MILFORD TEACHER
HOME FROM FINE TRIP
Miss Helen Tatman Visited Many
Places OF Interest On Coast =

Miss Helen Tatman returned last
Thursday from her very interesting
trip to the west coast, which cover
ed all the places of interest from
Mexico to British Columbia. From
Tia Jaana, Mexico, Miss Tatman
went to California, seeing the beau
tiful homes of the movie stars at
Beverly Hills, at San Francisco the
California University, and then went
up the Yosemite, enjoying the fire
fall particularly; on to Portland,
where she saw the snow-capped
mountains, a sheep ranch near Cas-
tie Rock, marvelling at the enor-
nous trees of the country. She
found the three-mile PuncheOn road
made entirely of boards, very inter
esting. From Seattle she went by
train to Vancouver, returning by
boat to Victoria, where she saw the
Parliament buildings, and enjoyed
the pretty colorful gardens. Back
once more to Seattle and Portland,
Miss Tatman then came out the
Columbia River Gorge to West yell
lowstone, spending five days in yell
lOwstOne Park; thence to Salt Lake.
She saw the Garden of the Gods,
went up Pixies Peak, and then came
home by way of Chicago.

FARMERS TO CONTROL
WEEVIL In WHEAT
Kent County Agent Wilson Tells
How To Combat Pest

The majority of the 1928 wheat
crop in this section of the country
has been threshed, and many of
those farmers who have stored their
grain are experiencing trouble with
the weevil and other insects, ac-
cording to numerous inquiries which
are being received at the office of
Kent County Agent Russell E. Will
son in regard to the most practical
and effective methods of control.
Wheat does not need to be in stor-
age but few weeks before the wee
wills begin tlreir destructive work.
which often results in considerable
damage to the crop as well as a fl
nancial loss to the owner, so con-
troll practices should be followed
just as soon as these insects are
found in the stored grain.
OF the several methods for con-
trolling these weevils, carbon bisul-
phide is the simplest, less expensive
and the most effective control meas
ure which the grain growers can
safely put into use. Carbon bisul-
phide is a colorless liquid which has
very strong and disagreeable 0dor
and, at ordinary temperatures, it
vaporizes readily thereby convert
ing itself into a t,as which is much

POOR CLOTH FOR COPS
UNIFORMS IS REJECTED
c. D. Buck Finds Counterfeit Ma
teriaIS; Order Held Up

Members of the State Highway
police have not received new uni
forms, due to the care exercised by
G. Douglas Buck, chief engineer, in
seeing that the cloth ordered, is of
the texture desired. Sometime ago,
the Highway Commission sought
bids for 35 uniforms. The lowest
bidder was New York concern and
the next bidder was a Wilmington
outfitteT. The uniforms were made
and fitted and forwarded to Della
ware. But Mr.. Buck, upon examin-
ing them, thought he detected a diff
ference in the material from the
one that had been ordered.
One of the coats was sent to a
textile laboratory where it was cut
up and tested, and proved to be
substitute material of the cloth or
dered. The New York concern was
advised of this fact, and did not
deny that substitute materials other
than the one ordered, had been
sent.
The concern offered to adjust the
matter by letting the Highway
Commission name it's own price for
the goods, but the Commission de-
cided not to deal further with the
company. New bids have been asked
and the local outfitter, as well as
others, will make fresh bids for the
work.

REV. GEORGE COOKE
HURT WHILE BATHING
Evangelist In Bed As A Result Of
Plunge In Shallow Water

DR.. George W. Cooke, of Whining
ton, evangelist, while bathing at Oak
Orchard, late Saturday afternoon,
was injured when he dived into
shallow water. DR.. Cooke, who is
director of Delmarvia Camp, located
on the Laurel-Seaford State high
way, was at the resort with the
Bible school of the camp, who were
enjoying picnic there. His head
struck the bottom when he dived.
He came to the top Of the water, and
told friends standing nearby he
thought he had injured himself.
Friends helped him out of the
water, and changing his bathing
suit for street clothes, he was taken
to a specialist at Salisbury, Md, by
Professor w. B. Thornburgh, super
intendent of Seaford schools. An
examination proved his injuries
were confined to his back and chest.
Complete rest was ordered by the
specialist.
He was taken to his tent at the
Delmarvia Camp and put to bed,
where his injuries are being watch
ed by physicians and nurses. 1t is
believed a rest will restore DR..
Cooke to his normal state. DR..
Cooke is one Of the best known
evangelists that ever visited this
peninsula, having held evangelistic
services in every city and town of
Importance on the peninsula.

