2OTH CENTURY CLUB PROGRAM

Interest in the Coming Luncheon to be
Held February 15th-Meeting Friday |
The program of January 25th, in |
charge of Mrs. Thomas Getz Hill, was
a most interesting one. The piano
duets given by Miss Frances AleXan-
der and Mrs. H. C. Webb, "Russia"
and Hungary" two as a suite of six,
from Moszkowsli's "From FOregn
Parts" were fine indeed. Mrs. William
Laird of Wilmington, gave most en-
tightening talk on Juvenile Court. She
is thoroughly conversant with the
workings of the court, and tcld of the
great opportunity for the moral and
religious teaching there was in the
work, and of her personal experience
with the young offenders. She also
spoke of the great need of detensiOn
house in which to take care of them.
Tea was served by the Club Hostess
The program for February 1st, is in
charge of Mrs. F. F. Evans, and will
be devoted to "Studies in the Orient" "

AUXILIARY SCHOOL FINISHED

st. Georges School, Valued at S14O,-
600, Will be Dedicated February 8
The Commodore MacDonough School
recently built by the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association, and situated
along the dupont Boulevard near
St. Georges, will be dedicated and
turned over to the State Saturday,
February 9. 1t cost S140,000. The
new school is situated north of St.
Georges at the junction of the road
leading from St. Georges to Kirk
wood. 1t is one story high and to-
gether with the school, grounds, COW
ers six and one-half acres of ground.
The building is made of buff-cOlored
brick and white woodwork, which
forms a pleasing contrast. The main
feature, however, is the new system
of entrances. Each room has its own
private entrance from the outside,
which not only adds to the safely of
the pupils in case of fire, but also pre-
vents one class from becoming mixed
with another. In the center of the
school is an auditorium having a seat
ing capacity of 500. There is also a
room which can be used for library.
Space has been provided for 1000
books. A garage built to hold three
buses is at the rear of the school. Al
present the children of Red Lion and
Hickory Grove have voted to attend
the new MacDOnough school, and it
is hoped by the Delaware School Aux
iliary Association that others will also
show their interest in a like manner

UNCOMPAHGRE RIVER MAKES
4 VERY LOW RECORD
Montrose Press:-

Montrose Press:-
With only fifty feet of water in the
Uncompahgre river at Colona, this
stream has established ~low record
for the year. II has been over twenty
years, it is claimed, since the Uncom-
pahgre has been so uniformly low all
the season as it has been this.
Usually there are heavy rains in the
mountains in August that bring up
this river, but not so this year. With
out exception there are cloudbursts
and floods in July and August that
raise the Uncompahgre. The river this
season has been low ever since the
spring run-off stopped.
The Gunnison has maintained a
much better flow than would be ex-
pected in such a dry year. The Gun
nison tunnel is now diverging about
725 feet. There have been wears
when the Gunnison has been much
lower. 1t is astonishing the way
the Gunnison has kept up its flow and
the Uncompahgre has dropped. With
but fifty feet of water in the Uncom-
pahgre, one gets some idea of what
the valley would be up against if this
was the only irrigation water available
as it used to be before the Gunnison
tunnel.
