SPECIAL CR0OP
 TOSETTLE CASES

The Federal Board for Vocational Education, through it's District Voca- tional Officer, William A Clark of New York City, has assigned Spe- cial group of seven men in order to meet every disabled soldier, sailor and marine, whose case has not been set tied to date. Special letters are go- ing forth to every disabled soldier with whom the board has already estab- lished a contract On receipt of an- swers to these special letters, the board will issue transportation to the point designated by the soldier. The board will take care of each disabled soldier with meal and lodging re- quests so that the disabled soldier will be under no expense to himself.
 It is therefore important that this group meet every man whose case has not been settled, and it is requested that each disabled soldier who does not receive a letter write immediately to the Federal Board for Vocational Education, 23 West 43d Street, New York city, so that we can issue transportation to have him meet this special group. District No. 2, with headquarters in New York, comprises the States of New York, New Jersey and Connec- ticut. To date, over 5000 men have been placed in training in this dis trict and are learning a vocation which will enable the disabled sol | dier to compete successfully, in spite of his disa bility, with the normal man in his chosen occupation. If a
 man received an injury or his disa- bility was aggravated while in the
 service of Uncle Sam, during the re- | cent World War, and this injury pre-
 vents his returning to his former oc. cupation. then the Federal Board vii | train this man in a new occupation if necessary, or will give him addf
 tionaI training in his old occupation
 so that he can develop a specially ant i thus overcome his handicap.
 While undergoing this training
 Uncle Sam not only takes care of tn
 cost of tuition, books, supplies, trav
 cling expenses, but also pays to 1 single man $50 per month for main tenance allowances being $50 pc month If the man were disabled l
 is his duty to get in touch with tht
 special group in order to get quic
 action on his case.
 Under another section of the law the Federal Board will offer to ever
 man who is receiving compensate
 from the Bureau of War Risk Insur
 ance, courses to assist the man to i'm
 prove his position. These courses, ar | however, offered without mainter l ance pay, as it is presumed that tn , mans disability does not interfei . with his return to his former occr V patton. Thus it will be seen that e' S cry man receiving compensation ma s by his own initiative, and with tf f aid of the Federal Board, tmpro' ,. himself in his chosen vocation. , Bridgeport will be one of the eel

DELAWARE FARM
ERS TO RECEIVE
GOLD MEDALS AND
CASH PRIZES
State Board of Agricultur.
Evolves Plan to Increase
Corn Production

corn per acre this year. TbsSa
medals are in addition to the vsS', se
liberal cash prizes. A special onis

To secure these prizes tbe
farmer should have a well bred
variety of corn, should prepare his
ground carefully and make It for
tile; should give thorough and
frequent cultivation, should secure
a regular stand of corn and should
plant close enough to have about
nine thousand stalks to the acre,
The corn may be planted in hills
with two or three stalks each, or
in drills.

Letter To The Post
Newark, Del, May 3, 1920.

Newark, DEL, May b 1920.
Editor Newark Post.
Dear Sir:-Will you kindly permit
me, through the columns of you
paper, to call attention to a matter
which causes considerable annoyance
to residents of Academy street?
For some, time rubbish from the
Armory, the aftermath of dances,
carnivals and other festivities, is
swept out at the side door and left
in the rear of the building to. be dis
tributed by playful breezes all over
the neighborhood. Now the neighbor
hood objects strongly to the necessity
of such frequent cleanup campaigns

