ganizing canning clubs ready to take
care of the fruits and vegetables as
they come in season. Throughout the

this manner made enough money to
pay their way through college. Club
work makes canning a game and all
club members can testify that it adds
interest to learn to can in co-opera-
tion with chums. If there are any
communities where girls desire to or

Enthusiastically OF Mr.. Deputy, recall

GOOD ADVICE TO SCHOOL
CHILDREN OF DELAWARE

Realizing that with the approach of
vacation time. the school children of
the State will have all their time for
recreation and amusement, the edu-
catiOnal committee of the Delaware
Safety Council has issued the follow
ing pertinent advice:
Burns-When playing with fire
works keep a safe distance away from
them when the fuses are lighted. 1t is
sometimes the small fireworks that
cause injuries. If you can have just
as much fun on the 18th of July with
out fireworks it is much safer to let
them alone Don't play with matches.
If you build bon-fires don't build them
on windy days and don't get too close
to them if you have on loose clothing
that might easily catch fire.
Falls-When climbing trees to pick
fruit, climb only where the branches
are strong and where there are many
of them so that you can grab one cas-
lily if you slip. Also choose safe lad
ders 1t is very easy to meet with an
accident playing around a building
that is being built. 1t is much better
to stay away from them. Avoid play
ing on stairways.
Drowning-See that a good swim
mer is nearby when you swim in deep
water. Make sure that the water is
deep enough before you dive. Let
yourself into cold water gradually. 1t
is better to 90 swimming more often
than to stay in too long at one time.
Don't go in swimming until at least
one hour after eating. Let your food I
digest properly and you will run less
chance Of getting cramps" Keep (
away from ponds that nave cold T
springs in them. Don't dare a fellow (
to take a chance in deep water.
Barefeet-Keep broken glas off the I
streets and sidewalks and out Of the
yard. Turn down or remove any pro-
jecting nails you may find and don't
play in places where there may be
nails projecting from loose boards,
etc.
Sunstroke-Keep in the shade as
much as possible and don't play too
hard when it is very hot, or dring ice
wafer when overheated
Firearms-Never point gun at
Yourself or anyone else. Examine the
cartridge chamber to make sure that
guns are uDloaded before leaving
them around.
Railroads-Keep away from rail
road tracks There are much better
ways Of having a god time than play
ing around cars. Always look both
ways before yOu cross railroad tracks.
Streets-Dont be a ''jay-walker' on
city streets. Cross at crossings. Try
to find a vacant lot or playground to ,
play in. 1t is dangerous to play in ,
the street Look both ways before run
ring out into the street.

'OPIUMSMUCCLERS.
 IN P HlLIP' PINES. GROWING COLDER.
Customs Officials Unable To More Than Cheek
 Illegal Traffic.

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 29.-Opium smuggling into the Philippine Islands from China, Japan, and British North Borneo, has grown to such proportions that customs officials of the Philippine govern nent has become alarmed. During the last six months, secret service agents have seized opium valued at approximately $200,000, and they say this is only a small portion of the drug which has been brought into the islands Illegally at the ports of Manila, Iloilo, Cebu, Zam- boanga and Jolo
 Secret service operatives declare they are unable to stop the illegal trc fife in opium, morphine and ether drugs with present facilities at their disposal. A submarine chaser built for the United States government during the war was re- gently brought here on board a transport and turned over to the Philippine government. It is the intention of the customs service to use the speedy craft in patrolling the coast of the island of Luzon northward from Manila Bay as soon as the legislature provides money for it's operation.
 Nearly every vessel arriving from China and Japan is closely watched by customs officials A tug is kept in service constantly to meet these ships off CorregiGor Island, at the ,entrance to Manila Bay, in order to prevent the smugglers from throwing overheard their contraband goods which can be easily picked up by small craft and transported to the mainland.
 While Manila is ffthe most ad- vantageous port at which to carry on the illegal traffic, the vigilance of the officials here has driven many of the smugglers to the southern islands where comparatively little difficulty is experienced in landing the drug. Only a single coast guard cutter, "The Mindoro." patrols the
 
 gon to British North Borneo, from which island the traffic largely or iginates.
 Numerous vintas, small sailing craft, take shelter in the bays and rivers along the North Borneo coast, out of reach of the coast guard cut ter which can not operate within the three mile limit When a fav- orable wind comes and the Min doro'' is out of sight. the vintas with their opium on board, set sail for Jolo or the island of Tawitawi where they land the drug without detection.
 Nearly every Moro on the island of Tawitawi has become rich
