CLIMAX OF AUDACITY.

There is an unquestioned affinity between
genius and New York. The country looks to its
largest city for the biggest frauds. the best or
worst takers and impostors in the many lanes
of endeavor open at all hours to talented ndivid-
uals, and Little Old New York never disappoints.
The latest introduces an impressario extra
ordinary of an elusive divorce ring"
In our day and generation we have become
so accustomed to the superlative. the best in
cheats, frauds and fakes that only the colossal
in size brilliant in execution attracts attention
for a longer period than few. hours. This
latest furnishes sensation that will not be for
gotten easily. For more than year all the re-
sources of New York's legal machinery has been
engaged in attempts to locate the directing agent
of an organization that was flooding the big
city with divorces.
At last the genius has been found. And
now that he has been located and captured his
system turns out to be the essence of simplicity
Taking advantage of unemployment he engaged
a staff to impersonate principals in prospective
divorce cases. While some were made up to
look like certain men and women, others played
the part of witnesses of stage-managed Eek
poses"
The possibilities for blackmail are immeas.
urable in this scheme. Impersonators could be
planted to represent any one in almost every
imaginable situation. Regulations could be-
and probably have been-ruined for men and
women who could have no knowledge of events
il which they were charged with figuring This
dashing fake caps the climax in aduacity.

FELTON, FARMER GETS RESULTS
OF PRACTICAL TEACHING

Boys in the department of Vocation
al Agriculture in FELTON, High School
during 1928, were studying feeds
for and feeding dairy cattle. This
study included among many jobs those
jobs of balancing rations and keeping
costs down so that profit might be
realized.
The ration which they made up in
cluded oats, corn and cob meal, bran,
oil meal, cottonseed meal, silage, al
falfa, and beet pulp.
A farmer of near FELTON, fed this ra-
ton from October 1, 1921 to April 80,
1922, to his entire herd; keeping a
record of his feed costs and his milk
receipts. In October there was a diff
ference of STATS between feed costs
and milk receipts. This amount was
increased each month following and
the months of December and March
were the highest, with $73.11 and
$86.79 respectively, as receipts over
costs of feed. The costs for the entire
period were $416.65 and the receipts
were $874.S0 leaving a gain to him of
$457.65.
The farmer is rather enthusiastic
over these results, for it has given him
a profit which he did not realize the
year before.

week and effected an organization;

/ST. JONES RIVER

Senator T. Coleman du Pont has
received word that his efforts for the
deepening of the channel of st. Jones
River which extends from Dover to
the Delaware Bay, have met with sue
cess and that deepening of that water
way from Lebanon to the Bay will be
started as soon as contract can be
entered into.
This eliminates twenty-five years
effort of various Senators from Della
ware to have st. Jones River ade-
quately deepened, and Senator du
Pont, who took up the project as a
legacy from former Senator Josiah o.
Wolcott was gratified when he was
informed by Major General Lansing
H. Beach, Chief of Engineers of the
United States Army, that improve
ment of the river as far as Lebanon,

MEET AT BRIDGEVILLE
TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE CROWD in One.
ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE FOR SECOND
DEMONSTRATION MEETING.