Attendance Increased Through
New system

Miss Ruth Jones, County At
tendance Officer, gave an illumin-
ating report Of her work in the
county. She defined the duties of
her Office as being those of a social
worker or adjuster rather than of
an "officer," a term to which much
objection has been raised. Resort
to the law to compel school attend
ance, is not the method adopted in
progressive states, she said, but
rather a system of education to
show the value of school attend
ance.
She lauded Delaware's foresight
in planning for a 180 day term and
told of the increase in percentage
of attendance under the new sys-
tenn.
Following Miss Jones' report,
the Commis ssion, the County school
officials, and several invited guests
had luncheon at the Commons.
Supervisors Report Work Ac-
cOmplished
Superintendent Jump told at the
afternoon meeting, of conferences
| between school officials and teach,
ers'; and Of improved con ditions
: .s1aer tti2 new system Miss Ruby
Miller, Primary Supervisor, made
a detailed report of work accom-
plished during the year and the
varied duties of a supervisors
office in helping teachers and in
standardizing courses of instruc.
tion.
Citizens Have Chance At Code
In the Npen meeting R. G. Buck.
ingham voiced the opinion that the
Code had not had fair trial anG
approved Governor Townsend's
suggestion that the state give
financial aid from the genera,
fund.
Arn0h Naudaln objected to fX
ing the minimum age for teachers
at 20; to transporting country
children into the towns and to the
fact that the increased tax rate
this year did not result in better
ment of the school in his district
Superintendent Jump made {
plea that better provision be made
for the teacher who has giver
years of service in the schools.
The members of the Commission
present, Senators, Handy, Bennett
Hollett, and Richards, speaker
Alexander P. Corbit of the Hous'
and Pierre S. DUPONT of the Boart
of Education, asked question
freely of the county officials ant

FEW CITIZENS AT
TEND HEARINGS FOR
CODE REVISION
Continued from Page y

Immediately he replied that in his
opinion, it would be we'll to make
out a budget and after determin-
ing the immediate needs, plan the
issue accordingly. Action of this
sort should be taken, he thought,
during the special session, since
local communities Claymont, and
Newark for example are contem-
plating local bond issues, whereas
a state bond issue would meet the
situation more justly.
The Commission was evidently
much impressed with the sugges-
tions of Mr.. Scott and questioned
him freely concerning it.
ClaymOnt Delegation Criticizes
Tax Collection
The School Board from Clay
mont Special District was present
to suggest that some steps be TAX
en- to enforce collection of capita
tion and property tax and to in
sure a more thSS;;1s5 .S; s5,.sn ,..-..as. VI
UaxaD1es. They reported $8,667 .06
still uncollected in Claymont dis
trict. Burdening local boards. with
the duty of making the poll lists
was one of the suggestions offered.
A protest against enforced study
of agriculture and expense of
equipping an agricultural high
school in theirs, an industrial dis
trict was also issued by the Board.
A suggestion to make this optional
was voiced by a member of the
Commission.
Pleads For More Direct Control
BY County and Local Boards
George L. Medill, representing
the County Board of Education
made a plea for more direct con-
troll Of finances by the County
Board and some provision for
better cooperation with the Coun-
ty Treasurer. Superintendent
Jump also discussed the handicap
resulting from this lack of coop
Grafton.
More power in the selection of
teachers and in the matter of con-
struction was also urged by Mr..
Medill for district boards.
A suggestion was also made
that candidates for members of
the school boards in Special Dis
tricts be required to file their
names a reasonable length of time
before election, and that such dis
tricts may be abandoned without
opprobrium, if desired.
Reports On Transportation
System
Upon the request Of Pierre S
dupont, Superintendent jump
made an interesting report of the
transportation system in the coun.
ty.
Four buses are in operation, he
said, and the testimony of parents
teachers, and bus drivers is that
the work is eminently satisfactory
He had questioned the parents
and fully 900 of these are pleas
} ed with the service. The plan Of
. paying the parent zoe a day fol
transportation beyond the 21!
mile limit where a bus is not op
Grating, has also proved popular
The bus routes, he said, are care
fully mapped out and in no in
! stance does a student have to wall
over 400 yards. The consolidation
! at Middletown has by actual cal
. culation, saved money. The pa
irons are we'll pleased and A of the

,CAMP GROUND SANITATION

The proper sanitation of the camp
grounds has been a problem since
men first congregated for religious
service says the Georgia State Board
of Health. The earliest mention of
such sanitation is in the twenty
third chapter of Deuteronomy, 18th
and 18th verses where Moses charged
the Israelites as follows: "Thou
shalt have a place also without
camp, whittier thou shalt go forth
abroad;
And thou shalt have a paddle upon
thy weapon; and it shall be when
thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou
shalt dig Herewith and shalt turn
back and cover that which cometh
from thee"
If this Mosaic law was followed
today there would be less typhoid
fever and dysentery following the
wake of protracted meetings.
A camp ground is generally select
ed near a stream of pure water and
many people gather at the site, live
in tents or hastily constructed cab
ms and sanitary arrangements ale
of the sketchiest nature. After a
week or ten days camp is broken,
leaving the ground Uttered with
debris and the erstwhile pure water
polluted at it's source, water which
is perhaps the only drinking supply
for a dozen families.
1t would seem that if cleanliness
is next to goodness, godly people
would pay some attention to Ice Jlng
camp grounds in as fair condition as
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-08-08

