NEW OFFICIALS IN OFFICE
Changes Took Place Monday in State
House and County Building

Monday January 1st brought about
a number of changes in the State
House and County Building at Dover
when the officials who were elected at
the November election assume their
duties. The new officials have placed
the necessary bond for the perform
ance of their duties and are now ready
to take their oath of office. Three
changes are made in the State House.
Charles NJ Hollis will assume his
duties as Insurance Commissioner,
Thomas F. Fouracre will become State
Treasurer and Joseph M. Harrington
will be Auditor of Accounts. While
there will probably be some change in
the personnel of the clerical force of
these offices, no announcement has
been made of them thus far. A num-
Der of changes occur in the County
office. Edgar E. Clements succeeds
Jacob Heyd as Clerk of the Peace.
With the aid of Mr. Heyd, Mr.. Glenn
ents has been familiarizing himself
with the duties of the Office during
the past several weeks. Edgar H.
Atkinson succeeds Charles Coverdale
as Recorder of Deeds. Eli Burris sue
ceeds Mark w. Cole as Register in
Chancery and Clerk of the Orphans
Court. Sheriff Charles w. Graham is
succeeded by John H. Bullock. Mr.
Bullock has not made any announce
ment of the appointment of his depu-
ties. Only one change will be made in
the Levy Court. Henry D. Boyer will
succeed Henry |. Beers as the Com
missioner from the First District. The
other two members, John w. Shell
drake and George C. Herring were re-
elected from their respective districts
The Levy Court will probably organ
ize at their meeting next Tuesday
Luther M. Needles retires as Coroner
and will be succeeded by Benjamin F
Jester.

DRAWN BY MOTHERS COOKING
Georgia Youth Broke Jail to Enjoy
Breakfast and Returned to
Place of Punishment.

There's something more than the
prOverbial joke in mothers cooking. 1t
may not be as scientific or as elab-
crate, as is the product of cafe hotel
chefs, but there is a satisfying char
acter about it to son which cannot
be duplicated, remarks the Atlanta
Georgian.
Over in South Carolina an eighteen
year-Old lad was locked up in the
town jail for minor offense. 1t
was probably the first time he had
been thus violently torn from home
and mOther-at any rate, when next
morning rolled around he missed the
delectable breakfast which he had
been accustomed to enjoy under the
parental roof
When In the wash room he managed
to secure two iron bars, which he
concealed until the jailer had gone.
Then he smashed the lock of his cell
and hied, himself away for home.
After he had safely put away the
breakfast which mother prepared for
him, he quietly returned to the Jail
and gave himself up.
OF course the lad made himself a
criminal in the eyes of the law by
breaking jail, especially as he aided
two other prisoners to escape at the
same time. But the fact of his return
to captivity proved the truth of his
assertion that he only craved one of
mothers breakfasts" Surely boy
cannot be all bad when he will dare
so much merely to get one of moth
ers' hOme-coOked meals.

MytiIene's Claim to Fame.

In the news of the Near East the
name "Mytilene" occurs frequently,
usually In connection with the Greek.
Turkish conflict. This island in the
Aegean sea has a much greater claim
on public attention, for there was
born Sappho, the first woman, and
the only one. to gain a place among
the worlds great poets. Modern
Mytilene differs little from ancient
Lesbos. The streets follow the same
contours, and the life described by
Sappho, seven centuries before the
birth of Christ, may be traced in the
life today.-Maria Allston, in Mentor
Magazine.

AID UNNOURISHED CHILDREN
Education Boards, Parent Teachers
and Welfare Commission Cooperate

During January there is to be start
ed within the state of Delaware one of
the most interesting and helpful pieces
or work that has ever been attempted
by any organization. This is the
launching by the Delaware State
BOARD. of Public Instruction, the State
Child Welfare Commission, the Del
aware State Parent Teachers Associa-
ton and Delaware College Extension
Department, of a state nutrition pro-
gram. Forty percent of the school
children of Delaware as shown by
medical examination are under nour-
ished. In order to try and correct
this deplorable and preventable condi-
tion the above named organizations
have agreed on a program that will
do much to give the children a fair
start in life. Under nourished does
not mean that the children do not have
enough to eat but that they are not
getting the food their bodies need in
order to grow strong and well. The
object of this state program is to
arouse interest among all the people
of Delaware in the health of Delaware
children and to present to those re-
sponsible for the health of the chill
dren easy and simple methods of plan
ming health for the body. Each or
ganization has its own part in the pro-
gram. The Child Welfare Commission
has charge of the physical examina-
tion of the children. The State Board
of Public instruction is cooperating
thru the home economics department
the vocational high schools. The home
economics girls are taking charge of
the children found below normal by
the physical examination, weighing
them weekly, directing their diets and
charting their gains. The Parent
Teachers Association is going to pre-
sent the Importance of the nutrition
work to the parents at their local meet
ings while the Extension Department
of Delaware College has nutrition
study classes for the rural women in
all parts of the state and is to hold
four three-day nutrition schools; one
in each of New Castle and Kent Coun-
ties and two in Sussex County. This
program belongs not only to these or
ganizations who are taking the initial
steps but to every man and woman
and organization in Delaware. No
bigger work can be done than helping
improve the condition of the children
of the state. 1t is hoped by those in
charge that there will be an active
interest manifested by the public.
Those desiring to know more of the
plan can secure information by writ
ing Miss Kathryn E. Woods, Delaware
University, Newark. Delaware.
