finding some basis of co-operation.
At the close of Office hours today I
have had neither formal nor informal
word from you or any member of the
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton.
For the past seven weeks the Del
aware School Auxiliary Association
has tried and tried vainly to obtain
some formal consent from the state
department for us to cooperate in
turthering the educational interests
of the state. We have been subjected
not only to delay but to humiliation,
until our patience is exhausted. We
have offered to do certain things for
your board and for the rural schools
of Delaware, and your board has
made no response. In the meantime
we are carrying heavy overhead
charges and thus wasting some of the
funds which Mr.. Pierre S. du Pont
placed in our keeping for the purpose
of providing better educational facili-
ties for the school children of Della
ware. AS the executive officer and
President Of the Delaware School
Auxiliary | feel that it would be
morally wrong as being extremely
bad business for us to continue this
policy any longer.
Permit me to enumerate:
l. More than a month ago we
offered to build rural schools to the
value of approximately 100000 and
present them when completed and
equipped to the State Department
and certain special school districts.
In reply to this offer you have thus
far given tardy consent to our
building three or four small schools.

SOMERS POINT FIRM
FOR ONE PIECE GARB
Mrs. Chenoweth Denies She
Will Lead Fight for Long
Skirt and Stockings.

ArLANTIc CrTy, June 6.-There is to
be no opposition TO one piece bathing
suits for women at Somers Point beach
in spite OF reports 10 the contrary con-
tanned in dispatches sent from there
yesterday. Tonight it became evi-
dent that while Somers Point received
lot of advertising through the report
of a controversy in which Mayor Robert
Crissey Of that place was leading the
one piece suit advocates against the
advocates of more modest attire, nothing
really had happened. Mrs. Mary North
Chenoweth, president Of the Women's
Republican League, who was quoted as
saying she would lead the fight for long
skirts and stockings, repudiated the in
terview and announced herself favorable
to the modern beach dress.
Mrs. Chenoweth also stated that in
her opinion the opposition to the one
piece suit is being kept alive by bath
house owners who have hundreds of
skirted suits in stock and therefore want
to wait until they are worn out before
introducing something new.
Somers Point residents were reported
tonight as still laughing over the COM
motion stirred UP by the announcements
that their beach was jammed with scan
tily clad women and all the men folk
who could get away from home. They
said the water was so cold Sunday that
only two persons. a man and wife, dared
try out the surf.
