be wide and deep. A good gutter is
16 inches to IS inches in width and
9 or 10 inches below the platform.
Bedding should be clean and plen-
teous.
Long hair on the f1anks, udders
and tail above the switch of the
dairy cow should be removed at
regular intervals. Removing this
long hair removes the clinging places
of dirt which otherwise will fall into
the milk pail in quantities. Keeping
the hair short on these parts of the
cow permits cleaning in much less
time and more thoroughly. Brush
ing should never be neglected It
removes loose particles sticking to
the body. When the hair is short,
wiping the udders with a damp cloth
just before milking, is an easy and
important aid in securing clean milk.
1t is generally recognized that
most of the bacteria found in milk
finds its source in dirt clinging to
the cow and dropping into the pail
during milking time. Simple pre-
cautions will practically eliminate
this source of bacterial growth and
dairymen find themselves well re-
paid for the little time necessary in
taking such precautions.

In this connection an analysis O.

ers who received instruction at New
ark. The fact that elementary
schools of which there are the great
est number, naturally, do not profit
by these specially trained teachers
is another important detail of the
distribution of these teachers. Ac-
cording to data collected by the
State Board of Education, Whining

these specially trained instructors,
High School special districts used 54
per cent, elementary rural schools

10 per cent.
Physical Director Passed Up
Failure to obtain a physical direc-
tor for the public school system of
Delaware for the money apprOpria-
ted for that Office makes it seem now
as thought the project would again
have to be allowed to go over until
perhaps another two years have
elapsed. The original appropriation
allotted was $4,000. 1t is possible to
obtain a physical director for that
sum and perhaps if only $4,000 was
fixed. there would be a lot who
would like to obtain that salary, but
they are not the kind with the nee
essary experience and training to do
the work wished by the State Board
of Education.
One physical director was elected
to the job, but later he cOmmunicat-
ed with the State Board of Educa-
ton, setting forth that he could not
see his way clear to coming to Del
aware for less than salary of $4,-
900 year.
The State Board considered the
matter at its last meeting and d'S-
3ussed the possibility of raising the
salary to $4,000, but like many other
there are a dozen ways
or money to be spent and the Off
,ials did not see how the extra thou
sand dollars could be obtained with |

AS matters stand now,
he educational officials will likely
make no further effort to fill the
Dlace, but hope that in the mean
ime, before the next legislature
meets, that some qualified physical
irector will be seeking a job whom
he state can obtain for the $4,000
alary.
One of the ways in which the
tate Board of Education is looking
fter the states interest, as well as
he welfare of the children whom it
transports to school, is the taking
ut of insurance on these pupils.

Dairy Cow Efficient Food Producer


With increasing rentals and val
ues of farm lands, dairy farming is
rapidly replacing other types OF
live stock farming. A dairy COW
producing 5000 pounds of milk a
year furnishes 1000 pounds of dry
matter, all of which is edible and
digestible. A two year old steer
weighing between 1900 and 1900
pounds furnishes about $50 pounds
of dry matter, not all of which can
be used for food. In other words a
fairly good producing dairy cow
furnishes twice as much edible dry
matter in one year as a good two
year old steer when he is killed for
meat. A cow can be kept for addi-
tional years of service, while to re-
place the steer, another animal
must be fed for period of two
years.
The United States consumption of
milk per capita has increased from
AZ gallons of whole milk in 1918
to more than "a gallons in 1925.
With growing acceptance of milk
as food has come an increasing
knowledge of the proper care of
milk on the farm. Because odors
from foods and animals in the COW
stable are easily taken up by milk,
injuring it's flavor, they must not
come in contact with the milk. Re-
moval of the milk from the stable
as soon as possible reduces the
amount of dust and dirt entering it
and keeps down the bacterial growth
in the milk.
Bacteria increase rapidly in warm
milk causing it to sour quickly. Re-
mOval of the animal heat from |
freshly drawn milk by lowering the |
temperature to that of cold well |
water approximately co. F),
greatly aids in preventing bacterial |
growth. A we'll lighted, well venti-
lated milk house, not too close to |
the stable, is also very helpful.
Cleanliness in the stable is vitally |
necessary. The stall platform should |
be just long enough for the COW to
stand comfortably without room to
spare; otherwise, the COW will be-
come dirty from droppings when
she lies down. The gutter should

