1t was obvious to all that If the
suggestion was made law, that it
would do away with the Office OF
rural supervisor in the state.
President of the State Board OF
Education Williams, in speaking on
this point, stated that he believed
that if some of the fads and fancles
were done away with, more efficient
work could be accomplished and
that if the children were better
trained in the common fundamentals
of school life, better results would
be accomplished.
The afternoon session of the SUI
pervisors and principals was taken
I'D with further discussion on school
problems, also the plan of currlcul-
ar cooperation between teachers
of home economics and those OF
general science, discussed with Miss

same year was SO per cent per 1O0,-
900 in the urban parts of the regis
tration area and SO per cent per
100000 in the rural parts. By caus-
alton the percentages differ mater
tally and are important because
they show the various severity of
various hazards in rural and urban
sections. For example, whereas,
railroad accidents, other vehicle ac-
cidents, drowning and firearms take
heavy toll in rural sections, auto
mobile, street car, suffocation, as
phyxation cause a relatively large
number of accidental deaths in ur-
ban sections. In order to gain the
better idea as to the percentage fig
ures quoted it should be recalled
that about half of the population is
rural.
In order that the public may not
underestimate the toll taken by ac-
cidents it should be recalled that
only six other causes of death ex-
coed the toll taken by accidents;
namely, heart disease, cancer, tu-
berculosis, cerebral hemorrhage,
nephritis and pneumonia. Among
children the severity of accidents as
the cause of death is even greater
for between ages, 1 to accidents
rank third, between and IA acct
dents rank first, and between ages
Is and 10 accidents rank second.

one of the principal projects to be
incorporated in this program OF
work which includes the women's
activities as well as those subjects
of interest to the men.
The officers and members of the
executive committee Of the Kent

WARN DELAWAREANS
AGAINST RABBIT FEVER
Continual frnm first hnne1


have reported cases of Tularaemia.
DR.. Davis thinks it likely with Tul-
araemia reported in Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania that some of
the rabbits in these states may have
gotten into Delaware.
November, December and Janu-
airy are the months when the dis
ease is most prevalent. March to
August are the months when the
tick infested with Tularaemia bites
the rabbit.
AS a rule, DR.. Davis stated, the
infection is picked up by humans
through a scratch or cut on the
hand. But the disease can pene-
trate through the skin without it
being broken. Usually an ulcer de-
velops accompanied by enlargement
of the lymph glands which drain the
ulcer. Fever is always present and
continues for two or three weeks.
Rest in bed, DR., Davis stated, is
the best treatment. The enlarged
lymph glands should be treated, The
infection has never been found in
domestic rabbits. There is no pre-
ventive vaccine or curative serum
perfected, nor has there been any
special drug found effective against
tularemia.
Rabbit meat, thoroughly cooked, is
harmless for food and when it is
heated to a high temperature de-
stroys the germs. Rubber gloves
should be worn by those who dress
wild rabbits. Infected rabbits, kept
frozen for thirty days have been
found to be free from infection.

washed them thoroughly. If you are
suffering from a cold he urges the
use of paper handkerchiefs if such
are possible and then destroy them.
Colds, he says are among the pen
alties of civilization. Particularly
in cities it is hard to keep out Of
reach of other persons germs. One
way of avoiding a cold he says, is
to keep in as good condition as pos
sible, by eating nourishing food,
dressing according to the weather
and getting as much fresh air and
sunlight as possible and having
plenty of sleep.
DR.. Davis also comments on other
ways in which colds may be distri-
buted. There is the common drink
ing cup, the roller towel, and wash
cloths. The wash cloth is especially
menacing and is most likely to be
found where there are a number of
little children.
He also points out the ill-judgment
of a father or a mother moistening
their handkerchief in order to wipe
off a mark on the child's face. That
is, if the father or mother has
slight cold. Another unwise practice
is to feed a child from the father
or mothers plate. Bed is the best
place when a cold comes and after
sending for the doctor do what he
tells you, is his advice.

will be mated to the general flock
so that at the end of four years the
pullets Matched from the general
flock will be line bred to contain
about ga of the blood of the original
pedigreed cOckerel.
On the fifth year (19S2) a new
set of pedigreed cockerels will be
purchased and the same process
will be continued for another four
years.
This is a we'll tried method of
breeding. Most of the high laying
strains of birds on the Pacific
Coast were developed by methods
similar to this. With this method
the Iowa State College Experiment
Station has produced several SOO-
egg hens during the past few years.
The success of the method de-
ponds upon the value of the ped1-
greed cockerels purchased to start
with, and the care with which the
special hens are selected each year.
Since under this method only few
males will have to be purchased ev-
cry four years, it will be economical
to buy males costing twenty-five
dollars (25.OO) to fifty dollars
$4,000 each, in place of two dollars
(2.O0) to five dollars (S5.OO) each
as has been the general practice.
Trapnesting is not necessary but
will help to make faster progress.
Also by trapnesting and pedigree
Matching, stock can be produced that
will meet the requirements for GER
titled and record of performance
birds, according to the plan of Poul-
try Standardization recently adopt
ed by the State Board of Agricul-
ture. If possible only farms that
are in shape to do some trapnesting
will be chosen for these breeding
demonstrations. Also preference
will be given to farms that sell baby
chicks or breeding stock as they
will have a greater influence toward
improving the stock throughout the
State.
Delaware has some very high pro-
ducing fiocks of poultry, but very
few breeders in the state have been
doing systematic breeding that
makes it possible for them to know
exactly what they have for sale.
The State Board of Agriculture has
a well organized plan of Poultry
Standardization whereby superior
stock can be labeled and sold as
such. Rapid strides in poultry
breeding can take place in Della
ware with a method Of line breed
ing such as this. Mr.. Palmer re-
norris that tbrea farms have al |
ready been located for these demon
and that about eight more
farms will be chosen.

