LOOK OUT FOR THE POISON IVY
Autumn Ramblers In Woodlands Will
See the Red Leaves Displayed

Wanderers, hikers and lovers of the
great outdoors, especially in the glor-
ious days of autumn, will do we'll to
pass by certain beautiful red leaves
which are alluring and would appar-
emily form an autumn bouquet which
would grace a vase or jardiniere in
many home. For this is a wicked
plant, and allures only to cause the
greatest discomfort to the explorer.
1t is the well-known poison ivy, and
is prevalent along the ponds and wood
lands, and in fact, throughout this
section and particularly along fence
rows and roadsides. There is not a
more unpopular plant in the woods
than poison ivy, and its reputation is
well deserved. Each season brings a
new crop of sufferers from poisoning
at its hands, and the old sufferers pro-
duce their. thousand and one recipes
for relief. Usually the poison will
run for nine days, at least that is the
popular belief. Some "poison" if they
simply come in the neighborhood
where ivy is located. The majority
are affected, however, by touch. On
the other hand, there are some who
are immune to the poison, and can
handle it with impunity.

MODIFY SMYRNA SCHOOL PLAN
TO KEEP COST WITHIN LIMIT
LOWEST S>ASKED TO RE-
WISE THEIR FIGURES ANEW
Fresh Offers To Be Considered At
Meeting of Smyrna School Board
and School Auxiliary To-day

Though A. L. Hudson was the low
est bidder for Smyrna new school
building every effort is being put
forth by the Delaware School Auxil-
iary Association to obtain fresh esti-
mates on the construction of the new
high school at Smyrna that will come
within the amount of money, $780,
900 available for the project. Of the
total sum, $65,O00 was voted by the
Smyrna Special School District and
100000 was pledged by the AuXil-
iary from the P.S. dupont Educational
Fund. Between $4,000 and $4,000
was required by the board for pur-
chase of an additional plot of land adj
joining the present site of the old
school so as to provide for an athletic
field, and it is estimated about $4,000
will be necessary to furnish and equip
the new building. With these neces-
sary expenses deducted, the sum of
Sal, 900 remains available for the IA
room building itself. Monday of last
week, when bids were opened at the
office of the auxiliary in the dupont
Building, only two bids were re-
ceived for erection complete of the en-
tire building. These were made by
A. L. Hudson, Smyrna, S157,800, and
Joseph T. Ryan, Milford, $257,936

FALL WITH US NEXT SATURDAY
Sun Will Cross Line and Bright Sum-
mer Days Will End

Visions of empty coal bins will flash
across the minds of many next Sat-
urday, when Old Sol crosses the line,
and inaugurates the season when the
frost gathers thick on the pumpkin,
and the melancholy days hover in the
distance surrounded by a smoky haze
of Indian summer days. Fall will be-
gin next Saturday, and bright summer
days will give way to golden autumn
Incidentally the day light saving time
will end in Wilmington, Philadelphia
and the larger cities Sunday, when
the clocks will be turned back an hour
to Standard time. The Autumnal
Equinox has habit of coming around
this time of the year. just after straw
Katies have been shelved for the sea-
son, and last years overcoat is being
taken out of the tar camphor. The
Sun will enter Capricornus, which is
the term used by the almanac Jug
glers to designate the Goat. Who is
this mystical and mysterious Goat, no
one seems to know, but he keeps COM
pany with the Crab, the Scorpion and
the Bull. At any rate, the Sun enters
the Goat, and presto, fall is here. 1t
is not at all an unusual thing for Aut-
umn to succeed Summer. It's quite
the usual thing around these parts.
No self-respecting year would dare to
exist without an autumn. 1t lasts
three months, and we leave it for the
bright boy in the front row to tell US
what comes after autumn.

