Doctors in private practice as

are much concerning in prevent
ing the diseases which are al
ways on the increase at this
time Of year. Among children
is there particular need Of Wig
lance against diphtheria and
scarlet fever. Medical eXamina-
ton Of school children each day
is important, since a slight sore
throat, not even mentioned by
the child, may be the beginning
of a dangerous disease. AS the
Milford Chronicle says: "Par-
ents should be instructed in the
invaluable aid provided by inoc-
ulation against diphtheria. The
Board of Health sends out fire.

and terrible speed Of this dis

the opportunities offered by
clinics oil their own doctors to
pass by. If the child whose
throat is already infected is
treated with antitoxin early
enough he may be safe, but
three days after his throat has
become sore is often too late.
Science, driving eagerly forward
in its search for relief to suffer

Formal dedication Of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
has been fixed for May Ia. This
will give plenty Of time for ar
rangements for the ceremonies,
which will be imposing, as they
should be. President Coolidge
will be asked to speak. We trust
he will come. Delawareans and
many others nearby would like
to hear the President and see
him. And the completion of the
canal no doubt appeals strongly
to Mr.. Coolidge. Delaware will
play an important part, but
other communities will be much
concerned. On the committee,
in addition to Colonel Brown,
are J. Hampton Moore, of Phil

the entrance of the new postoffice. All
of the buildings in Jhe proposed build

without doubt the best center
ON the coast and probably the
best in the country. Big, fast
ana heady, he stood out in all
the games as the best player
on the field. His passing was
perfect and his defensive work
was wonderful. He seemed to
have an uncanny knack Of an.
ticipating the opponents plays
and he was always in front Of
them, either tackling the runner
or busting up. the interference.
no team seemed to be able to
keep him out of their backfieId
when he was on the defense,
Drury, OF Southern California,
was the best backfield man on the
coast. His all around playing stood
out prominently in every game. He
was a fine ball carrier at either
running the ends or bucking the
line, good forward passer and a
clever man in running back kicks
He also ran his team well and was
fair punter.
For halfbacks, have selected
Hyland, Of Stanford, and Carroll
OF Washington. These are two on
posite types Of backs. Hyland il
small, but very, fast and is the
cleverest man in the open field OF
any football player in the country
He is a greatly improved player
over former years and has become
q good interferer.
Hoffman of Stanford deserves
first choice for fullback because Of
his all around ability. He Is q fine
punter and exceptionally good for
ward passer and he hits the line
hard. His defensive playing has
also been OF a high order.

something about a left-hander
that just naturally makes him
wild. When he hits a straight
one it's an accident. and every
body around looks and feels a
degree of surprise. A straight
ball off southpaw's club seems
to have exactly the same rela-
ton that a crooked one has off
a right-hander's bat. Which is
why all left-handers should give
it up and begin Immediately to
play from the other side.
