Sl52,OOO FOR HUNGRY TOTS
STATE GIVES LITERALLY IN RESPONSE
TO HOOVER'S APPEAL.

Henry p Scott, chairman of the
joint committee for Delaware of the
Hoover Relief Fund, announces to-
day total pledges and contributions
aggregating about $152,000, or in other
words, the people of the State of Del
aware have agreed to support 1920
of the starving children of Europe
until the next harvest.
The committee desires to express
its grateful appreciation to the sub
scribers for their generous response
to this appeal Delaware has sub
scribed about twice its per capita por-
ton of the $93 100000 required to save
the three and a half million children
. The joint committee felt that the
State should assume the responsible
ity of keeping alive of at least $4,000
children, and that this amount has
been secured notwithstanding the un-
favorable times, is the cause of the
greatest satisfaction and congratula-
tions.
The subscriptions which have car
ried the amount up to $152,0OO in the
last day OF so have come mostly from
Delaware Red Cross branches and
from the Chapter itself, and $213 just
received and reported from Newark.
Subscriptions should still be sent to
James P. Winchester, treasurer, care
of the Wilmington Trust Company.
The committee desires especially to
thank the many people who have la
bored with it to produce these splend-
i'd results.

WEAK BLOOD IS
4 REAL BARRIER
Growing Children Often Need
Guides Pepto-Mangan.

Some children grow too quickly-it
saps their strength. They lapse into
careless, desultory habits, or develop a
shrinking attitude. Their faces look
pinched.
The blood becomes overtaxed by
too rapid growth; and poisons from
the system take the place of strength
giving red corpuscles in the blood.
Red corpuscles are those little parti-
cles that swim in blood and give it its
color Gradually that child loses inter
est in its play.
Poor blood needs the building that
the iron in GUIDES Pepto-Mangan gives
to weakened blood. Guides Pepto-
Mangan enriches the blood by increas-
ing the number of red corpuscles, and
restores the blood by driving out the
poisons When the revived blood gets
to work the appetite becomes what a
growing child's should be. Your drug

COUNTY TEACHERS
HAVE GOOD MEETING
PRIMARY GRADE FROM PAR
ROTT WAS PRESENT. MOVIES
SECURED FOR SCHOOLS.

The white teachers OF Terrell coun-
tv held their monthly meeting at the
court house Saturday. The beginning
was delayed and one number was
omitted. Principal ]. {. Moore, OF
Brentwood. was to have discussed
Some Essentials in School Manage
ment." This will be given at the next
meeting on Saturday, December IOth.
Mrs. E. T. Jordan explained the
circulating library, and outlined plans
that will make it easy for the schools
to improve their reading facilities.
Mrs. w. H. Gurr announced that
any school might have series OF
moving pictures shown at their school
house this week, The pictures are fur
nished free by the State College OF
Agriculture. and cover a variety OF
agricultural subjects. All the open
dates were taken at once.
One OF the most interesting numbers
on the program was a lesson in pri-
mary reading, taught by Miss Flor
ence Cocker, Of Parrot Miss Cookers
first grade came with her, and the
work represented the regular week
day teaching The recitation required
about thirty minutes, and then the
teachers, led by Superintendent Dukes,
entered into an informal discussion OF
the recitation and the way it was CON
Quoted. Miss Coker received the high
est praise for the way she conducted
the work. 1t is safe to say that every
teacher present was benefited by see
ing some one else teach, and the
frank discussion which followed was
both stimulating and inspiring. 1t was
meeting no live teacher could afford
to miss.
An interesting program has been
planned for the next meeting Besides
the paper by Mr.. Moore, Superinten-
dent Dukes will direct a discussion on
the subject, What Is Study? Some
Factors in Study" The time is Satur-
day, Dec. 10th, at 10 a. m, sharp. The
place is the court house. Purpose;
Professional advancement, better
teaching, better trained children and
better schools.
Live teachers are coming, and are
striving for the above ideals. All are
urged to come.

TWELVE STARS IN CECIL B. DE MILES
PRODUCTION "AFFAIRS OF ANATOL'

lied before. The drawing power OF al
most any of the names on the roll has
)een sufficient to awaken the interest
of the discriminating public. Here, for
he first time, they are appearing in a
single production under the direction
of a master producer-Cecil B. De-
Mile.
"The Affairs of Anatol" was written
by Jeanie Macpherson, author OF many
notable Cecil B. DeMille productions.
Her story was suggested by Arthur
Schnitzler's scintillating comedy OF the
same name.
The same quality that is featured in
the cast of principals and in the au-
thorship has been carried through ev-
cry phrase of production work. The
supporting cast includes such capable
actors as Guy Oliver, Charles Ogle,
Clarence Geldart, Maude Wayne, Ruth
Miller, William Boyd, Lucien Little
field and others. The beautiful settings
are the work of Paul Tribe, famous
French artist, designer and decorator

Remarkable Cast Headed by Wallace
Reid, Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dex-

Seen in Superb Picture.
Twelve stellar players and support
ing cast OF unrivalled quality-that's
the record set by Cecil B. DeMille's
latest Paramount masterpiece, "The
Affairs of Anatol,' which will be
shown at the Palace theatre November
18th and 10th The roster reads like
screendoms who's who, The phrase
"all-star cast is much abused one,
but it adequately describes a cast, that
includes Wallace Reid, famous Para
mount star; Gloria Swanson, Elliott
Dexter, Bebe Daniels, Monte Blue,
Wanda Haw1ey, Theodore Roberts,
Agnes Ayres, Theodore Kosloff, Polly
Moran, Raymond Hatton and Julia
Faye.
Nothing like this cast in the way OF