FIX SCHOOL BUDGET FOR STATE
State Board of Education After PAIRING
OFF $4,000, Will Ask Coming
Legislature For $5,100,OO0

In line with the recent meeting of
the principals and supervising princi-
pals of Special School Districts with
Superintendent of State Schools, H.
V. Hollaway, the question of school
budgets for the next four years was
taken up again before a meeting Of
the State Board of Education held at
Dover Friday for the special purpose
of comforting with the supervising
principals and as many Of the COM
missiOners as could be present. The
meeting was held in the Senate Cham
ber of the State House and was large
ly attended, practically every super
vising principal of the special school
districts of the State being present.
After DR.. Holloway, secretary of the
State Board of Education, had made
known the objects, of the meeting
general discussion was called for by
President Brown Of the State Board
the board desiring a free expression
from each supervising principal as to
his particular budget and any sugges-
tiOn he might have to make as to any
shaving of the budget as prepared a
week ago by the different principals,
which the State Board considered at
their meeting on Friday last, princi-
pals of the Lewes, Seaford, Laurel,
Georgetown, Dover, Smyrna, Caesar
Rodney, Claymont and Wilmington all
gave their opinions as to their budgets
explaining that after careful cOnsid
Grafton, they could not see where they
could do much shaving. 1t was made
plain to the principals and others pres
ent that with the total amount of the
budgets as already submitted, aggre-
! eating in the total almost S3,000,000,
in the belief of the State Board and
others, the Legislature would not pass
such bill and consequently the effort
| of the State Board would be to reach
an amount which would come as near
as possible to the amount appropriat-
ed by the last Legislature for school
purposes. At the afternoon session of
the State Board after careful consid-
Grafton of all the budgets submitted,
it was decided to fix the budget for
school purposes for 1924 at $780,
600, and that for 1924-25 at $780,
900. The percentage basis as sug-
gested by Assistant Supervisor of Pub
lie instruction John Shilling of Az
per cent for general control and 20
per cent for instructional service, was
adopted. The reduction made by the
State Board of the total amount of
the budgets submitted was 100000
and it is believed by the State Board
Of Education that with this amount
presented to the Legislature, it will
be granted.

ing Has to Be Suspended
Work is expected to stop at the end
of this week at the new road contsruc-
tion and railroad terminal job at State
Road Crossing. The roadway through
the woods and fields which will con-
meet the two ends of the present high
way is about graded and laid out to
receive the actual roadbed. Quite a
lot of dynamite had to be used in
clearing stumps and trees from the
path of the new road and in the
stretch of woods on the south side of
the railroad track there is lot of
quicksand which has caused the steam
roller to become stuck several times.
Quicksand was also found underneath
the railroad at the place where the
roadway is to pass under the tracks.
1t was discovered when piling was
driven to be used as a support to the
tracks. The quicksand will have to be
overcome before and further real pro-
gress can be made in excavating from
beneath the railroad tracks. The road
between st. Georges and Tybouts Cor
ner has been closed again and progress
is being made in laying cement thru
the town limits of st. Georges.

With Everett Moore as President
Class Officers and Athletic Sports

The Schools of Smyrna Special Dis
trict opened September 5th, with one
hundred and thirty students in the
High School. There are fifty Fresh
men, thirty Sophmore, twenty-five
Juniors and twenty-five Seniors. We
are expecting twenty more students to
enter this week. We hope to have the
largest graduating class this year that
we have had for many years. The
General Organization has reorganized
with the following officers: Everett
Moore, president; Franklin Corley,
vice-president; Mary Robinson, secre-
cary; Eva Stehley, pianist; Mr.. Webb,
treasurer; Miss Holland, faculty ad-
visor. Each student in the High School
is eligable to membership in the G. O..
and to take part in the social activ-
tiles during thhe school term. The
classes have elected the following Of
ficers for the coming term: Senior

Franklin Corley is acting as president

their rings and expect to receive them

has reported for practice this week
and there is some very likely looking
material. We lost some of our best
men by graduation last year, and the
gap left by Patterson and Hurd will
be hard to fill. Knots and King have
not entered school so ar,but expect tc
this week. Pleasanton, our great base
ball pitcher, is out again and will, nc
doubt, capture a back-field position
Sklut, who played last season in the
back field, will be in great shape this
year. Moore is trying for the center
position, that was filled so we'll last

game, are going thru the preliminar
