ATHLETES
TRY OUT FOR
TRACK MEET
Four of the Academy
Boys Will Go to
Middlebury

The Seniors had everything their
own, way in the Academy inter-
class track meet Monday afternoon.
Some excellent records were made
IN the various field events, but a
slow track and a stiff wind and
little training played havoc with
the time for most of the races.
McBrain's work with the weights
should be specially noticed; ne won
both events by a wide margin. His
heave of 95 feet, 3 inches, in the
discus contest was beautiful. This
is as good as many small college
records. Darling with no previous
practice cut loose with mighty
leap in the broad jump, 18 feet, 10
inches, is worthy of notice under
the circumstances.
In the races the only creditable
performance was in the 100 yard
dash, Hovey winning a close race
in II and one fifth seconds.

SEC. BLACK GETS
REPORT OF AUTO RACE

MONTPELIER, May 9-Sec-
retary of State Harry A. Black is
investigating report from G. W.
Groom, assistant superintendent
of the Central Vermont railroad,
that Ford car with the registra-
ton number 1853 passed over a
grade crossing between Sheldon
Springs and Sheldon Junction on
May 5, directly ahead of a south
bound extra freight train and mar
rowly escaped being struck. The
owner of the car carrying this
number is Jack Ryea of Enosburg
Falls, according to the records of
the secretary of States office. The
automobile had been driving on
road parallel to the tracks foI
some distance, and was within 200
feet of the train for a half a mile,
so it is not thought possible that
the driver failed to see the train.

Hip-POcket Stuff a Fad
So far as the hip-pocket brigade is
concerned, the gentry who like to ex-
hibit booze to prove their daredevil
try, proponents Of the prohibition law
feel that as soon as the haberdashers,
from whom most Of these cut-ups buy
their hip TASKS, devise some new form
of pink or baby blue necktie they will
forget all about violating the Volstead
act in their rush to take UP the newer
fad. And somewhat the same view is
taken of the noisy private stock
element.
The present horde of bootleggers,
however, foreigners and native apach-
es, are those who are peddling the
stuff for the money that is in it,
among the rich and the poor, and they
are certain to stick just as long as
they can figure out that they are max
ing a profit when they deduct from
their gross earnings their operating
costs, among which they include Jail
sentences and fines.
Deportation Suggested
Among advocates of rigil law en-
forcement, a feeling is growing that
in order to establish respect for the
law among the foreign element it
will be necessary ultimately to make
violation of the prohibition act one of
the reasons for deportation.

GOOD ATTENDANCE IN SUSSEX
SCHOOLS
Big Improvement Reported in the
Western Section of the County.


Perhaps at no time in the history Of
Sussex county has there been such
keen interest shown in school attend
ance as is being demonstrated at the
present time in the schools of western
Sussex. Mrs. Mabel Riggin, visiting
teacher of western Sussex, has made
a special drive in the work Of attend
ance for the month Of November, and
after tabulating reports, as filed by
the teachers, expresses herself as feel
ing that western Sussex is well up in
the professional line of boys and girls
who are receiving awards from the
Service Citizens for perfect and good
attendance.
Out of rs schools in her district
Mrs. Riggin reports that 81 made a
percentage of attendance of more
than 80, and of the remaining 20
schools there were only five which
made a percentage less than 80 and
the low percentage of attendance in
these five schools was due to a very
great extent to sickness.
Mrs. Riggin is most sanguine as re-
CARDS attendance work, as she finds
nher visits to the schools and the
homes there is a pronounced absence
of indifference among the parents as
we'll as the children, which has al
ways prevailed in Delaware.
Enrolled in the schools of western
Sussex are 1928 boys and girls. Out
of this number for the month of No
Vember, 1859 were awarded prizes for
perfect attendance, and 922 for good
attendance. Following is list Of the
schools on the western side of the
county which made above 80 per cent
in attendance:

FISH COMMISSION OF TWO
STATES COMPILE LAWS
Jersey and Delaware Legislatures to
on Concurrent Proposed Bills.


After two years of labor and many
conferences, the two commissions, ap-
pointed in compliance with acts pass
ed by the Delaware and New Jersey
legislatures creating them to compile
satisfactory net fishing laws for the
Delaware River, have practically COM
pleted their work. A rough draft has
been submitted to their attorneys for
drawing into suitable bills. The re-
vised fishing laws will be list Of con-
current sections providing a uniform
law, to eliminate the much litigation
of former years, when each State had
separate laws.
The bills when drafted, while elm
mating the many controversies, will
conform also to the federal fishing
laws, and thereby avoid the many con-
fusions by fishermen fromthis score.
They will provide for opening of sea-
sons on concurrent dates, and estab-
lish clearly the points which consti-
tute violations and fines for same.
Before presenting the new drafts to
the legislatures, the fishermen Of both
States will be given a chance to sug-
gest changes considered necessary by
the latter to make them practical if
necessary.
Just what manner this part Of the
commissions program will be carried
out has not yet been decided, but will
be either by holding mass meetings at
the several fishing centers and hear
the fishermen personally, or have the
proposed laws published, with re-
quest that suggested changes be sub
mitted in writing by those interested.
Not alone have the commissions de-
cided to ask for the passage of their
acts, but will suggest to the legisla-
lures the passage of laws concerning
the migrating birds to conform to the
federal laws, to avoid confictions now
evisting. Under the present laws the
federal laws provide different dates
for opening several Of the seasons and
the time cunning and fishing is per-
missable to those of the two states.
AS the next Delaware legislature
will meet the End of January, the COM
mission expects to have the bills
ready for submission to the fishermen
by the middle of next week. A final
meeting of the commission, in joint
session, will probably take place at
Trenton, N. j.. or Philadelphia, Pa,
Thursday or Friday of this week, when
their final stamp of approval will be
placed on the proposed laws.

NATURALIZATION Of Bacteria,

Bacteria multiply by simply breaking
apart. Soon the two parts are full
sized germs and each itself separates
so that it is easy to see how quickly
millions of germs can be produced

Wisdom for Wet Weather.

A few precautions will decrease the
liability of catching cold from expos.
IRE to the rains of winter-as well as
its SHOWS. Some of the simplest pre-
yentatives are those that nature her
self furnishes. None needs to catch a
cold when wet if he or she will walk
or run home briskly Wet clothing
draws the heat from the body and
lowers the temperature below normal
This is dangerous. But if the heat Of
the body is maintained by exercise,
little or no harm results from the wet
clothing. If obtainable, two or three
humps of sugar should be eaten. This
helps the hearts action and supplies
considerable heat to the body.
Many deride the popular belief that
it is impossible to catch cold from a
wetting with sea-water, but the state
ment holds much truth. The salt re-
tards evaporation, and thus. the chill
ing of, the body is delayed. Obviously,
that is an advantage. Further, the
salt acts as a stimulant, and assists
the circulation of the blod. That is
another advantage. Thus, unless in
unusual circumstances, here is much
less chance of a cold resulting from
an immersion in the sea than in fresh
water.
Those who feel much depressed in
wet weather should form the habit of
increasing their rate of breathing. The
depression is due to the increase of
vapor in the air, and the consequent
proportionate decrease of oxygen.
Quicker breating, as is obvious,
pumps more oxygen into the system,
and the depression departs.