WHO WAS STUBBORN?
Viola WoOdVille

Il hope you won't nave trouble
with Meredith" said Mrs. Clark to
her sons new teacher, and added in
a voice only little lower, "He is
the most stubborn child ever saw.
He just won't give in, no matter how
long l keep at him."
He looks like a fine boy" replied
Miss Bush, hoping Meredith had not
heard his mother as he took his
place in the schoolroom.
Some time afterwards they had
another little talk-the mother dnx-
ious to know how Miss Bush regard
ed the stubborn srreak in her son.
Perhaps he is a bit stubborn"
she agreed, but what I see is the
beautiful quality of perseverance.
Why, Meredith wouldn't think of Civ
ing up an unsolved problem, and you
should just hear his points in our
Friday debates" and Miss Bush's
eyes fairly sparkled
But he gets so angry when I con-
tradict him." continued his mother,
and you know how liable child is
TO be wrong"
Perhaps he is often wrong, but
many times one can agree with part
of what he says, and that leads the
way to suggesting a different way of
thinking along the main line. When
he sees a truth clearly he is very
ready to admit. 1 suppose none of
us like to have our opinions put
aside too lightly" she laughed.
Of course Mrs. Clark was glad ;
that Meredith was doing so well, but
it hurt her to feel that she had been
wanting in tact in his management.
she was too intelligent and
honest not to recognize the superb
ority of Miss Bush's method. II be-
lieve you think that he will outgrok
this fault" she persisted.
Il wonder if it is really a fault in
case. 1t seems to me that
he boy has a stron gcharacter. His
Judgment will improve, of course,
md he will do the right thing often
er as he sees the right"
"Thank you, Miss Bush," said the
mother, quietly. you're right, and it
will do me good to admit that 1 be-
ieve 1 have often been the stubborn
me. I'll try not to antagonize Mere
Iith after this"
"Antagonize!" that is the keynote
o many childish rebellion. Mo-
hers seem to forget that children
re people and they are not careful

hat they do with others. A woman

TRAIN HITS AUTO
 AT JEWE77 CITY
Car DemOiShed,,T Two Men Are
 Badly Injured

Jevctt City, July 17 P'--A train struck an automobile from Massa- chusetts on Hope Crossing some miles north of here this forenoon, crushing the car and causing serious injuries to two of three men who were in it.
 There have been several fatal col llisions at this crossing, one quite re- gently when two persons were killed. The train involved today was south bound from Worcester to New | London over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. The auto was a touring car. The rail- road men got the names of occu- pants who were hurt as Henry Le- roux and Mir. Magean, of South Bridge, Mass. who were picked ur near the demolished car. They were placed in the baggage car and taken to Norwich and sent to the w. w. Backus hospital.
 In the car was found a. letter ad- dressed to H. Reseulneirs, 6 Chapin street, southbridge. The third man was evidently not hurt. No explana- ton of the collision was forthcoming except that the automobile was on the crossing as the train approach ed. Until the injured men are able to talk it will not be known prob ably whether the car stalled or the driver tried to cross the, tracks ahead of the train.
 The trains crew were Engineer Protector, Fireman Ruell and Con- ductor J. Harmon.

Washington. July 17 R--Difficul- ties of the American rubber interests because of the unprecedented rise in the price Of crude rubber were laid hcioro the state department today by a committee headed by Fredcr- icS (, Hood, president Of the Hood Rubber company, Of Watertown. Mass
 The conference with Secretary Kellogg was held al tho invitation of President Coolidgo
 l. was contended by the commit tee that the high prices are due to restrictions imposed by British inter- osts which control the crude rubber supply. l. was not charged. how ever, that there was any discrimina- ton against America as the restric- tions applied generally.
 Other Ihcrs of the committee were A, L. Vilos, general manager of the Rubber Association of Amer ica, Inc, and Edward C. German, president of the Dunlop Tire and Rubber corporation.
 A memorial prepared in the name of the Rubber association was left with Secretary Kellogg, who assured the committee it would be given careful consideration No indca- ton was given, however, of the means by which the government might seek relief for the American Rubber industry through diplomatic channels.

