Madame Tussauds wax works of
London, a famous and popular insti-

the public. The old collection was
destroyed by fire in 1925.
Many thousands of visitors to the
big building on MarylebOne Road
have marveled and stood awed be-
fore the strikingly life-like figures of
celebrities. And they have shudder-

Horrors" where blood-curling scenes
of the underworld were so graphi-
cally depicted. Then, too, there
were many ordinary characters and
persons looking so natural and dres-
sed So realistically as to be taken
for real persons by visitors. Many a
man has asked for information from
the wax policeman; some have even
caught themselves admiring attrac-

at the rate of about two bushels per
acre. Soy beans, like ordinary gar
den beans, will not stand deep COW
ering. Planting an inch deep is
about right
incubation is also very impor-
tant. This will increase the yield of
roughage, better the protein content
and also leave the soil in better con-
ditiOn after the beans are removed.
If you are growing beans for the
first time, incubation is absolutely
necessary, as proven by various dem
onstrations held by former County
Agent Vaughn. The easiest method
of inOculating is by the Soil Method.
This consists of taking about two
gallons of good soil, taken from a
field where beans had been grown
last year, and mixing it with a bush
ell of seed. 1t is best to remove the
first two inches of soil and then take
the next two inches, because this is
the soil where the bacteria are
found. Dampen the soil either with
water alone or you may add little
glue to the water. The latter will
make the particles of soil stick to
the beans.

MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL BASE
BALL TEAM HAD GOOD YEAR

Milford High School has just COM
pleted a successful year on the dia-
mond. While no pennants were won
or no championship banners will fly
from the flagpole, the team did earn
an even break over the winners of
this division championship, FELTON,.
Harrington, with an unusually
strong outfit, were played to an even
break as was Caesar Rodney. To-
yer, with weak team, fell twice be-
fore the lads from Milford.
The team was not team of stars,
nor was it an experienced team.
There were, however, enough exper-
ience to balance the greenness so
that there were no debacles or
slaughters. Good base ball was play
ed and each game afforded many
thrills.
Thistlewood as a hitter was the
best of the lot. His pitching was
also the chief reason for victories
over Harrington and FELTON,. Marvel
at third and Wroten in center were
the real defensive stars. Grier at
short covered plenty Of grounds but
an injury to his throwing arm re-
duced his effectiveness. Grier was
probably the best base runner of the
year in this division. Roberts, SER
wing his first year as varsity catch
er, had some bad moments, but these
were made up for by his earnest
work.
The squad will be hard hit at the
end of this season through the loss
of Grier, ThistleWOod, Wroten and
Masten, but there are several prom
Using Freshmen in the incoming
class.
Keen rivalry had been shown for
the last two weeks by the members
of the base ball team Of the Milford
High School as to who shall lead the
squad in batting. A beautiful ring
has been offered by N. M. Stokes to !
that member who had the best aver
age based on five or more games.
The leading candidates for the
prize are Reese ThistleWood Of |
Gene Sharp, of Houston,
and Garrett Grier of Milford. This
tlewood was batting an even 500 |
when he went into the last two con-
tests. The next best average was
1882.

county, was convicted of driving a
car while intoxicated and his Ii
cense was revoked. He went to
Camden, N. j., and remained there
long enough to obtain New Jersey
license, and then moved over tenn
porarily to Philadelphia. Even
since, he has been driving his car
; through Delaware with the New
Jersey license, according to Off
cials.
When he was arrested in Della
ware and convicted of driving while
intoxicated, he took an appeal, but,
it is said he did not file his appeal
within the required legal time.
Nevertheless, it is stated, his appeal
was accepted but the case has never
come to trial.
Another instance occurred in
Kent county last week. A man was
arrested and accused of driving
while intoxicated. He was taken
before three physicians in one town
for examination, but these physic-
ians refused to testify against him.
According to State officials, their
reasons are obvious. They say to
their friends it is stated, that they
do not want to be mixed up in any
such case.
The third incident had an un-
fortunate conclusion, when the man
accused of violating traffic laws by
driving while intoxicated, died a
few days ago it is stated, of delir-
ium tremens. This man had been
accustomed to driving while under
the influence of liquor and generally
conducting himself in a way that
was menancing to others, reports
show. He had been arrested but

GIVE BABY'S TEETH GOOD
START

The development of teeth in hu-
man beings begins at least six
months before birth. 1t is believed
that the diet Of the prospective mo-
ther plays an important part in the
formation of these teeth. Thus a nu-
tritious diet for the prospective mo-
ther lays the foundation for healthy
teeth in the baby while the lack of
proper diet not only deprives the
baby's teeth of some of their normal
vigor, but the mothers also. Every
child has two sets of teeth, the

STATE BOARD
MADE MISTAKE

Attorney A. A. Hinman has re-
ceived a letter from A. L. Scott,
president of the Board of Cover
nors of the State Bar, which
states that the board was in err
ror in making its decision in the
Breeze case on August 81, Judge
Breeze not having had 20 days
notice and the opportunity to
make a statement in reply to the
charges to which he is legally en-
titled
Mr. Scott calls attention to the
fact that the rules OF the Board
approved August z, had not yet
been printed and that there
fore the members of the Board of
Governors were not informed.
On August 26 the board learned
that their action was in viola
ton of Rule 80 because Judge
Breeze had not been given a
hearing. They have called another
meeting of the Board of Cover
nors for Sept. 81, at which Judge
Breeze can take such action as
he desires.
1t is hoped that the citizens
and the press will give the state
bar credit for an earnest desire
to act impartially and to do
justice not only to members of
the bar but for the entire state