The second demonstration meeting
in the Statewide series planned by
the State Parent-Teacher Association
held last Friday evening at Atlanta
School District, No. 8, near Bridge
vile, Sussex county, was attended by
approximately 200 persons, crowded
in the one room school, to enjoy the
program suggested in the State pro-
gram leaflet for the month of Novem-
ber.
According to the plan, schools
where there are especially capable
teachers, have been selected by the
supervisors of the State Board of Ed
ucation and requested to give the pro-
gram so that visitors from adjoining
associations may observe and find an
incentive to repeat the programs in
their own districts. The subject for
the month of November to be consid-
cred in the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion throughout the State, if they
"play in" on the State program, is
''The School-What 1t Should Do for
the Child"
The walls of the school room were
lined with exhibits of the children's
work, the various projects suggested
in the leaflet by the supervisors Of the
State Board of Education for the
month of November. There were book
lets illustrating free-hand cutting, the
story of the Pilgrims written in the
child's own hand writing. Thanksgiv-
ing poems and the story of Hiawatha's
fasting and the corn. A sand table
an Indian village which has
been nodded by the children. A play,
'EpaminOndas," cleverly presented by
the children, afforded the laugh of the
evening.
Following the demonstration lesson,
DR.. Florence E. Bamberger, of Johns
Hopkins University, discussed the top
ic of the evening. DR.. Bamberger em-
phasized the fact that scientific teach
ing has become possible, and it is the
only kind of teaching that is fair TO
the child. Every child has an individ-
1ality and varying capacity for educa-
tion. It is the work of the school to
discover, first, his capacity, and then
provide the means or it's development.
DR.. Bamberger showed a picture
based upon the tests made by the SUI
oervisor last year in the Atlanta
School. The ability Of the children
n reading was graphically exhibited
n the figures of boy and girl climb
ng hill, the top of which represent
ID the goal for fourth grade children.

DELAWARE LEADS U.S..
in IMPROVED ROADS
ALTHOUGH NEXT TO SMALLEST STATE,
IT RANKS FIRST In MILEAGE in
PROPORTION TO AREA.

Delaware ranked first among the
States in the showing made for good
roads at a national convention held
on Wednesday and Thursday of last
week in Washington by the Highway
Education Board.
This organization is devoted to the
dual aim of improving not only the
standard and quality of highways but
also the means of transportation en-
plOyed on the roads. About 300 repre-
sentatives of highway departments
and educational institutions through
out the country attended the Wash
ington meeting.
Delaware was represented by G..
Douglas Buck, State highway engi-
neer; I. Paul Jones, secretary of the
State Highway Commission, and Pro-
fessor Robert w. Thoroughgood, of
the engineering department, Univer-
sity of Delaware.
It is anticipated 100000 miles of inn
proved highways will be built in the
United States under the system pro-
viding for Federal aid, while the in
dividual States will construct an
equal or even greater mileage. When
completed the transportation facilities
of the country will far exceed those of
any other nation, past or present.
Discussing the conference, Mr..
Jones, secretary of the State Highway
Commission, said much qualification
was felt at the showing made by Del
aware in the conference. Although the
next to the smallest State in the I'm
ion, it ranked first in it's mileage of
improved roads in proportion to area
and population.
Mr.. Jones further said it developed
at the conference that the motor truck
have forged ahead of
the road builders and were making
which were too heavy for use
on even the best concrete roads now
built. Recognizing that such a tend
ency would only work to the detriment
Of both road building and transporta-
tion, the manufacturers were already
the evil of their own ac-
cord by reducing the weight and car
rying limit of their vehicles.
Greater attention to study of high
way development and the organization
Of courses devoted specifically to
students to be expert road
engineers was urged by the confer
ence. A number of colleges and uni
are establishing or extend
ing such courses, and more are ex-
)ected to do so.

STUDENTS BUILD
CONCRETE STEPS

The Board of Education. of Seaford
seeing the need of new front steps at
the approach to the Seaford High
School, and other needed improve
ments around the building, decided to
turn the work over to pupils of the
Agricultural Vocational Department,
under the personal supervision of
Professor C. R. Snyder, instructor.
The students fom their study of con-
crete, decided to make the steps Of
that material. The entire class, num-
bering % boys, worked like beavers,
with the result that the high school
building now has concrete steps, built
entirely by the students. In building
the steps and making other needed i'm
provements around the building, they
used five loads Of gravel, five of sand
and 20 bags Of cement.
In the Milford public schools, a
course in cement work for the Manual
Training Glass, is under consideration.
The cement companies will supply all
plans and instructions, free of cost;
the current price of cement used,
will be the only expense. This is prac-
tical education for boys in public
schools.