LAKE ONTARIO HAS
 PECULIAR MOTION
Tidal Wave Causes Water to
 Drop Two Feet

Rochester, N. Y, July l7,-Resi- dents of the shore of Lake Ontario from Charlotte to Forest Lawn re- ported yesterday morning a recum- renee of the so-called tidal wives in the lake which were noted in June soon after an earthquake In Japan,
 At l0:S9 a. m, as timed by Charles H. Palmer, whose summer home is near Forest Lawn, the waters receded eight feet and re- turned with a rush which carted driftwood high on the shore. The recession lowered the level of the water at least two feet he said This phenomenon was repeated Then the lake returned to its nor. nal state.
 The same conditions were noted It the Coast Guard station at Sum merville and at other points.
 At the time of the tidal waves in June slight earthquake was noted at Sodus Point. The waves there washed away the foundations of several buildings. At Pultneysville the channel of Bear Creek wa. emptied.
 Many persons recalled that ar Italian student of earthquakes had predicted shocks for today.

PENN. PLANS NEW
 RAILROAD DEPOT
Cost Of New York Structure Set
 at St25OO,OO0

New York, July 17--Before repre- sentatives of the Newark city com mission, the Public Service corpora ton of Newark and the South Side Extension Improvement association. plans for a $1@,S0o.0oo union station to take the place of four stations now used In Newark were outlined yesterday by representatives of the Pennsylvania railroad.
 General w. w. Atterbury. vice president of the Pennsylvania sys- tenn, announced at the meeting that the railroad was ready to go ahead with construction. He said that the stations proposed site was on the b!ocn between Market, Commerce and River streets.
 The estimated cost Of the station does not include s2,500.000 that the city must spend according to Gen eral Attcrbury. for property damage and the construction of new streets, leading to the building. Further more, General Atterbury explained. it does not include provision for making the old Morris canal bed suitable for railroad use
 The building of the union station would do away with the present Market and South street stations, the Hudson Tube depot at Park Place and Manhattan Transfer. Members of the South Side Improvement as sociatton at the conference request cd that provision still be made for a South street station, but General At terbury declared this would involve an addition expense of several mil lion dollars. He agreed 10 take the request under consideration.

WINS IN COURT, LOSES IN FACT
Kentucky Man Gets Title to Dog
 But Canine Dies

Ashland. Ky. July IT, 4 two year court fight over the ownership of a dog, entailing the expenditure of about $500 by the litigants, has just ended.
 W. L. Gillen and Ollie Compton, each claimed "Coaie," dog of somewhat uncertain ancestry, but a good mountain hunting dog" Each man had won two appeals to higher courts. Witnesses were called from four counties in the various trials.
 Gillen won the dog but the fly In the ointment is that "Coalie' has been dead two years, since just aft CT the litigation began.
 Gillen won because he proved he bought "Coalie' from Cornelius sliaggs, in the Morgan county moun- tains. He produced witnesses to show that he had taken the black, tan-wa geing dog to the home of his brother in Johnson county to be kept for hunting whatever game might be found.
 Later "Coaie" was sold to Henry Hoffman. Several months later Oils Compton and his friends, it was con- tended, appeared at Hoffman's home and served a writ of delivery, taking the dog to Comrton's home, "Coalio' did not do we'll in Ms new residence. He pined away. contracted distemper and died.
 Gillen filed charges and Compton was called to court. He obtained post mortem custody of "Coalie,' but Gillen won an appeal The pro cedure was of a see-saw nature aft erward, but Gillen finally won.
 It is doubtful if anyone knows where "Coalie" was buried and all Gillen will have is memory of the waggin tail and bright eyes of his little hunting dog.

Brussels, July 17 PeThe Belgian government has agreed with the French and British for the early evacuation of Dusseldorf, Duisberg md Ruhrort, simultaneous with the evacuation of other places in the Ruhr.
 Recent dispatches have said preparations were being completed Tor the allied evacuation of the Ruhr not later than August IS, the date fixed by the London agreement of 1924 which put the Dawes plan into effect. Already a number of small towns in the Ruhr have been evacu- lted. Essen and Bochum are to be freed soon. Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort are socalled sane tions cities' and their evacuation was made conditional by the London agreement upon Germany's fulfill ment of her Dawes plan obligations.
