RABBIT FEVER Is FATAL
Board of Health Issues Warming
Against Contracting TuIaremia

Hunters, market men and all
food handlers are warned by DR.
Arthur G. Jost, executive secre-
tary Of the State Board of Health.
to beware of contracting tulare-
mia or rabbit fever. The diseases
appears to be all around Delaware
two cases having been found on
the eastern shore, one of them
proving fatal last week, so that it
is hardly likely that all rabbits eff
fected with the disease are only
in Maryland. Tularemia may be
detected by examing the liver and
spleen, when the animal is a sick
one, these organs will have whit
ish and yellow spots, ranging from
a pin point to sixteenth of an
inch. Keep bare hands away from
wild rabbits, DR.. Jost urges. be-
cause one per cent of wild rabbits
are infected. When the cleaning
of wild rabbit is attempted, rub
Der gloves should be worn. In the
two cases in Maryland, the fatal
one was that of q man 63 years
of age who shot and cleaned sew
eral rabbits. He was sick three
weeks. The other case, that of
younger man, it is believed will
result in his recovery.

j. Nj. YARDLEY CONSTRUC-
TION CO., LOWEST BIDDERS
Will Start Construction 1t is Said,
AS Soon as Material and Labor
Can Be Gotten Together

At meeting of the State Board
of Education held in Dover Fri
day, final action was taken on
awarding the contract for the new
school at Clayton, which award
was held up from the meeting
three weeks ago because of GER
tain adjustments necessary to be
made in the plans of the school.
The award was made to the John
M Yardley Construction Company
a well-known Philadelphia concern
the base bid after making adjust
ments being $68,491. In addition
to this amount, extra contracts
were awarded to Weldin & Sons,
Wilmington, for heating and
plumbing at $1,120 and to E. F.
Higgins, of Wilmington, electrical
work for 81 ,245. 1t is understood
as soon as arrangements can be
made and labor and material can
be gotten together work will be-
gin. The structure will be similar
to the Commodore Macdonough
! School, with the exception OF the
brick. The brick at the Macdon-
ough school is white, while the
/ Clayton school bricks will be
red. The contractors bonds for
the Dover and Smyrna schools ad-
ditions were signed by them and
approved by the board, allowing
the contractors to begin work on

f The subject of a state director of
music for 1930-31 was left with
DR.. H. V. Holloway, state super
intendent of public instruction to
make an investigation and report
at a later meeting. Discussion on
the teacher retirement funds was
deferred until the next meeting
Petitions from The Cedars and
from Lincoln for a new school
building were deferred. A repre-
sentative of an insurance company
appeared before the Board sub
mitting a blanket insurance policy
on builders risks on the new
school buildings now being erected
and that will be erected in the
near future. The plan, that of
automatic caring for insurance on
such buildings as they progress in
the construction, appealed to the
board and it is probable that such
a policy will be taken out Re
