Plan
IN 0NESCHO0L
Education Board Must Drop
Two Others, Because of
State Money Cut
CITY'S PORTION is
DECREASED S58,OOo

Members OF the Board of Educa-
ton at a special meeting yesterday
afternoon, received Official informa-
ton from the State Board OF Edu-
cation relative TO the amount Of
money they could expect as an ap-
preparation from that body. John
Shilling. who worked on the budget
for the state Board. was present
ana informed the board that the ap-
preparation 70 Wilmington schools
had been reduced s5s.O00.
After receiving this Information
the board went on record as favor
ing establishment Of the platoon
system in but one school. No. 8. The
plans prepared for such system IN
Schools Nos 2 and % were aban-
doned, as It was felt that the board
would not have sufficient money to
operate the platoon system IN more
than one school.
Il was evident at the meeting that
all of the members favored the pla-
toon plan. Shermer H. Stradley,
VI AAAt AAAhILb o.
expressed himself IN favor OF the
plan, but he moved that II be-
dropped at this time insofar as n
concerned two of the schools be-
cause the board had no guarantees
tflzf n vou9d have shs funds cuy
the work.
The system will be placed In oper-
ne "a J1A
tions bave already been made 20
accommodate the new plan.
Mr.. Shilling explained that tho
board might have more money than
the ss75,000 which has been ap-
proxirnately guaranteed since Il
could receive from. the State Board
the cost of each high school
pupil above 800. and also on extra
teachers But etnce THE year the cost
OF each high school pupil has been !
less than 800 and since the board |
has not guaranteed that enough ex-
ira teachers will be needed 10 make |
MP the difference, it cannot be sure |
OF receiving this extra money.
The budget, as Il now stands, |
amounts to 100000 from the State |
Board and 100000 from the city, |
with an approximate SIS, 900 added. /
This would make ss75.oo0. OF whicn
s8S5;oC0 wuuid go for teachers sal

Last Year mo stxts Board gave
Wilmington $4,000 for upkeep such
a. beat tight. fuel. repairs, etc This
yesr Il WIZ recstve $4,000, a reduo-
tfon Of $4,000 The exruse offered
for tnts Is that ne State Board did
not f1Hye the necessary money and
that Il had 10 divide what II had
with all the schools OF the State.
Last year the cost of upkeep in
The schools was ss2, 600. Eliwood
Souder. President OF the Board, ex-
pressed mis- dispieasure chat the fact
hat the platoon system could not be
because OF lack OF funds.
When someone suggested a reduction
n the teachers salaries as a means
of saving money. Bfr. Souder said
hat that was unthinkable.
Remember" said he" that they
,sn go to other states and get bigger
'aiaries. We must keep up tho stan
lard OF our teachers"
Mr.. Souder said that the board
would not think OF saving money
IN this way at the present time.
The board adjourned TO meet J

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I ann married woman and have been mar ried six years this month. I have a good husband who works every day and a very nice home for any poor working people.
 There is a man am fond of. He has a big car and comes to our house and takes me out. His wife is dead. Do you think I am doing right. I am fond of clothes and my husband is not, He doesn't want to go any place and says he is tired. He thinks I ought to stay home just be- cause he won't go. This man wants my husband and me to work for him. Do you think We ought to?
 MUTT.
 Clothes and good times do not guarantee contentment and happi- ness. The fact that you have an at traotive home and a faithful, hard working husband should mean more to you. There are ways you can have a good time during the day, aside from going out with the other man in his car. because that is dan gerous. I would advise you to stop seeing him because it is not fair to your husband and it may lead you to great unhappiness.
 I would not advise you to work for the other man. Your huband is blessed with a job at present and it is better that he should keep it.
 Dear Hrs. Thompson: Last evening a friend invited me to a party at her home in the country. She told me to bring my chu4ns with me. It was impossible to go. Even if my chu1ns had wanted to go they wouldn't because they are not ac- uuainted with this friend. Besides we had no way of getting there, as none of my chums have a car Do you think she wanted me to come very much?
 Not long ago she gave me an in-

vitation to a party which for reasons I could not attend. Later she again invited me to come out one Sunday and again T couldn't.
 I would like to invite her in turn. but what to do? Can you thing of anything I can give invitations to?
 BETTY JANE.
 Invite the girl to come and spend a weekend with you. It is not nec- essary to have an exciting means of entertainment. Invite some of your other friends in for the evening and take her to the picture show. You and she could take walks together, make candy, read, or just talk Ca thing which most young girls enjoy).
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: What is your opinion of girls wearing short dresses? ] have a girl friend who wears dresses that are Scandalous When T try to tell her how they look she only laughs and says they look good. THANK YOU.
 My advise to you is to look to your own method of dress and not give so much thought to the scandalous ap- pearance of some one else. Dresses can be too short, of course. Make your own whatever length you choose and give other people the same priv ilege.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of IT and I go with a fellow. He is very nice looking and I think the world of him. He comes to see me three times a. week, but he goes to see other girls the nights he doesn't come to see me. I could have other boys come, but think too much If this one. Do you think it is ali right for him to go to see other girls? We are not engaged? JEFF.
 Yes, it is all right for the boy to go to see other girls. He regards you as a friend and does not expect you to look for anything deeper than friendship.

WHEN YOu DANCE

The one time when a young girl wants to look her best is when she dances I know because dozens of them write to me a few weeks before some special dance is contemplated, somewhow thinking that they can make themselves quite beautiful in that short space of time. They can't, of course. and I hate to teN them so, so I tell them instead all the little things that can be done to improve their appearance.
 First of all the dance frock itself Is always becoming. It is more be- coming to a young girl than any of her other dresses simply because it is soft and silky. and, by its very friv- olity, sets off the young face and fig ure. Secondly, and perhaps after all this is most important, the mere fact that the girl is going to dance makes her eyes sparkle and cheeks flush becomingly.
 So much for essentials. Now there are what I might call last minute beauttfers. The hair should be shanpooed and waved. if it looks were waved, one or two days before the dance. This is so most of the curl vii come out and only a soft, unobtrusive wave left. Then when the hair is softly conibed it will be sure to look it's best.
 IT the nails are manicured the day or the dance the hands will look nice If the elbows are sharp or dark in color they should be treated with cold cream for few days before the dance. When you dress use vanish ing cream on them under the powder. R. M. R.:-Hair that Is inclined to be dry should not be washed oft ener than once in three weeks. If your hair is thin your scalp needs some treatment such as a daily mas sage, or the massage and tonic, three times each week.
 Jane:-The constant use of a fine toother comb would be very irritating to the scalp and the dried particles of the white of egg you suggest will likely cause the hair to break by reason of the friction. A dry sham poo occasionally will be a beteer way of cleansing the hair when you do not have time for the washing Peggy:-The ca11us spots that
