SPAID SORRY THAT
FESS BILL FAILED

Among the many bills which were
shelved to a future session by the late
ly defunct. and not altogether regret
ted Sixty-sixth session of Congress,
was the Fess-Capper bill, which was
framed to initiate a nationwide pro
gram of physical education to give
every boy and girl in the United
states between the ages of six and
eighteen his or her share Of proper
health and bodily efficiency.
Local friends Of education were
deeply interested in this bill, which
carried appropriation Of S1O,OOOOOO
for training and employing teachers Of
physical education. To obtain a FEEDER
al allowance under this law, Delaware
would have to appropriate an amount
equal to the amount received from the
government.
.There is no doubt" said State
Commissioner Of Education Arthur X.
Spaid. 'that in a 'fifty-ffty' PROPOSE
ton like this. bill contemplates, no
state can afford to let slip such an
opportunity. We have already provid-
ed for physical education in the
School Code. The State Board of Ed
ucation is given authority to make
rules and regulations for physical ed
ucatiOn in the schools whenever 1t IS
desired to be done. OF course, an ap-
preparation by the State will be nee
essary.
Il am not in favor of military
training for school children unless it
takes in all, instead Of possibly two
per cent Of the young generation. For
this reason, l would welcome physical
education for Delaware school chill
dren, and am heartily in favor of 1t.
1--WE have already taken up recrea-
tion and athletic education, and May
day sports were undertaken in many
of the rural schools. However, the
health and physical education is not
being carried on with state money at
present. but by various organizations
such as the reconstruction commission,
the Red Cross, and the like.
IF the Fess- -Capper bill shall pass,
it is quite likely that the State Board
will include the cost Of physical edu-
cation in its budget for submission to
the General Assembly"
1t was announced from Washington
that three more states, Kentucky,
Mississippi and Virginia have passed
physical education statutes, making
total Of twenty-five states, including
Delaware. which have made provision
for this type of instruction.

PEcULIARITlES OF TURKEYS
Show the Least intelligence Of Any
Farm Fowl When Young and
the Most When Matured.

Some one said the turkey shows the
least intelligence when small and the
most intelligence after maturity OF
any fowl known. This is true OF all
the farm fowls. The goose and duck
will often 60 some distance from the
poultry range. make a nest, deposit
their eggs, sit and hatch, If undis-
turbed. taking no notice as to whether
being watched by human eyes or not.
The turkey is very cautious. She Will
lead one, if she finds she is being
watched away from the nest or where
she intends making it, often making
nest and sitting down cozily, until her
watcher decides, or is deceived into
thinking she is on the nest, but he
will have to try it over again. After
the watcher has gone away, she leaves
her temporary nest for the true one,
deposits her egg and usually covers
II deeply with leaves or other trash.

ing material in their feed, with the re
suit that they lay many soft-shelled or
thin-shelled eggs. Grit or shell can be
purchased in small quantities at any