they found them.
Sanitation may be defined as get
ting clean and keeping clean. The
dirt with which the sanitarian IS
concerned Is dangerous dirt" and
Dangerous dirt" is the waste mat
ter of the human body.
Dirt is earth out of place. The
proper place for human excremenE
is burial in the ground as advised
by Nose four thousand years ago.
The improper place for human waste
is on the surface of the earth where
flies can carry infection to food, and
in running streams which may be
used for drinking purposes.
Typhoid germs which may come
from a person before he realizes MS
illness take three weeks to incubate
before developing a new case.
Frequently therefore the camp has
moved before the new typhoid
breaks out and the patient wonders
where he contracted the disease. No
camp meeting should be permitted
by health authorities until some ar
rangement for the safe disposal of
human excreta has been provided.
In most instances where the camp
is but temporary pit latrines are
sufficient but certainly in this day
and time one should have more ccG-
sideratioq for the lives of others
than to knowingly place those lives
in jeopardy, which is what is being
done where no provision is made for
.,urvirg this dangerous DIRT"

HAY FEVER, ASTHMA, HIVES,

Z l..
Protein is known as the building
or repair material in our diet, and
it is found in large proportion IN
such foods as meat, fish, fowl and
eggs.
Protein may gain access to the
body in other ways than by 1000
for example, by inhalation, as IN
the case of hay fever and some forms
of asthma, through the skin, as is
forms of eczema, and by bacterial
infection, as seems to be the case
in a number of obscure disorders,
The unfavorable reaction may take
the form of hay fever, asthma, &c
zema, urticaria (hives) and other
skin affections, acute and chrome
digestive disturbances, and perhaps
in certain forms of periodic head
aches, various vague nervous dis
turbances, and in ,albiminurla not
due to some other cause.
Proteins ale usually broken up by
processes of digestion and their con-
stituent parts absorbed by the body
Particular parts or tissues OF the
body are usually predomlnant!y
sensitive to given protein
in given individual. For
example any person may de-
velop asthma from wheat, while
another individual may have eczema
from the same cause. The we'll
known fact that certain individuals
have an attack of urticaria (hives)
from eating strawberries or lob
sters, is an example of protein SEN
Situation.
The liability of becoming sensl-
tive to proteins is to large extent
a hereditary trait. Not all individ-
uals are subject to this possibility.

BY o. B. JOYFUL.


One of the things everybody
should be fondest of, is the art Of
making a friend Tor even a foe-if
he has a sore jaw laugh.
Noah, or Nero, or some such, once
said that nothing is new. That's why
somebody always says latter you've
told a crowd your latest joke), ~ es,
that is FUNNY heard it last week"
But, nevertheless, why give up try
ing?
If you've got pet purp, try any
one of these admitted jokes on nm
and if he laughs, they are funny.
Joke No. You say: "Have you
heard about the girl who swallowed
chunk of soap?"
A kind friend is supposed to an
swer, mo, what about her?''
Then you sing, "She's forever
blowing bubbles"
CHATS a funny one')
Joke No. First you cough
heartily. Then a friend will natur,
ally say, 81 see you have a cold.
You answer, Eyes, terrible one.
Then friend friend will ask: What
do you do for your cold?" And you
answer, Cough"
(Not Quite so funny as the first
one, but yet funnyO
Joke No. 3-You breeze up to a
friend with a mess of perfume on
YOUR lapel. Friend will say: Gosh,
do YOU use perfume?" You say
Sure" Then the other will ask
'What kind?' And you answer
apple sauce"
tThat's not so much of joke as
it is a funny remark, see?)
Joke No. 4-(First join the traffic
souad-then try this) Stand by your
semaphore, just waiting for some
body to breeze up and ask, Where
can | get a carr" Then you wlttlly
say. Right in the back of the neck
if YOU don't get off the track"
P. S.-After telling your purp
these Jokes, ask Central the num-
Der of the health department. Then
when you get a reply, tell your,
health officer to send up the dead
wagon-your dog has died from
laughing.
Or, if it wasn't that serious, send
for a doctor and explain that the
houn' has split his sides.
