TYNDALL'S SCHOOL NOTES

The pupils of Tyndall's school are
making the most of their great op-
portunity this school year. At this
time eight pupils have had perfect
attendance for the term. We are
proud to say that we have enrolled
as members of the Junior Red Cross
this being the first time our school
has ever been enrolled. This has
also given us more honor as we
were given the opportunity to help
make a portfolio to send to Japan,
to which we contributed the intro
ductory letter, pictures and stories
of all our great men, born in Febru-
airy and some interesting health
work.
Sometime ago we carried out a
hot cereal project for four weeks for
which we were awarded a beautiful
picture, "The Angelus"., At this
time we are selling candy and get
ting subscriptions to magazines in
order to raise money for our library.
We now have II books which we
have purchased this term and hope
in a short time to make this number
thirty.
We have completed our twelve
weeks of Health Crusade for which
we will receive pins as awards.
We have also sent our dues of fif-
ty cents to renew our membership
to the D. I. A. A.
Miss Annie B. Moore, Sussex coun-
ty Club Agent visited our school on
Friday, February 4th and told us
how pleased she was with our club
work, this ALSO being the first time
we have had a club.
We have three girls who belong to
the sewing club and two boys poul-
try club members.
At Christmas under the careful
direction of our teacher, Miss Grace
Hastings also our club leader, we
were all able to give our mothers
very useful gifts, not only the girls
but every boy in school presented

SUSSEX CHILDREN DOING
RED CROSS WORK

Members of the Junior Red Cross,
students in the geography class of
Miss Lillian Anthony in the Seaford
School and in the classes of W. N.
Willis of the Bridgeville School have
prepared portfolios to be forwarded
to school children in foreign coun-
tries.
The Seaford portfolio is very neat
and well made about ten to twelve
inches and if the wishes of the Sea-
ford children are carried out, their
portfolio will go to children in
France or to Belgium Congo.
The portfolio from the Bridgeville
is twice the size of the Seaford port
folio and they have requested that it
be forwarded to Japan or France.
The Bridgeville portfolio has some
very interesting drawings of the ear
lier flags of the United States as
well as much other interesting ma
terial.
These representative emblems of
this country, carried by the soldiers
of the Revolution and the naval war
fare of 1872 as well as the Civil
War, reflects the ability of the chill
dren in art as well as presenting in
teresting details of the history of the
United States.

EVERY young girl has moments when
the popular period gown seems to suit
her type perfectly, but unfortunately it
does not always seem to suit her figure.
This tragic situation is successfully met
by the pretty frock above, which will be
becoming to almost every young woman,
even to those who can not wear the plain
and unbroken fitted bodice of the usual
robe de style. Here we see it in talfeta
with the long tie-collar and the deep
scalloped border made in a different

BARBARA is going travelling, and she isn't
sure what sort of spring weather she may
meet. So she is looking for smart
frock which will be sufficient unto itself
without coat on warm days and on the
train, and which will also look and fit well
under her coat on days when spring seems
far behind. That is why she chose this
costume of silk or wool. The eminently
stylish bolero back and the high collar
give the wearer a sense of suit-ike COM
pletion of dress which one sometimes
lacks in an ordinary two-piece frock.
Yet since the waist is one with the skirt
in front, and since the collar is adjustable,
this frock fits under coat unobtrusively.

MAN0|LESCU FREED
 BY COURT MARTIAL
ACQuittal Hailed as New Era Of
 Liberty for Rumania

Bucharest, Rumania. Nov. 5 Pi- His acquittal by a court martial Of charges of conspiracy in the recently unearthed Caroist plot was hailed today by Mahail Manoilescu as "the beginning of a new era Of liberty in Rumania."
 Five judges voted three 10 two 10 set free the former Nnder- secretary of finance on trial charged with con- spring 10 bring former Crown Prince Carol back to Rumania and restore 10 him his rights Of success sion to the throne which have now fallen upon his six-year- old son, Michael.
 Arguing in Manolescu's defense enc of his lawyers, NJ. Mihalache, declared
 "Our present system is balanced on the sharp edge of a sword. If II be the wish Of the people, Prince Carol may return not only as regent, but as king. One can stem a rivulet, out not a river. One can repress the wishes of the government, but not the will Of the people"
 Reopening the dynastic question, which was settled by Carols renun- citation of the throne and confirmed by law in January, 1926, the arrest and trial of Manoilescu aroused in tense interest among Rumanians. { The interest was increased by the defendants impassioned plea in his own behalf and the demand of the prosecution that he pay the full penalty of the law-five years i'm prisonment. The verdict was greeted with cheering.
 I Manoilescu, descendant Of Ru- manian revolutionaries, has been an unrelenting foe of the present Pre- mier Lionel Bratianu. whose family 1 has been an all-powerful factor in 1 Rumania for 50 years.
 i Always a foe of dishonest cleo i tione and corruption in government i he fought vigorously for freedom of press and speech. Under his slogan: Greater Rumania, as nation i pride, not as a national vanity" he fought increasingly to emancipat' the country from the economic and political group of the Bratianus.
