If the Rangers can come out on their home ice to- night in better condition than the Bruins. they have a good chance to force the series 10 it's three game limit. The advent Of the circus. which kept New York fans from see ing their team win the title last year has made it necessary 10 play the New York game tonight.

STATES MILK SUPPLY
IS NOW CLEANER
All Raw Milk Now Coming From
Tuberculin- Tested Herds

All raw milk sold in Delaware
comes from tuberculin-tested herds,
according to an article published in
the current issue of the Delaware
Health News, the publication of the
State Board of Healthh.
When milk control work was
started in the State four years ago
large percentage of the dairy
herds were not tested, particularly
in New Castle county.
During the four years of milk
control the dairymen have realized
the value of tested and clean herds, "
the article states. This has been
given added impetus, due to the
fact that many of the large pasteur-
izing companies are now requiring
that their patrons deliver milk only
from tested herds.
"The pasteurizing plans in this
state are rapidly coming to this
point and within a few years prac-
tically all milk, whether raw or
pasteurized will be from tested
herds.
"The milk now delivered to resi-
dents of the state is far cleaner
than it had been previously. The
dairymen have found that cleaner
methods cost but little and their
product shows it. Furthermore, ac-
tual results can be seen in the re-
duction of infant mortality, which is
q good barometer for indicating the
raised quality of milk"

SAYS DELAWARE TOWNS
NEED SANITATION
Health Board Believes Sentiment
Should Be Aroused On Bond Issues

The sanitation needs of various
small towns of~the state are out
lined in an article published in the
Delaware Health News, official pub
lication of the Delaware State
Board of Health.
A survey, included in the article,
shows the total lack of sewerages
systems in several of the towns.
Many towns, it is stated, are also
without adequate fire protection.
"Under the existing State stat
utes, extensive improvements re-
quiring the issuance of bonds to
provide the necessary funds must
necessarily be predicated on the
authorization of such procedure
by the State Legislature" the ar
ticle reads.
Consequently, any of the town
officials or other interested parties
concerned in bettering the sanitary
conditions of the town in which
they live, must begin early to or
ganize sentiment in favor of the
Improvements, which must result
in concrete bills to be passed upon
and granted by the Legislature.
Several towns have already had
the power granted to them to issue
bonds for certain purposes, but the
town authorities have not felt justi-
fled for various reasons in putting
the question to popular vote
among the citizens of the town."
In referring to the water supply
of some towns, the article sets forth
that camping of wells in towns

KENT AGENT REPORTS
ONITHE YEARS WORK
Much Of The Work Hrs Been
Devoted To The Fruit Crow
ing Industry.

The 1928 annual report of the ag-
ricultural extension work in Kent
county, which has been prepared
recently by County Agent Russell
K. Wilson, includes the methods of
procedure and the various contacts
that have been established in form
ulating and carrying into effect a
program that incorporates practical
solutions to many of the agricultur-
al and economic problems affecting
the farmers at the present time III
this section of the country.
In view of the fact that fruit
growing is one of the leading agri-
cultural industries in this county,
twenty-seven per cent of the time
during the past year was devoted to
conducting different horticultural
projects including orchard and
grape vineyard fertilization demon
strations, life history studies and
control measures of the codling
moth, and the orchard spray service
in cooperation with the Extension
department of the University of
Delaware and the State Board of
Agriculture, in addition to the
grape vineyard spray service with
special reference to the control of
black rot and the grape berry moth.
The planning and conducting Of
projects with such farm crops as
corn, wheat, tomatoes, sweet pota
toes, soybeans, alfalfa and sweet
clover occupied twenty-five per
cent of the county agents time. This
phase of the extension work includ-
ed the treatment of seed corn for
root rot control, and the treatment
of seed wheat to eradicate the
smut, the staging of wheat
variety tests, demonstrations on the
of tomatoes, the con-
troll of stem wilt and black rot in
sweet potatoes, demonstrations
with varieties of soybeans for hay
and seed purposes, and continuing
the alfalfa and sweet clover cam
paigns which also have proven very
successful in this county as indi-
Gated by the increased acreage of
both legumes during the past two
years.
Approximately seventeen per cent
of the years work was given to pro-
noting the different poultry I'M

DENTISTS PLAN ORAL
HYGIENE FOR PUPILS
Discuss Many Problems At An
nual Meeting; Re-elect Nelson
President.

The Delaware State Dental So
ciety, at it's annual meeting in Will
nllngton last week decided that it
would make a determined effort to
establish a definite program of oral
hygiene in the schools of Delaware
with the idea of increasing the
general health of the children and
their efficiency. The Dental Society
was assured of the cooperation of
the State Board of Health and State
and city educators by representa-.
tives Of both bodies.
DR.. c. ]. Hollister, chief of the
dental division of the Department of
Public Health of Pennsylvania, made
a brief address during the after
noon in which he praised the plan,
as did DR.. H. V. Holloway, State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton in Delaware. DR.. A. c. Jost,
executive secretary of the State
Board of Health, John Shilling, as
sistant superintendent in charge of
high schools, George S. Williams,
president of the State Board of Edu-
cation, and DR.. David A. Ward, su-
perintendent of the Public Schools
of Wilmington, all gave assurance
of their support of the plan.
A committee will be appointed by
the society to supervise and arrange
for campaign for the purpose of
dental education being impaired to
the public and especially the par
ents. The campaign will be for the
spread of information regarding the
Importance of oral hygiene, which
it was stated during the meetings,
is one of the most valuable pro-
grams that the public can foster
as a part of the public school
courses.
Dr. Hollister, who made an adj
dress on mouth hygiene and public
instruction before about 100 people
at the meeting told of the work done
in the schools of Pennsylvania by
trained women, whose duties are in
structing hundreds of children in
the proper care of their teeth and
Other hygiene subjects are also
taught by these teachers. DR.. Hol-
lister said that these measures had
succeeded in reducing the number
of absences during the year by
large numbers.
DR.. Hollister also said that inves-
legations conducted by his depart
ment showed that 95 per cent of the
school children were suffering from
dental defects. He followed this
up by quoting from United States
Bureau of Health treatise in which
it was stated that 70 per cent of
the ailments today are directly
traceable to discuss in and about
the mouth.
The service of dental hygienists
can be given to the children of
Jefferis, Jr., and DR.. P. H. Keaveny.

SAY DEAF MUTES ARE
CAREFUL DRIVERS
Pennsylvania Records Show They
Do Not Figure In Accidents

Deaf mutes are probably the SAT-
est automobile drivers in Pennsyl-
vania, according to data obtained by
the Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton from the department of High
ways. Similarly, drivers with one
arm, one leg, one eye or handicap
ped by some other form of physical
defect hold high place in the States
safety records.
This interesting situation is re-
vealed by study of the statistical
data in the Safety Section of the De-
partment at Harrisburg" said Kin
naeus L. Hopes, Executive Secre-
tary of the Association. "It demon
strates that the 'incapacitated' driv-
er, realizing his limitations, handles
his car in a manner that insures
safety to himself and other users of
the highways. He never takes
chances, and the result speaks vol
umes for careful, competent-epera-
ton.
There are 1T deaf mutes holding

and there is no record of any Of
them having been involved in acci-
dent. Depending entirely on sight,
