ARMY TESTS AIR.
BOMBER

NEW YORK, July %. - United
States Army air officials are now
testing out the first OF what they
hope will be fleet of many veri-
table flying battleships for the U.
s. Army air service.
The big, all-metal biplane. de-
signed to replace the present type
of bomber used by the Army. is
powered with two 60O-horsepower
Curtiss motors mounted between
the wings on either side of the
fuselage. 1t is named the Curtiss
Condor.
The plane mounts six machine.
guns, mounted in pairs, as follows:
Two In a turret in the nose or
extreme front of the fuselage, two
each in turrets behind each Of the
motors. It Is claimed the fire of
the machine-guns can be conferred
on an opposing plane as near as
a hundred feet away.
In addition to the machine-guns,
the big bomber will have room and
capacity for carrying a ton of high
ly explosive aerial bombs.
The specifications call for a
cruising speed Of los miles IN
hour, as compared to IS miles for
the present type of bomber. The
cruising radius will be 799 miles.
The crew will number five.
One feature of the Condor Is a
seating arrangement whereby the
members of the crew can replace
one another in case of injury to
one or more of them. The bomber
sits just forward of the pilot in the
cockpit, where he can take over the
controls, in which event the gun
ner in the nose can come back and
replace the bomber.

NEW YORK, July 22.--Demp-

Sharkey Not Fouled
Says Times Expert

Gene himself soon dispersed that
impression and we shall never for.
get his manlipess and determine
ton as he stood there and let the
raging. derelict, Dempsey, wear
himself down against his own
wrath for five rounds and then
step in the fore and pile up a
margin of points that was ludi-
crous in view of the reputation of
his foe.
No Derelict With Sharkey
But Dempsey was no derelict
last evening. boys and girls, and
it would have done your separate
and collective hearts good to see
the revived and rejuvenated Demp-
sey boring into Sharkey's stomach
and occasionally jabbing his jowls
until the loud Lithuanian bit the
dust.
Sharkey had It coming to him.
He was unduly proud and
naughty over very meager
record. For his number Of fights
he had no reason to hang his head
because none can take from him
the fact he was active. But who,
we prithe, may boast and brag be-
cause of victories over McTigue,
Maloney, Wills, Godfrey, German,
Huffman and King Solomon?
Yes, Sharkey had it coming to
him.
He's in Harry Wills class now
and if he's a great fighter, he's got
to step out and prove it all over
again.
Meanwhile, Leo Pugnacious
Flynn, who has managed more
bum fighters than any man on
earth or under it, has at last come
into his own. Where Gene Normile
failed in the task laid down by
Jack Kearns, Leo has turned years
of unrewarded effort at last into
a glorious record for himself. Give
him credit or instilling the secrets
of success into Dempsey and give
Dempsey credit for absorbing them.
The only graceful thing Jack
Kearns can do now is to pipe down,
as the boys say, but grace hap
pens not to be one of Kearns'
virtues.
So turn out the guard. let the
bands blare forth and bring on
the dancing maidens and flower
sirls-that big bozo down on The
Times picked winner!

Dempsey gave Sharkey and which
was one Of the deciding factors in
the fight was a blow on the pit of

Dempsey to win.
They ali say there was no foul

ITO my mind It was the best
managed fight that ever had any
thing to do with. From almost
every angle it was one Of the best
fights that I ever attended. am
proud to have been connected with
it. but there is one thing that I
want to impress upon the minds Of
the people.
Not q Good Place
a baseball field is not the most
ideal spot to hold big fight. The
grand stand might be o. K, but
the people seated on a level Of the
diamond, where the most expensive
seats are, do not get the best view
Of the fight. All seats at a prize
fight should be elevated. one above
the other. hope some day to
build a bowl or stadium in New
York city that will answer my pur-
pose and be an ideal place for an
open air fight"

MANY INQUIRIES COMING TO

Delaware and Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia is Waking Up to
Possibilities on This Peninsula

The far reaching, lasting and sub
stantial effect of the various mediums
of advertising used by the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association is evil
denced by the receipt of three COM
munications recently received at the
Associations office at Salisbury, Md.
These special letters arriving in the
same mail and representing three dis
tinct mediums of advertising, are
unique, although not unusual as the
Associations files contain an impress
sive number showing similar interest
The first of these letters, written by
a woman living in Wallace, Michigan,
was directed TO the National Broad
casting Company, of New York, thru
which the Del-Mar-Va Association
presented a series of five one-hour
broadcasting programs last Fall, con
cluding the first week in November
The far reaching effect of that pro
gram may be judged from the follow
ing letter:

Purina Specialist Answers

"The answer to the entire problem"
SAYS G. "a. Brandon, an expect dairy
man, "is that what appear to be ac-
tual changes in butterfat changes are
only temporary changes. A number
of different conditions arises to
change temporarily the percentage Of
butterfat in milk This change can
not continue over a long period of
time because the COW can make milk
in Just one way and that is the way
in which her particular breed always
makes milk.
"The state of lactation determines
the richness Of the milk. The rich
ness of the milk decreases from the
time the COW freshens to the third
month, during which it has the least
amount Of butterfat. Then as the
cow advances in her period, the but
terfat percentage increases to the
eighth month, after which the rise is
quite rapid until the COW is dry. Of
course, there are daily fluctuations
from this rule but this is always a
general tendency.
"Any of the following causes" says
Brandon" "may change, for few days
only, the percent ofb utterfat:
A sudden change in the weather;
A sudden change in feed;
Excitement-such as chasing by
dogs, beating, or other i'll treatment;
A change in surroundings;
A new mixer;
A change from a very low protein
feed to a high protein feed.
All of these changes are only tenn
porary, lasting but few days at the
longest"
The big profits in dairying come
from getting the greatest amounts o.
marketable product possible from
your cows. The biggest cream checl
will come from the largest amount q