WILL KEEP HEALTH
DATA OF DELAWARE
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Physical Examinations To Be
Made OF All Pupils When
School Opens.
INSPECT OYSTER BEDS
R. c. Beckett, Sanitary Engineer,
Will Begin Inspection Tour
Next Week.

With the opening of public schools
throughout the State, excepting in
Wilmington, on September 4, county
health units will begin a physical
examination of all school children.
During the war, there were tenta-
tive examinations of Delaware chill
dren, but it was only in an expert
mental way and not intended to
cover the entire State. Last year,
the State Board of Health offered to
examine all school children and the
offer was accepted by the State
Board of Education. Delay in Sc
curing record blanks resulted in
the examination being deferred un-
til this fall.
As speedily as possible, physicians
Of the State Board of Health, at
tached to each county unit, will ex-
anime each child, and the record
will show whether it has had chick
en- pOx, whooping cough, small pox,
measles, scarlet fever, typhoid,
mumps, and diphtheria. The age at
which the child started in school,
its present grade, conduct and date
of the examination will also be
shown.
In addition, this health record will
give the child's heighth, weight, ills
il anything, to the eyes, ears, feet,
nose, chest expansion, skin, posture,
teeth, tonsils, adenoids,
heart and lungs. This record will
be filed in each room in each school,
so that as the child progresses the
record will be of great value to the
next teacher.
All through this summer, these
three county health units have been
giving examinations to pre-school |
children. Those children, found to
have certain defects and whose par
ents have them corrected, will enter !
school on much more favorable con- |
1itions than their predecessors. If |
t is poor eyesight, adenoids, bad |
.eeth, and If these have been cor
'ected. the child's progress in its
studies will be much more rapid
md satisfactory.
1t is the hope of the State Board |
II Health to give each child from
low on at least four physical exam
nations during its school life. AS
esult OF these examinations, the
10Y or girl will not only be benefit
ed In their studies, but will reach
in much better physical
ondition.
On September R. C. Beckett,
anitary engineer of the State Board
I Health, will begin his annual in
pection OF the oyster beds of Della
yare' and test the waters in which
hey grow. This survey will cover

DEMOCRATS SPLIT
In SUSSEX COUNTY
RumOrs OF Fights For Control OF
State Convention OF Party

Surface indications seem to point
to a fight among some of the Demo-
cratic workers in several of the
districts on Saturday for control of
the delegates who will go to the
State convention in Dover on Tues
day of next week to nominate the
State ticket. While there is no visi-
Bile signs of any opposition to Sena-
tor Thomas F. Bayard for renomina-
tion, the belief is that he will be
Sussex COunty's unanimous choice
as caucas nominee for Senator.
In the field at this time there
seems to be two avowed candidates
for Representative in Congress-
John M. Richardson, of GEORGE
town, and Robert P. Davis, of Mil
ford. Both are members OF the Sus-
sex County Bar Association and for
many years have taken an active
part in politics. Within the past
week, there has been an undercur-
rent working, it is stated, to get
control of delegates in some of the
districts for Charles Cullen, son of
the late Judge Charles M. Cullen Of
the State Supreme Court. Those
backing Cullen have been working
on the quiet and propose to draft"
him if they are able to muster to-
gether enough delegates to make
any kind of showing. While Cullen
is said to have been waited upon
some time ago and asked to be a
candldate, yet he is said to have
stated that he was not in the field.

MILFORD WOMAN FINDS
LIFE WORK In WEST
Clipping From Western Paper Tells
OF Work OF Mrs. Andrews

From Western Texas newspaper
was clipped the following:
"The Little House Of Fellowship
has come to have a significant
meaning for large per cent of stu
dents in w. T. Plans are in the
making for the erection Of a new
Little House of Fellowship" for the
Protestant Episcopal Church in Can
yon.
Mrs. E. H. J. Andrews, student
counselor of the college for the
Episcopal Church, established this
house for work, rest and play three
years ago. 1t has become as neces-
sary to w. T. as any institution of
this nature and is ever favored as a
retreat when one is hOmesick or as
desirable place for a social hour.
All of the students testify that Mrs.
Andrews is equally charming as a
counsellor or as a hostess. A cup
of tea in the Little House Of Eel
lowship" is doubly delicious when
Mrs. Andrews tells in her unassum-
ing way some interesting facts
about England or gives to the stu
dents spiritual aid and advice.
1t is hoped that the work on the
new building may begin in the near
future. It will be located just north
of the Episcopal Church, with an
east facing.
Mrs. Andrews friends will be in
terested in this picture of her work,
the inspiration for which, she claims
was her late husband. And some of
us will remember the Rev. Mr.. An
drews' civic interest and commun-
ity labors when he was rector of
Christ Church in Milford.