SWIM MERS FIRST
AS ISLE SETTLERS

Former servcie men who are good
swimmers and boatmen have the pre-
ferred right of entry to islands in
the Mississippi River south of Cairo,
Ill.
Orders issued from the Interior De-
partment last week merely announced
that lands withdrawn from public
entry in 1882 are again opened up for
disposal under the public land laws
and that from June 10 to September
surveyed, vacant and unreserved
land on the islands will be subject to
preferred right of entry by former
service men and those having valid
rights or equitable claims. After
August 20 the general public may file
applications.
Reports of the greatest flood rush
ing down the Mississippi in "a years
indicate that practically all Of the
islands have been completely sub
merged.
However, inquiry at the Office of the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors of the War Department,
brought forth the encouraging state
ment that they would probably be
clear of water in about two months
perhaps before the date of entry.
The islands, composed for the most
part of silt from the river, are ex-
tremely productive and bear good
crops during seasons when the floods
are held in check.

BETHESDA WOMEN
TO HAVE OWN CLUB
Final Plans Approved for.
Country House on
Sonoma Road.

Plans of a group of women to build
and equip a country club home of
their own, moved rapidly toward
realization last week, when the
Won1an's Club of Bethesda, Md, ap-
proved final plans for a clubhouse
rendered by William H. Tuttle, local
architect, and began arrangements
for breaking ground for the clubhouse
within a few weeks.
The final draft of architects plans
were presented at a meeting of the
club last Tuesday when final approval
was given. The building will be
located on ground already owned by
the club at the intersection of the
old Georgetown and Sonoma roads,
and will be in English style, approx
imately so by Is feet, of stucco on
hollow tile construction, with a slate
roof, fronting on Sonoma road, from
a setting of tall trees and low grow
ing shrubs. A stone chimney of mas
sive proportions will add distinctive
touch to the building.
Will Have Large Lobby.
It is planned to construct the build
ing with a large lobby and dressing
rooms on either side of the lobby on
the first floor to accommodate men and
women guests. The auditorium will
be 80 by AZ feet, capable Of seating
200 guests, while a sun parlor with
a capacity Of 100 guests will be located
just beyond 1t.
The club building will resemble
more a residential structure than that
of a club.
The plans for a home for the
Woman's Club of Bethesda had their
incipiency in January, 1926, when it
was decided to buy the acre tract
of wooded land now to become the site
for the clubhouse. Through the gen.
erosity of friends of the club the land
is now paid for, a contribution of $500
from Mrs. Charles 1. Corby clearing
the debt, leaving the club free to pro-
ceed to raise the necessary funds for
the building alone.
Club 16 Years Old.
The club was organized 16 years
ago with membership of eight and
a limitation of 35 upon the total mem
bership. This limitation was not re-
moved until 1922, since which time
the roll has swelled to the present
point beyond 100 members,
A committee of five members was
elected to undertake the building
project under Mr.. Tuttle's supervision,
as follows: Mrs. Earl w. Chafee, Mrs.
Charles 1. Corby, Miss Mona Gill,
Mrs. Elisha Hanson and Mrs. j. Fred
erick Imirie. Mrs. Hanson is the
present chairman of the building COM
mittee.
In connection with the campaign
to raise funds for the club building
Mrs. Oliver Owen Kuhn viii give an
apple blossom dance at the Mont.
gomery Country Club in Bradley Hills
tomorrow night, at which music will
be furnished by the Manor Club Or
chestra. Plans are also going for
ward for large June card party
which has become almost an annual
affair, to be held at the home Of Mrs.
Charles /. Corby, on the Rockville
pike, at date to be announced later.

Famous Psychoanalysist Appealed
to and Sides With Native

By the Associated Press
BERLIN, April 23.-The advice of
Prof. Siegmund Freud, the exponent
of psychoanalysis, succeeded in in.
ducing Richard Tauber, Berlin opera
star, to keep a guest engagement in
Vienna for which he had contracted
several months previously.
Tauber, when reminded of his agree
ment, wired back to Vienna that it
was impossible for him to come be-
cause he was being psychoanalyzed.
He pleaded that while undergoing
treatment he could not undertake
guest tours.
The Vienna opera couldn't see why
Tauber was allowed to play in Berlin
and not in Vienna The management
appealed to Prof. Freud, at whose sug.
gestion Tauber was being anaIyzed.
Prof. Freud sided with his native
city and Tauber was compelled to
sing. He apparently suffered no i'll