TWO YEARS, $3,4OO FOR ROBBERY
Paul McNatt Drew Lighter Sentence
Than Had Been Anticipated


Paul d. McNatt, of Milford, was
sentenced to serve two years in the
New Castle County Workhouse, pay
the sum Of $3,40O as restitution mon
ey and the cost of prosecution in Gen
eral Sessions Court, at Georgetown,
on Monday of last week, upon a
charge of breaking into and robbing
the jewelry store of Samuel C. Evans
Of Milford, October II, last. The rob-
berry was one of the biggest that has
been committed in lower Delaware for
several years, and it was not until
about three weeks ago that the au-
thorities were able to fasten the crime
upon McNatt.
Prominent business men of Milford
gave testimony as to his high stand
ing in the town until the time of his
arrest. McNatt formerly resided in
Dover,b but shortly after the war broke
out moved to Milford, where he has
since been living. He served three
years in the National Guard, being
attached to the Milford company.
1t is thought the character witness
es produced did much to lessen the
sentence meted out to him, for it was
the prevailing opinion in Milford that
he would receive a heavy sentence.
Many persons in Milford believe that
others not named by McNatt were i'm
plicated in the affair.

WHY SCHOOL COSTS ARE MORE
More Than Double Number Children
in Schools: Attendance Longer


Just stop and think of the facts be-
fore you criticize, or object to the
cost of education in the public schools
of Delaware. 1t is well to be inform
ed before talking about any subject,
andl it is easy to get information if
you want it. George Williams, of
Sussex county, is the president of the
State Board of Education and has
been closely identified with public
schools and teaching for many years.
He is also very active man is public
affairs as to education, and at an adj
dress made in Laurel, Delaware, last
month, he gave some interesting facts
in regards to the schools of Delaware,
and explained that the reason many
people criticize the high cost of edu-
cation is because they know but little
about it. He stated that in 1870, the
enrolment of the schools of the state
was 10000 pupils, while in 1926 the
enrolment was $4,000. OF this latter
number $4,000 are in the rural dis
trictS.
More than 5000 nigh school pupils

In addition to the great increase in
enrolment the increase in attendance
has jumped from an average of 80

the AL school buildings is the state
more than 200 are over so years old
and some of them were in use in Rev
olutionary days. There are 1926
teachers in the state and POT colored
teachers and the average salary of
high school teachers in the city of
Wilmington is $1,000 as against the
average in the special district of the
state Of about $1,000.
A total of $2,5OO,OOO was spent for
education in the state in 1926, making

DOES PASTURE GRASS INCREASE
BUTTERFAT CONTENTS Of MILK?
SOME SAY THAT FEED HAS NO
INFLUENCE ON MILK QUALITY
Others Say Ii Can Be Varied By Fat
Contents in the Feed-Kent COun-
ty Dairymen Can Answer

AS spring approaches and Kent
County dairymen are getting ready to
put their cows on pasture, the peren-
NAL question, "Does pasture grass in
crease the butterfat content of milk y
is again being revived.
Some authorities say that feed has
no influence whatsoever on the rich
ness Of milk. Others say that the
richness can be varied according to
the fat content Of the feed. The
truth probably lies somewhat between
these two statements. When cows
are put on pasture, they do come up
in their milk, because Of the succu-
lence and palatability Of spring grass.
But as they come up in milk, they
seem to go down in the relative per-
cent Of butterfat.
What Henry Morrison Say
Henry-Morrison, probably the most
reliable authorities on feels and feed
ing, ,say@"We have now come to know
that the milk Of each COW pissess a
fixed and inherent composition and
that normally the richness Of milk is
not the immediate sequence of feed
ing and care, provided COW receives
sufficient nutriment to maintain her
body weight. Cows starved or great
ly under weight may produce milk
somewhat lower in the percentage
than normal. However, as is shown
in the following paragraph, under all
ordinary conditions the percentage of
fat cannot be materially altered for
any long period of time by the par
ticular kind of feed the cow receives.
"The Jersey COW gives milk which
is relatively rich in fat and the Hol-
stein, milk that is relatively low in
fat No kind of feed or care will
cause the Jersey to give milk like
that of Holstein or the reverse.
Were a piece Of skin clothed with vel
low hair taken from the body Of a
Jersey COW and grated on the body
of a HolStein COW, we should expect
the grated portion to continue grow
ing yellow Jersey-like hair. In the
same way were it possible to graft
the udder Of Jersey COW on the
body of Holstein, we would then ex-
pect the Holstein to give Jersey-like
milk. It is not the body Of the COW
or the digestive tract, nor the feed,
but the glands of the udder which de-
termine the characteristics of the
milk yielded by each individual cow.
That is what we should expect, for if
milk varied with every slight change
in food and condition, the life Of the
young dependent upon such milk,
would always be in jeopardy"
Everyone knows that milk from
cows first put on pasture shows. up
with less cream. How do Messrs.
Henry & Morrison answer this?

Does old age dominate American
business enterprises?
Must youth wait until it passes mid
die age before it can get major recog-
milton in the world of practical affairs?
These questions have been forced
to the front by the announcement by
the Wharton School of Finance and
Commerce, University of Pennsylva-
MIA. that it's survey had shown that
administration of the country's lead
ing business enterprises is in the
hands of men whose average age is
about so years.
Perhaps business executives are
staying young longer than in the past.
Better sanitation and improved living
conditions have been frightening the
span of life of the average man.
The statistical figure concerning the
average of leading executives is some
what misleading, because behind the
titular heads are q vast array or
younger men of progressive ideas who
do much of the creative and admins
trative work without having yet at
tanned the dignity of full recognition
and responsibility.
