FINE FEATHERS" A
PULSATING DRAMA

"Fine Feathers" the Metro all
star production announced for

particularly notable and deserving
of attention in the fact that 1t was

KEEPING STATE
COWS HEALTHY
200 Delaware Herds Are
Found Free Of Tuber-
culoSiS
RANKS HIGH IN
STOCK TESTING

According TO reports just received
by the State Board Of Health. Della
ware is making more progress in
making its dairy herds free from
tuberculosis than most other states.
Notwithstanding the small size Of
the State, IL had. on February J..
more herds that were certified by
the State and Federal authorities as
free from tuberculosis than New
Jersey. Washington, South Dakota
Louisiana. Arkansas. Connecticut.
Texas. Massachusetts, and d other
states. Regardless Of size. only TWEEN
ty-seven other states had more
herds that were free from this dis
ease.
on February 200 other herds
had been tested once and found 20
be free from tuberculosis. These
herds cannot he certified until they
have passed second test. Only 20
other states have as many herds
awaiting certihcation. Delaware is
more progressive along this line than
the states Of Texas. Massachusetts,.
Connecticut and New Jersey.
There is every reason 10 believe
that within a year Delaware will
have more tuberculosis-free herds in
proportion TO It's size than any other
state in the Union. The value OF
this work to the State from both the
economic and health standpoints is
inestimable: from the economic
standpoint owing TO the increased
value Of the herds and the protec-
tion Of well cows against infection;
from the health standpoint owing TO
the protection of the children against
the danger Of tuberculosis from the
use Of infected milk.

them to service more quickly.
ITO summarize:
"The situation confronting the
Pennsylvania Railroad, as we'll as
practically every other railroad on
March 1st. was one OF abnormal
business demands upon its transport
alton and an abnormal percentage OF
bad order equipment on its lines.
Secondly. the business OF the
country demanded that the work be
done at the earliest possible moment
and the Pennsylvania obtained the
best terms possible on work it had
to have done outside.
Finally. aside from the facts of
the case itself. the records OF per-
formance Of the railroad in meet
ing this situation fully warrant and
justify the steps taken 10 meet IL.
THE average number OF bad order
freight cars. which was 25,5O0 daily
in March, was reduced to 1O,744 in
December. The records OF locomo-
tive repairs in the Gompanys own
shops show that the number OF To-
comotives requiring heavy repairs.
which were turned out for service
each month, since March, was as
follows: March 5O2; April sos: May
$50; June 543; July 556; August
$50; September 5O2; October 527;
November 462: December 434."