THE SIX-YEAR MOLAR

The first permanent teeth to come in
are called the "six-year molars' be-
cause ;hey come III during the sixth
year Of life.
They might also he called the most
important teeth in the mouth.
These teeth begin their growth at
about the fourth nrLth of embryonic
life. so they have a good start by the
tirle a child is born. The roots are NOT
fully grown until the tenth year ana
sometimes later.
There are four Of those teeth-two
dl'stairs upper jaw and two Down
stairs (lower iawl.
These teeth arr of the utmost I'M
porlance as they Tresent a large mas
t'cating surface aEl if prematureiy
loSr. always cause collapse Of the
dental arch and frequently cause the
face to be contracted. To the octho-
dontist Ca dentist vino stralghIenS
teeth they are the kty to the arch.
BY looking At their Occlusion he IS able
to determine if the jaws are in their
proper relation to each other.
They come in just back of the D2bN
teeth and are Frequently mistaken hy
parents. ard sometimes by dentists
(who should know bcrter) for haby
teeth.
The premature loss Of these teeth Is
a calamity to any individual ana they
should be watched with Jealous care.
They come in during the most ire
sponsible Period Of childhood and no
child as that age can be expected To
ray any attention 20 the care OF these
important teeth without the watchfui
guidance Of the parents.
These teeth come in before any OF
the baby teeth are lost and it is fact
that so per cent of the four sixth-year
molars are lost before the age of 10
wears. due to carelessness, ignorance
of the fact that they are permanent
teeth. or that they are mistaken Tor
baby teeth.
There is no possible excuse, no rea-
son under the sun why the baby teeth
or the sixth-year mOlars should be ne
elected.
They are not so easily forgotten
when they are allowed to become jag
ged. broken. decayed and abscessed
lot and are lost through pain and
sleeplessness.
The uncleanliness Of the baby teeth
is surely transferred to the 6-year mo-
lars. and the memory of pain endured
and the physical scars Of neglect VIII
be carried through life.
A child whose mouth is allowed TO
20 TO wreck and ruin through ignor-
ance or neglect on the part Of the par
ents. who are responsible for both MS
physical and mental welfare, mas eV-
cry right to hold them responsible LOT
his suffering.
The baby teeth should remain as
white and sound as little pearls. IL
is absolutely criminal for parents to
neglect the baby teeth. 1t is worse 10
neglect the sixth-year molars.
The last of the baby teeth are not
lost until the tenth or eleventh year
The sixth-year mOlars. or the nrst
of the permanent teeth, have been IN
the mouth four or five years by this
time.
The baby teeth are like flowers IN
your garden. They bloom and give
Won ioy for a time and are gone. Like
flowers they only reach the height oI
their beauty when properly cared Ior'
The baby teeth are replaced by the
permanent teeth, which will remain
with us as long as we live if proper
" cared for. The siX-year molar Is
the first permanent tooth, and is al
ways the Oldest tooth in the mouth

COUNTY SCHOOL ELECTIONS
TO BE HELD SATURDAY

Election of members of the County
Board of Education and trustees Of
the various schools will take place
Saturday. Ordinarily general apathy
has prevailed at these school elections
but more than ordinary interest will
probably be taken in Saturdays cleo
tion. because of new methods for con-
ducfing school elections in Delaware
as an OutgrOwth of the State school
code. Under the code, an entirely new
school board, members of the boards
of education in special school districts
and local boards of trustees, will be
elected. For the convenience and IN
formation of voters a digest OF the
fourteen rules for the guidance OF
Judges of the election. as just an
nounced by the State Board of Educa-
tion. has been summarized as follows
Polls must be kept open from to
4 D. m, and any male voter qualified
TO vote in a general election, or any
woman who can show a receipt for
taxes paid within the last twelve
months, is qualified to vote
The Clerks of the Peace in each
county must furnish the ballots. In
case of absent election officers voters
present may choose three from their
number.
The teacher or principal of the
school lin special districts the super
intendent of schools if present), shall
act as clerk of election. In the absence
of either teacher, principal or super
intendent, the judges must appoint
someone.
Use any convenient receptacle for
the ballots.
At 4 D. m. publicly count the ballots
and enter the result on the certificate
of election returns.
Marking more than three names on
a ballot invalidates it.

BETTER MARKETS. FOR FARMERS

The House of Representatives re-
Gently passed bill introduced by Rep
resentative Andrew J. Nolstead that
world permit farmers, dairymen,
fruitgrowers and ranchmen to com
bine for the collective marketing and
sale of their own produce exempt
from the provisions of the antitrust
laws. The bill is a substitute for 9th
er measures introduced to legalize col
lective bargaining by agriculture pro-
dueers. Control Of the combinations
organized under the bill would be
placed within the jurisdiction of the
Secretary Of Agriculture. The latter
would have authority to sue In a Fed
eral court if the associations did not
comply with orders issued by him. 1t
is expected that the bill would give
farmers and other producers an op-
portunity 10 negotiate fair price for
their products.

WINTER SHELTER FOR GEESE
Fowls Are Very Hardy and Open
Sheds Are Satisfactory for
Cold Weather Season.

Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather, when
omen sheds may be provided. Goslings
are not usually hatched until good
pasture Is available, and need addi-
tional feed only for a few weeks. The
range of pasture used either for gos-
Iings or for geese should be large
enough so that the grass will remain
clean. or the stock should be moved
frequently TO fresh land. CoOps, bar
rels. or some other dry shelter should
be provided for the young goslings.
Geese are very hardy and free from
diseases and insect pests.
